THE POLICE TROUBLES.

Police matters may just now be de-
scribed as "h'gh-mixed." Commissioners
McClave is reported as about to re-
sign, though his) friends deny II, and
Mayor Gilroy has heard nothing about
the resignation. II he should resign the
Mayor would probably appoint another
Republican In his place. and then the
blessing of a bipartisan Police Board
for which Mr.. Plat has offered UP 50
many fervent prayers. will be realized.
The investigation by the Commits
sioners, to have been conducted by AS
sistant District-Attorney Wellman
seems to have come to a halt for the
lack Of evidence. 1t Is said that the
witnesses who appeared before the
Lexow Committee have been advised
not to testify before the Police Board.
and have for some reason taken the
advice. They believe they will forfeit
the protection Of the Lexow Committee
IL they give evidence before the police
tribunal.
This IL to be regretted. inasmuch as the
service could not fail to be benefited by
the removal Of corrupt officers. and II
they were not removed 1t would be
proof that the Commissioners do not
desire to purify the force. This Is just
what the people want to know.

of Contention.
(By Associated Press. J

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Demo-
cratic conferres on tho Tariff bill con-
tinued their session to-day. but when
they took theii noon recess declined to
state except in very general terms what
progress had been made. They had
under consideration some OF the more
important disputed points In the Senate
amendments, including those on sugar
and lead, but according to the best ac-
counts obtainable have not reached a
definite conclusion on either OF these
items.
The House conferrees made a definite
demand for the restoration OF lead ore
to the House rate of 10 per cent, with
free lead ore when mixed with silver
ere. and, being met with firm front by
the Senate members of the Committee.
indicated willingness to compromise
on q rate Of one-half cent per pound
rms proposition was not accepted by
the Senators and the matter was left
undecided.
The Conference Committee has given
considerable attention to the sugar
schedule. but the indications are that
this schedule will be one of the last on
which the conferrees will reach an I'M
Outstanding. The House members have
represented to the Senators the feeling
which exists In the House on the ques-
ton Of any duty on sugar. but have been
met by their Senatorial colleagues with
the assertion that the duty Is probably
essential to the passage OF the bill In
the Senate.

man and shoots Himself.

Park Policeman Hargert met an old
man walking through the Ramble in
Central Park about gao o'clock this
morning. who remarked TO him:
II think 1t will be very warm to-day"
Yes; II looks that way" the police
man replied. The old man, who seemed
very feeble moved slowly along.
Ten minutes later Hargert was star
tied by the report of two pistol shots
They sounded In the direction of Flag
Bridge, north of the Ramble. Hurrying
there, he found the old man with whom
he had recently spoken lying on his side
IN the dewy' grass. drenched IN blood and

A big s2-calibre pistol was clutched in
the thin. white nerveless fingers of his
right hand. One bullet he had fired Into
his head behind the right ear, the other
through the heart. He must have died
instantly.
There was look OF peace on the wan
looking old face. as II the world-weary
traveller had been only too glad to die.
The body was sent to the MOrgue.
There were no 'eters or papers in the
dead mans clothes to tell his name or
who or what he was, or the causes
which led him to kill himself
He was apparently about sixty years
old. and dressed In a dark coat and vest,
checked trousers, brown derby hat,
laced shoes, white cotton shirt and UNI
derwear, standing collar and black tie
In the clothing were found two pairs oi
eyeglasses, Il penknifc, twelve cents II
