POLICE FORCE DEMORALIZED
Moses Guunst Gives His Impression of the
Blue Coats of Gotham.
FEELING OF UNCERTAINTY PREVAILS
Personally They Are the Finest Looking
Lot of Men In the Country-sunday
Closing Carried to tho Extreme In
the Metropolis.

NEW YORK, July 1S-Moses A. Gunst,
one Of San Francisco's police commissioners,
has been stopping in this city for the past
few days Since his arrival here MIR. Gunst
states that he has been so actively engaged
In business affairs that he has had but little
time to devote to another matter in which he
naturally takes a deep interest namely, police
affairs.
Beyond receiving an invitation to sit with
the police commissioners at the regular trials,
an occasional chat with an officer or patrol
man. and such observations Of the police
force he could make in his walks about
town, Mr.. Gunst said that he done nothing
toward his plan of thoroughly inspecting the
department as it is at present.
From what talk | have had with men of
the force" Mr.. Gunst said, IL should Judge
that the New York police force is much de-
moralized. Men with whom i have talked,
and who have regulations as good officers,
are kept on the anxious seat continually as
a result of the methods Of the present admin-
istration. There seems to be a little bright
ening of the outlook, for | understand in a
short while there promises to be a settlement
of affairs in regard to the final disposition OF
captains and other officers.
THE personnel of the force here is better
than in any city between here and San Fran
cisco. The patrolmen are better dressed
and more intelligent looking set of men than
in any of the large cities or the country. 1t
is my intention in a few days to make
thorough inspection of the force throughout
its various Departments"
Mr. Gunst, in reply to a question as to his
opinion on the present action of the police
board in closing the liquor saloons on Sum
day, declared that he thought 1t was very
harmful and in his opinion on last Sunday
thnrn int loot tfnt, Of
city than there would be IN San Francisco,
where all the saloons are wide open and
where "sde DOORS are unknown. He stated
that the result of the action OF the New York
police board must naturally end in the repeal
of what have proven to be very obnoxious
laws and incidentally remarked that next
fall would, without doubt, witness the
turn of Tammany to power in New York City.

PLANNING RIGOROUS CAMPAIGN.
Kentucky Democrats nealze the Necessity
of strenuous Efforts

LOUISVILLE, July 13.-As a result Of the
conference held yesterday between the state
central committee, the democratic nominees
for state offices and prominent democrats
from all parts Of the state, a strong demo-
cratic campaign committee was organized by
the state committee of last year. The campaign
will be an aggressive one and 1t will be
fought out squarely on the platform laid
down by the democratic state convention.
The conference lasted until II o'clock this
morning. The discussion that took place pre-
sented great variety Of opinions as to the
proper policy to be pursued in the campaign.
There was no encouragement for the sugges-
tion to keep the currency question out Of the
campaign The originators Of that plan had
nothing to say for 1t ana It received little
defense from any other quarter. Sound
money men spoke resolutely against any at
tempt to put a false construction on the
money plank in the platform. Senator
Blackburn declared that he proposed to stand
on the platform and to give It his own con
struCton which was that It reafirms only
the platform of 1892.
At an informal meeting OF the campaign
committee the secretary was directed to pro
pose to the republican campaign committee
Joint debate between the candidates for
governor. Headquarters will be opened at
once and the most thorough canvass will be
begun
The result of the democratic conference
held here last night is now generally under
stood to be that there are to be no restric-
tons imposed upon campaign speakers. other
than such support of the platform as their
consciences and judgment dictate. Black
burn declares that II is a victory for free
speech and today at Winchester made a
speech denouncing Carlisles views and the
gold standard papers, and advocating free
coinage at 16 to |, free trade and the abol
tion of national banks Those who have
heretofore favored the gold standard claim
that the platform means a full endorsement
of the policy Of Cleveland and Carlisle and
they will so construe 1t on the stump. The
situation is now just as 1t was before the
convention except that the endorsement of
Cleveland and Carlisle is claimed by the
sound money men to be an endorsement Of
their Interpretation Of the Chicago platform.
Both factions offered to affirm the Chicago
platform, but Blackburn opposed the endorse
ment of the administration.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-In his annual
report to the CHIEF Of engineers on the

Lieutenant Colonel w. II. Benyaurd says
Of the work at San Diego harbor that the
trestle was advanced under the new contract

tion course was laid for 24S feet additional.
During the coming season work VIII be

spur about 300 feet long will lie built
on the channel side and the shore revetment
will be built up and extended. No effects
of jetty extension yet have been noticed
upon the bar depth and none is expected
until the work shall have been extcn1ed some
considerable distance seaward. Some local
scour took place beyond the end OF the
jetty and at points where the depth was five
or six feet and two or three feet there is
now eighteen feet Of water. As the jetty
is extended seward 1t Is expected that
increased scour will occur calling for in
creased quantities Of material for the con-
structon and thereby necessarily increasing
the cost of construction beyond that esti-
mated in the original project. There re-

NEW YORK, July 13-James McNaught

Mr.. ED VAN ACQUITTED
Justice Morrison, After Three Months,
Comes to a Conclusion
7iscemeanor Case In Which Justice
Took Its Time-The Features
of the Affair

Mr.. Ed Van was acquitted on Saturday
by Justice Morrison of the charge of
vagrancy.
At first sight there is nothing very odd
about this. for alleged Migrants who have
resources are often found to be innocent,
and it is within the bounds of POSSIBLE
ity, leaving the more delicate question OF
probability alone, that Mr.. Van is as
pure and moral as any other man who
moves in similar social circles. The GU
rious feature of this case is not whether
MIR. Van is guilty or innocent, for the
verdict of Justice Morrison he's settled
that point, for the time any way. The
odd feature is the long time required by
the justice to come 10 u conscientious
conclusion. 1t has taken hin. nearly
three months to decide this nice case and
set Mr.. Van free. Three months is a long
time for an innocent man to rest under
the charge of, to quote the complaint,
being lewd. idle and dissolute per
SON. but Mr.. Van does not seem to have
made any protest about this procrastina.
ton.
The record shows the following facts
about the case. The complaint was filed
ON the 18TH of last April. Mr.. Van was
arrested on the 25th of the same month,
and was not tried until the 18th of June,
this giving him plenty OF time to prepare
Tor his defense-two months. a little
more than is perhaps customary in mis-
dem eanor cases-btit an error on the side
OF mercy is perhaps eXcusabie. The case
was submitted and for nearly three
mo this has been incubating under ad.
visement. and as has been stated, ended
in Judgment of acquittal. 1t is pre-
sumable that thare were some very nice
points about the evidence for the iugde
would, and could, have settled 1t sooner.
However :he public will be glad to learn
that Mr.. Van is pronounced innocent by
Judge Morrison.
