In the latter part of last November, which wiui iitdden in an old trunk in the store room Mrs. Brooks' house, was stolen and tho torch aplied to some inflammable matter In the room.

The flames were goten under control and It was then discovered that the money had been stolen. Mrs. Brooks kept tho secret to herself until a few days ago. Before that she had never thought for a moment that her trusted servant, who had been with her for thirteen years, would bf guilty of such a conspiracy, if a conspiracy really existed. On January 1 Hester left Mrs.

Brooks, saying she was going to Florida. Mrs. Ilrouks subsequently learned that Mrs. Pitt had not gone to Florida, but was liing with her husband near Havre de Grace. Md.

(Copyright, by the Associated Press.) Berlin.

March It! The revision of the German American extradition treaty is now under way. The terms of the existing treaty, in some respects, are not satisfactory to either government, it is the uuostiun of the costs involved in extradition imjeeedimrs which Is the main objection on tho American side, since tho great majority of tho extradi tion proceedings occur in America, in the pro portion of about lOu to that thf Amer icau government, with each defraying uo expenses of the within its respective sphere, bears a deal more than Its proper share. Consequently, in lSl'l, the American government iade advance's tu Germany with the view of modifying the treaty provisions in this and in jther re spects. incluring the right uf each govern ment to try extradited persons solelv on the specinc ciiarge under which their extradi t. on was demanded.

Emperor William presides dailv at the ses itions of the state council, which last from o'clock In iho morning until 1 o'clock In the afternoon, aud from a o'clock in the afternoon to 7 o'clock In the evening. His luajestv has proved himself an excellent chairman, ruling debate with a firm hand and at the same time allowing full discussion. The grain monopoiy proposals of Count von the agrarian loader, have been virtually hpved by the state council and the agrarians.

In reply, have Introduced Count von Kanitz's bill, signed by members, into the roichstaar. This number. It should be added about represents the total strength of the members of the reiohstag who are in favor of the bill, so that there is no possible chance of Its adoption. Consequently. American grain will net.

bo excluded from Germany for tho present. The prohibition of the import of American cattle was also dismissed on Wednesday bv the state council, and it was decided not to recommend any new measures in this re spec. The state council yesterday discussed the currency question and adopted a resolution noting with satisfaction Prince Hnh.nl"hc'.s in the reichstac, on February 15, In regard to the proposed international monetary conference, and expressing the opinion that in view of this statement no further measures should be taken at the present time, but that the result of the steps already contemplated should be awaited. The statement of the chancellor, Prince henlohe, in the reichstag on February IT, regarding the proposed International monetary conference, was as follows: "Without prejudicing our Imperial curreiicv. one must confess that the differences in the value of goid ami silver continue to rean upon our commercial life.

Following, therefore, the tendencies which led to the appointment of a silver commission, i am ready to consider in con Junction with the federal governments, whether wo cannot enter upon a friendly ir.tor chango of opinion as to common remedial measures with the other states which are chiefly Interested in maintaining the value of silver." The state council to day considered th proposed measures for reducing the cost of farming and for reducing the duties on agricultural produce. According to general reports Emperor Will during the sessions of the state council has repeatedly shown displeasure at the extreme demands of Count von Kaultz. In tills connection the Hamburgisclie Correspondent says that his majesty, at Wednesday's meeting of the state council, replying to a remark of Count von Kanitz. said that If the members oi uie ii continued to nr.og bis personal Loeo oeuaies would oe Impossible for aim to continue presiding at their meetings. The Hamburger Nachrichteii also declares that upon one occasion, when Count von Kanitz wa.

addressing his remarks to the emperor, the latter Intervened and requested the count to address the ministers and not him. Apropos of the state council Dr. Stoecker's has published the following anecdote: When Prince iiisumrek was appointed a member of the state council in 1R54. he wrote to Vim Goriach as follows: wife, ask.d me what the suite council was. and 1 answered, the quintessence of all stupidity ami wickedness comprised in the word privv You see I do not indulge In illusions respecting the value of that, body." The appointment Count William Bismarck, second son of the cx fhancidlor, as civil governor of Fast Prussia, in succeisi, to vol) Hlollv i' W'emlgerode.

came as a surprise to the political world. Count William is well acquainted with Konigsberir, the seat of the of Fast Prussia," as h. prepared thcr s. bv the chief of tho colonial department. As a student.

Count William had much tho same merry time as his father am! was nearly killed in a duel at Bonn.

(Special to the Eagle.) Roslyn, L. March 16 The town board ot North Hempstead, at its meeting Tuesday, will probably be asked to take some action in regard to the proposed girt of a tower and clock to the village of Hoslyn by the heirs of the late Mrs. Ellen Ward.

Tho heirs have, through the Rev. Dr. Alexander Mackay Smith. son in law of Mrs. Ward, offered to erect a stone tower to cost and equip It with a handsome clock and chimes, provided the authorities will deed a certain piece of land in the public square, for a site ar.d also give legal agreement that the tower and will be kept In proper repair.

The village is now incorporated and therefore any official action will have to be taken by the town authorities. The intended donors will not accept Such assurances as can be given by un association of citizens for the reason that experience has shown that when the original movers in such societies either die or move away, the public Interest becomes lax. They do not feel Justified in expending such a large sum on a memorial to have It neglected and reflect discredit upon the donors after the lapse of a dozen years or so. Considerable Interest, is being taken in the matter, and every effort will be made to effect a satisfactory agreement. LONG ISLAND PRESBYTERY And the Work to Be Done at the April Meeting.

IT IS THE WORK OF RIVALS. Th Resolutions Became a Law With out the Approval of Mayor Schieren. Did His Hono Forget to Interpos a Veto A Bill to Enable the City to Acquire the Gravessnd Water Works. Mayor Schieren has all to become a law without his sigantiire th resolutions adopted by the board of aldermen oi. ho 4th providing fnr an Investim in a Keial ciiu initio" of the Xe.v Yori; and New Jersey Tole phone company.

Alderman Introduced the resolutions, and hind him stands tha the New Vork and Ka.M. rn Telegraph and Telephone company, eti'orts to obtain a. franchise and to obtain rmtt. to open th streets havo been resisted by the mayor and the subway v. Attacked to tl." resolutions was a preaml reciting that, the York and New Jersey company had net earnings In ISf.

amounting to lJU that it had received during the year from The City of Brooklyn upward of for Tolopiicne service, and that It. had never received permission from the common council to occupy tho streets. The special committee, which consists of Aldermen Walsh, i.elch. Vol liner. Dunne and v.as "inwCt fa, by what t.uti'.tiritv tie.

company i using the public sire. cpy In the conduct of it.s business nm! what steps are necessary to be taken to secure to tie city a revenue for these valuable privileges for which they j.p pear to have a sole monopoly." Tile committe" was m', ,1 employ counsel if necessary and wli. vcr legislation it might necs. iarv a revenue to the cit. al:" ordered that pending the invest: ion the city works commissioner ami the sub commissioners should Issue no permits to 'he for the extension of its litcs.

Th only aldermen who voted against the resolution was Mr. Gary. Some of the iM, i evidently expected a veto, for were hanging about the city clerk's office yesterday afternoon and anxiously inquiring as to whether or not the mayor had been heard from. When the ot'lce was closed and no word had Icon received from Mr. Schieren they appeared much fellevi and left the hall.

It was stigg sicd that possibly the mayor had overlooked the matter. At all events the resolutions became a law yesterday afternoon, while his honor was on his way to Philadelphia, where he was to ditto with tho Five o'clock club and Mayor elect Warwick. It Is doubtful If the New York and New Jersey Telephone company will recognize tha cnmniltt.ee. The right of the company tn do business in Brooklyn has been established and Is not questioned by outside of the uldermanic electricians utid their controllers In Iho new company. The tendency of the resolution directing the withholding of permits pending the Investigation would to tie to obstruct the old company; it would actually 1 if the board had any jurisdiction in that matter" Tho fact, however, is that the aldermen have about as much to do with the subway commission as they have with the affairs of the mikado and they know it.

too. The subway commissioners have sized up the New York and Fastern company as a corporation without authority to do business here and. have gone to the court of appeals on the question, feeling confident that they will be sustained. The attention of Corporation. Counsel McDonald was yesterday afternoon called to the resolutions.

Ho said he hud not beer, spoken to about them by the mayor. He kn. iittie concerning the matter ami appeared to euro absolutely nothing, despite the Loot that authority was given to the committee to employ outside counsel. Mr. McDonald is the legal adviser of the board of aldermen.

A MASS MEETING OF EAYMEK Some Good features, "but Iffany Bad Ones A Committee to Go to B.eorg anizrttion. of the Democratic Party in Queens County Additional Landfor a New Town Hall The jSTew Education Law Violated. (Special to the Eagle.) Sayville.

L. March 16 That tlm baymen of the south side of I.or.s Island are opposed to the Chllds bill relative to the oyster Industry in certain counties, was manifested at a mas3 meeting to night of over 500 baymen and oystermen. who make their living on the South bay. and who will be affected by the bill. Tho meeting was presided over by Isaac C.

Skinner, president of the Islip Union Oyster Planters' association. County Judse Wil mot M. Smith wrote that the bill was a menace to the oyster industry and should be killed. In the committee room Assemblyman HIgbie wrote that he found no one from tho affected district in favor of the bill and expected the bill would not pass. One speaker said it was monstrous and they would like to rncet the man who proposed the bill.

Edward Westcrbeke, one of the large planters, moved the following resolution: "That the Vnlon Oyster Planters' association of the town of Islip representing tho entire oyster industry of Islip town, are opposed to the bill in its entirety and that it should not pass or Suffolk county be excluded from the provisions of the bill." Tho meeting voted'to employ Judge Wilmot M. Smith of I'atchogue as counsel and to send representatives to Albany to moot tho committee on Wednesday next. The bill has been a topic of convers.it ion along tho south side since it was made public. All classes of citizens are interested. The bill has some good features, but some of its sections are subject to much ridicule The men say that the section that calls for an allldavit from each applicant tor ground that it contains no natural growth Is preposterotis.

It is. said that there Is hardly a foot of ground not covered with natural growth. The bill further provides that the buard of supervisors shall have a survey ar.d map made of all public land under tide water. This would a useless expense of several thousands of dollars. The leading feature of the bill and one which meets with much favor among the oystermen.

especially the members of the Union association, is that which prohibits dredging. This is much in favor of the poor baymen, who have heretofore been able to own but a lev; acres of oyster ground and could not compete with the large corporations. The corporations do not look with favor upon this provision, as thoy have expended thousands of dollars in modern machinery for dredging. The large planters, therefore, are opposed to the dredging clause, as it is apparent it takes from them a monopoly which is gradually becoming oppressive to the majority. They say their rights must be respected.

Tho six acre allotment appeals to the sympathy of the poor baymen and will be urged in the form of another bill. The compulsory planting is another goou clause. It has heretofore been cus tomary for the large planters to hire ground and fail to plant thereon, a feature which was sain prevented the poorer baymen from leas ing the ground. Over $000,000 of capital and material in the waters of Islip town will be seriously affected if the Chllds bill nasses. The town of Brookhaven will not be.

affected by the bill, as the waters in the South bay are owned Jointly by the town and the Smith heirs. Heing prjvato waters, they do not come under the Childs bill. The town of Islip Turnlsnes the greater majority of the celebrated Blue Point oysters. Thousands of barrels are shipped annually to Europe. Among the large planters present were Jacob Ockers, Westerbeke Brothers.

Vanderbergh Brothers unarles E. Mills. Charles Mills, Selah Clock, Henry Brown. Beebe Brothers, and H. L.

Hazen. The offcers of the Tsllrj Union Oyster Planters' association v. ho father tho opposition to the Childs bill are President Isaac C. Skinner, Vice President Jacob Ockers and Edward Brown, Secretary Daniel Gillette, Trustees Frederick Ockers. Andrew Skinner, Edward Westerbecke! Samuel Hicks andCorneiius Beebe.

John S. Derenier, William B. Dooley. The Seventh, Ninth, Tenth and Twelfth districts have yet to hold their meetings. The Democratic leaders propose to work this spring and will head their town ticket with Justice Lester, whom they hope to prevail upon to accept renomina tion.

The Justice is very popular in the town. In the election, it is expected the principal contest will be over the commissioner of excise. William J. Broedel of Woocihaven is the most prominent candidate for Commissioner Baumann's place and will probably get it. The Republicans and prohibitionists are expected to combine on a man who will show but little favor to the saloon element.

Both parties are getting ready for a hot fight and the battle will be fought on party lines almost entirely. The Good Government club, a recent organization in the village of Jamaica, will undoubtedly be a strong element in tho election, if it doc not place a ticket of its own in the field. The primaries and town conventions will be held within the next ten days. The biil of F. H.

Van Vechten, the counsel for the town of Jamaica in the condemnation proceedings for additional land for town hall purposes, was audited by the town board of Jamaica in the sum of The hill was audited on tho ruction of Justice George Lester, who is recognized as one of the most careful advocates of economy in the town government. Some criticism of tho bill has been made, however, and the town board roundly denounced for passing what some believed was an exorbitant claim. The objectors are principally Republicans, who hope to make po littca.1 capital out ot what they are pleased to term tho extravagant methods of the Democratic board. The latter feel Justified, however, in view of the work done by Counselor I Van Vechten preliminary to the hearing he I fore the commissioners. This included the preparation of a bill authorizing the procr dd ings, by which all opposition in the supreme court is prevented.

Had it. not )r this preliminary action the matter would not have 1 been settled for months. MUST OBEY THE LAW. A Conviction of Violating the Compulsory Educational Lav7. (Special to the Eagle.) Port Washington.
