GREATER NEW YORK,
Many Radical Changes In the Charter
Recommended by the Revision
Committee.

NEW YORK, Oct. s--should the
charter Of New York City be amended
In line with the views OF the revision
committee appointed by Governor
Roosevelt. there win be a radical
change In the local government of
greater New York
The commission viii meet today TO
discuss and pass upon the work ot the
several subcommittee, II Is said on
good authority that the members of the
commission with two exceptions are a
unit uron all questions and that the
radical changes suggested by the sub
committees will De sent to Governor
Roosevelt before December l with the
approval of the commission, the minor
ity agreeing to sign the report.
The main proposal Is 10 give each
borough self government In the man
agerent of street Cleaning. police, fire,
street lighting. Involved In this Is the
suggestion that the heads OF these de-
partments shall be appointed by the
presidents OF the several horoughs. thus
giving local home rule In broad sense
to the voters OF each subdivision OF
the city.
Under this arrangement the taNpay-
ers would be able to hold their local
officials. not ;he mayor, responsible,
but the change also would have far
reaching effect In n political issue.
There is unanimity on the proposition
to abolish the municipal assembly and
10 have more councilmen. There Is to
be a board OF aldermen composed OF
two men from each assembly district
in greater New York or. In all, lS0
aldermen.
The revision commission will bring
in plan TO suhdlvide the assembly
districts by election Of aldermen and
so bring the men chosen as near 10 the
people as possible. The revision COM
mittee thinks that man representing
about three thousand voters win be
reasonably responsive 10 public sem
timent in nearly all districts of the
city. The aldermen will be elected
every two years and the question OF
salary Is not yet settled. They will
have n large measure OF legislative
power.
1t Is estimated that the names Of 1000
Office holders will De Topped or and
nearly $4,000. 900 a year will be saved
in salaries. should all the proposed
amendments 10 the charter prevail.
The plan for borough home rule and
the creation OF one hundred and twenty
aldermen are the really radical pro-
posed changes.

RELIEF SCHOONER LOST,
Lily OF the North Goes to Pieces or
the Labrador Coast.


NEW YORK, Oct 2.--Herbert L.
Bridgeman, OF Brooklyn, has received
a letter from Russell w. Porter OF
Springfield. Vermont concerning the
loss OF the Peary relief schooner. the
Lily OF the North. which was briefly
reported IN a dispatch from st. Johns,
N. F.. recently. MIR. Porter who was
the leader OF the hunting party on the
Peary steamship Diana in 1899. writes:
Captain Samuel Bartlett's schooner.
the Lily Of the North, left Halifax,
July 20, with four passengers aboard:
Cornelius Hawkins; Westhall Bervien, Of
Fail River: my niece, Miss Marsh, and
myself. We were 1--WE days getting to
Sydney, Then my niece and lett
them, returning to Boston.
Il received a few DAYS ago a long let
ter from Hawkins, who gave out the
following news:
The Lily had met calms. gales and
head winds all the way down the Lab
rador coast and near Main the party
began to despair OF getting to Jensen
that summer. They heard often the
expression--a stock saying to Arctic
veterans-that the oldest inhabitants
had never seen such a season OF ice
So the sportsmen went inland hunting
and. returning In about a week. found
that the Lily had laid her bones q
day or two previous on Black island,
thirty miles from Main; had dragged
her anchor in a gale and bumped her
keel on and gone TO pieces, losing
most OF her cargo.
Nov Just draw a picture Of Jen-
sen waiting at the Baffin Land
station for help and news OF the
busy world. and know his despair;
another year facing him; no civilized
food. no coal; in fact another year Of
savagery in order to keep alive.
think his case is more pitiable, for such
a state of affairs should never have
happened in the first place. Hawkins
and Borden took the mail steamer and
went on to Ramah, quite far north for
the mail boats to go. within ninety
miles Of Cape Chidley. and returned to
st. Johns on her
The Jensen referred to in the letter
Is in charge OF whaling station at
Cane Mercy, In Bafiin Land, to which
the Lily of the North was bound, and
he is the only white man attached to
that place. The Peary expedition Of
1897 brought out a large amount OF
whale oil and bone collected by Jensen,
who in a storm OF the previous winter
nearly perished. He was brought back
10 Roston. where he was restored to
health, and the following summer he
returned to the whaling station.

OVATION AT LINCOLN.
Greatest Demonstration Of Roosevelfs
Journey Accorded Him at the
Home OF Bryan.

LINCOLN. Neb.. Oct 2.-For some
days preparations have been made for
a monster demonstration in honor OF
Governor Roosevelt at this place, the
home OF Bryan.
The census just taken gives Lincoln
a population OF 10000. From the ap-
pearance Of the crowd al the station
and along the streets and In the win
dows. on the balconies and In the capl-
tai house yards, Il would seem that
the population was all at home today;
that they had invited their neighbors
from all the surrounding country and
that they had all turned out to join in
the demonstration.
Nothing equal TO II has yet been
seen during the progress OF his Jour
ney. which has now extended some 5000
miles and covered a period OF thirty
days.

WANT AMERICAN COAL.
One Of the Largest Deals on Record
to Supply British Steamships
and Railroads.

FROM THE MINES
The Bristol.

The slump in the iron ore
market struck Crystal Falls with
u vengeance during the week
when seventy employees at the
Bristol mine were paid off
and let go, reducing the force
now at work at the property to
about thirty men. While the
lay-off is regretted it was not
unexpected owing to the stagna.
ton in the ore market and the
grade Of the ore mined at this
property. The ore is not Of a
very desirable quality owing to
some of its ingredients and
when q slackening came in the
demand it is but natural that the
undesirable ores should be the
first To feel the effects Tho
Bristol is o big mine and as the
workings are carried down the
grade OF the ore gets better so
that the operators look hopeful
ly to the future. The hosting
will all be done by the day shift
and we understand that the
present force will be continued
throughout the season, % fact for
which we are very thankful.
That tho company has faith in
the future Is evidenced by the
fact that they are continuing
development work and when the
demand arises again it will be
an easy matter 70 get out all the
ore that is called for.

Mr.. George Mas has found

There is a very heavy Gaping
Of sand and boulders, it exceed
ing POO feet in thickness. Mr..
Mas is very much pleased at
the showing made on the prop
erty by the drill. and he is
deserving OF much credit for his

money He has worked hard

now that the ore has been found.
Is not yet decided upon, but some
Of the big corporations will
probably be given Q chance 10
carry the work further. just
now there is a lull in tho iron
business which makes it more
difficult TO engage capital than a
few months since. but there are
several who will probably be
glad 10 get chance at this loca-
ton. 1t is most promising
field, and the diamond drilling
suggests that it is we'll worth
taking hold of by those who are
looking for ores Of high grade.
