Maj. Sylvester's Comment.

Major Sylvester was elated when he heard
of the passage of the measure. He told a
Star reporter this afternoon that he was
glad to know that the members of his de-
partment are to receive compensation more
commensurate with their work than they
had heretofore received. The measure as
heretofore stated. makes provision for a
number OF promotions and appointments
and Major Sylvester said this afternoon
that anticipatin favorable action upon
the measure, he had already selected tho
members of his command who are to re-
ceive the promotions.
They are to be selected upon merit, Maj.
Sylvester says and they will be submitted
to the Commissioners soon as the bill
becomes a law. Under the provisions OF
the bill the present lieutenants are to be-
come captains and are to have charge OF
the precints, with iieutenants to be in
charge of the precincts at night. Ten ser
geants are to be promoted to fill these po-
stions. and there Is considerable rivalry
among the men for the positions. The pas
sage of the bill means an Increase In the
salary of almost every member of the force

PoLICH BILL PASSED
BETTER PAY AND NUMEROUS
PROMOTIONS NOW ASSURED.

The Senate this afternoon passed House
bill 1884 relating to the Metropolitan po-
lice of the District OF Columbia. The gem
eral purposes OF this legislation arc to pro-
vide Increased compensation for members
OF the police force. to provide promotion
for privates of the force after they have
served three ana five years. and 10 provide
for the preservation ana enforcement OF
discipline In the force.
The total Increase In salaries provided Is
SHEA These increases were given ON the
ground that tho cost OF living In the Dis
trict has greatly increased within the past
few years and that the compensation paid
members Of tho force is insufficient.
The bill provides for three classes Of prt-
Yates, one to receive $500 per annum, who
after three years service shall be paid
Sl,eso per annum. and after five years
service 81, zoo per annum.
At the present time the force is divided
INTO two classes. one receiving 5000 and
the other $1,000 per annum. The bill Will
result In 147 privates who today receive
prtvates being advanced from 81 oSo to
$1,000. 1t will leave something like 100
members of the force who will not be
benefited at present by the increase. This
Is the first Increase the privates of the
force have had since 1850.
Various provisions are made which II Is
believed will result in Improvement in
the discipline OF the force. This legisia
ton does not increase the number OF pri-
Yates. but makes provision for an assistant
superintendent of police at s25o0 per an
mum. There are also created offices for
three inspectors. who are to perform duties
now assigned to the captains. phe bill
provides for the appointment of three
police surgeons at 81 800, instead of four at
$40 One section of the bill relates TO the
creation of trial boards for the disposition

Next House Uncertain.

NEw YoRK, August l9.-No hard headed
unsympathetic politician can figure on the
coming election for members of Congress
without realizing that Republican House OF
Representatives in the Sixtieth Congress IS
very much in doubt.
No one knows this better than Representa-
tive James s. Sherman. chairman of the Re-
publican Congressional Committee. Mr.. Sher-
man is good politician, and he rs playing
the game sseli just now he rs engaged IN
putting to sleep the Democrats and the labor
allies of the Democrats. That IS the meaning
of his statement made on Saturday to the Re
publican newspapers that the House was safely
Republican on the prosperity Issue.
Mr. Sherman had admitted within short
time 10 the President and other admlnistra-
ton leaders, however, that the Republicans
stood 10 lose 40 seats that they now hold In
the House. This would mean q drop from
the majority of ll2 elected in November, 1904,
10 n majority of only 80 in the Sixtieth Con-
gress.
II Is frankly conceded that no living man
who feels that there will be q loss of 40 Con
cressional districts to his party can safely
make the prediction that the loss veil not be
so, or perhaps more, and loss of So districts
woald lie the House This is due entirely to
almost unparalleled conditions in the Repub-
ican party organizations in dozen States
and 10 agitation along socialistic lines for the
destruction of parties, which is now sweeping
along like prairie fire. The districts that
Mr.. Sherman expects To lose evidently are
those which were carried by the Democrats in
1902 and were swept into the Republican
column by the phenomenal run of Mr.. Roose-
Welt in 1904 These districts are situated thus:
