BoARD OF PUBLIC WoRKS.
Estimates for the Year Considered by the
 Board of Finance

IbtlmateB TOT the leaf considered by the
 Board of Finance
 The members of the harbor commits sion and the property owners in the vicinity of Mill river are in favor of replacing the bridge over the river at Chapel street with new one. Curtis F. Evarts and Frank C. Bushnell were present at the meeting of the board of public works, urging the matter. They say that the harbor, to which the river is an entrance, is almost as large as the harbor at Bridgeport. J. K. Punder- ford of the Fair Haven and Westville Street Railway company favored the bridge.
 Engineer Kelley said the bridge was unsafe. The street springling company was running twenty ton cars over the bridge. Eight tons was the most that should be run over the bridge
 About twenty petitioners supported the harbor commissioners. The street will be closed during most of the year. because of the building of the railroad bridge It would cost about S15O00C according to the estimates of Engineer Kelley.
 
 reference to the westerly span of the Tomlinson bridge, nor the Edgewood avenue bridge The board adjourned and went before the finance committee to urge the appropriation for the ensu- ing year.
 The salaries of officers are left about as they were last year. Alderman Rourke asked why there should be an appropriation for salary for a superin- tendent of streets when there was no man filling the position.
 Commissioner States replied that one would be appointed.
 The total contingent fund the com inissioners urged should not be cut as there had been en excess of $500 over the appropriation made last year. The board asked for $7,70O for hardening Of streets. This appropriation President Macdonald of the board of aldermen supported, saying that the estimate Of the board would be an investment that would increase the grand list cf the town and would increase the tax list but 1h mills.
 The board was in session until II o'clock considering the needs of the public works department A few min- utes before adjournment, President Walker of the board of fire commission CTS, asked that $1, 200 additional be made to the fire estimate for the pur- pose Of building and equipping an en- zine house in the Eleventh ward

The Prince and the Squadron.

The flying squadron lies off the Isle
of Wight awaiting orders for the dress
parade that was to have been viewed
by the queen. Doubtless the sailors
must wait until proper recognition is
taken of the death of Prince Henry of
Battenberg. whose death is announced.
In England, sport was made of
the mission to Ashantee with which
Prince Henry was entrusted 1t proved
an ill-omened trip. His fate was not
as harsh as that which overlook the
surviving child of Napoleon the Third,
who persisted miserably at the hands
of the Zulus. yet the English are loyal
to royalty and, now that he is dead. the
jests that they passed at the expense
of the husband of Queen Victoria's
youngest daughter will all be taken
back. and the death of the prince will
be mourned. 10
What most concerns the public, es-
pecially outside of England. is the ul-
Innate destination of the flying squad
ron. On that score gossip has been
rife. One theory is that the fleet is to
sail for the Bermudas That seems
highly improbable; such instructions
would not be issued except with the
intent to do a graceless act and
awaken in the United States a senti-
ment of resentment. If the subject in
terests you. turn TO an atlas and you
will see that the Bermudas, out in
the Atlantic, have the sweep of our
Atlantic coast. The distance to New
York is about eight hundred miles;
II is practically the same 10 Philadel-
phia. and not much greater to Balti-
more or Boston or Charleston.
An English fleet stationed at the
Bermudas would be regarded as
menace; IL is highly improbable that
the British admiralty has that station
in view as the destination for the fly
ing squadron. Meanwhile all guess
ing will probably be at pause and the
fleet await orders until royalty has
paid its tribute TO the memory of the
prince who died at sea.

\ Famous Cartoon.

The death of Bernard Gillian recalls
what stands perhaps as the most
famous cartoon i'm history. 1t was inst
before the national republican conven-
ton of 1884, that Gillian. who was then
one Of the artists Of Puck. drew a
double page cartoon one figure in which
was James C. Blaine represented as n
tattooed man. Blaine writhed under
the attack, and was so indiscreet as to
let his feelings be known, whereupon
Puck kept him before the public all
summer as tattooed man, ringing the
changes on the "Mulhgan letters Q"
"Guano craftsmanship" and the like
which words were represented 10
pricked into Blaine's skin, together
with innumerable scrolls and fourishes
II was believed at the time. and Is To-
day, that this style of attack had much
10 do with Blaine's defeat.
The history OF the evolution Of this
cartoon is interesting. The idea OF the
original picture was suggested by one
of the editors of Puck. himself NOT an
artist. He wanted a picture presenting
all the leading presidential candidates
OF 1884 posing as freaks in a dime muse
UNI. Gillian was requested to make the
picture. and he drew a rough sketch
representing Blaine as an Indian war
rior or something of the kind. one OF
the smaller and inferior figures was a
tattooed man, and when Gillian suh-
mitted his sketch TO the editors he said
he thought he would call the tattooed
man David Davis. Mr. Schwarzmann.
the publisher Of Puck, objected on the
ground that David Davis was too clean
and honorable a man to merit such
savage assault. and the tattooed man
was about TO be wiped out altogether
when one of the editors jokingly re-
marked that the tattooing might be
given 10 Blaine. The suggestion pleased
Mr.. Schwarzmann and was Immediately
acted upon. The rest is history. An
other cartoon followed shortly called

In our opinion, Senator Sewells anti
Monroe-doctrine proposition is out of
joint with the times and out of har-
mony with the position which it is the
manifest wish of the American people
10 assume with relation to the territory
of North and South America The no
tions advanced by the senator are un-
sound. the airing of them in the federal
senate is untimey. He puts limitations
on the Monroe doctrine which are a
misfit; his assumptions are not logical.
Nevertheless, Senator Sewell has a
following. Senator Wolcott supported
him yesterday in a senate speech.
