The lecture was the, second of Mr. Holmes' course under the auspices of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. Few finer lantern pho.

togrnpns nave been thrown on -a screen than those which the audience hi Association Hall applauded almost without Intermission last In commencing Bis lecture Mr. Jlotmcs commented on the so-cnllcd conceit of Japan in demanding a place among the great na tlons and said that Japan, was almost en titled to such conceit for she had acquired In fifty years what It had taken the othoi nations of the earth many centuries to ac hieve. It was, however, not with modern Japan, but with the old and pleturosaue features ofMhe country that the lecture dealt In large part. Colored pictures of beautiful lagoons dotted with the cumbersome, impossible junkswere shown and then come the landing gn the very modern whnrf with Us crowd of Jlnrlkshas, the two-wheeled, liuggy-shaped, man-propelled vehicle that Is universal all over Japan. Motion pictures showed the lively manner In which these little vehicles are pulled about.

The lecturer said that the rate for their hire, as for almost everything else In Is absurdly cheap. One may have a junrlksha for about seven and a half cents an hour and may hire one for an entire day for a half dollar. No talk about Japan would be complete without some reference to the Geisha and perhaps no presentation of the personality and characteristics of these pretty 'little dancing girls hus ever been given which was quite so complete as that by Mr. Holmes last evening. Photographs of some of the girls were shown and demonstrated Instant- their right to the claim of beauty and fas cination that Is made for them by so many travelers.

Then In motion pictures they went though many of their dances for the ex press edification of the motion picture; ma chine and the audience which It was to reach. Beginning with several pictures of the col ossal statue of Gautama Buddha has stood overlooking the sea for many centur- cs, the lecturer took his audience on trip through some of the temples of Jppan, temples which scarcely seemed to autreest religious thought to American eyes, but which were of wonderful beauty, full of the daintiest carvings, with the grotesque and the- beautiful strangely mixed, afhen came the pictures of Tokto with Its of cherry trees, white with blossoms and a no- able and remarkably beautiful series of flower pictures, including chrysanthemums, thelotus and the Iris. More motion iiictures howed a crowd of Janpanese feeding a verv ame flock of pigeons, others a local cele bration with its procession and gaietv and others more Geslha dances. The lecture was brought to a close with some beautiful nlc- ures of the great snow covered Japanese peak, Fujiyama. Mr.

Holmes' lecture on Japan will be re peated In Association Hall this afternoon. COLORED PREACHER'S ELOQUENCE It Raised S500 la Three Minjites at Prayer Meeting. After the Rev. Xewell Dwlght Hlllis. pas- iui oi i-iymouin unurcn.

HOW SOME OF IT IS SPENT, COST OF THE WOBK AND PROP ERTY AWARDS. The Mayor's Commissioners of Ac- counts Investigated the Books and Pound Them 0. K. The New East River Bridge Commission held a mooting yesterday afternoon In the Manhattan offlces, 49 Chambers street.

The most Important Incident was the receipt of a report from the Commissioners of Ac counts of an Investigation of the affairs of the commission. The report Is a lengthy document signed 'bv Commissioners Hertle and Owen, and contains details of the receipts and expend! tures of the commission since the organ izatlon In August. 1S95 to the end of the year. 1898. Regarding progress made In the construe tlon of the bridge during tt'he years 1S08- and 1899 the report reads as follows: to lock of appropriations very little progress was made on the work Jur lng 1898; but at the time of this writing (December 1899), the- tower, foundation and anchorages on both sides of the rfver are nearly completed.

"On February 21, 1899, contract was exece.t ed to the New Jersey Steel and Iron Com party for the construction of the steel tow ers and end spans. Amount of contract, Jl 230,230. "Construction of this contract Is now well "under way. "On December 9, 1899, a contract was en tered Into with the John A. Roebllng Sons for the construction of the steel ctbles, suspenders, amount of contract, 398,000, which Is now pending the approval of the Comptroller.

"It is a satisfaction to state within the province of our 'examination, the adminis tration Of the affairs of the new East River Bridge Commission -under the present Com mlssloners, Is all that it shoulde. Tbelr accounts and records are kept In orderly, in telllgent shape and no criticism, in our opin ion, can be offered as to proper office methods and bookkeeping. "In our report of January 17, 1898, we call ed your Honor's attention to the amount J67.379.91 charged on the books to expense ac count up to December 31, 1897. "An analysis of this account disclosed the fact that of the total amount of $37,379. 91.

$46,177.68 was for legal expenses; of which was paid to William Q. Choate and Henry C. Ingrahm. "As a contrast, we call your Honor's attention to the fact that during the year 1898, no payments for counsel fees or other legal expenses have been made." The tabulated statements attached to the report show that on December 31, 1897, there was a balance on hand of $90,156.18 in the Commission's treasury. This was increased to $3,204,086.18 by the Issuance of bonds authorized by the Board of Estimate.

At the end of the year 1898, the balance wns Included In the expenditures for the year 1898 were the following payroll commissioners, pay-roll, officers and appointeeB, real property, New York tower foundations, Brooklyn tower foundations, New York, anchorage, Brooklyn anchorage, rent, sundry expense, furniture and fixtures. 5203.51; engineer's supplies, engineer's personal property, advertising, appraisal, consulting engineer, inspecting engineer, sewer account, $600; gas main, $315.35. Total expenditures, $1,369,573.81. The statement of the total receipts and expenditures from the organization of the com mission in August, 1895 to December 31, 1898. shows the total of proceeds from sale of bonds to be $3,188,580, and the total expend! tures, $2,354,067.63.

A Progressive Insurance Company. 8everol of the prominent lnsurancecom-'panles have already Issued preliminary state-menu, which announce some of the most Important features of the detailed statement which will appear later. Among these companies is the Provident Savings Life, whose advance report for the year 1899 has been before the public this week. The company makes several announcements which should be most gratifying to Its policy holders, lor both the aggressive spirit and the careful management of the company are shown by the figures It presents.

It received $.15,000,000 of application's for new Insurance, upon which It Issued policies amounting to more than $47,000,000, which Is an Increase Of over the amount Issued by the company last year. Its outstanding Insurance in force shows an increase. of over 15 per cent. The company reports no death claims due and unpaid. During the twenty-five years of Its existence It has returned to Its policy holders a sum In excess of $17,000,000.

These 'decided advances have been accomplished at a ratio of less than the ratio for tho year 1S38. of of oi IDE POLIflGf BOSS, Color Addresses tho Massachusetts Eeform Club. ATTEND PRIMARIES, SAYS HE. GIVES BOSTONIANS SOME POINTS ON PRACTICAL REFORM. Believes That Delegates to Conventions Should be Elected by a Direct Vote of the People.

Comptroller Bird S. Color addressed the Massachusetts Reform Club In Boston lattt night on the subject of the political boss and how he may be eliminated. Mr. Coler spoke In part as follows: Mr. President nnd gentlemen: A New York politician must needs feel some embarrassment when he enters for the (Irst time the home of the greatest refornt or ganization In the world, but the kindness nnd sincerity your welcome has almost convinced me that we are nearlng the dawn of that happy day when nil politicians und all reformers shall stand' united for better politics and better government.

To the extent of doing my utmost in the interest of honesty and economy in city government Ll may claim to be a reformer In a small way, and therefore In eympathy -with the purposes of your organization and your meeting to-night; but, In order that there be no misunderstanding of my position, I will say at the outset that I believe in party organization. I wish to present some Views of my own on the general subject of political organiza tion, which includes the party boss and the party machine. Having taken some smajl part in politics In New York, I can speak ns one who has studied the boss and the ma chine at close range. The political machine Is legitimate party organization narrowed to one-man power, and machine politician the man who Is in; the reformer the man who Is out. The practical politician finds it easier to fool all the people some time than to obey tho will of the people all the time.

He builds his machine of popular political policy, paints It with promises, drives It with greed for spoils, and with It he cuts a short road to public office, power, patronage and wealth. The machine. In Its primitive state is a harmless It may be made an engine of destruction or a step ladder to good government. The political machine Is sometimes made odious to good citizens, but it is never wholly bad In Itself. It Is a fix-lure in American politics and while It.

may be broken and rebuilt, cleaned and reformed, It cannot be eliminated. Tho men who rail loudest against It, as a rule, are ever ready to use It or its broken parts as stepping stones to place and power, even to a boss ship. Contrary to popular belief a party leader cannot make a political machine. The party makes the machine, the machine makes the leader, and then the leader makes himself a boss. A leader of a party is never a boss, because leadership Implies followers, and a boss does not lead, he drives, and the machine is his vehicle, the individ ual members of it his driven cattle.

"The corrupt political machine of to-day, controlled by a boss, Is contrary to the American system of government, and were It uiot a terrible reality its creation would be deemed an impossibility. It Is, in It present state of perfection, rule of the people by the Individual for the boss, hi relatives and friends. It is the most com plete political despotism ever known, and yet the political machine on which the boss rises as dictator and despot is based on the fundamental principle of Democracy, that system of government wherein all men are supposed to. be equal and every voter a sovereign. The building of the political ma- chines begins whenever a Question of policy to demand united party action.

The frame Is laid In the party caucus or mass meetine. where every voter may be heard. There the necessity for organization Cs made apparent, and a committee is created. That Is the work of the voters of a party in a particular and the first committee Is the creation ofa majority. So far the plan of procedure IS perfect.

It is essentially Democratic, majority rule. The good citizens who constructed the original pieces of the party mechanism and helped put them together ready for the hand of the boss are surprised when they find that they no longer have any power in politics. They willnot that It is their own fauft that they have ftto voice In the selection of candidates or the making of a party platform, and that legislation is soir.ething to be bought and sold. They cry out against the boss and charge him with deep and dark conspiracy against their rights. In this country there can be no govern ment without the consent of the governed.

There can be no political boss without the peaceful submission of the voters who are bossed. All party organization Is political machinery. All political machines are use ful and harmless when controlled by a party as a whole. They become engines for the destmctlonof good government whenleft to the control of unscrupulous professional politicians. Every political machine can be destroyed by the power, that created It.

Party bosses, despots and dictators can be overthrown only by their own party. "To overthrow a boss successfully he must be defeated by his own party. When defeated by the opposition his friends will rally round him and he will probably carry the next election. 'To reform parties and overthrow bosses you must begin at the bottom. You must get the people to vote at primary elections and extend the primary system until It takes the place of the packed convention and the corrupt caucus that merely register the will of one man.

I believe that all'party nominations for office In a city, town or county should be made by a direct vote of the mem bers of that party cast at a primary election conducted under legal regulations and safeguards as complete as those provided for general elections. 'To make State and national conventions truly representative of the people nnd the great political parties, I believe that every delegate should be elected by a direct vote of the members of his party in his Btate, city or county. This system Is not new. It has been tried In several States In the South and West. In South Carolina.

Alabama and Mississippi candidates for Governor are nominated at party primaries by secret ballot. The system has worked so well that the Democrats of these States have accepted It as a party law. Mr. President snd gentlemen, the voters of this country who are arrayed under the banners of opposing political parties are mostly honest men. When all the 'people vote at party primaries, when nominations are made by the rank and file of Demo crats and Republicans, we shall have tetter politics and better government."

Secretary Boot's Eeoommendations Are Analyzed. 1 MERITSHOULD MAKE PROMOTION OFFICERS WHO HAVE DONE SOME THING PREFERRED. Politics Must be Removed from the Service if Stability is to be Main- tained Hamilton's Comment. (Special to the Brooklyn Times.) WASHINGTON, D. Jan.

third and fourth of the things that Secretary Root holds the preparation of an army for war Involves are: "Third An adequate process of selection according to merit snd effectiveness among the officers of the sq-that the men tit superior ability and power may be known and placed In positions Involving responsi bility and authority. "Fourth Tho exercise and training of the officers and men of the Army In tho move ments of large bcdles of troops by brigade, division and corps, under conditions ap proaching as nearly as possible those to be anticipated in executing the plans devised for their action In war." It Is much ceasler to lay down the third of these propositions than It Is to curry It out in a way to produce tho 'best results yet the power of selection, according; to merit and effectiveness, should be reposed by law In the authorities responsible for the care and efficiency of the Army. This power of selection should run through the whole military establishment, from the top to the bottom, and should include in its scope the commanding General as well as the young est lieutenant. It now exists In an unlimit ed extent as to the non-commlssloned or warrant officers, and to a limited, extent as to commissioned officers. What la need ed, therefore, Is not a new power of selec tion In the case of commissioned officer; but an extension and regulation of a power already existing In a minor degree.

Com missioned officers are now required to pass an examination for promotion from one grade to another. If a candidate for promo tion falls to pass his examination, he Is not promoted; but remains in the lower grad. untl another opportunity for promotion oc-cursj when he Is again examined. If he falls to pass the second examination his chances of promotion are at an end, and he Is either placed on the retired list pr dropped from the Army altogether. This power of selection Is still further limited Lby the fact that commissioned officers from second lieutenant to Colonel are ordered before examining boards for promotion by seniority of commission.

This Is determined by a glance at the Army register. If full power of selection were conferred upon the proper authorities in time of peace, and if It were exercised with Intelligence and without favoritism, it would, as the Secre tary says, "afford an Incentive to exertion and reward for professional attainments and effective service, while stimulating the de velopment of the capable officer and bring ing to the front the men best able to Jear responsibility and perform the difficult ties to be confronted in actual hostilities. This is the bright side of the shield. But if this ppwer of selection is to be subject in practice to social and political influences Its existence would be a calamity to tne army andlsastrous to the country, This is the dark side of the shield. That the danger of this very thing Is not imaginary Is amply demonstrated by the unfortunate experience of the past.

When heretofore the power of selection for appointments to or promotions In the army, or of details to attractive duties or pleasant posts, has ex isted In an unlimited degree, Its exercise almost always has been controlled by social or political influences. Nowhere has this ben better known or more bitterly resented jmn ine army, yet the army has been helpless to prevent the practise. Coneress can so legislate as to minimize these evils, and will legislate if the people, their consti tuents, demand -it. The people owe It to themselves to demand such legislation, for wnne It Is the army that suffers in the first Instance from the favoritism that flows rrom the social or political pull, It Is the people wno. sutler in the last Instance.

The men who make the laws and the men who carry them out, the Senators and Representatives In Congress, the President, and the Secretary of War, owe their positions to Just these social and political Influences against which the army must be Jealously euarded If it Is to be what the people ought to demand that It be, an efficient and effective military machine, and unless it be that It has no reason to exist at all. Difficult phase of the problem Is as regards the regular army, It is simple as compared with that which confronts us when we come to consider the volunteer army. The regular army is small, and always -will be small compared with the needs of the country in war. To make It what It ihould be, a model military establishment presents no insuperable difficulties for either the legislative or executive branch of the Gov ernment, If only the, former brings to the work intelligence, the latter honesty of purpose, and both patriotism. The form of intelligence which is required in that which is capable of discarding the idea that we Americans -are "superior to everybody else and know It all because by the help of France we won our Independence from Great Britain and maintained It her at a time when she was exerting her whoie trength of men and money to destroy Na poleon; because we defeated Mexico when country was rent by Internal factions; oecause we put down the secession move ment by force of arms after a long and doubtful struggle, or because we crushed decayed Spain in a few weeks.

We accomplished none of these things by reason of the Intelligent foresight that leads to preparation for an emergency, for as a nation we have never displayed that quality. Our legislators should have the Intelligence to learn from our own experience and from that of others as well. In this, hindsight may be transformed Into foresight. Wher ever a foreign army has a better military systenY In whole or In part than ours, a bet ter formation for any arm of Its service, a better method of supplying Its troops In peace or war, a better general staff, better drill regulations, better guns, better powder, better Implements and materials of war gen erally or specifically In short better any thing than ours, the legislative and executive branches of our Government Should have the ntelllgence to know It, and the ability and Willingness to profit by It. No war in the future should find us In 'the state of unpreparedness that the" Spanish War did, a condition for which Congress and the people are themselves alone to blame.

Our speedy success demonstrated not our superior preparation, but the Inferior preparation of our enemy; not our strength, but his If we continue to let the future take care of.

There is but one thing In connection with this phase of the subject that need be said by way of explanation, and that the Secretary has stated very clearly. It Is that The collection of large bodies of men presents not the same difficulties presented bj a small body, multiplied or Increased In degree, but entirely new difficulties which only experience can qualify men to meet." The care, the discipline, the sanitation and many of the duties of a large body of men. as a division, a corps, or army, are new to men who before have dealt only with a company or a regiment. It is idle to expect high, let alone the highest; efficiency from those In command of such large bodies in war unless they have had previous experi ence In peace in the duties thus suddenly devolved upon them. Congress has never pro vided any -way 'In which the men who are to bear the burdens of these responsibilities in war could or can In peace gain the experience that would be so useful, not so much to themselves, but to ttfnse with whose care they are charged, Will Congress continue remiss In this matter, or will It exerclBe in telligent foresight In its military legislation C.

The chorus Itself, however, will be the chief attraction. It has a membership of upwards of 1.200. and the actual attendance at the rehearsals at Cooper Union on Sunday afternoons has been between 900 and 1.000. It is expeoted that 1.000 members of the union, pr so many as can get on the Academy stage, will be present on the twenty-ninth. This chorus consists almost exclusively of persons who have gained their onlv musical education through the People's Singing Classes, but far from, needing any allowance for that reason, the chorus sings with a precision of attack, a clarity of enunciation, and.
