Mr.. Roosevelts vigorous Words.

NEW YORK. May 1O.-If Mayor Strong
and the legislature at Albany heed the
formal expression of opinion of the police
board on the Ainsworth supplementary
police bill, that measure will not become
law. The bill was passed by the leSisla-
ture on Wednesday. and came before the
mayor for his approval today. The police
commissioners were invited to state their
views of the bill to the mayor.
At a meeting of the board today presi-
dent Roosevelt said: This bill takes away
from the commission all power of trying
cases OF charges against members of the
force and intrusts it to the superintendent
md to a local board convened by him
The board of police hereby resolve that
they Will appear in a body before the
mayor to protest against this legislation as
thoroughly vicious and thoroughly unwise.
Il AXE the opportunity to state that If
It had been planned to demoraiize the force
or work evil to New York city, it could
not have been more to the purpose IL
practically would reduce the board to a
nullity. In short, the bill is in the interest
of all that Is bad In the old system. adding
much that Is worse. Tho beard of itself
will give the superintendent proper disrip-
lii AIRY powers; but it must be done in the
proper way"
The other members of the board coincide
with the Views of Mr. Roosevelt

Gossip in Regard to His Published In
tervicw-No Successor Selected.
There was considerable talk about the
Navy Department today of a published
interview with Admiral Meade criticising
the administration. Criticism of superior
officer is an offense according to the naval
regulations, and the Secretary of the Navy
and the President, against whom the re-
marks of Admiral Meade were directed, are
his superior officers.
1t is possible that the President and Sec
rotary Herbert may pay no attention TO
the utterances, but inaSEuch as court
martial has been ordered on charges pre-
ferred by Admiral Meade against surgeon
in the navy for giving certain matter TO
the press. It may be that the admiraIS APP
parent violation of the naval regulations
will be presented to the attention or the
department by officers of the navy who
are especially interested in Surgeon kersch-
ner.
Secretary Herbert said today that he had
not yet selected a successor to Admiral
Meade in command of the North Atlantic
squadron, but minated that he might do
in short time.

for this command. and will probably be ac-
commodated. in which event Capt. r. D.
Evans. now commanding the New York,

published criticisms on the administration
were considered at todays cabinet meeting,
and it is not unlikely that a court-martial

ON THE WAY TO MEMPHIS.
Incidents During the Trip of the Local
Militia.

STAFF rrsponlcncc of The Evening Star
SPARTANBURG, S. c., May 1O.-The
train which bore away the National Fen
cibles and the Morton Cadets last evening
from Washington and hundred cheering
friends. is moving steadily onward toward
Memphis this afternoon.
But TWO disaEreeable incidents have oc-
Cured one being that Capt Shilling of
the MOrtons left behind at Danville
this morning. and the other a badly mash
ed finger the right hand of a first four
Fencible, which may possibly result in u
change in the personnel of the cham
pions team.
Capt. Smiling occupied a berth in the
Asheviile sleeper. which detached from
the Memphis train at Danville. Before
the commanding officer of the Morton
could change ears his company and his

DanVille late this afternoon and reaching

the opening exercises at Camp SGholield
Saturday afternoon.
The mashed finger of the Fencible was
dressed by DR.. c. A. Weaver and all is
calm. The soldier lads of both organiZa-

good spirits. The cars are decorated with

Cruelty to Animals.

Judge Kimball Is determined to protect
the poor dumb animals from cruelty at the
hands of inhuman drivers. and during the
trial Of case this morning he gave the
drivers to understand that during the hot
weather the animals suffer as much as
they do. and the whip must be used spar
ingly.
Most of the complaints come from the
vicinity Of the steep hills, where cart and
wagon drivers use their whips freely to
urge the tired animals along. In many
cases this Is the result Of overlooking. and
where the cruelty consists in mere over
loading the owner or contractor, as well
as the driver, Is liable. and in such cases
the prosecution is usually brought against
some one other than the driver. In the
case tried this morning a colored driver.
whose name appeared on the Information
as Huriah JONES' was charged with the
cruel use Of his whip.
Policeman Owens arrested the driver en-
the Florida avenue hill and Judge Kimhall
said he was glad the officers were paying
attention to this matter.
A fine of $40 or thirty days was imposed
and the defendant was unable to pay he
fine,

We're again conspicuous, the volume of
business from that center increasing as
prices improve. 1t is evident from the
character of the trading of the last day

the demand from Europe ceases. AT pres
ent there are no Indications of an early
cessation of this demand. The bond sy.di-
cate being entirely responsible for the
change in the tone of the foreign market
and having placed large blocks of securi-
ties in that market in exchange for gold,
can now be relied upon to redouble its eff
forts in preventing return of such Sc
curitieS and the consequent depletion of
the gold supply.
The market for foreign exchange con-
tinues very weak as the result of continued
offerings of bids drawn against sales Of
stocks and bonds. The days trading in
railway shares was pretty evenly dis
tributed throughout the list, many securi-
ties attracting larger volume of business
than at any time since the resumption of
activity. In this respect Atchison was n

the price up i Il per cent to SIS. The reason
assigned for the buying was that the re-
