The sensation in municipal circles
yesterday was the resignation of FIRE
and Police Commissioner Stephens ana
the subsequent appointment of Hon.
Chas. S. Varian, the well known attor-
ney, to fill the vacancy
1t has been rumored for several days
past that something unexpected might
be looked for, but it was not generally
regarded as on par with other ru-
was in connection with the fire and
police department of late. Many even
failed to credit the news as genuine,
but although somewhat of a surprise
it is nevertheless true.
Mayor Glendinning yesterday re-
ceived a letter from Commissioner
Stephens, who has been spending the
past two weeks in Los Angeles, Cal,
In which he tenders his resignation as
member OF the fire and police board
The letter gives no reason why such
action is taken, but it is generally be-
lieVed to be on account of business
interests which require his attention
away from the city Undoubtedly the
present condition of affairs in the de-
partment has much to do with it. Mat
tiers of great Importance require the
attention of the board, but on account
of the absence of members from the
city it has been impossible to secure
a quorum for some weeks past.
Immediately upon the receipt of
Commissioner Stevens resignation,
Mayor Glendinniag appointed C. S.
Varian to the vacancy Mr.. Varian is
TOO prominently known to need any
special mention. He possesses the
qualities that are essential to such a
position. and should he except which
he undoubtedly will, the board will
soon get down to business.
A special meeting will probably be
called for the purpose of considering
the charges against Chief Devine.
While they have not been filed yet
with the board. it is understood the
mayor has awaited the arrival of suf-
fcient members of the board to make
up a quorum when the matter could
be given prompt consideration.
Commissioners Cohn is still in New
York City. and according to his asso-
ciates. will not return for two weeks

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-Arthur E.
Newsam, the former British magis-
trate of Cedros, Trinidad, who was
arrested in Brooylyn on July II last,
charged with having embezzled about
10000 belonging to the British gov
eminent. has been acquitted. after
two trials, and has been set. at lib
erty. This information has just been
received here by a New York mer-
chart in a cablegram from Trinidad.
The first trial resulted in disagree
ment Of the jury and the second re
suIted in a complete vindication for
Newsam. 1t is said that the trial
showed that Newsam's only fault had
been carelessness in not watching his
subordinates closely. They, it is said,
had been stealing from the funds for
three years. His first assistant was
found dead on the day Newsam was
taken, back to Trinidad. but the cause
of death was not determined.
Newsam was extradited last NOvem-
Der, after a hard fight
