Attitude of Mr.. Jerome.

AT the time when the district attorney
laid his excise bill before the legislature
he openly declared that if such a remedy
was not found for the existing law he
would enforce it as it stood. Then the
republicans were inclined to smile. Now
they are not smiling, and there is a very
strong impression among them that Jerome
is in a fair way to carry out his threat.
Jerome and no one else, they assert, has
precipitated a condition of things where
a force of frightened and rebellious pa
trolmen are turned loose to enforce to the
extreme the present excise law. OF this
some of the republicans go so far as to as
sert they have evidence.
A district leader tells of a patrolman in
his district who was Known to be particu-
larry sore on his captain for falling to
allow him leave to go to Albany to cham
pion the three-platoon measure. 70 this
man, the leader declared, came a repro
sentative of Jerome. you're independent

Changes to Be Made.


1t is very certain that a number of i'm
portant. changes will be made in the meth
DDS of managing the affairs of the depart
ment before Collector Stranahan has been
in Office very long. One of the first things
to be done will be the settlement of the
question Of the authority Of the collectors
and the surveyors men the piers.
When Collector Bidwell placed his own
men on incoming steamships and piers and
dismissed forty or more of Surveyor Croft'S
inspectors he announced that he had done
so because of the dishonest methods exist
ing among the surveyors men. Mr.. Croft
made no protest at the time and took no
apparent notice of the fact; but he has al
ways felt that the action of the collector
was a direct attack upon the honesty of his
administration, and it is probable that the
boarding officers who go down the bay to
board incoming steamships for the purpose
Of taking the declarations Of the passen-
gers viii be restored again to his jurisdic-
ton.
The new collector of the port Of New
York, Nevada H Stranahan, has begun
work In earnest. He was asked about the
report that one of the first changes to be
made in the service would be the retire
ment Of Col. Phelps, the deputy collector
In charge Of the ninth Tor law) division
He replied that he could neither confirm
nor deny the report at this time; that moth
ing had been done as yet, and that his fu-
ture action would depend entirely upon de-
velopments. Col. Phelps has not been en-
tirely in accord with the Treasury Depart
ment in Washington recently. and he was
not wholly in accord with Collector Bidwell
during the last few months. Then, too,
there have been reports that for some time
past a number Of lawyers have maintained
close connections with the custom house,
and whenever big case came up. such as
the recent seizure Of silks imported from
the orient, these lawyers have known of 1t
almost as soon as 1t reached the collector.
and have lost no time In getting to the ac-
cused firms, notifying them that the gov
eminent was about to bring proceedings
against them and asking to be retained.
Naturally. coming apparently from the
custom house. they have been retained on
the spot. 1t is said that these facts have
reached Washington, and that the Presi.
dent Is determined to break up the prac-
tice.
