Durham Replte. To Cresweu.

WAsHINGToN, Sept. IT. = Comptroller Durham to-day addressed letter to Hon. John A. Creswell, counsel for the govern ment in the Alabama court, in reply to his letter of September 11th. Judge Durham reaffirms his conclusion that the salary of the attorney was illegally fixed at $S, 900. He holds that what may have been said in de- bate in Congress or in the committee has no bearing on the question. Respecting the de cision of his predecessors as to the legality of the accounts, Judge Durham denies that they are binding upon him. He does not question that the services of counsel for the government were valuable but as it appears that $167, ,00O was paid to special counsel he thinks that the compensation was ample for the service rendered.

SCHOOL MATTERS IN BOSTON.
The Women Being Assessed to Permi
 of Their Voting.

of Their Voting.
 BOSTON, Sept. 14.-There is no question of the reality of the movement among the Catholic women of Boston to exercise this year the right of school suffrage. The as- sessors' office has been thronged to-day as it was Saturday by women applying to be as sessed and the office has been obliged to withhold the tax bills until the rush of en- rollment is over, which under the law will be tomorrow night. At 1 o'clock to-day the total number of women enrolled for as- sessment at the City Hall office was about nine hundred against total of only two hundred and seventy last year. Of these one hundred and eighty were enrolled this morning. Many colored women were among the number and it is believed at least ninety per cent. are Catholics. The applicants are for the most posted in the law rela- tive to voting and are well aware as to the steps they must take to secure the partial right of citizenship ac- corded them by the statute. The registrars of voters are also having a lively time of it in entering the names of ladies who want to vote this year on the school question. A majority of the early applicants to-day were unmistakably Protestants and as unmistak- ably under the impression that there is need of prompt and earnest action to prevent the capture of the public schools by Catholic voters for sectarian purposes.

 Both vessels were lowed up to their chorages. The steamers went up the bay and landed their thousands of passengers. But away behind was big fleet of schooners, sloops, catboats and every other sort of boat. They completely choked the entrance to the Narrows and as they struck the strong ebb tide and remained stationary they had just enough wind to stem the tide. But if they could not sail they could sing and shout and cheer. It was a most remarkable sight, but the tind finally turned and they sailed home. When the Genesta reached her anchorage it was discovered that she had split the yoke of her topmast So the committee gave her to- morrow to make repairs.

GLOUCESTER, Sept. 14.-The police court
 was packed to-day to hear the cases against
 the houses of ill-fame prosecuted by Mayor
 Parsons. Abundant testimony was offered
 that the Nickerson house was house of ill.,
 fame. Policemen testified that the wife of

 ed the place and John c. Fink, a spotter ,tes-
 tifsd that he visited the plate pretending to
 be patron and while there remarked that
 he was afraid of police raid The girls
 said there was no danger as some of the pc lice called there and had good time One
 she described in particular and said that the
 previous Wednesday night two called and
 one stopped until o'clock in the morning
 and got pretty full. He had drawn money on account from the Mayor. Adolphus A. Green, another spotter, testified that he went to the Western avenue house and going up- stairs talked with Dora Gerald who said that two officers and the marshal visited there She described the officers. At this point City Marshal Tarr demanded the right to de fend his character and asked the judge to ask the witness if he believed the story to be true, for he said that he was the prosecuting officer of the city. He was being assailed and he had the right | to be vindicated. He said, ffThe end is not yet" Nickerson was found guilty and fined l S75 and costs and sentenced to six months in l jail. He appealed and was held in $500.

Jane said there was no cause for alarm as there was a gong ! to ring in case the police came; and she also said that she and the marshal went to school | together. Lawyer Flaherty for the defense l argued that Fink and Green were not licensed as detectives in Massachusetts and were lia- ! ble to prosecution. The court ruled that
 this did not except their testimony and Jane 1 was fined $75 and costs and six months in | the house of correction. She appealed and | was held in $500.
