MORE! SENSATIONS
BROUGHT j OUT BEFORE THE
LEXOW COMMITTEE.
Saper intendent Byrnes States pChat
He Has KesiRned Be Places His
Wealth at $350,000, Most of
it Made lor Him by Jay!
Gould He Says the
Police Force is in
Bad Condition.
KirwVnpir! "Op 29. Th Tjfixnwoim.
mittee concluded its hearings to-dar and
adjourned subject to the call of the
chairman. "The day was full of sensa
tions i the cimax was reached as Super
intendent Byrnes announced that he had
tendered his resignation from the police
force! The announcement came at the
conclusi6n oi a series of questions by Mr,
Goff as to disagreement" between Mr.
Byrnes and the police board. Mr) Goff
asked: I , - -1
"Have there been any occasions in
which any of the police commissioners
interfered with you regarding J your
orders to the captains in the election of
1892?" i
"There was a serious difference of
opinion." The witness then said that
President Martin came to tne meeting
of th0 captains and made a speech to the
rL j : u i t
did not like what he said, as I thought I
had explained myself satisfactorily. He
spoke in regard to the Federal officers."
"If Mr. Martin said you invited mm
to the meeting, would he say what was
true or untrue? f
'.He said what was untrue. When the
meeting was over, two of the captains
came back and kissed my hand for the
stand I had taken in the matter; I
simplyjwanted to protect our citizens in
voting. . I
"Do you say the police, deparment at
the preseut time is in a g6od or bad con
dition?" I !
"It is in a bad condition." f .
"And can you, as Buperintendf nt, ef
fect any change for the better at pres-
entr i
'No, sir. If a man was not a strong
man as superintendent his offic would
bs a nonenity."
"And if he is a strong man nejis con
stantly fighting with the board?"
"That's my case."
Mrl Goff then asked the Superintend
ent: how it was that the five special offi
cers he had sent to the Eleventh brecinct
to get evidence against disorderly houses
did st report a single house, while the
agents of Dr. Parkhurst secured evidence
which convicted hve keepers of disor
derly houses. He asked the superintend'
ent if that did not show inemciency in
his men.
MI confess it does in that specific case,"
replied Mr.! Byrnes.
Superintendent Byrnes then made his
startling statement: i j
MI feel assured that the commissioners
wanted to get rid of me, and I f wanted
to retire, but I refrained, from a sense of
duty to the- citizens of New Yok. The
views of the commissioners do not agree
with mine1. Whatever the incoming
mayor and authorities want to dp, I will
not interfere with them. 1 have been
thirty-two years in the department and
an willing to retire. ,
The supermtendent then handed Mr.
Goff a letter which he had sent to
Mayor-elect Strong, on December 13fch,
1894. It ran as follows:
"Dear Sir: I appreciate as fully as any
man can the tremendous responsibilities
that will come upon you when you as
sume the duties of mayor and under
take the reform of the variousjj depart
ments of the city government! I de
sire not to be an embarrassment? in any
thing 'you propose to do with the police
department. Un the contrary, I wish to
aid you in any way that I can. I assume
you are ' now considering what action
you are going to take at - the outset or
your administration and what! legisla
tion will bp required to make such ac
tion practicable. I therefore, now place
in your hands by request to be retired
from the post of superintendent, to be
used by you or not at any i time after
January 1st, as you see fit.
f'Let mo further say that youljmay be
entirely free to command my services,
advice and information at anyf time in
regard to the affairs of the police de
partment, iwith which I have been so
long connected. j
I Your obedient seryant.
j ! Thomas Byknes."
The reading of the letter caused a sen
sation in court. I
This closed the story of the I superin
tendent and the hearing of the Lexow
committee was practically at an end.
Preceding this sensational climax, Mr.
Byrnes underwent a searching examina
tion as to how much he is worth and how
he acquired his fortune. He admitted
that he is now worth in real estate and
personal property 1350,000, alLexeepting
a few thousand dollars, acquired in stock
speculations conducted by. his 1 friends.
Jay Gouh had made $230,000 for him
and since j Jay Gould's death I his son
George had added $43,000 to Byrnes'
wealth. He started from a small begin
ning, and from his savings and a small
inheritance, received in 1869, aid $6,000
made for him by Commodore Varderbilt,
Byrnes found himself in 18i0 wdrth $15,
000 to $30,000. Vanderbilt had (invested
$2,000 for Byrnes and returned $6,000.
Byrnes nad gained Jay Gould's good
will by ridding him of a writer of
threatening letters. Gould tendered
Byrnes a gift of money which he de
clined. Shortly 'afterwards Gould of
fered to buy stocks and hold them for
Byrnes and Byrnes gave Gould $10,000
to operate upon. Then Byrnes -wealth
grew constantly as long as he 1 dijl not
himself mingle in the busiss. j He sav
that when he undertook to dabble in
stocks upon his own jud&uient he lost
mon'jy. He is at present a large holder
of shares. I The Goulds, however, were
not the only people wbo had befriended
him, bit xvrnes decunea to name any
others,

After an ! hour a deliberation, the com
mittee reported that it was " desired to
organize local clubs, i admitting women
to membership, whether they were voters
or not, and do everything possible to get
literature before the public. The dis
cussion of jthe question developed that
the masses were . suspicious of the
leaders. Numerous speeches were made,
opposing a clause authorizing the ap
pointment! of a national campaign com
mittee. The clause was construed to
mean the control" and censorship of the
campaign j and numerous speeches alony
thi3 line j culminated in a speech by

- Good Health, j "
London, Dec. 29, The Japanese Gov
ernment has made no response to the
fresh suggestions from the British Gov
ernment that the terms upon which
Japan is willing to treat for peace
with China ought to be communicated
to the powers. On the contrary, s the
Japanese have persisted in I maintaining
a policy of reticence. The British
Minister at Tokio has been unable to
get the slighest scrap of official informa
tion upon the subject of the conditions
for which Japan will contend and
the Japanese Embassy in London is
equally secretive. j i
The leading principle of lithe negotia
tions between the two Eastern empires.
as iar as j apan is concerned, win be a
total abstination from any demand
which would give China an excuse to
ask for European intervention. Japan,
therefore, will not stipulate fori any
territorial or commercial acquisitions in
which the other powers ji are directly
interested. Formosa will b9 taken by
Japan as part of a pledges for war in
demnity and certain Chinese ports that
are not treaty ports will be held as a
pledge for the remainder of the in
demnity, together with such a lien upon
the Chinese customs as will not prejudice
the customs revenues already mortgaged.
In regard to Uorea, it is probable that a
China-Japanese dual control over that
country will be proposed. I i
These terms, which are li divulged b
the Japanese Embassy, are a great I deal
more moderate than those i described in
the sensational cablegrams received here
from Tokio and elsewhere and have the
stamp of belief in diplomatic circles.
As the great body ot the members of
the Liberal party are resolved that there
shall be some practical intervention in
Armenia and have relied upon the ! Gov
ernment to carry out their plans, there
is great surprise among them at rinding
that the ioreign committee of inquiry
which is going to Armenia is composed
only of dragomans. Russia's delegate,!
M. Maior, has been a dragoman attached
to the Russian embassy at Constantino
pie. M. i Vilvert, the French delegate;
is an interpreter m the employ
of the French consulate at the
Turkish capital, and England's delegate;
Mr. bhapeley, is a vice consul to Turkey;
The personnel ofjthe commission, asgthus
described, gives no security, says the
Speaker that there will be a satisfactory
inquiry, mere is nttie nope now, con
tinues the Speaker, of 'getting at the
truth even if the dragomans should be
allowed, as they will not ibe, to take an
active part in the investigation.! Eng
land ought to come to some agreement
.with Russia, without delay, to the end
of taking-action together ior without the
co-operation of the powers and thev
should act at once. A word from Eng
land would lead to a revolution inCreete
and Macedonia and even in Constantino
pie. :- f. i

Mr- Wm. Mm. O'Brien has unearthed
a shrewd dodge on the part of the Mar
quis of Sligo to extort poor rates ieven
from the poorest of his tenants, i Under
the provisions of the Land act, when the
valuation of a tenant is ! under J4 the
landlord must pay the poor rates instead
of the tenant. Lord bligo, however,
has grouped his tenants wno pay
less than 4 for ! their hold
mgs as tenants in common and in
this way he is enabled to skin even the
1 holders out of the poor rates. The

exposure it is easy to see how he does it.
