There is no reason to doubt but
that the Board of Aldermen will look
well to the city's interests in grant
ing a franchise to a new ferry
company for the use of the foot OF
Fayette street for docking purposes.
In doing this, however, the fact must
not be lost that a ferry at that place
will be a big benefit to the city, not
only in developing that section, but
in affording competition and thereby
reducing the price and affording bet
ter accommodations for crossing the
sound.
The residents of Staten Island
bring hundreds of dollars into this
city every week and anything that
will make it easy for them to get
here and induce more to come should
be encouraged.
1t was but three years ago that the
Staten Island Rapid Transit was
granted a new lease for the foot of
Smith street. 1t will be remembered
that at that time the fact was brought
out that the lease under which the
company was then operating did not
expire until the present year. But
the company was DESTROYS of improv-
ing its property and investing con-
siderable capital, it did not want to
do so with the uncertainty of what
would take place when the lease ex-
pired.
At the request of the Staten Island
Rapid Transit, therefore, the old
lease was cancelled and a new one
was granted to run for a term of
twenty-five years beginning January
2, 1904. The amount of rental was
fixed at 800 for the first ten years
and 5000 for the next fifteen years.
There was some objection to this
lease at that time, on the ground that
the rent was not sufficient for so val
liable a franchise, being at the foot
of the city's main th%oroughfare.
This argument was met with the
statement that if the ferry was NOT
at the foot of the street, not ONLY
would the city not receive the 500
"a year, but it would, cost the city
that much to keep the bulkhead in
repair, something which is now done
by the ferry company, besides paying
into the city's treasury the 500.
1t was also stated that the city
has at least fifteen street all having
water fronts and nearly all of which
are an expense to the city therefore
to lease a few street-ends, even at a
small rental, was to the advantage of
the city, as long as the lease was not
perpetual.
These same arguments which were

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE sun.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 3.-The result Of
the first scrutiny Of the votes cast in the
capital yesterday gives the progressionist
parties nearly rs per cent. of the electoral
college which will choose st. Petersburg's
members Of the National Assembly on
April 20.
The result OF the election is regarded
as a triumph for the Constitutional Demo-
Gratis. The candidates of the leagues which
are supporting the autocracy were all de-
feated, and the Octobrists polled the lowest
votes among those elected. 1t was re-
marked that neither Premier Wittc nor
Secretary of the Interior DurnoVo voted.
The result in the large cities was in al
most all cases similar TO that in st. Peters
burg. Elsewhere conservative lando wners
were largely elected, owing to the fact
that the community, 40 a rule, ahstaiaed
from voting. The peasant electors, whose
programme is solely the distribution Of
the public lands among the peasants, are
not cooperating with The other parties.

And . Depew Letter for 8 at the Sale Of
Thomas Nast's Collections.

Thirty cents was the price paid yesterday
afternoon for a manuscript poem of Richard
A. McCurdy. The poem is called "A Day
After the Fair" and was written at Mr..
McCurdy's home at Morristown before the
Armstrong committee became a matter Of
history. The fifty or more persons present
at the second day Of the Thomas Mast sale
in the rooms of the Merwin-C Clayton Sales
Company seemed to regard the offer Of the
poem, although its four stanzas Of eight
lines were all in the handwriting Of Mr..
McCurdy. as a joke.
Only eight cents was paid for the single
letter In the Mast collection from Chauncey
NJ. Depew. Mr.. Depew did not write many
letters to the cartoonist, as he felt the latter
did not properly appreciate him or at least
misunderstood him,
