Whitney Preposes to IicaTe WashinstoB—SatisDed Willi His Brilliant Record as Sayal Secretary and Ready for the GeTernorsliip. [Special to the Eaglo.] WAsniNGTON, D. C., June 13. When a month ago the E aqlb announcert on tuo Btrenglh of tlio highest possible authority that Sec retary William Collins Whitney would give up the naval portfolio and tomporarily withdraw from na tional politics, the Idea, at first, was scouted hy those alleged wiseacres professing to ho thoroughly acQualQtod with all changes contemplated In the ItaloWoscopo of capital lifo. Gradually, however, the nows has come to be accepted, and Just now all the political gossips aro assigning causes for this popular CabiuetofflclaVs retirement His reputed ill health has been widely paraded as his reason for the action. Others declare that he wi-hes to devote some attention to bla private affairs, which have been much neglected for the past four rears. Another and favorite hypothesis refers to the supposed anxiety of Mrs. Whitney to go abroad and, as the wife of an envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, shine in the court of ouo Of the effete monarchies of Europe. There has been no limit to the Improbable, unfounded guesses. The good natured gentleman with whose name • ’ BO many liberties have recently been taUen in this i;.;,- - connection Is naturally averse to being bo constantly mlsrepresentod. Ho preferred to lot the gosslpers exhaust their varied resources; but ns tuts uevoutiy •' desired consummation soemod to become more and U'V: more remote ho reluctantly authorizod a statement to bo made to-day. lie said: “As to the rumor that I am to retire from the Cabinet you can easily see it would bo premature for me to say anything in regard to it. I could not ^ y t h a t I shall continuo in the Cabinet during the wext four years, for I have not been ashed, although I suppose It Is quite likely that after re-eleoiion Mr. Cleveland would ash me to remain in his Cabinet. Then, for a good many reasons, I could not very iwoll say a t present that I moan to’retire. If I had such an intention I should certainly consider It my duty to make it known to the President before com- muuicatiug it to the newspapers” The first and possibly the favorite hypothesis advanced for the coming change is that of the i - I- I- P/ ■ P - p S /: ! - ■ IP; Secretary's ill health. Anyone who has soon the pink skin and clear eyes, the elastic step and erect carriage of Mr, Whitney during the past Spring will be surprised to hoar that ho baa bccoDiO au invalid. He rides about the couatry upon a big black horse that no one but himself and the lieuten ant of the Royal Danish Cavalry who recently was -rfs-. , riding tDjSjBTPr’^V-ihe Bedford Ridlug Academy In ^ir'r'Hfifooklyn would dare mount. Ho greets hlu friends ^ ' X. __ a.m. _ .V .A . V.a»Si....a ♦ rv.. <...a t r. P s ; - ; r' T-y- iP SB r ?\;■ 33- ip : vP . with a hand clasp that frequently brings tears to their eyes, and altogether there Is undoubtedly no healthier man in Washington than this invalid who is able to spend a large part of his time on the rail road between here and New York, lu regard to his supposed lack of physical vitality he has this ttate- meat to make: “They say (referring to the published reports), that my physician advises my retirement from tho Cabinet on account of my health, wliich is supposed to be rather feeble. Now, that Is not correct. My health, I am glad U say, is very good. I have not been taking much advice of any kind from my doc- t«r for six mouths past, aud haro not needed any.” Ill health is not worrying Mr. W’bitney half as much as it is the gossips. Nor do his private af fairs need much attention on bis part. Ills law practice has been so long neglected that no one can, foran instant, think thathe has any intention of resuming ik The only private affairs ho has had . for a long. time—nearly as long as he himself can .:- v, remember—have boon tho domestic affairs within ’y-' •• his own family, and no one who has visited his town : houses in New York or here, no one who has bueu favored with an invitation to Grasslands can for au Instant believe that he has neglected the affairs of >; his family and homo. No one who sees his dovo- ■. tion to the brilliant wife, the oldor children, now at home from boarding school on their annual vaca- ,.P tion, and little Dorothy will bellovo that ho could :'P ' ever have needed the time to devoto moro attention ‘•.P to them. The idea is as preposterous as tho one IP : Which paints him as a wasting invalid, blindly pP Becking the goddess Hygeia, whosUs placidly upon his shoulder. P - ; Then there Is the revival of lhat senseless! itory that Mrs. Whitney, the leader of Washington so- Ip ciety, who divides with tho fair mistress of tho • ■ ‘White Houao the honor of being the moat popular hostess here, does cot liko the national capital and nsisls upon becoming a social queen regnant in I--;;, one of the European capitals. It is not at all un- Ppl-P likely that .Mrs. Whitney has missed her usual Cou- tlnental tours during tho last four years and fre quently wishes to ruu abroad for a change, but no one believes that she wishes to stay there. Although no one can bo quoted In douial of this rumor, from an unquestioned source it is learned that this sup posed reason for the Secretary’s contemplated re moval from Washington has littlo or no foundation except lu a contingency that Is very unlikely to oc cur, as will bo evident later. The plain fact of the whole matter aud the one that the soers fail to see is that Mr. \Vhitney la both young and ambitious. He does not propose to apologize for the absence of gray hairs. Ho is am bitious after the fashion of successful men, and be is going to leave tho cabinet because he, in common with everyone of lutelllgeuce, be lieves a Cabluet position Is not a good Bteppiog stone to higher political preferment. He will leave tho cabinet because he has nothing further to gaiu by remaining in it. He bas made hlB record as a Secretary of tho Navy, indeed sur- S - 3 i p ■■ ... i p S p . .. i ; I passed all recent records as the bead of that do- partmenk lie has reorganized the entire naval Bystem of this country, roplacod extravagance aud theft by economy and honesty and substituted for wooden hulks steel ships competent to cope with the war vessels of the groat armed powers, lie has inaugurated tho entire rehabUimeut of Uie - navy, aud all Iho work that can possibly bo done by the Dulted States for several years I'll to come has been carefully mapped oak The ships are being completed as fast as the con- tractors have agreed, and there Is nothing new to ' , ‘ be inaugurated until at least 1890 or 189A No mat- \ ' ■ ter who succeeds Mr. Whitney as Secretary of the Navy, the credit will go to the man who is respon- Blble for all that can be accomplished during his successor’s term of office, and consequently little could he gained hy four moro years of work as Sec retary. Mr. Whitney sees all this clearly, so he has decided to let President Clevelaud appoint a new Secretary of the Navy next March, and is going into training for new honors. Mr. Whitney Is a power In New York politics. Although not the only New York man now la the Cabinet, since the death of Daniel Manning he has been the exclusive repreaentatlve of the Admlnls- Iratlon in the affairs of his owu State.

HARD TO PICK The Winner of the Great Race Tc-morrow. Firo Horses Supposed to 1)« Intlneible. Terra Cotta, Fireozi, Hidalgo. Linden and Joe Cotton Celling on Nearly Eyen Terms. “ I f we h a v e as fine a day to-m orrow as this 5ay is moro pooplo will bo hero toseo tho Subur ban run off than over wUuessod any race In this couiltry,” said Frank Clark, superintondent of the Sheepshead Bay course, to an E agle reporter this morning. A largo force of painters carpeatora and acrubwomeu wore busy today giving tho finitshing touches to tho handsomest grand stand in the country. The track was thick with diist aud but two or throe horses wore out for work. The great cracks were iu their stables resting for to morrow’s groat contest. Nearly all of them had their trials yesterday. A group of horsemen stood near tlie Judges’etauJ lazily dlBCuasing tho merits of tlio horses which aro to compete with each other in tho most interesting racing event of tho year. “ There has boon nothing of account doiio down here to-day. Most of the Suburban candidates aro at tho oiher track,” taid Suporinteudeut Clark. 1 can’t understand why Linden is considered such a good thing lor tho Suburban,’’ remarked Billy Hawkshurst, the good looking owner ot Frolia “ The race that made Linden a favorite for tho Suburban was the one he won on Saturday at Jerome Park. It was a close thing between Liudou and Brown Duko, and Llndon will have to meet better horses to-morrow. Ho rau tho Suburban dlaiauco la 2:11 and a fraction, and bad all ho could do to wiu. It la said that tho Jerome track on Saturvlay was two seconds slower than this track will bo to-morrew. Admittlug this to bo truo, two seconds less than tho timo Linden won in would make his time 2:09. I think there will be some thing in to-morrow’s race that will get down con siderably lower than 3:09, and you must bear Iu mind that the record is 2:07. If Terra Cotta is any thing like as good as ho is represented to be ho ought to bo oue of tho throo first horses under tho wire.” “ Don’t overlook Firenzl to-morrow,” said Hawks- hursl’s keen eyed colored trainer. “ That mare is going mighty well. Sho worked a mile and a quarter at Jerome yesterday Iu 2:11)^, aud I tell you she looks mighty good.” Charley Ochs made his appearance a t this Juac- turo. All the veteran turfmen know tho Jolly, shrewd and bustling Charley. Horse racing with him is a passion; ho is up with the lark in tho morning to see them work, and a first class horse has more beauty in Charley’s eyes than tha works of the old maslors. Consequently his opinions con cerning thli and that horse are treated with ro- spoct. “ Anything done a t the Brooklyn track this morn ing ?” tho reporter asked. “ Not much,” replied Ochs. “ But Terra Cotta bad a trial and wont very woll.” “ Did tbo milo and a quarter in 2:14,1 bear.” “ Agood dual bettor thau that,” said Charley, with ompbasls. “ Uoweutthe route iu aud did it easy, too. Idou’c think they will be able to boat that fellow.” Uohs’ opinion is concurred In by many Western turfmen. To use the language of one of tbo num ber: “ Terra Cotta is a clinker and be will carry bales of our money to-morrow.” And yot, in tbe few hours that Iniervono between now and the dropping of tho starter’s fiag to morrow, Terra Cotta may go amiss and not be able to beat a Brighton BoaeU crack. At present, how- ovor, tho backora of Terra Cotta fool verycomtorta- blo. Tho report that Triboulet mado a trial trip in 2:07 was discredited in yesterday’s E agle and turns out to be untrue. Yot bo is unquostlouably fast His trial was made In 2:llj^. ITaggins’ string came to Sboopsboad this muruiug, Ben All, tbe rogue, lazily bringing up tho rear. Hidalgo looks well. On Sunday he covered the Suburban distance in 2:11. He will be piloted by that great fiuisher, the colored Jockey Hamilton. Ho will be in the hu n t Bauburg mado tho miles at Jerome In 2:12. It is thought he will do better at Sheepshead Bay, whore his long legs will not tangle, as they did on the winding course at Joronio. Dunboyne and Blue Wing are horses of mystery. Tho former made a trial trip yesterday in 2 :10>^ and yet the report is circulated that he is not well. Because of this report some of tho old timers of raco courses will place a few dol lars on Dunboyno to-morrow, If he starts, as “a saver” for money Invasied In another direction. Blue Wing bas not shown anything in public to warrant tbo bellof that be can win tbe Suburban, but his owner, Captain Sam Browu, is coming on from Pittsburg to see him run. County Clork Elliott, who was down to the Brooklyn track this morning to look after nis horses, said to tho writer: “ Look out for Blue Wing. 1 don’t say that he will win, but tho horse U ia tho bauds of a mighty slick trainer, and no ono seems to know bow good Blue Wing really is.” Inquiries on the part of tbo reporter elicited the unsatisfactory Information that “ Blue Wing has been a cripple, you know. Ho is iu fairly good shape. Perhaps Blue Wing will win, but Terra Cotta, Firenzl aud Joe Cotton are in great shape.” Many hopes will bo shattered if Joe Cotton fails to come to tbe post lu good condition to-morrow, and yet it h feared that if he does start tbe pace will be so hot for the first mile that he wtU bleed at the nose. But bo bas broken records and bU ad mirers will run tbo chances of his bursting a blood vosscL Tbe E agle reporter visited a half dozen or more stables, and the list of sure winners of the Suburban given him lucludes the following names: Terra Cotta, Hidalgo, Firenzl, Liudon, Joe Cotton, Dunboyne, Blue Wing.

[Special to tho Eagle.] C hicago , IIL, June 13. Tho skirmishers for the rival candidates are al ready on the ground. They turned out this morn ing in a fog. Before noon the skies brightened and the booms began to prow. Portraits of AlUson, Gresham and Alger were hoisted In the Grand Pa cific rotunda last night, th i s morning a Hoosler statesman added to the collection a lifo size portrait of Benjamin Harrison. Pictures of other favorite sons are boiug prepared. Oue of Depew is anxiously looked for by tho curious crowd of tbe West. Gresham has a monopoly of the local sentiment. Chicago is practically solid for him. Tbo [Judge is the only candidate on tbo ground. Ho is here net for politics, but for judioial duty. He break fasted quietly at the Palmer this morning, and walked up to the United Stales Court as uncon cernedly as though the town was net sounding his praises. The Gresham headquarters was opened this morning in a big corner room of the Grand Pacific. A rod, white and blue banner over the door bore tbe Judge’s name. Beautiful portraits of Gresham, Grant and Lincoln adorned the walls. Half a dozen bright, clean cut Illinoisans received callers. Among them wasJlidgo Clark, of Mattoon,a delegate at largo from this Stale. He talked freely of yesterday’s conference of Illinois leaders at Chi cago. Reports that the delegation is wavering In its support of Gresham, be said, wore incorrect. There Is, however, a little doubt of the perfect solid ity of tho Illinoisans for thoir adopted son if the workers of Sherman, Allison or Alger can effect a break. Among tbe people tho sympathy of \the Common wealth is clearly for Gresham. His danger Is that,, tho potltlcians do uot always represent the masses. The programme of Illinois now Is to have Leonard Swett, of Chicago, present his name and to have * Senator Davis, of Minnesota, make tho chief sup- • porting spcecli. Gresham’s cause is lacking in managori. All Indianians who prefer him to Uar- rlaou have been summoned to a conference to-mor row morning. Of the visible supply of booms that of Alger Is second to Gresham’s in prominence, Alger’s friends have opened house In tbe Grand Pacific, but their banner is not yet on tho outer walls. Senator Palmer came over from Detroit last night to help along the Michigander. To-day be was re inforced by the Hon. Roswell G. Horr, the fat hu morist of East Saginaw, wlio Is trying to carry Alger through with a crop of chestnut stories from the Peulnaular. Tho Alger men have a barrel on tap, at which tbe thirsty darkey from Cottonlaud Is Invited to drink. They deny the accusations of **boodle” tactics, but the accusations are true all tho same, Alger Is said to have expended $100,000 already on his can didacy for tho nomination. Ills friends use the e x traordinary argument that without him Michigan is a doubtful State for the RepubUcaus. One of Depew's friends remarked to an Algor man to-day: “You say that Depow can’t carry Michigan. Well, Alger can’t carry New York with or without his barrel, so you see that what is sauce for the New York goose is sauce for the Michigander.” John Shermau’s friends are slowly gathering. Chairman Capfollar, of the Ohio ^tato Committee, who has had the Sherman boom in the hot room of a TuAclsh bath for several days, was rejoiced this morning when he saw tho white mustache and fine Roman nose of Murat Halsted sail out from Cincinnati. Halsted said to tho E agle correspond ent that Sherman would have a big lead on tho first ballot, aud that he stood the best chance for tho nomination. Ills main chance is Ohio, Peim- sylvanla and the South. Adjutant General Hast ings, of the Keystone State, is to nominate him as tho arrangement stands, and Foraker ia to •second. All there is yet of the Allison boom in Chicago is Rhet Clarke, of Des Moines. Ho la an army in himself. The Depew batteries will not be open until the New Yorkers reach tlie shores of Lake Michigan. Thou, unless Depew vetoes It, there will bo a wild hurra for New York’s favorite son. Tbo National Committee ia called to meet to-morrow morning. IU» members are comlug lu slowly. At noon the Gresham and Alger headquarters were crowded. Gresham’s supporters claim that he la second choice of nearly all the Indiana men. This is angrily disputed by John C. New. He says Indiana Is for Harrison, first, last and all the time. The Indiana split is widening aud great bitterness prevails between the coniendlng (actions. Humor ist Horr Is augry because every Republican paper in Chicago is booming Gresham. “We’ll show them before we aro through,” ho said, “ that the newspapers don’t do the nominating.” Horr Insists that Alger Is tho coming man. Opponents of the Michigander say that if he and his barrel are put up the motto of the canvass will be, “Alger, Aslnln- Uy and Aunibllatlon.” When the Brooklyn delegation and Its accom panying modest retinue of shouters gets to Chicago it will find the wide door ot the Grand Pacific Hotel open to receive the aggregation. It may convoy a bit ot comfort to plump personages like Granville W. Harman and Supervisor Theodore B. Willis to know that no peril is contiugont to compel two Brooklyn men to sleep in ono bed. The quarters of the Brooklyn folks will be on tho third floor, pleasantly below the Chicago smoke level, and it wouldn’t bo very amazing if they were all put in ono room. Eight cots and one walnut bedstead form tho Bomnolential of a convention apartm ent The bedstead will hold two, and Chicago Is gleefully packing rooms full of cots and shouting lustily that there won’t be the least bit of crowding. This Is a comforting hut inaccurate assurance. There will he an awful crowd and every mattress in Chicago will be occupied. According to samples already seen most of them are constructed to hold a man about four feet long. Fortunately the cots are low, and tbo wearied delegate cau rest his feet on the floor. Last night the new and great auditorium, where the convention Is to meet, was illuminated in the presence of a select company. Three thousand electric lights combined to make it beautiful aud live hundred more in colored globes made a gor geous rod, white and blue shield of liberty on tho proscenium. The building will seat 8,200 people and every one of these will be able to see the chairman’s platform when tho groat day comes. Tnen tho big hall is to bo enwrapped with half a rallo of bunting, aud such outside glories aro cou- teroplated as will make the wild West gather about and yell for Joy. The wild West expects to take a big hand In run ning tbiugs tills time, anyway. It Is furniBbiug all the healthy candidates aud all tho noise and talks condoBcoudingly of giving New York some good little thing, liko the Vico Presidency. Tho haughty Michiganders, who set their souls on Algor, wore plnlug to-day to know what Brooklyn thought about such a combination of saw logs and boodle as Alger and Morton would bo. They were told that tho Brooklyn men had been chosen for Blaine and wore now waiting the choice of their State colleagues. Michigan looked sad a t this. Somehow a word had reached Detroit that the Brooklyn mea bad con gealed for the lumberman, but they have not. It will not ho the fault of Michigan If the Alger boom Is not a loud and portentous thing. Three thousand Wolverines are coming over the border to howl weirdly by the lakeside In voices strident with resin from their own and Alger’s pines.

Ho Is weighted down with a big secret, but refuses positively to be interviewed. Mr. Jones has a letter in his pocket from James G. Blaine, which is to he read upon the assembling of the National Conven tion next Tuesday. It states that In terms that cannot be mistaken Mr. *JIlaIne’3 position in regard to tho Presidency, and settles for good aud all the question of his candidacy. In neither of tbo previous epistles from Floreuce and Paris did Mr. Blalno state positively that bo would not accept tho nomination if tendered him, In tbe letter that Chairman Jones has this declaration ia most emphatically made. Under no circumstances, Mr. Blalno says, will he permit the use of his name name at Chicago, nor would he accept wore the Presidential nomination unanimously tendered him. Ho further goes on to Indicate that Senator John Sherman, of Ohio, is hIs pref erence,; aud advises the convention to place him a t the head of tbo Republican national ticket. Continuing, Mr. Blaine gives quite a lengthy dis sertation on tho tariff, touches tho important issues of the day and predicts, in glowing terms, a glori ous victory for the Republican party In November, He contrasts the campaigns of 1884 and 1888, and shows how this year all the odds aro Is favor of the Republicans. It Is said that Senator Sherm.m and Mr. Blalue have un derstood each other on tho question of the Presidency for several mouths, and that even be fore tbe Maine’s man doparluro for Europe an ar rangement had been entered into between them, whereby Sherman was to receive Blaine’s support for the nomination and elocliou,and that in case of the elevation of Sherman to the White House, Blalue is to be his Secretary of Stato. It is also staled that Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, was acquaint ed with all tho details of tho Blaine-Sherman agreement. Hence his active work In tho latter’s Interest. Quay ia ambitious to preside over the Re publican National Committee and to dl3pon>e tho Federal patronage of the Keystone Slate in the event of a'Republlcaa PfesMeni’s election, and for these reasons ho has taken hold of Sherman’s can vass. All this Is stated on the most reliable author ity, tho information coming trom a gentleman high In the councils of the Republican party and very near to Blaine and Sherman. FRKSU AIR FUND.

M a n y o f t h e B n ip loy e u a t th o B r o o k l y n N a r y YTard* Commissioner William A. F u rey and E d ward Kollmoyer spent several hours yesterday a t the Navy Yard. They were the guests of Assistant Constructor Hoover. The visit was reported to be of a merely social character, but, nevertheless, It occasioned no little comment, occurring, as it did, at a time when about 100 of Countructor Hoover’s employes are likely to bo laid off. The report that ties© men will be discharged followed the visit of Messrs. Furey and Kollmeyer as daylight comes with tho rising sun. The reason given for laylug off this large number of men is tbat, as the contract for the material for the new cruisers has hut Just been given to Andrew Carnegie, It will be several months before it will be available for use in tho Navy Yard, and that there will not be enough work in tbe meanwhile to keep busy the large force now on the construction pay rolls. The men to be dis charged are riveters, platers, carpentefrs and calk ers. When the material is ready, in August, there will be a rc-omployment of hands, and, with elec tion looming Joyfully in tbe near distance, a social visit may decide whether it is advisable to take back these men who are now discharged or to stock the yard with new blood.

President Howell, of the bridge trustees, said this morning that he had soot a communica tion to the Lighthouse Board, asking for a confer ence ou the quostloh of the electric lights on the bridge and their alleged laterfereuco with naviga tion.

Mr. Howell pro poses to suspend three great electrlo lights at equal Intervals between the towers under tbe bridge. These would do away with the objectiona ble shadows, would light up the river and would do away with the necessity aud expense of substitut ing screened globes on the fifty-four lamps that light the bridge between the towers.

Tho engine struck the curve and the forward wheels mounted the rails. The wooden guard, however, prevented their going further, and as the train was proceeding very slowly it was Instantly stopped. Nearly an hour was consumed in getting the engine hack into place and there was a block of trains. Lockwood in recoupling the engine with the cars placed himself oh tho in side of tho curve. He failed to calculate on the short space between tbe englue and the forward car and was caught and crushed so tbat he had to be carried from the track. lie was, however, able to return to duty this morning.

A Crnghingr Answer to the State Board. What Mayor Chapin Calls a Lucid Let. ter—Preston and Sretzsehmar Csins Irresponsible and Scurrilous Attacks as Material. Mr. Edward M. Shepard, president of the civil Sorrice Cammlsslon, has written the following reply to the communication of the State Board in reference to tho rovocation of the firemen’s eligible list of October last. It is a dignified answer to the attacks upon the local body and a quiet defiance of the State Commission, while a ttho same time it pre sents the whole matter right side up before the public: „ . c ity H all , Junel2, I83a Honorable the Civil Service Commueioji of the State o Neio York: SiHS—Your communication of the 4ih Inst., lo his Honor tho Mayor of Brooklyn, Informing him that at a meeting of your Honorable Body, held on the UtiD8t.,two members of the former Civil Service Commission of Brooklyn appeared and protested agaiust the revocation by the present Commission of Brooklyn of an eligible list, and transmuting a copy of the resolution adopted by your llouorable Body on the 1st last, requesting that all action un der rule 37, as amended April 1888, be suspended until tho .Mayor aud tho present Commlssiou of Brooklyn have tad an opportunity to be heard, has beea referred by the Mayor to the Civil Service Commission of Brooklyn, with the request that it ask a hearing, If it desire one. The Mayor has also referred to tho Commission the papers officially trausmilted with your communicatio'u to him, be ing, as the Commission understands, the papers submitted upon the protest before your Houorable Body, These papers consist of newspaper- clip pings, without official or other verification, five in Bumber, and entitled as follows: 1. “ Political Shystery—K Morse Shepard Petti fogs Himself Into Notice Again.” a “Shepard’s Reform—Ills Little Civil Service JoM o he Cousummatod—The Eliglolo List Tlireat- 3. “Shepard’s-Reosons Why 307 Men Must Under go Another EzamlnatloB.” 4. “Preston Protests Against Revoking the Eligl- p “ ®*'j®^”Uniformed Firemen—.Mayor Chapin Ap- 6. Against Revoking—Candidates to a Man Want the Eligible List to Stand as It is.” No others papers are submitted, aud wo therefore assume that the two former members of this Com mission adopted these articles as the form of their protest to your Board, la behalf of the Commis- siou and upon request of the .Mayor I beg respect fully to reply to your communication. You will doubtless recall that when Mayor Chapin proposed for your concurrence, pursuant to law, certain mod- iflcaiioos of the Brooklyn regulations there was submitted to you lu his behalf and in bobalt of the Commission a written communication from tho undersigned briefly stating the reasons for the pro posed changes. No oral oommuulcation was made to your body. The written communication con tained the following passage: “Amendment No.il,KegulaUoiiNo.37.—The power to revoke any schedule, list or other paper or record is probably implied in tbe power to correct any error and ameud any schedule, list or other paper or record. But the Mayor and the Brooklyn Com mission desire tbat there may be no doubt upon this maiter, as it is possible that In one or two cases the errors cannot bo rectified aud subetantial Justice deme without ordering a new examination.” Your Honorable Board will therefore perceive tbat although tho power to revoke any Hats, p ast or future, was put beyond doubt, still the ainendmeut was made, and was so stated to your Board to ho made lu direct and special contemplatlou of tho possible revocation of at least ouo eligible list then exisiiag. The language of the amendment, cover ing as It clearly does, existing as well as future lists, proolfloly conforms with its Intention thus clearly stated to you. It does not appear from lUe commuuioatiun before us that it ia supposed your Board bos power to review tho action of the Brook lyn Commission under the modified regulation No. 37. Nothing to that effect la mentioned in the regulation itself, and we have not yot been informed, that any such appellate power Is elsewhere granted. The Brooklyn Commla- aiou will most gladly furnibh your Board, either personally or in writing, with such informa tion 4ipon this or upon any other part of (ho adraln- istraiion of tho reform law ia Brooklyn, as your Board may desire. The reason for our action we shall gladly lay before you If you wish. Your oora- muuication ot tho 4th insL, does uot, however, ask for Information; aud wo do not tl.erefore proffer any. It is proper to add lhat this Commission would not for a moment consent to discuss the truth of IrrospoDsible and scurrilous articles of the char^ acter of ‘some ol those which two former members of the Commission seem to have thought a proper basis for action ou your part. The eligible list In question was finally and completely revoked on the 31st of May last after ample pub lic noilce and dlscasslon. Nothing further re mained te bo done when your Honorable Board on tbe 1st of June adopted the resolution of which you advised the Mayor, or on the 11th of June when tho roaolutloQ was officially communicated to us. There are, therefore, no proceedings f r either the Mayor or for this Commission to suspend pursuant to your request. A new examination for ilremea has been initiated, and will be pressed to a comple tion with the utmost possible dispatch, as a t present Brooklyn la without a list from which firemen can lawfully be chosen. As a new examination would be quiie within the power of the Commission, even if the former eligible list were in existence, we as sume that your Honorable Board would not sug gest delay in the examination, even if you con templated tho assertion and exercise of appellate power. I beg to remain, very respectfully, E dward M. S hbpard , Chairman Civil Service Commission of Brooklyn. Mayor Chapin was asked If be had seen the let ter. Ho replied that he had and ho thought it a very clear and lucid one. “Do :^ou approve or disapprove it?” he was asked. “1 do not think,” he replied, “tbat I have any oc casion to approve or disapprove it I think the Commission is fully able to take oaro of itself and tbat it has done so.” Asked as to his opinion whether or not the Stato Board had Jurisdiction, h e replied that he had not looked up tbe law. The State Board had a right to make requests and the local Commission could do what it thought host The Mayor repeated that he did not see tbat he was called upon to pass upon tbe actioq of the Commission in this matter, taking tbe broad ground that the Commission could at tend to it itself. A close friend of the Mayor, acquaiuted with the situation, said his Honor believed that the Stale Board had tbo little eud of the husluess, and that its action reflected unfavorably upon tbe way in which tbat Board did business. The Mayor, he said, could not conceive how the Stste Board should nave entertained the so called protest in the shape in which it bad come, namely newspaper clippings, and how that body should have sent tbe communi cation it did send, to him, without clalmiug in it to have any Jurisdictiou iu the matter. Some people think that perhaps the Secretary of the State Board has been more active and promin ent in this controversy than tho Board itself. CAPTAIN TUSIRRIDGE’S SUIT A i r a i n a t t h e H « f f n i a o H o u e e P r o p r io to r w f o r $20,001) R e n t* The Buit of Captain William Tunbridge against Cassius H. Real and Edward S. Stokes came on for tbe second trial yesterday afternoon before Judge Brown and a Jury In F art II. of the Circuit Court The suit has been to tbe Court of Appeals once and was seat back Ur a now trial. In 1883 Read & Stokes leased from Captain Tun bridge the basement of tho building at 9 Beaver street, New York, at an annual rental ot $4,000. Read & Stokes claim tbat the plaintiff was to make certain alterations in the premises and de fendants paid $1,000 down on tbe lease. They claim that the improvements were not made, that they were hot given all the space contracted for, and therefore they refuse to pay tho rent. On the first trial the plaiutiff recovered Judgment, but the Court of Appeals granted a new triaL For the plaiutiff Brewster Klssara and John U. Shorter with General B. F. Tracy of counsel. For tho de fense James W. Ridgway, Colonel Robert G. Inger soil and Christopiier Fin. The plaintiff is tbe propriety of tbe Hotel S t George, of this city, and the defendants are tbe proprietors of tbe Hoffman House, New York, and also conduct the Hoffman House restaurant in Beaver street, in the building adjoining the basement in question, In the suit, it Is alleged tbat they rented tbe basement to prevent tho opening of a rival restaurant there. The case was sent back from tbe Court of Appeals on a point in the Judge’s charge on tbe first trial, which was held to be error. The plaintiff claims rent for the years since the lease, amounting to $20,000. The case is still on. AMERICA ILLUSTRATED.

A JUSTICE ITHOH UOQURS FEAR. Justice Massey has well earned the title of the terror of South Brooklyn evil doers. Ho never forgets a faco and wheu ruffians appear before him a Bocond time they are shown no mercy. Jerry Flaherty, ot 63 Hicks street, aud John Cooper wore arraigned in his court not long ago, tbe one for Biealing a ton of coal and the other on a charge of robbery.

A Z ia u d lo r d W h o E x p e r l e i i e e d t h o T r i t t h o f tike O ld P ro v e rb * An interesting landlord and tenant case, the second of its kind tried lu the Second District Court, was decided yesterday by Justice Fettersen in favor of the complainant, Hannah Hildeubuttol, tenant,against Herman EckbardC, landlord. Mrs. Hildenbuttal, it appears, leased from Eukbardt, in January last, two rooms In 26 McKibbeu street, and bocomlng dissatisfied with her as a tenant be vis ited her on May 31 and told her he wanted her to move, and on her refusing to comply at once with bis demand he said: “ I ’ll do what I like hero and I'll put you out aud this Is tbe way I ’ll do It. lie then ohtalued a screw driver, and taking the door off tbe hinges aud the windows out of tho sashes stowed them away In the cellar. Mrs. IIll- denbuttal, however, refusing to take the hint made an old shawl answer tho purpose of a door, nailed a piece of canvas across the sashiess window and with her three childreu prepared for a siege. Next day Eckhardt revisited the place aud, finding Mra Hildonbuuel still iu possession, stormed and fumed and became so violent in his threats aud gestures that she fled and took refuge with some of the neighbors. June 2 Mr. Eckhardt was taken be fore Justlce Pettorson on a warrant granted ou com plaint ot Mrs. Hildenbuttel, charging him, under section 3,233 of the Code of Procedure, with Illegally entering on her premises and taking possession. Tbe ease was tried June 8. The decision gives plaintiff $50 damages and $4 for dlsbursemeuts. A GUILTY PAIR. How Mrs. Koll Disposed of Her Daughter. The Stranee Dncnmant Tfith Whieh a Moral Mnn:)ter Defendi Himself — A Case of Slioekini; Depravity. The oases of Mrs. Sarah Koll, of 675 Third avenue, who is charged by Officer Schwartz, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, with endangering the morals of her threo daugh ters, Fauny, Cora and Carrie, aged 5, 7 and 11 years respectively, and of Henry C. Collyer, who Is Jointly accused with .Mrs. Koll by the same officer in conuectlou with the child Carrie, were called in Jus tice .Massey’s Court lo-d ty and adjourned. The ar rests in these cases have dereloted a degree of de pravity rarely paralleled. About a fortnight ago some of Mrs. KoU’s neighbors notified the society of the practices that wore carried on in her apartments. Officer Schwartz was detailed to investigate the case. He found tbat Mrs. Koll occupied rooms on the second floor of the house. Collyer, who boarded with her, had a rear bedroom. An air shaft runs through the rear of the buildiug. Officer Schwartz made arraugemeuta with tho owner of the room underneath Collyer’s to allow him to remain there for a few nights. Tho air shaft passes through this room and tho one occupied by Collyer, so that U Is easy to hear in one apartment what is said In another. Officer Schwartz, by listening at the window and the shaft on tbe first eight of his visit, beard enough to convluce him that the complaint made by the neighbors was not exaggerated. Two nights later, in company with Officer Folk, ot tho soeiety, ho visited the house again and hod a repetition of hts first night’s experience. He then laid the facts before Justice Massey, who gave him a warraut for the arrest of tbe man and woman. Armed with the warrant Officers Schwartz, Folk and Mo- Comb, of the society, visited the house and listened in the room beneath Collyor’s. They beard the little girl, Carrie, crying, beard Collyer command ing her to be quiet, aud heard tho other two little girls and Mrs. Koll passing in and out of bis room. They secured such conviucing evidence of the man’s guilt tbat they determined to arrest him at ouce. Roundsman Rogers, of the Eighth Precinct, was summoned, and tbe four officers proceeded to Mrs, Roll’s apartments, where they received corroborative evidence of the guilt of tho pair. Collyer, when commanded to dress and go along with them, affected to he iDdignant. Drawing two papei-a from his pocket, he handed them to Schwartz and said: “These will fix me all right.” One of the papers was of a surprising character. It was In Collyer's handwriting and read as follows: B rooklyn , N. Y., April 29,1888. 1 hereby give and bequeath my daughter, Caro line Koll, to U. C. Collyer, to wife or otherwise, from this time forth. Cause first—Not competent to take care of her. Second—I thiuk H. C. Collyer la a good and proper husband for her. 1 sign this of my own free will S arah K oll , CAROLINE KOX.L. The other paper appointed Collyer the guardian of the two little girls, Fanny and Cora, and au thorized him to place them in the Sheltering Arms in New York. The man and woman were locked up in the Eighth Precinct Sta tion House. Collyer says be Is 38 years of age, but appears to be about 45. He is tall and of large frame. His hair is light and be wears a bloude mustache. His head is partly bald. Mrs. Koll Is a tall, spare woman, with rather coarse features. She says tbat she did nothing wrong aud tbat Collyer was only looking after the welfare of the children. The neighbors, In contradiction of this, say that she and Collyer wore In the habit of using tha foulest language in the presence of the three little ones. Collyer was a conductor on the Third avenue horse cars lu Now York. Ho claims to he an engineer by occupation and says he is a war veteran aud a member at Dakiu Post, G. A. R. Koll died some time ago. Collyer bos been living with bis widow siuce January.

On tho north side of M y rtle avenue, near Washington slroot. Is a row of very old three story frame buildings, numbered from 17 to 25 IncluBlrs, the ground floors of wblcli aro let out as stores and tbo upDor ones as dwelling apartments. Tbe backs of these buildings run up to the First Precinct Station House, and looked at from that point reeemblo ono large rookery. Tho ground floor of No. 17 la occu pied by Joseph .Suicliire, an old Englishman, who has sold hats there for many years. The two upper floors are re.ited by William Jlyors, a paint dealer, and George Graros, a alWor plater. No one sleeps In the building. ' At 3:12o’clock this morning. Doorman Brown, of tbe Adams street Station, happoned to lo fk out of one of the upper windows ot the buildiug on tbo Myrtle avenue side, aud saw smoko aud flames asceudlng from tbo root of No. 17. llo promptly sent out au alarm, aad Engiaes 5 and G were on the spot In less thau two rainutea Before they had got well to work, Mr. Sutcllile's store was cleaned out, tbe upper p art of tlio building was blazing fiercely, and the flames had spread to Noa ig, 21 and 23. Nos. 19 aud 21 are occupied by Samuel A. G.ldstein, tile clothing dealer, who, witli bU wife was asleep ou tbe second floor. .Mr. Goldstein was awakened by the sbouta In the street, and after shaking hla wife to arouse her put on a fow clothes. He also secured a purse containing money and a set ol plated silverware. Ho was about to run downstairs wlien ho discovered that his wile bad laloted. Ho picked her up In his arms and alter some dlfiicuUy succeeded In reaching the street. Mrs. Goldbtein was taken to tho police elation, whore she was well cared lor, and her bus- band, haviug borrowed a coat and a pair ol shoos from a uoighbor, returned to tha store to try and save his ellvorware, which ha had been compelled to leave behind him. He gathered It up in his arms and was coming downstairs when he was struck by a stream of water which tumbled him over. Eventually ho got out without further injury and returned to look after his wife. a U the other people living In the row also escaped unharmed. After about three-quarters of an hour’s hard work the Are was got under Just before It had reached No. 25, Andrew Werner’s liquor store, at the corner of Alyrtle avenue and Adams street. The losses and Insurauce as figured up by the tenants are as follows: No. 17, owhed by James Sbea, of 293 Adams street, loss on building, 72,000; fully In- Bured.

Fire Marshal Lewis has begun an Investigation, but has not as jot boon able to discover thecauaa of tho fire, which uudoubledly started iu No. 17. Mr. Sutcliffe aud the other two occupants loft (be build ing a t their usual hours and everything was then all right No fire, it is claimed, was left by any one of the three. A curious paint In couuectloa with this affair is the fact that yesterday afternoon e man called at the Fire Marshal’s office and asked the person i« charge if Mr. Sutcliffe could not be prevemed from piling up empty hat boxes, in large quantUies at the rear of the store. He was told that the Marshal’s Jurisdiction did no! extend to that length, and loft without giving hla name. Mr. Lowis did not hear of this until to-day aud Is now trying to find out who the visitor was! He has examined a largo number of witaessos and will have a complete report ready by to-morrow. Sutcliffe and Goldstein have been at loggerheads for a long time. A few weeks ago the former pasted all over his windows written notices to tho effect that a recent firo did not take place in his store, hut “at tho Jew’s next door.” Goldstein’s name was also mentioned in cennectlou wUh some “blue headed lady” existing only In the old man’s Imagi nation. For this Sutcliffe was arrested, and a charge of criminal libel having been sustained against him in Judge Walsh’s court, ho was fined $100. On Monday the hatter brought suit against Goldstein lu Judge Courtney’s court, claimlug that the defeudaut's employes had damaged his roof to the extent of $100, by walking over It during (he Winter. He lost his case. Sutcliffe was not neai his place of business this morning at tho usual timo, and a messenger was dispatched by the Mar- shaltofind him. A TENEMENT HOUSE FIGHT.
