FIRST OF HOBOKEN CHANGES
City Clerk..McDermott Retired
and License Inspector
Haggerty Appointed.

Verification of the rumors referred to
already in .The News of the numerous
political changes about due in Hoboken,
was furnished at the meeting of the
Common Council yesterday afternoon
when City Clerk Martin v. McDermott
was retired and License Inspector John
Haggerty appointed to succeed him. Hag-
gerty will assume control of the office
May i at the regular salary of $500 per
annum.
McDermott has been City Clerk of Ho-
boken since 1887 and his retirement is TAX
en- as a forerunner of numerous others to
be announced soon.
Various reasons are given for his fall
from favor McDermott has always pro-
fessed Democracy, but he has not been
an ardent enough party man of late years
to suit the leaders. Haggerty, on the
other hand, stands well in with party
Democrats generally and the bestowal OF
the appointment on him has been hailed
with favor The change has occasioned
little surprise or comment.
Haggerty served one term as assistant
to the City Clerk and he will experience
no difficulty in assuming immediate con-
troll of the office.
The Council before adjourning received
a communication from Mayor Lawrence
Fagan recommending the reappointment
of James Dollard in the Commission OF
Assessment of Taxes. The communica-
ton was referred.

THE cHARcELLoRSHlP.
The Tribune" Regards Magie's APP
uointment as a Certainty.

The Tribune says.-The appointment
of Chief Justice William ]. Magic as
Chancellor, to succeed the late Alexander
T. A1cGill, is regarded as a certainty, ana
speculation is rife as to Justice Magies $
successor. The choice lies between JUS
tiees Depue, Gummere and Collins. JUS
tice Depue is about seventy-four years
old, and has beer thirty-four years on the
Supreme bench. Justice Gummere s
forty-eight years old, and has been
Supreme Justice for five years. Justice
Collins is fifty-four years old, and has
been a Supreme Justice for three years.
J. Franklin Fort, Law Judge in Essex
county, who has made a marked record,
is sure, it is said, of succeeding the JUS
tice who shall be appointed Chief Justice.
For Judge Forts present place, if vacated,
several names are mentioned. 1t had
been taken for granted that Joseph E.
Mann, the County Counsel, would be
chosen, but yesterday, in Newark, the
name of Robert H. McCarter was extern
siyely canvassed. A number of lawyers
urged the appointment upon Mr.. McCar-
ter. and it was said that he had expressed
willingness TO serve. AS Judge Fort
was reappointed last winter for term of
seven years, his successor would have
nearly a full term to serve.

CASE OF FRANCIS WEEKS.
District Attorney Recommends Dis
missaI of Indictments.

NEW YORK, April rs, 1900.-Four indict-
ments still remain against Francis ii.
Weeks, a prominent lawyer and clubman,
who in 1898 was sentenced to six years
and six months in Sing Sing for defraud-
ing estates for which he was executor, out
of a sum exceeding a million dollars.
Weeks was sentenced on one of five in
dictments and Assistant District Attor-
ney Townsend has filed a recommendation
for the dismissal of the four remaining in
dictments Weeks's term will expire next
month The request of the District At
torneys office was taken under advise
ment by Judge Foster.
Weeks's principal business was to act as
executor for large estates, and when ar
rested there were fifty-four wealthy es-
tates in his hands. These estates he was
alleged to have defrauded out of the as
tonishing sum Of $1,970000. When publicity
came Weeks fled to San Jose, Costa Rica,
where he was later arrested and brought
back for trial on five indictments for
grand larceny in the first degree. To one
of these he pleaded guilty, employing no
counsel but conducting his own case. The
technical charge on which he was sem
fenced was that of grand larceny in de-
frauding the estate of Mrs. Clemence 5.

mETHUEN NOT CRITICISED.
Wyndham Denied that Roberts
Made Any Comment.
TBy cable to The Associated Press.l


LONDON, April 26. 1sO0.-The House of
Commons reaseembsed this afternoon. Mr..
James Lowther, Conservative, was heart
lily cheered when he gave notice that he
would call attention, May %, to Lord
Roberts recent Spion Kop dispatches and
moved the production of further papers on
the subject.
Mr.. George Wyndham, Parliamentary
Secretary Of the War Office, replying to
questions, declared Lord Roberts had
made no comment whatever on General
Lord Methuen's Magersfontein operations
Neither he continued did Lord Roberts
dispatches indicate that the advance was
either retarded or modified by the scarcity
of remounts. AT the same time, the Sec
retarv declared 1t was true that the eX-
penditure of horse flesh had exceeded all
The estimates and that the War ONCE
had Invariably exceeded the requisitions
from South Africa.
handicapped the authorities, but already
this year they had sent out 2l,04l horses
and 17,143 mules as remounts, in addl-
tion to those accompanying the troops,
and by the end of May the remounts
delivered would number 1900 horses and
%, 900 mules. Steps had also been taken
to supply the necessary roll1ng-stock LOT
the railroads. But, as far as the Gov
ernnent was aware, the military PROD
lem before Lord Roberts had not turned
on the question of remounts or rolllng-
stock but on the tact that Lord \ Ropefts
had shifted his base from Cape Town to
Bloemfontein, thus necessftating the re-
capturing and repair of the railroad and
the clearing of the line of communica-
+ions for a distance of $50 miles on
single track with a rise of 4,50o feet.
Regarding the relief of Mafeking,
which, Mr. Wyndham asserted, all had at
heart, the secretary SAID the House use
be aided by divulging the objective OF any
of Lord Roberts forces.
