DurY OF THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY.

THE Republicans who we're elected to City Coun-
4 Gil in the recent election have held conference
relative to the policies they will pursue following
their induction into Office The understanding is that
complete harmony prevailed, and that the Councilmen
elect agreed go into abide by the decision of
caucus. whenever It may be deemed advisable to hold
one That is II should be- The Republicans will
be clear working majority in our next City Council,
and to hoped that they will perform their duties
in a busness-ke way that will be in keeping with
the ante-electon pledges In the matter Of electing
the several officers they should go into fully
determined to abide by the decision of the majority,
no matter what that decision may be- No member
should stulufy himself by a display Of dog-in-the-
manger spirit, such has been shown by President
of Council Benson who thus far has prevented the
election Of the Republican caucus nominees for build
ing inspector and milk inspector. II must be recog-
nIzed the outset that there will not be enough Of
fees allot one to each Councilman. Naturally they
will be divided among the several wards which went
Republican. In making that allotment the considera-
tions should be the the applicants the inter-
est Of the public. and the interest of the Republican
party, which is committed to give TO the people nom
est, economical and businesske administration.
The Republican party has been continued in power
by an almost unprecedented plurality The Taxpayers
voters have given to it magnificent vote Of
hdence Those who will represent that party aud the
National Progressive party city administration
during the next two should cooperate heartily
and unselhshngly with Mayor Howell to show to the
public that its confidence rot misplaced and
abused. Such a will court for more ct the
end Of two years than all the campaign pledges and
other getting devices resortsd TO by Democratic
politicians. II should be recognized now that it is
within the power the Republican majority Of the
coming City Council TO do much 10 make TO
Mayor Howells second administration. There can be
opinions as TO the duty of that Republican
jtrity.

GOSSIP OF THECOU

The naval and military tournament
al Olympia was more popular this
year than last, because the program
was better than ever. There were
two performances daily until June z,
and the financial results added ma
terially TO the 10000 pounds which has
already been devoted to naval and
military charities. For the first time
In the history OF the tournament the
public has an opportunity of seeing
the preliminary heats in the compe-
titions. There we're so many com
petitors-750 In all-that the whole
of the morning, every day, had to be
devoted to wedding them out They
we're all picked men, chosen in regi-
mental contests, and the bouts were
remarkably keen. Arrangements were
made by which members of the pub
lie on paying a half crown gained ad-
mission TO Olympia.
There we're so many popular fea-
lures in the tournament that is it diff
fcult to say which was the most high
ly esteemed. Among the two or three
that could be picked out the inter
port naval field gun competition held
a place. In the centre of the course
action is a thirty-foot chasm, which
had to be crossed by means of rigging
sheers and sending the gun and geel
across on a wire jackstay.

competition pretty hard was the physi.

stration of the exercises which have
been introduced to improve the activ-

Some Londoners have been heard t
say that they are getting rather tired
OF the musical rides; others cannof
have too much of them. The Eigh-
teenth Hussars, who provided the ride
during the second week of the tourna
ment, introduced a novelty into theil

vive it. Each of the eleven chapels
w.ich are comprehended in that grand
eoifice. will be adorned with mosaic,
several of them already are complete,
but an immense amount of work still
remains to be done, not only in the
chapels, but in the decoration of the
general structure.
At Westminster Cathedral is found
Miss Gertrude Martin, who is able to
boast that she is the only woman mas
tel mosaic worker in England. The
wcrk in which she and her assistants
have been engaged in the Lady Chapel
for close on two years includes the
altar picture of the Virgin and Child,
and four carved panels. containing
cartoons of the prophets-Isaiah,
jeremiah, Daniel and Ezekiel
The old mosaic workers of st.
Marks, Venice, used to work on the
wall, but It seems to have become to
great extent a lost art. Modern
Italian mosaic is quite different and
is done by fixing the glass on paper
and then transferring it. 1t can never,
of course, have the effect of real mo-
sale. One has to be a good judge OF
cclor its value in mosaic, and what
| it will look like at a distance. The
glass is of innumerable tints. The
Venetians had something like $4,000
varieties Perhaps there are not quite
SO many now, but they are very nu-
merous.
The ocean mystery caused by the
six-year derelict French cruiser re-
calls that in 1894 there we're so many
shipwrecks caused by derelict vessels
| that more than a thousand British
captains petitioned the Admiralty tc
take some means of destroying this
menace to shipping. Some of these
abandoned ships travelled extraordi-
nary distances and we're seen many
times. The Fanny &. Wolstin, for in
stance, which was abandoned October
lis, 1891, travelled 1000 miles before
she was last seen in December, 1893
While the W. L. White, abandoned or
March IS, 1883, eighty miles from New
York, subsequently was recognized BY
! forty-hve vessels and went ashore
, January %. 1889, off the Hebrides
after having Travelled 5906 miles.
The greatest ocean mystery was
that of the Marie Celeste, a trading
brig, which left Boston in February
1876, with nineteen persons on board
including the captains wife and little
daughter. Some weeks after she was
sighted off Gibraltar under full sail
A boats crew boarded her, but founC
not a soul on board Yet there was Z
lhalf-consumed meal on the cabiI
table, a child's garment on the sew
inc machine. and the captains watcl
was still ticking by his berth. There
was plenty of food and water, the YES
sci was quite seaworthy, nothing o
value had been taken, there was NJ
evidence of piracy or mutiny, and th'
boats still hung in the davits. TIT
fate Of the nineteen people who saile'
from Boston never was discovered.
