THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS.
Declined to Reopen Case of Ex-POlicc'
 man AhearM -Patr0lnien Deduced.


 Considerable business was transacted by the board of police commissioners at it's regular meeting last night. Pa. trolman Ahearn, who was discharged from the force some time since, appear ed before the board and asked that his , case be reopened. In petition which he presented at former meeting he alleged that the testimony given by witnesses at the time he was discharg- ed was false and that he was now in position to prove the truth of his al- legations. On the strength of MT. Ahearn's representations the board con- sented to hear his witnesses. The fol- lowing witnesses were in consequence introduced: w. A. Doctor Felix G. Da- wis, Edward Lynch and Arthur Pur- cess. The complaint alleges that MT. Ahearn was intoxicated at 11:25 D. m. The testimony as given last night was with reference to the condition of the accused at other hours than the one alleged in the complaint The board in consequence of this discrepancy declin- ed to reopen the case because the ale gations had not been proved. As a re- suit of the friction at station it was decided for the good of the service to make a number of changes Patrolman Dippold was reduced to grade B, and transferred to station No. 2; Patrolman Cooper to grade B, and transferred to station No. 4; Patrolman McGrath to grade c. and transferred to station No. f. and Patrolman Gallagher to grade D, and transferred to station No. g. The recommendation of the committee on finance that the claims of Signal Officer Bradley Patrolmen Horan and Cooper for lost time be paid, was accepted and the report adopted.
 The petition of Mrs. John Spang, wife of the late Detective Spang, was granted and she was ordered paid $500, subject to the approval of the mayor. Such pension as was granted is permis- sible by the rules of the board because the deceased was in active service at the time of his death.
 Upon the recommendation of the Civil service board the board elected Edward J. Brennan special constable. John w. Scott was also appointed a special constable.
 The following transfers were order ed as a means by which the efficiency of the department can be bettered: Pa- trolmen w. c. Allen, from station to station 8; Kober, from to 8: Bright from to 3; Kane, from to 3: Stan ford from to 1: McAvoy, from 2 to |; McDermott, from 1 to 2; Cannon. from to i, and Farrell, from 1 to 2.

ANGLO-SAXON FRIENDSHIP
ADDRESS BY THE BRITISH UNDER
 COLONJ4L SECRETARY.
The Present Relations Between Britain
 Salisbury's Policy - The Fighting shoulder~to-Shoulde Incident in

London, April 26.--The Earl of Sel- bourne, under secretary of state for the colonies, addressing a conservative mass meeting this evening at St. Albans, Hertford, said he thought that if any justification of Lord Salisbury's policy were required it was afforded by the present relations between the United States and Great Britain. At a trying time, said his lordship, the government proved their self control and waited for coolness, justice and common sense to reassert themselves. Now the dark mis- erable cloud which so long hung over the AngloSaxon peoples has drifted off. American officers fell on the same field of conquest. They were not engaged in fratricidal strife, but were fighting shoulder to shoulder, and small though the incident was, it will be of import ance in the history of the world. All must regret, continued Lord Selbourne, the lamentable cause of the incident; but the only three nations concerned were what might be termed the three cousin nations of the word.' He re- marked that he had no doubt America and Germany, in this matter, would prove as amenable as Great Britain to the dictates of common sense.

THE COGHLAN INCIDENT.
It May Now be Considered as Finally
 Closed.

Closed. s
 Washington. April 26.-The case Of Captain Coghlan may be considered as finally closed. The German ambassa- dor, Dr. Von Holleben, called at the White house this afternoon and had conference on the subject with the president of such a satisfactory nature that the matter was regarded as settled. The president explained the course the navy department had taken in adminis- tering reprimand to Captain Coghlan. It was also pointed out that the offi- cer's explanation of the incident stated that his utterances had been much ex- aggerated. On the part of the ambas- sador there was every disposition to deal as lightly with the matter as pos sible and not to permit 1t to become source of friction.
 During the day the navy department administered to Captain Coghlan the reprimand which had been determined upon yesterday. This was in the form of a letter from Secretary Long to the officer. It is stated at the department that the letter will not be made public before the officer has received it, and probably not then.
 The department made public a brief statement of the contents of Captain Coghlans letter in answer to Secretary Longs request for an acknowledge ment of responsibility for the utterances ascribed to him, but the contents was more fully stated in yesterdays Asso- ciated Press desratches. The state ment is as follows:
 Captain Coghlan has replied to the department stating that the newspa- pers have not reported him with sug- stantial accuracy. Also, that he in. tended no disrespect or contempt to the German flag and is extremely sorry that any such interpretation was put upon his remarks. Proper reprimand will be sent and such action taken in respect thereto as is proper"

THE DREYFUS CASE.
Flgaro's Publications Throw Antt-R Re-
 visionists Into COnsternntfon.


 Paris, April 26--The Figaros publi- cation of the evidence of Captain Cuig- net before the Court of Cessation has thrown the anti-revision party into corsternation. The Eclair and all the anti-Dreyfus papers are boiling with indignation. Several of them suppress altogether the testimony of this off, cer, whose principal statement was that the guilt of Dreyfus could be only in- ferentially published from the secret dossier. The Cautious falls foul of the Figaro for it's Infamous publication" The Eclair denounces Captain Cuignet in unmeasured terms. Captain Cuig- nets denunciation of Colonel Du Paty de Clam as forger is held to be a complete giving away of the case of the general staff. The only possible explanation for it seems to be that Cuignet, acting under orders, is making Du Paty de Clam a scapegoat for the staff
