kcc Is Left of the Wreck.

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS. y. J.. April
l2.-All that IS left OF the thrce-masted
schooner Kate Markec. which went
ashore or Highland Beach yesterday.
Is a portion Of the bow sticking nose
dow deep into the sand.
The wind was stIll blowing ferCely
from the northeast when an Evening
World" reporter surveyed the wreck
this morning. About three miles OF
shores lay u bark and a four-masted
schooner at anchor. Two tugs lowered
near them. but the He saving men
cast anxious eyes at IN" tossing vessels,
knowing that If tho anchor chain should
part nothing Cou!d save them from
destruction on the beach. Towards
noon tn" fpur-masted schooner hove
one Of tn" tugs. The journey to the
Hook then began and the vessel finally
reached Il safe harhOr. The bark. how
ever. refused assistance and hung to
her anchorage
The enormous size Of the waves may
be Judged when L Is known hat the tugs
~di'appoareI from view in the trough OF
the sea.
So bodies have yet teen washed ashore
from the Kate Markee. This seems
lui feet from the beach. Tn reporter
asked an explanation OF this from an
Old salt and the following answer
was given; Them h3aies won't come
ashore until the wind changes. No
bodies ever come out Of the sea on the
east wind. l don't know why this is.
but II Is a true saying"
This being the case, 1t is doubtful II
all Of the bodies will be recovered. The
fishermen say that the east wind will
drive them down the coast II they
may turn up miles below the High
lands.
The Parkertown Inhabitants do not
hesitate to criticise the l~ife-savinE men.
Th"y say the men from S~permaciti owe

aged by the storm.

COMFY ISLAND, N. Y. April 1.-THE
beach here is lined with wagons this
morning gathering up for kindling wuuu
the debris left by the waves yesterday.
Brighton and the Manhattan and Orien-
tai Beachcrs suffered most from the
storm, and the West End is heartlessly
rejoicing in the acquisition OF sand
washed away from the shore of the
other end of the island.
As a result the shore line of the
western part OF the Island Is further out

ANDREWS LAUDS ANDREWS.
The Commissioner Tells How Much
Money He Has Saved the City.
And How Beautifully Clean the
Streets Are Being Kept.

STRENGTHENING Commissioner An
drews made a report to-day to Mayor
Gilroy OF the operations of his Depart
ment for three months past. The report
covers over two typewriter pages. le-
gal car size, and is devoted exclusively
to praise OF Mr.. Andrews by Mr.. An
drews.
He tells the Mayor what a really good
and economical Commissioner he is.
He figures 1t out that he saved the city
$4,000 in the cost of operation, as COM
pared with the first three months of
last year.
Here is one OF Mr.. Andrews state
ments:
The greatest proportionate saving has been
loading scoWs, that work never having been done
so ~cheaply. The saving effected In the cos, OF
cost Of anal disposition OF refuse on soows is
i i a 5.iS C ;ar , PeF sps9 ,S1sS n as ssH'n st
removed on scows was sol oOl cubic yards. and
the cost was .los. O2s rs. while the quantity of
material removed during the past quarter was
While this difference results largely from the
saving in the cost OF towing and unloading. a
considerable part is due to the greater severity
Of the Winter OF 1893. involving an increased
d~iffcu!ty in the movement OF scows.
Mr. Andrews lays 1t on still thicker In
the following:
During the first three months Of 1898 there were
removed from the most important OF the leading
thoroughfares Sc, l55 carloads OF snow. at an
average cost OF ~ as cents per CARLOAD. or a
total expenditure OF SG2. ass. IS. The average cost
per carload for the past twelve years was So 9-i0
cents. For the corresponding period OF the cur
rent year there were so removed 1903, 26 carloads,
at an average cost OF 81 12 cents per CARLOAD,
or a total expenditure OF $50, 1853. s5.
In the cost OF feeding the horses belonging to
the Department there has been a saving OF more
than 10 per cent.
The saving In the cost Of sweeping the streets
past year Is II Ito per cent.
Three hundred and eighty two miles OF paved
streets are swept daily Except Sundays. No
part OF the city Is neglected. THE most densely
populated tenement house districts are ns thor
oughly cleaned each day as are the principal
thorouRhfares. 1t is. however, impossible to keep
all the streets clean or free from mud or dust.
or neat In appearance, 80 long as the street
car companies are permitted TO sand their tracks
and the people are not prevented from littering
the streets with rubbish swept from their stores
and houses. Where pavefnents are torn up or
sand Ia spread over those newly laid. there can
not be any effective street cleaning.
Mr.. Andrews does not explain how, in
view of the fact that he has been pay
ing II cents per cubic yard for removing
refuse under a private agreement. and
that since THE Evening World ex-
posed this e~xtravagant deal it Is re-
saved any money to the city.

MAC LEAN WAS ON HAND.
Police Commissioners Present ut
the Examination of PntroImen,

Twcnty-eight patrolmen from differ
ent precincts tried the examination for
promotion to the grade Of roundsman
before the Police Inspectors to-day.
Almost every one in the Police Depart
mcnt considers II a remarkable circum-
stance that Police Commissioner Mac
Lean attended the examination. II Is
said that this Is the first tlEe in the
history of the Department that a Police
Commissioner has thought IL consistent
with his duty. or a part OF il, 10 be

\ Gr,gt deal Of curiosity has been ex-
cited in consequence as 10 the purpose
of Commissioner Macl."an. This may
De made known when the result Of the
examination Is submitted TO the Board
OF Commissioners for action.
Mr. NiaC4 .can's presence in the exam

FULTON MARKET FLEET.
Apprehension that Some of the
Many Fishing Smncles Are Lost.

Much apprehension Is felt by the own
ers Of the New York fishing fleet,
which is owned by the Fulton Market
FISH merchants. for the safety of the
boats now outside.
up to noon to-day no reports of disas-
tiers had been received. but the general
feeling OF the owners was that many Of
the boats must inevitably have suffered
much damage. Losses of crews are also
expected.
Though very stanch the boats have
a such severe weather that It will
be a miracle II they have escaped safely.
The average crew of a fishing boat
numbers ten men. OF these fully 40 per
cent. are married and as a rule have
large families. averaging about five chill
dren to each household. AS there are
now thirty-one boats outside, 1t ia easy
~ recognize what widespread misery the
loss of even one boat would cause.
