TO turn the scale to the side Of Mr.. Low.
But the result would have been the same
whatever had been the ticket put UP
by Tammany. The issue OF the election
did not concern candidates, but only
Tammany itself, whether under CROKER
or anybody else; and so Tammany well
understands. II understands, too. that
any encouragement to concealed OPP
position to CROKER in the organization
ar opposition that undoubtedly exists
would set in operation disintegrating
influences which, least Of all at this time
Of it's discontinue. can it afford to let
loose. Leaders in the organization sub
ordinate to CROKER. TIMOTHY Sui
LIvAN, perhaps most conspicuousiy,
may come TO the front hereafter; but at
present even the success OF their "
plans for advancement depends In keep
ing up the solidity of the organization,
and for that purpose all hands agree
that the retention Of CRoKER in the
leadership is necessary.
II may be assumed, therefore, that
RICHARD CROKER will continue to DO
the Boss OF Tammany Hall, and II
he lives will lead It's voters In the next
municipal election in 1908 and the ma
tional election in 1904.

Tho Borough Presidents.

In the agreement OF the five Borough
Presidents-elect to establish a uniform
organization Of the public works bureau
in all the boroughs, there is promise
of a harmonious development Of the
great branches Of the city's system Of
public works. The plan determined
upon by the Prcsidents-elect is simple,
and while providing an executive force
for each borough, furnishes, in the APP
pointment of officials Of like powers
in each municipal division, an oppor-
tunity for cooperation in any scheme
of general Improvement, IL the Conn.,
missioners Of Public Works choose
to consult with one another. Mr..
CANroR's idea, which has been adopted
by Mr.. SwANsrRoM Of Brooklyn, that
there should be q Superintendent OF
Baths in the two most densely peo-
pied boroughs, for the purpose not only
of widening the usefulness Of existing
baths, but Of adding to the number
Of public bathing places in the city and
operating them throughout the year. may
be a question for general discussion.
One feature OF the plan agreed upon
is the disclosure it makes Of the possi-
bility of building up, through legitimate
patronage and discipline, an organiza-
ton answerable to the heads Of the
boroughs in every way. This organiza-
ton should be as effective in enabling
the Borough President to administer
the government Of his division success
fully and in the public interest, as it
should be serviceable to an accomplished
political manager at the expiration of
his term of office. But perhaps the most
c~ommendable result Of Fridays IN
ference Is TO be found in the evidence
which it furnished. that in the exercise
Of the powers granted the boroughs
by the new charter, there is TO be har-
mony among the several Presidents
and systematic regard for the municipal
entity in the development Of New York's
public works.

MINISTER WIS APPEAL.
Requests . Thorough Investigation OF the
Erect OF the Exclusion Law.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-Wu Ting-fang.
the Chinese Minister, has submitted to the
President and the Secretary of State q
plan for delaying the reenactment OF the
Chinese Exclusion law until a thorough
investigation Of the effect Of that statute
has been made by a Federal commission.
Mr.. Wu's scheme was outlined in a letter
addressed to Secretary Hay. who trans
mitted II to Chairman Hit Of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs. The State
Department will not make any answer
TO the note, as IL regards the matter as n
with which Congress and not the Depart
ment has to deal. Mr.. WI bases his re-
quest for the appointment Of a commission
on q provision Of the treaty Of 1880 between
the United States and China, which says:
If the avs Of Congress Of the United
States to carry out the treaty are found
to work hardship upon the subjects Of
China. the Chinese Minister at Washington
ma bring the matter TO the notice OF the
Secretary Of State Of the United States.
who will consider the subject with him,
to the end that mutual and unqualified
benefit may result
has been a source OF hardship to the Chinese
In this country, and then says:
Appealing to tho provision OF Article 4
Of the treaty OF 1880, already cited. / think
IL proper and incumbent upon Congress,
before acting upon the question OF new
legislation, 70 xanine with care into the
hardship suffered by the Chinese subjects,
and that this examination can best he made
by a commission, who will visit the localities
in the United States where Chinese most
largely c~ongregate, and the Hawaiian
and Philippine Islands, and by a personal
investigation ascertain how the present
laws and regulations affect the Chinese
and how their exclusion affects the To-
cahties In question. | think such an
investigation Is due from Congress, In
view OF the treaty stipulations. Of the
desire of the Imperial Chinese Government
and OF the great interests involved. II
such a commission Is appointed should
hope that their report would satisfy Con-
eress that further exclusion OF Chinese
from the United States Is unnecessary
But II that should not occur. II ought to
mako plain TO Congress that the present
laws are in violation OF justice and humanity
and inhict upon the Chinese unnecessary
hardships and ~indignities; that they are
not In harmony with the treaties; that they
work injury 10 the interests OF both coun-
tries, and should be materially modified.
Mr.. WI expresses the hope that President
Roosevelt will transmit his proposition
10 Congress with a favorable recommended
ton.

CLAY MOSAIC BY BRUMTDI.
Remarkable Work OF Art Discovered ir
the Hal or h House.

WIN W -
the Hal or the House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-The report Of the
commission under whose supervision the
hall Of the House Of Representatives was
rsfurnished and resrranged during the
recess hat closed with the assembling OF
the Ffty-seventh Congress calls attention
TO the fact that the ordinary individual
or official builds for only about half a CEN
fury. Then the capacities OF his work are
exhausted and a new construction becomes
necessary. The gentleman who devised the
ceiling of the present hall in 1857 arranged
In It ~forty-ive glass panels on which the
coats OF arms Of the several States were
to be blazoned. He thought, and the au-
thorities evidently agreed with him. that
the h fourteen empty panels would AFFORD
spaces for all the new States likely to be
admitted to the Union, but the last one
was appropriated when Utah was made a
State. Up TO tho present time. however.
the space has not been decorated.
When the hall was first occupied. nearly
half q century CO., n about fifty years
after the first hall Of the House was con-
structed, the membership Of the House,
including Territorial delegates. was IA.
There are now 400 seats n desks on the
floor. ten more han viii be necessary to
accommodate the membership OF the
Fifty-eighth Congress, the first one to be
elected under the apportlonment OF the
twelfth census. The accommodations OF
the hall will allow no increase Of member
ship beyond that already provided for II
desks are 70 be retained.
When the acting architect Of the Capitol
came 10 remove the paintings from the hall,
Mr.. Woods discovered a remarkable work
Of art by G.. Bromidi, the artist who deco
rated the rotunda OF the Capitol and many
Of the Senate committee rooms and corri-
doris thirty years ago. In the southwest
corner is a picture of .Washington's fare:
well to his officers, which was supposed
TO be a bit Of painting. On examination.
to determine the question OF removal,
1t was found TO be what il probably the
finest specimen Of clay mosaic in the u
try. The material is clay, set into the wall
when in a plastic condition, SO prepared
that in it's dry state II fits into the picture
In proper tint, the whole at a little distance
resembling an oil painting. Its nature
and method of composition were pointed
out by Mr.. Joseph Rakenmann of this
city, who was assistant of Brumid and
who, with his son, decorated the new COM
mittee rooms and corridors his year.
Brumidi's signature 10 the work reveals
a characteristic trait Of the artist. While
he was at work on the rotunda and the
Senate wing there was much criticism
over the selection of a foreigner to do the
work. Sc he DOL out naturalization pa
pers, and the signature to the work In the
hall OF the House reads: &C. Brumidi.

Tho Trolley on tho Bridge.

II must be time for the ridiculous
effort to prevent the town from attain
ing its natural grown at n OF its most
important points, the Macomb's Dam
Bridge, to come to an end. The bridge
was built not for the benefit OF naviga-
ton, but to enable the New York public
to cross the river, and the sooner the
most effective and widely used method
Of transportation. the trolley car. Is
applied to it the better.
The Metropolitan Street Railway tracks
should have been laid across the Harlem
at this place years ago. The franchise
necessary to laying them there now
ought to be granted by the Board Of
Aldermen a a public act too plainly
sensible and proper for discussion.

An American Marriage In France,

Much more important than smoothing
the way for the marriage Of Senator
DEPEw 10 an American woman residing
abroad is the fact that to enable this
marriage to be performed in colorado
compliance with the French laws, all
~precedents and regulations governing
the conduct of our Consular officers have
been broken. Whenever the question
has come up heretofore, tho instructions
Of the Secretaries Of State have always
been to the same effect as these given
by Secretary FRELISoHUYsEN twenty
years ago.:
-AUnited States Consul has no authority. under
the laws OF tho United States. to solemnlre mar
riaees, and even II he had such authority II would
have to be exercised Ia obedience to the laws Of
the country In which he Is resident as such Consul.
Consuls do not possess ANY eitraterr,oria priv
leees in regard to private matters between lndl.
viduals. The law provides tina, . United States
Consul may be present and witness the ceremony.
snd may give to the parties a certificate of the fac,
under the Consular seal and make a record OF IL
IN the archives Of the consulate
Secretary BAYARD repeated these in
structions in spirit; CALEB CUSHING,
when General, rendered an
opinion declaring that a Consul cannot,
as Consul. solemnize a marriage"
There yet remains the question Of
statute and international law, The act
of June 20, 1850. permits marriages to
be solemnized lin presence of any
Consular officer, who required TO issue
certificates of such marriages; but IL
does not authorize him 90 solemnize
them.
does not extend the privilege Of extra
territoriality 10 Consuls or c~onsulates
in civilized countries, Ministers and
legations are covered by il, but not
c~onsulates. Therefore the American
consulate IN Nice was French soil, and
we have the anomalous spectacle Of nm
American, subject 10 French law. per-
forming, by American warrant. a cere-
mony not authorized by American law.
