BOARD OF PUBLIC WoRKs.

Matters of Routine Business Complaints
at Slowness of Contractors.
The board of public works last even
bridges as to the status Of the new
Grand avenue drawbridge. There had
been many communications to the
members of the board complaining Of
the slow progress the contractor is
making toward the completion Of the
bridge. The order of the government
stipulates that the bridge be completed
by December 81, 1896. The matter was
referred to the committee to inquire
into.
Ex-Commissioner of Public Works r.
H. Brown asked the board for relief
from the condition of Ashmun street.
The contractor for brick paving, j. E.
Miles, has the whole length Of the
street to Gregory street torn UP and
nothing was being done. He had COM
municated with members of the board
of public works. No relief had been
granted. 1t was stated that the con-
tractor had offered as an excuse that
were incompetent because of the order
of the court of common council, which
would allow only residents of New Ha-
ven employed.
1t was stated that the contractor had
a job In Stamford for the Consolidated
road that he wished to complete. The
board voted to visit Ashmun street and
consult with Mr.. Miles, the contractor.
The attention of the board was called
to the condition of Saltonstall avenue.
The communication stated that docks
and other obnoxious plants were grow
ing in the sidewalks and in the center
of the street. The matter was referred
to the committee on streets.
The superintendent of streets was di-
rected to cause a sidewalk to be placed
on Lilac street on the property of Mrs.
Casper. The work will cost about SITS.
Several communications were receiv-
ed from the court of common council
in reference to the unexpended balance
of money appropriated to the several
departments in the jurisdiction Of the
board.
Curtis F. Evarts and Frank c. Bush
nell, members of the harbor commits
sion, were before the board in behalf
of a new bridge in the place of the
present Chapel street drawbridge. Both
gentlemen claimed that the bridge was
not wide enough to allow many of the
large craft to pass through The board
voted to visit the bridge and accepted
Mr. Evarts' offer to ride through the
draw on one of the tugs OF his line.

LONDON PRESS COMMENT.
Defeat of Bryan Victory for Real BIZ
metallism.

heIaIlsms
London, Nov. 4.-The Bimetallic
league of Great Britain ds about to
issue pronouncement setting forth
the claim that the election of McKin-
ley to the presidency is a victory for
international bimetallism. quoting in
support Of this contention from the
monetary plank of the republican con-
vention at st. Louis, concluding with a
pledge to promote an International
agreement for a bimetallic standard
among the commercial nations of the
world.
The election of Mckinley has given a
great impetus to trade in the wool and
clothing districts of Bradford and
Yorkshire. American dealers cabled
large orders and the prices of raw and
| manufactured materials are advanc-
ing.
| The Star, in an article under the
caption "The United States Repudiates
Currency Juggling" says: 1T is cred
liable to the American democracy that
they fastened upon the paramount is
sue, disregarding all Others"
The St James says: Behind the
silver movement there was an undoubt-
ed feeling of discomfort with the es-
tablished order of things, which is
likely to become more desperate through
defeat. Indeed, it looks more like the
beginning of a great social and econ
omic struggle than the end"
The Pail Mall Gazette says: ''The
decision OF the American electors will
be universally accepted as most credit
able and implies that the democracy
when confronted with vital issues will
rally on reality and repudiate shame"
The Globe says: From an outside
standpoint, the most satisfactory thing
is the crushing blow which the result
strikes the cause Of contiscation the
world over
The Westminster Gazette in leader
headed, 1.-THE Great Scare of Civil
lied People," says: Whatever its
grievances it will not accept repudia-
ton" The Gazette advises Mr.. Nc
Kinley to let the tariff alone.

The people of the United States

Gods teaching and to follow, with sim
full pride after their own devices.
To the end that these thoughts may
be quickened. it is fitting that, on al

DEIA VAR E.

Wilmington, Del, Nov Al. G. Shaw,
one of the Mckinley candidates for cleo
tor, was on both the republican and
union republican ticket. On the union
ticket in Newcastle county "senior" was
added to his name. Many of the cleo
tion officers gave ]. G. Shaw the votes.
Others kept a tally for both names and
so made returns, To what extent this
has been done cannot develop until
the official count on Tuesday. Then
much will depend on the action Of the
board of canvass. If the intent of the
voters is to be taken Shaw will be given
the entire vote, but, if an attempt is
made to show that two men were really
voted for it may result in losing one
vote for Mckinley.
