THE HAMILTON. INSPECTION. THE BRIDGE. undertook for themselves tho engineering investigations of which the Board had yesterday the advantage. The very interesting debate of yesterday brought with it no conclusion, but inasmuch as this will give time for further information and discussion it is not, perhaps, to be at all regretted.

One result arrived at is not, how over, to be at all commended either for its Furilaer Precautions for tlac Public Safety. Forty seventh Anniversary of the Literary Assoqiation. FilWAT EVENING. JANl'ARr 12. ISJ7.

Monthly Meeting of the Trustees. Vnpor tans tlte Linrsrest Clrcula any Evening Paper Published United states. Its value as an is In Medium is inerefore ap i policy or fairness. It was in re opening bids the Senatorship. His main Democratic competitor is Mr.

John McPherson, a leading manufacturer of Jersey City. Either man would make an honorable and trustworthy Senator. Judge Green would make a decidedly able one. He was in law practice in New York some years ago, and was the senior of the then eminent firm of Green Alexander. Judge Green ib brother to the late Chancellor Green, of Trenton, and uncle of Rev.

W. Henry Green, D. of the Theological Seminary, at Princeton, while Mr. Henry M. Alexander was a son of the late Archibald Alexander, D.

LL. founder of that great Seminary. The Republican candidates for Senator are the now infamous George M. Robeson, T. Frelinghuysen, the present Senator, and ex Congressman Halsey, of Newark, a leather faotor.

Mr. Green's election is entirely probable. ing his wares to all markets have disillusionized all the moderate and thoughtful Republicans of any regard which they once had for the Buffalo Bill qualities in him. He has secured a caucus renomination, this time, by arts which are rated discreditable by every Conscience Republican in Illinois. If his end has oome, the beginning of a better era in Illinois politics has come with it Tlio Kldarowood Benervoir and Other Public Improvenienti.

Mayor Schroeder favors an enlargement of the distributing reservoir at Ridgewood, not bo much because he thinks the enlargement an actual necessity as because, if undertaken, it will afford employment for men who are at present out of work. For the same reason he favors the making of other public improvements. His annual message contained tho following reference to this subject Under ordinary coTcumatanceB no ono would be mora opposed than myself to inaugurating Improvements by public authority, for tha avowed purpoaa ot relieving the laboring classes. 1aboriDg man should be taught to look to Government for labor as a right. But If tbe hardships of the times should continue I thlnx wa wilt ba compelled to resort to extraordinary measures to help those who are willing to work by means other than thoso of common charity.

Should the early Spring fail to bring relief In the form of work through private channels wa must either indues the unemployed to leaTe the city and pay their expenses to go Wost or South, where their labor may bo wanted, or we must anpport them here with or without worB. To meat this last alternative, should it occur, I Kould raoommend. first, that the Ridgewood Boservoir bo enlarged within an appropriation of flOD.OOO, and that It be done by day's. labor, fixing a low prico of wages, so that tho greatest number possible may bo relieved, and second, that wa apply to the Legislature for authority to mako those local improvements now urged upon the city by proporty ownors, otnnmiH V.V tl)A UOOn OUT the matter ta alt Us bearings with tho understanding that final action was to be laid over until nother meeting. MATOB ELY therefore withdrew his motion.

Mr. Marshall said that in 1809 ho held an Informal talk with tho elder Roeblfng in Mr. Murphy'a offlos when the strength required for the oablea were discussed and tho amount of strain to be put upon them talked over. Mr. Roebling afthit time said that he considered a teating strain ol from 70,000 to 80,000 pounds per square inoh sufficient.

Now thoy have a standard of 160,000. He was not prepared to vote them for the awarding of the bids, but ho thought a fast that garo 50 per oent. more strength than was needed, was amply suiBolont: The thing they had to do was to remove all doubt and eeoure a substantial arllole. If the loweat bidder would Dot come up to the standard then go to the next best, in tho present condition of the manufacture he did not believe that only one kind of steel oonld bo used. If one does not ooma up to the test then throw it overboard and take tho next.

Mr. Kinsella said ho thought that no undue weight should be attached to the informal conversation with the elder Mr. Roebling. Ho, Mr. differed from Mr.

Marshall. Ho did not think the lowoet priced steol would be the cheapest It was the duty of the Trustees to do for the Bridge as they would do for themaolves. They must get tho best steel for tho least money. Be was not interested in any espaoial kind, aud had only some Interest and pride in bis own city, and a natural wish that tho contract might oome there. He had not oommltted himsolf to any particular kind of steel, but he was in favor of using eruciblo Bteel, behoving it to be the bost, and he should vote that cruoible eteel should ba used and no other.

Mr. Murphy then read a number of extracts from tho reports of tho proceedings of civil engineers In this country and Europe, which went to show the great superiority of eteel made by the Bessemer process over that manufactured in other ways. Mr. Aspinwall said that year and a half asjo the Chief Engineer would not have ventured to allow Bessemer steol to bo spoken of for the cable wiro. It was owing to recent improvements whioh are olaimed to have greatly improved the quality of this kind of steal, that ic was now allowed to ootno in.

Mr. Kinsolla aaid the report of tho Chief Engineor placed tho burden of accepting the lower grade of stoel on the Trusteos. Ho then read a portion of tho report in relation to tho matter as follows At the tlmo the cable wiro specifications wero writ ton, I supposod, in common with other engineers, in fact it was iu accordance ail tho teats I had made up to that timo, that Opan Hoarth or Bessemer stool could uot bo made to oome up to the standard required. "The whole specifications were written'ln accordance with vheae views. Bessemer and ooon hearth steels illuminated at night.

It is recommended tbat thoy bo changed to open outward. The outside doors are throe in numbor, each seven feet wido, opining inward. Tho architects roconunond that ibov also be changed to swing tho for Bessemer steel wire. The Roebling bid is well known to all tho world. offer to supply Bessemer steel wire, coming up to the specified requirements, at six and seven eighths oonts per pound.

Thoir bid being known now, nc manufacturer will be fool enough not to biu a mere fraction lower, if he bids Bt ail It may be said that the Rooblings may make new bid, and a lower one if they desire, but in tho contingency of standing by their preaent bid, or putting in another, they will be placed at a disadvantage. The judgmont of the Board evidently inolines to tho uBe of eruciblo steel as the safost. If they will secure the bost kind of steel at the cheapest price possible, they will, in our judgment, fulfill public expootation, while under the bids now before them, they will at the same time free their ohief engineer from the embarrassment of passing upon material furnished by his relatives an embarrassment, no doubt, not of his own creating, and of which he will, we assume, be glad to be relieved.

The monthly meeting of the Trustees of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge was held yesterday afternoon, pursuant to adjournment, at the office of the Company on Water street, near Fulton Ferry. The mooting was the largest ever held in the history of the Board. Out of tho twenty men that oompose tho Board, nineteen wore preaent, the only absentee being Hon.

from the interest taken in Brooklyn erything in relation to the East River enterprise, the discussion by the Trustees, yesterday, of the question of the most desirable kind of wire to use in the making of the great oablea, has an interest and curiosity special to itself. There are a great many questions conoorning steel, the process of its manufacture, its strength and flexibility, and tho modes of testing those points, which are still at issue among experts, and the profession as well as the public will be curious, therefore, to see how mon, very few of whom make any claim to be experts, understand tho points in dispute. For the past two weeks an interesting controversy has been going on in the newspapers between engineers which well illustrates tho differences of opinion which prevail in the profession respecting not only the merits of the various steals in use, bat as to the proper scientific formulra for testing thoir desirability. Leaving these teohnical questions aside it will not be difficult to state the main points at issue between tho trustees. It is, we suppose, admitted on all hands that tha cables which are to sustain the Bridge structure ar6 the moat important features of this groat undertaking.

These failing, all fails. It so happens, too, that the cables must succeed absolutely or faii absolutely that is, the oables being in thoir places, anil one of them being found to be imperfect, the whole Bridge struoture would need to bo takon down. A defective portion of a wire cable, such as is here contemplated, cannot be replaced, aB would bo the oase if what is technically kuown as a chain cable had beon used. In the manufacture of tho cables seven million pounds of wire, in round numbers, will be required. The trustees advertised for bids for steel wire, making no condition as to the kind of steel which should bo used in making the wire, except as it was involved in certain tests of strength, flexibility, which all the wire furnished was required to stand.

Bids were received from leading wire manufacturers, both in this country and in Europe, and the difference in the prices fairly illustrate the wide difference that is supposed to exist as between tho different kinds ot steel. An English bidder, whose wire is admitted to have been superior to any offered assuming that it was fairly represented by the sample tested demanded as high as thirteen cents per pound in gold, which would bring the aggregate cost of the wire needed up to about a million dollars. Ou the other hand, the Messrs. Iioeb lmg offered to supply Bessemer steel wire at less than seven cents per pound, making the 'aggregate cost of the wires under this bid but little, if anything, in excess of half a million dollars. While tho Bessemer steel wire did not stand the tats made by tho engineers quite as well as tho English wire referred to, tho engineers report that it meets their requirements.

Between these two extreme bids, there are a number of other bids embracing different kinds of steel. An Ohio manufacturer, for instance, offers to supply Open Hearth steel at leas than eight cents per pound, while one Brooklyn manufacturer offers to supply crucible building will bo sufficient for auy emergency In tho basement of St. Paul's Churoh is tho paro wero carefully excluded, and only crucible cast steel culled for, and tho specifications wero so submitted to thoTrueteo3. After duo disamsion in their Board it was decided to enlarao the hold of competition by ro colvim; bids from all kinJs of Btool wiro inafcara. and not limit them to orualbb cast steel.

Iu this aliapo too wera put before tho public." Mr. Kinsella said that never witalo his knuviod je i had too Trustees taken tho responsibility of clv.vngfng the engineer's specifications so as to itdnnt coiupstitiou with low grado steols. Mr. Marshall saw it had bjan dona, and on tho suggestion mainly of Mr. liowttt, who was especially woll informed ou the subjeot.

Mr. KiuBelU said ho had no racolloctiou of any such and If it took plaeo it mu.it havo boon bo fore tho Exaoutiva Com.uittco. and not in tho full Board. Mr. Marshall thought perhaps it was before the Committee.

ifr. Kinsolla Than only the membor.i of that Coru mltteo ooulil bo supposed kuow anything about it. Mr. Siranahan explained that tho diftlomty arose in determining tho question whither the Siemans Martln or Open Hearlii process wa or was not a eruciblo stool. It was finally decided uot to insert the term "crucible." Mr.

Kinsolla was surprise.) to hoar that any difficulty had arisen on such a point, for ha beltovod it was admitted on all bauds that Siora ins Martin or Open Hearth steel was not crucible stoel. Crucible steel was mauufactured in cruoiUlca, in emill quantities at a time. By Iho Siomaua Martin or Opan Hearth procoss tons of stool are made at a time. Ida supposad whoa low grade stools wero referrod to, Bessemer and Opon Hearth wore always meant and their grade ia in tho order I have named, Opon Hoarth perhaps botag a medium grade and uetwuen B03semor and Mr. Strauaban Do yon call chrome stool a ci steol? Mr.

Kinsella Why, certainly It is manufactv. od In orueihles, and in small quantities at a time. Mr. Murshall said it was by tho actiou of Mr. Hewitt that the word "ernolble stool" was striokon frirs tha spouilications, and the Bessemer and Sienian i Mdrtin stee: wires admitted into tho competition.

Mr. Hewitt was something of an export and ought to know something about ltteel. Colonel Carroll said that if tlie96 lowor grades were so giod, he thought tho otaor blddora who had ouly bid on crucibio stoel outfit to be allowed to coma in and bid on tbe lower grades. Mr. KinBolla cited tho caso of the 8t.

Louis BridRo, where tbo anchor bolts were first mado of Opan Hoarth Btoel, and they were obliuod to throw them to one. tide aniltake a ohroma steel at a considerable loss of time and expense. The agent of tho Cleveland Boiling Mills Company, who wore ono of the bidders, was present, and was asked by Mr. Murphy why thoy put in a sample of Rl.mnm wlnpl. chial school.

Turnure moved that tha Hoard go into executive and they will find that there is no more doubt that Florida went for Tildon than that Kings County went for him. Both parties ought to do what is fair about Florida. That would settle the Presidency case of itself and remove politics, passion and interest out of the entire subject. That subject could then be settled right and therefore settled permanently. Our own view is that when two certificates equal in form and antocedentally backed by almost equal evidence come up from a Stato, two doors at the rear.

The evidonoe of Police Superintendent Richards, of Washington City, yesterday, before the House Examining Committee, is awful. It should make every American hnng his head in shame. Tho Superintendent swears to this state of facts Last Winter Chairman Whittlioruo, of the House Naval Committee, was investigating tho affairs of the Nuyy Department. All the world now knows that that investigation roaehed and disclosed vast aud various corruptions, and that they involved George M. Bobeson, Secretary of the Navy, in the same way in which Belknap was involved in tho War Department, only with this difference, that, unlike Belknap, Robeson did not confess, but that his bank accounts confessed, his contractors confessed, his partners confessed and his co dividers confessed.

Before Mr. Whitthorne made his report, the facts it would show were of course known to tho guilty parties. At this tho Presidout of the Bom of Police, William J. Murtah editor and owner of the National Republican, he a bosom crony of Grant and Robeson, and tho paper the organ" of both, told Superintendent Richards to trace Mr. Whitthorne to or inveigle him into a house of ill fame, and then as soon as he was caged there, to raid that house, arrest all the inmates, especially Whitthorne, and then notify him (Murtagh) to send the reporters out to write up the job and sensationally to expose and degrade Whitthorue in the press, eo as to anticipate and neutralize his coming report against Robeson.

It was further testified that Murtagh pressed this job on Richards and Detectives Miller and McDevitt for months, and stipulated from himself and Robeson any amount of money needed to make the job a success. Confirmatory of this ib the evidence of the detectives and of the Corporation Counsel of Washington, W. A. Cook, and of Mr. Whitthorne to whom the scheme was exhibited at the time.

There is no need to characterize a thing like this. It is ossentinlly and totally infamous. Mr. Whitthorne was not deflected a hair's line from his duty and the scheme not only failed, but its disclosure puts those who devised it into a pillory wido as the world and pelts them with the disgust and contempt of all mankind.

The tor traits aro vory faithful ones, and excited tha admiration of all present. beoauso tho enlargement is needed and this is a good time to make it. The present reservoir, when filled, holds enough water to supply the city for five days.

If the pumping engines wore to become so disordered as to require more than five days for repairs, Brooklyn would be without water. This, in our judgmont, is too narrow a margin for a great city. To a community that has never known the calamity which a water fainino constitutes, a five days' surplus may seom amplo enough; but no people who have had to endure the pains of uuassuaged thirst, would, we venture to say, deem this adequate soeurity, if greater were possible. It must also be remembered that there have been times within recent years when the quantity of water in the Ridgewood Reservoir was reduced to less than a two days' Moreover, our increasing population by increasing the daily consumption of wator is steadily diminishing the relative 'capacity of the present structure. For $200,000, as Mayor Schroeder states, the capacity of the Reservoir might be doubled.

We do not believe that amount of money could be spent to better advantage than in the direction hero indicated. Commissioner Fowler, we is of opinion that the most pressing need is to have tho Storage Reservoir at Hempstead completed. In this opinion we do not concur. We think the Hempstead work should be completed without unnecessary delay, but at present the city has to fear at Hempstead than at Ridgewood. In the Mayor's recommendation as to how the work Bhould be done namely, by employing men by the day, at a low rate of wages we do not concur.

Wo believe that what is best for tho city upon the whole, will prove best, as a rule, for all its citizens, without regard to their respective occupations or conditions. If tho city can get the reservoir enlarged for less than $200,000, it would be an injustice to the taxpayers not to take advantage of the lower figures. After having determined that an improvement is required, the city authorities have no other duty to perform, in this connection, than to get it done in a proper manner at the lowest possible price. We have never looked with favor upon the policy whioh obtains for officials a reputation for charity by permitting them to thrust their hands into the public treasury. Moreover, it is not necessary for the city to etairs from each room aro flvo feot wide.

Woodford's nomination, at the outset, will give public satisfaction, and if he surrounds himsolf with associates, in whose abilities aud integrity the bar and the commercial classes have confidence and we doubt not ho will seek to do so their discharge of the duties of his office will gradually win popular confidence and approbation. The political significance of th appointment however is its main significance. It means that with Woodford in Bliss' shoes and Cornell soon to go into Laflin's, Roscoe Conkling has already begun to run for the Presidency in 1880, and relies upon a solid "management" in Now York and Kings County. As that is a Republican rather than a public question, the effect of the strategy upon that party will be an interesting thing to observe. Mr.

Why was it not rolumeai Mr Mnrnhv oiDlalnod that although that thrown be used, it being clearly the duty ot the irus iees to have the Bridge cost the BmaUcsl amount of money possible, compatible with its success. The party entertaining these views in the Board are sustained by the high authority of the Chief Engineer on the work, who holds that Bessemer steel wire can be made so that it will do, contrary, however, to a very general opinion until very recently entertained. On tha other hand, it is held that the Trustees cannot afford to use what is claimed to be the lowest grade of steel, a steel excluded from competition a yenr ago by the Chief Engineer himself, iu making a contract for the wire required for use in the temporary bridge structure. On this side it is also urged that the cables ore the all important parts of the structure that in ft work on whose durability and indestructibility so much risk in property and life may bo staked, tho difference between tho cost of the best kind of wire aud the poorest is not to be held of primal importance is hardly, indood, to be taken into consideration. The extreme prices vary less in the aggregate thanhalf a million dollars.

The total estimated cost of the Bridge is thirteen millions.

The general opinion we think will be that the argument on both sides is protty closely balanced. It would incline altogether to the side of the advocates of the cheapest steel, through the adherence to that side of the engiueer in charge of the work, if it were not for another complication greatly to be regretted, which has thrown a responsibility on the individual members of tho Board of Trustees, that they should not have been called upon to meet. They did, indeed, try to protect themselves nguiust it, but they have not succeeded. It so happens that the Bessemer steel wire bid comes from tho wire manufacturing firm of Messrs. Roebliug's Sons, of Trenton, New Jersey.

Tho Chief Engineer of the Bridge is the most distinguished son of the late Mr. Roebling. The Chief Engineor was a momber of the Trenton firm, and it was well known the firm would be bidders for wire indeed they were bidders under the specifications for the wire which now spans the river.
