The result will be a quicker and better train service on the Atlantlc-ave., the Rockawav, the Far Rockaway and th* Manhat tan F°arh division* ■' the railway. This Is only gas step In a big transformation in the motive power of hat is known a* the short haul train [ sfrvi-e of the road -ha' «rlll ultimately make it possible for p person to take a train at the Pennsylvania station at Thirty-third-St. and Sever.lh-ave..

Wh»n this big undertaking is In working order the main pas eer.per station of the Lnng Island Railroad at Long Island City will b« practically merely a va: station. For several months the Lorg Island Railroad fcas been building a gigantic power house at Long leland City, which will be ready far use «arly next spring It Is one of the largest houses cf Its kind ever built. The electric system for the short haul service trill be the third rail. In recent years One sys tem has been so Improved that the live rail can be laid along the level cf a public thoroughfare •without being an ever threatening menace to human life. It win be the south side of Long Island which will Qnt have this change of mo tive power. The rapid transit service will be in a territory that is Quickly building up and that In unusually level. As fast as possible the rail road hi doing away with all the gTafie crossing* It can. The subway from the Battery to the Flatbush- B.ve. station of the railroad is not to be used, ac cerfiir.s to present plans. l>y the Long; Island trains, but it is expected that there win be har mony In se&edules that will let one set from the City Hall out on Long Island with the least pos sible, delay.

This question kfc.s '.een af«kefi mnny times stnee the meeting of the Canal Board last week. The Attorney GeneraTd record In the board previous to the ia.^t meeting ladl< ttes. that he Is fr!erdiy to canal interests, but his attitude last week leaves the point cpen to doubt. Mr. Cunning offere.; a resolution providing f->r lump sum pro; -. - g for canal construction. Mr. O'Brien, the Secretary oJ State, and other members of the board are cf the opinion that such a echeme Is not practica l>. To. exact bids of puoh a character means the exclusion of com;>etent nontra^tors who have, an ordinal" amount of capital at th*ir dis posal. It practically shuts off competition and encourages men of unlimited means and back ing. *uch as John B. McDonald, whose profits from th« New-York subway contract are figured In the millions. The opinion is express* d here that th« lump sum scheme would force the fig ures to such proportions as to defeat the pur pose of the proposition which met approval at the polls. Such a result would be pleasing to anti-canal men. The Attorney General Is thus open to the charge that he is looking for the votes and. favor of those who are opposed to canal im provement, and at the same time is advancing the interests of Democratic contractors who desire to get control of the $101,000,000 to be expended in the canal enlargement enterprise. The New-York Board of Trade and similar com mercial Interests in New-York, a* well as those in Buffalo, have worked faithfully for an im proved waterway, but it is not believed that they will indorse plans to favor any class of contractors.

MAYOR OUSTS WHOLE BOARD. TO GET HEAD OF MCARREX MAX EXTIRE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION IS REMOVED. PaH: Commissioner Schmiti Also Goes. Under Reform Association's Charges Brady Slated for Place. When the Information was spread thro-.iph the | city yesterday that Mayor McCiellan had re moved from office all th<* members of the Mv ! nictpal Civil Service Commission and the Park ! <~'orr.ini.«s!oner of The Bronx, on the ground that i there had been collusion In violating the Civil ' Service regulations, many P«opl« r - ver ' > heard j commending his action as shotting independence ; nnd fearlessness In upholding the law. When it ; became known a little later that the Mayor had appointed Plrd S. Coler to lx» president of the ; Municipal Civil Service Commission In pla.-e of I John H. McCooey, thus transferring a salary of ! $6,000 a year from one of Senator MoCarren's i lieutenants In Brooklyn t<> the man who has been ' put in training by Tammany as a leader of the i antt-McCarren forces, there was a perceptible ! change of sentiment, and a general expression i of belief that the Mayor's action was another I move In the fight of Charles F. Murphy, the ! Tammany leader, against Senator McCarren. This b*«li**f was mado more emphatic, partlcu ! larly among politicians, by the failure of th-» j Mayor to name a successor to William P. ! Schmitt, Park Commissioner of The Bronx, yes i terday. while he had bee prompt in selecting ! McCooey'a successor. Then the Mayor had ' asked for th« resignations of the officials, using ! the word "instanter" in McCooey'a case, and I had removed them from otlice without waiting ! for resignations, Indicating that his action had j been planned for some days and concealed i from th« officials as a surprise. The surprise caused a pathetic, almost dra - ' mat!'-, scene In the case of Commissioner ! Schmitt, who had gone to the City Hall before I noon, prepared to make a speech before the | Board of Estimate and Apportionment In sup j port of his Park Department estimate for 1903. j Apparently wanting to soften the blow as much as possible In his case, the Mayor had him called downstairs to his office and told by his secretary In advance of the public announce ment that the axe had fallen. Schmitt was so much overcome by the news that he nearly fainted. He went back to The Bronx, where he has a prosperous business as a brewer, without making any speech. Tax Commissioner John J. Brady, of The 1 Bronx, is slated to succeed Schmitt as Park i Commissioner in The Bronx. The post la one that Mr. Brady baa coveted for a long time. lie was a candidate for President of the Borough of The Bronx In ISM 7. but for the sake of polit ical expediency the nomination was given to Mr. Haffen, who hat* held to it ever since. Mr. Brudy is a wealthy lawyer and real estate oper ator. His salary as Tax Commissioner Is $7,000, and he will receive *8,000 as Park Commis sioner, but he prefers the work of Park Com missioner and will gladly accept the new post. His transfer to the Park Department will give Charles F. Murphy and his friends a chance to place a good Tammany man from Manhattan in Mr. Brady's place in the tax office. TWO MEMBERS HAD RESIGNED. MeCooey was the only one of the removed members of the. Municipal Civil Service Com mission Who received a salary, the $6,000 a year being paid to him as the president of the board. The other members of the commission actually removed are Edward A. CrownlnshleM, Joseph P. Day and Jerome Siegel. all Democrats. Hal Bell and Eugene F. O'Connor, the two Repub licans In the board, had resigned. In the case of Mr Bell, whose resignation had been accept ed ... September 2T. the Mayor wrote to him that he as sorry he had acted on the resigna tion at that time, as otherwise each commis sioner v.ould have received the same treatment. The Mayor yesterday accepted the resignation of Mr O'Connor, which was tendered as long ago as July 30. telling him he had been a "par ticipant B* the acts complained of." Messrs.

I am a Tammany Mail icrat, but I know the action of the Mayor is political, and 1 resent the slur he casts on of his own appointment by charging; collusion with the Park Commissioner of The Bronx The fact is that the Mayor was bound to take ofl M< - Cooey's head, because MeCboey is one of Sen ator BfcCarren** friends, and he felt obliged" to rnke ofl the rest of our heads to be consistent in his excuse that he was acting on the charges of the Civil Service Reform Association."

[TEOM TUB THIBrXE RCREAr. 1 V\'ash:rgton. Oct. s.— The extraoMmarj* sen timent!! expressed by Representative J. Thomas Ileflin. of Alabama, at Tuskegee. have aroused severe criticism on all sides in 'Washington, en tirely irrespective of party affiliations. Wash ington has thrice witnessed the painful events Incident to an assassination or' a President, and that a member of Congress should be smlty o ; such extravagant and reckless remarks has caused amazement and concern. There they sat, Roosevelt and Booker, and if por-'e Czolgosz or one of his kind h:«d thrown a Lornb unier th-» table no great harm would have been done the country. If Hooker Washington takes a hand in this thine it will be on" time I will ask him to step out. I will ask him to hands off. an-! you linow we have a way of Influencing down here. These are literal quotations from Representa tive Heflin's speech at Tuskesee yesfrdiy. as reported n a special dispatch to The Washing ton Post." Mr. Heflln is further reported to have sained notoriety recently by attacking Ju<i?e Jones, former Governor of Alabama, who has so successfuly stamped out the peonage sys tem in that State. Judse Jones was appointed to the bench by President Roosevelt on the In dorsement of ex-President Cleveland and others, and has proved himself a credit to the judiciary, having fearlessly attacked a system which amounted to slavery umler another name and which threatened to reinstate that institution in the South. It is cordially admitted by South erners themselves that the appointment of Judsa Jones was a happy one. and that his services have been of the utmoFt vrvlue to Alabama and, the nation. It is declared that his high stand ing in his community enabled him to work a re form which would have presented insurmounta ble obstacles to a jurist who had been allied with the Republican party In the South. It m generally remarked that, aside from their Inherent menace to the institutions of the na tion, Heflin's remarks of yesterday are typical of the .lass of men attracted by such inflam matory denunciations as that n.ade public a few days ago by Carl Schon and by the ful initiations of those aiit!-irriperi who mis represent the President as an absolutist, almost a tyrant, violating the Constitution and pervert ing the power ••: his office t.> override the law for bis own ends. The incendiary speech of the Alabama Con gressman hi regarded as differing only in degree from the allegations that the President has violated the law in his pension order. . violated the Constitution in his administration of the Philippines and abrogated international obliga tions In his recognition of the Republic of Pan ama. These extravagant personal denunciations and unwarranted reflections on a candidate for President are more than likely to lead men of limited mental calibre to express such senti ments as those uttered yesterday at Tuskegee. and they carry with them the menace of a repe tition of those great tragedies which have thrice marred the history of the nation, those who have studied the causes of the events referred to de clare. , . Men of higher Intelligence and greater political sagacity, capable of tine distinctions in their choice cf words, it is remarked, content them selves with presenting in subtle form ertt'eisnw of the President, not less dangerous intrfnsUal ly, and which afford a basis tor such deductions as* those made by the Alabama Congressman, and then nun incapable if insMloua suggestion and unskilled in the art of insinuation voice th-> sentiments for which Mr. BehUTS, Mr. Parker and Hoke .Smith are really responsible, with a frank brutality which shocks the entire public. For these reasons the thinking portion of the public Is, It 1» believed, more likeiy to blame the men whose insidious calumnies have resulted In the 'lie! I"1 ''" outburst than the misguided author of that fulnimation. and the Impression prevails In Washington that the Alabama Congressman's extravagance must have a tendency to curb th efforts of that new faction In the Democratic rational councils which has sought to inject slanderous personalities into a campaign which. trom the character of the candidates for Presi dent, should be peculiarly free from them. \-i experience that every American traveller should enjoy is a ride on the Empire State Express It the N«t»-Yorlt CentraL-Advt. rRICE THREE CENTS KCOCNS F. ©"CONNOR. WATSON iSKS FREE FIELD JI'.IXTS PARKER TO QUIT Fighter Needed to Beat Roosevelt?— The Dollar Dinner. "Tom" Watson, of Georgia, the candidate of the People's party for President, made a speech last night which roused his seven hundred hearers to tremendous enthusiasm. It was at the dollar dinner in Us honor at the Palm Gar den, Fifty-eighth-?*, and Third-aye. He saM h» was the only Democritlc leader fighting the Republtcan party, and he asked Al ton B. Parker t*» g»t out of his way and let him lead the Democratic hosts to victory. He declared Roosevelt could b-=* beaten only by a man who was not afraid to fight him. "Th» Democratic party t«>-n:?ht. on •he sth of October, 1004." said h», "consists of the Pre tence at E.«opu3 and a Reality b?re in the Palm GaM»n. As to the future, It depends on wheth er the man who Is wearing the mask shall hood wink the people an<i triumph, or whether Th*» hopes and airr.3 of true Democracy shall see its legitimate triumph in spite cf the sell-out at the St. Louis convention In July last.
