Albany, n. Y. July sl.-Lieutenant-Governor
Timothy L. Woodruff in Albany this morning
on his way to the Adir ondacks to make personal
examination of large tracts Of land which
have been offered for sale. and concerning which
the Forest Preserve Board will probably take def
mite action at a meeting TO be held in Albany on
August and 6.
The Lieutena at Governor, when asked what were
the real facts concerning the break between Sem
ator Platt and County Clerk Jacob WORTH OF
Brooklyn, said
IL would not be willing to say word on this
subject If II were not for the fact that the most
fragrant Misrepresentation have been made of it,
Tammany Hall and promoters of Bryanism nave
been for the last week engaged In concerted ana
systematic effort to drive a wedge into the solid
ranks of the Republican party, and thus split II
into two factions.
Senator Platt denies having any knowledge. until
it's publication, of the article which II is said MT
Worth thought the Senator had inspired. ana MT
Worth positively made the statement to me that
ne had given out hut one interview on this subject,
although not less than dozen different ones nave
appeared
There Is nothing in the contention between sen
ator Platt and Mr. Worth which will menace he-
publican success No great principle Is Involved as
is the case between the free-silver and souhu-
money factions of the Democracy. Tammany Han
supported the platform of the Chicago Convention
with vgor and enthusiasm. Every one knows. IN

whatever differences of opinion they may now nave
in the city convention"
When will it be held?'

do you expect to take the leadership OF the he-
publican party in Kings County when Mr.. Worth

CLOUDY WEATHER TO BLAME.

INABILITY TO MAKE BLUE PRINTS DECLARED TO
BE THE CAUSE FOR DELAYED BRIDGE
TRANSIT PLANS
The officers Of the Brooklyn elevated and surface
railroads do not wish TO have IL understood that
they have become Indifferent about the project Of
sending their cars the Brooklyn Bridge.
Mr. Rossiter says that neither President Berri nor
any one else is more anxious TO have the agree
n,ent between the Bridge authorities and the rail-
road officials than he is.
The long spell of cloudy weather. he says. has
given no opportunity for the architects to finish
blue prints for the plans. and this is why the
dra wings and specifications have not been ready
before Mr. Rossiter says that everything will be
in readiness for the final conference with the
Bridge Trustees early this week.

The Trials OF Woman OmcehoIdcrs

a curious phase Of the political develop.
ment of woman has just occurred in Ohio.
1t Is here reported from information
furnished by our esteemed contemporary,
the Ciercland Plain Dcaier. "A Republican
campaign sensation" was brought forward
the other night at n meeting of the Four.
tcenth Ward Republican Club. Mrs. ELRoY
NJ. AVERY is Il candidate for denomination
as member Of the Cleveland School Council.
"There has been the ~livclicst possible con.
test in the School Council end Of the ticket"
The possibilities of livelincss are great, and
they have not been left unused in the case
of Mrs. AVERY. Deep and important causes
account for this livelincss.
There was II question Of text books.
Nothing else invites n thousandth part Of
the same agitation. Not everything can be
taught in the schools but the subject Of
the text books In which everything Is
taught, or supposed to he, never fails to
raise immortal strife in school committees 4;
and the accursed money power is said to
take a hand in the proceedings. The advo-
Gates of the text books which fail to re-
ccive official appreciation, seldom forget
To point accusing hands at the money
power. The money power IL at the
bottom Of the calumnics uttered against
Mrs. ELRoY NJ. AVERY and the calam-
tiles endured by her. 1t seems that the
Cleveland Superintendent Of Instruction
had recommended that certain text books
should be used and certain Others laid on
the shelf. There was a great fight in conse-
quenCe. There always Is a great fight
when these high matters ARE discussed.
The School Council approved the Superin.
tcndcnt's recommendation. Mr.. IL. ..
SARGENT, Director OF Schools, vetoed the
same. The council, Mrs, AVERY voting
yea, stood by the Superintendent and
jumped upon the Director.
Terrible excitement. at has been stated
as having come from pretty good authority
that n defeated book concern would place
$4,000 in the campaign, in the hope Of
evening up scores with those whose voices
arose in contradiction to their [itsl wishes"
Thus the money power makes its insolent
entrance into the midst Of things, and
"since the campaign has been really opened
1t has been rumored by Mrs. AvERY's politi.
cal enemies that, at the time the measure
was before the School Council, she accepted
a consideration from another company to
be benefited by the change IL she would
vote as she did" The genial character of
Mrs. AvERY's political enemies is thus
made manifest. Were they mena Were

There are 100 messengers in the various
city departments Of Boston. Clearly the writing
and carrying Of messages are among the chief
occupations OF that town. which thus preserves
In a certain degree its literary character. II
would appear. however, that these dissemination
of knowledge do not get as high wages as could
be desired for Thorn. Some OF them get 81. 700 a
year, which seems TO our esteemed contempt
rary, the Boston journal, "a good salary for
a messenger" 1t does not seem so when
II is compared with the $500 given to a
Boston Common Councilman for contingent ex-
penses and all the mysteries OF sundrics. The
Common Councilman are themselves very full
OF literature; and II they arc allowed to have
$500 a year for pin money. surely the mcssen-
gers ought to have more than 81. 700 a year for
their whole pay. But 100 messengers are q
goodly number for a small city, and show that
the transmission OF conversation is an important
business in Boston.

or even feared, that the right Of . citi-
zen to b~equeath his property to his chill
dren was to be taxed out OF existence.
Mr.. BELMONT evidently thinks that some
damage has been already done by Mr.. ROB
ERTs's proposal, although there is no chance
Of its adoption by the present Legislature.
He expresses the opinion that, whether or
not the Comptroller Of the State Of New
York was conscious Of the socialistic ten
dency Of the theories regarding the sum,
Justification, and methods of taxation
which he has recently urged on the Legisla-
ture, the unfortunate effect may be to in
crease the apprehension which discerning
men here and there have been heard to
avow, the apprehension that the economic
State founded by the wisdom OF the states
men of the Revolutionary epoch, may not
very long survive. There might be some
ground for u an apprehension should
Mr.. RoBERTs's proposal ever be adopted.

Only More CIeyeInudism.

To THE EDITOR OF THE srs-Sir: In reading the
press dispatches in to-day's papers OF the inauguration
at ashington yesterday I was most forcibiy struck by
one. In which Wa stated: "Ex'President Grover Glove
land left the city a little after 3 o'clock on board the
lighthouse tender Maple, which win take him down
the coast and transfer him to tho Violet, another
Government vessel. which will take him on a duck
shooting expedition"
BY what authority has Q citizen OF the United States
the right to use Government vessels for his own ac.
eommodation and pleasure But It may be that IL Is
ono OF the rights OF an American citizen. and the great
and mighty Grover has been the first one TO discover
It. II this no so. I think Congress had better curtail
some of the rights of citizens or the officers Of the
International Navigation COMPANY may seize the en-.
tire navy and let 1t carry their passengers aud freight.
Uncle Sam paying all expenses, Haven't they aud all
other citizens tho same privileges as Grover Cleve.

must keep Jusrlcr.

been found dead In his cell. Mr.. Oh
NBY added that he had been justified
in supposing that Gen. LEE would attend to
the case, and, II the prisoner should not be
put into communication with friends at the
end of the prescribed seventy.two hours,
that Gen. LEE would demand this right,
and would report to Washington II 1t should
not be granted.
The question of final responsibility for
the neglect, IL neglect there was, may now
perhaps be settled. But meanwhile it must
be noted thai Secretary OLrEY gave a nara
tive Of the case, as made up from the de-
spatches, but did not set forth the full cor
respondcnce, which might have allowed the
Senate to form its own conclusions.
1t docs not yet appear that the Depart
ment Of State took enough interest In the
case of DIR. RUIZ to give any instructions or
make any suggestions or inquiries about 1t
after receiving Gen. LEES despatch of Feb. 4.
With severe impartiality, Mr.. OLNEY put
side by side the absolutely conflicting state
ments of our Consul. General and the Span
ish authorities as to whether DIR. RUE had
been shamcfully held In n narrow and
filthy dungeon, dying there from neglect
and violence, or had been accommodated
with a spacious apartment, fitted up with
an easy chair, mattress, and bed linen, and
there had succumbed to q natural death.
As to the Indignation Of Gen. LEE over the
affair, nowhere do we observe the slightest
sympathy with 1t or even an admission that
1t may have been we'll founded.
The matter Is too important to be allowed
to drop, merely from the fact that a change
OF Administration has interviewed. Spain
has agreed that an investigation Of It shall
be made, so that the duty of seeing that the
investigation Is thorough devolves on our
Government. In any case it seems clear
that Spain committed the wrong of holding
his unfortunate citizen of ours incomuni-
cado for two weeks, although the law limits
the time to seventy.two hours.

According to a recent number Of the

as many gendarmerie, and, in brief, nearly
10000 officers and men.
In round numbe this reckoning gives
more han 10000 men under military pay,
either In the field or at home. The question
arises, how long can Spain stand such a

battle. The question Of more men and more
money will soon vex Spain and the posi-
bility OF home troubles makes 1t necessary
to retain a strong force in the Peninsula.
Cuba has only to persist, and the burden
will be too heavy for Spain to carry.

Send n Ship To Samoa.

The new from Apia shows that King
MALIEToA has been menaccd by a force Of
indictments under TAMAsEsE, who took ad.
vantage of the absence Of foreign war yes.
sells to attack the capital. The foreign Con.
suls were unable TO avert disorder.
1t is now more than four years since an
American warship has visited Samoan wa
tcrs. When Mr.. CLEVELAND became Pres.
idcnt, In 1893, he took ground at once
against the Berlin treaty, under which
our country had united with England and
Germany TO establish a proper govern.
ment in Samoa. Mr.. CLEVELAND and Mr..
GRESHAM held that we ought to give
up the obligations we had assumed toward
Samoa under that treaty, and to abandon
also such vantage ground as we had thereby
gained in preventing the group from fol-
lowing the fate Of most other Pacific
islands, hat of being gobblcd up by one or
another Of the European powers.
Congress, however, ignored completely
Mr.. C~LEvELASD's repeated appeals, in sue.
c~essive annual messages, for our with.
drawal from the Berlin treaty. But he did
his best to nullify practical action under
that treaty, upon our part, by send.
ing no warship to Samoa through,
out his Administration, although n
revolution occurred there which was
subducd through the agency Of British and
German vessels. When tho German Am.
bassador complained hat we were not
doing our part under the compact, Mr..
CLEVELAND, instead of despatching n vessel
to Apia, sent the Ambassador complaint
to Congress as another reason for with.
drawing from our treaty obligations.
Thus IL has turned out that while our ships
have crossed and recrossed the Pacific north
Of the Equator, they have sedulously kept
away from the South Seas. But now there
is a good reason why their occasional visits
to Apia should be resumed, and Secretary
Long would do we'll to mark the beginning
of his administration by having some yes.
sci of the Pacific or the Asiatic squadron
call there.
At this time, we believe, there is abso,
lutely no duty, out of the dull routine of
station service, devolving upon the vessels

Thessaly, which recent occurrences have
brought INTO notice, has been already the
theatre of many important events In history.
1t Is a country of mountain and plain, trav-
ersed by the ~Salembria, the ancient Pc.
neius, receiving in its upper course many
tributaries that issue from the melting
SHOWS and springs Of the Othrys and Pindus
mountains. The Thcssalian cavalry were
celebrated in the wars of ancient times, and
the mountaineers of Thessaly contributed
to the renown of the Macedonian p~halanx.
The battle Of Pharsala, which decided the
dispute for the headship Of the Roman
world between CESAR and PoMPEY, was
fought on the soil Of Thessaly in As b. {.
After the break up OF the Roman Empire,
Thessaly became the theatre OF perpetual
conflicts between its people and successive
waves Of invaders from the North, until in
the fifteenth century it passed into the
possession of the Turk. In the time of
CESAR the population was estimated at four
millions Of people, and IL was one Of the
granaries Of the Roman Empire. In 1881,
when II was handed over to Greece after
four centuries of Turkish domination, the
population had been 80 harried that, to-

their lives and property near the shore to

The Case OF DIR. Ruiz.

With the Senate in session during tho
present week and the House to assemble on
the 10Th, the current affairs of Cuba are not
likely to be neglected by Congress, Per
haps, also, with the change OF A~dministra-
tion some light MAJ be thrown on certain
obscure passages in our diplomacy.
Just before the close of the Fifty.fourth
Congress, Mr.. OLNEY made a statement to
the ena concerning the Ruiz case, which
might be construed, perhaps, as a reflection
upon the conduct of Gen. LEE. He said
that, after learning of the arrest of DIR.
RUIZ, on Feb. 4, nothing more was heard
from Gen. LEE on the subject until Feb. II,
when he announced that DIR. RUIZ had
