THE FIGHT AGAINST PAYN.
GOVERNORS PLAN To PREVENT SENATOR
PLATT FROM TERRORIZING PRO
POSED CANDIDATES.

Albany. Jan. g (SpeciaD.-The contest over the
partment had new phase given 1t to-day by
the statement of Governor Roosevelt that he
might not nominate any man for the position
who had been cOnspicuousy mentioned pos
sbly his choice for 1t. This statement was gen
orally interpreted as adverse to Charles T. Sax
ton, who has unquestionaby been the leading
candidate for the place for several days past.
The result of the Governors indicating any
preference thus far for any Republican has been
that at once this person has been subjected to
pressure from members of Senator Platt's
ganizatiOn to decline the Governors proffer.
Senator Platt being resolved that Mr.. Payn
shall be retained in office. One prominent Re
publican after another has thus been forced out
of the contest although there is no evidence
that Mr. Saxton has thus been compelled to re-
tire
1t is hinted now that the Governor will reserve
the name of the man he has selected even from
the man himself until the nomination is sub
mitted to the Senate. This at least will deprive
Senator Platt's organization of a chance to
'bulldoZe" the candidate selected into declining
the Governors offer of the place. 1t is possible
that the Governor will obtain pledge from four
or five Republicans of their willingness to have
their names submitted to the Senate and then
make his selection on the day he sends a
name in.
1t reported to-day that Governor Roose-
welt had added the name of James NJ Varnum,
eX-Surrogate of New York, TO the list of those
he is considering. A. z. Baxter, Clerk of the
Assembly, was also mentioned for the position.

NO FEAR OF A sWEEPERS' STRIKE.
THE MEN ASK THAT THE GRAND JURY

THE MEN ASK THAT THE GRAND JURY
LOOK INTO THEIR GRIEVANCES.
Formal charges were presented yesterday to the
District Attorney against Street Cleaning Commits
sioner James Mccartney by sweepers and drivers OF
his Department, who declare that the eight hour
law has been constantly violated. and that they
made work ten and twelve hours day. A re-
quest that the charges be presented to the Grand
Jury was made. A copy of the charges will be sent
to Corporation Counsel Whalen for opinion
whether the Street Cleaning Department comes un-
der the eight hour law.
This action the upshot of a meeting of the
Street Cleaners Union Sunday. The men say
that the waterproof uniform they compelled to
wear costs them 81 80 each, but is not worth more
than 81 20. The men declare that the eight hour
law must be enforced a strike will result. There
are four thousand men in the Street Cleaning De
partment.
The rumor revived yesterday that Mr.. Nc
Cartney was about to resign, but Captain Gibson,
the Deputy Commissioner said that he Mr..
Mccartney on Sunday. and the Commissioner as
sured his deputy that he had no idea of resigninB.
Captain Gibson said he had no fear or STRIKE.

eight hour law. AS for the complaint about wa

PASTOR REMUNERATED.
DIR. BUSHNELL RECEIVES A SUBSTAN-
TIAL CONSIDERATION ON RETIR-
ING FROM THE MADISON
AVENUE CHURCH.

The Rev. DR.. John E. Bushnell, whose resig-
nation from the Madison Avenue Presbyterian
Church was read Sunday, did not retire from
the copastorate of the church, where he was as
sociated with the Rev. DR.. Howard Agnew John
ston, without a substantial financial considera-
tion. The exact amount which the Madison
ave. congregation is to pay Dr. Bushnell could
not be learned yesterday, but a Tribune re-
porter was informed by a man conversant with
the affairs of the church that it would approx
mate two years salary. 1t is said that Dr. Bush
nell did not insist the payment of any sum.
but it was conceded by all the trustees that it
was expecting good deal of him 70 retire with
out any consideration, inasmuch as it is his
former church that is to stand and become the
home OF the congregation with which his con-
gregation was consolidated while the Madison
Avenue Presbyterian Church. at F'ifty-third-st.,
is for sale, and will doubtless never be occupied
by Presbyterian congregation after 1t is va
Gated by the congregation now occupying it. A
mortgage Of 100000 was placed the Madi-
son-ave. property some time ago. and the money
is being used to remodel the Phillips Presby-
terian Church. whose house of worship is at
Seventy thrd-st. There were two strong rea-
for choosing the Seventy -thrd-st. church
permanent field for the united congrega-
tions. The donor of the site for the Phillips
Church stipulated that the property should go to
the Bible Society If it ceased to be used as
Presbyterian church. The other reason was that
the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, at Fifty
fifth-st., was likely to dwarf its neighbor at
Madison-ave and Fifty -third-st., If that site
were kept. These two things some time ago
prompted the consolidation of the congregations.
When DR.. Bushnell seen last night at his
house, No. 13S East Seventy-first-st., he said:
prefer to say nothing about the financial
ranGement. 1t is still under advisement. My
former congregation is feeling badly about the
severance Of our relations. Some of them did
not quite understand what the outcome would
be when consolidation of the two congregations
was effected and they feel like protesting.
There might have been dissension If the
rangement OF having two pastors had been con-
tinued, and that the main reason why re-
