THE CITY WHARF LOT.
Money Wanted for street Opening
Purposes.

Purposes.
Mayor Myers was asked yesterday to ex-
plain the object of Council in ordering a
portion of the city wharf lot at the foot
of West Broad street offered for sale.
1.-THE explanation is easy" said the May
or 1.-THE city is spending a great deal
Of money for opening up streets in the
southern section. We think it better for
the city to dispose of such OF its real
estate holdings as can be sold to advantage
and to use the money obtained In this
way in opening streets than to take the
whole amount necessary for street OPEN
ing purposes from the money contributed
by the taxpayers. This is che policy ad-
vocated by Alderman Williams chairman
Of the Committee on Opening Streets, and
Council is disposed 10 agree with him.
1.-THE resolution" the Mayor explained,
"does not provide for The sale Of the en-
tire wharf lot, but only that portion oc-
cupied by the building now on the lot.
1t is proposed to retain the wharf for pub
lie use"
Alderman Williams has maintained for
some time that II is poor policy for the
city 10 retain it's real estate holdings,
which for the most part return no rev.
enue to the city, and, Of course, pay no
taxes. when the money can be used 10
better advantage for street opening and
other purposes. When the property passes
into private hands It becomes subject to
taxation, and thus returns a revenue to
the city.

REFUSED HIM NEW TRIAL.
Case of John DeIegaI VIII BE Car
ried to the supreme Court.

Case of John DeIegaI VIII BE Car
ried to the supreme Court.
In the Superior Court yesterday Judge
Paul e. Seabrook, OF the Atlantic Circuit,
listened to the arguments of counsel in the
cases of John ard Eddie Delegal, charged
with the murder of Deputy Sheriff Town
send convicted and sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for life, and of twenty-six DaTien
rioters, who have been convicted and SEN
fenced 10 terms on the chain-gang of Nc
Intcsh county. s8eel
All of these had filed motions for new
trials and counsel argued them at length.
The prisoners were rept esented by Messrs.
Twiggs & OFver and Mr.. Robbie Travis,
and Tie young gentleman last named made
a quite creditabie and lucid argument for
his clients. The cause of the state was
championed by Solicitor General Livings-
ton Kenan, Mr. w. 6. Charlton and MIR.
w c. Hartridge.
As a result Of the various hearings, in
which the entire day was consumed, the
motion for new trial in the case of John
De.egal was overruled and the new trial
denied, the consideration of the case of
his brother was postponed until Saturday,
when The state will submit a brief of ar
gument and new trials were denied, with
one exception, in the cases of all the rot
ers The single fortunate one Of these is
William jenkins.
The evidence against John Delegal show
ed that he had fired the fatal shot imme-
diately after Townsend had entered the
house of his father. According to the
state there was no threat or other indica-
ton from either of the two officers who
had come to make the arrest that they
=, lated violence. Although this was
oontradicted in large part by the evidence
submitted on the part of the defense, t
was evident that the jury had chosen to
credit that given for the prosecution and
Judge Seabrook decided therefore, that
the sentence should stand and that new
trial should not be allowed. The case viii
be taken to the Supreme Court
There is little evidence against Eddie
Delegal that was submitted at the firs st
trial. and it is more than likely that IN
his case new trial will be granted. Il
was evident from the remarks Of the juds e
that had he decided the case yesterday a
new trial would have been granted, and 1t
was 10 allow further time for argument
from the state that the hearing was post
poned until Saturday. Then the case VIII
be determined, so far as the pending mo-
ton In the Superior Court is concerned,
finally.

RECORDS FOR THE SENATE
=, Board Assisting Secretary Long in
the Samp~On-SchIcy Matter


The War Department is not having a
monopoly of Investigations. In the eastern
wing of the big building next to the
White House. which has been the theatre
Tor so many dramatic episodes during the
last few months, Secretary Long and
board OF naval officers are at work deIving
into the intTicacies OF the actions of Ad-
mirals Sampson and SchIey during the
memorable naval battle OF Santiago, or
which the promotion of each officer was
based
In doing so the Secretary is complying
with the resolution adopted by the Senate
calling for the records of the two officers.
in order that that body may dc
termine whether the Administration has
dealt unfairly with Admiral Schley in ad-
vdncing Admiral Sampson over him
The board consists of the following Of
ficers all OF whom participated in the
great naval battle; Capt. Robley u.
Evans, who commanded the battleship
Iowa: Capt. II. c. Taylor, who commanded
the battelship Indiana; Lieut.. W. J. Sears,
Admiral Schleys flag lieutenant and En-
sign II. II. Ward Of the Bureau of Navi-
CATION. Lieut.. Sears is regarded as the
representative ON the board OF Admiral
Schley.
Secretary Long determined TO appoint
the board OF officers to assist him in max
ing his report to the Senate in order that
there might be no doubt that the whole
matter would be gone into impartially, and
that no favOritism would be shown Ad-
miral Sampson. The report, as far as it
is possible 10 make it so, will he strictly
unbiased.
The Secretary did not intend to make
public the names of the officers he had
selected. but their unusual activity around

THE CIVIL SERVICE ORDER.
The President viii Probably Pro
muIUUt,. II soon.


muiUnte Ii soon.
Il is said that the Presidents reformed
civil service order will be promulgated
Immediately after the Treaty of Peace has
been ratified by the Senate. 1t is under
stood that the reason of Mr.. McKinley's
procrastinatiOn in Issuing the order was
caused by the strong influence brought to
bear to effect the removal of the Govern
ment Printing Office from the civil service
laws.
When the order was first contemplated
no provision was made to relieve this
branch of the Government from the
dreaded examinations, but when submitted
to the heads of the various departments
for such recommendations and amendments
as they might care to make, it was suggest
ed that the positions in the printing office be
excluded from the civil service rule. Mr..
Mckinley has had so little leisure to de-
vote to reconsidering the order and the
proposed amendments that he deferred
making his final decision until the more
important questions had been disposed Of.
Senator Hanna saw the President yester-
day morning for few moments. He re-
tanned his usual reticent manner when re-
ferring to the purpose of his visit but in
speaking TO the probabilities OF the rati-
fcation of the Peace Treaty, he sale: :
There is no way OF telling whether the
Treaty will be ratified or not. The simple
fact Is that there are several doubtful
alton and until after the first ballot neither
side will know where they stand"
Other Senators who saw the President
yesterday were Cullom Spooner, Lindsay.
Gear, Hawley, Pritcliaid, Nelson, and
