4 FOOLISH PAMPHLET.
Comments of the London Telegraph on
 Lord Sackville.

London, Oct 1.-The Telegraph in an article commenting upon Lord Sack vilIes issuance of the pamphlet in which he makes an attack upon United States Ambassador Bayard says:
 "A very foolish, ill-mannered, ill., timed and ill-made pamphlet has been issued by Lord Sackville with the pur- pose of injuring the reputation of MT. Bayard now the United States ambas- sador, charging him with being polit- ical triekster and a consistent and de- termined enemy of England. The whole thing is so full of thoughtless bitterness that it is not worth while to reproduce any part of the brochure. We onlW hope that common sense and judgment of the English and American public will disdain Those concerned with diplomat- ic history will be the first to assure MT. Bayard that no effect is likely to be pro- duced by such a series of charges, SO utterly unworthy of attention or cons sideration.''
 During his sojourn Mir. Bayard has earned golden opinion for his urbanity and keen judgment and, above all, has made studious efforts to cultivate amic- able feeling between England and America. Through him the English are learning a fuller appreciation of and a higher admiration for the great re- public.

PUBLIC WHARF FAVORED
HARBoR COMMISSIONERS ADP0-
 CATE THE PLAN LAST NIGHT.

Want It Located at Water Street Park
 Important Meeting of Park Commission
 CTS Last Night-Improvements Made in
 the Several Local Parks.
 The meeting of the park commission in the mayors office last evening was one of the most important of the year and considerable business was trans acted. A proposition for the establish ment of a public wharf at the foot of Water street park was presented and strongly advocated by Harbor Con- missioners F. c. Bushnell and G. B, Martin.
 The commissioners had with them a map of the locality, which they spread out before the park commissioners and demonstrated from it their plan for a wharf. The plan is to have the wharf located at the southeastern part of the park, which woul be easily accessible by means of driveway extending around the park, The commissioners argued that the establishment of pub lie wharf would not only afford facili- ties for the landing of steamers and other large vessels, but that it would prove an addition to the park itself and
 be of fncalculable value in advancing
 the commercial interests of the city.
 After discussing the proposition at considerable length it was voted to re- fer it to the special committee on the Tot tN the committee to Inquire and report to a future meeting of the park commits sion.
 Interesting reports from the commit tees on the several parks of the city
 were presented A vast deal of work has been done on the parks under the supervision of the commission and at no time since they have been establish ed have they been in as fine condition
 as at the present time. On the new
 Quinnipiac drive over 2.O0O feet of road way has been completed, and the drive is now one of the best in the city's park system. Although the work is not yet completed, work will soon have to be suspended, as the appropriation is near I ly exhausted.
 On the new summit drive at West Rock park 1000 feet have been complet- ed to the cliff and will be opened early next season. At Bay View park all the unsightly houses will be removed and | the Malone house has already been re- | moved, thus opening up fine view down the park and off to the water.
 NEW QUINNIPIAC DRAWBRIDGE The joint committee on bridges. of the | city and town held a meeting in the | city hall last evening and discussed the plans for the new drawbridge ordered | by the United States government to be erected across the Quinnipiac river at | Grand avenue The town was repre- scented by Selectmen Stahl, Ludington and Forbes, and the city by Commis- sioners Johnson, Bishop and City En- | gineen Kelly.
 l The plans. of the new bridge, which must be completed and opened to traf- l fic by December 31, 1896, were informal I ly discussed and finally the city engin-
 eer was authorized to secure assistance,
 should he so desire, in preparing the , plans and specifications for the new
 bridge. These plans must be submitted
 to and approved by the authorities at Washington before the work of con-
 struction can be commenced.

DUTIES OF CITIZENS.
Cannot Organize in the Defense of Cuba's
 Liberty

Washington, Oct. 11.-Tnuuiries by mail and telegraph have been received in considerable number of late at the department of justice as to whether it is violation of the laws of the United States for American citizens to express sympathy for the Cuban insurgents in public meetings, and to aid in fitting out expeditions to help them. One of the most recent is from MT. Watkins of Albany, N. Y. In reply to it Attorney General Harmon has sent the following letter, which represents the views of the administration on the subject:
 Sir: For some reason your letter of September 26 did not reach me until to- day. I hasten to say in reply that the organization of a military force of any sort in the United States maid of the insurrection in Cuba would be in direct violation of section 5,S26 of the revised statutes, which provides for a fine not exceeding $3000 and imprisonment for not more than three years for every person who in any way takes part in SUCH ShptutIlO1 OI tlllSIpIlSe to DS EdI- ried on from there against any prince, state, etc.
 As the United States are not only at peace with Spain, but have with her a treaty whereby the extradition of pris- oners and many other benefits are se- cured, it behooves all Americans who have respect for the laws and obliga- tions of their country and regard for its honor to observe this law in spirit as well as in letter, to be neutral in word as well as in deed. While there is no law to prevent American citizens from speaking their sentiments on any sub ject singly or together. taking such ac- ton as you mention in your letter would not in my judgment be discourteous in the lightest degree to friendly power and tend to embarrass and obstruct the government in carrying out its deter imitation faithfully to execute the laws and fulfil it's treaty obligations"

The retirement of Editor Small.

Announcement is made that Mr. SmalPs
connection with the Norfolk Pilot has
been severed
We trust that the Pilot, under its new
manager. will make haste to retract ana
apologize for the charges against Mr..
Massey and the other members of the
Board Of Education that have been made
through its columns: also, that we shah
see no more Of its oauseless demand
upon Governor O'Ferrall to cancel the
contract"
There never was. in our opinion, any
ground for the charges made by the ri,
lot in the matter of the school-book con-
tracts. At any rate. the Pilot has never
been able to produce any proof to sustain
its charges. Every allegation made by it
going to show that the people Of Vir-
ginia pay more for their books than
other people do. or that the book compa.
MES have done anything that is wrong,
has been squarely met and fully answer
ed by the statements published under
the signatures OF the Governor and At
torney-Genefal.
We repeat, the Pilot has never been
able to make good its charges, and we
believe never will be. II has done gross
injustice to worthy gentlemen, and to
reinstate itself in public favor 1t ought
to admit Its errors and make atonement
for them as far as possible.
The sort Of journalism which Mr.. Small
has tried at Norfolk has never been
popular in Virginia. 1t can never -four
ish on our soil. 1t never ought to.
