VETO in TIE AIR.
Mayor Hoos Has Prepared a
Knock Out for the Tax Bud
get Will Be Oyerridden.

Yesterday and last night the Mayor pre-
pared what is supposed to be veto OF
the tax budget as submitted to him by
the Finance Board. The document, it is
said, is tart one. 1t contains caustic
references to the fact that his wishes
We're ignored and his suggestions given
absolutely no consideration.
When the budget was adopted by Com
missioners Brautigam. Kellers, Bailey
and Simpson, Commissioner Midiige made
many objections. He charged that the
budget had been padded and declared that
it was waste of money to provide
salaries for the sinecurists which several
branches of the city government main
tain. One in particular was the Office of
Personal Tax Collector held by William
Broas. The others were chiefly in the
City Hall Commission. All the points
raised and made by Mr. Midlige have been
carefully looked into by His Honor and
will, 1t is said, be made use of in his
veto.
The Finance Commissioners expect the
veto and for the purpose of receiving it
have called special meeting for Friday
morning at ten o'clock 1t was reported
today that if the Mayor handles the FL
nance Commissioners roughly, they will
answer him by explaining their reasons
for making the budget as it is.
His Honors veto will be overridden by
the same vote by which the budget was
adopted.

going to Newark have taken York street.

they are compelled to turn into Grand

consequences of this heavy trucking has
been that the asphalt grew to be full of

TORPEDO WA RFARE

NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. II. 189I.-7Th =.
naval authorities are at present discussing
plans for the development of torpedo war

that while systems of tactics for the
working of squadrons of larger and
slower craft are available, up to the pres

tions for the manoeuvring of the torpedo.

done in anticipation of the finishing of
the new vessels which are being rapidly
made ready for service and which prob
ably will be added to the fleet during the
fall.
The matter is now in the hands Of
conference of officers who have had some
experience with the little craft. at Wash

has formed the opinion that 1t is inn
practicable to attempt to manoeuvfe. a.
torpedo fleet after the methods used by
larger vessels.
In this connection, experts point out the
fact that the torpedo boat makes its at
tack by stealth and hence much depends
upon the daring of each individual com
mander. rather than on the direction of
the senior officer in charge Of the fleet,

line by signals, as in case of the admiral

Moreover. it is claimed. the torpedo

MAIL BOXES ON STREET CARS.
Experiment Tried In Des Moines May
Hecome a PoEtOfflce Rule.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II, 1s91-The
Postofice Department has received a re-
port from Des Moines, Iowa, where an
experiment is being tried Of having street
letter boxes attached to all the street
cars of the city and large share of
mail collection taken up by them. The
cars in Des Moines all run past the Post
office. They stop at all places TO receive
a letter or other mail matter, and as
they come by the postotIice carrier
takes the mail from the boxes.
During the month of July there were
collected by this means in Des Moines
2s,237 letters, 6,059 cards and AL pieces of
second. third and fourth class mail mat
ter. 1t shows an increase Of 300 pieces
over June, and the postmaster is of the
opinion that owing to many cars run be-
ing open and no boxes attached there
was not SO much collected by this
means as there would be if all the cars
were closed. If the experiment is sue
cessful it will be tried in other cities
where similar conditions prevail.
