 When seen this afternoon Mayor Sulli- van declined to discuss his action fur ther than to say that he had suspended Chief of Police Jones on the charge of insubordination. He said: "I prefer not to discuss the matter before it is inves- tigated by the proper authorities which will very likely be done at once The council meets Tuesday night and l sup pose the matter will be disposed of at that time.
 'I suspended Jones this morning tenn porarily on the charge of insubordina- tion."
 Chief of Police Jones states that yes terday morning the mayor requested him to take Officer Osmer from Second ave
  that he asked the mayor what charge he had against Osmer, if any, and that the mayor replied taht he had no charge against Osmer. The chief says that this morning Mayor Sullivan came to his or flee and demanded to know If he had transferred Osmer from Second avenue. Replying that he had not yet found 1t convenient to do so, he was told by the mayor to consider himself suspended pending an investigation by the city council.
 The suspension has created considera- ble interest on the streets today and the outcome of the matter between the may or and the chief of police will be watched with interest.

SETBACK FOR WEAVER
COMMON COUNCIL LOCKS HORNS
 WITH THE MAYOR.
Refuses PermisiOn to Employ Special Lawyers, but etraightway Passes Three Bills as ReQuest.
 cd by Executive.

Philadelphia, July 13.-For the first time since he began his campaign for municipal reform, Mayor Weaver re- ceived a setback at the hands of Com mon Council today when that body did not comply with his request to author ize him to employ special counsel to represent the city in the matter of cer- tain contracts that are to be brought before the courts.
 The ordinance authorizing the Mayor to employ special counsel was intro duced last week and referred to the finance committee. The Mayor sent communication to Common Councils today asking that body to take imme- diate action and giving as a reason that it will be necessary within short time to have the courts pass pn contracts involving millions of dol lars. He further stated that no more important matter to the city financial ly has ever been before the local courts and that he desired the city to be represented by the best law talent that can be obtained.
 The Mayors communications were read and without debate 1t was voted to refer 1t to the same committee to which the ordinance was sent.
 Afterward the council took up three bills repeating ordinances giving the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company the right to lay tracks on an addi- tional 100 miles of streets without the city receiving anything for the privi-

EngIand's Great Navy.

London, July 18.-The admiralty hat just completed the scheme of naval re. distribution outlined by the Earl ol Selbourne. former first Lord of Ad. miralty, in December last by the addi. tion of numerous battleships to the Channel. Atlantic. Mediterranean ant Reserve squadrons.
 There are now concentrated in near. by seas no fewer than forty five bat. tleships, all of modern construction fifteen armored and 27 other cruisers with their accompanying torpedo boat fottllas. all ready for war at an in. stants notice. as well as reserve yes ses provided with the nuclei of crews All of these squadrons will be in inn mediate touch with the admiralty. The eastern fleet will consist of three groups with bases respectively a, Hongkong, Alden and Sydney. while an- other cruiser division at the Cape of Good Hope will form a connecting link. This new concentration has been arranged much earlier than had been expected owing to the fact that naval developments in far eastern wa ters permit the recall of battleships from China stations.

WESTERN CALL FOR TRADE.
Move for More Open Doors in the Mar
 kets of the World.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 There must be some vitality in the reciprocity idea when business men can deliberately concert On the brink or summer to begin serious agitation or the whole question. The manufactur- CTS of Chicago, of the Middle West, and of the Northwest. are beginning 10 demand & further extension Of our foreign trade and the holding of that which we have won." The call for this new national reciprocity convention, to be held in Chicago on August 16. Is is- sued by representatives of the Chicago Board of Trade, the Illinois Manufac- turers' Association, the Millers' Ma tional Federation, the National Associ- ation of Agricultural Implement ana vehicle Manufacturers, and many oth- CT bodies.
 The sponsors of the convention an nounce that they propose to call upon their Senators and Representatives In Congress ito exercise their political power. regardless of party, in behalf of fairer trade relations with Europe, as well as with the orient" The movement looks formidable because the millers of the Northwest, with whom are allied the transcontinental rail- roads, are enlisted in the effort to take down the bars, and also because the agricultural implement makers, a vast interest. are lending their support. The whole of New England Is also in the mood to trade with Canada if the Maine farmers, who fear some competition with their handful of hay and beans, can be placated. and there is general desire among manufacturers and pro ducers to sell more goods abroad to such as will buy them; but those who expect results from this agitation should call to mind the fate which be- fell the Kasson reciprocity treaties In the Senate. Everybody wanted reclp- rocity. but nobody wanted the kind of reciprocity which MT. Kasson had pro- vided A manufacturer of cheap brum- magem jewelry in Providence killed the French treaty because few gew- gaws might find their way to America; a few knit goods men and the like stopped the progress of the German treaty, and so on.
 Everybody wanted reciprocity if it meant the sale of more goods; nobody wanted any sort of reciprocity if 1t meant the chance that any other nation should sell any more goods to us. A little local interest in Kalamazoo Is sufficient to hold up a treaty as long as a Senator exerts his might
 The convention Is not going to bring about reciprocity. Some rude. aggress- i've nation like Germany. for instance, will open our doors sooner or later. The German Emperor and his Reichstag will denounce our tariffs and shut us out of the German market, and then our Senate will begin to act because the people will wake up.
 We paid absolutely no attention to the sauirming of the Chinese who begged and prayed. solicited and ap- pealed to this Government for fair treatment of the excepted classes of Chinamen at our ports of entry under the treaty stipulations. but the instant the Chinese began to boycott our goods the President acted for us with com mendable alacrity and promptitude. When the Germans touch the pocket nerve more heavily, even the Senate will jump
