TWO CHARTER REVISION RESOLUTIONS IN
THE BOARD OF TRADE

The monthly meeting of the Board of Trade and
President John p. Parsons presided 1t decided
to send committee to public meeting of bus-
ness associations at the Produce Exchange on
Tuesday . O'Clock for the purpose of agitating
enlarged canal system. It voted also to
send representa- tives the State Commerce Con-
vention at Syracuse in June.
The most important resolution offered was in ref
erence to the Charter Revision Commission. G.
Waldo Smith proposed the following resolution
Board OF Trade and Transportation each borough
the city of New-York should provide for and
pay the expenses of it's separate management and
government. and be required only to pay pro rata
general municipal government, and we favor such
amendment of the charter will accomplish this
object.
Darwin r. James immediat ately opposed the resou-
tion and proposed the following a substitute:
Resolved. That the Board of Trade ard Trans
portation express to the honorable Commission ap-
pointed by the Governor upon the revision of the
city charter its preference for the abolishment Of
the borough system with the wiping out of all bor-
estate for purposes of taxation be upon the same
basis Throughout the city, with UNIFORM tax rate
The members of the Board considered these reso-
lutions so important that motion of Francis B.
Thurber il was decided to refer them both TO the
Committee on City Affairs for public hearings
President Parsons said it would be much to ask
the committee to come and hold public hearings
such an important matter. G.. Waldo Smith, how
ever favored the resolution Of Mr. Thurber, and it

IN forcing a draw also. During the
afternoon only gentlemen were present
but at the evening session there was
quite a sprinkling of ladies'. Before the
play started MI. Pillsbury gave several
exhibitions of his remarkable power to

In the checker and chess games Mr..

that l read of repeated reverses to the
British arms in South Africa. I cannot
understand how any grateful American
can feel other than friendly toward a
power that represents so much progress
as Great Britain. 1t seems to me Ameri-
cans should net forget the very friendly
attitude taken by that power during our
troubles with Spain. We should do as
our president and his officers are doing,
remain absolutely neutral so far as our
public acts and expressions are concerned
l a understand how easy it is, as a
matter of sentiment and sympathy, to
feel for the nnder dog in thissad conflict,
but it resolves itself into something more
stupendous than a local war. Our trem.
endous commercial relations with Great
Beitain makes that nations condition

looking for an actual offensive and de-
fensive alliance with Great Britain, but
it is reason to look for the most. harmo-

Governor Thomas of Colorado is Civ
ing some attention to a bill similar to
the n presented in the North Dakota
legislature by Senator Creel placing the
granting of marriage licenses in the
hands of a board of medical examiners.
The governor looks favorably upon the
measure, which was prepared by a per-
sonal friend, and is expected to embody
it's salient points in his message to the
assembly. In brief, the bill provides for
a hoard of medical examiners in each
county to consist of three physicians, no
two to come of the same school, and
where possible the board is to have one
or more female members. The board
shall have power to examine all persons
seeking to marry, and refuse permission
to all who are not mentally and physi-
cally equipped to enter the marriage
state.

Amid all the tumult and the shouting

friend of the Beers and probably the most
weighty and effective critic of the CON

the Declaration of independence find re-
