POLICE TRANSFERS AUTHORIZED.
As a Result Of tho Recent Turmoil I'm
tho Department..


The police commissioners last night
held an executive session from which
the superintendent and clerk were ex-
cluded at times. At the close of the
meeting it was announced that the
board had voted to abolish the position
of wardman at the central station and
had appointed Robert p. Dunlap a de-
tective under Captain Cowles, who is at
the head of the regular detective bu-
reau., Dunlap has been wardman at the
central station since that position was
established, about two months ago.
Another announcement made by the
commissioners was that they had voted
to instruct Superintendent Wrinn to
make such transfers as he saw fit to
make for the good and efficiency of the
department The superintendent has
such power under the charter, but the
vote Of the board was evidently taken
as a result of the, investigation which
the board has recently made into the
work being done at the central station.
Only surmises can be made as to the
probable transfers which will be made
in consequence of this vote Personal
differences are known to exist between
officers high i'll the department, butlit is
possible that this fact will not influence
any transfers that may be made
The board referred to the finance
committee with power petition from
McGrath that he be allowed
nine and a half days pay for time lost
because of injuries received in the dis
charge of his duty.

BRITISH MINISTRY SUPPORTED
Amendment to Queens Speech Over
wheImingIy Defeated.

London, Feb. THE house of COM
mons tonight by a vote of 352 to 139
rejected Lord Edmund Fitzmauric6s $
amendment TO the address in reply TO
the speech from the throne, and thus
gives the government substantial sup
port, and a greater majority than at
first expected.
John Burns, radical, congratulated
the opposition upon having the cour-
age to do its duty 'uninfluenced by
newspapers owned by blackguards and
edited by ruffians who clamor for war"
He characterized it as absurd to say
that the debate would be an encourage
ment and incentive to the Beers. THE
Beers do not need an incentive" ex-
claimed Mr., Burns. This was supplied
them years ago by the blundering poll
cy of the colonial secretary, whose
speech may be fairly summarized as
follows: There is no argument for war
Therefore wave the Union Jack A few
mistakes have been committed. There
fore double your army in South Africa
And then a peroration in the language
of the pot-house and the spirit of the
prize ring" Here cries of "Order, or
der" were made. Mr. Burns-Can you
take exception to pot house?" Mr..

ceeds Go to Arch Funu.

New York, Feb. 6.--The Dewey arch
concert, called on the programmes the
Gala Concert" the entire proceeds of
which go toward the Dewey arch fund,
was success in every way. The au-
ditorium of Carnegie hall tonight was
glitter with gems and brilliant with
magnificent gowns. Well known per-
sone of New York's society We're out in
force. The hall was beautifully decor
ated with potted plants and ferns, and
on the stage the parterre of seats for
the chorus Of 125 1nen~and ITS women
was banked with ferns, palms and or
ange trees in bloom, while above all
were long rings Of myrtle and evergreen
intertwined and dependent from the
wings. There was an orchestra of six
ty-flve pieces. Owing to the absence
of Emil Paur, Walter Damrosch con-
Quoted Madame Nordica was absent
on account Of illness, but Madame De
Vere-Sapio sang the "fnfiammatus' in
her place.
The concert was sort of welcome to
Admiral Dewey and Governor Roose-
welt. both of whom were present On
the right of the house was the box re-
served for Admiral Dewey and on the
left the box for Governor Roosevelt. At
$50 o'clock the carriage containing Ad-
miral Dewey, Mrs. Dewey, George Dew
ey, the admirals son, and Lieutenant
Caldwell drove UP to Carnegie hall.
There was no applause when the ad-
miral assisted his wife from the car
riage, though there was large crowd
on the sidewalk. They walked into the
lobby and We're shown to their box al
most unnoticed. !,
Shortly after them came Governor
Roosevelt, Mr.. and Mrs. Douglass Rob-
inson and the two Misses Robinson.
Governor Roosevelt got little ap-
plause When Admiral Dewey pushed
aside the curtains of his box he was
Immediately recognized and some one
cried: ''Three cheers for Dewey" They
were given with will. The one hum
dred and seventy-1ve women in the
chorus, all dressed in white, rose and
shook their handkerchiefs. The audi
ence did the same. Just then Governor
Roosevelt pushed aside the curtains of
his box He was given three cheers.
All through the performance there
were many callers at the boxes of the
Deweys and Roosevelts. Admiral Dewey
often left his box to walk in the lobby.
After the rendition of the Manila te
Deum," composed by Walter Dam
rosch in honor of the victory at Ma
Mia, which was led by Nine. Gadski,
Governor Roosevelt appeared on the
platform. He was received with cheers.

LONDON REVIEW OF WAR.
Roberts Issues u MaMifesto--No News of
Builer-Troops Rushing Forward.

London, Feb 7.-4:20 a. m.-Lord
Roberts has caused to be distributed
in the towns bordering upon the invad-
ed colonial territory an invitation to
Free Staters and Transvaalers to go
into the desert, offering them good
treatment and a restoration to their
farms on the British occupation of re-
publican territory.
The manifesto guarantees that those
bringing horses can sell them The
farmers will have their passages paid
to Europe. Colonial rebels are advised
to surrender in preference to being TAX
en- pisoners.'
Not word has been received from
the correspondents with General Buller
for three days. 1t is as though Natal
had been wiped off the map, excepting
the heiogram from Ladysmith say
ing that the Beers are cannonading and
that fighting is going on"
1t appears that General French's Wis
it to Cape Town was to ask Lord Rob-
erts for 1000 more men. Whether he
got them or not was not disclosed.
Troops are no longer detained at Cape
Town. They proceed to some point at
the front and 5000 dlsembarked Monday
and were quickly sent ELSEWHERE. NO
public reception was given to the ar
irving volunteers at Cape Town, be-
cause they had to leave Immediately.
AS Lord Roberts, since the battle Of
Spion Kop, has had 10000 fresh troops
to dispose of, it is probable that some
have gone to General Butler. Lord
Methuen Is said to have disbanded
Remingtons s scouts, one of the most
useful colonial commands, because he
had ascertained that some members of
the corps had been communicating with
the ROerS.

London, Feb. 6-Tn the house of
commons to-day, replying to question
of John Dillon, nationalist, as to wheth-
er the government intended to treat
foodstuffs as contraband of war, and
if so, under what restrictions and limi-
tations, A. ]. Balfour, the government
leader, said that foodstuffs, as such,
had never been considered contra band
by Great Britain. But, he added, food
stuffs intended to supply an army in
the field were by the universal consent
of international lawyers, regarded as
and prize court would de-
eide the facts connected with the ship
ments. Asked if the government in
tended to direct cruisers to seize all
cargoes for Lorenzo Marquee until their
character was determined by prize
court, Mr. Balfour declined to make
any statement in this connection.

DEFENSE In MOLINEUX CASE
THE UNEXPECTED PROCEDUHE or
ATTORNEY WEEKS.
Rests Upon the Case Made by tho Prosc-
cutton-His Summing Up-Attempt.
Ing to Fnsten Suspicion ON Cornish-
VIII Probably Consume All of To-da
I'm His Argument.

New York, Feb. 6.-The unexpected
happened to-day in the trial Of Roland
b. Molineux for the murder Of Mrs.
Katherine J. Adams, and the defense
rested upon the case made by the PROS
ecution without the examination of N
single witness. After a number Of mo.
tlons in which Mr.. Weeks asked the
court to strike out certain testimony In
troduced by the state, most of which
motions We're denied by Recorder Goff.
the attorney for the defense proceeded
with an analysis of the evidence already
introduced and now before the court.
Perhaps the most important, the most
sensational and the most telling tfrusts
We're made when Mr.. Weeks referred to
Harry s. Cornish. The attorney for the
defendant appeared willing to take up
the challenge thrown down by the as
sistant district attorney in his inferen-
tial inquiries of IF Molineux didn't do
1T, who did?" Mr.. Weeks pointed out
that it had been proved that Cornish
passed the general postofflce on the
Broadway side at $3.50 p m. on the day
when the poison package is alleged to
have been sent to his address at the
Knickerbocker A. C.
He called attention to the fact that
=
silver toilet articles on the dressing
table i'm the rooms of Mrs. Rogers, the
daughter Of the dead woman, the rooms
where Cornish resided He also brought
out the point that there had been no
medical attendance for Cornish, though
the physical director of the Knicker-
booker "A. c. claimed to have swallowed
portions Of the poison which killed Mrs.
Adams. Captain McClusky's statement
to Cornish after hearing his story, Well,
you have got to find the man who sent
that poison package to you," was taken
as the text for another attack upon that
During the afternoon Mr..
Weeks called to the attention Of the
jury the fact that Cornish In making q
copy Of the Harpster letter in court had
misspelled Harpster in the Identical way
In which twas misspelled In the Origf-
nal Harpster letter. He also alta cked
In the severest terms the handwriting
experts and the proprietors Of the pri-
vate letter boxes.
A few minutes before five o'clock Mr..
Weeks asked for an adjournment, ex-
planning that his voice was giving out.
This was granted, Mr.. Weeks saying
that he would probably require all Of
tomorrow to complete his summing up.

ENEMY'S COUNTRY NO MORE
BRYAN CHANGES HIS MIND ABOUT
NEW ENGLAND.
Took Back In Bridgedort Last Night
During His Flight Through New Eng
land That 1t Is No Longer True-Rc-
ceives a Great Ovation in The Park
city.

Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. 6.-Colonel
William Jennings Bryan at IL o'clock
tonight finished the work for which
his New England trip now ended, was
undertaken and with the days speeches
in Connecticut the Nebraskan aban-
dons New England probably not to re-
turn during the campaign of 1900 To
days work was exceedingly hard on
the orator for he delivered two long
addresses in Connecticut. This after
room in Hartford he addressed an au-
dience Of 1900 persons. He took oc-
casion to rap the knuckles of the insur-
ance and manufacturing capitalists of
the capital city, 'the splendidly wealthy
city of Hartford" as he put 1T.
At the theater in Bridgeport there
were early evidences that part Of the
city was Bryan mad. The orator had
barely been whirled from his train to
the residence of his host before wild
rush began for the hall where he was
to hold forth. Fairfield avenue, where
the Park City theater is located, was
ccngested an hour and half before
the hour for the address. Traffic of all
kinds was blocked Over 1000 persons
were turned away from the theater.
The chairman of the meeting, Hon.
Daniel Davenport, introduced the ora
tor Mr.. Bryan was compelled to wait
for some moments for the storm of ap-
plause to subside.
He opened his address as follows: Il
want to take back something I once
said. 1t was true at the time, to be
sure, but it is not true now, for the
meetings which I have addressed in
New England during the last few days
have convinced me of this fact Early
in the campaign of 1896, upon leaving
Nebraska for the east I remarked joe
ularly that I was going into the enc
my's country. Again / say I want to
take that back. New England is no
longer the enemys country" A taunt
or two at "self-ascribed wisdom" for
the east and Mr.. Bryan settled down to
a discussion of his theories. He pointed
with pride to the achievements of his
party in his home state of Nebraska,
and incidentally announced himself as
sure that New England would NOT go:
in 1900 so preponderously republican
as 1t did in '96."
= In his discussion Of the income tax
Mr.. Bryan said: 1--WE propose to fight
for an income tax until the constitution
of the United States is so amended as
to prevent any one judge of the SUI
preme court or any nine judges from
building a legal bulwark around the
rich and thrusting the burden of gov
ernment upon the shoulders Of the
poor"
Turning abruptly from this topic he
at great length that the
money question" is not dead, and urg-
ed the familiar theories. 'The trusts"
and imperialism followed for treat
ment. The address occupied over two
and half hours
The orator was given an ovation as
he left the theater by throngs who lined
the streets. AS he proceeded to the
house of his host, Commodore Mcneil, |
he was followed by a cheering crowd |
Tomorrow at his convenience the |
westerner will leave Bridgeport for
New York. |

GEN. METHUEN ACTIVE AGAIN


Gen. Macdonald With 1000 Troops Oc-
cupies KoppIcs Dam Commanding
Road to KimberIey--A Junction of
BOer Forces Prevented-BulIer StilI in
Eclipse Fighting Reported at Lady
smith.
London, Feb. 1.-THE Standard has re-
ceived the following despatch dated
Monday, February 5, from Koppies
Dam:
General Macdonald, with a brigade
of infantry, regiment of Lancers and
one battery has reached here from
Modder River camp in what is regarded
as an important movement to the right
of the Beers position at Magersfontein.
"Koppies Dam commands the roads
from Kimberley to Hopetown and
Douglas. The Boer laagers at Kamul
Hoek and Griquatown are within strik-
ing distance.
"The arrival of General MacDonald's
column was opportune, as 1T just pre-
vented two large commanders effecting
a junction He now holds both banks
of the river. Our Lancers had two
brushes with the Boer patrols. There
is great activity among the enemy, and
strong forces are concentrating to op-
pose our further advance. The troops
suffered from heat and scarcity of water
during the march,
General Macdonald has with him A.,
900 infantry, cavalry and artillery. The
importance of his move is that it
threatens the Beers right flank at
Magersfontein. This is the first sign of
activity on the part of Lord Methuen
for some weeks, and doubtless has rela-
tion to the movements of the British
further east.

Big Fire in TampicO.

Tampico, Maxico. Feb. 6.-Last night
fire broke out in the mercantile house
of Vallez Lopez and Abascal, consum-

tween $SOO,OOO and $1,OOO,oOO, partially
