the submission of the amendment to the
city clerk, and that he transmitted 1t to
the city council, which body referred the
matter to Corporation Counsel Humphrey
for an opinion as to its validity. 1t is re-
cited that Mr.. Humphrey held the pro-
posed amendment to be unconstitutional.
A copy of Mr.. Humphreys opinion Is
printed in full In the complaint.
After the rendering of Mr.. Humphreys
opinion, the petitioners allege that petit
lions were generally circulated asking the
council to submit the amendment to the
people; that these petitions were signed
by 1,750 persons who voted in the last city
election, being rs per cent. Of the voters
who registered in that election.
1t Is alleged that, despite the charter
provision, which the petitioners claim
makes 1t mandatory on the city council
to submit a proposed amendment when 20
per cent. Of the registered voters In the
last general election petition for the SUBJ
mission of the same. the city council tabled
the petition. and tabled a resolution re-
ferring 1t to City Comptroller Parry for a
verification of the signatures thereto with
the registration books.
The petitioners, therefore, ask that
writ of mandamus issue compelling the
submission of the amendment. Judge
Benson granted writ of mandamus. and
made 1t returnable next Tuesday.
The whole thirteen members of the city
council are made co-defendants In the suit,
and each of them was served with copy
OF Judge Benson's order yesterday after
noon.

ity, =, however, a minor qualification for
thta Office. The salary should, however,
be such that when a poor man Is called to
the Office he can give 1t his full time and
ability, Without financial humiliation or the
partial pursuit of some other vocation to
secure a living. mayor is target for
mary charitable appeals to which he must
respond ! may observe here that the right
man fer the Office cannot always give 1t
his entire time. Fitness Is not to be meas
urei by hours or dollars, and the lack Of
either should not bar the right man.
1.-THE same considerations apply in the
main to a city councilman. He can divide
his tire between his own business and that
Of the city, but the city Is apt to get the
hes. share of the division. No more ardu-
GUS or thenkless Office was ever invented.
while It may be true that the right
men cannot be attracted to this office by
salary, 1t is also true that an honest and
faithful councilman cannot go on forever
without some compensation for time and
energy taken out OF his own business
The policy of no pay is a bar to poor men
and busy men. Seventy-five dollars a
month Is about the minimum wage in the
city service anywhere. 1t Is certainly not
too much for a councilman trying to serve
anc please few thousand of his fellow
citizens.
'T have not had time to ask for an
exlwession from other citizens on this sub-
ject. but beg to urge upon your honora-

for some increase in the salaries referred
to. / kc.;eve such amendments would be

decided to repair the great dock on the
south side of Marrowstone point. independ-
emily Of the construction. of new dock
on the west side. of which mention has
been made In the Post-Intelligencer. Capt.
Robinson decided that it would be better
to retain the south side dock for the use
Of sea-going vessels, the water being deep
er where the old dock is located than on
the other side of the point.
Repairs costing several hundred dollars
will be made to the old dock. and yester-
day Capt. Robinson requested bids for the
work from a number Of local contractors.
AS told several weeks ago in the Post-In-
telligencer. the dock has become practical
ly unfit for use. Capt: Robinson proposes
to drive new piles and make the present
dock serviceable, in the meantime prepar-
ing for the construction Of new landing

CANNOT HOLD THE VESSEL.
Court Dismisses Damage Sui,
Against Steamer Cleveland.


In the Federal court yesterday Judge
Hanford handed down a decision granting
the motion of Charles Nelson, owner Of
the steamship Cleveland, to dismiss the IL
bel filed against that vessel by John Cryan
and twenty-nine others to recover damages
for alleged hardships sustained by them
while passengers on her from st. Michael
to Seattle last August The claims aggre-
gated SIS, 800.
The ground of Judge Hanford's ruling
was that when the vessel was released up
on bonds from another libel filed by the
same libelants several months ago upon the
same cause of action she became forever
freed from all liens arising out of that
cause of action and could not be reseized
under a new libel, Notwithstanding the
original libel had been dismissed without
prejudice to the rights OF the ubelants to
file a new suit.
The decision means that II Cryan and his
fellow libelants desire to prosecute their
claims against the Cleveland they must
do so by suit against her master or
her owner personally and cannot enforce
any lien against the vessel.

died at 10 o'clock to.tIght, after
an illness of three hours.
1t has been known for some time
that his heart was weak, but the
first intimation that he was sick
was given at $3.50 this evening,
when a message was dispatched to
the premier, NJ. Dupuy, announc-
ing that the president was i'll. NJ
Dupuy Immediately repaired to

proved futile, and the president
died on the stroke Of 10. The flag
on the EIysee was immediately

was dispatched to all the officers
and members OF the cabinet. Gen

of Paris, the grand chancellor Of

The Rewards of Demerit.

For his shameful exhibition Of
blackguardism and insubordlnation
in the tolerant presence of the
board for the justification Of the
conduct Of the war, General Eagan
is to be given six years full pay
without work.
For his incompetence as com
missary general, IN sending unfit
ratlons to the American army in
che tropics, some equally suitable
reward will, no doubt, lie devised
by our serene president.
The Eagan sentence is the most
terrifying warning TO evil,doers

six Years vacation. Full Pay.

First-0n January 20, 1898, Mr.
Mckinley and Algcr took Charles
p Eagan, then sixty.eighth in the
list of lieutenant coIonels. jumped
him about 1875 numbers, made MIN
a brigader general and put him in
full charge Of the subsistence de-
partment of the army.
Second-On February 25, 1898,
Mr., Mckinley and Alger took
Henry G. Corbin, then forty.fourth
in the list of colonels, jumped him
about forty numbers, made him a
brigadicr general, put him in full
charge Of the adjutant generals
Office and exalted that Office above
the Office Of commanding general
Of the army.
Third-Alger and Corbir, through
Eagan, gave enormous beef con
tracts to contributors to Mr.. Nc.
Kinley's campaign fund Of 1895
These beef contracts were filled in
a large measure with "embalmed
beef"
Fourth-Major General Miles,
pursuing his duties as command
ing general, discovered that this
"cmbotmed bccP' was not only use.
less as food bUf positively poison
Gus, causing disease wherever III
was used. He was sustained in
this view by Colonel Roosevelt
and by several score officers Of the
regular army.
Fifth-Brigadier General Eagan,
infuriated by the exposure of him
self and Alger and Corbin and
their friends the embaImers, gave
way to one of his frequent attacks
of Indecent vituperation. He pub,
licIy denounced General Miles.
Every word that he uttered against |
Miles was false, and not only de.
libcrateIy false but destructive OF
good order and discipline in the
army.
SIxth-For this over-zealous de.
fense of himself, Alger, Coz bin and
their friend and shield, Mr.. Nc,
the president, has gwen
Eagan six years vacation with full
pay.

or of the instinct of self.
