THE MonTAuK CREW.
The Gallant Tars VIII Arrive Home To-
night.

Mayor Randall received telegram
from Lieut.. H. NJ. Bigelow OF the U. >.
S. Montauk, yesterday from Philadelphia
stating that.the officers and crew belong
ing to the Portland contingent,sWoul ar
rive home on the New York boat, tne
Manhattan, this evening. The boys Will
be gladlyswelcomed home by their many
friends. 1t is not improbable that some
notice will be taken of the event for the
men have done four months duty faith
fully. and it would not be unbecoming II
they were met by a band and escort to
their quarters if they have not been
mustered out of service.
1t has been suggested and the sugges-
tion will undoubtedly be carried out, If
that can be done in the brief time which
remains today, that the Montauk boys
be met at the boat by detachment of the
First regiment, composed of men now in
the city, and the High School Cadets,
with the American Cadet band and
escorted up India to Congress street and
to City hall, where they will be received
by the mayor. They will then proceed to
the square down Middle to Exchange
street to the Armory. where they will be
dismissed.

CUSTOMS TROUBLES
Experienced by Capt. Hansen OF the Bark
Amazon.

The Norwegian bark Amazon, Captain
Charles Hansen arrived yesterday morn
ing from Irving, Scotland.
On Deputy Collector Farnsworth's list
of foreign ports that support United
States consul or consular agent Irving,
Scotland, does not appear, and it is
worth lust $4,000 to Captain Hansen that
irving does not appear on the custom
house list.
Captain Hansen has not been to this
conn5ry before for twenty years. and he
neglected to provide himself with a bill
of health from the port of departure. The
fine for this neglect is $4,000, so when
Cantain Hansen arrived here and found
this ont from the customs officers who
boarded him, he was naturally little
narvous Then some one was allowed on
hoard the bark before the custom house
officers and the physicians set foot on
deck Ii was casually mentioned that
this meant a fine of $50 for the captain
and $50 for the man that went on board.
II was understood that the bark's mani
fest was not made out any too soon. If a
vessel from foreign port arrives with
ont a manifest it means another $500. AS
the bark came in light an inventory of
the ship's stores is all that was necessary.
Upon consulting the record it was found
that unless the port the vessel sails from,
supports United States consul or con-
sular agent no bill of health Is required.
AS Irving has neither, this let Capt.
Hansen out. He will have one, however,
the next time he visits here.
The other question; that OF allowing
any one to board foreign vessel before
the doctor and custom house officers
board her. was also settled without
trouble. 1t is the impression among
great many that this is the rule and that
violation of it is punishable by tne AT
the custom house, however, it was stated
to the PRESS that the rule applies only
to vessels from foreign count IS bringing
immigrants. II the captain a vessei ar
irving from a foreign port Win SIMPLY
his crew on board, chooses to allow any
one to come on his vessel there is no law
to stop it.

COLLISION IN HARBOR.
The Island Belle and Eldorado the
Boats.

The Island Belle and Eldorado were in
collision yesterday morning at O'Clock
near Great Diamond island and the for
mer steamer had three stanchions, some
side planking and two windows broken.
Men on the Island Belle say they were
taking the workmen to the government
works and ran alongside of the Eldora-
do, which was performing similar mis-
sion. The two steamers got pretty close
and the bell was given to slowa down to
allow the Eldorado to CROSS her bows.
Instead of doing this, they say, the Cas-
co Bay boat sheered into them, striking
them bow on nearly amidships and do
ing the damage stated above.
Men ON the Eldorado say that both
boats were nearing Diamond island with
the Eldorado as near the shore as it was
possible to run her with safety. They
state that the Belle came in front Of
tn EN- and that they either had to run
ashore or else veer out into deep water.
They adopted the latter course with the
result that d collision followed. The
Bellies injuries will not keep her from
her regular time table.

No MORE TO BE MUSTERED OUT.

Washington, September 10 Tremendous
pressure Is still being brought to bear on
the war department to have more troops
mustered ont of the service. Efforts in
this direction, however, are Of no avail.
It is announced today with increased en-
phasis, that there Will be no more troops
mustered out. The situation does not ad-
NIT Of any further reduction in the army
and efforts are being made to put those
volunteers who are retained in the service
as near as possible ON the footing OF the
regulars ins the matter of drill and
discipline. GA little over q, 600 have al
ready been mustered out, and it is an
nounced positively that there will be no
more mustered out, no matter what In
fiuence Is Brought to bear. The retention
Of the volunteers now in the service and
the efforts to improve the morale of the
army has in view the Philippine situation
more than that of Cuba and Porto Rico,
although there is great deal Of vague
ness as to the danger apprehended there.

There was more fun at Rigby yester-
day than on the opening day and the at
tendance was better, but there was more
people present from Boston and Other
cities outside of this state than went out
from Portland and Its suburbs. Merri.
mans band was there to enliven the peri
DDS betweeniheats.
The afternoon was given up to three
raoss, and though they ell went off in
straight heats, there was much sporting
interest.in them.s Two of the events, the
g. II trot and 227 trot, were Transy lvania
stakes, the entries being made last spring
and the nominations closed two weeks
before the meeting. Both of these classes
were exciting races.

pool box to pin their hopes to her today.
Matched against her were The Swift

from the Empire farm at Copake, N. T.,
but neither of them was able to. force her
anywhere near her Cleveland mark.
In the big field.of 217 trottsrs. Matte
Patterson had been. picked to win, and
she did 1t with apparent ease. sShe is 9
flve-year old, ownedrby M. A. Hanna Of
Cleveland, o. ,..and has a record Of 200 IA
She has won insthree big races this season
and in several small ones. her most nota.

share Of the $4,000 purse at Hartford.
All Of the other good ones in the field
tried their best toshead her. but without
avail. Her nose was always at the front
when the finish wire was reached.
The 227 trotting class WAS a drop fol
the gentry who have the advance naming
of the winners. They had looked careful.

her entry for her owner, but her fourth
place in the summary was no consolation
to the plungers who backed her.

after his closest rival, the Brooklyn horst

by reason of his cranky action.
Two races besides the match between
