PAJUCES IONORED.
Colonel Oeorge Moore Smith, the new F
Commissioner, did not allow the grass to ?
under his feet very long before making uj
mind as to which side of ihe Board he ?
adhere. He made it apparent yesterday
he would side with President Moss and
Andrews.
r>r over three hours yesterday th* presh
Commissioner Andrews and Colonel Smith
closeted together in secret conference.
Parker was not present, for the simple re;
that he was r. : Invited. He was intontlor
excluded from Mr. Aadrews's office, where
j]???? ting was held, and the door was locked
Bhortly bef< re fl o'clock, when the throe c

n-.. menta, and from their manner it was evii
tr..: ;!; > arare on terms ?>f perfect nnderatt
in.: arlth one another. Th.- inference tha
draws at Headquarters from this protra
and secret conference is that there is a
ration on the part of the three Com?
?loners to Ignore Mr. Parker as far as pract
l,l- in administering the business of the pc
fcrce It :? agreed, also, that at this c<jn
er.ro Commlssl meri MOSS, Andrews and Sn
glscussed and ?;? (tied the policy they would i

a permanent majority was assured on
}t .ard.
THI-: CHARGES AGAINST CONLIN.
The substance of replies to inquiries put b
Tribune reporter to th.- Commlaaloners after
(???ss, i. mads it alear that the question of i
cipiining Chief ConllB vas discussed, and tl
1? every likelihood that, despite Mr Park
contention that the charges again?M Chief C
Ha have been disposed of, he will i>.- t>rou
to trial upon th? charges of Insubordination
cently present? ?i apainst him.
Among other matters which It was learned
Commissioners discussed at their conf?re
was the suppression of disorderly houses ?
policy shops. It id understood that the intent
of the majority is to work for the extermin?t!
as far as possible, of these plao s. and that er<
m'ans will be used In obtaining evldei
against them. The attitude ol President II
and Mr. Andrews Upon the question of empli
Ir.g even somewhat Invidious methods in acqi
Ing the requisite proof is well known. Colo
Smith at yesterday's conference vas seemlnj
von over to their way of thinking, althouph t
days apo he was reporte.l as saying that
?would be loath to Sign bills such as were : ho
him for pettinp evidence; he somewhat quallfi
this position wh n he said after the conf?rer
to a Tribune reporter: "Until I am better :
quainted with the work and ? \lg< : es of t
POl e Department I cannot be expected to s
what course I will pursue, because 1 may find
essential and expedient in the Interests of t
public good to sign bills of the nature you rel
to."
Commissioner Andrews was asked if the fi
ure policy of the 15 rd had been decided lipe
'Yes, to some extent.'- he replied.
"Wtil that policy be on th" same lines as In t;
j .ist ?"
BOMS CHANGES' IN P<>U< Y.
Well, no; there \\1!1 be chanpes. but I am n
at liberty to say what ?hey are''
"Do the changes apply t.. th" suppression
disordei ly hous
"Yes, the?.- are some changes contemplated
that direction, also in the disciplining of tl
force, and there ate possible <hanp*s in Oth
directions which I shall try to bring about."
President Moss, when asked whether the e:
elusion of Mr. Parker from the conferem
showed a desire on the ?.art of the majority I
act Independently of Mr. Parker, begged n<
to b ask'-d questions which tended to stir u
old controversies. He was r."t disposed to ta]
about what took place at the meeting.
"Nevertheless, is li not true that you propoi
to close up disorderly houses?"
"Those and policy shops; in fact, there is poin
to !?? a general tackling of those placea
The president was then Informed of whn
Commissioner Parker had said earlier in th
day, that it was Impossible to renew the charge
, . '?st chii!' Conlln, because they liad bee
disposed of. "The charges were not dispose
of," contended Mr. Mosa 'The Chief has no
yet been brought to trial, and it rests wltl
the Commlssii ners as to what action they wll
take in th- matter."
"Has Chief Conlln ever mentioned to you hi
wish to resign?"
No; but he has told me at times that his eye
were becoming '.veak. and that be suffered fror
catarrh <>t the stoma? h."
"If Chief Conlln has an ambition to be th
first chi. r of th.- Greater New-York police, ha
he a pood chance of becoming so'.'"
"T< a If he is chief on January 1, his chance:
of being rsappolnted are the best of all."
MR. PAKKKR NOT PLEASED.
At the end of the conference between the othei
Commissioners, Mr. Parker was again seen, anr
H was observable that he did not view In ar
altogether pleasant light the discrimination hi!
colleagues had shown apalnst him.
"Were you not even Invited to this confer?
ence?" he was ask- d.
"No, I was not "
"Hut such a course is unusual. Is It not?"
"Well, I always consult with all my colleague?
upon all Hoard matters I have to discuss oi
propose."
"May It not be taken that this meeting mean?
that your three assoi lates have outlined a policy
for the conduct of the Department from the
knowledge of whli h v >u ha,ve been excluded""
"I don't know. How can I spy? If so. how?
ever, the Inevitable reaction will follow, foi
knowledge of such a thing will produce ?ts propei
effect upon the mind of every fair-minded man.
J v r fight a junta than be in it."
en you consider Commissioner Andrews'?
? this meeting and his statement that
on ?: the subjects discussed was the discipline
Of the force, M DO! the infer.-tve (O be drawn
that there is tr< ubl< In store for Chief Conlln?"
"Trout.le f .r Chief Conlln can only COUM from
his own shortcomings. ?o s* ; policy to make
.rouble for him ran succeed, because such a
thing is always futile, and needs ? pretty poor
t?' clmen of a superior to undertake."
"Do you think the other Commissioners ln
U ad to try Chief Conlln on the old charges or on
any new ones'"
"I do not, because the result would be disaster
to those who would try such a thing. We have
had enough of Insufficient charges in the past."
"Is It possible for the Commissioners to bring
him to trial on the old charge*""
"No? but let them try It if they want to.'*
Mr. Parker added that he had never heard
Chief ConllB say be wished to retire, nor did he
believe the Chief had any such Intention.

ate said to be strongly In sympathy with Dr.
Andrews, though not necessarily approving his
economic views, and who number about forty,
were not approached for their signatures by the
framerg of the communication.
A copy of the letter has been mailed to each
member of the corporation, und each alumnus
will receive It. "If we are not mistaken," the
h?.-r states, "more Is Involved than the exigon
ei-s of a single Institution or the fortun?e of a
single educator; but the situation of Brown Uht
verslty and its relations to the president art,
taken alone, topics of high importance which
compel our consideration."
Reference is made to the details of the cor
p ?ration meeting at Which President Andrews
! was requested to forbear In the future from the
I promulgation Of his monetary views, and it Is
J declared that It was not intended to have the
? vote of the corporation mad-- public. The faculty
pro teat th.-n continues as follows:
Private and Individual remonstrance Is one thing:
action of Uie sort described by the body wmch ap?
points priests is, ?> submit, a very different thin?,
it N open to the gravest objections and rests upon
a theorj which, if extensively acted upon, would
eat the heart out <>f our educational Institutions?
i ne theory that the material growth of a university
Is of Hurt Importance than Independence ot
thought and expression on the part of its priest
and professors; and thai boards of trustes have,
si luch, tie right to suggest limitations upon such
Independence. It is nol p. la- believed, and we arc
far from believing that this theory, In all Its
amplitude, wan presented to the minds of your
honorable body on the oc.-asion named and dis
tlr.ctiv accepted by them. Hut the ;.>K?.ai con?
nection between that theory and the concrete
tellon is, on consideration, so plain and has found
so complete i lodgment in the public mind, to the
manifest Injurv of the university, that we respect?
fully beg von to take again Into consideration the
principles Involved, and at your ?nsutug me. tin? to
take thai action srhlch alone can permanently re
lleve Brown University from all suspicion of Uuber
sllty or bias.
It. cognising that the cor. oration have not been
"n thinking and saying that I>r. Andrews's
freedom of ; ? 1 ought tO be restrained, we be*
: , :,, comba I the proposition when.r and by
whomsoever maintained, thai official action, lead
, ing t.. restrain his expressl ..- on pui.ll" affairs, is
' justified We desire to Show ?rst. that It cannot

necessity and advantage; and. secondly, that it
- ad luatlflcatton when considered from that
iilgher point of view from Which the educational
;- itltutions of a great country ought always to be
regarded.
The address deals with the possible benefac?
tors of the college who would have given, ac
Ing to the trustees, but for the publicly ex
pr^nsed views of President Andrews, and says
that lavish glf's to public institutions are not
usual In this community, and never have been.
Many other Institutions where the presiding of?
ficers have taken no par' in political discussion
have received little money; bul the faculty pre
'.-rs to dismiss empty speculation regarding
what might have happened. Hard times have
placed Brown and other colleges in a less pros
peroua financial condition, and the address then
goes on to say. in rebuttal:
if income i,.- a tit criterion, then Dr. Andrews is
entitled to be regarded as. .:? s i.uniary sense, the
gieatest benefactor Brown I'nlverslii ever h.ni
M ,re than hair Its Income la beyond doubt due to
him and his labors, if restraint of Presldenl An
drews cannot ?? Iustlfled on these lower grounds
of p uniary results, still less defensible does it
appear when viewed from higher grounds. The
a nera' arguments for freedom of speech it Is not
necessary to : peal least of all m Rhode Island,
where tlie rlghl to ?uch freedom has f.>r two hun
dr.-.i and slat) years been cherished with peculiar
jealousy.
' >n the one hand, we have th- problematical or
Imaginary addition of a certain number of dollars;
en the other hand, we have throughout the whole
Intellectual lif- of the University the deadening
Influence of known or suspected repression. Our
students will know or suspect that on c-rtaln sub
j..,;s the silence of their president has been pur?
chased or Imposed. If the resignation of Pr. An?
drews Is accepted, the burden and tli" stigma fall
.>n Ills successor. It would stamp the Institution
in the ever- of the country as on.- In which fr.lom
of thought is not permitted when It runs counter
to the vl.-ws of the community or of those from
Whom tlie college expects financial support.
The undersigned, therefore, members of the fac?
ulty of Brown University, respectfully urge upon
your honorable body that tb>- president's resigna?
tion b" not sccepted, and that the corporation ex?

LABOR UNION RESOLUTION!,
Poston. Aug. 2.-The resignation of President
Andrews, of Hrown University, was considered by
lea delegates at resterdav's meeting of the Central
Labor Union. It was deplored, and the policy of
the corporation In criticising him for the expression
of his ?conomie principles was condemned In reso?
lutions. The resolutions speak of "the Intolerance
and Hllberallty of the trustees." and declar? that
the action of the trustees of the university is "a

I Andrews, laid streu? exclusively upon the "promul

j should he generally taken f..r granted that I >r

the free coinage of silver at a ratio of li to 1 with

I have baaed their comments on auch a conception of
! the facts. Such a conception Is. however, entirely
erroneous.
First, In regard to the teaching In the college
itself. Dr. Andrews do?s not teach political econ
i omy, and the associate professor, who does all the
I-"hing In that department, Is not a bell?ver In
i the fr-e coinage of sliver by this country alone.

TROUBLES THE CAUSE.
Henry Auhert. fifty-eight years old. and his wife,
Mina, flfty-stx years old. committed suicide at their
home In Jersey city early yesterday morning by
Inhaling illuminating gas.
Auhert occupied the two-story frame building No.
43 Llncoln-st. In the rear w'as a factory, where he
manufactured flannel garments. The Luslness had
been dull and unprofitable for a year, and Auhert
had become despondent. When the Auberts retired
on Sunday night Mrs. Aiib.it remarked to the ser?
vant, Mrs. Ironisa Kcch: "You need not call us
In UM morning." It was evident from this that
the old couple had carefully planned their suicide.
When the servant knocked at the door yesterday
i morning she did not detect the slightest odor of
gas In the hall. On reaching the kitchen Mrs.
Koch found lvlng on the top of the milk pitcher s
note addressed to George Raven, of No. 4M Ceo?
tral-ave.. wdth Instructions) on the envelope to
Mrs. Koch to deliver the note immediately. The
servant had heard Mr. Auhert go to the kitchen
from his room about 1 o'clock. She suspected
nothing wrong, even when she read the Instruc?
tions on the envelope, as she knew that Mr. Raven
and Mr. Auhert were warm friend?, and supposed
her employer desired the letter delivered early, be?
fore Mr. Raven had left home for his place of
business,
The note was written in German. It was as
follows:
August 1, 18t>7.
Hear 1'rlend Raven: Please do me the favor to
rail at once at No. 4? Lincoln-St. and take charge
of my nouse and business Inclosed key is for tue

Mr. Raven suspected that something was amiss,
snd )k> immediately Informed the police. Rounds?
man Joseph Richards, who was sent to the house.
rapped Ofl thi bedroom door, and, receiving no se?
ep mse, forced It open. He was almost suffocated
by the Imprisoned gas. He wrapped a handker
eiiii f about his nostrils and ran into the room,
opened thp windows and shut off the nas.
Mr. and Mrs. Auhert were lying on the bed dead
Dr. Oestman was called and declared that life had
been extinct for several hours.
Auliert was prominent in German-American so
clety. He was identified with s number of societies
and was Blaster of Allemania Lodge of
Pr?s and Accepted Masons. He had many
friends who would gladly have assisted him out
of his financial straits, but he concealed his em
barrmsament from them. Mr. Raven refused to
make any statement concerning Aubert's affairs.
Auh.rt on several occasions Informed friends that
his life was Insured for $10,000, and his wife was
the beneficiary. Mr. Raven has taken charge of
the bodies and employed an undertaker to stake
arrangements for the burial.
One of Aubert's sons arrived at his parents' house
last evening. He declined to make any statement
about the tragedy

OAPB OS OBOSOB DRAPER HIS
WISE AMD DAUGHTER
POUghkeepste, S. Y.. Aug. 'J.?Oeorge Draper, his
wrfe and fifteen-year-old daughter, Pearl, had a
terrible experience yesterday afternoon. While
sailing In a .-klff on Wapplnger's i 'reek they
wer. swept ivi r a waterfall thirty feet high, atid
were saved from death only by the heroic exer?
tions of Draper himself.
The man is a well-to-do farmer, living at Salt
Point. Il" la about forty years old, and possesses
great strength and athletic skill. When Draper
took his wife and daughter out for a sail yester?
day afternoon the creek was greatly swollen by the
recent bea/ry niiiiH. and he rowed further down
Uie stream than usual. Suddenly he realized that the
waterfall! wer? just ahead of him, and he headed
the skfff toward the hank. He was no match for
the rushing current, however, and before he could
reach the shors his frail boat was swept over the
fall. Drap.-r clasped his wife and daughter in his
arms as the ?klff overturned.
At the bottom of the waterfall the three were
drawn under b? the Impact of the falling water
above them, and several moments elapsed before s
favoring eddy swept them down stream, sway
from the waterfall. Draper held fast to his wife,
but his daughter was swept away from him. He
la a good swimmer, and. striking out for the shore.
soon had hla wife safe upon the bank. Then he
iwam back after Pearl, who had by this time been
carried many feet by the current. By dint of
great exertion he reached her jusl as aha was
sinking for the third time, and seized her by the
hair. He was by this time wellnlgh exhausted', and
it was only through efforts that seemed almost
superhuman that he reached the bank with his un
coni - loua 'laughter.
Laying Pearl upon the bank beside her mother,
who was too faint to render any assistance, Dra?
per htirrhd a mile across lots for a doctor. The
physician responded promptly and gave the ??rl
restoratives, after which she and her mother were
removed to their home. Both women were pros?
trated to-day from the shook and bruises which
they received from contact with rocks, but the
attending physician says they will recover.

has been occupied all day with the Relma I.arsen

from natural causes. The chemist who was em?

After receiving the report . - the chemist, DIs

not consider any further analysis necessary or ex

taken poison the analysis of the contents of the

London. Aug. I? The Marquis of Salisbury,
replying in the House of Lords to-day to the
Liberal leader, the Earl of KlmU-rley, who
questioned the Government as to the state of the
peace negotiations between Greece and Turkey,
outlined the atatus of the Constantinople ex?
changes of views, occasionally referring to them
In sarcastic tones. The Premier said It was no
wonder that the patience of many people wag
sorely tried by the delay. The complexity and
j multiplicity of the negotiations, he added,
might, however, account for their length.
Lord Salisbury explained that the peac- which
the Powers were trying to arrange was no otdU
! nary agreement between a SSnqiKCOt and a
conquered country. The terrltor. COSjqaered \<y
the Turkish army was one assigned to <;ree<e
by International arrangement, and therefore tha '
Powers' voice (n regard to its d!sp. sal wag
recognized by the Sultan. The latter was right
in demanding security against incursions su<h
as those which brought about the present war,
and for that purpose a recttScatloa <>f the
frontier on a strategic base was a reasonable
demand. It was also reasonable to h-l-l that
the Gre.'k communities shouid not be paced un?
der Turkish rule.
The Premier further asserted that Ht Majes?
ty's Ministers believed that those ?VSattOSJS had
been settled, and that Turkey had aecpted the
fro ltler line traced by the military attaches of
the Embassies of the Powers, th.ugii the pre?
mier shared In I^rd Klmberley's doubt?, ftnd
announcements that accomplished facts were
not really so until actually accomplished.
Speaking of the Indemnity to be paid to Tur?
key by Greece, Lord Salisbury sail: There
comes In the mysterious and difficult question of
the German bondholders. We do not think that
| any International duty lies . n Europe t.. provide
for their payment, though I admit they have
been long unpaid. The credit of Greece In the
j European market will for a long time be exceed?
ingly small, and some form of control of fJrsst
sources of revenue Is Inevitable, I cannot ?ay
that negotiations in that direction have ad
I vanced very far, and I mu3t admit that the quas?
! turn may be a source of vary considergbU delay."
With reference to Crete, he said that it was of
j no use for the Powers to attempt to arrange a
form of government until the m> rs Important
controversy had been adjusted. The peasant at?
titude of Crete seemed to be favorable to an
agreement so far as the Christians were con?
cerned; but the two creeds were no nearer than
they had been for many centuries
"The only solution." he said, "seems to be to
dig a ditch across the Island, w ?th the Christians
on one side and the Moslems on the other, (mr
earnest object is to MTBBJgn what has been prom?
ised, taking care to be just to both s?riions. We
are not Inclined to admit, merely b?canes the
Mussulmans are in the minority, that their In -
terssts are to be neglect d."
Lord Salisbury said that he fully agreed wlih
Lord Klmberley that Crete was in a deJSfarowa
position. The element of danger, however, d'.d
not arise, he insisted, because th.- island was
mixed up in the affairs of the nttmnoSj Empire,
but rather from the terrible division JUnhng the
creeds, a division which might yet require a
power greater than all the sovereigns of Europe
to banish.

Phl'.ip N. Jackson, president of the Penpb "s
Electric Light and Power Company, of Newark,
said yesterday that the consolidation of the

be consummated within a month. Mr. Jackson
said, in retard to the terms of th" deal, that it
would be effected in a way similar to that of a
consolidation of the Kas and electric-light com?
panies Of P...ehester, N. Y.
The electric-light company has a capitalizan >n
Of |3,000,000|, and has leaned no bonds. The
gas company has 11,000^000 capital t>t..ck and
Sl.iMti.don i ? bonds. The selling price of electric
stock yesterday was 102, and thai of Um ebb
stock. MB, The d".unc-iight company controls
the lighting of nearly twenty towns, and m..st
of the plants in North Jersey, not owned Bf
controlled by the company, are owned 'r con?
trolled by iic United <...* Improvement Com?
pany, of Philadelphia, which bus. within a
month, secured twenty-five hundred shares of
the Peoples company stock. The Newark <;as
company controls the gas llgntlng in Harrison,
Kearny, Montclatr and other plao ?, near New?
ark, while the Philadelphia Gag Improvement
Company controls the tame Interests In Jersey
City and Paterson. The consolidation, when ef?
fected, will, therefore, have control - i nearly ill
the gas and electric lighting Interest! of North?
ern New-Jersey, and it may eventually embrace
the same Interests in the entire State. The n-?w
consolidation ?rill represent a total stock capi?
talization of $16,000,000.
The present Newark Gas Company was formed
a year ago bj S consolidation of th? Citizens*
anil Newark Gaslight companies The largest
stockholder in the Citizens' company was Henry
C. Kelsey, Secretary of Stai . and the largest
owner of Newark company stock was Eugene
