NEGROES CLEVER GAME.

Snapped Rings with n Jevveler, but
Was Caught In Act.
Dorsey Delaney, colored, was arrested
yesterday by Detective Stark Nand Is held
at the police station on a charge of lar
ceny from F. Wachstein, a Broughton
street jeweler. According to the prosecu-
tors story the negro attempted to work
a very clever game. He called at the
jewelry store and selected a solid gold
wedding ring, which he had put aside
saying that he would return for it the
next day.
Delaney called as he promised and
asked to see the ring again. tray of
the finger rings were placed in front of
him and he selected one that he claimed
he had decided to take on the day pre-
vious. The negro took the ring in his
hand. but a moment later announced that
he would leave it until the following day.
He placed a ring back in the tray and
Mr.. Wachstein became suspicious.
A hurried examination showed that the
piece of jewe,ry handed back by the ne
gro was only plated and Mr.. Wachstein
said that he would shoot unless Delancey
came across with the gold article. This
the negro did and departed. The matter
was reported 10 Detective Stark. and from
the description given Delaney was placed
under arrest. He was identified by Mr.
Wachstein and viii be given preliminary
examination by Recorder Myrick in Police
Court this morning.

PROPERTY OWNERS MAY PAY.
Will Have to Bear Share of Ex-
pense of Emmett Park Driveway.

W N
pense of Emmett Park Driveway.
The opposition that Alderman Horrigan
has been 10th to admit seems to be crop
ping out in Council, and an alderman was
heard yesterday to advocate a plan for
the opening of a driveway through EN-
met Park. Alderman Horrigan wants
the park regularly constituted one of the
parks Of the city to be protected as
such, and he now has an ordinance tend
ing to that end before Council
1t is proposed to have the property
owners along the north side Of Emmett
Park pay a portion Of the cost of con-
structing the driveway. 1t is said that
there is only one of the several property
owners who does not feel inclined to
bear his share Of the expense, his view
being that the park. being a part of the
Strand, belongs to those who own prop
erty facing upon II. In that view. how
ever, he is not supported by the opinion
of the city attorney.
Several hundred dollars would be in
volved in the expense Of constructing the
driveway as proposed. Efforts will be
made by those property owners who IA
vor the plan to reach the agreement for
the expenditure II is believed there
would be no legal difficulty in having the
city pay a part of the cost. provided Al
dzrman Horrigan and any other alder
men, who may believe the integrity Of
the park should be maintained would
interpose no insuperable objection TO the
driveway.

ADVISES A TUG LINE.
President Egnn's Suggestion About
Proposed River Street Track.

Proposed River Street Track.
President John NJ Egan of the Central
Railroad does not think very much of
the plan of the Vernon Shell Road Com
pany to build a street railway line along
River street and other streets running
parallel with the harbor. Aside from any
question of such a line being a paying
Investment, which is a concern of the in
vestors, Mr.. Egan's objections are those
that were conveyed in the petition read
before the City Council night before last
protesting against a franchise for the
proposed line being granted the Vernon
Shell Road Company.
ITO have the street cars cross the Cen
trail Railroads tracks on Bay street, -
said Mr.. Egan, would mean a, constant
menace of danger TO traffic. As it is, there
is danger and it would be worse if street
cars crossed the tracks. Nowhere about
the company's terminals is there a point
where there have been so many accidents
as at the intersection of Wadley and Bay
streets, where the Centrars tracks cross.
Time and again there have been acct
dents, trains running into vehicles and the
Central paying the damages. The danger
would be increased by the construction
of street railway crossing.
at seems to be the object of the petit
tioning company to get a franchise that
will enable it to do business up and down
the river front. If that is the case, why
doesn't it buy a little tug? That would be
an easier and cheaper way of estab-
hshing transportation line. The river
is public thoroughfare, and there should
be no difficulty about a franchise there.
The company could arrange few landing
places and the problem would be solved.
The river, too, since the widening of the
distance between harbor lines to 600 feet,
unlike River street, affords ample room.
A tug could ply up and down the stream
without having to crowd into the wharf
when another boat wanted to pass. on
River street. there would be little room
left for the passage of steam cars, street
cars and vehicles, if another track were
added"

A CorardIy Conspiracy.

(IrOm the NHCdHO NhAohiSAt'J
The cowardly nature of the attacks
made upon Admiral SchIey in the very
few indications which are made use of
by the Navy Department cabal is shown
bv the fact that all emphatically dis
claim any purpose to impugn his honor
or his courage, while at the same time
they are advancing charges and making
insinuations which, if based in fact,
would inevitably convict him of timidity.
if not of cowardice.
The slanderers of Schley have taken
their cue in this respect from Secretary
Long himself, who made haste to repu-
diats the libels of Historian" Maclay
and 20 seek safe ground by alleging in
competency and ineffiCiency against sne
victor OF Santiago.
Mr. Maclay who is probably the cheap
est tool that an official conspiracy ever
had in its hands was logical enough to
perceive the nature of the charges made
against Schley and in his preposterous
book he made public use of the ideas
which ne knew governed the men who in
stigated the attack upon that officer.
The evidence thus far shows that
efficient, nor cowardiy Tie one accu-
sation is as baseless as the other. His
enemies in the department ana in a few
newspaper offices viii not have the salts
faction Of establishing even their modl-
fled Indictment.
In a word, the whole wretched conSpir-
acy has been exposed and this. too. before
a single witness in Schley's behalf has
been heard.

Reciprocity and Subsidies.

The business interests of Philadelphia
are said to be strongly in favor Of reci-
procity, and to be opposed 70 the Han
na-Frye Ship Subsidy bill. On neither
subject, however, is their position quite
so satisfactory as might be desired.
While advocating reciprocity, the
Manufacturers Association also de-
clares that it abandons none Of its pro-
lection views. This leaves its advocacy
of reciprocity of so doubtful a character
that its real value can only be deter
mined when the association shall have
disclosed the precise nature of the reci-
procity which it will favor. We can get
no reciprocal agreements of substantial
value with other countries unless we
concede lower tariff rates on certain
things. This will be a relaxation OF the
extreme protection policy. 1t goes
without saying that those engaged in
producing such things will resist any
reduction of the duties upon them, and
in doing so they will appeal to the pro-
tectiye principle.
With reference to the Subsidy bill it
is stated that the members of the Phil
adelphia joint committee on the i'm
provement of the Delaware and Schuyl-
kill Rivers are all in favor of bounties,
but are opposed to the bill as framed,
because ii discriminates against the
many and in the interest of the few.
Presumably, we ought to be thankful
for opposition to the bill even upon
such grounds. Nevertheless, il leaves
us in much uncertainty as to how Phil
adelphia will stand when the bill is pre-
sented in a somewhat changed form.
It is simply impossible to carry out the
purposes of its promoters without max
ing ii discriminative in favor of certain
large interests. The aim is to build up
lines of ocean steamers. Such vessels
are very costly. and can only be con-
structed by wealthy individuals or com
panies. So that no matter how fair and
equal the bounty law might appear TO
be upon its face, its benefits would
necessarily go almost entirely to a com
paratively few persons, of already large
means. If the bounty could and would
be fairly distributed among those en-
gagged in ocean navigation, it would still
be wrong in principle, but not even the
merit of a fair division of the plunder
can be urged on its behalf

miral Sampson made on the night OF
July and his secoud report of July
Is, after he had realized that the first
made bad showing for the New YORK
and himself. On July 3, the evening
after the fight, he reported to the de-
partment by cable: AT p. m. the last
warship, the Cristobal Colon, had run
ashore sixty miles west of Santiago ana
let down her colors." Twelve days laler
he seemed to have concluded that the
time given would not do ana so, in his
second report. he fixed it correctly, but
shortened the distance from Santiago
Harbor to the place of surrender py
twelve miles, thus allowing the New
York forty-five minutes extra time 10
get within signaling distance-on the
record. His despatch, IN part, read:
AT LILO il 1.-THE Cristobal ColonI gave
up without firing another shot, hauled
down It's colors, and ran ashore forty
eight miles from Santiago" As our ac-
court states, the mouth of Santiago
Harbor is a little over fifty minutes
forty seconds east of the point where
the Colon went ashore. At twenty de-
grees north latitude, the latitude of
Santiago, a minute Is 10S3 miles long
The Colon, therefore, went ashore fifty
four and one-half miles west of San
tiago. That is the distance in an air
line Allowing for the windings of the
coast the distance is fifty-eight and
one-half miles, or that approximately
given in the first Sampson report.

That MnIodorous Measure.
From the Chicago Tribune.)

tfrOm Int OnlCuRo Iribune.l
The Subsidy bill. fathered by Senator
Hanna last winter, never had a good leg
to stand on. 1t was not supported by the
country. 1t was not demonstrated that
1t could command majority in Congress
ard it's advocates have diminished in
number since then. If it had been brought
forward for passage then 1t would have
been defeated. Messrs. Hanna, Frye. Lit
tlefield Griscom & Co. should understand
that the people of this country cannot be
bulldozed into support of public meas
ure devised for the enrichment of special
interests. and that while they are in favor
of encouraging the development of the
merchant marine they are not in favor of
encoura giug it simply for the benefit of a
few capitalists and corporations at the
expense of the whole people.
Such bill. not intended for public ad-
vantage but for private profits. will never
get through Congress because 1t Will
never have the endorsement of the peo-
pie. The attitude of the country toward
the similar scheme OF last winter is
sufficient proof OF that. II IL should pass
Congress II would defeat the Republican
party at the next national election. ana
those at the head of the party know this
well enough. The people have no ooJec-
ton to the building up of the American
commercial marine. but they have IN
vincible objection to doing II simply FOR
the boosting up or special interests.
