BOROUGH GOSSIP
The Purified GOWanuS Canal Is
Now Visited by Regular Fish.

For the first time In the memory OF the
oldest inhabitant Of the borough fish were
caught in the Gowanus Canal Friday. Tn
III within the last few weeks not even eels
would live I'm the in smelling slime. Then
the flushing tunnel began its work. The
tunnel runs from the head Of the canal to
the waterfront. The big turbine al the
canal end sucks the water out and forces
il into Buttermilk Channel. Every day
the water is completely changed. The
canal is almost still except when stirred
by the big pump This caused the dirt
that accumulated to stay where 1t was
In the old days until it was dredged out
Now much of the dirt flows off with the
water that is pumped through the tunnel
The smell of the water has almost gone
and the water is now so clean that 1t can
be used TO swab down the boats A few
months ago the fluid was so filthy that a
white boat looked as though it had been
painted black after few hours stay in IT,
The change has made it possible for the
fish TO live at the head of the canal. where
no fish could go and live before the tunnel
went into operation. Even though the
water was so much improved the people Of
the neighborhood thought the solitary FISH
erman crazy when he took a seat on the
bulkhead at Degraw street early Friday
morning and threw a line into the canal.
When he began pulling out sinners they
changed their minds, and many Of them
went after their own fishing tackle. BY s
o'clock forty or fifty fishermen were busy
about the bulkhead and others were to be
seen along the side Of the canal from De-
graw street far down toward Erie Basin.

TO lepair and furnish the building. This
was made known the other evening at
meeting held at the home of Mrs. A. Frank
Wilson. No. 1885 Bushwick avenue. Last
year it became evident that the work Of
the nursery had outgrown the building 1t
now occupies. and at that time the new
building was donated by Richard Weber
one of the men who has long been identi-
fed with the institution, and his sister,
Mrs. Anna II. Huss. The property is
valued at $4,000
The only condition coupled with the gift
was that the nursery assume and pay on
tho 5000 mortgage on the structure. 1t
was at that time that the allied associa-
tions came into being and took up the work
of collecting money. A firm OF the Ridge
wood section is conducting a cooking con-
test in behalf of the nursery. The firm
has offered money prizes aggregating $50
for the best cakes. pies, bread or biscuit

THE POINT AT ISSUE.
The point at issue between the par
lament at Budapest and It's sovereign
is the attempt to transfer from the hands
of the Emperor 20 those of the Hun
garian parliament the right TO call out
the entire Hungarian portion of the army
in moments of necessity. This is right
vested in the executive Of wellnigh every
nation. beginning with the President of
the United States and including King
George V. Emperor william, the Car
and the King Of Italy. In fact, it IS a
prerogative indispensable to the excr-
else Of the executive power Of great
nation. Naturally, Francis Joseph abso-
lutely refuses to make any concession
which is contrary to the terms Of the
constitution, being supported therein by
even his Hungarian ministers, and he de-
clares that sooner than yield he would
prefer to abdicate-an intimation which
was received In parliament at Budapest
with an insulting remark by the well
known politician Polonyi, man who,
though wearing on his breast an order
conferred by Francis Joseph. declared
that the old King had no power to throw
up his Job as if he were the mere direc-
tor of a company.
Matters stand thus al the present mo-
ment The Emperor remains firm, sup
ported by the entire population Of the
Dual Empire, with the exception of the
gang of Magyar machine politicians
who generally manage by trickery 20
secure the control of the lower house,
and thus to dominate the selection of the
Hungarian Cabinet, as well as to die

THE SENATE INVESTIGATION.

The whole truth about the contri- buttons si en To the republican party during Rooseye.ts campaign eight years ago by the Standard OH and Hartman will probably be known be- fore the present Investigating com mittee of the senate concludes it's sit- tings.
 As matters now stand the Hearst papers and others declare that Cor neIius \. Bliss, as chairman of the national republican committee in 1901. received from Archbold the sum of slOO.OOO as the contribution of the Standard oil Company towards the MT. Roosevelt in answer states tha, he never asked Standard oil directly or indirectly for this contribution, nor did he believe that Bliss had done so. More than this, the colonel declares that when he heard of the contribu- ton he immediately gave orders for its return. At that time Bliss and CorteIyou declared that they had no Standard oil money. but the enemies of Roosevelt now declare that the contribution had actually been made and the money spent for Roosevelt's benefit. Bliss has since died and the books have been turned over to his successor. George 4. Sheldon. who testified within the past few days be- fore the senate investigating commit tee that a contribution of ;1O0.000 had actually been made by the Standard people.
 Great trouble will be encountered, however. in the attempt to prove that Roosevelt himself was cognizant of the fact that the money had been re- ceived and made use of. He already accuses Senator Penrose and others of levelling accusations against a man whose lips are sealed by death. and he has been able 10 produce letters of his own which really contained the orders to Bliss and COrtelyou to re- fund any money given by Standard oil He denies positively ever hav- Ing discussed with Hartman the question of a contribution at all and declares that Loeb, who was then his private secretary can testify to the truth of the statement. He further declares that his only talk with Hartman was with reference to the appointment of James II. Hyde as ambassador to France which Harri- man desired.
 Senator Penrose and Archbold have
 tn declared that Bliss asked Stan dard Oil for money with Roosevelt's knowledge and consent and Mir. Roosevelt describes the statements as unqualified falsehoods. The trouble now will be to prove whether or not
 IS actually acted in a manner with which he knew his chief did not agree. although Mir. Roosevelt dis tinctly states that he cannot say, of course. whether or not Bliss said that he was acting with Roosevelts knowledge.

Mir. Roosevelt believes, however.
 that Bliss never said he had his con-
 sent and he gets back by the deciara-
 ton that two dead men. Bliss and
 Hartman. are credited with state
 ments which they are not alive to
 prove or disproye. The other evidencs
 that Roosevelt knew of the contribu-
 tions does not seem to bs by any
 means conclusive and 1t is quite pos
 sisIs after all that Mir. Roosevelt may
 be absolutely innocent In spite of the
 formidable array of witnesses who
 are prepared to testify against him
 on the other hand the books of
 Treasurer sheldon show that the con
 tributions were received and u is
 rather hard to believe that Roosevelt
 was not aware of them. He also sd-
 mits close intimacy in politics with
 close that he invited Hartman to
 give his opinions on matters of na-
 tional importance before writing mes sages on those subjects to congress. If a man could accept the advice of Hartman 1t would appear like hypO- cr!sy to refuse his money. To follow the advice of a capitalist in law mak- ins would seem to be a greater dan ger to the common people than to &C.,
 ,ept sum which could easily have been dispensed with. Besides. Vice President sherman stated that Harri man said in 1906 that Roosevelt had asked him for a quarter million con trIbution. But this MT. Roosevelt strenuously denies as he denies tn statement by Parker that the repub- Iicans had obtained contributions from the trusts by blackmail. To up- hold the charge of blackmail the eNi- dence of Senator Penrose at the f,rJn- CT investigation Is quoted. Penruss declared that 1t would be bad policy for Standard oil not to contribute but MT. Roosevelt declares that when Penrose admits having male tfjs yelled threat in bearif of the party he proved only his hIsrthine.s To represent the or.
 Loeb, who was - | secrs- .ary at the time and who is nov cUl- .ector of the port of New York. backs Ip his former chief. He declares he sas present at the time when Mir Hartman says Roosevelt ask, l hin Tor funds but Mir. Loeb denIvs that MT. Roosevelt did any such t... IS. 0n he contrary Mir. Loeb states that at .hat time Mir. Hartman had asked Mir. Roosevelt to give some of the na- tional campaign fund for use in the in New York state. Loeb also bears out the statement of Mir Roosevelt to the effect that the latter had ordered any contributions made by Standard oil to be refunded.
 On the whole IL looks as though no direct proof has been adduced against Roosevelt but Hearst says that he has documents to prove Roosevelts guilt in the matter and he threatens 10 produce them If Archbold. Penrose and the rest do not come forward | md make a clean breast of the whole | lffair. What Hearst says may be so. | put even he might let his imagina ion run a little bit away with him md there may still be much difficulty | 10 prove that Roosevelt is directly responsible for accepting the contri- buttons in question. A few days may ell all, but at present the telegraphic dispatches contain nothing which ould be regarded as conclusive proof f Roosevelt's guilt.
