The Mayor vouchsafed the information
this afternoon that City Attorney Weart
had practically resigned two months ago.
But there is no record of his resignation,
owing undoubtedly to the fact that the
Mayor asked him, as he did Mr.. Edwards,
not to resign.
MR.. EDWARDS INTERVIEWED.
Mr.. Edwards, in speaking of the action of
the Board of Finance, said: sit was all I'M
expected to me. But l can but repeat Mayor
Wanser's expression to the effect that two
years ago when he went into office | wished
to resign and informed the Mayor that was
willing to resign at any time.

AGE OF THE HUMAN RACE
Interesting Articles Determining 1t
by DIR. ID. G. Rrfnton.

The fullest answer that science can yet
give to the three most interesting questions
perhaps ever asked, in the world, are ex-
planned in an interesting article in the De-
cember Forum, by DIR. Daniel g. Brinton,
the ethnologist These questions ares
when did the first man appear2g by what
process did he appears" and, Where did he
he appear!" Summing up all that geologists
and anthropologists know, he appeared GER
tainly $4,000 years ago, and it may be as
many as 200, 600 years ago. The evidences of
his existence which date back $4,000 years
are unmistakable. By what process he came
into being, science has no definite
answer. If it refuses to accept the doctrine
of specific creation it must refuse also, for
lack of complete evidence, to accept tn
doctrine of gradual eYolution-the old Dar-
winian doctrine. Dr. Brinton thinks the
theory of evolution by leap is as good as
any other.t theory According to this, man
sprung from some high order of mammal,
the great tree-ape perhaps, by break, just
as men of genius are freaks, and as all the
vegetable and animal kingdom show freaks
As to where man first appeared, it is beyond
doubt that his earliest home was in South
ern Europe, or Asia or North Africa No
earlier traces OF him have been found than
those found in the area that is now England,
France and Spain

The Leader In the Bicycle Race
Takes Suddenly Ill.
New YORK, Dec %, 1893.-The attendance
at the bicycle race in Madison Square Gar
den during the early morning hours was
slight and the big place presented deserted
appearance. The contestants looked fresher,
however, than they did yesterday, and it
looks as if most of them will be in at
the finish on Saturday night. Fuller
and Barton dropped out of the struggle
early this morning. Martin, who is surely
out to win the race, had fainting SPELL and
was sick to his stomach at seven o'clock this
morning. He was taken to his quarters and
subsequently his trainer said that friends of
some of the other contestants bad drugged
him. This statement could not be substanti-
ated. Martin soon got better and returned
to the track
On account of Martins illness the man
agement has secured the attendance of two
detectives to see that no crooked work is
DONE
At twenty minutes past two this morning
Forster fell off his wheel while riding around
half asleep. He was not injured and mount
ed again without assistance.
Martin crossed the 1,000-mile line at forty
two minutes past two A. NJ, and Van EN-

SCHOOL AND HEALTH.
Physical Effects of High Mental
Training.

training.
The modern school is now the most widely
extended institution the world has ever seen,
and it was never SO fast extending as at
present. North Africa, New Zealand, Egypt,
Finland, and many till lately barbarous
lands, under the present colonial policies,
have developed elaborate school systems.
The juvenile world now goes to school and
has its brain Initiated and tattooed, and we
have entirely forgotten that men have been
not only good citizens, but great, who were
in idyllic ignorance of even the belauded in
vention of Cadmus. Now, if this tremend-
Gus school engine, in which everybody be-
lieves now with catholic consensus of
belief perhaps never before attained,
is in the least degree tending to deteriorate
mankind physically, it is bad knowledge
bought at the expense of health, which is
wholeness or holiness itself in its higher
aspect, is not worth what it costs. Health
conditions all the highest joys of life, means
full maturity, national prosperity. May we
not reverently ask, What shall it profit a
child if he gain the whole world of knowl-
edge and lose his health, or what shall he
give in exchange for his health? That this
is coming to be felt is seen in the rapidly
growing system of school excursions, school
baths, school gardens, school lunches, pro-
visions for gymnastics of the various schools,
medical inspection, school polyclinic, all of
which have lately been repeatedly prescribed
and officially nornalized.-Ptesident G.

JEWISH DREAM OF JERUSALEM.

To the oriental Jews, Palestine is still the
land of promise, and they still dream that
it is destined to become once more Jewish
state. Few persons who consider the condi-
tions OF the East and the power of the jew
lsh race will pronounce the realization of
this dream to be impossible, or even in a
very high degree improbable Perhaps the
most formidable obstacle is the poverty of
the land and the total absence among the
Jews of agricultural tastes and aptitudes
One thing, however, may be safely pre-
dicted II Palestine is ever again to become
a Jewish land, this will be effected only
through the wealth and energy of the West
ern Jews, and it is not those Jews who are
likely to inhabit it.-W. E. Fl. Lecky in De-
ceHlber Forum.

is 1T POSTMASTER REOoRDq
Many Say That the Commission Will
Go 10 TOoIeY street

Go 10 TooIey street.
There was widely circulated rumor
around the city today that George L. Record,
the foreman of the present Grand Jury, had
been appointed Postmaster to succeed Colonel
Dickinson. Almost every one down town
heard the rumor before noon, and
Mr.. Records office was besieged with
throng of citizens congratulating him upon
his appointment or asking him if there was
any truth in the rulnor. There were also
some who, umnindful of the fate of the early
worm, came around to get in an application
for some of the positions which the new
postmaster will fill.
To all of these Mr.. Record replied that he
had received no intimation from Washing
ton that he had been appointed or that he
was going to get the position. He had
never asked for the position, he said and if
he should be selected for the position he
would be as much surprised as any one.
Postmaster Dickinson had heard the
rumor but in different shape. He said that
he did not understand that Mr. Record had
been appointed but from what he heard he
thought the appointment would go to Mr..
Record when the Senate reconyened. What
grounds Colonel Dickinson had for thinking
so he would not divulge
One politician, who is well posted on what
is going on, said that he would not be sur
prised if the appointment should go to Mr.
Record, as he felt convinced that some such
man as he would capture the prize An ap-
pointment of that nature would be right in
line with those the President has been MAX
ing lately.
''If Cleveland was going to appoint any of
your kellys, Christy Smiths or men of that
kind" said the politician, s'he would have
done SO last week when Dickinson's term ex-
pired heard Bob Jordon say himself last
week that he had no chance, and under
stand that George B. De Revere has return
ed from Washington convinced that he will
not be the next postmaster

THE BATTLEsHIP RESOLUTION.
Hts Experience I'm the Gale Leads to
Much Thinking.


LONDON, Dec. %, 1s93.-Admiral Horsey
has sent to the Times a letter from an officer
of the warship Resolution, who says that he
never before went through such terrifying
experience. He directs attention to the sta
bility of the Resolution as entirely matter
of theory, based upon the calculation of the
constructors of the department, the result
being maximum stBbility at So degrees
with O rapidly declining chance of righting
until the vanishing point of 65 degrees is
reached. The Resolution rolled to AZ de-
grees each way Immediately after she en-
tered the Bay of Biscay iu moderate wealth
er.
During the gale the sea rolled over the
forebridge, which was 50 feet from the
water,n save the writer. "The approaching
waves blocked the view of the horizon. Dur
ing the squalls the surface of the sea was
torn up and driven along; sheet of spray
noise were horrifying. We steamed slowly,
keeping the vessels head to the sea. knowing
all the time that any deviation of the helm
would break down the engines and steering
gear and would capsize the
ship. Owing to the waters
rushing in and menacing to quench the fires,
everything was closed except small hatch
way amidships, by which the 700 men aboard
for eighteen hours had to go up and down.
The atmosphere below was filthy and poison
Gus. The next day the gale moderating and
coal running short, the question arose what
it was best to do. We dared not turn for
fear of going over. At four o'clock in the
afternoon of December 81, the weather al
lowed us to alter our course couple of
points and make for Queenstown. The ship
behaved splendidly as far as she could, but
the evident absence of stability makes every
man of mature experience aboard feel
thoroughly unsafe"
Admiral Horsey, in commenting upon this
letter says:-"The Resolution may be good
design for fighting 1t is possible, though I
do not admit it, that the exigencies of war
necessitate topheavy and unseaworthy ships
But nothing is an excuse for a new iron
ship so constructively weak as to become
dangerously strained and leaky in one
galen

OUTRAGE ON AMERICAN SOLDIERS
Two Shot, Without Cause, by Do-
mfnican Soldiers.

Two Snots W1thOut Causes by Do.
mfnican Soldiers.
NEW YORK, December 2S, 1S93.-The
Clyde line steamer George w. Clyde, which
arrived here today, brings information
about the outrages perpetrated upon Ameri-
can sailors by the San Domingo authorities
which will doubtless raise serious interna-
tlonal complications between the two Gov
ernments
Two seamen belonging to the crew of the
American schooner Henry Crosby were shot
and dangerously wounded by San Domingo
soldiers.
= The Henry Crosby was trying to make the
Port of Azua, which is about ninety miles
from San Domingo City, on December H.
Inc captain had lost his bearings, and the
schooner approached the port of Old Azua,
about ten miles distant from Azua.
The vessel was anchored, and small boat
was lowered to send ashore for information
as to the locality. The first officer and four
men got into the boat and pulled for the
land. When about 500 yards out file of
soldiers clad in the uniform of the Dominican
Army, came running down to the beach
When they reached the waters edge the men
drew up in line, and, levelling their carbines
at the men in the Crosby's small boat,
fired
One of the sailors threw up his hands and
fell at the feet of his companions. The
others paused in surprise and alright, when
suddenly another volley was fired from the
shore. By this the first officer was shot.
Then the boat was put about and turned
towards the schooner. The sailors rowed
for their lives.
The wounded man was taken aboard the
Crosby Then it was discovered that the
first officer had been shot in the shoulder and
that the seaman had been struck by several
bullets. A wound in the back is believed to
be fatal
The Crosby's captain did not know what
to make OF such barbarous and unwarranted
treatment. He hoisted sail and after a time
reached the port of Azua. From there he
reported the outrage to the United States
Consul General at San Domingo City. At
the latter's request the full details Of the
shooting were written out by the captain
and the report has been forwarded to the
United States authorities at Washington.
The letter came by the George W. Clyde
and will probably reach the State Depart
ment tonight.
No information or satisfaction was given
to the American skipper by the Dominican
authorities. 1t is supposed, however, that
the soldiers believed that the American
sailors We're band of conspirators who
intended to overthrow the Government of
President Heureaux
The San Domingo officialsIhad information
of an intended invasion by rebels from
Turks Island, Jamaica, or Hayti, and were
SO sure that the invaders were coming. that
they did not stop, to investigate, although
the Crosby was flying the Stars and Stripes

Question Arises I'm the Attachment
on the New ENGLAND RaiIroad.

VAA tAC INctt E1dI1FOaOs
HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. 2S, 1893.-Doubt
is expressed in legal circles as to whether the
large attachment put upon the property of
the New York and New England Railroad
last night, in the suit of the Philadelphia,
Reading and New England Road will hold.
Judge Townsends order appointing w. 7.
Hart of Boston receiver of the New England
Road for Connecticut was issued in New
Haven at $50 o'clock p M and after that
hour attachments could not be legally made
on the property of the road 1t was 730
O'Clock or after before the papers in the suit
were delivered to Sheriff Preston to execute
and over an hour elapsed before he could
gather his deputies and reach East Hartford
1t was nearly 9 o'clock before the Sheriff pre-
sented the writ to Division Superintendent
Quigg, and began to tie up the rolling stock.
The attorneys who prepared the writ knew
that up to i've o'clock Judge Townsend had
not appointed receiver, but it was ten
O'Clock before the news of Receiver Hart's APP
pointment reached them. The official notice
of the appointment was not received by any
railroad official or the Sheriff until this
morning. It is claimed by friends of the
New England that an attachment executed
one minute after receiver is appointed is
invalid and in contempt of court.
