THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE WEDNESDAY, JAKUAEY 8, 1896. MISCELLANEOUS. that far. We want to know what the terms will be. MISS LEE WAS DK0PPED.

WANT SUMNER RESTOEED. IRE FIRM FOR RESUBMISSION. these circumstances men went to the polls. There wore 18 or 19 and It took a very shrewd man to vote them all. I was not shrewd enough to vote them all.

And so it came to pass the vote was a very small one. There were 101,600 people on the register. Of these 173,650 voted for mayor and 129,211 on this questionof consolidation. Leaving out the towns of Gravesond, New Utrecht, Flatbush and Flatlands, there was 1,000 majority against consolidation. Bringing in all these outlying towns, there were 277 for It.

Now I should submit it to the judgment of any fair man whether that infinite testimony of majority of preference should be considered definite and According to my own judgment and looking at It calmly and candidly, the past measures to extinguish the corporate life of Brooklyn under those circumstances Is one of the most propoRterous things that has ever been performed. If this contract is carried out, it will be an infamous oppression. That's mild enough. (Laughter.) It will reach the final climax of Insolence and audacity. It Is a very grave question.

A good many of us have vested interests In Brooklyn. Interests of property and domestic life. AVe have helped to build tho city and we don't want the malign influence from across the river that will obscure what we have been trying to do for a half century almost. What. I say is that nothing ought to bo done in' this extravagant haste.

Let us have the subject before us and discuss it fully and largely and let us have a full and decided vote upon it. Let us hare time for discussion, and let all that delusive but perhaps not dishonorable hocuspocus of fourteen months ago vanish into the dim past." S. S. Whitehouse Are you in favor of the resubmission or referendum? Dr. Storrs The question ought to be whether the city wants consolidation or no consolidation.

Ex Mayor Boody said: "I don't fully understand the purpose of the meeting. And I don't fully understand the meaning of the resolution. Dr. Storrs has spoken of his love for our city, but I am sure it Is no greater than the love of the city for him. If tho purpose of this resolution is that any act should be referred again to the people, I have some doubts about the propriety of it.

None of us would be willing to approve of any act that did not provide fully for the interests of the citizens of Brooklyn. I doubt whether it Is wise for us to discount in advance any legislation that may be passed. We are supposed to have confidence in the legislature. It may be that an aet may be passed which will heartily approve of all those in favor of consolidation. It is quite probable that no act will be passed which would gain the approval of all our citizens.

I have gained the impression since coming here that perhaps all the gentlemen here are opposed to consolidation on principle. Dr. Storrs leans to that side. This Is purely a business question. Is it best for the City of Brooklyn? Will it be for our interests? I am, as you see, acting on the main question, and think our judgments will hardly agree.

When this question came to be actively discussed it was when I was holding the office of mayor, and the party with which I was connected opposed it. I felt the question should be referred to the people. I take to myself some credit that it was referred to the people ultimately. When any question has been referred to the people and decided by the people the conclusions which have been reached should be discussed wi th great carefulness. It may be that the people did not give full thought to the subject.

That fault was ours and not the fault of those that did vote. When I first began to consider the subject, my views were all against consolidation. But when I began to realize the needs of the City of Brooklyn, my judgment changed, and I say to you to night frankly I think the only relief Is full consolidation with the city of New York. And in this consolidation question we are not reaching out to any foreign city, we are reaching out for our own. What we desire is to raise money.

It is as it were a unity of both our handB. Our brains are there aud we had better unite our brains and our hands together. We are not consolidating with any foreign element. We are really consolidating our own and getting 'the benefit, of what we have produced ourselves. Why Is It that we do not have the taxable property here? Because we are located by the side of a greater city.

There is no other instance like it in the world. We must for our own municipal salvation have ithe character and the institutions of a great metropolis. Can we have a produce exchange, a custom house and a clearing house in Brooklyn? We cannot go on as we are. We arc gaining nothing and as we grow larger we arc suffering more. When a city reaches a million of people, it must have the 'institutions of a city of a million people.

Across the river we find the valuable taxable property. You cannot bring that property to Brooklyn Ex Congressman Coombs Did the experience of Westchester and such like provinces warrant us in consolidating? Mr. Boody I do not consider that a proper comparison. We have reached a million. Here we exist without our clearing house or a custom house.

We simply live here. Politically, I don't believe It is worse for us. Here are a million of people. Is it possible that those across the water should dare ignore us? Why, the population will grow after consolidation. I am inclined to think I am alone Jn my views here to night, but I feel It my duty to say absolutely what I have.

My duty has led me to a consideration of the. subject. I am prepared to say that, our safety, our welfare, our prosperity, must He along the way of consolidation. As far as Brooklyn is concerned, (his is purely a business question. As far as New York is concerned, It is purely a sentimental question.

They don't need anything from us. Capital will seek a big city more readily than a small one. Every step should be taken to warn our legislators to treat the subject with the greatest consideration. But I would not have any voice go' out declaring itself against consolidation. It the resolution means careful consideration.

I am with it. If it means otherwise, I shall have to vote against it. Mr. Kennedy saiid: "It Is proposed to destroy the autonomy of the City of Brooklyn while we live. We know that certain bills have been drawa or are being drawn.

Who drew them? I want to know that. Who are the Brooklyn representatives in these secret conferences for months past? I say that Brooklyn has not been represented In the bill, which has some sanction and authority of Mr. Greene. We hear that Mr. Thomas C.

Piatt Is an favor of consolidation. What are the hills? Before we go out of one state of metamorphosis I would like to know what other one we are going into. And in view of the purpose to destroy, to wipo out a charter, which is 'Incomparably better than that of New York, in view of the fact that they propose to take that away from us, I heartily agree with the resolution." Mr. Boody Are you in favor of consolidation, Mr. Kennedy? Mr.

Kennedy I really don't know. There are some weighty reasons in favor of consolidation. If you want to join the anti consoll datlon movement there, Is a splendid society across the street, and if you are against It, there are some real estate agents across the street. The question Is, Wnat terms will we get? Mr. Whitehouse Do you favor resubmission or a referendum? Mr.

Kennedy I am in favor with co operating with those who will get the best terms for the larger city.

JOHN D. EI LEY. Treasurer, per D. P. BIG EVANGELICAL MEETING.

THE FIRST OF A SERIES IN THE GRACE M. E. CHURCH. A special series of evangelical meetings which bids fair to be of unusual interest to church people and other residents of the park slope, was opened last evening In Grace Methodist Episcopal church. Seventh avenue and St.

Johns place, and was well attended. The meetings will be held nightly except Saturday and will be continued for the next ten days.The pastor of Grace church, the Rev. Dr. Allan MacRossle. presided, and the exercises were of a character that appealed with peculiar force to those who admire earnest wideawake preaching and excellent singing.

There wa3 not a dull moment from the opening of the service last evening until the close. The Rev. Salem G. Bland, son of the Rev. H.

F. Bland, under whose preaching the distinguished Unitarian clergyman, the Rev. Robert Collyer. pastor of the Church of the Messiah, New York, was converted, and the Rev. Dr.

MacRossie were the speakers of the evening. It will be remembered that the Rev. Robert Collyer was originally a Yorkshire blacksmith and that he was a Methodist before becoming a Unitarian. Mr. Bland is a young man about 35 years of age and one of the brightest and most popular ministers in Canada.

He is at the head of an influential and prosperous congregation and he is noted for his fervor and convincing presentation of the truths of the gospel. He will preach nightly until the close of the services. A feature of special attractiveness was the singing of J. F. Sherlock, who is known as the oratorio tenor soloist of Canada.

He Is the leading tenor of the Sherbourne street Methodist church and the solo tenor of the Philharmonic society of Kingston. Canada. Ho has a voice of rare sweetness which is under excellent control and which forms a novel and decidedly winning means of grace in carrying on evangelical work. His singing last evening attracted marked attention. Some idea of Mr.

Sherlock's ability as a vocalist may be Inferred when it is stated that he took the Cameron vocal prize, in competition, a few months ago, with all the tenors of Canada and Western New York. The prize gave the recipient one year in the Toronto conservatory of music and a year in Germany, In addition to a cash prize. Mr. Sherlock will sing during the series of services the following selection: "Comfort Ye" and "Every Valley." from Handel's "Messiah;" "He Was Cut Off" and "Behold and See," also from the "Messiah;" "And God Created Man" and "In Native Worth." from Haydn's "Creation;" "Ye People Renew Your Hearts" and "If With All Your Hearts." from Mendelssohn's "Elijah;" "Then Shall the Righteous Shine." also from "Elijah;" "He Counteth All Your Sorrow." from Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise;" "The Holy City." by Gaul; "One Sweetly Solemn Thought," by Ambrose, and "Abide With Me," by Torrington. Mr.

Sherlock also sang last evening, during the service several popular hymns. There was also excellent congregational singing, led by a male chorus of selected voices composed of the following: Dr. R. E. Merwlu.

William Creshull. J. W. Baldwin, Louis Irwin. Frank Hurst.

William Osborne. Mr. Walker. George Dumbleton. A.

William S. Lincoln was organist and William E. Darby was precentor. The ushers last evening wore William H. Quinn, R.

R. Messi ter, A. K. Shlebler and Frank Richards. Strangers are cordially welcomed to all the meetings, which begin at 8 o'clock and which last only an hour each evening.

The Rev. Dr. MacRossie. the able and energetic pastor of Grace M. E.

church, has taken special pains to make them interesting and there is every prospect that they will be largely attended. MRS. SPEIR'S MENTAL CONDITION TO BE INQUIRED INTO BEFORE COMMISSIONERS AND A JURY. Yesterday afternoon Justice Gaynor of the supreme court appointed James McKeen. president of the Hamilton club; Dr.

John W. Parish and Francis Gross, a commission before whom the question of the sanity of Frances Sophia Speir, widow of the late Dr. S. Fleet Speir. is to be determined, with the aid of a jury.

Dr. it will be remembered, died in December ID, leaving a large estate. The present proceedings are taken by Orene vieve A. Speir of 162 Montague street, daughter of the deceased and sole heir to his estate. The patient's property is alone valued at abouT $100,000.

Dr. F. Henry Birmingham of 1S5 Remsen street, who was for some time connected with Dr. Speir's sanitarium, deposes that Mrs. Speir is suffering from melancholia and that she Is undoubtedly of unsound mind and unable to properly care for her person and estate.

On October 10 Mrs. Speir was committed to Sanford hall, at Flushing, by Justice Cullen, on certificates granted by l)rs. V. N. Bates and Joseph J.

O'Conuell. Under the order which Judge Gaynor granted yesterday the hearing before the commission and jury will be held at Flushing. CHAIRMAN HAS NOT RESIGNED. FLORENCE PRESS AND DRAMATIC COMMITTEES SAME AS BEKOllE. The statement that tho chairman of the lra nuitic committee resigned from tho Florence, and that the resignation was accepted at the business nu eting of that society hist Monday night.

i not correct. William Hopkins, who resigned, is merely a member of the committee 11 nd he did not resign at the meeting mentioned. His rt'signation was parsed upon finally mul ic oepteil then, Mr. Hopkins not being' present. Justin McCarthy passed in his resignation to the president a week ago, ns chairman of the press committee, but 110 action has been taken upnn it.

A. P. Dunkley has not vet been appointed and may not be. Xor has the whole blame lieeu placed upon Mr. Hopkins for the widely advertised performance December.

He accepted a great deal of tho blame mid resigned. Mr. Nicholson, the chairman of the dramatic committee, is said to have resigned, but neither ho nor tho president wus present at the mooting and no action was taken. The resignation of Mr. McCarthy had been anticipated for months and had nothing to do with the performance in question.

Mr. Boody New York has recently made provision for an expenditure of $100,000,000. A quarter of that sum will probably be spent In transit across the river. Mr. Coombs I don't think 'we are here to discuss the subject of transit across the river.

I am certainly opposed to annexation. Mr. Boody Dr. Storrsi opened the argument. Mr.

Coombs The point Is that this question should be again submitted to the people. I believe It would be a permanent Injury to precipitate consolidation on the city of Brooklyn withouL again consulting it. None of us believes that that vote was final. Do you think it was final, Mr. Boody? Mr.

Boody I thought was final, as all votes are meant to be. Mr. Coombs Don't you believe that, if the people of Brooklyn had thought It was binding, there would have been a more general voto? I don't believe that the citizens of Brooklyn would for a moment submit to have their charter torn away from them by a aimple act of the legislature. Why do they object to having It submitted to the people? And why object to saying so? There may be that in the arguments which will ensue upon the submission of the question it will be shown that consolidation Is the best thing, but I must say that I don't believe that any act of the legislature will change the physical relations of these two cities. The river will always flow there.

For twenty years Westchester has been almost a wilderness, although It Is a part of the city of New York. We shall be, If consolidation takes place, under some such condition. Before wo have consolidation there should not be a man, woman or child who should not demand that the terms be made known to them. They seem to befraid to give us any assurance. New York doesn't seem willing to let us know upon what terms she will receive us.

Mr. Coombs questioned the propriety of Mr. Boody's arguments in relation to consolidation, as he was speaking simply to the resolutions which called for certain action before any consolidation could take place. The meeting was not called for the purpose of discussing the question of consolidation per se, but for providing some way In which the citizens of Brooklyn in pursuance of the policy of home rule should have a chance to pass upon the question again before consolidation was thrust upon them. S.

S. Whitehouse In my judgment it would not only be suicidal, but we should show ourselves a pack of fools if we did not give this matter further consideration. There are two things essential in this life to a man, first is self respect and the second Is the salvation of his soul. A hundred years ago New York Tvanted us Just as she wants us to day. She proposed to turn us down and give us nothing.

The word then used was annexation. Three years ago that was changed and consolidation was used. They don't talk of absorption any more, nor annexation any mere. If that's what they mean, let's find out what the terms are. If I had my way I would not have a resubmission.

I am in favor of compelling them to submit to us the conditions. I would prefer to have it debated in the open field, without bosses, and then let's see whether we like it or not. It is a tremendous question and one that will not be completed for years. I don't see how we can have a completed charter. The difficulty is In knowing the men you are to deal with.

This is a political, financial, educational and moral question, more moral than anything else. In finance the law is as potent as the law of gravitation. But let us look out before consolidation comes to pass we shall have something to say about it. Robert D. Benedict, the next speaker, said he was very desirous of resubmission to popular vote.

He understood that the former vote on the subject had simply been an expression of opinion. In the case of the former vote there was one third of a city voted one way. one third voted another way and one third didn't vote at all. He declined to accept that as an expression of the opinion of the City of Brooklyn. The matter, he said, was not discussed on its merits.

He added that they should be very sure that nothing went out from the meeting against resubmission. Henry W. Maxwell wanted a specific charter and George Foster Peabody remarked: "If we are going to pass this resolution I don't see what forces we are going to put back It. Will we back It up 'by a committee? My own judgment Is that a resubmission would be carried overwhelmingly. I think It is much wiser that we request a referendum." The motion was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously.

There was also the following motion proposed by Mr. Kennedy: Resolved, That an executive committee of seven be appointed by the chair, of which the chairman sTiall be chairman, to communicate to the governor, tlie senate and the assembly, the resolution here adopted to advise vigorous methods for effecting the purpose of this meeting. The secretary, Mr. Snow, read letters of apology from Benjamin D. Sllllman, Charles A.

'Moore and Edward M. Shepard. The proceedings terminated. MRS. HALL, GOING TO ALGIERS.

THE WIDOW OF THE LATE RECTOR TO SAIL NEXT WEEK. Mrs. Charles H. Hall, widow of the late rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Clinton and Montague streets, will sail for Algiers on Wednesday of next week. Mrs.

Hall's health has not been good since the death of Dr. Hall, and she has been advised by the family physician to seek rest and a change of scene by going abroad. Mrs. Hall will be accompanied on her trip to the East by her three unmarried daughters. The rectory adjoining the church In Montague street, where the family of the lamented rector of Holy Trinity church have lived for so many years will he vacated next week.

Mrs. Hall has looked around on the heights in the hope of securing a new home, available for residential purposes, but has not been able to find a house adapted to her requirements, and it Is probable that further action in the matter will be deferred until her return from the orient. Mrs. Edwin Beers of Remsen street, and widow of Edwin Beers, for many years a vestryman In the Church of the Holy Trinity, sailed to day for Algiers, and It Is likely that Mrs. Hall and family will rejoin her in the East.

Mrs. Hall will not return home for several months. TO HELP THE BLIND. AN ENTERTAINMENT TO BE GIVEN BY THE MISSES HOPKINS AND SULLY. To morrow evening an entertninment will be given at the Young Men's Christian association hall.

Pulton and Bond streets, by Miss Katharine Hopkins and Miss Charlotte Sully for the benefit of the Industrial Home for the Blind, 96 Lexington avenue. This entertainment will consist of Greek dances, adaptations from Greek statuary, recitations, monologues and dialogues, interspersed with music. The institution for which the entertninment will be given furnishes men who have been deprived of their sight with a means of livelihood, in manufacturing brooms, caning chairs anil making over mattresBes. It is now in the third year of its existence and the field of its usefulness is constantly widening. The officers are William Berri, president; David A.

Tickets for the entertainment can be obtained at tho Young Men's Christian association and at the office of the home, 96 Lexington auenue. UNDER A NEW CONSTITUTION. THE INVINCIBLE MAKES SOME IMPORTANT CHANGES. The Invincible club held its annual meeting last night at its club house. 1,318 Fulton street, with a very large number of members present.

The meeting was called to order by George W. Bailey, the retiring president, who in his valedictory address reviewed his ad minstratlon of the past two years and showed how the club had almost doubled In member ship since that time and the prominent part ii uciu Ltin.cu in iuc luai iu ca IUJJaiius. rlO closed by Introducing the Incoming president, John T.

THE OLD GUARD BALL. ONE OF THE LARGEST EVER GIVEN BTt THE ORGANIZATION. The Old Guard ball, at the Metropolitan opera house. New York, last, night, is said to have been the most largely attended affair ever given by the organization. The orchestra chairs, from the stage to the third row from the back of the house, was floored for dancing.

Music for the promenade was furnished by the Old Guard band, for the dancing by an orchestra led by Ernest. Never. The decorations v. vo fine. At 12 n'olcok was th grand march, led by Major Thomis B.

oiuatie, 01 the guard, who walkr with Governor Morton on his right and Major General Thomas Ruger. V. S. commanding the Department of the East, on his left. Governor Morton presented a commanding appearance in spite of the presence of the stalwart Major Sioanc.

The light complexion and hair of the governor have generally contributed to make him pictured as far from the really robust and splendid man he Is. Following them came Governor Morton's staff, after whom marched Governor Collin and staff of Connecticut, Governor Wcrtz and staff of New Jersey, Governor elect Griggs of New Jersey and Governor O'Ferrall and staff of Virginia. Among the visiting guardsmen at the ball were delegations from the City Troop of Philadelphia, the Worcester Continentals, the Providence Light Infantry, the Governor's Light Guard of Hartford and the Ancient and Honorable Artillery of Boston. Among those in the boxes, beside the governors of different states, were General James McLeer and staff. Second brigade, N.

G. N. Y. General and Mrs. C.

H. T. Collis, Adjutant General and Mrs. E. A.

'McAlpin. James Kane Mason. Mayor Strong and a party of friends. General and Mrs. Thomas Ruger, General Louis Fitzgerald and staff and Colonel Lucien F.

Burbee. A large number of Brooklyn officers In addition to those mentioned above were present. Major Sloane is a Brookiynite and many the guard come from this city. THE UNFINISHED CATHEDRAL. ITS COMPLETION THE PURPOSE OF A MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT.

"One of the great differences between tha Catholic church and other denominations is no matter where the Catholics establish a church, there tho church stays, regardless of changes that tako place in the nature of the neighborhood, for there always is a congregation to be found once tho church is established, while with other denominations there are change constantly being made owing to the removal Qf the members of the congregation to other localities. This is ono of the plainest facta which goeH to show that the Catholic church is the church of the people in the fullest sense." The above was part of a written address read last evening by Francis Gottsberger at a meet iug of the Catholic Historical society at His torical hall. The meeting had been planned to bring forcibly to the attention of the Catholics who reside iii Brooklyn the necssity that exists for completing the cathedral building which it is intended to erect in tho block bounded by Greene, Clermont, Lafayette and Vanderbilt aveuueri, anil the foundations for which were built in 1SGS. The Rev. James H.

the Rev. John M. Kiely, ex charities commissioner Thomas W. Hynes," M. F.

Vallette, the president of the society. J. V. Carroll, H. Huaren and T.

P. Mulligan, had seats on the platform. Mr. Gottsberger also said: "It's a curious fact that neither tho lata Bishop Loughlin. nor the present bishop oven caw 11 completed plan of the structure as proposed." said Mr.

Gottsberger, "Mr. Keeley is now tin old man. He has been an invalid for some time and the chances are not promising; for his being iiblo to undertake further work on ihe structure. It is understood he took tho famous Notre Dame, at llouen. France, for his model when he conceived the idea of the Brooklyn cathedral.

The plaus originally designed by him, it is understood, called for a frontago oil Lafayette avenue of 100 feet, with towers at each side oil feet square at their base and 350 feet to the top of tho crosrf. The above re murks suggested themselves and neem to be in kuepiug with the object of this paper, which is to stir up a feeling among the Catholics of. the diocese of Long Islund that thero is an object to be accomplished, the beginning of which lias been so grandly made. The fence hits stood around those moss grown walls long enough and if the times should ii the near future be propitious, wo can be sure that our worthy bishop will be only too glad to begin the work again and bring to a speedy finish what will prove to be an honor to the Catholics and an adornment to the City of Brooklyn." "i'ho Boyhood of America's First Cardinal" watUe subject of a paper by Joseph E. Owens, which was read by the Father Mitchell.

Cardinal McCloskey's boyhood days were told, of in a most attractive manner. The tirBt cardinal, who was born in Brooklyn on March 20, 1X11). was the son of Patrick' McCloskey and Elizabeth Harron. who came from Ireland a few years before his birth. Patrick McCloskey was a chemist, who by thrift and economy succeeded in obtaining a competency.

Brooklyn's population in 1S10 was 5.000. The future cardinal studied in two private schools, one of which was presided over by a Quaker aud the other by a woman of distinction. It was from the latter teacher he was wont in alter life to say that he acquired the habit of clear and distinct enunciation, for which he was so universally admired. Subsequently ho attended Mr. Brady's Latin school iu New York.

The latter was the father of John K. and James T. Brady. His father died iu 1H20, and his mother sent him to Mount St. Mary's, Enmiotsburg, Md.

He wus ordained bv Bishop Dubois on January 12. Father Kit ly read his own paper, entitled "Pioneers' Struggles." It dwelt on tho early niissious on Long Island and the history of tho Catholic church before Bishop Loughlin came to Brooklyn, and from the time ot his arrival to his death. He also touched on tho progross of the church iu America aud this Htato. The tirst Catholic church on Long Island, outside Brooklyn, was built in in Jamaica. Churches were also built in lbll in Astoria and Sniithtown.

Proposals were opened for furnishing window shades and electric bells for schools No. 2 and 43 and for heating and ventilating No. 0 and the addition to 'No. 72. Proposals were also opened for furnishing supplies to the truant school and for alterations and additions to the board of education building, in Livingston street.

The proposals were referred to the committee on school houses. The secretary of the board read a communication from certain residents of Highland avenue. Newtown, petitioning that children formerly In attendance at city school No. 108, near the line, be permitted to return to the school upon certificate of their good health. The petition, after discussion, was referred to the local committee of school No.

10S. with power. In this connection it may be stated that the board's bylaws provide that no nonresident children shall attend the public schools of this city. In the discussion it was stated that more Brooklyn children had been attending Queens county schools than the reverse. Mr.

Williams asked for information as to how Queens county children could be taught alt the expense of Kings county taxpayers. The teachers committee, through Mr. Bouck, in the absence of Chairman James Weir, presented the following resolution, the passage of which he asked of the board: The committee on teachers recommend the following: Resolved. That the action of the local committee of Public School No. S4 in disbanding a class of the eighth grammar grade In suid school November 30.

and notifying the teacher thereof, Man' B. Lee, that iter services were no longer reoulred. be and hereby is approved. Resolved. That the recommendation of the local committee of Public School No.

S4 that Mary B. Lee be dismissed, from the service be and hereby is 'ipprovpTl, said dismissal to date from January 7. Colonel Culyer was on his feet at once. He. asked If that was the only information thei members of the board were to have on the subject.

The resolutions were the first official knowledge he had us such proposed action. It might be all right and it might not. He thought, however, that there had not been much consideration shown to Miss Lee in her dismissal. A man would not have been treated in the same manner. If local committee and the superintendent and he had been.he would have grappeld with the demanded a satisfactory solution of the difficulty.

So far as he saw, an injustice had been done Miss Lee. Mr. Bouck replied by saying there was no work for Miss Lee and the board could not go on paying her. Chairman Klendl of tho local committee entered into an explanation of the committee's action, going over the ground taken at the time the matter first became public. Mr.

Culyer. speaking after Mr. Klendl, renewed his statement as to the injustice of the proposed resolution. "There is a feeling among tho teachers," he said, "that they do not always have justice done then." Miss Chapman asked if the second resolution of dismissal were necessary, and upon President Swamstrom's assurance that it was unnecessary, Mr. Bouck withdrew the second section of the resolution and it was passed.

If Miss Lee can secure appointment as a teacher in any other school in the city there Is no objection to her doing so. Mr. Klendl, In fact, stated In the board that he hoped she would be able to do so. The special committee, to whom was referred some time since the charges of shortages of supplies of coal furnished to Public School No. 12 by E.

H. Itjen, brought in its report sustaining the former report as to shortage in deliery, but reduced the shortage before named to 31 tons and 1,700 pounds, having excluded tons delivered near the close of the session of 1S94 95. The report closed with the recommendation by the committee that E. H. Hjen's bill for coal delivered in September, 1S95.

to Public School No. 12 be audited for the sum of $581.21 as full payment. The report was adopted without discussion. On motion of Mr. Hooper the board authorized the fitting up of a room in the third story of the board building, at an expense of not more than $150, for use by the directress of sewing.

Several changes In the course of study in the Training School for Teachers were adopted by the board, as were also certain changes in the commercial course of study in the boys' high school. Chairman Brill of the Truant school committee Introduced a resolution providing for the alteration of an old barn on the premises into a hospital for emergency use. The resolution was adopted, as also were resolutions providing for new plumbing in the main building and the erection of a brick wall In the playground. The board passed a number of resolutions providing for the purchase of various new sites in outlying portions of the city. Mr.

Buttrick brought up the question of the nw rules regarding the granting of teachers' certificates by demanding the second vote upon the amendments adopted at the December meeting. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Rowe asked for a reconsideration, which was carried. The amendments were finally adopted for the second time by a large majority, Messrs.

Rowe and Bouck requesting to be recorded as voting in the negative. Mr. Maxwell of the teachers' training school got the board to consent to the employment of two additional teachers for the school In physical and voice culture at salaries of $1,000 each for the first, year and gradual raises up to a year. Mr. Maxwell then moved the transfer of No.

54, a branch of No. 45. to the teachers' training school as a branch. Mr. Bouck vehemently opposed the transfer.

He thought the training school committee had great gall to introduce such a resolution without first consulting him about It. He Is chairman of the school's local committee. Colonel Clark moved that the selection cf a school as an annex for the teachers' training school be laid over until the board's next meeting. Carried. A resolution to appropriate $1,000 to pay the salary of a librarian for the eastern district library was passed by the board.

Referred to the committee on finance, with power. Tho board refused to make Lincoln's birthday, February 12. a school holiday, a motion to lay on the table being carried. The committee on finance presented the following report of the financial transactions of the board for the month of December, and the condition of the accounts on December Aggregate amount warrants drawn.

An Opinion Current in Certain Circles That the Former Captain of the Columbia Was Unjustly Punished Petitioning the President in His Behalf (Special to the Eagle. Washington, D. January There is a quiet movement on foot in naval and other clrclps to secure the restoration of Captain George W. Sumner to duty in the navy. It will be remembered that last summer, while the cruiser Columbia was in the dock at Southampton.

England, owing to the defective docking of the vessel, she was badly strained In several portions of her hull. A court, martial was ordered to place the blame for the and the verdict found Captain Sumner guilty of negligence in the discharge of his duty, and he was subsequently placed on waiting orders. There were many who did not believe the verdict was a just one, or that Captain Sumner should have received such a hard sentence, in view of his past excellent record. These friends of the ex captain of the Columbia have been working of late to bring about his restoration to duty, and Congressman Denis M. Hurley of Brooklyn has lcc appealed to by a delegation from Chicago to urge the President to set aside the verdict of the court martial.

Mr. Hurley to day presented to President Cleveland the following circular, which Is sfgned by a large number of naval officers who served with Captain Sum nor during tho war: To the President of the I'niled States: We, the undersigned, citizens of the T'nlted States, who served In the regular and volunteer navy of th" L'nhed States during the war of the rebellion. believinB that an injustice has been Inadvertently d'me Captain OeorKe W. Sumner. V.

S. navy, by the recent finding of a court martial Inadvertently rereent that undue Injury been done to that most worthy olllcer in the estimation of the public at lare where the facts are not known or the motives We re ft to the distinguished and unblemished record of Captain Sumner from the beKinnln of the var of the rebellion down to the present time during which sen Ice lie has borne himself bravely in action, has commanded vessels with skill and credit to our country, and has won the respect and eood will of all who have seryed with him. And we hereby respectfully request that you will in your wise discretion set aside the verdict of the court, in suid case, and restore Captain Sumner to duty. if the national banks of the country are to take the bulk of the bonds to be subscribed for next month, the financial Institutions of Kings county will be in a position to buy quite a block of them. According to the statement of Controller Eckels, made to the Eagle correspondent this morning, the amount of gold coin held by the national banks of Brooklyn, up to December 13.

1SII5, was as follows: Gold coin, gold treasury certificates, S1G0, 000; making a total of that could be applied to the purchase of bonds. In addition to this sum they also held, in legal tender notes, $1,544,608, and in United States certificates of deposit for legal tender notes, $40, 000. a total of These notes are all redeemable in gold, and if the banks desired, they could be redeemed and the gold used in buying the securities that will be offered for popular subscription in February. This makes a grand total of $2,001,031 that could be furnished by the banks of Brooklyn. The following Brooklynites were to day granted patents: Joseph F.

Batchelor, valve controlling device; William C. Grant, read vehicle; Frank M. Leavitt, assignor to E. W. Bliss shaft coupling; Samuel W.

Lewis, flush tank apparatus; Henry A. Lu grin, assignor of one half to M. D. Fielding, stop watch; John Ormerod, assignor to American Soda Fountain company, carbonating apparatus; George A. Schmitlz, automatic switch; Charles Velt, fountain pen; George W.

Jennings, trade mark for artificial fluids and Fritz Schmidt, trade mark for gloves. The administration is watching the campaign in Cuba with the utmost interest.

The successful march of the army of Gomez appears to afford grounds of hope of his gaining what looked impossible a little while ago. If ho should attack Havana, the capital and metropolis of the island. It Is thought the North Atlantic squadron, under Admiral Bunce. now lying at Hampton Roads, would be ordered thither for the purpose of protecting American interests. This would be the usual course under such curcumstances, and Spain would have no right to make objections.

"If Havana should fall into the hands of the insurgent Cubans," said Senator Sherman, chairman of the committee on foreign relations to day. "the United States would unquestionably accord them recognition as a belligerent power. It is the custom, whenever insurgents gain a great and decided victory or advantage which seems to give assurance of ultimate success, to give them this recognition. The capture of Havana would be at once such a victory and advantage as would prestige their ultimate success." In order to understand the state of affairs that should exist before the United States would be justified, according to international law, in according belligerent rights to the Cubans, it is pertinent to quote from President Grant's message in 1S76. Cuba was then in a state of revolt, as she Is now, aud had been for two years.

He said: "The question of belligerency is one of fact not to be decided by sympathy for or prejudice against either party. The relations between the parent state and the insurrectionists must amount in fact to war in the sense of international law. Fighting, though fierce and protracted, does not alone constitute war. The insurgents hold no town or city, have no established seat of government and no organization for receiving and collecting revenues." A dozen or more prominent representatives of the Cuban insurgent party arrived in Washington last night. They will establish headquarters in this city, aud although It will not be recognized by the United States as such, they will call it the Cuban legation.

If the United States does take the step this country will have to look to the insurgents, it Is claimed, whether they are successful or not, for the payment of indemnity for damages, consequent upon the war. Before the insurgents are recognized as b.elligerents by this country Spain Is responsible for all damage to American property. It is a fact that there has existed all along a strong disposition on the part of congress to do something to aid the Cubans in their struggle. Resolutions recognizing their belligerency have been introduced a number of times. Should Havana a fall to the insurgents it is thought that such a resolution would almost immediately pass the house.

Senator Morgan, former chairman of the committee on foreign relations, and ranking Democratic member of it, has this to say on the question: "According to the neutrality laws of the United States it would be necessary for this government to recoguize the belligerency of the Cubans, should they gain such a victory as the capture of Havana. I am in favor of' Cuban supremacy." Congressman Babooek of Wisconsin will, within tho next few days, introduce a bill in the house providing for tho etsblishment of the labor bureau as an executive department of the government, whose head shall be allowed admission into the cabinet of the President, and be vested with voice equal to that cf other cabinet officers. The bill is at present in a crude condition, but its more salient points have been outlined by Mr. Baheock and the filling in of the necessary phraseology is all that is necessary to prepare it. for introduction.

The intention of Mr. to present the bill has been encouraged by the labor organizations throughout the country. Mr. liab eoek is not prepared to discuss the bill at this time other than to give a few brief ideas as to it nature, but he is said to have expressed the conviction that the measure will pass the house. A bill of similar import will be introduced in the senate, and lis passage pushed wit.h all possible expediency.

The measure is of great importance and the transformation of the bureau into an executive department will be of incalculable benefit not only to the government but to labor as well.

WHY ANOTHER VOTE IS NEEDED. J. Coombs, S. L. Whitehouse and Others Argue for Another Reference of the Question to the People Ex Mayor Boody the Only Speaker at the Academy Meeting Who Holds Different Views.

An important meeting to consider tho sub 'joct of consolidation was held last night in the directors' room of tho Academy Music. Tho inclement weather had the effect of diminishing the attendance, but the fifteen or twenty men who were present were prominent in business and other pursuits. The meeting was called by a circular letter which ran as follows: Brooklyn, X. January 3. 1S90.

Dear sirGovernor Morton, In his annual message lo the legislature, hits' recommended that earnest and careful consideration be (riven to the subject of the proposed incorporation of a Greater New York and several bills have been prepared for Introduction in the legislature having for their purpose tho consolidation the cities of New York and Brooklyn. In view of the fact that interests of tho greatest importance to the City of Brooklyn and to ali its oltizens are Involved In questions likely to be brought before the leRlsla ture, you are respectfully requested to attend a meeting of a few citizens In the directors' room of the Art buiidintf. 174 Montague street, on Tuesday evening, January 7. at o'clock. Very truly yours, RICHARD S.

STORKS. CHARLES A. SCHIEREN. CHARLES A. MOORE.

HENRY HENTZ. Those present last night Included the Rev. Dr. Richard S. Storrs, ex Congressman V.

J. Coombs, ex Mayor Schieren, ex Mayor David Boody, John Wlnslow, Colonel James D. Bel Henry W. Maxwell, George Poster Peahody. Professor Franklin W.

Hooper, ex Alderman Cary, Henry Sanger Snow, Henry Hentz, H. K. Sheldon, Elijah Kennedy, S. S. Whitehouse and A.

D. Wheelock. On motion of Mr. Hentz Mr. Schieren was made chairman.

He said: "For years I have favored annexation to New York, nerhaDs from the fact that I have large business interests over there, but, uaving Deen mayor of this city for two years, I have come to look at the matter in a different light and consider it rather problematic and doubt very much whether Brooklyn will gain anything by mere annexation. Certainly the bill proposed by Mr. Green, which desires to have consolidation in name only, should not be considered for a moment. We do not want consolidation in the dark; we must know absolutely the terms and the people of this city should have a voice in the matter. The mere name of New York will not add one dollar to the value of our property in this city (applause), nor does it satisfy or benefit us.

The name, Brooklyn, is dear to us, and around It clusters memories and historical events that we are proud of. Brooklyn has fame, as well as her neighbor, New York. It is by no means certain that Brooklyn will gain financially. The tax rate of New York is steadily Increasing, and with such proposed large territory added, comprising more than 250 square miles of unimproved property, the greater New York will have a tremendous burden to bear, which may prove rather expensive to the taxpayers. We have experienced this to some degree in our newly annexed wards.

They demand every city improvement upon miles of country roads and lots. And politically, it is questionable whether this city will gain anything. 3rooklyn en Joys a good local government at present, with a fair prospect of continuance; such prospects do not present themselves in New York. On the contrary, every' evidence points to the reinstatement of the former Tammany regime. I am sure the people of Brooklyn cannot look with favor at such a prospect, and certainly do not desire to be ruled by Tammany." Dr.

Storrs was the next speaker. He moved the adoption of the following resolutions, which, after a discussion of two hours, were carried unanimously: Whereas, Several bills have been and ore beinp imroauction in the present session leKllature of New York, the purposes of Which are to seriously modify, abrldse or supplant the present charter of. the CIlv of Brooklyn and existing laws atrectlns the public interests of the city; therefore Resolved. That It Is the sense of this meeting that whatever legislation Is proposed, no law should be enacted which will deprive the people of Brooklyn of the rlpht to determine, by popular vote, wsetner they win accept or reject any charter or other measure which shall be Intended to replace the present charter or terminate in av way the corporate existence of the Cltv of Brooklyn. When Dr.

Storrs was reading the resolutions Mr. Boody came into the room, and at his request the doctor read them again. Then he said: "I have not given any particular thought to the resolutions, although In the main they express my views. I suppose we are to antagonize anybody who may hold and different view from ours In the great matter. We are here to compare our opinion with yours and set them forth with yours on a subject which Is of great and vital interest to us all.

It is understood that the people of New York, or a great majority of them, are very eager to have Brooklyn absorbed in New York. That Is very naturai on their part. They are extremely desirous to be considered the greatest city. There are a good many citizens in our own city who agree with the New Yorkers in 'this matter and for various reasons financial, political, etc. they desire to have the existence of its municipality merged into that of New York.

They have a perfect right to their opinions and to extend them whenever they have an opportunity. There are, on the other hand, a large number of citizens in Brooklyn who arc distinctly and absolutely opposed to any scheme which shall terminate the corporate life of this city. They have a right to their opinion and a right to enforce and extend it, whenever they have a chance. There are some, and, I think, a good many, set in their minds beyond any reference of the question of tho union of New York who do not desire the extension of the corporate life of Brooklyn, yet are willing to hear reason and submit their judgment to reasons which they may feel to be important. I am one of that class of people, not absolutely predetermined against consolidation with New York and yet not favoring it.

I am ready to hear it more discussed at large and feel that the people of Brooklyn ought to be fully represented on this subject after intelligent, candid and large discussion. My judgment Is that we must have a vote of the people of Brooklyn before any laws are passed by the legislature looking to the extinction of a corporate lire. It seems to me that Brooklyn is too vast to bo moved about by other people like the pawn on a chess board. Here we have a city more than sixty years old, which has mere than a million of population; a city which has a real estate assessment of $540, 000,000, a tax rate of $16,000,000 yearly, and cf which 3,000 houses were built last year at an aggregate cost of at least $12,000,000. There are 120,000 scholars In the public schools and 26.000 people.

We have many institutions of culture and charity. We have a magnificent nark system on which $4,000,000 are being expended. We have a public spirit which has risen strongly into new power and which attained its climatic condition a few weeks ago. We have given lessons in good government to all citizens in the land. I am most fond and proud of Brooklyn.

(Applause.) I have lived In it almost fifty years and enjoyed it all the time, and done whatever came in my way to make It more beautiful and attractive. A city like this Is not to he taken by people from abroad as if it had not such a magnificent future before It, and I don't understand why a majority of 40.000 in New York In favor of annexation should affect us any more than it. would affect our candidate for mayor. I Insist upon It that before we come to a measure Which merges our Individuality as a city into that of New York we must have a popular declaration on that question. (Applause.) New York, of course.

Is wealthier and a more splendid city than ours, but It has a population that is more heterogeneous than ours. It is built like a gridiron and has one street, of tenements and ono street of palaces running side by side almost to the Harlen river. There is great wealth there but there is also wider aud deeper public corruption there than we have ever had In Brooklyn. And there are indications that It I coininc Wnelr t. that we shall have an Intelligent and fear less vote in tnc City of Brooklyn.

It Is said that th ero was a vote, but it was no voto at all. As matter of fact, tho citizens of Brooklyn were advised that it was not to be a vote but an expression of opinion. This was in the circulars which were sent out. at tho time, that It was merely an expression of opinion und had no value as a voto.
