Shevlin. Mr. McCarthy and Mr. were in close conference. Mr.

Mei'an en did not appear. After talking thinss over with his lieutenants. Mr. McLaughlin saw the newspaper men and formally declined to make any statement on state politics. To an Eagle reporter he said: "I've been away for rather a long time, and I know little about the situation except as I have seen it in the newspapers.

I have deliberately determined not to talk now. and that doesn't mean by implication that I will talk later." "Are you willing to say what you think of Hill as state leader?" "N7o. 1 don't care to make any remarks on that subject." "Have you changed your opinion of Mr. Hill since the uleastiut observations yo; made about him after the election of "Whatever I said ahottt Mr. Hill then was true.

But neither Mr. Hill nor any other man is infallible." Mr. McLaughlin had been tjuoted in a Manhattan paper as having said "It is no use for a few to talk harmony. All mut be ready to unite. It won't do for erne to get all the fishes: the fishes must be banded around.

They were printed in the Eagle of November lSfiT. as follow: "I want to say that forty years ago 1 carried banners on which was inscribed the motto, 'Honor to whom honor is I think that David B. Hill ought, to be the proudest man in the United States day. That is a corker, isn't it? You may remember that I used that word ir. a talk I had with vou in the Mayor's office some years ago.

David B. Mill was selected by Samuel .1. Tilden as his representative in the State 'onventioh. Mr. Hill has been a very much abused man.

1 do not; suppose that Mr. Hill will take the trouble to tell the oeoPlc of the State of New i ork what his feelings arc. but I can say of him and I have not seen him in months that he's the proudest man in the state to day over the result of the election.

Mr. McLaughlin eomes back Ironi vacation to find Hill again in the saddle and he greets the with coldness, such as misht have been anticipated more easily fre.m anybody else. Naturallv this topic was dicussed by tne Democratic leaders who have always regarded McLaughlin as more friendly to Hill than either McCarthy or or Mc ar ren Thev had various ways o. acountttis for it.

but the one most commonly accepted bus alway. liked Hill, bin he doesn't like to have things taken for gran ted about the attitude of the Kings County Democracy. It is not generally knov.n. but it is a fact that Hill first, brought Lewis Nixon line, and then was prepared to deal with In cavalierly fashion if he liked. The lie.mtv leaders were put in the position of Colonel Cro Uett's They a.d.

A pretty tov. headed girl of three, quite well dressed in blue and buff, made free with the friendship of the clerks in the Adams street court this morning while the case of Thomas Y.

Colwell of 106 Fulton street was under consideration by Magistrate Kramer. Colwell had been arrested on the complaint his wife, Susan Colwell, of 238 Front i street, who said that mi i nomas uau ucaei Leu her since St. Patrick's day. The woman brought the child into court with her and permitted the husband to kiss it and fondle while they were waiting for the case to called. The court officers were particularly interested in the case, for there is another woman, it is alleged, who has es ranged the pair and there is a story that Colwell met her husband enslaver on he street the ot her day and gave her a sound beating.

"Does your husband support you, Mrs. Col well?" asked the magistrate after the woman had beea sworu. 'No," was the tearful reply. "He makes at buslness but he has not s7 jn aU la long time." Is that vour child, madam?" asked the nagistrate, pointing to the flaxen haired and little one, who was frisking about md making eyes at the clerks. "No." replied Mrs.

Colwell with a half sob. She belongs to my husband and the other woman." Vheiast part of the sentence came outw.masp.ieiu, ju, proceeded Has ne suppon.eu me emiu since lie JIUU6.U nei uuuk. replv. "She was born on at PatncK three years ago, and he brought her to my house on last St. Patrick's Day.

'Nothing at all." was the unconcerned re joinder.

"Well. I'll order you to pay St a week for the supnort of the child and your wife. In default of a bond of S20S. the amount for one ar. you will go to jail." Colwell did not have a bondsman handy, and he did not seem to think that one would come to the front for him.

So he went to jail mill in all likelihood will stay there for a while. Mrs. Colwell did not seem to mind hi minishment so much. hut. while she seemeii pity the child, and was willing to insi ii for time, she said that sue oouiu not support herself and keep it.

So she went to the office of the charities commissioner to see if there was not some way of getting the nreiiv babv into some institution. Solomon's judgment 'would have been at fault in this case, for the mother of the child did not appear in the proceedings. DIED IN A TROLLEY CAR.

Post Office Station will be established in a new building at the corner or Broadway and Lexington avenue about the middle of I BROADWAY J2TH present the speakers of the opposition.

There will he but few speeches in addition to that of Frederic W. Hinrichs. and they will all be. short and to the point. The underlying argument of the opposition is that the bill in its present form is subversive of the principles of a democracy and is un American in spirit.

Just what the fate ot the bill will be is still a matter of conjecture. Both sides are hopeful of success, but the prospects seem to favor the promoters of the bill. The fact that unless the bill becomes a law Brooklyn Library will be lost to the public has been found to be a strong argument in favor of the measure. The loss of the advantages of the library to the public because of the fear of the self pcrpetuating feature of the bill would, it is generally believed, be a severe blow to the administration. At present the fate of the bill lies in the hands of the Mayor.

If he signifies his approval, the bill goes before the Governor and upon being signed by him becomes a law. If the Mayor expresses his disapproval of the measure, it cannot become a law until again passed by the Legislature. The fact that if Mayor Low signs the bill ih rcnvernnr will in all probability do like wise has been the main reason for the de q( thg Commlttee of Flfty to make its to morrow in an attempt to pre the Mayol. lo veto the measure, u'nloss he thev realize that their efforts revent the bill becoming a law will have 1 Been in vain AT EAGLE WASHINGTON BUREAU.

Mr. Pollock declared the lighterage interests had been forced to seek relief because the dock companies in Brooklyn were trying to compel inordinate payments of wharfage. "If we paid a cent a ton every time we touched at a pier," he said, "it would put us out of business. Some of those companies rent their piers to steam vessels, yet when we go alongside the vessels to put on cargo they make us pay too. This bill ls in the interest of the commerce of the the district and against the desires of citizens there.

The ritv has decided to have a park between Fifty second and Fifty fourth streets, and the Senator says it would be ruined by the Dresence of canalboats there.

HEARING ON MORGAN BILL Promoters of Measure Believe That It Will Be Approved by the Mayor.

I To morrow morning Mayor Low will give a public hearing upon the Morgan Library bill, i The hearing will take place at 10 o'clock and from present indications It will be well attended. The promoters of the bill will make no attempt at a display of numbers and the arguments iu favor of the bill will be presented by Henry Sanger Snow aud one or two representatives from the Brooklyn Library nnd the Public Library. The opposition, which centers mainly in the self appointed Committee of Fifty, which has consistently opposed the measure since it was placed in the hands of the Senate Committee on Cities, will be well represented. Frederic W. Hinrichs will make the principal speqeh in opposition' to the measure, nnd his attack will be centered on the provision of the bill which makes the lihrnry hoard a self perpetuating body.
