FROM the LONDON Express.
How many of the thousands of peo-

liners know how these great ships arc
safeguarded at night against dangers
which may at any moment spring from
the utter darkness ahead?
Certainly very few; and millions of
those who have not travelled on such
vessels know nothing whatever about
the manner in which passengers are
protected from peril.
Chief officer Armstrong Of the Gel

gives an interesting account of how
the work of watching is carried on.

COLER ON REVISED CHARTER.
SAYS DANGEROUS PRINCIPLE OF GOV
EMINENT HAS BEEN INTRODUCED.

Controller Coler yesterday Joined in the general
Democratic denuacatfon OF the amended charter
as received from the legislature on Friday night.
IT'S the greatest legislative outrage ever at
tempted the city" said Mr.. Coler yesterday
afternoon. THE legislature apparently held the
view that with so many people crkicisng the man
agement of affairs in this city II could do any
thing It liked without attracting attention. The
legislative charter revisers have introduced new
principle in municipal government which is ex-
uemey dangerous. 1t is that of dividing up Of
hcial power and patronage between party organi-
cations. 1t is shown in the provision Of the charter
with reference TO the designation by the two lead
ing political organizations of eight newspapers
in Queens Richmond and The Bronx which shall
receive 100000 for corporation advertising Here
distinct governmental principle is advocated. and
1t is a bad principle. too. 1t is that Of having the
two organizations designate the men who are to
receive large grants of the City's money.
Much the principle is noticeable in the
organization OF the Board of Elections Commits
sioners. If this theory Of government is carried
out all that the organization leaders will have TO
do hereafter is to get together and divide every
thing up, and nobody else will have any voice In
the matter. Officials elected by the people will
have little nothing do but placidIy watch the
performance of their tasks by legislative agents.
II this theory Of government is carried on. what
VIII elected officers amount TO?
Il don't want to stand for anything wrong done
by the present adminstra ton In this city In mat
ters like the Ramapo Water Company. but if this
new theory Of representative government is
ried out would like to inquire where the peO-
pie come in. Suppose. for instance. 90 per cent of
Inc voters in this city indorsed independent
movement The voters naturally expect that the
3H'Cers they elect will obey their wishes
Chder the new scheme they would be unable do
annytilhs believe in parties, but it seems to
Iat thls Is an opening wedge TO vicious practices

had been in this city many cries of Wolf" The
men at the bottom of all thought that their acts
would remain undetected

POOL GIBES AT POLICE.
HE DISCHARGES TWELVE COLORED MEN

Police Commissioner Devery by his action of yes

Pool who. after hearing the detectives. said in n

ALL NIGHT LICENSES.
COMM SSIONER MURPHY SAYS HE WILL
NOT BE LAVISH IN GRANTING THEM

John Whalen has thrown upon the Mayor and
the Police Department the responsibility for grant
ing granting all night licenses saloonkeep-
Murphy asked for formal opinion from the
Corporation Counsel his powers in that regard
under the police law, and Mr. Whalen sent
back the following reply yesterday:
I advise YOU that the Mayor and the Chief Of
Police have the power to grant and sign such a
permit; whether they viii or ought to do so is
matter resting in their discretion.
Commissioner Murphy said last night that al
night license would require his signature and
that of Mayor Van WyCk also. As for his part. he
would be exceedingly chary Of granting all night
licenses. as he thought them necessary in com
paratvely few cases. The Commissioner also said
that when. after coming into office. he dele

SAYS HE OPPOSED SUBSIDY PROVISION.

Assistant Corporation Counsel Arthur c. Butts
was quoted yesterday saying that William II.
Ten Eyck chairman of the executive committee OF
the Republican County Committee. interested
in the provision in the amended charter which sub
sidizes eight newspapers in Queens, Richmond and
The Bronx boroughs by paying them $4,000 for
corporation advertising. Mr.. Butts under
stood to say that the principal supporter and
worker for the bill in the Assembly Assem-
blyman Beden, Of Orange, a personal friend of
Governor Odell and brother-in-law of Mr.. Ten
Eyck When Mr.. Ten Eyck yesterday
Re said:
If Mr. Butts said what he quoted saying,
he must have rather badly mixed in his facts.
Mr.. Bedell OF Orange, Is not my brother-in-law.
He isn't any relation of mine. There is Mr..
RedeIl who publishes THE Bronx Record" His
brother, dead. married my wlfe's sister. A
year ago tried get adopted bill giving cor
poration advertising to papers in The Bronx After
Mayor Van Wyck vetoed the bill dropped IT, L
had nothing TO do with the provision in the char
relating the thing. When was In
Albany last week those who were pushing this
matter came me and said that certain of my
friends anxious that the charter contain what
afterward inserted. l told them ! objected to
the proposed provision because II was not equita-
ble 10 say the least. l told them that II pro-
vided for four official papers for queens ana only
two for The Bronx and Richmond. while as mat

tonight that a resolution would be submitted to

the legislature upon April 90 II do not know
that the Senators will give their to ad-
journlng upon that date" said the Speaker be
cause some of them to think that they
haven't the Charter Revision bill In as perfect a
shape yet as they desire it,
1t is probable that the Senate will not adopt an
adjournment resolution until Mayor Van Wyck's
intentions with respect to the Revision bill have
become clearer. and then IL may be that amend
n1ents may be considered necessary before the
legislature departs from Albany.
