3 GERMANY SAYS THAT PEACE WILL COME BEFORE MAY. Strong and Confident SemiOfficial Statement Issued in Berlin. CZAR ALONE HOLDING OUT. Declared That Nearly All His Family and Ministers Are Now Working to End War, Berlin, April 5-Peace at an early date is regarded as probable by the German embassy in St. Petersburg, and in consequence of dispatches received from there by the government.

in the last three days this opinion circulates in official circles for the first time since the war began. The Russian Emperor, it is true, has not yet decided for peace, but the grand dukes and all, 01' practically all, the members of the court, who have access to the Emperor, are for peace. The Czar is described in the gossip that goes about here as standing alone irresolutely. The considerations that -till delay his decision are personal ones, he feeling that his reign is a failure if Russia does not win the war, and that his prestige as a sovereign will be lost at home and in foreign countries: but he cannot yet bring himself to speak the word that will set the peace negotiations 1 in motion. Much good will and sympathy are felt for the Russian Emperor in higher official life here, but it is regarded as a certainty that he must yield to his -family and ministers, and that the month will not end without peace.

In the meantime the prospect of peace and the incertitude of the Emperor weakens the military administration and delays the execution of plans for fresh armies and the gathering of new supplies. Clearing Harbin for Another Battle. St. Petersburg, April 5--General Linevitch las forwarded to War Minister Sakharoff the report of General Gouchkoff, of the Red Cross service. General Gouchkoff reports that the wounded who remained behind in Mukden included General Gannenfeld.

37 other officers and 1,647 men, most of whom were brought in from the field after the evacuation of the city. Twenty Russian Sisters of Mercy, thirty doctors and 150 men of the medical corps have been sent by the Japenese to Che Foo, whence they will be elipped to Russia. General Gouchkoff pay? tribute to the Japanese treatment of the Russian wounded, Sisters of Mercy and doctors. A report from Harbin says that complete returns received at headquarters give the total Russian losses in killed, wounded and prisoners in the battle of Mukden as 000. The wounded are being taken away here over the Siberian Rallroad a0 com rapidly as possible, in order to free the hospitals preparatory to a renewal of the fighting.

By General Linevitch's order, the bands play daily at all the Russian positions. Japs Report Victories. Tokio.

Moody Boynton Built the Queer Looking Trestle on Coney Island's Meadows.

MADE SPEED, BUT NO MONEY. Now He Is "Broke" in Boston and Owes Venture in Brooklyn. E. Moody Boynton, the inventor who built the bicycle railroad across the meadows 1 to Coney Island, has gone into bankruptcy a6 a final result of his efforts to make his single rail traction road a success. He has filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in the Boston courts.

showing liabilities of about $10.000 more than his assets. Boynton dreamed that his invention would make him the railroad king of the world. To-day he gives his total assets at only $300, while he owes $106,101 in scheduled debts. A line of rotten timbers stretching across the Coney Island meadows marks the wreck of Boynton's first bid for wealth and power in the railway world. For a few weeks he startied the whole country with a railroad running trains at a mile a minute on a single track.

That was twenty-five years ago, when twenty miles an hour was a fair average on railroads. After electric power came into general 1180 Boynton could send cars along at the rate of 100 miles an hour. He was not satisfiled with the failure of his railroad plans in Brooklyn and Long Island, but went to Massachusetts and buried money in promoting his invention there. The Boynton bicycle railroad invention has been used as the basis of several wonderful schemes backed by whole companies of Colonel Mulberry Sellers' family, all crying out. "There's millions in it." For many years promoters of the railroad were fighting other railroad interests, only to meet tailure in the end.

When the State Railroad Commission refused, after years of exploitation by the pronoters, to give the bicycle railroad a certificate, de munds of tue company were diverted to that alluring scucme to build a beau ul Venice 0: 200,000 persons stretching over the shallow waters of Jamaica Bay. Thousands of persons, infatuated with the idea of getting rich in a hurry, have put their hard earned savings into, this Janaica Bay scheme, In which several Loug Island and Brooklyn men were interested. hue scheme feil into some disrepute after it became known that it was backed by Peter Garrahan, who had served his time for swindling in a similar land scheme in Maryland, and that one of its chief promoters was Philip Weinseimer, the labor leader now appealing for a sentence imposed after viction on the charge of extorting a bribe. The Boynton bicycle railroad idea led to A dramatic fight between the late Austin Corbin and his nephew, Frederick W. Dunton.

The uncle and nephew quarreled and it was due largely to Mr. Corbin's efforts that the plans of Mr. Dunton were get at raught. Mr. Dunton ran for presido it of the Borough of Queens, the year of consolidation.

and was defeated. It was Dunton who succeeded Boynton as promoter of the bicycle railroad. Boynton built his railroad from Neck road and Gravesend avenue in the meadows to the old Cable Hotel. near the Brighton Beach Race Track. It was a queer looking structure, the frame work, standing up twenty feet aigh.

The Cars were narrow. with just room for one person to a seat. they were double decked cars, and were supported mainly by wheels resting en the single rail beneath, although part of the weight was carried on an overhead rail. which was used chiefly in holding the cars upright. The cars were pulled by steam locomotives.

People were afraid of Boynton's freak road. They thought all sorts of accidents would happen on the bicycle trains whizzing over the meadows at more than a mile a minute. Lack of patronage and other troubles caused a shut-down of the road after 2. few weeks. Since then the structure has rotted away.

Frederick W. Dunton and others bought the patent for the elevated bicycle railroad on Long Island. and formed a company known as the Kings, Queens and. Suffolk County Company. They formed a gigantic plan to gird Long Island with bicycle railroads, paralleling the Long Island Railroad Company, and cutting it out of passenger traffic.

It. was just about this time that had formed his boom town back of Bellport, L. I. This place became known as Boomertown. It was said that nearly a million dollars was sunk there by investors in sand dunes and scrub oak.

A few huts mark the spot where a wonderful city was to be built. Dunton built an experimental railroad a mile and a half in length, carrying out the idea of the single rail elevated road, with electricity as the motive power. This road was used to demonstrate the capabilities of such a railroad. It was approved by several capitalists, but everybody seemed chary of putting money into the enterprise. Long Island business men and residents decided that it would be a great thing for the island.

and they subscribed about 000 in sums of from $25 to $1,000. Nearly $70.000 of this was paid in. After the Long Island Railroad Company, and other interests, had defeated the Dunton company before the State Railroad Commission, Dunton made a bold stand, and announced that he would build the road, anyhow, after awhile. In the meantime, he said he would make money for this company by developing the submerged marsh lands in Jamaica Bay, to which he had a title given by the old town of Jamaica. He paid a dividend of per cent.

to the stockholders. This led others to invest. In 1897, the bicycle railroad idea was practically abandoned and Dunton tried to have all the funds of the company diverted to the land improvement scheme. Desmond Dunne of Brooklyn was secretary of the company at that time and he, with other directors, refused to permit the money of the stockholders to be used for a purpose other than that for which it was subscribed. Rather than consent to the new scheme, Mr.

Dunne and other directors resigned. It is said that the company's rights were then transferred to the Co-operative Society of New Jersey, which planned to build a Venice in Jamaica Bay. August Immig, of Baldwin. L. who had been interested in the original bicycle railroad company, wAS made president of this co-operative society, The Co-operative Society of New Jersey gave an option of its rights to the Industrial Federation of America, with Peter Garrahan, president, and with Mr.

Dunton as one of the Incorporators. Dunton afterward released all his rights to land under water in Jamaica Bay, giving the City of New York of absolute title to the land. The Industrial Federation was changed into the National Industrial Federation, with the same alluring prospectus. Several labor union leaders were interested in the enterprise and it was from laborers that the dollars were collected to run the concern. Quite a fight was made on Mr.

Dunton after he surrendered his title to the city. The following dispatches from Boston and in West Newbury. tell of the recent developments in Mr. Boynton's life: Boston. April 5-E.

Moody Boynton, West Newbury, a well known inventor, filed a voluntary petition in bankruptey yesterday. The liabilities are $106,101, with assets of not more than $300, the greater part of which is exempt. There are about fifty creditors, thirty whom have judgments against Mr. Boynton. as indorser of notes for borrowed money.

Among the creditors are the following: National City Bank of New York. Tradesmen's National Bank of New York, $2,700: Mutual Life Insurance Company New York. $1,200: Singer Mimick Company, Pittsburg, Edward F. Coffin, Newburyport, $14.038: First National Bank of Newburyport, $20,000. In the petition Mr.

Boynton describes himself as a farmer, and his assets include the deed of a heavily mortgaged farm which" given a value of 81. West Newbury, April 4-E.

The time expired without any work on the system having been done, and the charter was revoked. Mr.

Boynton 1 established one of his "bicycle railroads" at Coney Island. New York, several years ago, and succeeded in interesting a number New York capitalists in his invention, but as yet it has not been put into practical operation. The inventor claimed ed for his system that a speed of more than 100 miles an hour could be reached and maintained. HUMAN SKELETON UNEARTHED.

In Many Districts Local Considerations Are Paramount- Broken Pledge in Seventeenth A. D. That many of the so-called Tammany leaders in Brooklyn are disappointed in the treatment they have received from Charles F. Murphy, and that as a result some of the more pronounced of them are likely to go over to Senator McCarren in the coming primary contests in this borough, was indicated by former Assemblyman Otto Wicke, to who is opposing Deputy County Clerk Denis Winter for the leadership of the Twentieth Assembly District. Mr.

Wicke was the Tammany candidate for leader in that district last year. He was defeated by Mr. Winter, who supported Senator McCarren, but who according to some of his former friends has lately shown evidence of a desire to be taken into Tammany Hall. Mr. Wicke, who is going to attempt 10 wrest the leadership of the district from Winter again at the September primaries, declared to-day that he represents neither James Shevlin nor Tammany Hall in his fight against Winter, but that if he is successful in fight against Winter, and the people of his district and the delegates to the County Committee desire that he support Senator McCarren in the County Executive Committee ho will do 50.

Mr. Wicks said that the real Tammany man in the Twentieth District is Mr. Winter himself, and that he can prove that Mr. Winter has solicited the aid of Charles F. Murphy.

While Mr. Wicke is the first of the former Tammany men to declare that he is not fighting for Tammany Hall or Charies F. Murphy, it is said that there are at least a couple of others who are preparing to come out and announce that, it successful in their primary fights, they will stand by Senator McCarren as against Tammany Hall. In fact, it is expected that there will be a re-alignment of the McCarren and the Tammany torces in the coming primaries, jud5ing by the widespread aissatisfaction existing among the former Tammany men; that is, the men who made the primary tights for Mr. Murphy in the last primaries in Brooklyn, against the methods of the ammany leader.

In some districts by the time the primaries roll around it will probably be found that the men who fought last summer for Tammany Hail will be lined up with Senator McCarren for the purpose of maintaining the independence of the lyn regular Democratic organization. On the other hand, one two feriner McCarre: leaders may be found on the side of Mr. Murphy. Senator McCarren, it is believed, will derive all the benefit from this re-alignment of the opposing Democratic forces. In almost every instance where a former McCarren leader has indicated his intention to support the Tammany leader at the next primaries it was for the purpose of selfprotection.

One or two of the NicCarren men came within an ace last summer of being defeated at the primaries. These, to save themselves, now propose to go over to Tam- Mr. Donnelly. "When the Democratic General Committee issued a call to all the Assembly district committees to meet at the respective headquarters and organize for the year 1905 those six gentlemen who tried to overthrow Mr. Donnelly held a meeting on the night before the date set for the regular meeting.

They met at Mr. Cochrane's house and elected him executive member. They did this notwithstanding that there was and is a regular headquarters at 351 Tompkins avenue, where all business of the district is transacted and they also disobeyed the general committee by holding a meeting on a date other than that designated in the resolution. In this they broke all pledges of loyalty to the Democratic organization, ignored its instructions and went directly against the will of the majorty of the Democrats of the Seventeenth District who had elected Mr. Donnelly to the leadership at the primaries.

of what value are pledges signed by men who would disobey the Democratic organization and try to overthrow A leadership clearly indicated by the Democrats of their own district?" many Hall, while the men who fought them will be ranged on the side of Senator MicCarren. Another element that has served to bring about the indications of a re-alignment of the opposing Democratic forces is the fact that in many of the Assembly districts the fights are purely local, the issue of autonomy not entering into the contests at all. Many of the present Assembly district leaders, both McCarren and anti-McCarren men, have had fights on their hands for years, even before the trouble between Senator McCarren and Tammany Hall broke out, an? their opponents have simply taken the opside or the other. between McCarren a and Murphy to take one portunity that has been afforded by the break Districts in which the fights may be said to be purely local are the Fourth, the Sixth, the Twelfth. the Sixteenth and the Twentieth.

There would have been fights in those districts last year, and again this year, even though the falling out between Senator MeCarren and Charles F. Murphy had never taken place. Deputy County Clerk Winter, who, according to former Assemblyman Wicke, who is opposing him for the leadership of the Twentieth District, is a Tammany, and not a McCarren, man, despite the fact that the delegates from the Twentieth to the County General Committee are pledged to Senator McCarren, is threatened from another source, Former County Clerk P. P. Huberty, in a letter to the Eagle yesterday, declared that he is out against Mr.

Winter. making the same accusation against Mr. Winter as Mr. Wicke, to the effect that the leader of the Twentieth is trying to turn the people of that district over to Tammany Hall. Mr.

Huberty charges Mr. Winter with being a political acrobat and declares that the latter does not properly represent the district. Mr. Winter, when seen to-day, in reply to the letter of Mr. Huberty said: "I am not worrying about Mr.

Huberty. All I have to say is that I look out after my district day and night. That is more than caD be said about some other people." Edward J. Gilgannon, one of the delegates to the County General Committee from the Seventeenth Assembly District, who deserted Senator McCarren for Tammany Hall, after signing a pledge with Joseph P. Donnelly, the new Tammany leader of the district, to support the Brooklyn leader, made a statement to-day, in which said: "That pledge was repudiated and dissolved months ago by six of the gentlemen who signed it.

when they tried oust Mr. Donnelly from the leadership to which he was elected by the Democrats of the district: when they tried to thwart the will of the Democrats who voted for Donnelly's election at the last primaries and held a rump convention at which they elected Henry F. had no right to do. It was A not the first time Cochrane as executive member, which they they attempted to overthrow Mr. Donnelly and run the regular district association as a close corporation for their benefit.

They tried to put Judge Naumer's name in place of that of Mr. Donnelly until I protested. This occurred in the office of S. S. Whitehouse and former Judge Thomas J.

Kenna was present and disapproved the substitution of Judge Naumer's name for that of ACCUSES A NEGRO, Walter Z.
