THE THIRD AVENUE ROAD.
Metropolitan Interests Anxious to
Secure Immediate Control.


NEW YORK. March 22.-Herbert II.
Vreeland, President of all the surface
railroads in Manhattan and the Bronx;
Thomas F. Ryan, one of the five principal
owners OF all the surface railr lads of
which Mr.. yreeland is president, ana
Hugh J. Grant receiver OF the Third Ave
nue. Railroad had a conference in Mr..
Grants office this afternoon When the
conference was over none of the three
thought the public would be Interested in
what happened. One of the directors of
the Third Avenue road, however. explained
to q certain extent what the railroad men
had been talking about. He said that
scheme was afoot to get control Of the
Third Avenue without waiting for all the
judicial action now pending He added:
What the Metropolitan people want is
to get into actual control of their newly
acquired properties as soon as possible.
II. for instance. all the creditors of the
road could be got together and brought to
an agreement on a scheme submitted by
the Metropolitan folks for paying all the
claims, why, everybody would be satisfied
and no objection would be made to mo-
ton to the court to discharge the receiver.
The metropolitan people will come into
control OF all the Third Avenue properties
much sooner than most folk generally
imagine. How long before this will hap
pen do not care to say but if you were
to guess that it would be less than
month do not think your guess would be
far out of the way"
From another source it was learned that
the real reason why the Metropolitan peo-
pie are in hurry TO get control OF the
Third Avenue system is that they want TO
finish certain improvements now in prog
TesS as quickly possible.
Much less excitement attended the trad
ing in Third Avenue shares today than on
the two days previous. but the fluctuations

We are greatly edited in learning that
the trust family trouble. which broke out
last month between the phllanthropic and
Tious Mr.. Carnegie and his partner, Mr..
Henry Clay Prick, has been settled out OF

posing their differences, very black cloud

We believe that better way could be sug-
gcsted dian to govern Porto Rico as a Territory.
Being a TerrNory does not necessarily give tie
right OF admission 10 the Union. a. that is al
ways question of discretion with Congress and
the President but there Is every reason why Porto
Rico should be recognized American Terri
tors which would leave 1t under the direct govern
neut Of Congress. Congress has supreme aIi-
thority over even the statues OF a Territorial
government. In instance Congress repealed
at one swoop, nearly all the enacimeuts Of the
Territory OF Montana. and the power Of Congress
to repeal or revise Territorial legislation Is IN

There would seem to be just a chance
OF bloodshed in kentucky today when
the persons under arrest as accessories
to the murder of Governor GOebel are to
have a preliminary examination in Frank
fort. 1t is reported that a band of
mountain banditu is expected at the
capital and that its purpose is to rescue
the prisoners. Accordingly General Cas-
tleman will have some State troops on
hand to preserve order. AS far as ap-
pearances go the Republican party in
Kentucky is united in determination
that none OF the assassius of the late
Governor Goebel shall be punished.

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

He Didn't Speak.-'Where is the dis
tinguished junior Senator from Indiana,
who offered a free trade amendment and
who was to address the Senate on that
question today q 2Where is he now? l
dom see him in this chamber. Where is
he. l say?" This anxious enquiry was
made yesterday aft ernoon by Senator Al
len just before the Senate went into exec
utive session. "a, Many a grave Senator
smiled. and many a neck in the galleries
was craned in an effort to get glimpse
OF the distinguished Junior Senator from
Indiana. But Senator Beveridge had YAM
oosed He was scheduled for speech on
his free trade amendment to the Porto
Rican bill. but Wednesday night he con-
cluded to withhold his few remarks for
more propitious time The fact seems to be
that Senator Beveridge will not make the
promised speech at all He is said to
have received brief but impertinent tel
egram yesterday morning from the land OF
the Hoosier, reading thus: Don't wobbie
like Mckinley" Now. not patriotic cit
lien of the Republic who got wind OF the
telegram yesterday at the Capitol dared
put an Interpretation upon it. None ven
tured even to consult a dictionary TO learn
the definition of the strange word 'wob-
bit DIS uSeu IN TINS cOnntCliOH. II Ndo
generally agreed that nobody but Hoosier
would ever use the word in sentence
containing the Presidents name. Plainly
the context indicates that the sender OF
the telegram means to imply that the
President has ''wobbleG." And II the
President has "wobbled'' why should not
Senator have the privilege of ''wob-
bling" il he wants to? Yet it is thought
the uncouth Hooser who sent the tele-
gram did so out of spirit of kindness to-
ward Senator Beveridge. But the Senator
has not wobbled nor is 1t believed that
he desires TO wobble. His free trade reso-
luton is a matter of record upon the cal
endar of the Senate. and there is 10
thought of expunging II. At the same time
1t is conceded that the distinguished Sen
ator is privileged to postpone his speech
on the resolution. He has not abandoned
his intention of delivering his speech. 1t
is his privilege to postpone his speech I'M
Ill Congress adjourns and then deliver it
on the stump when the campaign opens.
Or. il he is minded he can hold IL over
until the time comes for the HOLSTERS to
elect his successor. and then he can spring
II upon his opponents TO their dismay
and the delight of his admirers. Whatever
may be thought OF it by envious minds. it
is not doubted that the Bevcrdge speech
will keep until such time as he sees fit
to deliver il.

SEEN AND HEARD AT THE CAPITOL

Many visitors to- the Capitol yesterday
were disappointed by the failure OF Sena-
tor Beverage to deliver the speech foT
which he had given notice When the SEN
ate convened the galleries contained a
good-sized audience. the greater part of
which was there In expectation of listening
TO an oratorial effort on the part of the
young lndianan. As time went By. how
ever, it gradually became evident that the
speech was not to be delivered and the
visitors left one by one until when the Sen
ate adjourned there were very few remain
ing in the galleries.
Mr.. Payne, the majority leader on the
floor of the House. has a peculiar manner
of using his hands while he walks. He
turns his palms to the rear, and swings his
digits from the wrist as though he were
padding his way through water and SWIM

watched Mr. Payne walk heavily across the
floor padding his hands in a floundering
fashion, said He walks like walrus-
Two members of the French Embassy
occupied seats in the Senate diplomatic
gallery yesterday during tine discussion
of the Porto Rican Relief bill and were at
tentive observers Of the proceedings. They
seemed to be especially interested in the
attack made by Senator Bacon upon the
conference report on the bill.
Senator Mason appeared on the Senate
floor yesterday with boutonniere OF
bright red carnations. which were fas-
tened SO high up on the lapel Of his coat
that they were very near to his face. The
,aI To
beam even more than usual and his ex-
pansivc smile to be unusually broad. but
whether or not this was due in part to
his floral adornment was hard to deter
mine. A group OF Senators were standing
in the marble room when Senator Mason
first appeared and hearty laugh was
caused when one of them jokingly re-
marked, BE 1t ever so red. no flower can
hope to rival the color of Billy Mason's

Mr.. Jet OF Illinois, who is one of the
most affable and hard working members
of the House, dresses in the statesman

is low cut, revealing large triangle OF

down variety, and he wears carelessly
arranged cravat Of soft texture. His hair
is long and jetty black. and his face IS
always fresh shaver.
Very few men in, Congress have been SO
often interrupted in the course of a single
speech as was Mr.. Loud in presenting the
bill to regulate second class mail matter
whish after three days of debate was re-
committed yesterday to the committee
from which it was reported. Mr.. Loud was
scarcely permitted to make simple state
ment of fact without one or more members
rising and saying. IF would like to ask the

There is something almost ominous in
the fact that the labor troubles of the
Presidential season should first break out
in the home city of Manager Hanna. 1t
cannot be denied that there are unpleas-
ant signs of widespread strikes to come
next summer Whether such disturbances
will help or hurt the Republican rropa-
ganda We are not prepared to say; but
they viii certainly render it more costly
than il otherwise might be.

4 Short-Livcd BoOm.-The shortest
Vice Presidential boom on record-and
this is season OF such booms-was that
of Governor Voorhees, OF New Jersey.
The Governors admirers spread broad
cast over the State at the beginning of
the current week circulars calling the
faithful to present themselves at Eliza
beth promptly at O'Clock Saturday
evening prepared to enthuse over lin
for Mr.. McKinley's running mate. Nearly
the entire Jersey contingent in Wash
ington was commanded to show up at
the appointed time and place. including
Attorney General Griggs. Senators Sewell
and Kean and Representatives Parker,
Fowler, and Stewart. And now the news
comes from New Jersey that those who
launched the project are busily engaged
in keeping their identity concealed.
Wf-o put the quietus upon the movement
is not known. Nor is il known who is
now trying to conslgp it to total oblivion.
All that is known about the affair is that
for two days the denizens of Jersey were
disturbed and affrighted by low rumb-
ling noise, which upon investigation was
found 10 be a Voorhees, Vice Presidential
boom. Attorney General Griggs is sus-
pected: but it is said that he denies even
that he had any knowledge that a boom
for Voorhees, was contemplated. let alone
raging through the marshes OF New Jer
sey. Neither Senators Sewell nor Kean
will talk about it. and when the
omniscient Mark Hanna is approached en-
the subject he only snifiles and walks
calmly away Col. Henry c. Payne has

a week or so and it Is recalled that he

Payne launched a Vice Presidential boom

that Colonel Payne WIS both the maker
and the undoer of the Voorhees, boom.
Why? Simply because Colonel Payne has
to keep himself busy. Also because he
wanted to see whether it Is easy to
puncture a boom as IL is TO initiate il.
Still. since it is customary to lay every
thing these days good, bad. and indiffer-
emit on Mr.. Hanna il is insisted by Ger
tain suspicious people that he alone was
responsible for the death of the BOOM and
that the record will never show who

AN OFFER TO PORTUGAL.
Money rendered With Which t
Cancel the Geneva Award.

NEW YORK, March 22.-The following
| letter was sent to the yiscount de SantO-
Thyrso, Portuguese Minister In Washing
ton. today by George W Van Sicklen. ad-
vocate in America for the Transyaal. and
President of the American Rad of the
South African Republics:
Dear Sir: am in a position to offer to you As
! do. 10 lend the Government Of Portugal the sum
necessary to pay the award known the DelagOa
Bay award which has Just been made by the
Geneva Arbitration Tribunal. say. six million
collars $1,000 O0D fair and satisfactory terms
20 be arranged. Awaiting your pleasure | remain,
yours respectfully,
GEORGE ". VAN. SICKLEN.
Mr. Van Sicklen also cabled the contents
of the letter to Lisbon.
In making this offer" said Mr.. Van
Sicklen tonight. II am not acting in my
capacity as President of the American
Council OF the Boer Republics. but rather
in my individual capacity as a friend of
those Republics. The money comes from
friends OF the Beers in this country-that
is. the greater part of it; the rest from
friends in other countries. l cannot say
where they are as IL would not be proper
at this time. I have had the money ready
for several weeks. and have simply been
waiting to learn the amount OF the award
before making this offer. | am we'll pleased
with the amount fixed by the Geneva trib-
The object OF this offer on the part OF
the Transvaal sympathizers in this coun-
try is TO forestalI and anticipate any offer
that England may make to Portugal, the
. acceptance of which would result in clos
ing Delagoa Bay. Mr. Van Sicklen expects
a reply tomorrow The loan, he said, can
be made at once.
The Portuguese Minister is not in Wash
ington and Ignacio Duarte. Charge DAT
flares of the Embassy, could not be seen
last night Little credence Is given to
the above story in diplomatic circles. as it
is not believed that il Mr.. Van Sicklen
were in earnest regarding the proposed
lean he would make it public until it had
been negotiated.
The latest advices received at the State
Department regarding the Delagoa Bay
claim was a despatch from United States
Minister Leischman, at Berne, received
about three weeks ago. 1t stated that il
was then expected that the Swiss arbitra-
tors would render a decision on some OF
the points in the case in about six weeks.
No final award has been made by the ar
bitrators and it is believed that it will be
several months. if not years, before the
case is settled.
