MISCELLANEOUS. GARRETT P. SERVISS' LECTURE. The HOUSE WILL VOTE TO BAY ON THE PHILIPPINE BILL. WORKING OUT it PLAN FOR INDUSTRIAL PEACE.

CURES Slfe. YOUR IpP, COUGH fitraus replied that the committee would work for plans of a definite and final char 1 actc r. It was then suggested that perhaps the I gathering of to day would be fully as rep resentative as at any future time. To thi Mr. Straus replied emphatically in the ncg ative.

"Not by any means." he said. "We will get all the members of this committee to Kcther. I think every member of this committee ought to feel that the cause is great enough to have a claim on his most service. We have only one aim in view. the aim that has been apparent all through the conference, namely to promote industrial peace any means human ingenuity can devise.

I am glad to say that in this work wo have the fullest co operation of all the great labor leaders, who are representing more than two milli on laborers. I need not say that the co operation from the cant lalists will be fully as hearty. In this connection it is interesting to consider hov 1 lcprosentative a body this committee really "The furt her this tiling has gone the more it. has become apparent that nearly all the labor troubles of the past have been due to misunderstanding. I fully indorse what Mr.

Mitchell yesterday, that all the strikes lie had been in could have been averted if employer and employes had been brought, together before the strike was declared." The first one of the committee to arrive was Secretary Ralph M. Basley. A little later John .1. McCook, Frank P. Sargent and the secretary of the latter arrived.

They declined to be interviewed and hastened into the meeting room. The next arrival was S. R. Callaway, who was followed closely by Chairman Straus. At 10:30 o'clock President Schwab of the Steel Trust climbed hastily the elevator and rushed through the hallway into the inner room, dodging reporters as he went.

There were several photographers present who had tried snap snots at Mr. Schwab, but the best they could get was a back view. One? the door was closed there was no form of message or entreaty which could induce the doorkeeper to open It. About. 11 o'clock Senator 'rk Hanna came up the elevator.

He greeted the reporters pleasantly in the hall, but when asked to talk about the plans of the committee, said: "Gentlemen, you really must excuse me. Even if I bad plans of my own it would not be courteous in nie to tell them. You must, remember that the question of plans is what we arc here to discuss." The Senator then vanished through the door. The committee commenced work shortly after 11 o'clock. Senator Hanna was elected chairman.

He occupied one end of the table, together with Archbishop Ireland and Oscar S. Straus. On either side of the long table in the center of the room millionaires and labor representatives intermingled in the most democratic fashion. Samuel Gompers sat between Senator Hanna and Charles M. Schwab.

Next to Mr. Schwab sat President Keefe of the Longshoremen's Union, then President Mitchell of the United Minors' Union. Secretary Duncan of the Granite Cutters sat next to John J. McCook. who is a big corporation lawyer.

On the other side of the table sat. in the following order, Cornelius N. Bliss, Lewis Nixon. Frank P. Sargent.

S. R. Calloway. Charles A. Moore, Henry White and Secretary Rasley.

After organizing the committee set to Sterling Every Evening Christmas. Don't postpone the selection of your Christmas Piano until the last moment.

Our three year payment plan enables any honest man or woman to purchase a piano and enjoy all the benefits derived from its use while paying for it.

It's a good way to purchase, as every payment is applied in full toward the purchase price; no interest, no mortgage or any fees of any sort. 536 FULTON ST, Brooklyn. FnKoji Hoyt SI rct' ls. ENSJ UUK FOR THE HOLIDAYS. 3n All Kinds lA'tKlicr.

Tie Unbroken. William A. Doyle, leader ol the regular Democrats of the Seventh Assembly District, is indignant. He is angry. He is shocked.

He denies flatly the charge ol selling places which was made against him on the floor oC the Democratic General Committee last night by Kyran J. Farrell. He says he will at once take measures to bring a suit for libel against Mr. Farrell, if such a suit can be begun. Meantime he can do nothing but trust his reputation in the hands of those who know him as a business man, and of the party leaders who have trusted him in the past.

Mr. Doyle is a member of the Hatton Doyle Insurance Agency on Montague street. Nobody realizes tetter than he the seriousness of the accusation that he sold patronage for cash or permitted it to be sold in his district. There are of ccurse some ways of making money in politics that the "Better Element" would not countenance that do not offend the code of ethics held by practical politicians. This is not one of them.

For every academic denunciation of such action as Mr. Farrell charged to Mr. Doyle there are ten party workers to cry "Shame!" IT a cash commission is to. take away from the loyal party man the legitimate reward of bis work, he is the man most interested. He will not stand for that sort of corruption which is neither mors nor less in character than what has made the Manattan Police Department a byword.

It followed that when Mr. Farrell delivered his philippic in the Thomas Jefferson Building last night he struck a tender point right there. It was squarely stated by one or two men very prominent in the inner council, that, while they did not believe the accusation against Doyle he would have to take a chance to clear himself; and that the matter would not he allowed to drop. And this, in spite of the fact that as between Doyle and his local opponents the Councilman has the warm friendship of Willoughby street. The councilman said this morning: "I shall certainly, in some way.

call upon those men to present some evidence to sustain their scandalous charges. I think the attack is absolutely unjustifiable from any standpoint." Mr. Doyle leads the Coney Island district and the traditions of that district arc not whiter than the driven snow. But there. Js scarcely anybody familiar with Democratic politics who believes the accusation and it was said to day that the temper in which Farrell spoke put the committee in such a mood that, if a vote had been taken, the anti Doyle crowd would not have had ten votes out of the whole number of delegates present.

However, the decision as to who shall he executive committeeman in case the tie is not broken will lie with Mr. Bainbridge, and ho is likely t.o take counsel of Mr. Shepard. The conclusion of most of the leaders from this fact was that the legal mind of the Congress street statesman would eventually pass on the evidence for and against Councilman Doyle. There was a little humor, the politicians said, in having such a washing of soiled linen at the first "meeting, in which most of the better element people had been present.

But the opinion was general, also, that, both this outbreak and the energetic speech of the new chairman on the coinage question were good signs. MARCONI AND CABLE MONOPOLY. Inventor Negotiating With the Anglo American Company He May Visit Nova Scotia Sunday. St. John's, N.

December IS Marconi is awaiting a cable message from London announcing the result of the negotiations between his agents and the Anglo American Cable Company. The inventor fears the latter will insist that, he cannot engage in commercial business hero until after the expiration of their monopoly. Marconi is not prepared to agree to such a condition, believing he can perfect means for signalling between Cornwall and Nova Scotia within a few months. He has now practically decided to visit Nova Scotia on Sunday, hut this does not necessarily mean that he will abandon Newfoundland if the Anglo American Company proves reasonable. Superintendent Mackay, manager of the Anglo American Company in this colony, denies that he protested to Governor Boyle yesterday against the latter visiting the Marconi station.

Mr. Maekay admits calling upon tho governor, but says the call was in regard to another aspect, a purely social one, of Marconi's affairs, and that nothing in the nature of a protest transpired. It is certain, however, that the Cabinet, met yesterday forenoon, prior to visiting Signal Hill, and discussed whether to go there or not. The Premier, Sir Robert Bond, says the government decided to support Marconi while his work Is experimental, on the ground that its scientific value should be ascertained. In the interest of the whole world, without taking sides in the.

controversy. $450 DAMAGES FOB, H. V. GRAY. A jury in Part II of the Supreme Court, Justice William J.

Gaynor presiding, yesterday afternoon brought in a verdict for $450 in favor of Henry V. Gray in his suit against the Heights line to recover S5.000 for personal injuries, in a collision between a car of the defendant and a wagon in which the plaintiff was driving, on September fl, 1900, nA liberty avenue and Linwood street. With 0 1 466 Fulton St, Republicans Confident That the Tariff Measure Will Be Passed by a Big Majority. SOME BREAKS ON BOTH SIDES. Loss of Eight Republican Votes Will Be Partially Compensated by Gain of Louisiana Delegation.

Eagle Bureau, G08 Fourteenth Street. Washington, December IS The final day's debate on the Philippine tariff bill was opened in the House of Representatives this afternoon by Representative Henry of Texas. Owing to the limited time left for discussion and the fact that a number of members desired to make speeches. Chairman Payne asked that leave to print in the Record be extended for the next five days. This was agreed to.

Voting on the hill will begin at 4 o'clock. The "whips" on both sides were actively at work all morning preparing for the vote. This will be the first division of any importance since the now membersship of the House assembled. The Republican majority at present is 37 as against 14 in the last House. Representative Tawney, the Republican whip, said of the probable result of the vote: "The bill will pass by a liberal majority, although there will be some breaks on both sides.

On the Republican side we will not lose more than eight votes. This loss will be partially compensated by the gain of the Louisiana delegation of six votes. The net result shows that the bill will pass without trouble." The Republican members who have announced opposition to the bill are Representatives McCall of Massachusetts, Little field of Maine and Crumpacker of Indiana. The latter is absent and will be paired against the bill if possible, although. Democratic members are refusing to be paired with him owing to his attitude on Southern elections.

Representative Warner of Illinois and three Republican members of tho Minnesota delegation are among the other Republicans whose positions are doubtful and who may vote, against the bill. Mr. Henry, the first speaker, characterized the bill as oppressive and outrageous. Months instead of two days, he said, would not be too long lor the discussion of a measure of vital interest to 10,000,000 people. He dwelt upon the injustice of the double export and import tax on rice, sugar and tobacco and charged that this double taxation was in the interest of the sugar and tobacco trusts.

Mr. Henry took issue with his Louisiana colleagues as to the effect of free trade with the Philippines upon the sugar industry of Louisiana. The benefits from the sale of cotton and rice, he argued, would more than compensate for any injury to the sugar industry. Mr. Williams (Hiss.) followed Mr.

Henry. He said that as long as the. Philippine archipelago was a part of the United States and within its domain it should be treated as part of the union with the same equality and uniformity enjoyed by the other territories. But to avoid the embarrassments, hardships and difficulties of the situation he believed we should get rid of the islands as soon as we could do so with honor to' ourselves and benefit to the Filipinos. senateTroceedings.

Washington. December IS After the transaction of routine business in the Senate to day Mr. Piatt (Conn.) offered a resolution suspending the rule providing for tlie appointment of members of the various Senate committees by ballot. The resolution was adopted. Mr.

Piatt then submitted another resolution appointing formally the committees for the Fifty seventh Congress. The names of the members of the committees already have been published. It was adopted. A bill authorizing the construction of a railroad bridge across the Arkansas river near Fort Gibson, Indian Territory, was passed. At 12:45 o'clock the Senate, on motion of Mr.

Hale (Maine) went into executive session. ARMY NOMINATIONS FAVORED. Washington, December IS The Senate Committee on Military Affairs to day agreed to report favorably all the army nominations before it except those to staff positions concerning which questions have been raised. It is specifically stated by members of the committee that the delay is only for the purpose of investigating tne circumstances attending the various nominations. The nominations to be favorably reported include several hundred names.

Among them is that of General Funston to be a brigadier general. BILLS PRESENTED BY WILSON. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington.

Colonel John N. Partridge's retirement from Governor Odell's cabinet is viewed with keen regrets. Always affable and courteous to the correspondents, he has often made them his debtors through his helpfulness and consideration, and naturally they cherish toward him the kindliest sentiments. As a parting token of his regard Colonel Partridge yesterday afternoon entertained the newspaper representatives assigned to the state departments at luncheon at the Fort Orange Club. The affair was entirely informal, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the host as well as by bis dozen guests.

It is the Colonel's expectation that he will be able, to close up his affairs as Superintendent of Public Works by to morrow, so that he may leave finally for Xew York City on Friday. NEW SUIT AFTER SETTLEMENT. Belle, Roberts brought suit against the Metropolitan Street Railway Company to recover $10,000 for personal injuries, and' her husband, Dr. Nathan S. Roberts, brought an action to recover for loss of her services.

The suits were on for trial to day before Justice William J. Gaynor and a jury in Part II r.f the Supreme Court. Tho couple live at 123 Oak street. Greeupoint. It was alleged that the plaintiff, Mrs.

Roberts, had met with an accident at Twenty third street and Lexington avenue, Manhattan, on January 17. ISoO. by stepping from a cor. The defendant denied responsibility and also set up that the case had been settled for Jo0 paid. Before the case had proceeded far.

Justice Gaynor spoke to the plaintiffs' attorney and said: "Why do you bring this case? Has It not been settled?" Counsel replied: "I brought it, because I thought It "Do you thialt the jury and I are fools? Where releases arc signed you never have a case A verdict is directed for the Civic Federation Committee of Thirty six Now in Executive Session. SENATOR HANNA IN THE CHAIR. Mr. Straus Says All the Labor Troubles of the Past Have Been Due to Misunderstanding. The committee cf thirty six, which was appointed at the conference of the industrial department of the National Civic Federation yesterday, to consider the question of bringing about a closer union between organized capital and organized labor and devising means for the amicable settlement or all future questions pertaining to industry in the United States, went into executive session in the chambers of the Board of Trade and Transportation, at 203 Broadway, at 11 o'clock to day.

The conference of the committee, which all members within reach of this city had been urged to attend, was strictly private. The doorkeeper had been instructed to admit no one except the members of the committee, and he was forbidden to interrupt the proceedings by delivering messages to any one except those which were of vital importance. The general public to day awakened to the fact that the step taken yesterday by the Civic Federation was by all odds the most important one ever taken in the history of organized industry. The full significance of the mere appointment of such a committee was not realized until business men had had time to discuss the step, but in all such discussion the same conclusion was reached that if the committee appointed yesterday, consisting of tweH'e capitalists, twelve labor leaders and twelve independent men of broad minded intelligence, or a similar committee, could be made a permanent one, open ruptures between labor and capital, which have, in the past, brought about strikes, injuring both sides, would be wholly done away with. The men who have been asked by Chairman Oscar Straus to serve on the committee to devise ways and means of procedure toward the desired end showed their keen appreciation of the honor and responsibility conferred upon them by abandoning all other business to attend the conference.

Even these who were tco far removed to reach the city in time sent word that they would gladly serve. Before he entered the private room where the meeting was to be held. Oscar S. Straus, who appointee the committee, talked to the reporters. Mr.

Straus was asked whether he had communicated with ex President Cleveland and received his assurance that he would ser on the committee. He said he bad not. but added that be was certain the former President would gladly serve such a good cause. "Every one of the labor leaders can be counted upon to serve, 1 am glad to say," said Mr. Straus.

"I feel equally confident that practically every one appoiuted oh the committee will accept." "I don't see how any one who realizes the great good that must come from a union between labor and capital can feel that he irari deny his services in this great cause." he added. Mr. Straus was then questioned in regard tc the make up of. the sub committee on plan, scope and procedure. This sub committee was appointed at an informal gathering of the members hold yesterday afternoon, behind closed doors.

Mr. Straus replied that almost every member of the committee then in attendance had been appointed on the. sub committee. He mentioned the following names: Archbishop Ireland, Senator Hanna. Bishop Potter, Charles M.

Schwab. Cornelius X. Bliss. Samuel Gompers. S.

R. Callaway. John Mitchell. Frank P. Sargent and Lewis Nixon.

Mr. Straus himself is also a member of the committee. He said that the scope and plans had been talked over in a general way at that gathering and that the proposition had been drafted so as to supply the committee with a basis on which to work. He added that the plans to be laid before the committee had not as yet assumed any form definite enough to make it. possible for him to discuss it in any way.

"The ideas entertained on all sides," he said, "seemed to harmonize." Mr. Straus was then asked whether the committee would work out merely a tentative plan or whether its work would be of a final character.

T. Booth Ithaca, N. Y. OBITUARY. Miss Sarah E.

Fuller. Sarah E. Fuller, one of the pioneer wood and steel engravers of this country, died at her country home in Lynbrook, L. last Saturday. For many years she did work for Harpers' and other publishing houses of Manhattan.

She was a member of many women's clubs and was at one time president of the New York Peace Union. At the time of her death she was corresponding secretary of Sorosis and prominent in the Vegetarian Society. She was 72 years old. Rudolph Bernhardt. Randolph Reinhardt, for thirteen years engineer, in St.

Catharine's Hospital, died yesterday after an illness lasting five weeks. The engineer was first stricken with typhoid fever, but later it was found necessary to perform an operation in the hope of saving his life. He was, however, too weak to rally and his death followed. Reinhardt was born in Germany about fifty years ago, but was brought to this country by his parents when he was 9 years old. The funeral will take place on Friday morning from the Church' of the Most Holy Trinity.

Montrose avenue, where a solemn requiem mass will be celebrated. The interment will be in St. John's Cemetery. The deceased is survived by his wife, four daughters and three sons. MR.

AND MRS. SYRON STILL AWAY The Ex Convict and His Bride, "Who Was Miss Mangam. on Their Honeymoon. Thomas Syron, an e. convict.

is still on his honeymoon trip with the wife who found him in a prison cell, married him and gave him tho benefit ot a. large fortune, with prospective heirship to one of the handsomest estates in It was thought this morning that he returned with his bride to her mother's, home at "24 Clinton avenue, but this was denied there. When' an Eagle reporter called and asked for Mrs. Rebecca J. Mangam, mother of Sarah R.

Mangam, the bride, he. was met by a woman who seemed to be over 00 years of age, with coal black eyes and a very businesslike manner. "Mother doesn't care to talk about this any more," said the woman. "She thinks it. is her private affair, and that tho newspapers have nothing to do with it.

She won't say a word about it." "Then you arc Mrs. Syron, Mrs. Mangam's Thomas Syron. daughter?" the reporter queried. "No, I am not.

related to the family." the woman replied, in evident embarrassment. "I am just here with the family." She said she could not say a word about the Mangam Syron marriage, because she didn't have Mr. Mangam's permission. The woman answered Mrs. Syron's description iu many ways.

It is understood that as soon as Syron and his wife returns they will resume their mission work at the Gospel House, a mission in Bergen si reel, near Underhil! avenue. It is not probable that they will live over the mission, as has been stated, although Miss Mangam titled un rooms there for housekeeping, before she took the ex convict, as her husband. Site will doubtless reside at her own home, 224 Clinton avenue, where she was married last Thursday night. She believes 'bat Syron is completely converted and regenerated. He changed from a Catholic to a Baptist and was baptized in the baptistry in Miss Mangam's own mission.

Sue bought him new clothes, gave him a farewell bachelor dinner, at which, hfs friends say, he was visibly embarrassed and overwhelmed by being so dressed up. Syron is years old, just about eleven years younger than his bride, and so far as can be learned lie never had any occupation. He has bad two experiences in jail. It was during bis last incarceration that Miss Mangam met him while engaged in mission work. WILD GEESE VISIT ISLAND.

Eastport, December 18 Since the arrival of cold weather here large flocks of Canadian wild geese have settled in the East Bay and good bags are being made by sportsmen. The ducks seem to prefer the northern side'of the bay and can be killed without the trouble of crossing to the beach. Yesterday Mr. Bens, a local hunter, killed three geese off Speonk Point. He owns one of the largest flocks of live geese decoys on the island.

In Mecox Bay the birds are also very plentiful, the Seabury brothers and Ellsworth Downs having shot six on one occasion. CLERK A SUICIDE. Henry Khlern. 2" years old, clerk cm ployed by Frederick Applcbaum, a grocer at 163 Gates avenue, committed suicide somi: time last evening by taking carbolic am! Ehler3 lived with the family and had been working for Mr. Applebaum ever much he came to thin country about twelve years ago.

work to outline a plan of operations, At noon it was expected that, the work would be completed early in the afternoon. It was also said at, that time that Senator Hanna intends to leave for Washington this afternoon. At 1 o'clock the committee had not. taken a recess and it was reported from inside that they would have nothing lo say before o'clock. WIRE WORK GOING FORWARD.

Soon Operations on All Four of the New Bridge Cables Will Be Under Way. The work of stretching 1he wire lor the cables for the New East River Bridge is being conduct (Hi in a highly satisfactory manner. This morning the second strand for Cable No. I was completed nnd the two strands for Cable No. 2 are so far advanced that it is expected they also will be finished in another day or so.

The rapidity with which the work has been carried on recently is duo to the fact that the machinery lias reached such a point of perfection that, no further delays arc encountered. The light fall of snow did not prevent, the men from cuntinuints work throughout, the day yesterday. While if has heretofore required about, a week and a half to stretch the necessary 'JOS wires the lime is gradually being reduced and it is confidently expected that, hut one week will hereafter be needed tor the same work. Arrangements are being made to start spinning the wires for Cables Nos. a and 1.

When this work begins, as it is expected it will, to morrow, spinning operations will be carried on in all four of the cables at the same time. Another interesting part of cable making will follow now that the two strands have been completed. It. is the removing of thr strands from what are termed he cable shoes and attaching them to the pins, their permanent connection to the cable chains. AMUSEMENTS.
