 "I never entered into any compact suchIas he speaks of. There never was any question about MT. Alexander re- signing the presidency.
 Tt is a ridiculous proposition be- cause MT. Alexander is so eminently fitted for the place and his intention is to hold it until his death. MT. Alex ander is the soul of honor; he would cut off his right h. nd if he could pre- vent all this scandal coming up.''
 Late tonight announcement was made that the agents committee ap- pointed to wait on MT. Hyde and pre- sent the resolutions asking his resigna- tion had arranged to meet him tomor- row morning at his home at o'clock. MT.

CHILLY JUNE WEATHER.

The rain which has fallen in the Middle AT
lantic States and New England this week was
much needed. In May New-York City received
only one-third of the normal precipitation, and
there was already a shortage when that month
began. Similar conditions appear to have pre-
vailed over considerable area in the north
eastern part of the country. During the forty
eight hours ending at a. IN. Thursday the rain
fall in the metropolis amounted to more than an
inch; and showers elsewhere were coplous and
widely distributed enough to do much good.
The recently existing deficiency has not been
fully offset, perhaps, but pastures and the hay
crop have been apprecably benefited.
Accompanying this welcome visitation there
was a drop in the temperature which has proved
less acceptable. Light overcoats on the street
and extra blankets at night have been essen
tial to comfort. AT the government station in
this city the lowest fall of the mercury In June
for many years occurred in 1878 and 1879, when
the thermometer registered Al degrees. The
record here yesterday morning go degrees) did
not quite match those precedents, but it was
six degrees below the minimum for last June
It would not be surprising if in Northern New
York and in parts of New-England light frosts
occurred night before last though 1t is not likely
that they did any serious damage.

THE APPELLATE DIVISIOy

The appointment Of Justice Morgan T. O'Brien
TO be presiding justice of the Appellate Dfvis-
Ion In succession to the late Justice Van Brunt
Will meet with the heartiest approval Of the
bar and OF the whole community. which takes
an Intelligent interest in the administration
OF justice. Governor Higgins could not possi-
by have made better selection either from
the ranks Of the Appellate Division itself or
from among the other justices Of the First De-
parunent. Justice O'Brien is a man of distin-
guished legal ability, exalted character, un-
questioned impardality and great geniality and
personal charm. He viii make not only q
strong ana efficient but popular presiding
Justice Like Justice Van Brunt he is a Demo
crat, though he Is serving his present term in
the court by the choice of the voters of both
parties, and the only significance of his polit-
ieal opinions is that the Republican Governor
has refused to give political considerations any
weight In making this appointment
Inc advancement of Justice OBren to the
head OF the court leaves a place as associate
Justice TO be filed from among the elected ms
nces Of the Supreme Court in the First Depart-
nent, and also vacancy In the Supreme Court
to be filed until next January by a new man.
The task OF designating new appellate Judge
is one Of considerable difficulty. for the judges
best fitted TO go uptown are imperativeIy need
honor go TO either Justice Blanchard or JUS
tice Clarke, but believe that, following the
precedent set in naming the presiding Justice.
Governor Higgins would do We'll not to change
the political complexion Of the court This is
the only Appellate Division in the State with
q Democratic majority. The out Of town mem
bers sitting in it are all Republicans, and, while
all the New-York City members are Democrats.
the designation Of one Of the two Republican
justices resident here would constitute Re-
publican court IN a normally Democratic dis
trict Among the strong judges of Democratic
antecedents who are well fitted by experience
and ability for appellate work are Justices
Leyentritt, Scott, O'Gorman, Truax and Bisch-
of. And here it is proper to say that while
Justice Leventritt went on the bench under
the weight OF the Bar Associat tons adverse re-
port on his standing in the profession his con-
duct IN the court has been beyond reproach and
he has won the confidence OF the public as one
of the ablest Judges IN service and as abso-
htely impartial Neither he nor Justice Scott

TARIFF RELATIONS WITH GERMANY.

According to reports received from American
consuls in Germany, the German governments
new tariff policy has not attracted the unqual-
fed support Of the commercial and manufact-
uring classes. The German merchants and
manufacturers appreciate the added advantag ges
they are to gain in the markets Of the seven
countries - -Ausria-hungary, Italy, Rumania
Servia, Russia, Switzerland and Belgium-with
which reciprocity treaties have been concluded
but they are not a little fearful that they will
have to pay for these advantages by/surrender-
ing the privileges which they now enjoy in the
markets of France, Great Britain and the United
States. Most concern is expressed, of course,
over the possible consequences Of denuncation
of the favored nation" clause In our present
treaty with Germany. Great Britain, it is real
lied, is as yet scarcely in a position politically
to engage in q war of. tariffs with any other
nation; but the United States is in such po-
sition, and German merchants and manufact-
urers see that If Germany takes the first step
toward discrimination reprisals may follow
which will close, at least in part to German
commerce the richest and most sought for mar
ket In the world
It is not surprising therefore, TO find the manu-
facturers of Saxony and the commercial organ
izations In Bremen declaring against any inter-
ference with American trade relations and ask
ing for q continuance Of the present treaty,
runs until March, 1906. Then the German gov
ernment will have to decide whether or not
under the agreements it has made with the
seven central European powers, it must en-
force the maximum tariff schedule against
the United States. Logically, country not
extending tariff concessions TO Germany should
be allowed to enjoy the benefits Of the mini
mum tariff schedule. But we have now spe
cial reciprocity agreement with the German En-
pire, negotiated under the terms of the Dingley
act which admits to our markets at lowered
rates German still wines, vermouth, argol paint
ings and statuary. This could, perhaps, be re-
garded sufficient Offset for the concessions
TO be granted in the new minimum schedule
Yet in balancing the wishes and interests Of
two radically antagonistic classes In the en-
pire-the agrarians and the manufacturers and
merchants-the Berlin government faces a most
difficult problem; and pressure for protection
against American competition in food products
may eventually compel this countrys exclusion
from the most favored seller class. In that
case Germany becomes the aggressor, and prac-
ucally invites US to meet her challenge by such

4 ROOM TO ANGLERS.

One off the mysteries of life is in q fair way,
~ MT IN be settled at least to be judicially
determined; and fortunately it Is to be deter
mined in the old Commonwealth Of Massachu-
setts, where the tradition Of great judges like
Shaw and great lawyers like webster Win
sporting blood in their veins, still survives anu
insures q decision which will be quoted not
merely by advocates but by anglers. Morallsts
have been wondering for ages what there was
in the piscatorial art that seemed SO surely TO
undermine habits of veracity Honorable men
who would not cheat another out OF matcn, OF
make to a greeting the conventional reply that
they felt well If by chance their gout was CIV
ing them twinges, could always be found taxing
three pound fish from the water which at nome
never weighed more than two. No doubt lZaaK
Walton and his cook had very different ideas OF
the size of the kings foot, measured by the
length of the fish he gave her to put on the
fire. If she believed him when he said they
were a foot long, she probably had reason to
suppose that royalty shod in boys sizes.
As we say, this habit in fishermen or seeing
fish larger than anybody else has been SET down
by the careless to mendacity. But ne"
searcher for truth seems to have hit upon an
other explanation, which not only does credit
to humanity, but also opens up new neid Iof
science. This person, who Is described as
~gentleman farmer in Great harrington and
for catching trout under six inches in length,
sets up the legal defence that the trout were
six inches long when he caught them, pur
shrank while he had them in his basket on the
way home. Now, if he sustain this possi-
bility of shrinking before the courts, we have
q doctrine of great usefulness to ali honest men
who love fishing but have regulations as clergy
men, teachers and sober bankers to maintain
The raconteur of fish stories need never mere
after be disturbed by incredulous smiles when
he holds his hands two feet apart to indicate
the length of bass which the auditors know
was easily cooked as a pan fish. He can merely
say in passing that it was an extraordinarily
hot day and he never a fish shrink as
that did.
The whole world of anglers owes debt OF
gratitude TO the Great Darlington fisherman
We hope he will get a judicial ruling, not only
from the Superior Court to which he has ap-
pealed, but from the Supreme Court Of Massa-
chrseffs that fish do shrink.
