BROWN rs CONFIRMED.
Accepted By Council After Whitaker
Was Beaten.

The special session of the city council
held last night to receive the appoint
ments of the chief of the fire depart
ment and the chief of the police depart
ment. The feature of the meeting was
a lively wrangle over the appointment
of a. captain of police. The chief of po-
lice submitted the name of Sam Il.
Whitaker. Councilmen Brewer and
Williams made vigorous attack on his
nomination, their main contention be-
ing that the captain should have been
chosen from the patrolmen- President
Browning called Councilman Shaw to
the chair and worked valiantly for the
confirmation of Whitaker. He init
mated that the ordinances were not be-
ing enforced, especially as to Sunday
closing and gambling, and he believed
a little new blood should be infused
into the police department.
After some sharp and somewhat per-
sonal argument, lasting about an hour,
the nomination of Whitaker failed of
confirmation by a vote of to A. The
absence Of Councilman Woolley and
the death of Mr.. Ash made the voting
strength in the council only eight.
The other nominees for the police
force were the same, simply reappoint-
ments. These We're confirmed, separate
votes being taken in each case, and
ldlei III inc SesSioi Iie CLleL VI pOiCe
submitted the name of William A.
Brown for the position of captain and
the name of George Burton for patrol
man. The two appointments were con-
firmed by unanimous vote. This leaves
the department just as it has been. eX-
cept that Brown is promoted to captain,
as Burton has been doing duty as a
special for several months.
Chief Riser appointed all the men,
bers of the fire department, and his ap-
pointments We're confirmed without OPP
position of any sort.
Chief Davenport also reappOinted all
the special police officers, and they were
confirmed.
William A. Brown, the new captain,
has been longer in the service of the
department than any other policeman.

PRY INTO POLICE RECORDS.
Mazet Committee Investigates New
York Department

New York, April S.-The seven members
OF the Mazet legislative investigating
committee began their work of Drying
into the records Of the police department
and other local administrative offices to-
day.
After several minor witnesses had been
called, a number of them failing TO make
their appearance, Chief of Police Devery
was called to the stand, and his testimony
was the most important of the day, as
it signified the launching of the attack
upon the police department. The wit
ness admitted that there was q. charge
against him when he was made chief, in
February, 1897. The chief was compelled
to admit that the charge had been held
up, and then said he had never been re-
quired to pass .. civil service examfna-
ton.
Mr.. Moss then sprang something of a
surprise on the witness by announcing
that he offered in evidence three charges
which had been standing against the
chief of police for some time, none of
which had ever been wiped out, either by
dismissal or proof of innocence. These
charges were for neglect of duty, for
taking a bride of 500 and for neglecting
to close disorderly houses when their
existence had been brought to his atten-
ton.
Mr. Moss then went into a detailed list
OF establishments that are known to be
kept running at all hours of the night
and asked the chief why he had not
closed them up before. Not receiving
any satisfactory answer, Mr.. Moss then

asked Chief Devery why he allowed
certain house in the upper Broadway dis

there were almost daily complaints from
neighborhood. The reply was that never
had there been obtained sufficient evil
dence to warrant the arrest of the
woman who runs the house. There could
be no police interference until proof posi-
tive was secured. Then Mr.. Moss asked
the witness if it was not because of the

Devery denied that this was so.
The question of allowing two periodicals

papers had been toned down considerably
and that he had called the attention of
Anthony Comstock TO them, but he was

early trading today, and the weight of
realizing sales became more burden

rose TO top prices in the early dealings.
Tnere Were quite number of rather
obscure stocks which held good gains
throughout, but the earlier rise in many
cases was almost wiped out. The mar
ket started off well under the influence
OF the cheerful tone of the foreign mar
ket. London dealt in about 40, 900 shares
in this market, the balance of purchases
prevailing over sales. An early drive
against Tennessee Coal, which carried

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
r. ?. Porter Talks Of Amer
lean Industrials and the
Feeling in Germany.

New York, Aug. "a A London dis
patch to the Times says that Robert
P. Porter left for the continent last
night after two days stay here. He
is rather tagged out after visiting the
principal countries of the world His
tour was made in behalf of American
industrials, and though not represent
ing the government, the result of his
labors doubtless will be a considerable
factor in the presidential campaign. In
an interview Mr.. Porter, among other
things, said:
"A word of warning is no harm to our
people. Publicity does harm as well as
good. The announcement of certain
contracts secured by Americans has
caused feeling, sometimes amounting
almost to animosity. The feeling
against American competition is great
er in Germany than elsewhere. Still,
there is little ground for it, as most of
our exports are raw material or par
tally finished material.
Take machinery, for instance. The
export is considerable to Germany, and
with it the Germans manufacture arti-
cles which they sell at home and abroad
at large profits.
len OF llIIeen years ago we imported
about a hundred million dollars worth
of steel and iron; now we export near
ly that amount. A great part of this
iron and steel is in structures for
bridges and buildings. There are more
reasons for this than American low
prices. l have visited every country in
Europe except Spain and Portugal.
Everywhere I was struck by the air of
general prosperity. Work was plenti-
full, and there was no appearance of
want in all the principal cities, such
as Paris, Berlin, Vienna and Amster-
dam.
An immense number Of buildings
were in course of construction. In Pa
ris there is nothing but the exposition.
In Amsterdam they are driving piles IN
all directions for foundations for new
buildings. Europe is not able to supply
the demand, and American orders, in
the majority of cases, are only the sur
plus which cannot be supplied by the
European makers"
Mr.. Porter says that Russia feels
most kindly toward us, but gives Am
erica only orders she cannot herself
fill. He thinks that If Mr.. Bryan sue
ceeds in resurrecting the silver ques-
ton it will cast a shadow across the
sunshine of our prosperity, There will
be the usual withdrawal Of foreign or
ders and the usual shock to capitalist
enterprise at home.
