a 4 a a ae MAY CONSIDER LOGAL EXCISE otal Abstinence Delegates Brcited Over O'Sullivan’s and Roosevelt's Speeches, COMMISSIONER GETS PRAISE. Beoond Day of the Convention Begins with Mass at the Faulist Ohurch, PRAYERS FOR DEAD FRIENDS. Bishop Watterson, of Ohio, Sends a Telegram of Regret and Congratulation. ‘The second day's session of the Cath- lic Total Abstinence Union of America was not called to order this morning until after 11 o'clock. At 9 o'clock the Gelegates attended the solemn requiem mass in the Paulist Church, Fifty-ninth street and Ninth avenue, for the repose of the souls of deceased members of the union. Rev. T. J. O'Callaghan, of the Paulist Church, was celebrant; Rev. Father Gallagher, of Denver, deacon, and Rev. Father McKenna, of Marlborough, Mass., sub-deacon. The altar was dressed in mourning and a chancel choir of sixty voic chanted the responses. All the dele- wore the blue ribbon of the order. There was much discussion in the early morning hours regarding the pas- @age-at-arms at the Carnegie Hall meet- ing last night between State Senate: O'’Bullivan and President Roosevelt, of the Police Board. The tatter was ‘warmly praised, and as a result of the meeting it is pretty certain that the local excise question will be handled by the Committee on Resolutions when it Feports this afternoon. Senator O'Sullivan's speech in favor of @ more liberal Excise law and a more generous enforcement of the law at present on the statute books, delivered in Carnegie Music Hall last night before the Catholic Nationa! Total Abstinence Union, “and the vigorous reply of Pre: dent Roosevelt of the Police Board, forms a big topic of conversation throughout the city to-day. O'Sullivan ts known as the one-armed orator of Tammany Hall,and he declared in unmistakable terma for the Wigwam last night. Making such a speech be- fore such an audience, it was to be ex- pected that his remarks would not be recelved with any show of enthusiasm. Few, however, were prepared for the storm of hisses which greeted his every @terance and for the wild and enthusi- tie cheering which greeted Commis- sioner Roosevelt at every stage of his defiant reply. ‘At the conclusion of the mass the delegates repaired to Columbus Hall, on Bixtieth street, which was tastefully decorated with flags of all nations, and at a few minutes after 11 the conven tion was called to order by its Ireal- Gent, Rev. Father Carey. Many telegrams and letters of regret for non-attendance were received, Among the number was the following despatch from Bishop Watterson, of Onto: the moat’ importamt ever held in Ristory of our mov: 1 send my warms tons to you all.

The Committee on Credentials, ap- pointed at the opening of the Conven- tion yesterday, reported that there were more delegates present than at any Previous convention of the order. This announcement was received with cheers, indicating as it did a wonderful spread of the Union and the interest felt in the work After the report of the committee was received, addresses were made ~ by Father ‘Foley, of Baltimore, Father Rellly, of Boston, and Father’ Zurcher, of Euitalo. The latter praised Roosevelt by saying: “IT want to suy here that we ought to extend the right hand of fellowship to one man—to Theodore Roosevelt. (Cheers.) He is @ man you ought to be proud of. “If Mr. Roosevelt asks you to help kim in enforcing Sunday ‘closing, do #0 in the name of God and temper- ance. Reports from Iiinois showed that the State had more than doubled its mem- ership during the year.

Father Dozle, for New York, said that last year this State had only three societies with 26 members, This year the membership amounted to 2,560 Rey. Father O'Brien, who aded the Frerront delegation, showed eat gains there. He gave great credit to ‘Third Vice-President Mrs. Lake, and also to the Woman's Christian’ ‘Temperance Union. A.

O14 Justicen Say They Are Ei to New Juatic: Judge O'Brien, in Bupreme Court Chambers, to-day, heard argument on an order to show cause, obtained by James P, Keating, clerk of the old Court of Special Seasions, why Comp- crower #itcn snowla Not be enjoined Eros paying tne salaries of the new Jun- tices and employees of the Court of Special Sessions out of the appropr: ton of 1896. Charies Haldane presented Keating's case, MMe took the ground that the old Juatic: and clerks were atill the legal officers of the court, and aa such are entitled to payment. If the appropriation was not protected by Court and it was subsequently held that tne claime of the old Justices and clerks are legal, they would have no adequate remedy for the collection of their salaries. Courts had held that when de facto Mficers kad exhauated an appropriation the de jure ofice-s had no claim inst the city. Judge O'Brien sald “No Judge in Special Term is going to decide such an important question as one involving sip constitutionallty of the act in ques: on, “Tt Is placing too great a burden on a Judge in chambers, but the proposition which you have first got to dispose of is that the old Justices and clerks would be injured by tha payment of salaries to the new Justices and clerks. “You must show that your clients have no recourse In @ sult againat the city and that they would be deprived | of money to which they are entitled by. the payments to the new officers.” Mr. Haldane sald he would submit a brief the legal question involved in the proposition as put by the Court and the matter was adjourned until Mon- day. a a WARING GETS HIS STATIONS. Sinking F Votes the Necen Gen, Anson G, McCook, City Cham- berlain, attended the meeting of the Sinking Fund Commissioners for the first time in his official capacity this afternoon, The clerk read the letter which Col. Waring sent to the Acting Mayor some time ago, critictaing Alderman Olcott for declaring that the Street-Cleaning Commissioner was not much as an economist. He explained that the sta- t'ons he asked for were required for paying the men and that one atation ad been established for every fifty workmen. ‘Alderman Olcott maid: “I till’ think that the eatablishment of 4 station for paying every fifty work- men js not economy, but extravagance.

The the onrd of Estimate. Street-Cleaning Commissioner Waring received a letter from ex-Commiasioner William 8. Andrews to-day and made part of it public to refute the state- ment of Comtproller Fitch that Col. Waring did not need more section sta: tions where the men atore thelr tools and gather on pay days to receive sal- aries. He haw asked money to provide others, but has been refused by the Board of Eagtimate and Apportionment. In his letter Mr, Andrews told Com- er Waring he had difficulty with t Be ‘d of Estimate and Apportion- ment and was obliged to pay rent of ns out of moneys saved from appropriations for other purposes. He suggested that an additional suv- Ing might be made if the clty pi master delivered to the section super- Intendent the moneys for the men unde him and pay the men when they. fir ished thelr work. No time would be lost and the saving be greater. ONLY TWO DAYS A CLERK. A Discharged Employee Under the Bar for Two Years. Morris P. Sullivan applied to Judge O'Brien, in the Supreme Court, to-day for a writ of mandamus, to compel Commissioner Brookfield to reinstate him as a clerk in the Public Works De- partment. Sullivan was discharged as driver in the Street-Cleaning Department by Col. Waring for insubordination, on the same day he received a notice that he had passed the Civil Service examina- lon and had been appointed a clerk tn the Department of Public Works. He served as a clerk two days, and was notified that, having been ‘discharged from the Street-Cleaning Department, he was ineligible to hold a position un- der the clty for two years, Judge O'Brien told him his remedy was to appeal to Col. Waring for a hearing.
