Byrnes of the New York police force His resignation was written on the 15th instant, but was not made pub- lic until 1t was read before the Lexow com- mittee on Saturday. The letter was as fol- lows: Police Headquarters, 300 Mulberry street. NEW YORK, December 13, 184, To Col. W. L. Strong. Dear Sir: 1 appreciate as fully as any man can the tremendous responsibility that will come upon you when you assume the duties of mayor, and undertake the reform of the various departments of the city government. 1 desire not to be an obstacie or an embarrassment to you in anything that you may propose to do with the police department. On the contrary, I wish to ald you in any way that I can. 1 assume that you are now considering what action you ought to take at the out- et of your administration, and what leg- islation would be required to make such action practical. 1 therefore now place in your hands my request to be retired from the post of superintendent, to be used by you or not at any time after the first of January, as you see fit. And let me fur- ther say that you may be entirely free to command my services, advice and informa- tion at any time In regard to the affairs of the police department, with which 1 have been so long connected. Your obedient servant, THOMAS BYRNES. Mr. Byrnes testified that he was worth several hundred thousand dollars, mostly made ir stocks, through the advice and vid of friends, the Gouids especially. Kegard- ing his feelings toward Dr. Parkhurst, he said, as.to the suppression of disorderly houses: “I want to give Dr. Parkhurst all the help I can, although he ts pounding me every time he gets a chance. Dr. Park- hurst has created a public sentiment which would never have existed in this city If it had not been manufactured, and without which it would be impossible to have com- pelled the owners of these houses to give up their business as they have done.” Mr. Byrnes also complained that his hands had been tied. His administration of the department had been hampered by the police commissioners. eHe then dis- sed the excise law, and sald that it was ossible to detect violations if men went in uniform, but that the commissioners would not allow them to act otherwise. Regarding the poolsellers, he said that his hands were tied until the mayor instructed the magistrates to convict pool seilers. As soon as this was done he broke their busi- ness up. The interference of Commissioner Martin with the captains at the tine of the 1592 election was then referred to, and Supe! Byrnes described the mecting as Commissioner Martin told me he was going to attend the meeting of the poilce captains 1 had called on the Sun- day before electfon day to instruct them as to thelr dutfes. I told him I thought tt better for hum not to come there, He in- ed, end 1 asked Mr, McClave, the re- commissioner, to come, but he re- Mr. Martin came and insisted on sing the captains, end told them not to allow the United States marshals to in- terfere with them. I objected to this, and instructed the men as to thelr exact duties. “But Commissioner Martin swore he went there at your request.” ie swore to what was falso.”" “And that you had asked him to address the men.” “That ts also false. When I refused to let his instructions go to the captains they were so pleased that two of them came and Kissed my hand. ‘The committee adjourned sine die Sat- urday night. Senator Lexow, the chair. man, thanked all who had aided in the work of the committee, an? Mr. Goff, counsel to the committee, made a speech in the same itne, and requesting that the detectives who hed been employed by in- terested pers to watch him would tell at once pubitcly all they had found out and not try to stab kim in the back. Mr. Goff added that he was no better and no worse thun the average man, andi that he entered upon his work before the commit- tee scleiy as @ lawyer, and not as a moral- Mrs. Amelia J.

CALLED A MISCHIEF MAKER LONDON, December 31.—In an article headed “Should Gladstone Be Muzzled?” the Pall Mail Gazette regrets Mr. Glad- stone’s speech at Mawarden on Saturday ast to the Armenian Association's deputa- tion, and says: “The question does not affect a handful of Armenians only, but it easily involves the peace of Europe. The foreign powers do not understand Mr. Gladstone as we do. ‘They seo in him a still-possible premier, and his unbridled words will infinitely in- crease the difficulties. The St. James Gazette refers in a similar vein to Mr. Gladstone's utterances, and calls him “a grand old mischief-maker. In a leader this morning the Times say: “Mr. Gladstone's retirement from public Ife ts final, but it would be well for Turkey to reflect in her own interest that in the Armenian matter Mr, Gladstone, with little Personal effort and no personal ambition Whatever, might play the part of blind old Dandolo. He has the whole British public opinion behind him, and if the Porte detled Kuropean opinion his opinion would be capable of producing all, perhaps more than ail, the effect he contemplates as merely contingent.” The Times’ remarks were called forth by eech made Saturday by Mr. Glad- to @ deputation from a meeting of the Anglo-Armenian Association and other Armenian organizations, who waited on the ex-prime minister at Hawarden. After pointing out that {t was not in- difference that had led him to do nothing m regard to the Armenian outrages, and that the powers should do nothing until ory aha sgna were proved, Mr. Gladstone 8 “If the reports are established it will more than ever stand before the world that there is no lesson, however severe, that can teach certain people the necessity of observing to some degree the laws of decency, humanity and justice. “If the allegations are true, {t will stand as if written in letters of iron on the rec- ords of the world that a government which could counienance and cover the perpetra- tion of these outrages is a disgrace to @tahomet, whom the Turks profess to fol- low, a disgrace to civilization at large and @ curse to mankind. “This Is strong language and strong lan- guage ought to be used when the facts are strong. “However, we should keep our judgments In suspense until the truth is known, but, as the evidence grows and the case dark- ens, my hopes have dwindled and as long as I have a voice [ hope it will be raised upon such occasions in behalf of humanity.” The Rebellion in Corea. YOKOHAMA, December 31.—It ts re- ported that the Tonshaks (rebels) of the Corean province of Chollado have founded a@ new kingdom, named Kainan.

Terrible Gales Sweeping the Coasts of Great Britata, LONDON, December 31.—The weather 1s cold throughout Great Britain and gales of wind and snow are generak Several trains are snowbound in Scotland. Be- tween Kindrace and Forsinard, a passenger train has been blocked in the snow since yesterday. In Scotland the snow storm was ac- companied by ligntring. A terrible gale is raging over South Durham and another storm 13 sweeping the coast of Essex, do- ing much Gamage in the east and north of that county. The sea is very high and much damage has been done to shipping. The gale in the channel continues and the lifeboats at vario: points along the coast have ac- complished any heroic rescues. The Ramsgate lifeboat crew put to sea at mid- night and did not return until some time before noon, bringing ashore, however, the crew of the schooner Union, wrecked cn the Goodwin sands. At Holyhead the bodies of ten of the crew of the British bark Osseo, from Tal- tal, Chile, for Ardrossan, Scotland, have been washed ashofe. The Osseo was wrecked on the Holyhead breakwater yes- terday morning and all her crew perished in spite of the efforts made to rescue them. —— REVOLTING DUCBLE TRAGEDY. A Pittsburg Laborer Kills His Wife and Then Himself, PITTSBURG, P. McMullin, a laborer, cut his wife's head al- most oft with a hatchet and then cut his own throat with a razor about 3:30 this morning. They had been quarreling early in the evening and McMullin hit his wife in the face with a beer bottle, cutting her badly. They quarreled again later, and about 5:39 this morning their children were awakened by thefr mother’s cries. The woman's head is frightfutly cut, and when found she was lying in a pool of blood. After taking the life of his wife, McMullin stepped into the kitchen, out of sight of his children, who a moment later heard him fall to ‘the floor with a groan. ‘They ran to the docr and found him lying under the stove. The man had cut his throat jugular vetn and died in about’ minutes. Tho wife survived but a short time. The youngest child, aged two years, had been sleeping with its mother, and its face wag bespattered with the blodd of the parent. Promotions to Result. The War Department has been Informed of the death at Omaha of Col. John B. Parke, second infantry. This will cause the promotion of Major Wherry of the sixth to be colonel of the second, Capt. Miner of the twenty. nd to be major of the sixth, and Lieut. Theodore Mosher of the twenty-second to be captain in that regiment. Lieut. Mosher is adjutant gen- eral of the District militia. His | many friends will be pleased to hear of his ad- vancement in the service. —— Ex-Congressman Butler is Not Dend. Walter H. Butler, an ex-member of Con- gress from Iovra, who has been thought dead by his iamily and friends, ts alive. Recently his wife and iLrother offered a reward of $750 for his body. He is in the employ of a publishing firm of Indianapo- Na, and when he was there Friday was seen about the lobby of the Grand Hotel. Those who talked with him say his con- versation did not indicate such an aberra- tion as would cause one to be indiffereat to the anxiety of his friends and fauully, as Butler seenis to be.

The majority of the c: ers bore unmistakable evidences of tt pinch of poverty in their threadbare cloth- ing, wan faces and wasted figures, bu some of them—and their cases are am: the saddest, it is said—did not betray outward appearance the terrible straits to which they are reduced at home. “People come here for food and fuel whom if you met them on the street you would think were the last persons to be In need,” sald Superintendent Emery to a Star reporter today. ‘They are people who have been in comfortable circumstances, but have been suddenly thrown into a state of absolute destitution by misfortune. They are the people who do not appeal for char- ity until the cupboard is bare and the coal bin empty. Then hunger and cold drive them to us. We respect their confidence and after making due inquiries to establish the genuineness of the case, furnish as much relief as we can. “We have a large number of investigators in the field today looking up cases that have been reported or that have made per- sonal application for help. What we necd most is money to buy fuel. Of course con- tributions of groceries or orders for pro- visions are always needed and* welcomed when they come. We are now buying Cun- ton flannel and having it made into under garments, paying worthy persons for the work, and distributing the garments to the shivering poor. “Every person who Is charitably inclined should come forward now and contribute, for the suffering among the poor classes is intense, and is aggravated, of course, by the recent spell of bad weather. There will be no question about the proper disposi- tion of contributions made now. We have more applications for charity on file than are likely to be complied with, and what we want now is money, fuel and gro- ceries. ja Additional Contributions. Secretary L. 8.
