BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

-George c. German. the three months old son of Mir and Mrs George German of IT Third street. died last evening of cholera morbus. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon.
 Otto Hermann, Charles Missell, Mat thew Doyle and James Morris left thi. afternoon for Meadows End, where they will be joined by Mrs James Morris, Mag gie Bergin, Julia NeCarty and Annie Sui- ivan. who are summering at that place.
 Collector Henry Wilton of the South Brooklyn district is awaiting the return of Attorney Brett from Mantle to enter a law suit against Hugh Szults of the school dis trict. to compel him to pay tax bill of s2 he has no legal right to collect If the case comes before the court, it will be an i'm teresting one. and will bring out the whole doings of the South Brooklyn com- mittee. There are those who claim that the residents have not been duly warned of district meetings. and that the manner in which the whole business of the dis trict has been conducted. is illegal.
 This morning the reporter was handed the names of several young men who, it is claimed, are making life miserable for some of the residents. The reporter re- fused to comply with the request to pript them. and informed the man that if he should call on Chief Egan, and promise to appear against those fellows in court, the chief would do the rest. He said he did not want to get his name mixed up with such business. and that the gang would be down on him forever if he should do any thing of the kind. We have referred to those abuses in a general way. and do not think it our duty to make a personal attack on any of these fellows. None of them have ever interfered with the reporter. and he sees no reason why he should invite enmity, when the aggrieved are afraid to appear against them.

 The Japanese are doing their utmost tc throw the whole blame of the destruction of the transport Row Shing, with its load of Chinese soldiers. upon the piratical Chinese, and they blandly assert that the British government, whose flag the Row Shing was flying, will have the strongest kind of claim for damages against China.

 NEW YORK, Aug. Is.-The Cunard line steamer Campania, which arrived from Liverpool and Queenstown, has earned the title of queen of the ocean, besides be- Ing a record breaker.
 She left Daunt's rock at 45 D. m. on Aug. l2 and arrived at the Sandy Hook liGhtship at 5:45 last evening. Her time of passage was days 9 hours and go min utes, which beats all previous records by about hours and 10 minutes. The Cam pania had just previously to sailing been in dry dock and was in prime condition for making fast run. Moderate wester- ly winds were experienced up to Aug l4, when the wind vsered to the eastward, and thore was a fresh breeze On cross ing the banks on the 18th much fog was encountered, and 1t was necessary to run the engines at reduced speed for two hours The wind at this time veered to the northward and continued to port. On the 17th the steamer made the remarka- bly good run of 545 knots. The Cam pania's daily runs were 5l6, 52s, 5I3, 625, 545 and 126.

The theory was then advanced that while increased engine power might be placed in ships the ele- ments to be overcome would prevent any vessel from greatly exceeding the speed of the Inman liner.
 Since then the ocean record has been TO. peatedly broken until it was reduced to the 511 day limit It remained for tho twin screw flyer Campania to lower the record

The Republican Caucus.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS.-Ths Republic m caucus adjourned without having sc- complished Grcat deal Senator Aid rich brought up the question Of Republic m interference with the selection of a Democrat on the finance committee, when Senator Pcttigrow stated that there was no need of discussing the questiOn-as there wero eight Republicans who would not agree to it-as it would result in break ing up all party discipline in the senate That matter was then dropped. As to taking action on tho filling of tho yacan- cy, the general feeling was that no party action was necessary.
 The resolution of Senator Murphy was discussed, and 1t was decided that the Re publicans would support 1t in a modified form, which would not specify tariff leg islation, but would state that in view of the fact that the session was so near the end that 1t is impracticable to attempt to pass any contested legislation during the remainder of the session and that 1t is tho duty of congress to adjourn as soon as possible It is probable that if O vote can be had upon this resolution 1t would so- cure enough Democratic votes to pass
 The Republicans claim that any sephr- ate tariff bill to which there is an ohjec tion will be debated until it Is defeated by lack of a quorum and that it is useless to mako any attempt to secure the passage of any of those now before the senate A Card of Thanks.
