the Republican organization is the result of the

criticism should lie at the doors of the Republican

ELDRIDGE-ST. MEN SHIFTED
IT is BELIEVED BY SOME THAT PAR.
FRIDGE is Furnishing THEM FOR
SUNDAY ARRESTS

Police Commissioner Partridge yesterday be.
gan to carry out the arrangements he made a.
few weeks ago. when he had all his captains be-
fore him to confer about precinct detectives
He remanded some plain clothes men in the
First Inspection District. Inspector Crosss dis
trict. to patrol duty. He also shifted num-
Der of detailed men for the purpose of getting
old men into easy places. and transferred few
men from one precincts to another. Hereafter
all detectives will be details from Headquar-
tiers, the recommendations of captains being
considered. Whenever captain needs man,
in plain clothes for extra detective duty he may
assign him to plain clothes work for day only
He must get permission from Headquarters for
any longer period.
Policemen attach particular significance to the
transfer of twelve men from the Eldridge-st.
station to various parts of the city. Six Of the
men transferred were patrolmen, two were
roundsnen and four were attached to the pa
troll wagon shift. The six patrolmen it was said.
had been particularly active last Sunday in the
arrest of small shopkeepers, sixty or more OF
whom were taken into custody because of alleged
violations of the Sunday closing laws The I'M
usual activity OF the police of the Eldridge-st.
station in making these arrests caused much
talk
The policemen said they were only enforcing
all the laws, they mad Deen instructor 10 uo-
II was charged however, by some persons that
the movement was inspired by Tammany Hall
to make the present administration unpopular
ON the lower East Side, and to give the people
of that district so much reform that they
would never want any more OF IT.
Policemen were inclined TO believe last night
that commissioner Partridge had taken the lat-
fer view of the question. and had, by making
the transfers signifed his displeasure. Iney
commented on the fact that some Oh the men
we're transferred further from home tnan tney
had hitherto been. There were otner FEATURES
of the transfers they said. that indicated that
the Commissioners intention was disciplinary
and punitive. -,,., -. -.
The men transferred from Eldrldge-sI anu
the stations to which they were detailed are as
follows: =. o,,

MAYOR LOW CANDIDATES FROM THE
REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATIONS
Mayor Low has asked from Republican County
Organization leaders names of candidates for the
new Special Sessions justiceshp. the bill for which
the Mayor approved few days ago and sent to
Governor Ode 1t is understood that the names
of Magistrates Deuel. and Crane and ex-Assemby-
Hal Bell have been submitted for the Mayors
consideration. and that of these viii be ap-
pointed by tomorrow night The appointment
must be made by May 4. The names We're sub
mitted by the Republican leaders in the order
given. They not rendered until the Mayor
asked for them, President Morris and his col
leagues in the Republican camp deemed it wise
to adhere to the platform pledge to urge one
officially for places.
The selection of either Deuel. Crane for the
place will make vacancy among the police mag
istrates. Among the men being considered for the
vacancy is Charles B. Page. Commissioner Of
Elections. Mr.. Page has told his friends that
long he is Elections Commissioner he cannot
consent to stand applicant for another po-
sition. His friends know however that several
years ago Mt Page would gladly have accepted
that there is prospective vacancy they are more
than willing to present his qualifications TO the

AGITATION IN BELGIUM.
PROSPECTS FOR REFORM LEGISLATION
DESIRED NOT BRIGHT.
IMPRESSION IN ANTWERP THAT THE
GREAT POLITICAL STRIKE WILL
BE ABANDONED

DOWNRIGHT: 1902: By The Tribune Association
fsnecial to The Tribune by French Cablel
Antwerp, April 17.-While the Suffrage ue
bate proceeds at Brussels, with the approaches
to the Chamber guarded by bayonets, the main
support of the reform cause comes from the
worxingmen striking for a political IDEA. Inc
ministers evidently will stop the debate wheh-
ever this support langushes. The SOCIALIST
press magnifes for political purpose the popu-
lar agitation.
Antwerp supplies few evidences of pubic eX-
element. The metal workers and cigarmakers
have struck but the dock laborers and other
workers have not followed their example. There
is little display of military force, and business
is not interrupted. Reports from the mining
region and industrial hives of Charleroi ana
Mons are more favorable for the socialist agl-
taton.
There is an impression among business men
here that the strike will be abandoned in the
course of ten days, since the labor unions lack
the resources for carrying out the political pol
icy of the socialists The ministers will then post
pone reform measures indefinitely, and the May
elections will proceed in the usual way While
a general strike was the only practical method
of emphasizing popular earnestness, 1t was or
dered prematurely, and, unless all signs fall, VIII
not compel the ministry, strongly intrenched IN
power to make reasonable concessions.
