MOUNTED POLICEMEN IN LINE.
Commissioner Partridge Reviews 100 OF
Them At Van COrtlandt Park.

The mounted police OF Manhattan and
The Bronx assembled at Van Cortlandt
Park yesterday morning and were reviewed
by Commissioner Partridge. Following the
review the men were put through the light
school of the trooper under the command OF
Inspector Gross. There were twelve squads
Of twelve men each and including the
captains and sergeants in commend. there
were 100 men in line.
Commissioner Partridge said that the
men were called to the park for the pur-
pose Of giving him definite idea as 70 how
the horses looked and TO see how the men
lined up. He was pleased he said, to find
that the men made so good an appearance
and that there were fewer fat men than he
had imagined. The drill showed that some
of the horses need training and some of tho
mon need to learn how to ride The Com
missioner was told that yesterdays review
and drill was the first the mounted squad
has had in two years and that he should
make allowances.
He said that he planned to recommend
the establi .hment of n drill school where the
men can be trained in squads Of thirty or
forty men. There will be another review
and drill in the spring on more elaborate

HAVANA, Jan. 1.-THE trials of the
cases growing out of the postotlice en-
beZzlements in Cuba are scheduled to
begin here tcday at noon. Senorcs La
nuza and Desvernine attorneys for
Estes G. RathbOne. will apply for a
suspension of the trial Of their client
on the ground that the interrogat0ries
adm!tt; d and ordered by the court 70
be forwarded from the United States
and other places have not yet arrived
here and that the testimony already
received has not yet been translated
into Spanish, as has been done with
the other documents in the case. If the
court does not grant an adjournment
of the trial of Rathbone until such
time as the evidence shall be fully
prepared Senores INnuZa and Desver-
nine will withdraw from their posi-
tiols as counsel for Rathbone on the
plea that under such conditions their
client should not be tried.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 4.-The 50

Organization of the Ohio legislature
closed it's last day with neither Price
nor Mckinnon assured of the neces-
sary thirty five votes for the Republic
an nomination for speaker Sacrifice
hits on both sides are being made for
kinnon and Price. and it is conceded
that the ballot in caucus this after
noon is the only sure thing
While McKinnon and Price are
claiming thrty-seven votes each. their
managers. who keep books, are more
conservative. Congressman Dick. di-
rector general for McKinnon said.
1--WE gained two in the declarations Of
Binkley of Perry and Fisher of Medi-
ma. and we want couple more"
The Price men concede Mcliinnon
only twenty-nine. but conservative
watchers say each has thirty-three
sure and that each needs at least two
more votes.
George B. Cox, manager for Price.
suid last night: There are still seven
doubtful Republican representatives.
We need two or three of them and
the others four or five"
While Dick, Cox and others are after

stances. Members on both sides are

BOARD OF
ASSESSMENT.

The first meeting of the Board
OF Assessment was held last
night.
tits understood that some time
ago Assessors George H. Mccall
and Eugene M. Sayers gave no.
tice to the members of City Council
that they considered themselves
the proper persons to make the
assessment Of property in the city
and would do so. Last night they
turned over a complete assessment.
of all the property in Wilmington
and will later protest against the
assessment made by three special
assessors appointen by the board
being accepted. 1t was known
that this would be done and so no
comment was caused. The board,
it is understood, will take the fig
ures Of the regularly elected city
assessors, compare them with the
special assessment made and then
revise the assessment of Mccall
and Sayers as the members see
fit.
1t is not believed that the board
can take the special assessment
made by the three extra assessors
because they had no authority UNI
der the law to make the ASSESS
ment, bnt it is believed that the
assessment Of the regular assessors
can be revised SO as to agree with
the new assessment. The fact re-
