PUSH THE WORK. SAYS STARK. HE DECLARES HIMSELF HEARTILY IX ACCORD WITH THE MOVEMENT FOR AX EAST SIDE SUBWAY. BRONX ASSOCIATION TO TAKE ACTION AT ONCE. The proposition of The Tribune, that early action be taken by the Rapid Transit Commission on the Question of building an East Side subway, and that a survey of that part of the city to the east of Central Park, which under the present plan has been left without rapid transit, should be authorized at once, was indorsed yesterday by John H.

Starin. who is the oldest member on the commission. Mr. Starln's reputation in head of the Starin transportation lines, which do an enormous freight and lighterage business in the harbor of New-York as well as operating excursion lines and pleasure reports, is too well known to need further comment. He has made a special study of the rapid transit problem of the boroughs of Manhattan and The Bronx, and has been a member of the Transit Commission since it came into existence.

A he Hi I yesterday to a Tribune reporter, he has been in favor of an East Side subway from the beginning of the agitation for an underground railroad in this city. In a brief statement he clearly defined his position in regard to the proposition Bar beginning preliminary work on an East Side branch of the rapid transit system at once, but at the same time emphasized point that he spoke, not as a member of the Board of Rapid Transit Commissioners, but as an individual citizen of this city. "You may record me as in hearty accord with the movement to hasten the construction of an East Side underground railroad." said Mr. Star- In. "I believed when the Rapid Transit Commission was considering the question of a route that the road would better be to the east of Central Park, thereby striking more nearly the centre of population of Manhattan Island.

Nevertheless, because of the debt limit. I voted for the present plan, believing it better to have a West Side route than none at all. With the West Side taken care of, consideration should now be given to the East Side. Accordingly. I heartily Indorse the proposition of The Tribune that preliminary -work should now be begun to hasten the ultimate construction of an East Side subway." NORTH SIDE BOARD OF TRADE ACTS.

The agitation for an East Side subway has now been taken up by the North Side Board of Trade, which represents to a wide extent the Interests of resident? of The Bronx. At a meeting of the executive committee of the board. held at No. 538 on Tuesday even- Ing, resolutions in favor of a direct East Side route, which will be presented to the full board meeting next Tuesday evening, were adopted. The president of the board, Albert E.

Davis. called attention to The Tribune's fight for a direct East Side subway to the Bronx, and stated that the North Side Board of Trade had made a determined effort to secure such a line prior to the adoption of the circuitous West Side route, and that such a line had been originally decided upon. When seen yesterday. Mr. Davis said: "The reason given by the Rapid Transit Commissioners for abandoning an East Side route was that the bonded Indebtedness of the city not permit the construction of both East and West Side lines.

But it was generally understood that the East Side line would be constructed as soon as funds were available. The movement started by The Tribune to secure the necessary till lT action afforded the opportunity to press the matter at this time. The populous East Side of the Borough of Manhattan north of Forty-second-st- and the thickly populated section of The Bronx south of Onehur.dred-and-forty-ninth-st. offers the best possible argument for such action." At a meeting- to-night the Central Taxpayers' AESociation of The Bronx will consider the question of an East Side subway, and resolutions be offered asking that the Board of Rapid Transit Commissioners take immediate action in favor of such a branch of the rapid transit system.

The meeting last night vrell The club was addressed by State Senator Elsbur, on the legislation of the session Just oven Alexander T.

"This direct East route is the only salvation for property owners of the easterly section of The Bronx, and It cannot come any too quickly.

But It is the same with this as with all other public Improvements, it cannot be pot unless sufficient public sentiment compels the authorities to begin this work. This Borough of The Bronx, the borough where thousands of people of moderate ambitions have huilt their own little homes, covers such a vast area that It will be lmpopsible for the elevated and the coming rapid transit road to carry the numerous thousands to their places of business after ten years from to-day, and if preliminary steps are now begun for a direct East Side route it will take all of that time to build It. shall offer the resolutions at next meet- Ing of taxpayers' association, and I have no doubt that they will be adopted by a rousing te.

Long may it live!" William H. Ten Eyck.

chairman of the executive committee of the Republican County Committee, and ieader of the XXXIVth Assembly Strict, said yesterday that he indorsed the project for an East Side subway. "Why, as far as that 1 said Mr. Ten Bjrck, "I have always thought that it would be better po have the subway on the East Side rather than the West Side, and was much disappointed by the way It was actually laid out. 'You see." he added, drawing- a small diagram to illustrate hie remarks, "as the subway runs now people of the XXXIVth District are passed by on one side. The subway does, to be sure, touch the district or very nearly, but only at one uoiuer.

and then veers off above it and to the north. PLAN SHOULD NOT BE have always wished that we could have direct communication with the downtown district, quite as the West Side now has. or is about to have, and so far I should be glad to be quoted in favor of the plan. Of course, it should not be allowed to become in any way a partisan matter, and I take it that you are canvassing without respect to party. As for the question of the route to be preferred, that is a detail on which at present I can give you no opinion.

I have not studied the subject, and can only indorse the project on its general lines. But the plan, broadly viewed, would. I am quite sure, receive the approval of the people of the XXXIVth District. E. H.

Healy, Republican leader of the XXXVth District, added to his indorsement of The Tribune's plan a plea for an extension of the subway at the northern end to the region in The Bronx which the present subway does not serve. "The residential and business section of The Bronx." said Mr. Healy, Is west of and as the rapid transit road runs now It is BtlU without proper facilities. A of this subway should run directly through the heart of The Bronx and give us some adequate service. Now is the time to arrange for it and to undertake it.

The debt limit seems to me a bugaboo. I should be glad to see The Tribune's project realized, and made to include some consideration for this part of town." John F. Carroll, leader of the XXIXfh District, said that he had not studied the scheme, but that as outlined it appealed to him. thought the East Side deserved a rapid transit subway as much as any part of town.

BELGIUM COOLS DOWN. A DOWNPOFR OF RAIN DAMPENS THE ARPOR OF THE RIOTERS. POLITICAL REFORMS DEMANDED ARE JUST- BRUSSELS IN A STATE OF SIEGE. (Copyright; 1902: By The Tribune Association.) to The Tribune by French Cable. 1 April A steady downpour of rain has blanketed whatever lawlessness there in Brussels last night.

Business was transacted as usual to-day, and despite the excite- ment caused by the debate in the Chamber of Deputies order prevails. Even the funerals of the unfortunate victims of last week's riotingwere conducted without popular tumult, and the services of four thousand militia in- guarding the Hotel de Ville, palaces, public buildings and gasworks seemed unnecessary. A Belgian revolution, even with 150.000 workingmen on strike for political reform, is a soberminded affair. Anarchists may be lurking in the background, but the main body of workingmen and the citizens in sympathy with the reform movement are kept under restraint by wise and cautious leaders. The minority in the lower chamber is made up of Moderate Liberals.

Advanced Liberals and Socialists, numbering sixty-seven in a division. They have a Just cause, for plural voting based on property qualification involved many notorious frauds. They demand reform in the franchise in the direction of one vote for every man. The Liberals have suggested dissolution of the chambers as an alternative, with a reference of the whole subject to the nation. The Socialists, having equal voting strength, prefer to stand for electoral reform, and have ordered a general labor strike, when there are no grievances against the employers, as a last resource for emphasizing the popular demand.

They are not so dangerous as the name implies, for the principles advocated by i them for promoting the welfare of labor are recognized by English municipalities as salutary reforms. The Conservatives, having a clear majority of eighteen over the combined opposition, have persisted in deferring reform measures, until the Liberals themselves assert that a general labor strike for a political question is a legitimate and constitutional process. They have neglected to head off the agitation by timely and now contend that no surrender can be made to mobs of lawbreakers. The military precautions to-day on the approaches to the chambers resembled a state of siege. Everything was done to create the impression that the anarchists had broken loose.

The debate itself was fraught with passion on i the ministerial side. M. Beernaert, the responsible author of the plural suffrage, led off with a violent speech, and M. Feron, one of the coolest of the Radicals, made a firm, dignified and eloquent reply. The whole country Is wrought up to a white heat of excitement.

1- N- A VAST ARMY STOPS WORK. SPREAD OF THE GIGANTIC STRIKE IN SERIOUS DISORDERS. My Associated Prew.) April Unimportant outrages were reported from various parts of the country to-day. Small bombs were exploded at Liege and elaewhere. Bottles fllJed with gunpowder were exploded at the door cf a dwelling house and at the glass works at Maricmont.

near La Louviere. Only trifling damage was done by the explosion of the bombs. At Renalx (a town twenty-oca miles south-southwest of Ghent) an earthenware Jar with a fuse attached to it was discovered on the threshold of the Catholic Club. The fuse extlngxiished by passerby. The contents of the jar have not yet examined- The only other incident at Rer.alx was the throwing of a piece of lighted tow Into a school.

glass works at Courcolles (a village in the Province of Halnaut. four and one-half miles northwest of Charlerot) were practically destroyed by fire last night. It is estimated that the damage done will amount to Cranes. la believed that the fire was started by an Incendiary. The numbers of strikers in the chief industrial centres are estimated as follows: At Charlerot, W.

Van der Veide the Socialist leader and former president of the International Socialist Congress, with periodical shouts of "Universal suffrage is supreme!" M. Beernaerl expressed the belief that the present Belgian electoral system was satisfactory.

He referred to the numerous social laws passed during the last fifteen years, at the behest of the Socialists, and said the latter's sole recognition of the passage of these laws was the declaration of a general strike, accompanied by threats of violence. Alter the speech of M. Beernaert and a speech delivered by M. Feron. Progressist, which monopolized the entire session and fell very Bat, the opening day of the great on the proposed revision of the constitution ended in what was almost a fiasco.

a listless atmosphere prevailed in the Chamber. The members were evidently waiting for the delivery of the speeches of the Socialist and Liberal leaders, and the response of the Premier. de Smet de Nayer, to-morrow and Friday, when it is expected that a vote will be. taken, which will instil life into the parliamentary proceedings. FORNES'B INDIGNANT DENIAL.

HE SAYS HE DID NOT STATE THAT ALDERMEN HAD THEIR PRICE, AND WAS DELIBERATELY MISQUOTED. President Fornes of the Board of Aldermen arrived at the City Hall shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and was shown a statement in an afternoon paper purporting to have been given by him, saying that many of the aldermen "had their price." Mr. Fornes read it slowly, and as he did so grew more and more excited. He said: "It Is an outrage to put such statements in my mouth. I never said what is printed here.

A reporter came to see me at my store this morning concerning an alleged attempt to oust me from the leadership of the board. All I told him was that I knew of the conference yesterday afternoon and evening, and told them I could not be present, as it was not necessary, anyway. The conference had nothing to do with making a leader and the idea of deposing me was never mentioned. I never mentioned to the reporter anything about Commissioner Partridge being deposed, and never mentioned the Mayor's name. The interview la false in every way, except concerning the little I said about the caucus." "Did you say that the aldermen had a price?" "Certainly not," he quickly replied.

"I hope that you will give me common scribe enough not to think I would make such a Statement and then preside over the men to whom I said. 'I can't trust The statement Is an outrage and is utterly untrue. I am afraid hereafter if I wish to give an interview I will have to write it out. as this one is a deliberate misquotation." AT THE IRVING PLACE THEATRE. There was a double attraction at the Irving Place Theatre last "Die Tochter dcs Fabricius." with Sonnenthal as the old discharged convict, and "Untreu," In which Maw.

Odllon was seen as the coquette Clara. Both plays had been seen before on the Irving Place Possart as Fabricius and Mme. Sorma as but last night's performance was none the Jess Interesting on th-t account. Sonnenthal had also played the part before a New-York audience, but never with more force nor to better effect than last night. The support on the part cf the members of the Conried company was so good that Mr.

Sonnenthal's fine performance became less conspicuous. Mr. Rotmann as Rolf, and Miss Heiiwig Lange. as the daughter. were especially good, and were called before the curtain, together with Sonnentnal.

RESUMPTION OF PEACEFUL CONDITIONS IN LUZON PROVINCES. Manila. April Ceneral Malvar has unconditionally surrendered to Brigadier General Franklin Bell, at Llpa. Batangas Province, with the entire Insurgent force of the provinces of Laguna and Batangas. General Bell says hia (Beil'a) Influence is sufficient to quell the insurrectionary movements in Tayabas and provinces and capture all those in the field who have not yet surrendered, but Malvar has ordered the complete surrender of every insurgent to the nearest American force.

General Wheaton. reporting the division headquarters, says that all resistance In his department has ended, and that the surrenders Just announced mean that the ports will be opened, and that the Filipinos In the detention camps can be allowed to return to their homes in time to plant the crops. General Wheaton is especially pleased with General Bell's care of the natives confined in the camps. The officers in charge are held personally responsible for the quality and quantity of the food out and for the general welfare of tlr- occupants of the camps. After scouring the mountain passes General Bel! trmployed volunteer bolomen for protection against ladroneism.

April Eugene A. Philbtn. ex- District Attorney of New-York County, spoke at Seton Hall College. South Orange, to-night on "The Office and Duties of the District Attorney of New- York County." Mr. Philbtn is a graduate of Seton Hall and was warmly received.

A large number of Catholic clergy. Including Bishop O'Connor, were present. Mr. Phil bin said In part: Only twice during my term of twelve months did I have a grand jury which fearlessly and Intel.i-gentiy performed its duty. All the others had only a minority of those who possessed a proper conception of their duty and the courage to perform It.

On one occasion I was so indignant at the influences that were prevailing with the grand Jury that I felt It my duty to refuse to submit any more cases during the term, and thus bring- the court to dismiss it. 1 consulted with some of the judges and received no discouragement of the idea from tht-m. The opportunity of thus calling attention to the unfortunate condition thai frequently existed in the grand jury room, and possibly putting check upon those who had for their sole guidance political considerations, appealed to me. On further consideration, however, 1 recognized that a dangerous precedent would be created, and that a District Attorney who was actuated by a desire to defeat justice could use the very same expedient. and I therefore abandoned the inten- The best means to maintain a high standard in our governmental agencies is to insist upon their living up to their official obligations and tolerate nothing else.

Failure to obtain good results may come at rirst. but eventually the lesson will be learned. My opinion in this regard has been strengthened by actual experience, for the pursuance of that policy enables me to say that the police never failed to co-operate with me fully during my administration of the District Attorney's office, though politically and otherwise hostile to me. It Is only where it is necessary to unearth corruption in the Police Department that the employment of private detective agencies is desirable from the public interest point of view. Mr Philbin then paid a warm tribute to the late Mrs.

Foster, who was known as the "Tombs AngeL" He also spoke In high terms of the newspaper men with whom he had come in contact, saying that they were often of great help to him official affairs, and that the fullest reliance could be placed on their good faith and real devotion to public interests. The. office of coroner next attracted Mr. Philbln's attention, and of it he said: In view of the fact that the magistrate has equal power the suggestion that has been made that the office of coroner Is an unnecessary expense, seems to be well founded, and I have no doubt that the county of New-York, at least, would be Just as well off if "it had nc coroners.
