THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Mr.. II: W. Gray. who has Just resigned
from the Fire Commission. makes some
serious charges against the Department.
He asserts that forty per cent. more has
been paid for certain supplies than they
could be purchased for in open market
that three hundred dollars have been
paid for horses hat could be bought for
about half hat sum. and that when he,
as a Commissioner attached TO a coal
voucher a protest against Its payment on
the ground that the contracts in regard
to weight had not been carried out. his
protest was torn OF and destroyed, and
thur an oficial document was illegally
mutilated.
As yet these charges rest only on the
word OF Mr.. Gray, who may have been
misled or imposed upon by false state
ments. They have been referred by the
Mayor to the Commissioners OF Ac-
counts for investigation.
This is not a proper reference. The
Commissioners OF Accounts are not the
proper persons TO inquire into the offenses
alleged against the Fire Department.
1t Is their province to examine the books
and accounts OF the Department, In order
to substantiate or refute the statements
made by Mr.. Gray as to the prices al.
legged 10 have been paid for horses and
supplies. But the charges OF oficlal mis-
conduct made by Mr.. Gray ought to be
Investigated by a different tribunal.

The latter little affair was promptly

Fitch desired to look more carefully
into the larger matter and so It's con-
sideration was postponed for a week.
This II the scheme which ex-Comp-
trolier Myers was unwilling to sanction.
He found none OF the large steamship
companies anxious for the improvement
or willing to promise large rents for the
proposed new docks. The principal lines
expressed themselves as well satisfied
with their present quarters and hence Mr..
Myers reported It as ~inexpediene to
hurry a>work by no means pressing and
to add twenty millions to the city debt.

MAY lNDICT TRUSTEES.
Mrs. GalliRan, Ex-School Principal
Charges Libel.

The Grand Jury may be asked this
week to indict for libel W. Harris
Roome. ex-Judge Richard Kelly and c.
w. Hornthal, who were School Trustees
Of the Nineteenth Ward In 1892.
The complainant against them is Mrs.
Louise NJ. G~alligan. who was principal
OF the primary depa rtmept OF school No.
10, In the Nineteenth Ward.
Mrs. Galligan had a long confer
ence yesterday with Assistant District
Attorney Henry Allen, who has charge
of the Grand Jury affairs.
Mrs. Galligan was dismissed upon the
recommendation OF the trustees, and she
now claims that they grossly libelled
her In many ways.
The charges upon which she was dis
missed were ineficiency and incompe-
tency, neglect OF duty. conduct unbe-
coming a principal and teacher and
classifying the time-record book. She
was tried before the trustees and they
recommended her removal by the Board
OF Education, OF which the late Adolph
l.. Sanger was Chairman.
1t was alleged that Mrs. Galligan's as
ISOLATE teachers said she terrorized and
bulldozed them; that she boosted OF her
influence with certain trustees: that she
used abusive language and that she re-
ceived men In her private room during
school hours.
Mrs. Galligan has several civil suits
| pending against the trustees.

Boss PLArT SPEAKS.

Mr.. Plat showed his hand yesterday
on the subject of M~ilhollandism and
ouiggery In the Republican party. and
declared himself distinctly and emphat-
ically in favor OF the Milholland revolt
against, the regular Republican organiza-
ton. 4 T. g "fr
II seems singular to find Mr.. Plat
against the machine. But the fact Is
that the machine has shown plain indica-
ions OF being against the boss. n SO
Mr.. Plat Joins In denouncing It as PAY
TALLY had and entirely inefficient"
Hence he denies that Its backing OF the
Bliss party Is such an authority as Re
publlcans ought to respect. He also says
a word In Justification Of bossism. The
secret OF his a%ntagonism to the regular
Organization men IL betrayed when III
says that they have undertaken to abol
ish leadership. "They might as we'll tr,
to abolish daylight" says Richard Crok'
er's friendly associate.
All Col. Bliss has to say on behalf o,
the regular organization Ia that the Nil
holland movement Is an attempt t
split the Republican party. and tina
Mr.. Platt Is not a New Yorker, ant
should not interfere In New York poll
ties
This is a hard hit for the ex-ouaran
tine Commissioner. 1t is evident that al
the fun is not reserved for the Demo
cratic party.

MERELY An EXAMINATION"
No Investigation Of Mr.. Gray's
Fire Department Charges.
Commissioners Of Accounts Have No
Jurisdiction Over Prices.

IN spite Of the statements made to the
contrary the Commissioners OF Accounts
have not as yet begun an investigation
Of the charges made against the Fire
Department by Reconnaissance Gray.
A fine distinction is drawn between the
Examination and Investigation"
When Commissioned Of Accounts wahle
said yesterday that men had been at
work since Thursday last. he meant that
his examiners were at work making an
examination" As a matter OF fact the
charges made by ex-Fire Commissioner
Gray were only received oficially from
Mayor Gilroy this morning.
In making the 'examina ton OF the
Fire Department accounts. no ~"investi-
CATION" Of any kind will be made by the
examiners into MT. Gray's charges. It
will, in fact. be the usual superficial af-
In pretty nearly every case. that goods
ordered have been delivered. With the
cost OF the supplies and whether Excess
sive prices have been paid they have
nothing to do.
Commissioner of Accounts Owens said
this morning that UP TO the present time
the Department Examiners had received
no particular instruction as to the method
to be pursued. He added, however, that
they might be instructed later to depart
from the ordinary routine. He could no.

"If they find anything wrong" he
added. they will so report, and then we

The reporter pointed out that some OF
the EXPIRE Commissioners charges were
to the effect that excessive prices. had
been paid for supplies. Commissioners
Owens was then asked II his examiners
would look Into that charge or II they
would call on Mr.. Gray for specifications.
He replied that they would not.

the report must be favorable. how are

BLISS CHECKS MILHOLLAND.
There May BE Two Sets of Dele
Ratea to the state Convention.

Joh E. Milholland. having secured the
Endorsement OF ex-senator Plat for his
anti-machine organization Of Republi-
cans. expects his scheme to go through
with a hip hurrah at his Cooper Union
County Convention Friday night. Mr..
Milholland now claims to v the only
real Republican County organization.
and boasts that his delegates will be
recognized by the State Convention.
But Cornelius N. BLISS Committee of
Thirty on Reorganization of the Republi-
can machine appears to be a stumbling
block In the way Of Milholland's ambi-
ton. and one that cannot be overcome
without revo%lutionizing established party
principles.
Mr.. Bliss Committee was appointed
by the regular County Committee, and Is
acting under authority of that Commit
tee. Mr.. Bliss refuses to be superseded
by the fiery young M~ilholland. and will
go right ahead with organization on the
election district plan. 'n"I
The probabilities are that there will be
two County Committees and two sets of
delegates elected to the next State Con-
vention. Republicans think 1t hardly
possible that Plat will carry his spite
against the Union League Gu so far as
to order his State Committee to seat the
so-called anti-machine delegates. D.

THE ELEVATED THIRD TRACK.

Judge 1ngraham's decision in the Ele-
waited Railroad case vas handed down
yesterday. and II seems TO decide both
ways. The Judge holds that the Rail-
road Commission OF 1875 still lives. al
though It has been In a sort Of pro-
longed trance for many years. and still
has authority TO grant the Elevated
Railway Company the privilege Of con-
structine And operating the "~swltchings

Ninth Avenue, and intended for use as

MED an Injunction to restrain the Rail-
way Company from susins the additional

But the Judge add that the methods
OF the Manhattan corporation in stealing
the streets "a illustrated by Its eleventh

sion and the procurement Of Its approval
after the work had been done. proves
that there Is danger OF It's appropriation
Of the whole of Ninth avenue for a

The Mckinley Bill Did II.

To the Editor: .
Right after the Mckinley Tariff bill went into
eject the wages OF workmen Of the mostly highly
protected industries were cut down considerably.
which fact. l think. Is still in the memory OF
everybody: but we were then told by Republicans,
to give the bill a show OF two years or three. and
We would sec how 1T would work. Yes, to-day
We can plainly see how It does work. We had
little cause to complain OF dull business from
1884 to 1883. and II the Democratic party had not
been Interrupted BY the Harrison Administration
which gave US Mckinley law. Sherman law. &C.,
we would now have no stagnation In business
which resulted largely from the enactment Of the
above laws. We certainly would now have a.
good times as during the nrst Administration Of
Grover Cleveland, perhaps better. Having been 4
protectionist at that time. I am now In favor OF
a moderate tarin. which. In my opinion will not
give such enormous profits to employer. but more
