a the the THE BROOKLYN TIMES, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1902. CANNON NEXT SPEAKER? PRESENT INDICATIONS POINT TO HIS SUCCESSION TO HENDERSON'S PLACE. Other Candidates, However, Are in the Field -Chairmanships Upset by Tuesday's Returns--Uncle Sam's, Big General Store. (Special to the Times.) WASHINGTON, Nov. the elections over and the certainty of Republican control in the next Congress established; the principal subject of discussion among pollticians in Washington is the reorganization of the House.

The contest for the Speakership is not expected to develop in earnest until the opening of Congress in December. The indications now are that the leading will be Representative Cannon, candidates, Representative Littlefield, of Maine; Representative Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, and Sherman, of New York, although others are likely to become candidates. The friends of Mr. Cannon here are so confident that he will be made Speaker that they are predicting his success in the Republican caucus by a unanimous vote. It is understood that he has received letters from a large number of members of the House, indorsing' I is candidacy and pledging him their votes a also their Influence with the new member Mr.

Cannon has for many years been one of the most conspicuous figures in Congress. He has directed the appropriations of the Government through his connection with the House Committee on Appropriations, of which he is Chairman, with much ability. Despite the somewhat arbitrary position he has taken with reference to all questions influencing the expenditure of Government funds he has no real enemies in the House. On the contrary, few men in Congress are so generally popular. The election returns show that Republicans have made gains in Illinois and that the Republican membership from that State in the next Congress will be larger than in the present one.

When Mr. Reed left Congress, Mr. Cannon and Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, were both mentioned as candidates for the Speakership and the candidacy of Mr. Hopkins resulted in the detriment to the candidacy of Mr.

Cannon. The Illinois delegation was divided and the Speakership went to Gen. Henderson, of Iowa. If Mr. Hopkins were to be 8 member of the next House that phase of the former contest would doubtless be repeated, as Mr.

Hopkins has for many years been ambitious to become Speaker. The Republican Legislature which was elected in Illinois last Tuesday will elect him to succeed Senator William E. Mason. This leaves a clear field for Mr. Cannon, 80 far as the support of his own State delegation is concerned.

The assertion of his friends that he is the strongest candidate for the Speakership is based largely upon the belief that he will receive the support of the entire middle West to start with and that his strength with other delegations will result in his election. Representative Littlefield is one of the ablest debaters in the House, but he has personal strength, besides he has a bad record. He has bolted his party whenever he felt like doing so and has voted with the Democrats on some of the highest questions of party pollcy. Few observers of the situation believe he can win. While some doubts are expressed as to the success of Mr.

Dalzell in the contest It, is generally agreed that 'he' would a splendid presiding officer and he would fill all the duties of Speaker as well as any other man in the House. It is believed here that President Roosevelt would rather see Mr. Dalzell elected than any of the other candidates. Mr. Sherman was a candidate four years ago, but was unable to get the solid support of' the New York delegation, owing to the candidacy of Chairman Payne, of the Committee on Ways and Means.

He is a man of much ability and would make a splendid Speaker. It is likely that the contest will be practically settled during the coming short session' of Congress. New Speaker's Responsibilities. The new Speaker will have several important chairmanships to dispose of, for several of the prominent Republicans who fell outside the breastworks last Tuesday were Chairmen of committees. Representative Mercer, of Omaha, who was defeated as the result of the factional quarrel among the Republicans, is Chairman of the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, one of the most desirable positions in the House.

Representative Gillette, of New York, who ranks second on that committee, will probably be promoted to the Chairmanship. The defeat of Representative Loud, of California, removes the Chairman of the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads. For this place another New York member, Gen. John H. Ketcham, is in line.

Gen. Ketcham is a very old man, and some of his friends here say that he will not care to assume as much hard work as the Chairmanship of the committee named involves. Representative Smith, of Illinois, now stands third on the committee, and with Gen. Ketcham eliminated there is no doubt that Mr. Smith will make an effort to obtain the appointment.

THe defeat of Representative Reeves, of Illinois, will occasion the appointment of a new Chairman of the Committee on Patents, and the defeat of Representative Bull, of Rhode will leave a vacancy in the Chairmanship of the Committee on Accounts. A new Chairman will also be appointed for the Committee on the Census. Representative Hopkins is now Chairman of that committee, and Mr. Acheson, of Pennsylvania, who ranks second, it is 'can have the appointment as Chairman if he desires it. A successor to Galusha Grow, of Pennsylvania, who will not be in the next Congress, as Chairman on the Committee of Education, will also be made necessary.

There are several other committees, most of them important, for which new Chairmen must be. selected. Uncle Sam's Big General Store. The annual report, of Gen. John F.

Weston, Commissary General of the Army, shows that the United States Government manages one of the largest general stores in the world. The report shows that "meals for recruiting parties, -and recruits and -troops moving cost for one year $227,284.98," and that "liquid coffee for troops traveling" cost $26,902.15. The cost of ice was $233,569.17, and fees and wages to inspectors and "miscellaneous small employments" ate up $366,749.72. The Commissary Department is not only a purchaser and consumer, but has thousands of customers for its wares, and the report states that officers purchased from the department to the extent of $21,538.22, and the sales to enlisted men amount to more than $65,000. There are few debts, because accollected through the pay decounts are but it appears that despite the partment; close 'examination and careful Inspection to which merchandise is subjected, some comstores must be condemned, and the missary for the year In -that line was more than loss $300,000.

Gen. Weston says: "The prices paid, with all expenses included, haye been very reasonable, and are in wide contrast with those paid for the British Army in South Africa, where the cost of a ration of beef alone delivered to the British Army in that section has equaled the cost of our entire ration of beef, flour, fresh and dried vegetables, fruit, coffee, sugar, delivered in Manila." HAMILTON. SOME POTTERY TALK. Brooklyn Society of Mineral Painters Have an Entertainment. The Brooklyn Society of Mineral Painters held an entertainment on Thursday evening last, for the benefit of the Educational Fund of the society, at the residence of Mrs.

Grove, 172 South Oxford street. Miss Louise Both- Hendriksen gave an interesting talk upon "'The Beautiful in the Ordinary and Useful," illustrating her remarks, which appealed to all those interested in ceramics, with specimens of pottery collected in Europe and America. The programme was supplemented by piano selections by Mrs. KraftHoneyman, which were warmly appreciated The society will hold their annual exhibition on December 2 and 3, in the Pouch Mansion On Wednesday last a regular meeting, of the society was held at the residence of Mrs. Baisely, 100 Ross street.

After the regular routine of business was disposed of, the members listened to several able papers, the theme of which was the work of prominent artists. Notably, Blashfield, Cox, mons and Walker, which were read by Mrs. Balseley and her associates on the mittee. At the conclusion of the programme a social hour was spent among the members present. MUSICAL.

Series of Concerts by Boston Symphony Orchestra Opens Well at the Academy. Music lovers had a treat at Academy of Music last night, when the Boston Symphony Orchestra gave their first concert of the season here. Of course, it is always more or less of a treat to hear this orchestra, whose superb equipment and training guarantees the finest orchestral interpretations to be heard in this country, and any variation in enjoyment is due to one's taste for the style of programme offered. Besides introducing Miss Elsa Ruegger, the young Belgian 'cellist, one of the newcomers of the present season, the concert co in question was rich in musical offering and in its ensemble effect made an irresistible appeal. The host of listeners that crowded the auditorium was representative of Brooklyn's intelligence and In their typical musical aspect the orchestral numbers were significant as well as having the element of interest.

They were the Beethoven "Leonore" overture No. 2, Bach's Overture or Suite No. 2, in minor, and Tschalkowsky's Symphony No. 5, in minor. A more logical arrangement of these, considering their musical character, would have brought Bach first, although this order might not be strictly in accordance with modern notions of programme making The Bach number gave us, the old contrapuntal style, the perfecting of which culminated in Bach; in the Beethoven overture we have something of a glimpse of the future in the evolution of musical form, and the Tschalkowsky symphony gives us the full fruition of modern so-called romanticism, which stands for of form to the expression of the and adaptation, fanciful conceptions of the composer as distinct from the intellectually formal restrictions of the classical, period represented by Bach.

Considered in this relation the programme was very Interesting as affording an opportunity for noting the contrast in style between musical 'specimens from the work of three great masters. Tschalkowsky had the advantage last night in that his symphony was more representative of his work than were the other two numbers of their respective composers, although an imitation was given of their essential characteristics in style. The Beethoven overture is one of four written for the opera "Fidello." It is not often heard and there 1s apt to be confusion in the public mind with the No. 3, which is similar in thematic material, and which is a remodelling of No. 2.

A preference for either may be largely a matter of taste, although the No. 3 seems to be more artistic and finished in workmanship. The Bach overture or suite (Bach called it an overture, but it is a series of pieces or movements such as are modernly classed as a suite) is a felicitous illustration of what the' old masters could with the early dance forms, with the exception of the first number, which is a particularly happy exposition of the fugue idea. To the vital significance of its musical content the 'Tschalkowsky expresses its emotion by means of an orchestration that '1s unusually rich. Besides giving forth its mess sage in the variegated garb of instrumental voicing, the symphony does not hold to the traditions of classical form, there being a pronounced scheme of thematic repetition throughout the four movements.

This has given rise to the bellef that this work stands for a definite conception as a tone picturethat it embodies some conception of emotional sequence, of which the composers gave no hint before his death. But whatever may be said of "its technical side there 19 little room for thought of this (for the at least) when one comes under the influence.of its vital charm. Miss. Ruegger made her first appearance in the metropolitan district at this concert and won a success, as she deserved She played the Rubinstein Concerto No. 2, in.

and played it with authority and distinction albeit her tone is not AS big and luscious as might be. But the quality of her work cannot fail. to win for her 'recognition an artist who is not only highly gifted, but exceptionally well trained. Her. playing is truly exquisite in finish and delicacy without being at.

Great Advance by the- Decent Element Is Promised for Next SummerIsland Will Be More Worth Visiting at Any RateAsphalting Begins. The hopes of Coney Island as a respectable resort are growing every day, and it seems that the time is fast approaching when the questionable places, which now permitted to exist there, will be entirely wiped out, and their places taken by more stantial buildings and a beter class of attractions. All of the credit of transforming Coney Island into a better and safer place may be given, except in one or two instances, to outside people and strangers, who have never been interested in the place before. The regulars the Coney Island prefer to be left entirely alone, and do not care to have strangers come into the place and cut up their trade. But several amusement promoters have learned that a clean and respectable attraction can make money at Coney, and thither they have gone, and are now in a fair way toward establishing a lot of brand-new places of resort amusement, "ran which even women children and may find plenty to amuse them and without danger of being shocked by vulgar pictures or language.

The saloon and dive interests have held sway at Coney Island for years, and very little attempt has been made to prevent their growth. Each succeeding year brings many persons of disreputable character to the island, armed with a license, and on May 1 this person "opens up" for business. The word "hotel" is also to be seen. From May 1 to October 1 the trade at the place is made up of young girls who entice men to the back roms, where they rid them of their money. In this place and in others of a like character young women are shamefully treated by bartenders, bouncers and waiters employed there, but in spite of the fact that the victims make complaint, nothing is ever done, and the crime is permitted to continue.

Several times has one individual in Coney Island been complained of both by men who have been robbed and by young girls who have outrageously treated in the place of which he is the proprietor, but he is still to be found at the same old stand, and boasting that the police are his friends. The boast is partly true, as policemen have been seen in full uniform in the place. Next season a few more Bowery celebrities will appear at Coney Island as proprietors of "hotels." On Surf avenue, near Henderson's walk, a two-story place is beIng erected for John McGurke, who was proprietor of "Suicide Hall," on the Bowery, Manhattan, and almost directly opposite John MoManus, better known to his followers as "Eat 'Em Up, will hold forth. William, or "Kenny," Walsh is still doing business at the corner of Surf avenue and Henderson's walk, a few doors a from McGurke's place. Several men who formerly kept disorderly houses in Manhattan, on the lower East 'Side, were doing business in Coney Island season, and have planned to lease the places for next season.

They harbored young girls and females old in crime and were not molested by the police. New features at Coney Island next season are to be Seaside Park, and a large plot of ground containing about twenty-two acres, and known as Luna Park. A half a million dollars is to be expended in improving the ground and putting in the new features in the amusement line. The place will be a beautiful flower garden, with here and there some place of amusement. There will be a German village, and the Trip to the Moon will also be constructed from the grounds.

The proprietors of that attraction have done much to Coney Island by giving to the thousands visitors clean and respectable shows. The owners of the Johnstown Flood have also assisted in 1m- proving conditions. One of the new featurdes at Luna Park during the coming season will be called Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and together with the chutes, which is the only old attraction permitted to remain on the grounds, there will be much to amuse, One of the most needed Improvements In Coney Island is the asphalting of the Bowery. While it cannot learned whether or not the entire thoroughfare is be asphalted, the work of doing the block between Jones' and Thompson's walks has already been commenced. The long walk froms Surf avenue to the entrance of the old iron pier has also been" asphalted and many of the shanties that front on the walk will be removed.

West Fifth street, from Surf avenue to the ocean, will soon be opened, and other thoroughfares, mainly Fifteenth street and the Sheepshead Bay road, are now being repaired. Altogether, the people who want 'clean show places and who are in favor of good streets expect to outnumber the fakirs and disreputable people next season, but the attempt to drive the latter away entirely will prove a long a and difficult task, because of a "protection" which always has existed at the island and probably always will.

COPS GETTING EVEN I NOW LOW ADMINISTRATION NEGLECT OF REPUBLICANS WAS REMEMBERED BY THEM ELECTION DAY. Some So Disgusted They Say They Will Never Vote the Republican Municipal Ticket Again--Doesn't Pay--Democrats Well Cared For. The policemen of this city are jubilant over the victory of Tammany in Manhattan and of "Willoughby, street," In this borough.

The bluecoats, almost to a man, voted against the Republican ticket. There were exceptions, of course, in the cases of men like Inspector Cartwright, Capt. Miles O'Rellly, Capt. Burford and others of that stamp, who have always followed the Republican standard, whether it led to defeat or victory. But the great bulk of the men who go out the street and those men who All detail jobs, cast their votes for the Democracy, 'and they are rejoicing over the result in this city.

Republican bluecoats make no secret of the fact that they either voted against their party or refrained from voting at all. 'Said' one of them to a Times reporter today: "I will not say that I voted the Democratio ticket or that I will vote it, but I will never vote the Republican ticket again." Many Republican bluecoats declare that they have not received a single favor from 'the Low administration since assumed control of local affairs. Democratic officers, tie on the other hand, they claim, have been showered with favors. Nine-tenths of the men who have been promoted this year, they say, voted for Edward M. Shepard a year 'ago and for Coler last Tuesday.

The vast majority of the men who have been advanced to the rank of roundsman or captain, or who have been appointed on the force since January 1, have always been Democrats and supported their party ticket. A Republican patrolman, who has been complaining about the distribution of police honors, said to the reporter: "Only one Republican copper, so -far as I know, has been given a detail in Brooklyn, and he didn't want it. Democrats have been, planted in the municipal bulldings and into the Detective Bureau. Democrats who wore Shepard badges a year ago and contributed to the "Democratic campaign fund ein 1901 and this year, are enjoying details as detectives or detective sergeants. No Republican has got any of those nice, snug places.

If we ask favors we are told there is no politics in this administration. Well, that may be the case, but how is it that nearly all the favors go to Willoughby street Democrats? Even the Coffey Democrats have fared better than Republicans. glad they landed, because they worked against Willoughby street. Three of them' landed in soft places. One was made Captain, but he need not to thank anybody, because he was at the head of the, list when promoted.

Another Coffee man was made a precinct detective, but there is a belief that he did not support Low and that he voted for Coler last Tuesday. I don't blame Democrats for "asking and gettings these favors, but I do blame those who give them what they ask. "I don't know who is responsible for this thing, but Republican coppers are getting it in the neck. This administration has been kind and. lenient to the force.

Men have got on it without money or influence. Men have promoted without having to pay a cent for their promotions. Men placed on trial violations of the rules have been let off with light fines. Men who used to be fined twenty days' pay now escape with two days and five days' fines. They have not been required by the power to pay a cent for election purposes, yet last Tuesday they turned around and supported the party that Imposed heavy fines on them and made them pay for promotion and also forced them to shell out their money around election times.

And these men are the men who, are winning the police honors and favors which the administration has at its disposal. Than administration is honest, but foolish. be honest and wise just as well. are some good, honest Democrats holding details. They are capable men, too, but there are others not worth their salt holding' down their jobs as securely as 1f Tammany was in power.

They voted against Low, 1897. and 1901 and they'll vote against him in 1903 if he runs again. They are laughing at the Republican policemen who expected to get in out of the wet. "Some time ago several Democratic detectives were remanded to patrol duty. Republicans asked for their places.

They were refused. A few weeks ago those same Democrats. got back the details which were refused to Republicans. There is little inducement for a Republican policeman to remain Republican. When the Democracy 1s in power they are hounded and when their own party gets into power they are ignored.

EUCHRE FOR ST. JOHN'S SCHOOL. Building Fund Largely Increased by Affair at Knapp Mansion. Whenever the members of the Church of St. John the Baptist, on Wiloughby avenue.

undertake to anything in the cause of charity, they do it on a large scale. This fact was demonstrated last night when they gave a progressive euchre at the Knapp Mansion in aid of the building fund of the new parochial school, which the priests of St. John are building. Every member of the church is interested in the new school, and they are working just as hard as the Rev. Father McHale, the pastor, and his assistants, Fathers P.

F. Burns, J. P. Molyneaux, Criddens, Walsh and Murphy. They attended the euchre.

There were 150 tables, and inasmuch as there are always four players at a table, the players numbered 600. From will be seen that quite a large sum of money WAS realized. It was impossible to tell to what extent the building fund will be increased by the euchre, for the reason that many who purchased tickets did not participate in the game. Play was commenced at about 8 o'clock, and 1 was stopped at 11:30. Before midnight the winners of the prizes announced.

Sixty prizes were hawarded, one of the prizes being two tons of coal, another two theatre boxes, and still another $15 gold. Miss McCabe got first prize, $15 in gold. There were two committees, one to look after the prizes and another to look after the interests of the gentlemen players. This committee was composed of Joseph Drew, M. James McLaughlin, P.

WASHINGTON, Nov. C. H. Mcbellan, of the Manning, United States revenue cutter, service, ends the discussion as to the animals he discovered. on Bouldye Island, and which he stated at the time constituted a new herd of fur seals.

It was suggested at the time of his first report that were sea lions, not seals. He now writes the Treasury Department from Dutch Harbor, Alaska, that he has revisited the island, shot and skinned a pup. The skin been pronounced by experts to be that of a fur-seal pup. This, taken with the offer's knowledge of the animals, which differ widely In their characteristics from sea lions, is deemed conclusive. The find is regarded as one of great values The Thirteenth Regiment assembled at the Sumner avenue armory last night for drill and instruction, preparatory to the coming review' and parade In honor of Col.

HENRY MARSHALL MAY GET THE CITIES CHAIRMANSHIP IN THE SENATE.

Assemblyman Remsen a Candidate for the Corresponding Place in the Lower House -Good Chance for the Few Re-elected from Kings County. The sweeping defeat of Republican mombers of the Legislature from Kings and New York Countles at Tuesday's election, leaves the few survivors in position of unusual prominence, and already there is talk of the good committeeships that are awaiting them. In place of the three Republican Senators from Kings in the Legislature last session, there will be only one, and from New York County there will be one instead of two. But it was in the Assembly that the reduction was most pronounced. Brooklyn alone the Republicans lost nine members, some of whom had seen some years of service.

Instead of thirteen members of the Assembly from Kings County there will be only four, and there will be lots of room for those who are left. The two Republican Senators from Greater New York are Senator Henry Marshall, of Kings, who has represented his district in the Senate since the election of 1898. and who had previously served in "the Assembly, and Senator N. A. Elsberg, of New York, who was also elected to the Senate In 1898, but who had had no previous legislative experlence.

Already Senator Marshall's friends are urging him to become a candidate the chairmanship of the important on Cities, of which Senator Stranahan, now Collector of the Port of New. York, was the head for many years. ator Elsberg's friends have also begun to urge his candidacy, but there seems to ba little doubt of the fact that in the the place being given to New York City, 4t will go to Senator Marshall, who was Chairman of the committee of the same name in the Assembly, before his elevation the The ranking member of tha, committee, however, 1 is Senator Horace White, of Syracuse, who can undoubtedly have the Chairmanship if he wants it, aithat is referred to has to though most of the important, legislation do with New York Cry affairs. Assemblyman Remsen, of Brooklyn, will also make a fight to secure the Chairmanship of the Assembly Cities Coinmittee this year. Assemblyman Otto Kelsey, of Livingston County, who has been the Chairman of the Committee for several years, was not a candidate for re-election this year, so that there is a vacancy in this Chairmanship also.

Assemblyman Gherardi Davis, of' New York, who ranked next to Mr. Kelsey, was also not a candidate this year, and Assemblyman Cotton, of Kings, was defeated. This leaves Mr. Renisen as the only New York City man who by previous service on the committee has any claim on the place, and it is proposed to make a strong effort to land him in the Chairmanship. An effort will be made also to secure the position, on the committes made vacant by Assemblyman Cotton's defeat for Assemblyman Weber, of the Sixteenth District, who has had two years experience.

Assemblyman Morgan, it is understood, is willing to remain as Chairman of the Committee on Taxation and Retrenchment. Assembly Dowling, of the Seventeenth District, has had no previous legislative experience, and he will have to take things as they come. The falling off in the Republican majority, however, will Insure better places for those who remain. Last session there were so many Republicans that there were hardly committee assignments enough to go around. Fox Hunting at Wheatley Hills.
