THE EAGLE AND LONG ISLAND. City Works Commissioner Willis believes that Jacob Brenner will be the chairman of the Kings county Republican campaign committee. Said the commissioner: "The rules of the Kings county Republican general committee make the executive committee the campaign committee and Mr. Brenner is chairman.

In my opinion he will make a very capable chairman of the campaign committee." "He has power as chairman to add to the committee?" suggested. "He can call upon outsiders for co operation," replied the commissioner. "For instance, I was called Jn to assist In the management of the Harrison campaign, when we kept the Democratic majority, usually very heavy, down to 12,000." "How would you regard the renominatlon of Morton and Saxton?" I asked. "I do not think that the gubernatorial ticket Is properly under discussion Just now," said the commissioner, diplomatically. "I think Republicans ought to devote their attention to plans for getting the Republicans of the state solidly in line for tacKlnley and Ho bart." "Is there any likelihood that the McKlnley league Mr.

FKchle's organization will undertake to run the Brooklyn campaign?" "I do not think that the league contemplates such action. There does not seem to be any occasion for taking the management of the campaign away from the regular organization. All our delegates were for McKinley and Ho bart; there Is no reason for questioning the loyalty of the organization." Brenner intends to be chairman of the Republican campaign committee. One of his friends said to me: "To displace him would be a grievous insult. He will not consent to step aside tor anyone.

As chairman he will call for the assistance of some such practical men as Commissioner Willis or Register Hat man. Mr. Thomas Fitchle Is not going to boss the cam paign in this county, even If he did bring home a gripsack full of souvenirs from Major McKInley's farm." "So the Ohio Democrats are talking of nom inating John R. McLean as a free silver candidate for President?" said a veteran Tammany hall Democrat. "He would make a beauty.

MoLean has had a hard crowd to handle in Cincinnati. He has hard work to keep 'em straight. One year they broke looBe from him and cost more votes than there were people in some of the wards. On the crooked registry books they put the words Ri7er, Dale, Mountain and Valley. Then they filled in with the names of John River, Peter River, Michael River, Thomas Mountain, Robert Valley, and used up all the names they could think of.

A Cincinnati Democrat can give Tammany hall pointers." MTJL. COMMENCEMENT AT CANTON. Brooklyn Alumni "Visitors at St. Law renceA New President, J. Clarence Lee, Inaugurated.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONTENTION. New York the Banner State In the Number of Delegates. John R. Morris, the veteran secretary of the Brooklyn Sunday School union, writes as follows, regarding the eighth international triennial Sunday school convention, now in session at Boston, Mass: "'The afternoon session was full of Interest. The work of the home department was taken up; Dr.

Duncan of Syracuse and the Rev. I. H. Hallock of Rochester discussed the subject. The New York state delegation has the largest delegation and Is considered the banner state.

It has been a great gathering here. North, South, Bast and West sending delegates and all assisted in our great cause. One passeB through the streets of Boston and on every side he or she meets delegates, each wearing the state association badge. We are not strangers to each other, but we greet each other as friends in a noble work. Tho committees are doing all they can to make everyone happy," Crowds are attending the convention.

Colonel William E. Sinn's Strange Catoh. Anxious Sohool Children Big Intellects and Weak Bodies Bank President Called Down Commissioner Willis Will Not Discuss Morton's Proposed Renominatlon. This is the season of the year when the sea serpent mokes his annual reappearance, and fishermen are permitted to trifle with the truth in relating their experiences.

This is the season of the year when genial Colonel William E. Sinn of the Montauk theater Invariably remarks, if in the company of fishermen about to exchange fish stories: "Excuse me, gentlemen. I've got an Important engagement that calls me out of town." He cannot be Induced to listen to a fish Btory. Some of his friends have excused his conduct by assorting that he has conscientious scruples which make him suffer Intensely whenever he is obliged to listen to untruthful statements. But one of bis friends explains in this way his aversion to fish stories: Colonel Sinn was in Florida some time ago, at Tampa, where he met several Northern sportsmen who are experts with the rod and gun.

The colonel charmed the company with the recital of his thrilling adventures while in pursuit of big game. Before the members of the company separated it was agreed that on the following day, at a certain hour, all should meet and each should bring with him the fish or game lagged. The colonel remarked that he guessed he wouldn't go shooting because of a sore finger, and he would put in Ms time fishing. There is a long pier at Tampa, about a mile long, and on the end of it is the Tampa inn. Ducks, gulls and pelicans are flying about the inn at all hours, and so when the colonel took up hie position on the pier, rod in hand, he wished he had brought a gun.

He adjusted his bait carefully, then gave a long caBt in the air, just as if he was going for a trout. Before the bait could hit the water it was bolted, hook and all, by a pelican. It was a funny sight to see the colonel on one end of a line and a fluttering, thrashing pell can on the other. The colonel used some very hard language when he heard the natives haw hawing on the pier, and when, someone sings out: "Air you goln' to turn that pelican in with the other fellers' catches?" tie colonel raises up and Sings the pole as far overboard as he could fling It. Then he opened wine for the natives and swore 'em to say nothing about his most peculiar catch.

A lew hours later he turned up in the company of the sportsmen and smiled approvingly on their display of game tie evidences of their prow ess. "How is it that you are empty handed, Colonel 7" was asked. "Had hard luck, boys," responded the colonel promptly, "Hooked something that was big enough to be a tarpon. Nearly pulled me off the pier. Rod slipped out of my hand saw it sailing through the water at the rate of twenty knots an hour." Just then a little colored boy came up with a rod in his hand and dragging a dead pelican on the end of the line.

Sinn turned pale when the little coon inquired: "Bnny yo' gemmen loss a rod 'n line? Daddy foun' dis wen 'im wuz out a rowln dls mawnln'." Sinn's name was on the rod, he was obliged to confess, and he heard so much for a week about "the pelican flsher" that you can't get him to listen to a fish story nowadays. These are days of nervousness and anxiety for hoys and girls who hope to pass ex aminations which will make them graduates from the grammar school. Here is a speci men of one. of Superintendent of Public In struction Maxwell's questions: Kansas is bounded on the north by the fortieth parallel of latitude and on the south by the tnlrty seventn. It extends from 94 degrees 38 minutes to 102 degrees west longitude.

Find the width of the state (from north to south) in miles, and the length. in miles, of the southern boundary, assuming a degree of latitude to measure 69.2 miles, and a degree ot longitude on the thirty sev enth parallel to be .8 of the length of a de gree of latitude. "This would be a nice question to plump at the successful business men, eminent lawyers, distinguished clergymen and public officials of our city," said an irate father, in commenting on Mr. Maxwell's question. "The children of the public schools are crammed with a lot of information which will not be of the slightest use to them in the battle of life.

There is scarcely a successful busi ness man in town who could now pass one of Mr. Maxwell's examinations." I give these remarks without Justifying them merely as a sample of some of the ungenerous remarks made concerning a hard working official. 1 In New Tork city as well as In Brooklyn, the opinion that the youth of our cities are subjected to too severe a strain by their educators is gaining ground. Speaking of the graduates of the College of the City of New Tork, President Maclay of the New Tork board of education, says: "I noticed how many of the eighty odd graduates were weak and unhealthy looking. I wao also surprised to note the high order of; intellect displayed in the papers read by several of the graduates.

I therefore put two and two together, and came to the conclusion that everything aould hardly he Just right when an Institution produces giant intellects and pigmy bodies. It has been stated to me that they are of very studious habits, and peculiarly well endowed mentally. Few of them seem to care to equip themselves for a pursuit of any of the mechanical or producing arts, but rather wish such an education as will enable them to compete in the trades and in the professions. Many of them continue to study dUTing spare hours, and the result is narrow chests and stooped shoulders. I would indorse, I think, as an addition to the regular curriculum, a compulsory course of physical culture or gymnastic exercises, such as has been so successfully in vogue at.

Amherst college." If Maclay should visit Brooklyn he would find as healthy and handsome a lot of graduates as he could wish to see. Mr. Maclay and his associates in the board of education have shown good Judgment In electing Principals Walter B. Gunnison and Seth T. Stewart of Brooklyn as associate superintendents.

They represent the progressive, practical and sensible school of Brooklyn educators. The free silver men are going to have a mass meeting in New Tork to night, and Senator Tillman is to be the chief speaker. Ho predicts a revolution by ballot, and Intimates that there will be a revolution of another sort If the ballot favors the sllverltes. His threats are not to be laughed at. He is a dangerouB man a breeder of trouble, whom the federal government may yet have to suppress.

For several days the sllverltes of Manhattan island have boasted that a bank president would preside at their mass meeting. They named as chairman of the meeting Mr. Will lam P. St. John, president of the Mercantile National bank.

Mr. St. John la a free silver, man, and there Is reason to believe that at one time he would have consented to act as chairman. The directors of his bank and representatives of other banking Institutions are understood to have convinced Mr. St, John that It would bo very unwise for him to act as president ot a free silver mass meeting.

It was deemed necessary to publloly deny the olalms of the sliver men, and so Seth M. Mini ken of the firm of Deertng, MilUkea Co. "I am' assured by President st John that WILL BECOME AVAILABLE FOE REPAIR WORK JULY 1, Notwithstanding Her Improvements Sh Will Be the Lama Dnck of the Norti Atlantlo Squadron News From Washington. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, D. June 25 Orders will soon be Issued from the navy department for the bureaus of construction and steam engin eering of the Brooklyn navy yard to begin the preliminary work on the Atlanta.

Oa July 1 a considerable sum of money will become available for repairs on the Atlanta and Chicago and from that date on the Brooklyn navy yard will be the scene of much activity. The sum of $100,000 is to be expended In making the Atlanta as serviceable as possible. She is to have entire new boilers and her engines are to be overhauled and gen orally repaired. The machinery of the Atlanta is eight or ten years old and when put In her boilers were of somewhat antiquated design, so that in order to have her In service it became absolutely necessary that sn should be fitted with more modern boiler. There was a spirited controversy between the bureaUB of steam engineering and construction over the question of equipping the Atlanta with twin screws and' new engines, but the secretary of the navy decided that the expense that these improvements would en tall would be more than the department could stand.

The officers of the steam engineering bureau say that as the Atlanta will now have to be contented with simply new boilers and such repairs as can be made to her' engines, she will be the lame duck of the North Atlantic squadron when the vessels assemble under Admiral Bunce for the naval maneuvers. The plans for the repairs to the Atlanta are now being made In the bureau of steam engineering and as soon as they are approved by Secretary Herbert the active work on the vessel will be commenced. With the opening of the new fiscal year the navy departmentwlll also have $150,000 available with which to continue the work on the Chicago. The engines and boilers of this vessel are being thoroughly overhauled and the Job will probably be completed with this appropriation. The full force of draughtsmen and engine designers In the navy department is hard at work on the plans for the three battleships whose construction was authorized by congress.

As the law requires that the contracts for the vessels shall be awarded within 120 days after the passage of the act, which will bring It up to October 10, the department has no time to spare in the preparation of the plans and specifications. Owing to the lack of time, there will be a change In the usual manner of furnishing information to the builders about the battleships. It has been customary to send out blue prints of the various drawings at the same time that the plans and specifications were distributed, but this time the prospective builders will have to come to Washington, if they desire additional information than Is contained in the bare plans and specifications. Fortunately for the department, the plans for the new vessels do not differ materially from the Kearsarge and Ken tucky.eothatonlyalimited amount of changes are nceeasary. So far as the batteries of the three battleships are concerned, they are to be built upon the lines recommended by the Walker board.

Owing to the persistence of Senator David B. Hill in preventing the confirmation of the nomination of Collector of Internal Revenue John C. Kelley of Brooklyn, the latter "will lose a liberal slice of his salary for the month of June. Senator Hill gave it out early in the last session that he Intended to hold up the confirmation of Kelley until he was furnished sufficient proof of the latter's loyalty as a Democrat in good standing. As the New York senator did not let up on his opposition to Kelley, it Is to be presumed that the proper credentials were not forthcoming.

Upon the adjournment of congress on June. 11, KeUey5! presidential commission expired, and Alexander McKinny, the deputy collector ot Internal revenue at Brooklyn, has been acting" as collector since that date. The president, how ever, has reappointed Kelley, and the secretary of the treasury has sent the latter a commission, under which he will assume charge of the office on the first of the month. Kelley was dropped from the government pay rolls, however, after June 12, and when he receives his voucher for his June salary it will ''4' minus about one half of the usual amount, It was announced at the post office department to day that within the next ten days tha long expected report of the post office spotters on the Brooklyn letter would be given out. Assistant Postmaster General Jones, under whose supervision the spotter system has been batched, said a few months ago that tha Brooklyn report would be made public before the expiration of the present fiscal year, but the storm of disapproval that has greeted the whole spy system, seems to have made Mr.

Jone3 somewhat chary about again presenting the obnoxious subject to the public, and it la possible that his report on the Brooklyn carriers may be allowed to become mouldy, ltt the pigeon holes of hlB desk. SAVED HIS LIFE AND MONEY. An Old Man With. $2,000 Rescued by an Officer. Richard SeekamE, a retired grocer, 42 years old, living at 106 East One Hundred and Twenty third street.

New Tork, with over $2,000 In cash and checks in bis possession, was fortunate In falling into the hands of Policeman Martin J. Quirk of the East Fifty first street station last night. Seekamp was intoxicated, it is said, when the officer saved him from being run over by a Third avenue cable car at the corner of Forty eighth street. He had fallen and cut his brow on the track In front of an approaching car, when Quirk caught sight of him, and saved his life. At the officer's appearance a gang of rowdies, who had surrounded Seekamp as he fell, fled, leaving the injured man in the possession of the policeman.

Quirk took him to the station house, where a doctor from the Flower hospital dressed Seekamp'B wound. On being searched. Quirk found 197 Jn cash and a check for $1,700, drawn on the Germa nla bank, in Seekamp's possession. He was detained at the station house for the night and was discharged by Magistrate Wentwortfl at YorkvMe court this morning. In discharging Seekamp, the Judge said: "You are a fortunate man that you were not killed and robbed." Quirk said had Seekamp fallen in the hands of the gang they would certainly have robbed him.

OWE STORM A very pretty home wedding was that of Miss Laurentine Storm, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William H. Storm of Brooklyn, to Mr. George Brassett Owen of the same city, this afternoon, at 17 Lafayette avenue.

rne largest so noxea in tat two eltn Adv. Turned Out Reformers and Adopted a Bimetallic Platform. WORK AT SARATOGA FINISHED. At the Afternoon Session the Report of the Committee on Credentials Was Indorsed and Mr. Shepard and His Followers Left the Hall National Delegates Chosen Full Text of the Platform.

(Special to the Eagle.) Saratoga, N. June 25 The story of the early proceedings of the Democratic state convention here was told in the Eagle yesterday up to the time of the recess. It was then known that the reform delegation from Kings county had been ousted by the committee on credentials, along with Patrick J. Gleason's delegation from Queens county and the contesting representatives from Richmond and Wayne counties. Nothing remained, so far as that matter went, but the formal turning down of Mr.

Shepard, Mr. Patterson and their followers by the adoption of the committee's report when the convention reassembled In the afternoon. It was not until 3:30 that the convention resumed its work. Then the committee on permanent organization reported In favor of making Mr. Thacher permanent chairman and it was so done.

The report of the credentials committee followed and when it was adopted the Kings county reform delegation arose with a cheer and marched out of the hall. Their exit was accompanied by hisses from the delegates who remained in their seats. Senator H'lii tlien went to the stage to present the platform on behalf of the committee on creden tials. "I am Instructed by the committee," said he, "to present this report and to say that as tills convention is called for fine purpose of sending delegates to the national convention it la thought best not to treat of staite matters in this platform. Our declaration, therefore, to day is confined to a few na ttonal questions, which are paramount, and state issues are left to the next state convention, which will nominate a state ticket." The platform was as follows: The Platform.

"It would be folly to ignore and Impossible to exaggerate the gravity of the conditions under which this convention assembles. Most of the other states of the Union have selected and commissioned their delegates to the national Democratic convention. By a movement evidently concerted, but, as we believe, ill advised and ill considered, instructions have been given to the delegations of a large number of states having for their aim and purpose the adoption of a new policy and a new platform for the Democratic party. No opportunity for a fair and deliberate consideration of such policy and platform has been afforded the Democracy of the state of New Tork. Upon such new matter thus proposed to be Incorporated among the tenets of the party it becomes the duty of the Democrats of New Tork, representing their people to speak in no equivocal terms.

Gold and silver the money of the constitution and of our fathers each at parity with the other la purchasing power has been the platform of prlclples proclaimed by every national Democratic convention which has thus adopted and rea funned In each declaration of party faith for a century the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson, who said: 'The monetary unit must stand on both "The action of a Republican congress and a Republican President deprived silver of its equality with gold for the money and currency of the nation. From this act (for which the Democratic party waB In no wise responsible) and from the action of other nations following in the same course. It has resulted that sliver has greatly declined in commercial value, and there now exists, a wide departure of the two metals from the coinage standard of value, bringing disturbance to the financial systems of Europeancountries, as well as to our own, and awakening there, as here, the earnest apprehension of statesmen and financiers. "The restoration of the equilibrium of the two metals thus disturbed is a problem the solution of which is of the greatest consequence to the prosperity both of this country and of Europe, but is wholly beyond our power without the co operation of other nations. Such co operation, by the united efforts of statesmen and wage earners here and elsewhere, is believed to be near at hand and to be possible to secure by earnest and well directed effort.

"Free coinage of silver by the United States alone can have no other effect than to change our present standard to one of silver now a depreciated coin and to retard, perhaps destroy forever, the success of the movement now general throughout civilized countries for the restoration of free bimetallic coinage in the principal mints ot the world. The proposition to separate ourselves from the great nations of the world and adopt the monetary standard of Mexico and China does not comport with the pride and financial dignity of the state of New Tork or the United States. It should be resisted with the fervor of both partisanship and patriotism by Democrats everywhere, when the adoption of such a course threatens, as it does, untold evils to our nation's commerce and Industry. "For these reasons and with these convictions the Democrats of New Tork, in convention assembled, make the following declaration of their principles and appeal to the Democrats of other states to join with them In incorporating these principles in the party platform to be adopted at Chicago: "1. We are in favor of gold and silver as the standard money of the country.

We are opposed as a permanent financial policy to gold monometallism on the one hand or silver monometallism on the other hand. The pledge contained in the repeal of the Sherman law, which repealing act was passed by a Democratic congress and approved by a Democratic President, should be faithfully carried out, wherein It was declared that the efforts of the government should be steadily directed to the establishment of such a safe system of bimetallism as will maintain at all times the equal power of every dollar coined or issued by the United States In the markets and In the payment of We believe that such bimetallism, to which the nation is solemnly pledged, can only be safely secured and permanently maintained through the concurrent action of the leading nations of the world. Neither this country nor any other country, independent and alone, is able to maintain It, and it would be tolly to attempt it. "Being so convinced, we are opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver In the absence of the co operation ot other great nations. We declare our belief that any attempt upon the part of the United States alone to enter upon the experiment of free silver coinage would not only prove disastrous to our finances, but would retard or entirely prevent the establishment of International bimetallism.

Until International cooperation for bimetallism can be secured to which end all our efforts as a government and as a people should be in good faith directed we favor the rigid maintenance of the present gold standard as essential to the preservation of our national credit, the redemption of our public pledges and tha keeping Inviolate of our country's honor. We insist that all our paper and silver currency shall be kept absolutely at a parity with gold. "2. The Democratic party has ever been and still Is the hard money party, and It will preserve that record. It Is opposed to legal tenderpapermoneyas a part of our permanent financial system, and It refuses to sanction any paper currency Inconvertible with coin.

The United States notes and treasury notes, being in fact debts of the government, should bo gradually paid off, retired and cancelled. This should and must be done In such a manner as to cause no contraction of the circulating money of the country. So long as such paper currency exists, however, and is permitted to circulate as money, it should be redeemable at all times upon demand in the standard money of the country. "The Democratic party Is pledged to the resolute maintenance of the public credit at all times and undor all circumstances, and It 1b, therefore, opposed to the repeal of any existing statute which enables the secretary of the treasury, by the Issue ot bonds or otherwise provide adequate funds for the redemption In gold of our paper obligations whenever necessary. "3.

We reiterate our adherence to the principle of a tariff for revenue only. We are opposed to government partnership with protected monopolies and we demand that Import L.

WYCKOFF A second anniversary requiem mass will be celebrated ait the Church of the Guardian Angel, Coney Island, on Friday, June 9 A. in memory of the late Mrs. MARY A. WYCKOFF, Friend) an Invited, abuse of the power of taxation, to build up one man Business at the expense of another or to impose burdens upon one class of citizens for the benefit of other classes, and we Insist that 'no public taxation, except for public Is the true theory upon which our system of government is based, and upon which it should be honestly and impartially administered. Upon this principle of revenue reform the Democratic party takes no step backward.

"We Indorse the administration of President Cleveland, and particularly commend Mm for his determined efforts to maintain the financial credit of the United Statfes. "It Is hereby further resolved that the delegates to the national Democratic convention selected by this convention are (hereby itn ssructed to enter that convention as a unit, and to vote and act as a unit In accordance with the will of the majority thereof." There was frequent applause during the reacting of the platform amd after Its adopblon ex Governor Flower offered the following: Whereas. Party division at Chicago on the silver question will endanger Democratic success at the polls; and Whereas, Republican ascendency would undoubtedly be followed by another attempt to establish minority rule In the Democratic Southern states by means of a force bill: therefore, be It Resolved. That the Democrats of New York appeal to the Democrats of the South in the name of their political liberty and their properties to avert the possibility of a force bill by uniting with the Democrats nf the East and the West In framing a platform on which ail Democrats can stand and the united support of which will lead to a glorious Democratic victory. The resolution was unanimously adopted.

William Sulzer then offered a Cuban resolution, as follows: Resolved, That wa sympatRTze with the brave and heroic Cubans in their struggles to achieve their freedom and Independence and denounce and condemn the atrocities, the outrages and cruelties perpetrated by Spanish soldiers under the Spanish flag In the lstand of Cuba, A Kings county delegate offered as an amendment that the United States recognize the belligerency of Cuba and interfere to stop the war. The amendment was laid on the table, and the convention adopted Sulzers resolution without opposition. The convention then took up the election of delegates at large and district delegates to the national convention, with their alternates, and the following list of names from the committee on delegates was presented by James J.

Ridgway of Kings Intro duced a resolution that no delegates to a state convention should be considered regular who had been eleoted prior to the official call issued by the Democratic state committee. This was adopted. This resolution will necessitate the re eleotlon of delegates to the gubernatorial convention who have been elected in the counties of Steuben, Tates, Tioga, LlnvingBton, Schuyler, Dutchess and Tompkins.

In Steuben, Tioga, Livingston and Tompkins these delegates have been instructed to vote for John B. Stanchfield for governor. The county conventions at which these delegates were elected will have to be held over again. Mr. Ridgway said that his resolution was Introduced solely because he believed It to be a bod precedent to elect delegates for any convention prior to the call of the Democratic state committee.

Itvas on Senator Cantor's motion that the convention adjourned. HISTORIC FORT GREENE. A Petition to Give the Park Its Original Name. The following petition, on a subject of deep interest to Brooklyn people, to the mayor and aldermen of the city, explains Itself: Long Island Society, 1 Daughters of the Revolution, Brooklyn, June 15, 1896. To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Brooklyn: We, the officers of the Long Island Society, Daughters of the Revolution, In behalf of all Its members, together with the committee of the prison ship martyr's monument, respectfully petition your honorable body to restore the historic name of Fort Greene to the public park known as Washington park.

This fort was long known by the namft of the general (General Greene) who, for the defense of Brooklyn, during the war of independency, erected a line of fortifications from Wallabout bay on the north to Gowanus bay on the south. This spot is the only one of revolutionary association left to our city and while the present name Is dear to ail patriots, that of Fort Greene Is more closely associated with its history and Is more widely known throughout the country as the burial place ot our martyred fathers. In view of the monument soon to be erected to mark the tomb of the prison ship martyrs, which Is. near the site of the old fort, we earnestly bog your honors to grant this petition that past history and the future may be united in the name of Fort Greene park.
