Mr. allanen thea offered as a aubaUtut for tba Thurber resolution the following: Whtrtmt.

Another bill ha been prreented ta the Irtlatare to allow such extension to be made wlih the riupty, though plausible, provtolna that tbey shall be niade soblect to the approval of the heptd rrkO.lt Commlaeionere and tbe Department of Public i'arka, ana to auoh rental ae tbe Making Fund Commissioner of this city may require; there-lore, ttfolvtd, That, In tbe Judgment of this board, tbe proposed change would act appreciably benefit any public Interest, and It would not mcroee the useful, neae of our prosent aystem of rapid trauslL Jttirtted, Tbxl while welcoming any compreben. tve n-w syitsm of rapid transit, which will add to tks laoiutiea ao gToauy neeaen oy uaouim oi New-York, we do not believe that tbe present attempt insria by the preeent elevated railroads would tend to tne preeeni eievaieu raiiruaus wuuiu Mna lunteaM tbulr eltlulenuy, but would simply furnish ailrtiUiAial fai llltlna for the storano of car, which to olllUee siiould provided lr said road nly upon preperty parchased or leased by tbrnni butooneof our public parks should be made a storags place for surh cora.

and tbey shoald be eomv Mllnd to remove the rare to tbe necessary property or place for such etoraga which tbey can easily afford to provide. Mr. Barrett and Mr. Seaman followed Mr. Callanan In strong terma against the grab.

Mr. Thurber'a friend then booame impatient to vote. He bad kept tbam there nearly two hour, and they wanted to try their ehanoe of getting borne before morning on the elevated line. A vote on tbe anbatltut having been ordered, they rallied to Mr. Tburber" aupport and oast elgia aolld votea agalnat it The other five atood by tbe substitute.

Potter own 71 Broadway, where the elevated office are loon ted. probably at a good rental. If be want to give anything away to hla tenant, that property would ao donbt bo appreciated, and It would aerva tho purpose of rapid traaalt quit aa tnnoh aa ean the Battery. Aay doubte that Mr. Potter may have on thla soore ean be cleared up If Mr.

Potter will consult Julian T. imvlee, the Manhattan roed'e counsel, who eald at Albany Tueeday that the elevated road asked for aotblng at tho Battery.

BATTERY DAILY U8E8. LIV1VO AROCXIXTS TO SHOW WHT TUB OBAB SHOULD VAIL. It la a pity thatjbe Albany lawmaker eannot go down to Battery Park one of these bright day. They would find there a living argument and protest agalnat the grab bill which ia not only conclusive and unanawerablo, but which would touch whatever of conscience tho Qould lobby may not have amothered. Except where the Iron snake ha left Ita blight tb park ia in it Spring glory.

There were no vac nut benches there yesterday. Children romped in the central plaza and along tbe broad walks, and men and women thronged the outer area watching the wave aplaahlng agalnat the aee wall and at play In the aunllght mid stream. The spread of lawn between the walk to bright with young graes, aad the tree and bushes are turning from gray to groan with budding leaves. It ts a very moderate estimate to aay that at no time yesterday were lee than 1.000 person at the park enjoying its remaining oeautie. At times the aumoer mast have been double that.

Tbey ware not rtehlr-dreaaed people. Many of them, from dhelr drea aad beating, abowed that tny lived in tn acighDornooa. atomer bad oome out to gtv tbelr children a chance to play in tne only place down town wuere tae air la alwaya pure. Elderly men and women were thara te nl the rest and nleaaura that are beet enjoyed whea nature renew bar youth. All kind and conditions were there, and all seemed equally happy in Mill having a spot that the common people might enjoy.

The only part or uie para not aenaeiy occupied aa along the trail ef tbe elevated read. And no wonder, for tber the soli waa black with aoot and drippings of oil. under which no grass oonld sprout; th trees were etnnted and without sign of awakening from their Winter eleep, the benches and walk ware coated with thick layer of dust, aad th smells of a oar yard polluted the air. It the lawmakers could have aeon tbe Battery, and were not berond a common feeling of hu manity, they would have felt like wiping ont tho blemish that dtanguree Battery Park rather than like going back to Albany to listen to Gould's loooy. i ney wouiu nave ooen aiao was too pian that they are aaked to examine at Albany la a fraud and deception; that It la willfully mlalead-lag la that it ptatenda that with two extra tract the Battery will be lac am be red with but four tracks.

They would have eeea throe track already. The vtoitore to tba park would also appeal to tho lawmaker aa persons for whom ao lobby la ever hired. Wltbout-vhs Battery tber would nave no piece to go tow They eould not afford a dally outing exeopt at sores place within easy walking distance of thetr homee.

Tbe Park Commlstoar ought also to visit the Battery. If they have doubted their daty to rid the Battery at tae elevated atoanee.

An article ibUahed la The Time of April 10, entitled.

Dt 11 Pry Good contained the ctetementjthat merchants were complaining of a worse cor litlon of trade in all branches of the dry goods line than had been known in the same Ave wee is since I860. Referring to this atatement, a pi eminent New-York mere bant aald yesterday: The reaso i that trade i worse now than before for tb rty year la traceable to nothing more nor lem than the McKlnley bill. Now, that may not i ecm apparent on tho surface, bat I will tell you sow It to. When the agitation for the eneotmeu of a Tariff blllbegaa early last year, merehan a In thla country accepted it aa a foregone cone luaios that tho bill would pas, and theyexpoted that there would be an Increase In the duties on Import of most line of dry goods. Everybody tn tbe trade either went, or sent abroad and grabbed up everything they could find In be foreign market tight and left I myself was abroad at the time, and for our firm bought ore goods than I ever did before in a eeason.

tvery available article of firsts, second, or third. It uiatlered not what, waa snapped up tbe foreigner brere completely cleaned out Tola volume of merobandloe, enough for a six months' supply, waa poured Into America In advance of the application of the McKlnley bllL "la Germany, England, and Franoe, where the commercial connections are well established, blank credits Were freely offered and as freely used. When the goods arrived tbey were at once placed upon the market at advauoed prices, and the Importer began to scratch around to got tbe money to meei tbelr bills. July weat by with fairly good result, but the offerings were too numerous they were larger than the country waa able at once to abeorb. and October came and found no appreciable diminution of Summer gooas in tbe hands or importers and jouDera.

Some of them tried to force aales by letting goods go at old tariff prloea; then there wore dis counts first 2 per thea 4 per cent. then 5 per cent, and at length, la some lnatanoee, 10 per cent I "Hetau meionaDU wno aaa hoagnt tnair good on the first rush and xoltmnt were dis gusted.

Immigrant tho FTioaland brought aero th ocean from Antwerp oome ashore. II looked orer tho Barge Office's appolnto'enta with CoL Weber and Gen. O'Belrne and thea he and hla party boarded tho John Moore for a trip to U1 Island. With the Secretary were M. Headier, his private secretary; Gen.

O. L. pa aiding. Assistant Becretary of the Treasury; Frank Sparry, Collector Erhardfs private secretary; W. P.

Hepbnm. Solicitor of the Treasury; Agents George W. Whitehead and W. S. Chance.

CoL Weber, Gen. 0Belrne, Gen. Thomae. Surveyor Lyon. J.

Wilkinson of Fostoria, Ohio; Major George B. Hlbbard. Superintendent of Construction at Kills Island, and CoL J. W. MarshalL The party spent a good deal of time on tbe island.

The hospital building waa found to be complete and the boiler bouse to be nearly finished. Work on the detention house to nearly ended. The big receiving station is almost ready for the roof. Altogether, the work should be completed In six weeks or ao. A well baa been sunk to a depth of 917 feet, and it to expected to yield boo barrels of water to-day.

Tbe casing of the well is now being put in. To give an additional supply of water, arrangements will be made to collect wster falling upon the roof of the buildings. About Will cover tho expense of the work on the Island. The Moore earned her passengers around Bed-low's Island and then up the Kant Kiver to tbe Brooklyn Nary Yard. Everybody on board bail a good lime, especially an actlv photographer, who anooaoded in gettlug fifteen pictures of tbe Secretary, lie also took" Assistant Secretary Spauldlng at auoh short range that his vlotlin waa startled by the snap of the camera Mr.

Foster returned to tho pier In plenty of time to prepare for the dinner with which Elliott F. febepard regaled him last night In reply to questions about the sealing of cars Mr. Foster said: "The prtuclple hae been definitely agreed upon to restrict the present policy of tbe department which permits tbe Canadian railways to carry goods, sealod in bond, aoros the oontlnent Into our territory, for shipment from our ports to other countries. The goods which come to our frontier from Canada will, therefore, be treated precisely as If tbey bad arrived at the pert of New-York. It will not be alwaya necessary to break bulk, but tho goods will be subject to iuspecUon In the interest ot tbe reveuue.

Tbe business has so Increased that it la Impossible for the Consuls, who are now charged with the duty, to put tholr scale on all cars. Sometimes the railroad men have put on tbe seals. Again, seal have been found broken on the arrival of cars at tbelr destination. Seala, too, have been broken before the arrival of the Inspectors at the place where the oars are received. There Is no desire to obstruct the trafOo la question, but we do desire to protect the interests of the Government There la no lutenUon of toxtng foreign ears, although, when the Canadian roads have tried to take advantage of American roads, there have been demands that a tax abould be placed upon tbulr cars.

Where cars cross tho boundary at Suspension Bridge, for examplo-tbey will be Inspected, Just as they would be If the goods they ooutaln bad arrived at one of tbe seaboard cities. It will probably tsko about two week to arrange the detail aud put the new policy Intoeuuot" When be was asked about tbe Bering Sea eoa-trovorty. Mr. Foster said that correspondence wa still going on between the British aud American Governments, aud that no conclusion had been reached. Until eae wa arrlvsd at, th old Instruction to tho revenue cutter would apply.

In tba Onanolal situation said that there was nothing which required special attention. The Democrat hail defeated Secretary Wla-dom'a Interconvertible bond scheme, and aiao tho Sherman plan. Mr. Fester favors the Interconvertible bend. He does not expect any serious loss to the country through the export of gold.

There to a loes to the shipper now on all lota aent out Aa he understood the case, the Secretary aald, England waa drawing gold from thla country and sending it to Germany to pay what she owed to that country. Tbe Government, Mr. Foster sold, had not refused to Issue gold ban for shipment In order to out off exports. But tho Government waa a baslneee institution, and there was no reason why It should supply gold lit the most available form for shipping. "Molar ae tbe Custom House Is concerned," aald be, I am goiug to look it over.

I did not come hero specially for that purpose. Had it not been for private matter I should not be hero now. I didn't com to take off beads, but If I find there to aeed to cut them off I shall not hesitate to rooommond the rrosldent to rmuv them." Tb inspection of American meat shipped from this country had beoa of great advantage to tbe trade, be said. It bad raised the meet la the opinion ot foreigners, and had advanced the price for both beef and pork. In a political way, Mr.

roster's expectation were these: lie expected to one Mr. Harrison renominated In Ihu, with Mr. Morton again tbe candidate for second place. He sx pec tod to see Mr. Cleveland obosen to lead the Ietno-orata; possibly tbe honor might fall to Gorman or Morrison.

Tbe tight would be made on the tariff and tbe financial question. In Ohio he ex-peoted to ace McKlnley and Campbell in the race for the Governorship and a campaign on national Issues. Secretary Foster to expected to visit the Cue-torn House to-day. Assistant Secretary Hpauld-ing will also be there, and will look into the question ot the marking of foreign goods.

Thla wa th Savannah, built al Corlear Blip, la tbe Zaat Elver, and launched early In 1810. The Savannah sailed from thla port March 28, 1819, with Cap! Moaea Kogers la command. She proceeded to Savannah, where she arrived after a paaeajre of six daya Thence ah sailed to Liverpool, April 6. arririnf safely at that port after an eighteen-day voyage. When tho Savannah entered Bt Georye'e Channel, off tho city of Cork, it la aald that she vaa descried by tbe commander of the British Beet, than at an obor In the harbor, beelna; the smoke pouring from ber single funnel tbe British commander thought that the vessel was on Ore, and sent two outters to offer betp.

Tbe Savannah was (sited by thousands when lying at ner pier, and tho newspapers of the day were filled with descriptions of what waa thea a wonderful feat of marine construction. An old lithograph of this ship waa found by a Tut aa reporter reoently In a (low a -town otfloe. (she ia represented aa a three-masted craft, sauare-rlgged, aad with two unwieldy paddle-wheals amidships. The single funnel Is very tall, reaching almost to the top. Judging by th poddlo-wkeely-a compared with the anile, one 1 led to tho oonolnalon that th latter must hsve ben far superior to tho former a a maena of locomotion, and that the eoginee were sop-plied for auxiliary purposes rather than for Ceo ting a revolution In marine propulsion.

Tb faet remains, however, tbat the Savannah wa a steamer, aad th first one to ore th Atlantic. "UXCLE ZEE'B" AITIIOVB RXLATITXB.
