London, september l7.---The English
opinion upon the Maine landslide Ia
naturally dominated by the English
ideas as to how Democratic admin
istrat.on would affect English inter
ests The first instinct Of the Liberals
is to claim the election Of Demo-
cratic Governor as one more illustra-
ton of the discredit and unpopularity
which results from the policy of pro-
lection run mad The second lis to
reflect that turn about is fair play,
and that 1t is high time the Demo-
Gratis had an inning. The third Is to
wonder whether, II a Democrat once
more sat In the White House. Amer
lean relations with Great Britain
would be as continuously friendly as
they have been since Cleveland raised
a rumpus about Venezuela; and the
fourth is to ask what effect the vic
tory IN Maine will have upon the fu-
ture of Roosevelt.
To answer the last question first,
the general impression among those
who follow American politics with
some attention Is that Democratic
victory Will put Republicans upon
their mettle. and render the re-estab-
lishment of party union in their ranks
a matter OF life and death. Hitherto
the Republicans felt so certain Of
their ability to Hold the White House
against any Democratic candidate that
they could afford to play tricks and
indulge in the luxury of interneclne
conflicts. That is now at an end.
Again In the Running.
The Democratic victory in Maine re-
veals the fact that once again after
twenty years the Democrats have a
1ghting chance in the next presiden-
tiaI election. This makes for dIsci-
pline all round. Either the Progress
sives must kill off the bosses or the
bosses must crush Roosevelt and the
Insurgents. That y the outsiders
view.
me progress of the evolution OF
Theodore Roosevelt from an express
ident barred by his own declarations
against a third term into a full-bIown
ethical pontiff of American politics is
watched here with keen interest. Week
by week 1t seems to he more certain
that Oyster Bay Is to be the Vatican of
the New World. and that Roosevelt
will not attain the apotheosis until he
has been acclaimed the heaven sen,
Hildebrand of the twentieth century.

Mr.. Waller was seen at Sheffield las,

"A great deal OF nonsense has been

Beginning tomorrow night the

G. Donehue, secretary of the COM
mission, stating just what work had
been done by the new board and
some of the plans for the future.
In the communication it was
stated that the ground had been
gone over carefully by the commits
sioners and that number of dead
trees had already been removed. The
secretary, in his letter, also stated
that the cost of the work so far, in
Guiding expenditures for tools, had
only been $110. The letter also
stated that there was little to be
done by the commission until trim
ming time, which would be during
July and August, when the trees
throughout the city would be put In
proper shape. That the street COM
missioner had aided materially In
the work by carting away the dead
trees was also stated In the letter.
The aldermen were also informed in
the document that the board would
meet in the city hall, in a room to be
designated by the council.

AN INCREASE

Beginning yesterday, a general in

Railroad Company. This affects
probably hundred men employed in

by the company.
A few months ago most Of the
men in the coal department received
Increases of from eighteen and one
half cents to twenty cents an hour. SO
far as can be learned, no demands
were made on the company, but the
present increase was granted volun-
tarily, because of the high cost of
living, etc. At present everything is

BRIDGE TO BE BUILT
OVER 1. v. R. r.

Steps toward the extension of
Convery place from the southerly
side of Sayre avenue to Smith street
and Fox Hill road were taken at a
meeting of the Board of Aldermen
last night, when a resolution, sub
mitted by Alderman Sandbeck, In
structing City Clerk LaRoe to pub
lish notice that 1t was the intention
of the council to introduce an ordi-
nance to provide for the improve
ment, was adopted.
The extension of Convery place
has been desired by the residents of
that part Of the city for long time
and some time ago the aldermen
were petitioned to make the desired
Improvement. Convery place, at
present, is only one block in length,
running from New Brunswick ave-
nue. southerly to Sayre avenue. Its
extension to Smith street means the
building Of bridge across the Le-
high Valley railroad. Whether the
city would have to pay for the bridge
Alderman-at-Large Voorhees, says is
question. 1t is possible that the
railroad company could be made to
construct it, but that question will
be settled later. 1t is the intention
of the aldermen to give the people of
that section OF the city what they
need-a short cut to Smith street
and an ordinance to that effect will
be introduced shortly. Under the
present conditions the residents of
that locality cannot reach Smith
street except by a long, roundabout
route.

GRAFT CHARGE
IN COUNCIL AT
N. BRUNSWICK
ispsoial to the EVENING NEWS.

'-sBecial to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, May S:-Alder-
man Peter Kinney made the dec
laration at the meeting of common
council last night that the agent for
the bitulithlc people had told him
tnat he had to settle In town al
the time the former bitulithic con,
tract was made here for paving some
Of the city streets. The graft aIlega-
tion as stated by Mr.. Kinney created
something of sensation.
After what Mr. Turner told me-
declared Mr.. Kinney, "I'll never vote
for yard of bitulithic in this city
whether my time in the board is
long or short. He told me that at
the time the brick deal went through
that he could have saved the city
$4,000, but there were so many
damn grafters here that he had to
put that much in his bid
This statement was made by the
alderman during a discussion over
the paving of Easton avenue. When
bids were received for this work
three or four weeks ago the prop
erty owners petitioned for bitulithic
pavement in that avenue. Following
the bids petition was presented by
some OF these same property owners
asking that they be permitted to
withdraw the former petition. They
then favored brick because 1t was
cheaper. A second petition was also
presented by other property owners
for brick.
