SAVE THE PLAZA.

Today's meeting OF the Brooklyn Bridge tr7ls-
tees will be OF special interest and Importance
os at least two subjects OF moment are 70 DE
CON sdcred One Of them Is the use or eiec-
trlcIty for traction purposes the other Is the
nroposed surrender Of a part OF the plaza along
side of the Brooklyn station to trolley raiiroad
comnonv Negative action In the second Is as
desirable as affirmative action in the first. Ihis
nlazo has been provided at large cost by the
city Of Brooklyn. in order that decent and IN
some sense suitable approach to the Bridge
might be had. Already the elevated railroad
companies have been permitted to run across
and around IT, so as seriously to impair Its Use
fulness and destroy It's attractlveness almost
wholly. This should not have been permitted,
but II Is now too late to remedy 1t. 1t Is not 100
late TO prevent the further invasion OF the plaza
and to maintain the sembance OF an adequate
approach to the new station; and the members
of the Board Of Trustees will assume grave
responsibility If they yield to even part or the
demands of the Brooklyn Heights Company
We recognize the Importance of bringing troll
ley-car passengers reasonably close to me
Bridge. but II has been shown more than once
that this can be done without trenching on the
plaza Although Overshadowed by elevated rail-
road tracks and bridges, what remains OF the
plaza is decidedly well worth preserving. though
at present it is so cluered with materials FOR the
Bridge station that no fair idea Of 1t can be OBJ
tanned. 1t will be an outrage upon the rights or
the people Of Brooklyn, who have invested
S1.OOO.OOO in this plaza II it is given over in part
TO a trolley company willing to pay the paltry
rental of 81 900 year. They might as well be
asked to permit trolleycar stand in City Han
Square or Prospect Park. II the Brooklyn tr'is-
fees act together they can defeat this scheme.

Attorney General Hancock has rendered an
other valuable public service in giving to the
voters an official resume Of the new ballot law.
This abstract which will he found in another
column, is just what is needed by every election
officer. and every voter ought to make himself
familiar with ii. There is good deal Of talk
about the confusing effects Of this new statute,
and some Of the politicians speak dolefully about
the loss Of votes to the Republican party that 1t
will entail. We do not share this belief. There
is nothing in the requirements OF the new law
with which any voter cannot easily familiarlze
himself In short time. The campaign man
ayers should see TO It that the Attorney Generals
circular, or synopsis of 1t, Is placed in the
hands Of all voters. In connection with this
matter. we would call attention to the fac simile
of the blanket ballot. which fills nearly page in
today's issue of this paper.

It would require considerable proof to make
any fair-mnded person believe the story set
ahoat TO the effect that the Republicans were
preparing to coonize New-Jersey with Illegal
voters on Election Day. The rumor was
started at a meeting OF the Democratic state
Committee in Jersey City. and Its reputed
author is Coone' f. Livingston Price. gentle
man who used to oil the Democratic machine
when 1t transactng the public business 1t is
true that there has been a great deal of coloniz-
ing across the Hudson River and that the poll
lists have been loaded up with the names of the
dead and the absent whose places were kindly
filled by others; but the only connection the Re-
publican party ever had with these transactions
was in exposing them.

to stand by Coggeshall have been turned from
him by his angling for Democratic votes. and

Mr. Weaver A special dispatch from Utica
notes that while Coggcshall's name will 90 on
the blanket ballot in the regular Democratic col

the candidates Of The reform organizations and
thus Democrats in Oneida will be subjected to
very little trouble in voting against the renegade
Republican who is now seeking the aid OF the
men he has hitherto roundly denounced.

Mayor Schieren. as was 10 be expected. has
promised to do all he can to the election OF
Mr. Wurster as his successor. He will make
speeches in various parts OF Brooklyn and preside
at Republican meetings. The election OF Mr.
Wurster means a continuance OF the present ad.

influence Of the present administration should b
employed to bring about that result.

There have been heavy rains along the Atlantic
coast during the last two days. which cannot fail
TO do vast amount Of good. September passed
without the customary drenchng storm whether
we call ii the "equinOctial' or something else
makes no difference-and its absence was Sc
verely felt. there had been many weeks Of
excessive drouth over much of the country The
fields have been parched. the roads full Of dust.
and in some places wells have run perilously
low and reservoirs gone empty. The rain which
has just fallen will relieve anxiety in the East
that winter might set in leaving streams and
ponds untitled. In New-England the storm
proved especially severe. but not enough so TO
cause any serious damage

The inconveniences and nuisances attending the
reconstruction Of the New-York Bridge station
were never more manifest than during the heavy
rains on Saturday and yesterday. Fortunately
something in the way OF protection of passengers
has been furnished in roof coverings over the
platforms on which passengers enter and leave
trains but the protection is inadequate. 1t is pos
sbe that the Bridge authorities are doing the
best they can but II is hard for regular travellers

1t is LabCucheres opinion that great vigilance
Is required Of the British man when he meets
the American man in any Of the contests OF d.
plomacy or trade or sport. and 1t is perhaps true.
But his implication that the reason for this is
that some unfair advantage Is always likely to
be taken OF the former is absurd. In the first
OF these exercises England has been the most
overreaching Power that ever existed. the ex
orbtancy OF her pretensions and exactions cor
responding with the weakness OF the State she
was dealing with. In trade she has been equally
domineering and monopolizing all over the world;
in sport her only important international con-
tests have been with us. and she has generally
but not always been whipped. Mr. Labouchere
has too much good sense to affirm that there has
ever been anything unsportsmanlike on our side
In our contests with ner. He knows better In
the long competition for the yachting cup ex-
tending over nearly fifty years the Americans

manner given them every consideration they
could ask lived up to every possible require
ment OF the sport and beaten them every time.

BOLD ATTEMPT AT BANK ROB
Berry.

BUTTE, Mont, June IA desperate
but unsuccessful attempt was made
this afternoon by a lone robber to rob
the Silver Bow National Bank. The
man, who refuses to give his name, and
who has nothing on his person to iden-
tify him, walked to the bank when no
one was in but a young clerk named
Will Thomas, and calling him to the
cashiers window levelled a revolver at
him and demanded the cash. Thomas
instantly stepped down behind the
counter, and Selling a revolver, began
firing into the room, and the robber
ran out of the bank. Officer Ingraham
arrived in time to see the robber run
down the street, and to give chase.
The'robber turned and fired three times
at Ingraham, one shot passing through
his coat. but none of the others taking
effect. The officer replied, but the shots
failed to take effect, and the robber
finally ran down an alley, and was
overtaken and arrested He is about
forty years of age, and has the appear
ance of a professional robber. Silver
Bow Bank is situated on the corner of
Main and Granite streets, the principal
thOroughfares of the town, which are
constantly crowded with people. For
a time the bullets were flying thick
and fast but no n was hit.

LITTLE ALEX. GIFTS THAR.

After the ad adjournment of the last
General Assembly little Alex. Stronach,
who was defeated by Jim Young, COL,
for a seat in the House, was employed
by Secretary of State Coke to index
the laws. He has spun out this job
until now the State Printer, who could
not print the laws without the index,
has been delayed beyond the time fixed
by law for their publication and is be-
ing advertised as delinquent in duty
and subject to a fine of $50 per day,
etc. The State Printer is not to blame;
the copy has not been furnished to him
In time. This is not the worst feature
OF it, though. On last Friday little
Alex. presented to the State Treasury

IMPRISONED IN GERMANY.
An American Citizen Threatened With
Military Service.

BATH, N. Y, June 11.-Davis R1ths
child, a leading business man of Bath,
has received a letter from his brother,
Morris Rothschild, who went to Ger.
many last month, stating that an at
tempt was made to force him into the
German army.
He reached his fathers house at Fish
titten the latter part of last May. After
being there one week a policeman
called and told him he was wanted at
police headquarters at Freyburg, about
twelve miles distant. He accompanied
the officer there, was put into prison
and kept there fOrty eight hours, despite
protests that he was a citizen Of the
United States and offers of his passport
and naturalization papers in proof. At
the end of two days he was brought be-
fore a military court and examined and
found to be eligible for service In the
German army.
HIS papers were taken from him and
he was sentenced TO six weeksin prison
al the end of which time be must be-
gin a three year term in the army.
David Greismar, Of New York, who
accompanied Mr.. Rothschild, employed
a lawyer and they laid the facts of the
case before the military authorities
with the result that the sentence was
changed to a fine of 800 marks and the
papers were forwarded to the War De
partment at Berlin, which will decide
whether Mr.. Rothschild shall serve his
army term.
Mr.. RothechiId paid the fine, and,
pending the decision of the War De
partment, he has gone i've to Switzer-
land, where he now is,
Davis Rothschild will communicate
at once with the State Department at
Washington in regard to the matter.
One of the papers taken from MI.
Rothschild and forwarded to Berlin
was a regular passport of the United
States, bearing the signature OF Score
tarV Gresham.
