tie newspapers his observations Of
what he considered wrong in the ad-
ministrations of the police department

magistrate of the city to reform both
the procedure in the court and the con-
duct and practices Of the police, whose
head he has made himself actually

mayoralty.
Persistence in this method and in
acts of this sort gave him hold on
the community's attention which was
never relaxed and it made him also

police abuses was due the present en-

Mayor Gaynor based his plea for votes
on his pledge TO give the city busi-

the laws evenly and alike and making
the police proper servants of the peo.

DID THE ALABAMA SURRENDER :
A New Light Thrown Upon the Fam

the Alabama and the kearsarge gath
cred from the French newspaper LIE
Phare, published in C~hcrbourg, near

From the beginning of the fight
the two ships presented the ~starboard
side to each other. IN a series OF
circles, perhaps five or six, during
which the Alabama continually sought
to close in on her enenny, in which tha
distance betWeen the ships varied
from 500 to 200 metres and lasting
about al hour. nan shots were ex-
changed. less We'll aimed on the part
Of the Confed crate. pointed with pa
thence and accuracy my the Federal,
| whose gunners had had experience.
Nevertheless, at the outset, the Kear-
sarge received a shot a~fnidsh:ps, which
perhaps, without her covering, might
have sunk her. She received several
other shots which injured the cover
ing. Her smokestack was several
times struck, and q ball in the stern
| post came within six inches Of the
rudder.
THE Alabama also at the outset,
received a shot amidships, which
struck her engine. and from this time
on. the crew worked and fought IN
wafer above the knee. some say ABOVE
the waist. A second shot settled her
| fate. breaking the screw and bringing
her down by the stern, which threw
| her bow in the air.
Even before the fna blow, the
Alabama had slackened fire, and was
letting her steam escape. The kear-
SARGE kept up her fire from a consid-
! cradle distance; then after several
minutes the Confederate raised her
| forward sails and very evidently vas
trying to reach shore. h Federal
never let up on the fire.
Here took place an episode about
which some doubt has arisen. Did
/ Captain Senmes strike his flag? And.
in CONSEQUENCE did the Fed eral stop
firing? Every one agrees that for an
instant the flag disappeared, but Il
is thouoht that this came
from the breaking Of the ha}yard-
