HIS MESSAGE NOT READY. But Mayor Strong's Gout Ie Better d His Office In Properly Heated. Mayor Strong's gout was 20 per cent. better this morning because of the mild Spring-like weather, Then, too, the temperature of the Mayor's office was Just to his king, all of which account- ed for His Honor’s excellent humor when he arrived at City Hall, He had read the somewhat humorous stories printed in the morning papers |about the hot coals in his ash barrel, | which brought the fire engines rattling around to his house at 12 West Fifty- seventh street yesterday afternoon, but he seemed to think the matter too frivolous to talk about. The Mayor lost no time in getting to work at his mail, and when the re- porters began to drop in they found him too busy to give out any news, Secretary Job Hedges announced that the Mayor's message to the new Board of Aldermen was not ready and con! quently would not be presented to thi body when it met at noon to-day. Charles Stewart Smith called on Mayor Strong this forenoon and the two had a long talk. After it was over Mr, Smith anid that he had simply called to extend to the Mayor the assurances of his distinguish- ed ‘consideration and had not talked about matters pertaining to the LXX.'s work. Mr. Smith sald that the LXX. had Not recelved any official notice from the Mayor concerning his notion that the Power of Removal bill prepared by the LXX. should be amended so that thi time ‘in which the Mayor is permitte: to remove and appoint shall be extended from four to six months after the com- mencement of his term, Concerning the Power of Removal Dill which “the Republican Club has drafted, Mr, Smith sald that he couldn't see the’ use of it STRONG'S SECRETIVE CALLERS Reported that Jacob Patterson Would Be a Police Commiuntone There was a little buzz of interest in the Mayor's office this afternoon over the appearance there of Police Commis- sioner Charles H. Murray and Jacob M. Patterson, the Republican leader of the Seventh District First, Mr. Patterson had a talk with the Mayor, and then Commissioner Mur- ray took his turn. Mr. Patterson was very mysterious when asked afterwards what was the occasion of his visit, and mumbled, something about “personal matters.” Commissioner Murray smiled gleefully after the Interview with the Mayor was over, but was not any more communi- cative than was Mr. Patterson. It was learned, however, that Patterson has lately changed his mind in regard to the Commissionership that he wants and has concluded that he would rather be a member of the Board of Police than of the Board of Excise. He came to nee the Mayor in that connection, it is re- ported, —-— DR. TALMAGE SIXTY-THREE. He Celebrates the Event at His Home To-Day, Rev. Dr. T.

Among the passengers who arrived on the steamship Aurania, of the Cunard line, to-day was Mr. Thurston, the Hawailan Minister to Portugal. Before the Aurania left Quarantine, Minister Thurston had provided himself with copies of the morning papers con- taining President Cleveland's reply to Aldridge, in which the iatter sald, among other things, that the workshops of Hawail would close, Mr, Thurston read it closely, but declined to discuss it. “Most of the labor for the sugar in- dusiry of Hawall has for years been |supplied by Portugal,” he ‘said, “and from 18:3 to 1887 11,000 men have been shipped to Hawai!’ Then after the insurrection in Hawait the sugar indus try waned for a time, and the Portu- gulese labor was dropped. Now, how- ever, it is flourishing agin, the Wilson bill ‘haying had a big effect upon it, and T have Just concluded a contract with the Portuguese for 9,000 men, who will go on at once.” Minister Thurston will go at once to Washington. —_—=—- —- ) HERRESHOFF READY TO BUILD The Yacht Designer Pleased with the Prospects of a Race.

William Donovan was elected Sergeant- at-Arms by the same vote as that for Clerk, Jchn Maguire was the minority candidate. The Aldermanic Chamber was tempo- rarily transformed into a flower garden.

Mr. Jeroloman said the authority ve ted called for the reading of the Board of |Canvassers’ returns, ‘This was done by | Clerk Burke, and then the roll-call re- vealed that every member of the new Board was present. resident.

Speaker Crisp said that the caucus was to test whether the Currency bill would pass, Information on this sab- J essary, the situation being Krave and imporiant. Representative Bland, of Missourl, opposed the resolu- tuon, “We have now reached the point," he sald, “when for the first time the Dem- ocratic party Is asked to become the ad- vocate of the State banks.” Mr, Springer urged unanimity of ac- tion ‘for the sake of the party, and the country Mr. Cockran, of New York, thought the question Was an economic one, not | political, and ought not to be settled in party caucus, It has been found necessary to change the general plan of uction of the Cur. y bill, as @ result of the death of Representative of Tilino The genera! debate, which was to have been closed to-day by Mr. Springer, is neces: sarily continued until to-morrow, The caucus Is expected to take into e e unexpected interrup and to give to-morrow to general debate. ‘This will postpone the final vote until Tate in the week.
