THE fact that Street and Sewer Direc-
tor Simmons and President Mitchell, of
the Universal Heat. Light and Power
Company, have attempted to explain,
how and why the recent sweeping grant
OF street franchises was made to that
company, is favorable sign. Popular
Indignation is making them vince.
These explanations, however, do not
meet the case. This is not question
of legal procedure. 1t is, on the one
side, a betrayal Of the obligations
of public service, and, upon the other,
of profting by that betrayal in taking
what the recipient knew, the people who
owned it were not willing to give away.
The whole history OF the affair as it went
through the Street and Sewer Depart
ment proves that. 1t may be that there
is no way OF correcting the wrong done.
We do not believe it. We cannot con-
ceive of legislative and administrative
wrong for which there is no remedy
but this, these gentlemen will probably
want some other political trust, and the
people will see that they don't get it.

The meeting of the Grand Lodge Of
the A. o. Y. w., at Dover, today, is an
important event. 1t represents the
largest, and in its sphere the best organi-
zation for self help among men that there
is in this country-an organization that
does more good, and makes less fuss
about it, than any other that we know
any thing about. Success to you,
brethren, may your meeting be pleasant
and in every way successful in promoting
the grand principles and practices of the
order. Do your best. 1t is none toe
good for the interests you have in charge.

LABOR TROUBLE SETTLED.
Objectionable Foreman Resigns and
Railroad wOrkmen Resume.

Springfield, Mass, Feb. 1.-THE trou-
BILE in the Boston and Albany railroad
shops in West Springfield was settled
by the refusal of George n Tower sf
Fitchburg to accept the position of fore
man. When the notice announcing that
Mr.. Tower had been appointed foreman
was posted Saturday night, the 100 ma
chinists met and voted not to work I'M
der him. They objected TO him because
he has the reputation of being unfair Ia
men under him and of working them too
hard.
A second conference was held, al
which Superintendent of Rolling Stock
Purvis, Division Master Mechanic
Barnes, Mr.. Tower and a committee OF
the machinists were present. Mr.. Tower
stated that in view of the opposition tc
him he would not accept the position OF
foreman, and this satisfied the ma
chinists, who returned to work.

Nay, not the cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent words or thought
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in walled-up woman's heart
OF woman that would not yield.
But bravely, silently bore her part
Lol there was the battlefield.

No banner to G mani wave 3

A PROMINENT Democrat recently said
to representative of THE Sun that he

ADJUSTMENTS.

ga Colonial Girl" one of the latest of
the New York Lyceum successes, which
Daniel Frohman will present at the
Grand Opera House on Monday, March
l3, was first produced in New York in
the fall of 1898. 1t made very strong
impression and had long run to crowd
ed houses at that theatre, and subse-
quently duplicated its success in many
of the principal cities OF the contry. This
is the first season of regular production
on the road, and it's first time in this
city. The play is stirring drama of old
New York in Revolutionary times. 1t
is love story, and though the uniforms
of the military, both British and Cont
mental, are in evidence, there ia none of
the turmoil and smell of powder which
is incidental to war play. The action
begins in delicate vein of comedy and
as the interest grows, the theme becomes
more serious, and the second act curtain
falls on tremendous climax in which
the hero, Godfrey, an American patriot,
hard pressed by British pursuers, escaped
through secret panel behind the old
clock, and next is seen at the brambe-
choked mouth of the secret passage,
which leads from the mansion to the
banks of the neighboring Hudson. Mr..
Howard Gould, who is the star of the
company was last seen here as Rudolf in
"The Prisoner of Zenda."
Carleton and Terre and Mr.. and Mrs.
Stuart Darrow are the only ones on the
bill at Dockstader's this week who have
played at the theatre before. The bal
ance are all new faces. The California
artists, the Breton-Runkel trio, give US a
very clever sketch this week, and Slime
and Evans in farce comedy, and
Frenchella and Lewis in a number OF
operatic selections are all above the ordi-
nary. and received liberal applause at
both performances yesterday. Ray
Burton, the famous rifle shot, Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur DEACON, illustrated song
singers, and Orange Judd, assisted by
Miss Duryea, with others, make up q
very good bill. Nothing better in the
amusement line will be found in town al

No omcers to Man ships.

The navy department is under the ne
cessity of ordering the United States
cruiser Detroit to the Portsmouth navy
yard, New Hampshire, to go out of com,
mission. In addition to this, orders have
been prepared to put the Marblehead out
of commission at Mare Island and tele-
graph orders have been sent to Admiral
Watson to send the gunboats Bennington
and Concord, now at Manila, to Los An
geles, where they will be also put out of
commission. The battleships Indiana and
Massachusetts, which have just been over
hauled at the New York navy yard, are
to be sent to League island about the first
of the month to be laid up instead of being
commissioned. This remarkable reduction
of the number of ships in commission is
ascribed at the navy department to the
lack of sufficient number of officers to
furnish compliments for the ships required
for naval purposes. The battleship Kear-
sarge has just been put in commission
and the Illinois on the Atlantic side and
the Wisconsin on the Pacific must be also
commissioned Immediately in order that
the ships can be taken over from the
hands of the contractors. There are smaller
craft like the Stringham calling for com
missions and crews. The extent of the
shortage may be suggested by the fact
that for all the four great guns in the
double turrets of the new battleship Kear-
sarge but one officer could be spared, caus-
ing great risk. The navigation bureau is
authority for the statement that there are
l6 vacancies in the naval line and the
total number of officers is really less than
1t was four years ago, notwithstanding
the increase in the number of ships.

REPUBLIC.

The record of development work for
March in Republic camp was even less
than in the month of February, which
was the lowest for the entire previous
year.
The Mountain Lion resumed work on
the drifts last month and some stopping
was done
Four hundred feet of drilling was
dome on the Spotted Horse last month
and it is probable that more than dou-
HE that amount will be run the present
month.
The Knob Hill drift was extended so
feet during March. The total amount
Of development on the mine consisting
of shaft, tunnel and drift, is about 500
feet.
The Golden Harvest had a good
month of progress. The drift was driv-
en- so feet.
There was 7S feet of drift and cross
emf run on the San Poll during the
month.
One shift drove 35 feet of drift on
the Morning Glory in the month.
The Lone Pine took second place in
development last month. The total
number of feet run was 1870. This was
divided as follows: East drift IS feet;
west drift, 80 feet; adit tunnel, 35 feet.
The tunnel on the Rebate was driven
a distance of 35 feet during March.
The accompaniment shaft on the
Silver Dollar was sunk SO feet.
There was but % feet of development
work on the Insurgent mine last month.
