VOTE BUYING CHARGED.
Wholesale Bribery in Rhode Island,
GoUernor GorCin Says.

Providence f. l.. March 10-In a special mes
sage sent to the Senate to-day, Governor LucIus
F c. Gary1n declares that bribery is common
in many towns of the State and that many
members Of the legislature occupy seats OBJ
tanned by purchased votes. The Governor rec
oramends the appointment Of a commissioner
TO employ agents 70 detect bribery and bring
offenders to justice. Governor Garvin is the
first Democratic Governor Rhode Island has had
in a number of years. The Senate is Republi-
can. The Governor in his message says:
That bribery exists to great extent in the
elections of this State is matter of common
koWledge. No general election passes without.
in some section OF the State, the purchase of
votes by both of the great political par
ties It is true that the results Of the election
may often be changed so far the candi-
dates on the State ticket concerned, but
many ASsemblynnen occupy the seats they do by
means OF purchased votes
In a considerable number OF our towns bribery
is common and has existed for so many
years that the awful nature Of the crime has
takes place openly. is not called bribery,
considered a serious matter. The money paid
to the voter, whether 81, So or $50, is spoken Of
as a payment for his time.
The claim that the money paid to the elector
is n~+ for the purpose of influencing his vote,
but IN compensation for time lost in visiting the
polls is the nnerest sophstry, and should not de-
ceiVe any adult citizen of ordinary intelligence.
It is well known that in such towns, when one
political party is supplied with a corruption
fund and the other is without, the party so pro-
yided Invariably elects its Assembly ticket, thus
afor6ing positive proofs that the voters are
bought and the voters bribed.

BRADFORD THREATENS TO RESIGN.
Controversy Over Quarters Among Naval
Bureau Chiefs.

Washington, March 1Q.-Allotment of space in the
Mills Building, which is to be occupied by the
Navy Department and the Marine Corps is the
cause OF considerable friction among the bureau
chiefs. Secretary Moody before leaving Washing
ton to-day ordered the board which had consid-
cred the question. consisting OF Rear Admiral Bart
lett, captain in the navy and clerk In the Navy
Department, to present their recommendations to
the Assistant Secretary OF the Navy in whose
hands the matter is left. This board recommended
that the chief Of the Bureau Of Yards and Docks
and the surgeon general Of the navy be assigned
to the Mills Building, together with their clerical
force and that the chief of the Bureau of Equip
ment Rear Admiral Bradford. be put in the base
rnent of the Navy Department Building. Admiral
Bradford and the other chiefs have filed strong
protests and rather than submit the adoption
of the boards plans Admiral Bradford has threat
ened to resign his commission There is little
prospect that the recommendations will be adopted
as Secretary Moody has already expressed his
disapproVal OF several of them.

The Old 18th, in Brooklyn, Brings $140, 500
Price Considered High.

Although President William H. Baldwin. jr-, of
the Long Island Railroad in person bid $4,000 fo=

ton at the direction of Controller Grout in the
Brooklyn Real Estate Exchange. D. III. Chaun-
cey acted as agents for the city It is understood
that Mr. Roth made the purchase on behalf of q
syndicate for speculative purposes.
The Long Island Railroad wished to obtain the
old armory in order to carry out its plans for a
new station. In order to induce Controller Grout
to put it up at auction. President Baldwin promised
to make bid of Sl25.000 although he declared he
had been assured by real estate experts that the
property worth than 100000. Last
week he heard runors that syndicate would try
TO outbid the railroad company. and on Saturday
he filed plans showing property that the railroad
intended acquire. This ne did. he said, in order
to serve notice SPECTATORS that II the company
did not get the property it would seek to acquire
1t by condemnation proceedings and in order TO
warn spectators that they would have to deal

Colonel Monroe Asks Equipment for
Quick Work.

f.oloneI Robert Grier Monroe. Commissioner

day sent to the Board OF Aldermen letter re-
ouesting the boards cooperation In getting an
appropriation from the Board OF Estimate ana
Apportionment to carry into effect the pro-
visions of the charter providing for an efnciene
inspection of the gas furnished throughout the
city. 81.
Colonel Monroe proposes to construct ana
equip wagons SO that tests as to the quality OF
the gas may be made anywhere in the city
His request also embraces the testing OF eiec-
tric:;y.
The Tribune early in January printed an
article setting forth the fact tnat "h4'e
the city charter contemplates an emcleht
inspection Of the candle power Oh gas
and electricity. no money had oeen Ap
propriated for the work DR.. Love- the
citv chemist. is the only one who tests gas for
the city and his equipment is SO small that 1t
does not seem to be anywhere near adequate.
The State Gas Inspector, Jastrow Alexander
has to do only with the integrity of the meters
and nothing whatever to do with the quality
Of the gas.
In his letter to the aldermen yesterday CoioneA
Monroe says, among other things:
In view of the many complaints which are
now being made as to pressure, liiuinlndtlLis

Colonel Monroe estimated that he needed $oo'-
$50 for testing electricity, and $l''2o: oo Aor
