THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 1899. EAGLE'S SUMMER' BESORT NUMBER RAGES AT NEW LONDON ALDERMEN PASSED THE BIG BOND ISSUES. APPRENTICES WANTED BY NAIIY DEPARTMENT. 44 It is an III Wind ThatBloivs Nobody Good.

IT WILL VINDICATE ST0RR0W. Criticism of His Methods in Picking a Crew Will Be Tame if Harvard Wins. For the first time since 1895 Yale will meet Harvard to morrow in a dual competition oa the water. In 1896, the Yale crew being In England. Harvard kept Its agreement with Cornell and rowed at Poughkeepsie.

Two years ago Yale rowed on the Hudson also. in conjunction with Harvard and the Itha in both the 'varsity and freshmen races to cans. Last season a Cornell eight trounced morrow. Yale's almost unbroken list of vie both the blue and the crimson in a snappy torit in the past and the Tact that the present race off New London and now, as has been rwh 1 Ie 11 ot exploited as a record breaker is quite up to the ale standard, are good and Hottenroth, McOarry.

Hyland. Leich. Murray, O'Grady, Williams and Vi le. Absent Ebbeta and French. Councilman Leich started the fight against Highways Commissioner Keating in the Council yesterday afternoon and soon had the body in a sharp debate.

Messrs. Cassidy and Francisco joined with him and poured hot shot Into the head of the Highways Department. Councilman Leich offered a resolution directing the Commissioner of Highways to submit lists of streets he intended to pave and he wanted it considered at once. Objection was immediately raised by Councilman Oakley on the ground that the time was not proper for its consideration. He would vote for such a resolution at the proper time, but first it was necessary to give the Highways Commissioner money for repaving.

It would be improper for Mr. Keating to make any announcement until he got money to do the work. Mr. Oakley reminded the Council that Mr. Keating would have to submit each street.

Councilman Cassidy declared it was evident Commissioner Keating did not Intend to keep faith with tfee people. His constituents were with him in his stand and the newspapers in bis borough upheld him. He insisted that his district be included in Councilman Leich's resolution. Councilman Francisco made a similar plea. He attempted to show that Mr.

Keating was PPle rairly and finally declared, eZe sot the rlght of th)s. but we have not got the press with us." Mr. Francisco declared he intended to look out for the six Council districts first of all, next the bor York BrookIyn and Anally the City of New On the call for motions and resolutions Councilman Oakley kept his word and asked toi tne discharge of the committee on affairs of borough which has been for weeks in a deadlock on the $2,000,000 repaving bond is Councllman Wise opposed the motion. He said he was a member of the organization wnen the mover was wearing knee pants. He believed the people of the different districts should choose the streets they wanted changed.

Councilman McGarry declared he would vote for the motion, although he regretted It had been made. He thought the Commissioner of Highways did not Intend to deal fairly with the boroughs and especially his own. The evidence was that he refused to tell where he intended to spend the money. As to the honesty of members, he said, he had never thought for a moment any were dishonest and he would not question anybody's motives. He would not sit in the body if he thought a man in it was dishonest.

Mr. McGarry thought ft a rare and curious thing that public opinion and the party organization were for a time In line and pulling together. Councilman Murray opposed the resolution as did Councilman Leich. The latter said the young newspaper correspondents did not understand or report the situation as existing. He was elected by his constituents and was held accountable to them and he did not Intend to vote for the committee's discharge or for the bond issue until he knew what streets In his district would be paved.

Mr. Oakley disclaimed any intention of disbelief in anybody's honesty. He was sorry to create a situation so painful, but the public interest demanded It. Councilman Goodwin also urged the committee's discharge. On the vote the motion was lost, ten men voting against it to seventeen in favor.

Twenty two votes were required to pass the resolution. sumcient reasons to Influence college sentiment. The 'varsity four, it is believed, will be won by Harvard. The latter and the freshmen race will be rowed to morrow morning. The "varsity crews win go to the line at 5:30 in the afternoon.

E. F. GALLAUDET, The Successor of Bob Cook as Coach of the Yale Crew. said in these columns before. Yale and Harvard have gone back to first principles.

Since the two New England universities last met in the Thames, there has been something of an upheaval in the rowing colony of each. Bob Cook, once absolute in his authority, is no longer supreme commander of the New Haven contingent. Although he had done more for the cause of 'ale boating than suuiu oi uie aiumni iounu tauit witn look methods, so the great coach stepped down and out. R. C.

Lehman, the English sportsman, who went to Cambridge and did his best to stem the tide of defeat, which was persist entiy sweeping over failed in bis task, like a number of others, and sailed for home many months ago. The rowing at Yale and Harvard this year has been in the control of an entirely new set of men and as constituted at present it is practically the Initial trial of both. Young blood has prevailed this spring, not only at Cambridge, but at New Haven. In fact, it has been particularly in evidence in the Yale coaching force, where Dr. Gallaudet's word Is law.

It Is not so many years since Gallaudc sat in a Yale shell 'aimself. In fact, It is Just six, as the present coach was a member of the winning crew in 1SU3. of which Ives was captain. His assistants, Cowles, Bolton, Armstrong, Rogers and Whitney, the latter three especially, are all able to recall their college days without the aid of a diary. Fresh hands have been developing Harvard's eight also, but from criticisms which have lately been humming In the air, it would soem that rreshness has been supplied In quantities rather too generous.

After all the abuse that has been heaped upon his head. It will be a double triumph for Coach Storrow If the Harvard 'varsity shell beats Yale to morrow.

Tho Brooklyn Daily Eagle issued its annual summer resort number on June 18, which eclipsed any previous effort this enterprising journal. The number. In addition to its 54 pages of news from mountain and seashore resorts all over the country, included a handsomely bound 56 page magazine. The magazine contains a general list of hotels and boarding houses, giving rates and distances from New York. To the seeker of a place to spend tho summer or a short vacation the Eagle is a most valuable friend.

Boston Globe. If any man does not know where to go to spend his summer after reading the outing edition of the Brooklyn Eagle he will be Indeed hard to please. It is by far the best summing up of the cool resorts in and around us that has ever appeared in print. If you have not read it, get it. Last Sunday's Eagle is worth a quarter and not three cents.

Indeed, there is no doubt about, it among a majority of the officers and enlisted men who now belong'to and frequent the arAnory. Any one with even the sense of Smell 4an fiasllv rliKCern thnt'. the mz I ouuiv. tl.l and It is for that reason we wonder jny honorable man more particularly of Captain Clayton caliber would 'It to accept the commission under the jstances. The duty of the Governor and this nAatter is plain.

They should throw out the vthole business, and have another an 1fS'c eIectlon Unless this be done, and the right of tho colonel to be colonel is unques upnejd, the discord and contention among the ofllcera so long notorious, wlllonly assume new forrai and perhaps be prolonged indefinitely. Captlain Clayton could win the applause of D'3 fellows by doing what any honorable man to do under the circumstances. Ho PVght to demand another election. That he cbb not done so is either a confession of weakness or an indorsement of chjeanery. No man can maintain the attitude that he does and expect to deserve the confidence and es taua.

ot those whom he wants to command." croouea that a consec circum other Due to Orders Issued by Tammany and Carried Out by John T. McCall. THE OAKLEY AND LEICH SPAT. Brooklyn Councilman Plainly Accused of Not Telling the Truth Alderman Bridges Explains His Vote. The Aldermen passed all the bond Issues, with but two minor exceptions, yesterday, and the Council Is now alone responsible for the "hold up." The fact ol the passing of the resolutions was due to the orders Issued by Tammany Hall, carried out under the direction of Alderman John T.

McCall, the Tammany leader. When the Brooklyn obstructionists found, upon the vote taken upon the Long Island Water Supply Company bond issue, that they could not hold up action further, nearly all of them fell in line on the subsequent bond issues. In the Council it was different. Councilman Oakley, the vice president and Tammany leader, carried out his promise to move the discharge of the committee on affairs of boroughs from further consideration of the issue of bonds for street improvements. He failed to get it through, as there were ten votes in opposition.

They were: Joseph Cassidy, Democrat, 99 Hulst street, Blissvllle, Queens County. Martin F. Conly, Democrat, 92 Adams street, Brooklyn. William A. Doyle, Democrat, 2G1 Fifty eighth street, Brooklyn.

William J. Hyland, Democrat, Westchester. Charles H. Francisco, Republican, 1,192 Hal sey street, Brooklyn. Adam H.

Leich, Republican, 314 Monroe Btreet, Brooklyn. Bernard Murray, Democrat, 1,262 Boston road, the Bronx. Joseph F. O'Grady, Democrat, Richmond terrace, Mew Brighton, S. I.

Francis F. Williams, Republican, 25 Orient avenue, Brooklyn. Eugene A. Wise, Democrat, 301 West One Hundred and Thirty eighth street, Manhattan. Henry French, Democrat, 78 Bradford street, Brooklyn, was absent, having left the chamber to pay a visit to the Aldermanlc Chamber about the time the voting began.

Charles H. Bbbets, Democrat, 328 First atreet, Brooklyn, was also absent. The vote was 17 to 10. It requires .22 votes to pass the resolution. Councilman Oakley was mad over the result and moved an adjournment.

Councilman Leich, who wants to vote for the issue of the Long Island Water Supply bonds, denounced the move as a Tammany trick to evade voting on other bonds. Councilman Oakley said: "You lie and you know you lie." Councilman Leich reiterated his assertion and was again told he lied, whereupon he cried, "I hurl the accusation back in your teeth." The meeting adjourned amid great excitement. Details of the Aldermanic Meeting. The Aldermen devoted themselves to detail work after the meeting opened and it was quite a little time after the time fixed for the consideration of the special orders, when Councilman McCall moved the special order in relation to the water bonds for the purchase of the Long Island Water Supply Company plant. He said: "I hardly think it necessary to take up any time in discussing this resolution.

We went thoroughly over the ground at the last meeting and every member is familiar with what this Issue Is for. The matter was discussed for an hour and a half last meeting. This is a warm day and I. suppose no one is anxious to waste time in talking and I move the adoption of the Aid. Burleigh asked permission, before the vote was taken, to hand in the letter of the Brooklyn League upon the subject, published yesterday, and to have it read and made a part of the record.

Aid. McCall did not object. After it was read the vote was taken with the result as announced yesterday. Alderman Bridges Discourses. Everyone had been looking for a speech from Aid.

Bridges, but he kept himself in reserve until Aid. McCall moved the adoption of the report of the finance committee favoring the issue of bonds to the extent of $500, 000 for the purification of the Croton water shed. He said the money was needed to pay the people for property taken. In voting for this resolution Aid. Bridges eaid: "Mr.

Chairman, in explainin' my vote on the question I want to say on March 7, 1 898, I voted for this resolution, on March 11 I voted for thi3 resolution and on March 21 three times I voted for this resolution for the simple reason was because the contractor made a contract and I thought he had a right to get what was coming. I want it distinctly understood in the board, I don't vote for that resolution for what Aid. McCall has said because much he has said I don't believe not because the preBs has been a hammerin' me and the board, nor because any city official has been hammerin' me. "I'm not votin' through any fear of the press or fear of any city official. I am votin' for that resolution sir because 1 think it is light.

I think where a man has done work he ought to get paid for it; but on the other hand sir every man knows things are being done for this city that should not be done contracts has been given out in this city for to take and put up buildings, and money not yet appropriated. I think that is wrong for to do that. When these things are not approved then they will say we are holding up again. "I want it distinctly understood I don't do it for fear of the press or any city official for 1 was elected by the people of the Second Assembly District of Kings County. I sir am responsible to them for any vote I give in this board and that is the reason why and to them alone and no other or any city officials or any others am I responsible to.

I am responsible to them people and nobody else. Every time I vote according to my dictates of my own conscience." Someone nudged the Alderman and he stopped for a moment.

Wo Action on Ne wtown Creek Bridges. Alderman William F. Schneider, Intended moving the discharge of the committee of which he is chairman, from the further consideration of the question of the issue of bonds for bridges over Newtown Creek. He did not make the motion. After the meeting he said: "I got the members of my committee together and said I would make the motion.

The Brooklyn members said I was showing too much interest in the matter for a disin terested person, and I told them I had no interest except the public interest. I had talked with Commissioner Shea and he said the bridges must be built or the War De partment would come along and tear down I the old bridges. Just before I got ready to make my motion, two members of the com mittee agreed to meet Friday and act with the others if I would defer action. They said they wanted to give a delegation of citizens I time to call on the Mayor. I agreed to wait until the nerft meeting before taking action." Proceedings of the Council.

The Council, as already indicated, met, fought and adjourned again yesterday afternoon, unrepentant and unrepresscd. The Tammany men failed to get the stragglers in line and were defeated in their attempt to have the committee on affairs of boroughs discharged from consideration of the repaying bond issued. The vote on it stood 17 to S3 as follows: Affirmative The vice chairman, Bodlne, Price, Chrlfltman, Eneel. Foley, Goodwin, Hart, Hester, An Effort Will Be Made, Beginning Next Week, to Enroll 2,500 Boys. SEVEN TRAINING SHIPS READY.

A New Station for Apprentices Now Being Established at Yerba Buena Island. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, June 28 Bcginninc with Mon day of next week the Navy Department will be scouring the country for bright boys who want to enter the naval service. Two thousand five hundred youths, in all, are to be enrolled as apprentices, the naval appropriation bill for the next fiscal year making provision for that number, and going into effect July 1. This is by far the largest number of apprentices ever allowed for the American Navy, but owing to the growing scarcity of ordinary seamen It became necessary for Congress to make provision by which the Navy could educate its own sailors.

The extensive use of steam instead of sail as a motive power for modern ships has about robbed the "old salts of their vocations. They are dropping off at a rapid rato and few new ones are being turned out to take their places. The expectation of the Navy Department is to get Its main supply of' ordipary seamen hereafter from boys who have been trained as apprentices. Elaborate arrangements are now being perfected for the education of the large number of youths' who are to be taken Into the service. A big fleet of vessels is being equipped with quarters for them, and large barracks are soon to be completed on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, which will accommodate nearly 2.00U apprentices.

At the present time there are a few more than 500 apprentices in the Navy, no more being taken in on account of lack of proper accommodations. In anticipation of a large increase in the enlistments after July 1, however, the Navy Department has assigned the Mohican, Hartford, Monongahela and Adams for duty as training ships. In addition to these vessels the Alliance, Essex and Pensa cola are now being utilized. In a tew months a handsome naval training station for' apprentices will have been completed at Yerba Buena Island, California, with accommodations for 500 boys. The last Congress appropriated $100,000 for this purpose, with which a fine row of buildings have been contracted for.

One hundred and fifty thousand dollars were appropriated in the same act for the erection of barracks, mess hall, wash room and other necessaries at the naval training station on Coasters Tarbor Island, Rhode Island. These buildings are also to be for the accommodation of apprentices, arrangements being provided for the training of 1,000 boys. Another appropriation was made for dredg ing tne cnanneis approaching the Island, improving the grounds and roads, extending the sea wall and re furnishing of present buildings at that station. Bids for the construction of the barracks are to be opened on July 12. Captain Dickins, assistant chief of the Bureau of Navigation of the Navy Department, recently returned from a visit of inspection to the Yerba Buena Island barracks.

He planned the buildings there and says that progress on them is very satisfactory and that in a short time everything will be in readiness for the reception of apprentices. Congress made a special appropriation of $112,000 last session for bounties for outfits for the 2.500 apprentices to be enlisted. The outfit required of each boy will cost $45. Formerly it 'was the custom require the boys to pay for this by withholding their pay until the amount had been cancelled. By this rule none of the apprentices received any money during the first five months.

This worked such a Hardship on them that a change Is now made. Congress advancing the money. Providing a youth purchases his discharge and leaves the service within three months from the date of entry, he is made to, pay the full 45. If he leaves before the first year is up he pays one half of the cost of the outfit, but after twelve months of service he Is entitled to the uniform. The instructions being sent to the recruiting officers state that boys between the ages of lu and 17 years, may with the consent of their parents or guardians, be enlisted, to serve until they are 21 years old.

Rejections are to bo made where the applicants are under size or light of weight, and where signs exist of feeble constitution, impaired vision or other defects. Recruits are required to know how to read and write and must possess a fair general knowledge. While there is no chance for boys entering the Navy in this manner to get to command rank, yet they may be promoted to petty officers. The pay of those enlisted in the third class, is $9 a month, with promotion to $15 a month on completion of tour of service in a training ship. After serving one year on a regularly commissioned warship, apprentices are rated first class and receive $21 a month.

During their last year of enlistment as apprentices, they are given acting appointments as petty officers, providing their service is satisfactory, and on expiration of their term of service they are recommended for permanent appointment in the regular Navy. Recruits are to bo received at the following places next week, although it is likely that additional stations will be established later on; on the Vermont at the Brooklyn Navy Yard; on the Constellation at Newport, R. on the Wabash at the Boston Navy Yard, on the Richmond at the League Island Navy Yard and on the Pensacola at San Francisco. Another Test of Gathmann Shell. A second test of tho Gathmann shell will soon be made at Sandy Hook, differing somewhat from the first one held there several weeks ago.

The War Department has ordered several 15 inch smooth bore guns of an obsolete type to be removed from Fort Hamilton to the proving grounds at Sandy Hook to be used In the experiments with the high explosives. Instead of having the entire body of the gun burled so that the shell enters the ground in a downward direction, as was the case at the first test, only a portion of the weapon will be enclosed in sand at the approaching trial, and the shell is to be fired into a sand bank some distance off from tho gun. This will facilitate the escape of the gases which in the recent experiment burned up considerable gun cotton. The next trial of the shell is for the purpose of proving that the terrific charge of gun cotton will not explode on impact, but that it can be fired under perfect control. When used in actual warfare, a time fuse will he attached to each shell which will admit of explosion at the proper time.

Important Civil Service Ruling. Attorney General Griggs is reported to have made a ruling regarding one paragraph of the President's recent civil service exemption order, which will have an important bearing on several thousand people who expected to secure appointments under the new amendments. The case in point relates to ex ofllce holders who may be re appointed, provided their removal was caused by "reduction of force specifically' required by law." A large number of clerks who positions under the Cleveland administrations have filed applications for re lnstatement under this provision. One of these was a printer who had been discharged by former Public Printer Benedict. His application for re instatement was approved by Public Printer Palmer and sent to the Civil Service Commission for executi The commission referred the matter to the Attorney General for a report, this being the first ease of the kind coming up.

It is now said at the Civil Service Commission that Attorney Genera! Griggs has decided that the man in question was not discharged by reapon of a reduction in force "specifically required by law." In other words that the public printer had full discretion in removing him. The favorite reason assigned for removals heretofore hns been the necessity of a reduction in force, and if the Attorney General holds that those discharged on this ground are not eligible for re it will bar out a large number of men and women. it leaves practically only those who were dropped by reason of the reorganization brought about bv the Dockery law. These are comparatively few La. fiai4i.

SAENGEBBTJND REOKGANIZED. Bavarian Singers Getting Heady for the Big Festival.

Alter having been disbanded for nearly ten years, the Bavarian Saengerbund. one of the German pioneer singing societies of Williamsburg, was reorganized last night at. a meeting' held by a number of the former members at A. Amann's hall, 217 Maujer street. This was largely due to the approach of the great national saengerfest of 1900 and efforts are to be made to increase ttie membership to such an extent that the society will be In a position to play an important part in the contests at that occasion.

The reorganiza lon was brought about chiefly through the efforts of Sebastian Stumpf, tne former president, who was again elected to that office.

The new order will doubtless bring in many new recruits, but Just how it will work will be watched with much interest. These re emits will receive their first instruction on board a man of war instead of on a receiving ship, as has been customary heretofore. Th Navy has been increased at such an unuaual rate the past year that there is a scarcity oi enlisted men In certain ratings as well as an absence of necessary officers. Seamen and ordinary seamen are there usually. being enough petty officers and apprentices.

It ha. also been noticed that there are not ae many enlistments as heretofore. It is believed the recent order issued that hereafter the enlistment shall be for four instead of three yearn caused the falling off in tho enlistments. The doing away entirely with tho one year enlist menu may also have bad something to i) with the lack of new recruits for the Navy. This condition of affairs seems temporarily discourage the re enlistment ot men who think four years a long time to tie up with a man of war.

Another reason given for the scarcity of seamen. It is believed that the number of men who receive special instruction in gunnery ships and schools at the torpedo station at Newport and in electricity at the Brooklvn HODGERS AND Recent Yale Graduates.

Captain Miller told the Eagle reporter that an erroneous Impre. sion seems to have gone abroad about tii" eaeo with which applicants enlistment can have themselves sent to any of the many schools in electricity.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard ouVia is say it is in line with the policy of the Navy licpart nietit to keep the service tip Id date.
