Waring announced to his subordinates the laying of 300 members of his uniformed 'force, together with some carts and miscellaneous employees. Yesterday afternoon this action of the Street-Cleaning Commissioner was seriously discussed In the Mayor's office by other heads departments under Mayor Strong, and one of those present, whose name cannot be given, ventured the opinion that It was a political move. "Col. 1 he said, "lays-off a lot of men now; he reduces the expenses of his department for two months; about Oct.

A World reporter called upon Commissioner Waring: at his office, No. 32 Chambers, street, and asked this question: "Col. Waring, is it that you have laid off 300 members of the uniformed forcer "That is not a subject for the newspapers to discuss at all. It Is not a newspaper story.

The Street-Cleaning even have the appearance of discussing his action. A majority of the big men in Tammany have but one favor to ask of Mr. Croker, according to private con- ve'-sation, and that is that he rcn.nln abroad, or if he returns that he be as little in evidence as possible. The fact that he never answered The World'b famous uestion "Where, d'id you got it? 1 and the additional fact that he has been spending from six to ten months each year abroad getting rid of "it," while many of his old constituents were, going hungry on this side of the water, has not tended to endear Mr. Croker to the.rank and file of Tammany, and the leaders know it.

Here. are some of the remarks made by politicians yesterday upon The World's news from abroad: John C. Croker Is an honest and sincere member of Tammany and a patriotic citizen of New York, anxious for Its best interests. As 'to his, candidacy for Mayor, I never heard of it except through the newspapers. I do know that when he Is here will be what he has always been, a loyal Democrat, and do nil that he can for, the success of his party.

The sarcastic wit which was levelled against the white wings and the apologetic remarks that "Top Brennan could have done the same If he'd spent the money" have been eliminated from the remarks ol Tammany orators. And leaders like former Senator Plunkitt, James W.

Waring, are saying extremely kind -bout h.s administration, always with the' remark: 'Veil, Waring ought to be in Tammany Hall. He's a good fellow and an able man." Former Senator Plunkitt, who Is not afra.d to speak his" mind, went furthar than that yesterday, when he told to a group in the Court-House corridor: of -na biiieti'iest men I 'ever kne offku'ls, is what he wants, and he gets and one of the best city man Wering.

It is a merry time that Tarrytown is avlng with Its taxation. It Is enjoy- ig it hugely, and if a millionaire or two baited, what care the townsmen, save or the amusement? Tarrytown thinks it will make the Ich pay well, even though they pay ard, but there are two sides to the tory and the millionaires haven't yet pun yarn. All Tarryto-vn expects hear it on "Grievance Day," as it is' ailed, but when It is told it iiiay be no uch pleasant narrative as the village okers seem to expect. However, the cry set up by the op- ressed money men grows'ln proportion the increase in the assessment. It is loud, in fact, there is a suspicion that is pointed directly persons who ave reason, though they -be baiting illlionaires.

Mr. Rockefeller has started this sus- icion. His prompt threat to pull up arid get out has lent color to. the' Hia threat might have had molja eight later, for while the valuation la briskly completed the tax rate Is In rio wise adjusted. Until that tax rate la fixed there is no reason the millionaires should protest unless, perchance, they know that the rate will be in proportion to the valuation.

It is now understood that the rate in Tarrytown will be less than one- half the rate last year. Under last year's valuation the rate was upon onjy 40 per cent, or thereabouts on all erty. This year, while it will be upon the full 100 per cent, of taxable property, by the usual juggling of figures, the will be "about 40 per cent, of last year's rate. In other words, whether the valuation Increases the tax rate drops. (.

To be sure, Judge Keogh's crusade against assessors has put a premium upon honesty, and that Is the real reason oi the tai agitation Tarryiown. But it is not the reason why Mr. Rockefeller has protested. If the assessors are to bellbved, he would have set up his wail anyway, and In the new order of things he has merely found opportunity to complain the more. These words of Martin, the assessor, may in a measure explain the Standaid Oil magnate's objection to taxes as understood in Tarrytown.

"When I became Assessor," said he, wrote to Mr. Rockefeller asking for a personal Interview. He turned me over to his superintendent. Up to that time he had paid taxes on $122,000, and I told him it would be raised. It WPS raised to the neighborhood of 11,000,000, This year I wrote to him again, then I wpnt up to his place.
