Made by tho Various missioners.
The Brooklyn politicians were much inter
ested yesterday In the widely circulated ru-
NOR OF supposed falling out between Mayor
Schleren and Mr.. Alfred Il. White. who Is TO be
the new Commissioner Of Public Works The
story was that tho Mayor wanted to have
Mr. White appoint Geo. y. BENJAMIN.
n Twenty ward statesman as Su-
perirtendent OF Streets in place OF
George Sterling. and that when he f'nal-
ly communicated his views to that OBJECT
to SIR White the latter bluntly refused to do
anything of the kind. informing Mr. BENJAMIN
that Mr.. Il. L. Adams was To- get the Job. IL
was further reported that Mayor Schieren and
Mr.. White had n controversy over the matter.
and that the latter told the MaYor that II no
could not control the subordinate appoint
ments in his department he would not take
the place.
II turns out that although Mr.. BENJAMIN
confidently expected to get the place through
groyed ut his turn down, there has not been
any controversy between the Mayor and Mr..
White over the matter. and their relations
continue most harmonious,
1t Is quite true that the Mayor has submitted
several names from time 10 time to Mr.. White
as available material for him to draw upon in
the reorganization oi tho stan Of the city

tinctly understood that the various Commits
