Are you going to appoint q committee to de-
eide whore Shevlin stands?'
NO; it's a free country"
did your vote for the abolition OF the cor
one-s tonight Indicate any connection with

ooh. no: coroners are a necessary thing.
There's got TO be somebody TO decide what a
person died or But I shipped for the voyage On
that matter.
Senator McCarren was asked when he in
tended 20 go 10 Brooklyn. He replied: I'm go
ing down down tomorrow afternoon and am
coming back Wednesday. I've got TO do some
thing 10 earn the rest OF my salary"

WC1RREN NOT FOOLED.
Protesfations of Murphy DO Not
Prcucnt Readiness for Fight.

Protostations from Deputy Fire Commissioner
william a Doyle that. although accepting the
commission 10 represent Murphy and Tammany
Hall IN Brooklyn he still favors the autonomy
OF Brooklyn and OF Murphy that he IS doing
nothing 10 assail the independence OF the Kings
County organization are not deIuding Senator
Patrick H. McCarrcn and his friends into be-
lievIng the strongest sort OF a fight Is not going
10 be made to overthrow McCarren and degrade
the organization. The McCarreuites also are not
RELYING at all on any assistance from James
ShevIn and the old followers OF Mclaughlin
who are led by him. Shevlin in an interview
Yesterday declared that he had always been I'm
favor Of Brooklyn autonomy. and he and his
friends would continue TO be so. McCarren's
friends say that while It may be true that Shev-
lin will not come out openly against the SEN
ator, they do not care TO take any chance In
making any sort of an alliance with him and his
friends. Those who know Shevlin are aware
that he has only the bitterest feelings toward
McCarren personally.
Deputy Commissioner Doyle said yesterday;
oI would not be a party to any kind OF an
attack on the autonomy Of Brooklyn. l would
not he a party to any scheme to barter away
Broollyn's independence. but do believe that
a political organization in this county when
can get along without unnecessary and unjustl-
fable friction with that Of New-York County
would be Of more advantage 10 Brooklyn both
I'm a business and political way, than the organi-
zation as now constituted
Mr.. Doyle admits that he Will not cut much
OF a figure in the meeting of the executive COM
mittee tonight, but declares that he will make
his fight at the primaries on March %. when
the delegates to the conventions TO elect dele
gates TO the State convention will be chosen.
L shall elect 4 majority of the delegates at
that time" he said. There Is doubt about
it. 1 shall certainly carry the majority OF the
districts in the borough
Il do not believe it is right TO tie up the dele
CATION to any one man-Judge Parker any
one else. My whole fight at the primaries will
be made on the proposition Of sending unin-
structed delegates to St Louis"
Great interest is being expressed I'm the atti-
tude OF Borough President Martin w. Littleton.
who is slIilfuly avoiding exposing his hand at
the present time. Senator McCarren had a long
talk with him in the Borough Hall yesterday
but neither would speak about It later IL was
said that McCsrren wanted LittletOn to come
to the meeting tonight a proxy from the Ist
District and deliver n scathlng arraignment of
Tammany Hall along the line Of his utterances
I'm the last campaign. Mr.. LittIeton according TO
report told McCarren that as a public official
he did not think IL wise to take any open part
in a political fight.

Corner" a shell fel on the house OF Colonel

wall. II finally burst near the regimental safe,

Outside OF these casualties no one was killed OF
injured, and there was no outbreak OF IRE any

MR.. BALFOUR'S DEFENCE.
alleged Duplicity in Recent Cabi-
net Changes Denied.

London March Tn the House OF Commons
tonight, on a motion Of adjournment for the
purpose Of giving the Premier opportunity
TO relate the circumstances surrounding the
designations from the Cabinet last autumn, Mr.
RaIfour reviewed at length the entire situation
prior to the crisis and after it. He said he well
coined this opportunity. but failed TO see a rea-
son for taking up the time Of the country in
discussing a wornout subject.
Referring to his pamphlet. which sent TO
the Cabinet members in August. the Premier
turned his batteries on Lord George Hamilton
formerly Secretary for India, saying he had
failed to deny the statements attributed TO him
until AIr. Balfour had publicly declared them TO
be totally untrue" In September came the
conclusion.
It was not within the region OF practical
politics to suggest a tax on food. the Premier
continued, and Joseph Chamberlain had reached
a similar conclusion.
Concerning the allegation that he had kept
any material facts from his coIlea CUES, the
Premier said he could not imagine more pre-
posterous statement, or more discreditable
one were IL true Never had more foolish
or more haseleSs charge been made than that
he had ioCkeyed his right honorable friends
out Of the Cabinet by keeping Mr.. Chamber
lain's resignation secret. Mr.. Chamberlain him
self had announced his resignation as Colonial
Secretary TO the Cabinet. He said he never
knew what great men resigned ministers were
until they resigned. and that he believed there
feeling on either side that should strain
personal friendship.
In conclusion the Premier paid a tribute 10
the Duke Of Devonshire, and said the character
OF his noble friend was one Of the assets Of pub
lie life
The motion OF adjournment was defeated by
q vote OF pa to lI2.
