it is asserted that an action will be

GOSSIP OF

Many Vacant Seats in
the Hotel LobbieS
SHELLS TAKING A VACATION
Judge Gaynor Proposed as the Fusion
Candidate for Mayor Against
Tammany.
SMELLS TAKING A VACATION

New York, July 1S.-This is the
season of the year when not only the
streets and stores seem empty, but
when the hotels as well have de-
serted appearance. There are always
vacant seats in the Hobbies Of smart
hotels during the months of July and
August, while at other times it is
difficult to find an empty chair. HO-
tel prOprietOrs say, however, that
business is remarkably good for the
season.
The vital statistics for the first
half of the year have just been pub
lished and q glimpse at the figures
shows that there is no danger Of race
suicide in New York. On the con-
trary, a marked increase is shown in
the birth rate. The births reported
numbered 1890, against 40,392 for
the first half Of last year This in
crease was due in part, to the more
careful reporting Of births. The num-
Der of births for the year will possibly
number between $4,000 and 100000
The death rate for the first six
months of 1902 was 1884 per 1000.
Mayoralty candidates still continue
to crop up. but one whose name at
tracts more than passing attention is
William J. GaynOr, Of the supreme
court. II Mr.. Lowe refuses to run
again it is thought that Judge Gay
nor is the man who could make the
strongest fight against the Tammany
candidate. This is the first instance
where a prominent Republican has
announced, even COnditiOnally for
Democrat for the head Of the ticket,
for Judge Gaynor has the support of
eX-Lieutenant Governor Woodruff. II
he should run. AS the fusion victory
depends largely upon the retaining or
winning of the Independent Democrat
ic vote. 1t is palpable that the plac-
ing of a Democrat at the head of the
ticket would give excellent promises
of success.
1t is very doubtful if several of the
new theatres which are now under
construction, will be open on the dates
originally set for them because of the
long tie-up in the building trades.
This probable failure makes a serious
hitch in the plans Of several distin-
guished actors and actresses-amon
them Richard Mansfield, E. H. Soth-
ern and Ethel Barrymore. Oscar
Hammerstein, who is building what
will be known as the Drury Lane
Theatre, is authority for the state
ment that none of the new theatres
is likely TO open until the first of Janu-
airy.
Brooklyn was so pleased with its
experiment last summer with trolley
sprinklers, that it has planned to
largely increase the number this sum-

may not be reduced by the wholesale

COMMISSIONERS FROM BOLIVAR
They Are Without Any Diplomatic
Functions

The commissioners from the department
OF Bolivar Colombia who came TO the
United States by way of Galveston, Tex,
arrived at Washington yesterday They
are: Donieco Jimnez and Antonio r.
Blanco They accompanied by their
secretary Julio c. Zuniga. The party went
al once to call on DIR. Herran the charge
OF the Colombian legation, with whom
they spent the greater portion of the even
ing. When the commissioners left their
native country all was obscurity and con
fusion there regarding the condition of
affairs on the isthmus. except that it was
known that a revolution had taken place.
They came to Washington to get clear
understanding of the situation Events on
the isthmus, however followed each other
with such rapidity that the commissioners
were fully informed of the state of affairs
before they reached Washington. The
commissioners have no diploma tic functions
whatsoever, said DR.. Herran, and what
ever report they may take back to their
own country will be made to the governor
of Bolivar only. Should the latter desire
to do so he will transmit the information
obtained to Bogota. The duration of tie
stay of the commissioners in Washington
is not known
Admiral Coghlan has telegraphed to the
Navy Department the departure of Gen.
Reyes, the Colombian peace commissioner,
from Colon, by steamer to one of the gulf
ports.
The press of Colombia continues to Sc
verely crticise and denounce the American
government for its action in isthmian mat
ters and the recognition of the republic Of
Panama. This is shown in a dispat tch re-
certify received at the State Department
from Minister Beaupre at Bogota. PreSi-
dent Roosevelt, the United States Congress
and the American people are the targets Of
violent denuncia tions. The minister's dis
patch makes no reference as to the time
when he intends to leave Bogota on he
leave Of absence granted him by the State
Department. No uneasnesS is felt by the
department for the minister's personal
safety.
Mr.. Henry l.. Wilson. the United States
minister to Chile. in dispatch to the State
Department, reports that the action of the
United States in isthmian affairs Is re-
ceiving the support and sympathy of the
press and leading politicians and people of
that country. They look with favor on the
acts of the United States and express the
opinion that 1t has acted rightly in isthmia n
affairs. The people in Chile are in favor of
the construction Of the canal, Mr.. Wilson
says.
The Panama commissioners DIR. Amador
and Mr.. Boyd. left the city yesterday morn
ing. presumably for New York, where Mr..
Varilla. the minister from Panama, pre-
ceded them.

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
Congressional Leaders Puzzled Over
the Matter.

tu0 uldttS4.
Congressional leaders are finding it hard
to make up the.r mind whether to have
river and harbor bill at the coming session.
Whether cit is time for one is dlspu'eo
question Of congressional history. This
will be the long session year. 1t was 1or-
merly the practice to pass a river and mar
Dor bill on alternate years in the short ses-
SON AS a new Congress had then been
elected, this arrangement seemed good
politics." But in the Fifty-sixth Congress
Mr.. Carter of Montana put a spoke in the
wheel by his death-dealing speech in the
Senate, and so the Fifty-seventh Congress
in its first, or long session, passed the
river and harbor bill. Two years rave now
elapsed Shall we have another general
bill or by delaying another ye return 10
the old short session .dea?' is the dues-
ton.
The leaders, it may be stated on good au-
thority, are not much concerned by tn'S
order, or even the pendency of the presi-
Dental campaign, as over the extraordinary
character which the present river and har-
Dor demands are taking. TIE ONO RlVef
Improvement Association, which is pursI-
ing the methods by VIII ch the lrriga-
tonists gained their leverage on the fed
eral treasury, is occasionng comment both
by ihe proportions of its claims and by It's
apparent popular support. The association
asks for a ninefoot channel for the Ohio
river and all is tributaries, project
which carried out to the letter would cost
several hundred million dollars.
Many western cities are also asking eX-
traordinary things of the government.
Their municipal experts are preparing
tables to show expenditures by states tQ
bolster up the local claims. These tabula-
tions are often SO m seading that the river
and harbor committee may yet issue a
formal statement the subject. Its old
members say that if all parts of the coun-
try would be satisfied with substantial
needs, Boston, New York, Baltimore and
New Orleans have been, there would be
trouble. 1t is the projects which push
ed in various localities for marking work.
rather than to serve actual needs which oc-
casion the most trouble.
Speaker Cannon does not purpose to
stand against the wishes of the House He
is apprehenSive of how the Senate may pile
up river and harbor bill, if it gets hold of
one, since the items not under the rigid
Speaker has, however announced as his
of his party to give its members what they
want. Several of the Massachusetts rep
resentativeS are earnestly debating whether,
for the sake of the improvements imme-
diately needed on our coast line, they can
conscientiously join an effort to compel a
general bill, standing by its totals in order
to get their share of it's details
The question presents many difficulties
Certain river and harbor items in any event
will have to be provided, presumably in
the Sundry civil bill, if there be no general
appropriation of this kind. What these
items are and how much they amount to is
