Feat of a Stenographer.

A correspondent of the London
Telegraph relates the following
concerning Thomas Allen Reed,
an expert stenographer, whose
death was recently reported: Reed
was once on professional business
in Liverpool, and stayed in the
same hotel as Charles Mathews,
the actor. The latter had APP
peared in "My Awful Dad" and
after the performance he strolled
into the smoking room. Having
heard of Mr.. Reeds experiences as
a note-taller, Mathews challenged
the reporter to jot down certain
passages from the character of
Puff in Richard Brinsley Sheri-
dams "Critic.' Reed expressed
his willingness to have a try. Mat
hews, who was one of the best
'patter" speakers on the stage,
began to gable the lines with
startling rapidity, and the other
strained every nerve to follow
him. When the test was finished
Reed, whose notes, despite the
terrific speed at which he had
been writing, were of neat and
legible outline, merely inserted a
vowel mark or two and handed
them to an assistant who was
called into the room, and who
transcribed the characters with
but few mistakes. backward! 81
should hardly have thought it pos.
sible, Mr.. Reedw was the astonish,

Won Buelow Wants Damages.

Baron Won Buelow says Ger
many will demand an indemnity
for damage to the property of and
arrest of her citizens in Samoa,
and the news has created quite u
stir in state department circles ut
Washington. Information comes
that our government will resist

1t is thought the baron has ref

the Smelling of the coast towns by
the British ana American ships,
the damage caGsed by the riots at
Apia and the case of Huffnagle,
who was accused of assisting the
Matafaas in their ambush of the
British and American marine col
umn. Any serious trouble in the
matter, it is asserted, will depend
on the attitude of Germany.
The fact that America and
Great Britain are equally respon-
sible makes the matter more in
teresting.

 It was learned last night from reli- able source that Secretary Thrasher of the Law and Order league has received reports from his detectives on the Dan- bury fair grounds and it was stated that he intended to go to Danbury to- day and give the matter his personal attention MT. Thrasher claims that he has received reports from his agents relative to the situation at the Danbury fair, but just what action he proposed to take he would not say. Relative to the apparent inaction of the local au- thorities, he said: II do not know why they do not act, out 1 am informed that they are somewhat indifferent It is fortunate, however, that we are not de- pendant altogether upon the local police authorities to apprehend offenders of the 4kind complained of at the fair Any judge of the superior court or court of common pleas may issue search and seizure warrants, and either court may issue bench warrants.

WARSHIPS FOR PHILIPPINES
M'KINLEY ORDERS 4i REINFORCE
 MENI OF 4SIATIC SQUADRON.
Vessels to be Dispatched at Once-.The Action the Result of the Conference Crush the Rebellion at the Earliest Possible Time.

| Washington, Oct. 1.-The president I to-day directed the immediate despatch 1 to the Philippines of a number of ves- sels of the navy, including the cruiser | Brooklyn, and the gunboats Marietta | and Machias. The action is the result of Admiral Dewey's interview to-day in which he went over the Philippine l situation with the president, and is in line with the expressed determination
 of the president to furnish the army
 and navy every resource for stamping
 out the Philippine insurrection at the
 earliest possible time.
 At Admiral Dewey's extended inter
 view with the president to-day the former went into the Philippine situa- tion at great length explaining careful
 ly the existing condition of affairs and
 his views of the outlook, concluding
 with an earnest recommendation that the Brooklyn and some other vessels
 be sent at once to the Philippines. This reinforcement of the present fleet of the Asiatic squadron he urged as nec- essary and said their despatch should be directed as early as possible. The president immediately communicated with the navy department and instruct ed the secretary of the navy to issue an order carrying out the admiraPs recommendation and to see that they be got in readiness at once. The Ma rietta and Machias beside the Brooklyn will be designated by the navy depart ment, along with several other vessels which have not yet been selected. The Brooklyn Is now with the other vessels of the North Atlantic squadron off Tompkinsvlle, s. l. The Machias and the Marietta are at present lying at their Wharves in this city on waiting orders The administration believes the presence of these endorsements will have material effect in expediting the end of the hostiities in the Philip pines.
 The Brooklyn is an armored cruiser of the first class, carrying 20 main bat tery guns and having a total displace- ment of 9,215 tons. The Marietta Is composite gunboat of 1000 tons dis placement and with a main battery equipment of six guns The Machias, with displacement of 1177 tons, car fes battery of eight guns. It is not known how soon these vessels can be made ready, but their orders are to get away as early as possible and no delay is anticipated. Their commanders on arriving at Manila. will report without delay to the admiral commanding the Asiatic station for orders.

EXECUTION PREYENTED.
Deputy sherif Threatened to Attach
 Waterbury Fire Enginec.


 Judge Elmer of the superior court yesterday afternoon granted temper ary injunction restraining Minnie A.. Thompson of Litchfield and Deputy Sheriff Rigney of Waterbury from exc cution of judgment of $2,50O against the city of Waterbury. It seems that about two years and half ago Minnie A. Thompson fell on an icy crosswalk in Waterbury and sustained injuries to the spine which crippled her for life. She brought suit against the city of Waterbury. About two years ago the suit was tried before Judge Shumway and the plaintiff was awarded a judg ment for $2500. Notice of an appeal was filed by Colonel Burpee, counsel for the city, and the case has since dragged along on findings of facts.
 Deputy Sheriff Rigney on Tuesday threatened execution on the judgment against the city and threatened to at tach fire engines unless the Judgment was paid. The injunction was obtained yesterday by Colonel Burpee to prevent execution of the judgment until after the appeal is settled.

THE R-I CE TO-DAY
VIII be Over the Same Course Will
 Start Fifteen Minutes Earlier.


 New York, Oct. 4.-Some uncertainty has prevailed as to the course which will be sailed tomorrow by the Colum- bia and the Shamrock. The matter was settled, however, definitely this af- ternoon at a meeting of the regatta committee. After the meeting, s. N. Kane announced that tn-morrow's race would be as on Tuesday-fifteen miles to windward or leeward and a beat back. The agreement between Sir Thomas Upton and the Columbia's owner provides that when it is impos- sible to finish contest within the time limit the same class of race must be continued until a decision is reached. Consequently before the two boats can meet on the three leg bout it will be necessary to settle their capabilities on, the straightaway run of fifteen miles. In consequence of the quickly waning daylight at this time of the year the regatta committee determined to-day that the start should be at 10:45, diff ference of fifteen minutes from the time previously fixed for the yachts going over the line. The inconclusve ending of Tuesdays encounter has tended ma terially to whet the interest of the yachting enthusiasts in the final out come of the battle for the cup.

HOS7ILITIES ARE IMMINENT,
BOers Closing In on Natal Frontier
 More Gold Seized

London, Oct. 5--A despatch from
 Newcastle, Natal, dated Wednesday
 says: "The Boers have left the laager at Volksrust and are moving toward
 the frontier. The situation is most critical. The magistrates and munich pal officers have assembled in the town hall to concert measures for the defense of the town against an expected attack. All the women and children have been ordered to leave the frontier of Natal"
 The Daily Mails correspondent at Lourenzo Marquez reports that H. M. S. Philomel has gone to Durban for the purpose of landing 100 men and a gun. The Daily Mail says 1t considers that the action reported indicates grave danger and it thinks it probable that other British warships are converging silently upon the theater of action.
 A special despatch from Pretoria says the Transvaal government has seized gold to the value of GS00, ,O0O which is now lodged in the state mint The government, the despatch adds will indemnify the banks to which the gold is consigned. Other telegrams rep resent that a Boer attack upon Natal is expected at any moment, but assert that Commandant General Joubert to shoot any man who moves without orders, The London papers are inclined to regard the seizure of gold by the Transvaal government as an act of war. No ab- solute confirmation is obtainable of the report that Boer ultimatum has been presented but the news comes from usually; good Boer sources.

THE yENEzUELAN AWARD.
Statement of Chief Justice Brewer De-
 Alterations Not All smooth.

Paris. Oct. A representative of the Associated Press this evening had
 a conversation with Justice Brewer of the United States court regarding the award of the Anglo-V arbi- tration tribunal from which it appears that the deliberations of the court did
 not proceed as smoothly and with the
 spontaneous unanimity which a perusal
 of the award would lead one to believe.
 Justice Brewer, in reply to a question,
 said:
 Until the last moment believed a
 decision would be quite impossible and it was by the greatest conciliation and
 was arrived at If any of us had been asked to give an award, each would have given one differing in extent and character. The consequence of this was that we had to adjust our differ ent views and finally to draw a line running between what each thought right Being asked whether political consideration influenced the award, the justice said he could not admit that, as such an assertion would reflect on the judges. but there was no doubt that the present insurrection in Venezuela and the consequent feeling of instability weighed to a certain extent in the bal ance
 In reply to an inquiry as to what reasons separated the judges, Justice Brewer replied; Nearly every point. In the first place, European lawyers do not look upon the question of prior rights resulting from rights of discov- cry in the same way we do Then, the question of the nature of control and the extent of influence and relationship with the native races and many such matters are not viewed in the same manner on either side of the Atlantic. In fact, the whole situation is not so keenly appreciated by Europeans as it is by Americans"
 Replying to query regarding the de. Alterations within the court MT. Brew CT said there was, properly speaking, no casting of votes. Each judge con- ceded something in turn. With regard to the proceedings in open court, he said the hearing of arguments might have been considerably curtailed had the an English or an American court, but the judges thought it prudent to allow counsel full liberty in order to make matters clearer to the president who, after all, was not lawyer
