SAYS THE ASSESSORS AND JURY DUTY HOLD
RICH MEN IN CHECK

The Central Republican Club. at No. 1o1 West
One hundred twenty -seventh-st., addressed
at its semimonthly meeting last night by Deputy
Attorney General Job e. Hedges. Mr.. Hedges con-
fined himself almost entirely to criticism of Tam
many Hall, and said that Mayor Van Wyck had
never done anything that he could approve of. He
said in part:
Tammany is aggregation of gentlemen met for
the mutual financial benefit of themselves. They
control 1900 votes in NewYork, and they can
change them at a moments notice. Such a S1tua-
ton ton as that is public menace and situation Of
this kind is without law order. The first
class citizens hire Carnegie Hall and the Metro
poltan Opera House and make speeches; twenty
four hours later they quiet. The reason for
this Is that they seen by the assessors. The
assessors tell them that there has been some mis-
take in their estimation of their taxation. and
that they have not been assessed to their full value
They then worried by larger valuations, and
in many cases have to make calls at the Con-
trollers office TO adjust them. The last stage of
the reasons for silence of these men is the jury.
They are placed on the turies. and never after
ward speak of the vice and crime in the city.
In Congress more time is spent in legislation for
the dredging of canals in the West than In get
ting smokeless powder and having people killed in
the Spanish and Filipino wars. In spite of Tam
many New-Y Yor< is the grea test city in the world
There is more virtue and more vice here than in
other city.

settle the pending question in a way different
from that adopted by Mr.. Mckinley, Mr. Allen
rose and protested against making political

"Of course" retorted Mr.. Spooner sarcastical-
ly, Il am willing to receive lessons in pohtica
etiquette from the Senator from Nebraska.

Identified with a scheme to acquire claims
to a vast amount of mining property in
the islands in collision with three Span
iards.
Although the matter has been in HE
War Department for fully two months,
no action has been taken aud none Is
probable
The statement is made that the charge
is too vague and indefinite TO warrant any
enquiry. and that il is merely mentioned
Incidentally by Lieutenant Burrist and was
not made as Z specific accusation. The
matter has never been reported officially
to the State Department
Consul Williams Is not now in the serv-
ice. his duties having terminated when the
Peace Treaty with Spain was proclaimed.
He Is now at his home in Syracuse, N Y.
ard officials state that i is difficult to see
what ca be done in case specific charge
is made
The intimation that Mr.. Williams was
in any way guilty OF such an offence is
indignantly condemned by the State De-
paTtment, where the statement is made to-
day that he was in every way a thorough
" honest and trustworthy official and that
his affairs were properly conducted.
