Whatever may have been the cause of the
appointment of Speaker SchAeffer to succeed
Fire Marshal Lawyer, there can be no doubt
of the truth of the following comments of the
Baltimore american upon MIR. Lawyers
character rs an officer
ut looks as # Speaker Schaeffer got the
most of anybody, but he will have to work
ifhc make. anything like as good fire mar
shal as Mr. Edwin ]. Lawyer Mr., Lawyers
great mistake was in considering that he
ought to do something for his salary He
has been most admirable man in the place,
and we know of no person in the service of
the state who has tried harder TO do his duty
and to make his cf1ce a useful institulion.
We hope that Mr.. Schaeffer will follow Mr.
Lawyers example, but at the same time we
are sorry that such faithful officer as Mr..
Lawyer was sacrificed by mere politics. The
consolation lie that the first fire marshal of
the state set the standard 30 high that no
successor will dare to lower it,"

waiting orders is about all that could
be said of the flying squadron early this
morning. The routine duties on board
were gone through with in the same man
ner as any other day, the only difference
noticeable being that officers were not
given shore leave. Every officer was on
board last night and anticipated start
ing orders but definite news of the move
ment of the Key West feet created little
excitement, as it had been anticipated.
What seemed to interest the officers was
whether the Verde Islands fleet of Spain
had moved it being the general ilspres
sion that until it does this squadron will
not make a move. The stories relating to
the detachment of the Massachusetts are
denied, no orders of her attachment to
any fleet having been received. 1t was
more peaceful hefe this morning than
yesterday both as relates to activity on
the ship, weather and sea. On shore
there was a trifle more excitement. People
sat on the dock string pieces and watched
eagerly for movements on the boats.
Every string of signals that went UP to
the mast of the Brooklyn was interpreted
to mean something dire, until, finally,
towards noon it was seen that all the
ships were at target practice and evident
ly not preparing to move as yet
Pilots are here ready to take out the
ships at q moments notice; fires are up
and engines coupled and "a start can be
made in an hour.
One of the golfers for the fleet, the
Saturn, came back from Norfolk yard
this morning with a full complement OF
coal and oil for the use of the squadron.

POLICE WANT ARMS.
Brig. Gen. Aternethy Asks
Gov. Voorhees, for Two
Hundred Rifles.

1t was learned by a reporter for Tine
News late this afternoon that Brevet
Brigaaier General Abernethy, president OF
the Police Board, this morning, made
requisition on Governor Voorhees, for
two hundred stands of arms and equip
ments for two hundred men. This is in
accordance with the plan mapped out by
Chief of Police Murphy to arm a bat
TALON of policemen for service against
rioters i'm this city or for service in any
other part of the State in response to a
call from Governor Voorhees,.
1t was not thought that the requisition
would be made until after the Police Com
missioners had received the petition OF
the men and had considered the commu-
nication which Chief Murphy is to send
to them this afternoon General Aber-
nethy, however, believes that no time Is
to be lost He is heartily in accord with
the plans of Chief Murphy.
When asked by a reporter if it were
true that he had made a requisition, he
SAID: -
II made a requisition on the Governor
this morning. 1 have mad the matter
under advsement for several days. | am
sorry to say that in response to my re-
quest for arms l received word that the
State has not a single spare rifle at Its
disposal There are not enough rifles Tor
the men now in the National Guard. A
supply of Jorgersen rifles is expected from
the United States Government, but every
one that can be had is wanted elsewhere
and it may be some time before they
arrive When the Jorgensen rifles are re-
ceived suppose we can secure s2UV OF the
rifles now in the hands of the National
Guard, or perhaps the Governor will see
fit to supply us in some other manner. :.

fact remains that the United States,

which Mr. Olney expressed in such crude
