He is Non-Partisan, and VIII Uphold Re-
form.
VIM. L. Strong. since no began his term OF
Mayor Of New York City on Jan. l, has been
living up to his nou-partisan declarations. In
his appointments so far he has recognized both
the Grace and O'Brien Democracy. The In
dependent County organization aud the Ger
man American Reform Union are expected to
come.in for share of the places to be filled after
the power of removal bill is passed. 1t is argued
that without an enlargement of the powers of
the Mayor. Mr.. Strong. whatever may be his
disposition. is as helpless To combat corruption
in the departments as his predecessors i'll Office
have been. 1t is proposed to enact alaw giving
the Mayor power of removal over heads Of
bureaus, and an absolute control Of the Police
Department. The framing of new laws touch
ing these points promises to be as important a
work as any that is likely to come before the
State Legislature, and to bring out as many
conflicting theories.

Southampton, Aug 21.-The American
Lines new steamer st. Louis had an
official trial yesterday and maintained
speed of 22 $40 knots per hour, for over
four hours, carrying the Stars and Stripes

through the English Channel The course
was from Portland Bill to Star Point, q
distance Of fifty-two knots. The st. Louis
made flying start, due west, with the
tide. The time consumed was two hours
twelve minutes, five seconds, sho wing
speed of 23.6 knots. The return trip was
made in two hours, twenty-eight minutes,
thirty-seven seconds, a speed of 81 knots.
The sea was smooth. :

cyclists and all. are lending a helping
hand 10 make the event a success.

the event TO the good and are encouraging
the cyclists, not only with words, but in
the most substantial way.

beautiful articles have been donated 20 the

tributed prizes up to this time are as follows:

WING NAN is ACQUITTED
No Evidence to Show He Fired Lee
Wah's Shop.
Chinese Tobacco wrappers and a
Negro witness Story Were Not
Proof of the Act.

The police court was again the scene OF
a Chinese gathering, when Wing wah who
keeps a laundry at the corner of Fourth
and A streets northeast, was tried for an
alleged attempt to burn the cut-rate laun-
dry or his cousin, Lee Wah, who does busi-
ness at No. 401 A street, just opposite.
Since the cases which caiue up in the
court a couple OF weeks ago were disposed
OF there has been an increasing war be-
tween the union and cut-rate iaundryinen,
and it was suspicioned that the fire which
destroyed the laundry OF Lee Wah was OF
incendiary origin and suspicion at once
fastened upon his union rival across the
street.
Before Lee Wah moved into the neigh
patrons were numerous, but when the
cut-rate lalndry was established in such
close proximity, his receipts naturally be-
gan TO dw!ndle. The bad blood thus
established has been boiling ever since,
and il was tue opinion of Precinct De-
tective Brown, who worked up the case,
that ii was responsible for the fire.
Lawyer Moulton represented the de-
fendant and entered plea of not guilty.
A milk can, which had contained coal oil,
and an old, half-burned satchel, con-
taining some newspapers and Chinese
tobacco wrappers, were produced and
the government unsuccessfully tried 10
prove that they belonged TO Wing Nan
Charles Shedrich was the only witness
for the government who gave any direct
testimony as TO the alleged arson, and ne
stated that on Monday about five minutes
before the fire was discovered, he saw
Wing Nan leave the basement OF Lee
Wah's laundry and so across The street
to his own place.
Crossexamined, the witness said that
he did not see Wing until he had reached
the middle of the street. None of the
Cinnamon could say where the tobacco
wrappers, found in the satcael, came from.
and Wing Nan denied all knowledge OF
them.
Judge Mills said that there was TO testi-
mony that connected the defendant with
the fire. except tSat of the oolorcd man.
which he dscredited, as it was contra
dctory. He did mot think he had any
thing on which to hold him, and he was
accordingly dismissed.
