REELECTION OF MAYOR
MCCLELLAN SEEMS SURE
MURPHY AND M'CARREN HAVE
PATCHED UP DIFFERENCES
MayoraIty Fight Not as Lively as
UsuaI-More Room on Bridges for
the Brooklynltes-Tenement to Be
Had Rent Free

Special Correspondence of The Herald.
NEW YORK, July 29.-Greater New
Yorks mayoralty campaign will be
fought out this fall with the two leaders
of the Democratic forces not on speak
ing terms. The most that the friends
of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many hall, and the friends of Senator
McCarren, head of the Brooklyn or
ganization have been able to do has
been to establish a sort of armed truce
between the two men. All the pre-
liminary negotiations of the campaign
are being conducted through third par
ties.
Strange conditions have brought
about this situation. Four months ago
it looked as though Murphy and Nc
Carren would be at one another's
throats before the holding of the city
convention, but the tact and diplomacy
of Mayor Mcclellan has averted this.
For more than a year there has been
the most bitter feud between the two
men, starting in personal differences a
year ago last winter.
One thing led to another in the fight
until Murphy was engaged in bitter
warfare in McCaren's own territory
of Brooklyn to wrest the leadership
from the senator, who, however, was
amply able to hold his own in the
primaries and in all the details of the
party organization. This threatened
the reelection of Mcclellan, although
it could have little effect on his re-
nomination, as the Tammany delegates
from the old city of New York, now the
boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx.
are sufficiently numerous to control the
convention over the Brooklyn delegates
and those from Queens and Richmond
boroughs as well, if need be.
1t was at this stage Of the proceed
ings that Mayor Mcclellan himself took
an important stand in the political sit
uation. He recently summoned Sena-
tor McCarren to the city hall and they
reached an agreement By it the mayor
promised the Brooklyn leader that IN
the future he would permit none of the
city patronage to be used in opposition
to the McCarren leadership of Brooklyn
and would not permit the oustlng of
any more McCarren men from city
places for political purposes. In re-
turn the mayor secured from McCarren
the pledge that the McCarren men
would work earnestly for the renomin-
alton and reelection of Mcclellan, pro-
vided that McCarren was permitted to
name the candidate for the controller
ship, second on the ticket.
While all this is going on the Repub-
lican and anti-Tammany fusion cam
paign, If such a campaign is to be car
ried on. is at a standstin. None of the
oldtime anti-Tammany organisations
has Joined any movement as yet
against Mcclellan. while one of them
has switched over and is openly for the
reelection Of the mayor. This is tn =
German-American Reform union.
From present indications the mayoral-

The effect OF this enterprise on Long
Beach can hardly be foretold. It will
pake It a great commercial port with
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-30

arisen whereby city official is placed
in the position of aiding and abetting
tenants in the nonpayment of their
rents.
During the last two years a vast
number of tenement houses have been
erected in the newer sections of Brook
lyn borough and tenanted without the
legal preliminary of securing the proper
certificates from the tenement house
department. These certificates will not
be issued until all the requirements of
the department have been met. The
owners refuse to live up to the tene-
ment house law, knowing the penalties
imposed for their inaction are made
quate.
Deputy Commissioner Brennan, how
ever, has advised tenants in houses
without certificates that they need not
pay their rents. He declares the land
lords cannot dispossess them because
the landlords have no standing in
court and that judgments could not
stand against the tenants until the
landlords have secured proper certi-
ficates from the department.
The prospect of free rent for a few
months has increased the migration n
the East New York and Brownville
sections of Brooklyn borough.
The customs officials in this port re-
Gently have noticed marked decrease
in the number of complaints from in
coming passengers regarding the Gus
toms regulations. 1t is said that the
correspondence between the department
and passengers has been cut down one
half. This change largely is ascribed
to the practice, adopted a short time
ago, of sending to all Americans leav-
ing this country a circular containing
brief but complete information regard
ing the customs regulations and ex-
actly what to do to conform to them.
Collector Stranahan originated the
idea of sending out such a circular, and
the secretary of the treasury approved
of it. An employe of the local customs
service is stationed at the barge office
and receives copies of all outgoing pas
senger lists. To every passenger on the
lists he mails circulars and requested
to distribute them among the pas
sengers.
The circulars have had a good effect
in dispelling ignorance. but the customs
authorities believe there is still room
for improvement.

After years of talk, investigation, de-
lay, and then some more talk and more
investigation, the city at last is 10
build a new and adequate terminal for
the Manhattan side of the old Brooklyn
bridge.
1t will cost $4,000, 900 to build and the
work of construction will occupy two
years, but 1t will relieve the present dis
graceful and intolerable congestion of
persons and traffic during the rush
hours of the day and will result in a
net saving of many lives during the
course of each year.
To the person who has never been
caught in the human tide that flows
over the big bridge twice day, Man
lynward late in the afternoon, a de-
scription can convey little of the real
horrors of the situation. And the word
horrors is used advisedly!
over the comparatively narrow struc-
ture, from four to six o'clock each
afternoon, more than 100000 men, wo-
men, children and human brutes pass
to Brooklyn homes.
Jamming the trolley and elevated
cars, packing the roadways, fighting,
rioting and trampling under foot what
ever that is weak and in the way, this
tide almost daily brushes men and wo-
men and children, mostly of the two
latter classes, off the train landings
and occasionally to death under the
wheels. Policemen are powerless
against the tide, and the death list of
the rush hour" during the course of a
year is appalling.
The new bridge terminal will occupy
several city blocks to the north of the
bridge, and will give plenty of room
for the loading of passengers into the
trolley and elevated trains, while an
enormous space will be made available
for switching purposes. This will en-
able the trains and cars to handle
without congestion a much larger num-
ber Of persons within the rush hour"
time than now is possible. and is ex-
pected to make living in Brooklyn at
least endurable, instead of being equivi-
lent to a sentence to Purgatory.
More than ever before the tide of
summer outings has turned this year
from the seaside to the inland resorts.
Beginning FIVE or six years ago the
number Of prominent families prefer
ring the mountains or lake country to
the seaside has been increasing until
this year the records show there are
thirty per cent more persons than last
year spending their summer time by
fresh rather than salt water.
This fact for some time has been re-
allied in a general way by those to
whom were known the locations of the
summer homes of the socially promin-
ent, but the exact figures were not
shown until recently when the summer
edition OF the Social Register was is
sued This shows that of the 1856 fam

The War on Destructive Insects.

Insects are little creatures but they
make a great amount Of trouble in the
world and cause a vast amount of ex-
pense. A report when is being pre-
pared by the agricultural department
will strikingly evince that the capacity
for mischief of animals depends more
on their number than On their size.
The determination of oil the destructive
insects in the United States would save
the people enough to dtfray all the an
nual expenses Of the national govern
men:. including pensions and the main
tenance OF the army and navy. and. in
course of time, to extinsuish the nation
n debt. The annual expense account
of the government is about $7OO.OOO,O 900.
The ravages of insects cause an esti-
mated yearly loss OF about s7s5 1000.
The insect whose derredations are
most extensive and costly is the chincn-
bug. Although only z third of an inch
long, it exacts from the countrys
farmers an annual tax o: $6O,OOO,O0O. 1t
damages the wheat and corn crop 500
OOO, 900 each. The rest of its levy it ii-
yides among the lesser cereals. The
energetic grasshOpper costs us about
$50, 900. 900 a year. Possessed Of an
omnivorous appetite. the grasshopper
devours corn, wheat. rye. grass. pillages
orchards. and attacks almost every
other kind OF vegetation with perfect
impartiality.
The third most destructive Of Ameri-
can insects is the Hessian fly. The
American people have several reasons
for cherishing grudge against the
hireling Hessian troops who fought
against their ancestors IN the revolu-
tionary war. Not the leas. Is that they
