PLOT TO DUST STRONG.
An Alleged Political Scheme to Control
 New York City Patronage.

NEW YoRE, March 16.-Tle 6 newest sen. sation in the local political fight is an al' legged scheme of tho Plntt- Lexow comhi nation to legislate Mayor Strong out oi office. It was rumored this morning that tho whole fabric of municipal power in New York city was to be shattered at ont blow and the reform administration was to go under by reason of the reviyiflcation of a measure introduced by Senator Lexow two months ago to consolidate the cities of New York and Brooklyn.
 The plan is to kill two birds with one stone, for both Mayor Schieren and Mayor Strong are trying to run nonpartisan ad ministrations.
 Those who take stock in tho new idea of ousting Mayor Strong have gone so far, it is said, as to openly advocate tho prep aration by the commission, of which An. drew II. Green and T. s. T. Stranahan are members, of n charter which would remove from office all the present officials or any who might hereafter be appointed by the respective mayors, Tho legislature might then adjourn until July. rcconvene, ratity the charter so prepared and order now election to bo held in November, which would place in office mayor and other officials of tho Greater New York.

Cruisers to Stop at Havana.

Secretary Herbert has done all that he thinks is necessary or possible for him to do in ordering tho New York and Column bia to stop at Havana on their way to the West Indies, whcro they had already becn ordered, and as Secretary Gresham has apparcntly gone to tho extent of his au- thority in demanding prompt apology 1t Is fair to assume that the incident will re- main in statu quo until n reply has been received from tho Spanish government.
 There arc various methods by which the apology of Spain could bo made the most popular ono being the saluting of the flag of the United States and a written apology to tho government for having insultod 1t. An apology. however. does not mean with Spain promise not to repeat the insult, and it is the opinion of officials here that a display of naval force in Cuban waters would do moro to compel the Spanish gov ernment to treat American vessels on the high seas with respect than any diplomatic correspondence, however pointed and wig orous.
 It is the opinion of naval officers that so long as the question of Cuban annexa- tion is agitated Spain will continue to hate America and to insult her flag at every opportunity. knowing that the only pun ishment which she could be made to suffer would be the necessity of apologizing, which costs her nothing, not even the loss of self respect. It Is tho opinion of the sec retary of the navy, however that 0 con- centration of vessels near Cuba Is not now necessary or feasible, and unless this belief shall be changed by subsequent develop ments in the pending controversy no fur ther naval orders will be issued at present.

A POINTER!

There are 8 great many merchants in these United States that misrepreseut goods and get transient trade for awhile; but they soon play out and clear out. There Is only one way to do business; do it right. Advertise your goods. but ad- vertise them as they are. Do not state un- truths in order to pull in" few custo- mers.
 This is good. wholesome advice and as true as gospel. It is 8 great mistake to misrepresent or to over advertise goods. Customers may come. expecting to receive what was announced, with the result of going away disgusted with the barsfaced attempt to deceive.
 It is an absolute essential of a successful business to state facts in your advertise ments. and facts only.
