Bond Issue of $40, 900, 900,

The bonds to be issued next year for the
building of the new public library, new hail
of records and the new bridge over the
Harlem river, will bring the total or bonds
to be issued end sold In 1888 for public
improvements in the present city close to
$4O.OO0.O0O. 1t will be necessary to carry
on some public work In the other bor-
oughs. and the incoming administration
during Its first year in office will have to
sell about double the amount of bonds than
has ever before been placed upon the mar-
ket In any one year, to carry out the i'm
provements already contracted and arrang-
ed for. The city last year sold $2O.UuU.UOU,
and established q new record. 1t therefore
seems certain that the democratic admin
istration will turn its back on its pre-eiec-
ton pledges and repudiate the underground
road and rapid transit. though the blame
undoubtedly will be laid upon the courts
in case the courts will consent to being
made a catspaw for Croker.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK December @, 1897
Though many of the 'jingoes'' and radicals
have teen disappointed by the position as
5umed by the President in his message 10
Congress SO far as the Cuban question is
concerned. on the whole the commercial in
terestS of the city appear to approve the
action taken by the President upon this and
other important questions Of the day Some
Of the leading bankers seem to think that
Mckinney has not been quite positive
enough in his declarations of a policy in
favor Of currency reform. but even in
Wall street it is quite generally Thought
that the President is doing all that could
be done under the. circumstances. and that
measures more decided would fail of pas
sage in the Senate even If forced through
the House of Representatives. There seems
TO be consensus of opinion among bust
ness men that the present Congress will
fail to take radical steps upon any CT
the important questions of the day-Hawa;i
alone excepted. Sugar refining interests
and other importers directly interested pro
fess to believe that the annexation of Ha-
wall will! become an accomplished fact be-
fore March next.

Expected Reaction Did Not Come.
The expected reaction from the $1,000
plurality given Mckinley last year only
brought to the front a few democrats, who
were elected on local grounds and because
of personal popularity. 1t Is believed in
New Jersey that President Mckinney has
taken this into consideration and that the
appointment of GrigEs comes as a reward
of merit for republican well doing. The
governorship and the legislature in New
Jersey are regarded as certain for the re-
puhlicans for years to come. And this. too.
in New Jersey, a state which only a few
years ago was figured with New York and
Indiana as being certain for the democrats
in combination with the solid south when
the presidency was at stake.
1t Is generally conceded that Senator
Foster NJ. Voorhees, OF Union county Will
be elected presiding officer OF the state
senate. This will make Mr.. Voorhees, act
ing governor OF New jersey In place of
Griggs. The rise of young voorhees, in local
politics has been remarkably rapid, and his
friends predict his election governor OF
New Jersey at the next election. This they
figure will make him vice presidential
Candidate, or even presidential posi-
bility.
The prediction In this correspondence that
Croker and the Manhattan railroad people
would use the debt limit of the greater city
as club to Kill OF rapid transit and the
underground road has attracted consider
able attention in political and financial cir

ONE DEAD OTHER DYING.
Abram Ernestus Fatality Assaults Mrs,
Mary Cole, Wiiiimantic, Ct.
Then Hangs timseli-Sh will Probably Die
No Cause is Known.

Willimantic, CT, Jan. Airs. Mary
Cole of a North street, an employe at
the European house, was missing, since
since Friday night. There was no sign
of life around the house, SO the police
broke a window through, this morning,
and entered the building. They found
Mrs. Cole partially sitting on the edge
of her bed, unconscious and with a
deep cash three inches long over her
left ear. 1t was thought at first that
she was under the influence of drug.
but a acloser examination later showed
that her skull was broken. Her con-
dition is precarious.
In the doorway of her room was the
corpse of Abram Ernestus, who board
ed with her. He had hanged himself
with a hemp cord. tied to nail in the
doorway. The nail had pulled out and
when the body was found was in sit
ting posture on the floor.
Mrs. Cole is 80 years old and was
separated from her husband. Ernestus
was As years old and married, but he,
too, had left his family. He had been
employed at the Natchaug Silk Com
pany, but had been out of work Tor
several months.
1t is supposed that Ernestus first
struck the woman with some sharp in
strument and then committed suicide.

UNUSUAL NAVAL ACTIVITY.
Mare Island Yard the Scene Of Mere Life Than
for Years.

Vallejo. Cal. Jan. 4.-There are evil
dences of unusual activity at the Mare
Island navy yard. One of the best in
dications that something is doing" by
the powers at Washington. is the ap-
preparation of large sums of money to
man the ships and increase the fight
ing forces. Many awards of contracts
have been made at Washington for
supplies, for repairs on the warships
and buildings at Mare Island. Thirty
thousand gallons of sperm and lubri
eating oils have lately been received at
the navy yard.
1t is believed that the supplies being
received are evidence of a sudden de-
termination to give some of the new
idle cruisers and men-of-war some
thing to do. The Baltimore and
Charleston can be made ready for sea
within q few weeks. The Petrol is TAX
ing on coal and provisions, and is eX-
pected to go to sea the latter part of
the week. The Adams is to be docked
at once. In short time it will return
to San Francisco as training ship.
