Secretary Whitney IL resolved to
guard the Government against the
wiles and stratcgems Of contractors
which have cost the country hundreds
Of millions Of dollars without any thing
substantial TO show for such expendi-
lures. In his instructions to the Board
on the new cruisers he says: 1.-The
point to be reached Is making tho
specifications and plans 50 detailed and
definite that the contractor and the
Government have their rights specifi.
cally defined. This is the only way to
insure close bidding. The contractor
ought to be able to take his contract
and specifications and plans and read
them as he would read book and 90
to his yard knowing precisely what he
has 70 do 70 comply with his obliga-
tons. - Albany Argus.

Justifying the Riot.

LONDON, February 9.-Sparling, a
Socialist leader, in an interview in rela-
ton to the part taken by Socialists in
the demonstration yesterday, said that
while he did not approve rioting, still
he could not but rejoice at the event
which went to show that society was
insecure. In regard to the stone throw
ing at Carlton Club, Sparkling said mem
bers of that body had brought the at
tack upon themselves by appearing at
the windows and laughing and jeering
at the mob. In explanation of the
rough treatment to which lady had
been subjected by the rioters, he said
her carriage had been stopped because
the lady was heard to order her coach
man to drive over those dogs" The
mob, Sparkling said. selected and at
tackled the shops which exhibited the
royal arms.

LONDON, February 9.-Fears are en-
tertained that the riots of yesterday
will be renewed to-day. This is what
could naturally be expected when the
immunityenjoyed by themob in its work
of destruction yesterday is considered.
The police showed they were entirely
powerless to cope with such force as
that with which they were confronted.
In anticipation of another demonstra-

and at this hour the crowd assembled

pearance as yet, and whether
any programme has been determined
on for another outbreak is not
known. The west end, to-day, wears
holiday appearance. A general feeling
of alarm and insecurity is felt among.
residents of that quarter, and most of
the shops are closed. Tradesmen are
indignant at the lack of protection
afforded them by the authorities and at
the impotency of the police. No instruc-
tons have been given to the police as
to what course to pursue in,the event OF
further outrages by the mob, and shop
keepers feel that they are entirely un-
guarded against the pillage and destruc-
ton of their property. Though it is
well-known who the leaders of the mob
are, no arrests of any one one con-
nected Herewith have been made.
Tradesmen propose to send petition
to the Home Office demanding that they
be afforded protection from the depre
datIons of the mob.

cratic federation, ulsc AIMS any IespU

the distress existing among the working

says, and if the authorizes refuse to

Who Is He?

New HAVEN, February Give years
ago Wilson Waddingham, q millionaire
of California, began the erection of a
$500, 900 residence at West Haven and
engaged as his supervising architect
and dIsbursing agent, James Scott. of
Salt Lake City, a Mormon. Recently
WadGingham had reason to believe
Scott was dishonest. He engaged an
attorney to investigate the matter, and
five weeks ago Scott was arrested and
placed in charge of deputy sheriff who
bias kept him under his eye ever since,
The matter has been kept very quiet
When first arrested Scott stoutly denied
his guilt, but last night confessed that
he had embezzled about $4,000 and
claimed that several prominent mer-
chants of this city were implicated with
him. He claimed that he received bills
from merchants for about one-thirc
more than the regular price of the
articles purchased and after paying the
bills divided the surplus with the mer-
chants. Scott was paid salary of s.
per day, given a commodious resi-
dence and allowed $1,000 per week tc
pay the expenses of construction.

The religion of the Burmese is Bud
dhism, pure and simple, which has been
kept so by the pongyees, or holy men in
the country. Of these there are great
numbers, who devote themselves TO
study, meditation and the education of
the young. While not exactly priests,
they have some OF the characteristics OF
the priesthood, taking VOWS of celibacy
and holiness. these are not irrevo-
cable, but a monk may, at any time and
without disgrace, his VOWS
and 90 back to the world, taking a wife,
and living as other men do. On this
account there are few men of ability or
prominence among the Burmese who
have not at some time taken the VOWS
and worn the habit OF a pongyee.
Their religion is, however, mixed
with many superstitions. To meet a
funeral or a person crying, when you
are starting on a journey, is unlucky,
and the Quincy should be postponed.
A snake crossing the road indicates that
the journey will be long while the sight
Of mushrooms as starting foretells the
prosperity Of the Journey. An unusual
wild animal entering a house foretells
honor for the owner, while the itching
of the palms is a sign Of money coming
into them.
