Tbe transfers of Deputy Chiefs and of Captains to the Borough of Brooklyn, made to-day by the police authorities in Manhattan, ar published la this Issue of The Eagle. They have but one significance. It is that the gamblers, poo) sellers, and maintainors or houses of rtleneas over here have secured the scattering of officers who tried to break up their business, and vha did keen It In tvuinAa anit that nope by the changes which have been made to resume their nemlcinua aAtlpirv Htkn erious interference.

The men who have been sent out know why- they hare bean sent out- The men who nave been brought tn ran hardly be under any doubts as to why they have been "brought In." The public opinion will bo unanimous that those changes hare been made to enable revenue from rottenness, under the sale of law. to bo resumed here on tno old scale, and that ail chances have been taken on Us reeumn-tion. the aroused moral sentiment of the people, and the oncoming- of too Leglxa-ture to the contrary notwithstanding The Eaglo will not be misunderstood when the temark la made that there no reason to regret this proceeding. The proceeding will force the dullest or the saoat a rit n. til eieariv to umia.raca.nd it not be mistaken.

It means that the political powers tn Manhattan, behind the police who live on tbe marketing of crime and by blackmail upon protected, infamies, are out of money, need it, and are bent on having tbe money which they need.

BERUat. Dee. 15. Comment has been aroused by the tact that Russia's com-merdal representative In Germany, M. Tlmlrjaserf, a series of Interview, ha warned Germany not to try to Increase the duties upon Russian agricultural products in the coming commercial treaties, as Russia will not submit to It.

Hence Russia is the more Interested in reaching a satisfactory un-gerstandii with Germany. wfllfinj atcarcstab-Hibment tbe Kraest most cornpfiete eiblWtfit cbotce artl'1 cies tn; 7 Porcelain v--; Cttdtal JOne Cbfria 1J amftable; tot Clft Jflftb Hvenuc ant30tb Fur Establishment XT Open Evcnirgs till Christmas. nandsome Park Eastern Mink Storm Collars, Worked In stripes, with extra full clus. ter dark rmnk Uils, beautiful brocaie ra 1 0 7 -o apefal, 00 Persian Lamt Storm Collars, Fine close gkfssy curl, with full cluster of U.ls, special, Alaska Sable Storm Collars, Heavy, thick, rich fur, ful' i c'us-ter of taU, special '15 Fine Dark Eastern Mink Scarfs, Worked in stripes, full di ter of flf lare dark mink tails, fecial, IU Hudson Bay Sable Scarf, Wiih right beautrfut Uus, JQC special, Oi?
