NEW YORK, nay 2L—Mayor Van to-day removed Police Commis- Phillips and Hamilton. He ap- ted Jacob Hess in the place of Com- n Hamilt H came to police headquarters after noon and pre- sented his certificate of appointment. The board then organized, re-electing B. J. York president. Then the board retired Chief McCullagh on a pension | of $3000 a year with the Mayor's ap- | er proval. The board appointed Deputy | Chief Devery as acting chief. | Upon news of the removals of the Commissioners and to a number of re- porters, who called at the Mayor's of- | fice to obtain a confirmation of the re- port of the removal of the «)nmmissxou-‘ ers, the Mayor sai 1 have just been asked if I have re- | -moved Police Commissioner Hamilton and Phillips. I have, and I have also appointed Jacob Hess to succeed Mr. Hamilton. 1 want you to say to the people that the Mayor, their servant, whom they elected last fall, has re- sisted every attempt to raid the public treasury and he will continue to do so. He will also continue to run the af- fai of t city government for the benefit of the people and in the interest | of the people who elected him, confi- dent that at the end of his term he will be indorsed by such an overwhelm- | ing majority as has never been given | in the history of the city. | “I will,” he continued, the affairs of the city without inter- | ference from either Platt or Quigg.

John McCullagh, the Chief of Police, just dropped, was a Republican and re- fused to make certain transfers the Democratic Commissioners wanted. | The two Democratic Commissioners voted to retire the Chief, but were over- h ruled b votes of the Republican Commissioner | McCullagh called at the City Hall| nd had a stormy interview vor, during which he was told to go back and run the department without regard to politics, the Chief re- torting that in the matter of removals he would do as he pleased. Since then there have been numerous interviews between the Mayor and the Police Com- missioners. The Tammany version of the trouble between McCullagh and the Mayor and | the Police Commissioners is that Sena- tor Platt and Congressman Quigg inter- fered with the running of the depart- ment. It was said that during an in- terview between the Mayor ond Com- | missioner Hamilton the latter said he would not vote for the transfer of a po- liceman if the action was not sanc- tioned by Qu and Platt. The Republican version {s that ever nce Tammany returned to power cer- tain gamblers and poolroom owners | have wanted to run “wide open,” but that McCullagh’s opposition to this h brought down the official ax upon hi neck.

STOCKTON, May 21.—Margaret Copsey, full of years and with a great fortune at her command, has at last been restored to competency. For this she has fought | in court in different ways for two years. It took but thirty-five minutes in Judge | Jones’ court this morning for the attor- show to the satisfaction of a hevs to jury that she was competent. Drs. A. W. Hoisholt, Asa Clark and C. W. Ruggles were Sworn as experts and gave testi- mony favorable to the old lady. She her-| self went on the stand and appeared per- | fectly able to take care of her own af-| fairs. | The court has more than once denied her petition for restoration, but the show- ing made this time secured for her the | much-coveted liberty of action In regard to her property. i NATURALISTS PUZZLED. ing Near San Rafael. SAN RAFAEL, May 21.—While hunting birds’ nests on Wolf's Hill, between this city and Ross Valley, yesterday after- noon, five boys killed a small animal that | has excited the curiosity of all the local naturalists. The animal was discovered in the forks of a tree and shot by Roy Prescott with a parlor rifle. Its body is about one foot long and the tail a trifle over seven inches. Its color is a soft gray, the back a reddish tint, with white on the stomach and cheeks, the ears tufted, and the tail ringed with black and white, The animal is pronounced by competent per- ons to be a ring-tailed lemur or maki, but this is a native of Madagascar. If it is a lemur, the common supposition is | that the animal must have escaped from | captivi though it was very wild. | . REUBEN P. CANNO CANNON DEAD.

LYMAN E. COOLEY’S VIEW. SHOULD BE SHORTENED. With the Completion of the Water- way Uncle Sam Would Be Supreme in the Atlantic and Pacific. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, May 21L—Lyman E. Cooley, the well-known engineer who spent two months of last winter on the route of the proposed canal, in an interview says: “As a bluff, if nothing more, the | Nicaraguan canal in operation to-day | would be worth $100,000,000 to this Gov- ernment. Completed we could perpetu- ally say to all nations that our fleets |in a moment of necessity could com- mand the Atlantic and Pacific oceans as ne other fleet in the world would be able to do. “In a race for Manila, we, starting at New York and Spain at Cadiz, we, | with the Nicaragua cansl, could reach ! the Philippines before any fleet pass- ing through the Suez canal could do so.” Mr. Cooley has studied the journey of the battle-ship Oregon around South America with extraordinary in terest, since the Nicaragua canal if | had been completed the Oregon might have been with Sampson weeks ago, or in an emergenc 1y part of our navy could be dispatched to the P fic Coast with the saving of thou- sands of miles of journey. Suppose,” said Mr. Cooley, “that | it at the least $54,000,000 | to truct this canal, or at the most §132,000,000, what would that amount to, in view cof the fact that at the present moment every city on the Pa- cific Coast could be destroyed by a hostile fleet before a battle-ship of | ours could round Cape Horn? When | n Fran- | cisco the enemy would be at Hawali, | and when we were there they would be y at home. | “Leaving aside all question of the value to us of the canal as a powerful agency for developing our commerce, look at its construction from .a war point of view. The Atlantic coast will be the concentration point for eam of our navy. New York City is 14,000 miles from San Francisco with- out the Nicaragua canal; that is, via the Straits of Magellan, steamers leav- ing New York are over 13,000 miles from San Francisco, and sailing v Cape Horn, 15,600 miles away. canal would shorten one route 8267 miles and the other route 10,753 miles. A man-of-war sailing ten knots an hour, or 240 miles per day, would save in the one instance forty-four days, and. in the other thirty-four days' time. In other words, if the Oregon is at Bar- adoes, sixty-two days were occupied by her in reaching that point from San Francisco, via Cape Horn. With the Nicaragua canal completed, forty-four days’ time would have been saved over | one existing route and thirty-four days | Attempts to Destroy Papers Giving The journey from San Francisco to New York could be made in eighteen days by a slow vessel and in nine or ten days by a swift one. “Would not this be of value to the|be a Spanish spy and a deserter from the Government in time of war, when so | First United States Artill much depends on the rapidity with which our vessels must be moved from | point to point?” | Mr. Cooley also said that the rhargesi through the canal would be less than | the wages paid the men on the vessel | and the coal consumed in a trip around Cape Horn. In conclusion Mr. Cooley | said: | “We could create a naval station at | Lake Nicaragua second to none in the | world, and from which our vessels | could pass for the protection of either | of our coasts with s rapidity un- equaled. The Spanish war and the journey of the Oregon will awaken the general public to the necessity of hav- ing the canal as nothing else could | have done. Once built the canai, from a strategic or a commercial point of | view, means that our flag and our ship- ping will enter every port in the world and we will be the maritime power of the twentieth century. SETTLE THE DELICATE NIGER QUESTION. An Agreement Said to Have Been Reached Between France and England. PARIS, May 21.—The Figaro pub- lishes the important announcement that the delicate Niger question, which threatened to lead to an Anglo-French war, has been settled and that an agreement between the two govern- ments will be signed this week at the Parls Foreign Office. The agreement will be satisfactory to both nations. It involves mutual con- cessions, the chief being that the town of Boussa, which the French occupy. but which England claimed by earlier treaties, would be given to England, while France will retain Nikki and two towns on the Middle Niger. The line of demarkation starts from Ilo on the Niger and runs southwest, leaving Nikkl Inside the French sphere. The importance of Boussa lies in the fact that it is the highest town to which the Niger is navigable. % TREATY OF PEACE WITH COSTA RICA.

BRINGS A LARGE PRICE. MILWAUKEE MEN INVEST IN ‘WASHINGTON. Small Holdings to Be Consolidated Into One Large Mine to Be Worked by Improved Machinery. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, May 21.—The Cascade Min- | ing Company of Milwaukee has pur- | chased for a quarter of a million dollars twenty-four picked placer claims in | Swauk district, Kittitas County. The sale was made through L. H. Jansen, one of the claim owners, who has been working for two years to consolidate | these claims into one big placer mine. | Once San Francisco and Boston men | had an option on the property, but did | not close the deal. The claims are now | worked on a large scale with the latest hydraulic machinery, using the water of Swauk and Williams creeks. It is| |known they will prove immensely | | profitable, because their owners have | been taking from $5000 to $20,000 a sea- | | son out of the best of them, working in | the most primitive way. i For years the Swauk district has| been known as the greatest nugget pro- ucing section in the State, numerous | nuggets exceeding $500 in value having been found. John Black, a pioneer of the district, found one nugget worth 565. Gus Nilson last year took out the camp'’s champion nugget, valued at $1004. Other nuggets ran from $222 to $745. The miners have heretofore paid little attention to ng gold dust, but have instead sunk to bedrock and| searched there for nuggats. All their tailings will'now be worked over. | The gold is found chiefly in bars, which cover the old creek channels along the banks of the Willlams, Swauk Boulder and Baker creek SMOKELESS POWDER PLANT | | WRECKED BY EXPLOSION. | | One Man Killed and Three Injured in a visaster at an Indiana Factory. | HAMMOND, Ind, May 21.—Three | thousand pounds of powder at the plant | of the Economical Smokeless Powder | Company, about four and a half miles | from here, blew up this afternoon, kili- | ing one man and injuring three others | | and demolishing the building in which | was located the mixing rooms.

NNATI, May 21.—Plaudit is a double derby winner. This afternoon he won new laurels by easily defeating Lieber Karl, who ws against him in the great $10,000 derby at Oakley. There is no longer a ques- tion of doubt as to which is the better Plaudit is in a class by himself. This afternoon a big event was won without an effort by the gal- lant son of Himyar, after running un- der restraint the entire distance. Those who came to pecting to see a hard fought contest were disappointed. John Bright, the other two named to start in the derby, withdrew, leaving only Plaudit and Lieber Karl to do bat- tle for the big event. There was but little betting on the race, Plaudit's price never having been better than 3 to 10, while 8 to 5 was about the best obtainable on Lieber Karl. The race was witnessed by 6000 people.
