Captain Kemp of Company had a conference with several members, in the course of which he suggested that the organization make a trip to some camping ground in either Long Island or Xew Jerey.

HUTHIIS. They Are Accused of Having No Licenses. CHUNG FOY'S NOVEL PLEA. 1 A- Said He Lost Hia Certificate Examination of Others Pnt OS Till October. The examination of the Chinese laundry, men who were arrested in a raid made two weeks ago by Chinese Immigration Inspectors Jewett and Issard wag begun before United States Commissioner Benedict in the Federal Building this morning, and one Lee Wee wae discharged on producing hit certificate.

Lee On, Lee Guy. Lee Kit and Young Bong were surrendered by their bondsmen, and all other cases except that of Chung Foy was adjourned unti 2. In the case of Chung Foy his counsel asked that it go on, as he had been, confined in jail for some time, and that he was ready to offer evidence that the man had duly registered and was entitled to be discharged. To this Ccmmlssioner Benedict consented nnd called upon official interpreter, May Jung, to Interpret the questions. The matter of how the oath should be adniiniotered was discussed, when Assistant Vnited States District Attorney Howell said: "There is no necessity of cutting off any chickens' heads here, and I believe the usual oath will answer." Chung Fny was then put on the stand and said he had been eighteen years in the Tnited aud had registered and received bis Chinese laborer's certificate in 1S04.

That at the time he wa living in Mott street, Manhattan. His certificate had been lost about four years ago when he moved from Halsey street. When he registered, he said, he had several witnesses to the fact, among whom was an American citizen, who wag known to him aa Lung Lee in Chinese. The name be gave was Chin Foy to inspectors, which was signed on the certificate both in English aud Chinese. As.

to the loss of his certificate, he said that lie left it in a box in the Halsey street laundry and that in going back to get it found that the place had been cleared out and the paper lost. On cross-examination Chung Foy" said that he registered in the City Hall, Manhattan, and thnt he signed his name to the certificate in Chinese only, as he could not read or write in English. Ling Lu was then called, and turned out to be Domingo deLnee. a naturalized Spaniard, who said that he had gone to the Chinese Immigration Commissioners in 185)4 In April or May. when Chin Foy registered and mnde his mark as a witness to the cer-tifieate.

The office of the commissioners, he said, wns at that time at No. 114 Nassau street. Inspector Issard said that the inspectors had written to Washington to find out If any such name as Chin Foy had been registered at the time mentioned, and the reply was to the effect that no such name could be found. Mr. Issard admitted, however, that the building at No.

114 Nas-snn street had since been burned and the original certificates destroyed, bnt that the stubs with the records were in Washington and BRked that. Chung Foy be held until another inspection of these stubs could be made for any name resembling that of Chin Foy. Counsel for Chin Foy sked for'hig discharge on the ground that he had proved by an American citizen that his client had registered and had complied with the law. Commissioner Benedict paroled Chin Foy in the custody of his counsel. Counselor Joseph A.

Kennedy appeared Inter for Lee On, and, on furnishing the required f.VK) bail, he was released pending examination on Oct- 2. BOYS EXPLODED GASOLINE. Six Were Injured and Two Expected to Die Flambers Left the Can la the Cellar. PORTSMOUTH, N. Aug.

"The Pennsylvania Steel Company, which has the contract for all the remaining steel work, is required by contract to finish its work within eight months after the cables and suspenders therefrom are finished. The cables and suspenders are expected to be ready from present indications, by Sept. 1.

I have received from the Pennsylvania Steel Company strong assurances that they will finish their contract within the eight months, that is, before June 1, 1903. Thereafter about three months are required for completing the roadways, so that the completion of the bridge may be looked for by Oct. 1, 1903, barring unforeseen delay's. "The working out of the architectural features of this bridge has been placed in the bands of Mr. Henry F.

Hornbostel, architect, who will also furnish the plans for the necessary rooms required for toll collectors and for purposes of storage, toilet and shelter, for which no provision was made in the original plans. "It would also be very desirable to make the roadway between the anchorages entirely fireproof by means of buckle plate and asphalt flooring instead of the wooden flooring provided in the original plans. "On the Brooklyn Bridie, which has a wooden flooring, a number of fires have occurred, which have been put out promptly. Experience there teaches the necessity of providing a better and more fireproof construction on all new and important bridges. A fire would not only cause dam age by warping of the iron work, but ft might eventually heat the cables and impair their strength a most fatal effect if it should happen to a structure of such cost as this one." The Manhattan Bridge, Commissioner Lindeathal regards as probably the most important.

avenue, between the Jboroughs. It appears that the plans for this structure have also been changed, the main changes being In the style of cables and making the roadway fireproof. Blackwell's Island Bridge. The report on the Blackwell's Island Bridge is as follows: "The original plana for this bridge provided that the superstructure should have a width of 120 feet. The plans have been revised, so as to reduce the width to eighty feet, without in any way decreasing the capacity of the bridge, for it will then accommodate four trolley tracks, two elevated railroad tracks, one wide roadway and two promenades, and also, to make the bridge fireproof, no wood to be used for the roadway or elsewhere.

"In the original plans no provision had been made for reaching Blackwell's Island, either by stairways or by" elevators. The Department of Charities and also that of Correction have urgently asked for that accommodation, both departments having important institutions located on that island, which can be reached only by watet and in the daytime. "The revised plans provide for stairways' and elevators to the island, also for the necessary shelter rooms for toll collectors and storage rooms on the two anchorag piers. "These added features necessitated certain changes of detail in all six piers. As the architectural and aesthetir features of the plans require the aproval of the Municipal Art Commission, under section 637 of DELAY BRIDGE RELIEF.

(Continued from First Fage.) kept oiled and lubricated. A number of tests have been made on full size rods removed from the structure, and in every instance the ultimate strength developed was from ten to twelve times greater than the maximum load which the rod would be required to sustain in the bridge. A breaking of rods or other important bridge ts is now impossible without immediate detection. The bridge is In a safer and stronger condition than it has ever before fceen since its completion. "The portion of the roadways used for vehicles has been replanked with 2-inch thick spruce planks, and a number of the lower deck planks have been taken but and replaced with new material.

"The steel work of the Franklin Square Bridgs, the exterior and interior of the Brooklyn station, the exterior of the Manhattan station and the floor beams and girders of the Brooklyn land span have been cleaned and carefully painted.
