Good News for Claremont Deposltors

The receivers of the Sullivan say
ings institution of Carcmont, who,
last week, were quoted as authority
for the statement that there was little
prospect of an immediate dividend
to relieve the anxious depostors,
whose money is tied up under re-
ceivership process, announce that Il
dividend of from 10 to IS per cent
will be paid before September L.,
and possibly us early as August IS.
This dividend, it is stated, will set
loose from $4,000 to $ISo,ooo to
be drawn by the depositors.

With the final passage of the tariff
bill will come Il breath of relief from
the business world in spite Of the
foggincss OF some of its schedules,
characteristic of most high protcc-
tive tariff measures. Very few be-
sides those individually interested
understand the thing beyond the fact
that from beginning to end it out
does any previous measure devised
for the taxation of the mass of the
people and for the benefit of Il privi-
legged few. Its practical effect will
not be felt for some time, for its
operations have been anticipated by
the manufacturers and business men
and their importations of raw ma
tcrlals and manufactured articles
have made them Indifferent as to
market fluctuations for months to
come.
Oh the utility of some of our state
commissions there are many misgiv-
ings, but there is no question as to
the practical value of the work of
the fish commissioners aside from its
interest to sportsmcn. There is, too,
a general appreciation of the COM
missions efforts to protect Nermont's
streams, but of one common error
the st. Johnsblmy Republican says
sit is a mistake to suppose that
the development of the fisheries is
simply move in the interest of Il
few so-called sportsmcn. 1t has
been proven over and over again, in
other states, that broader view of
this question Is the proper and prof
table view to take ; that well-stocked
streams and ponds and lakes mean
something more than sport for the
resident fishermen; that they mean
lucrative increase of the summer
visitor business; that they ensure Il
substantial addition to the food sup
ply of the residents of the state. If
these things have been shown to be
so elsewhere, beyond Il dorbt-and
most satisfactory statistics are not
wanting--then they can be shown to
be SO right here in Vermont, for no
other state in the country has more
natural facilities along these lines"

NOT NEEDED AT TANGIER.
No Occasion for the Presence of an
American Fleet.

According to the officials of the State and
Navy Departments there Is no occasion for
the dispatch of a naval fleet to Tangier to
enforce the promised settlement of claims
against Morocco, growing out of the recent
maltreatment of certain natives under the
protection of American merchants. A re-
port to that effect was cabled from Tangier
yesterday.
it is stated at the Navy Department to-
day that nothing has been heard from Ad-
miraI Selfridge. commanding the European
fleet. to indicate the necessity for d naval
demonstration against Morocco, and that
certainly no orders have been sent him
from Washington on, that point. The flag
ship San Francisco recently paid Il snort
visit to Tangier and returned to Gibraltar
from that port yesterday. It's departure
from the Morocco port is accepted as an
indication that there was occasion for
its presence there. 1t is not improbable that
the San Francisco or some other vessel of
the European fleet may be sent to Tangier
in case Consul General Burke meets with
opposition in his efforts to secure the in
demnity promised by the Sultan of Mo-
rocco in satisfaction of the indignties in
fcted on American dependents. The naval
authorities do not. however, anticipate such
contingency, as the latest reports indi-

MAY BE USED FOR PRIZES.
The Controllers View of the ADpro-
printion for Local Rite PrEctIcc.

A few days ago the District Commits
sioners addressed a letter to Controller
Tracewell of the treasury, saying that in
the appropriation act for the District mill
tia is a provision of 5000 for expenses of
rife practice and matches" and asking:
"It is proposed to offer cash prizes to in
dividuals for competition in these matches,
and the Commissioners will thank you to
advise them if, in your opinion, the law
contelnplates or allows the use of the ap-
preparation for this purpose
In answer to the question Controller
Tracewell writes to the Commissioners:
This precise question was submitted to
and decided by my prede cessor In office on
the 20tn of May last. In answer to the
question propounded to him as to whether
this appropriation could be used for the
payment Of cash prizes, we'll as in the
purchase of articles to be given as prizes,
he said, in the opinion referred to:
Il know of no law which prohibits the
conduct of matches in the manner sug-
gested. AS the appropriation is made speci-
fcally for expenditure under the authority
of the Commissioners. l am of the opinion
that the question of it's use in the payment
of cash prizes is one for the determination
of your board, in the exercise of the dis
cretion given by Congress-
THE responsibility of the expenditure of
this appropriation, within the limits of
rifle practice and matches, rests entirely
with you.
Il have decided opinion as to the
question Of propriety of this kind of ex-
question before me. Under the appropria-
ton you have legal right to expend any
portion of the 5000 in the payment of
cash prizes"

Was Used as a Yellow Fever Hospital
in New Orleans.
IN CHARGE OF SISTERS OF CHARITY
They and the Surgeons Were First
Warned to Vacate.
ANOTHER ATTEMPT FEARED

NEW ORLEANS, La, September "a
Efficient work by the fire department in
face of the attacks of a. mob enabled the
department this morning to save the main
portion of the Beauregard School building.
Only the annexe, of the structure were re-
duced to ashes. The alarm was sounded
at 1890 am.
After the mass meeting of citizens held
last night a riotous crowd of people gather
ed around the building and openly threat
ered that at first opportunity they would
fire it.
Throughout yesterday evening Sister
Agnes and a number of Sisters of Charity,
together with help from the hospital, had
been putting the building in order for the
reception of yellow fever patients. The
school board, in the meantime, had re-
moved frcm the building every desk and
other article of furniture and the hospital
people had moved into the building cots
and other necessary adjuncts for the treat
ment of yellow fever patients.
Notified to Leave.
At nghtfall Surgeon Bloom of the hos
pital. the sisters and others had been warn
ed that they had best leave the building.
They did so. headed by Sister Agnes, and
threaded their way through dense crowd
of panic stricken citizens.
Then a small force of police was ordered
to the scene. But the members of the mob
bent on incendiarism, were sharper than
the guards, and, while the police We're
busily engaged in attempting to quell the
riotouS crowd in front of the building, two
incendiaries with five-gallon can of oil
proceeded to the rear and quickly had the
building in flames
Cut the Engine Hose.
An alarm was turned in, but the first
neighboring engine had scarcely arrived
when its hose was cut. When other en-
gines arrived their hose was also destroyed
by the mob. Chief Caster and Captain
Journee finally arrived in a patrol wagon
with a big squad of officers, which beat
the mob back. Then the fremen went
actively to work and succeeded in prevent
ing the absolute destruction of the building
The action of the mob is roundly de-
nounced on all sides this morning. The
school was 4 handsome building, entirely
isolated and situated in the center of a
large square. There was no danger of in
fection from it, and the people in the neigh
borhood are unduly alarmed.
Another Attempt Proba ;le..
Unless, however, a company of soldiers is
ordered out to protect the building ii is not
improbable that a second attempt will be
made to destroy it tonight.
