100 Infantry and $50 Cavalry to Leave
Ne w York This Morning for the Scene
of tho oTr0uble-Strikers Declare They
VIII Fight If Any Strangers Arc Put
to Work.

New York, April 15.-General Charles
A. Roe announced tonight that he had
received a formal written demand from
Sheriff Molloy of Westchester county
this morning to call out 500 troops to
go Immediately to the scene Of the Ital-
ian laborers strike at the Croton dam.
He said Sheriff Molloy same down from
Westchester and gave him the demand
in person. General Roe has decided to
order out the Fourth Separate company
of Yonkers, the Eleventh Separate COM
pany Of Mount Vernon, Squadron A Of
New York, and Troop C of Brooklyn.
General Roe gave as his reason for
ordering so many cavalry and SO few
infantry that there are over six miles of
territory to cover and that 1t Is neces-
sary to have troops which could move
quickly and be scattered. He said also
that the topography of the country Is
exceedingly hilly General Roe does
not expect to have to call out any New
York infantry, and thinks that the 500
men will be sufficient to quell the
strike.
The troops will number 15O infantry
and $50 cavalry Squadron A will fur
nish 200 men and Troop C will have 150
General Roe will take command of the
troops He will accompany the two
cavalry detachments from here.
Later-General Roe ordered out the
troops tonight after his conference
with Sheriff Molloy, and they will leave
their respective armories tomorrow

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.


Washington, April 15.-Secretary
Longs implied willingness to accept
the republican nomination for the vice
presidency, as inferred from the state
ments made by him on that subject
yesterday was a matter Of general
comment in Washington to-day. 1t set
the republican slate makers to think
ing and for the time being has seriously
upset the calculations Of those who be-
lieved that the honor would go to one
of a half dozen others mentioned for
the vice presidency. Secretary Long
was called on by a number of persons
during the day and was importuned for
an exact statement of his attitude on
the question. He seemed dsnclined to
enter into any general discussion of the
matter, however, preferring to let it
rest with what he has already said on
the subject, believing that the vice
is an honor of such char
acter that no man could well refuse to
accept it. The secretary, however, is
not an avowed candidate seeking the
place, but the belief is general that if
the nomination is offered to him he will
accept. Secretary Long was asked to-
night for an expression of opinion re-
garding Admiral Dewey's candidacy for
the presidency In good natured way
he evaded making a reply, but laugh
ingly remarked that Dewey was the
man of our navy"

RICHES DROYE HIM INSANE.
New York Bricklayer Who Inherited
100000 Kills Himself

New York, April 15.-When julius
Roster, bricklayer of West Fifty-sec~
ond street, recently inherited $500, 900
from Germany his good fortune COM
pleted the breaking down of his mind,
already weakened by illness. His life
less body was found swinging from a
rope in the empty water tank on the
roof Of his house to-day. Roster had
recently recovered from a long spell of
sickness. He caught one of his fingers
In a hook while fishing about year ago
and blood poisoning resulted. He was
still weak in mind and body when his
brother in Germany died, leaving him
a fortune. The sudden change from
poverty to riches left his mind perma-
nently affected. On Saturday his dis
appeared and to-day his body was
found hanging in the tank, his feet only
few inches from the bottom. In the
pockets of the suicide were two brief
notes in German relating to the dispo-
stion of his newly inherited fortune.

TELLER AND $4,000 MISSING.
Young waterbury, VI, Man sixips-
MAY ffavs Killed HtmscIE

y Burlington, VT, April 15.-A special
from Waterbury, VT, says that John
K. Farrer, teller of the Waterbury Ma
-tional bank is missing and that there
is defalcation of $4,000 of the banks
funds. The community is greatly shock
ed by the news as Farrer was consid-
cred model young man. The short
age of funds in the bank was discovered
by Cashier Charles Wells Friday after
noon. He called Farrer's attention to
the fact, who replied that there must
be some mistake in the books. They
began an examination at o'clock when
Farrer suggested they go to supper and
return in the evening for further exam
ination. He has not been seen or heard
of since. One train going south is due
to leave the station at 610 and one
north and west at $3.50, but nothing has
developed to show that he took either.
The only other explanation is suicide.
He was treasurer of the village and
had charge of three or four thousand
dollars in that capacity, but it is not
known yet whether any of these funds
are missing, The young man had been
speculating in stocks and it is generally
believed that he used the money in that
way. He was quite heavy loser in the
recent failure of the stock brokerage
firm. of Knott & Clausen of Burlington.
His parents and wife are heart broken
over the calamity which has befallen
them.
Farrer was born here twenty-four
years ago and has spent his whole life
among his fellow townspeople, becom-
ing an almost universal favorite. Ho
has been employed in the bank six or
seven years, the officials trusting him
implicitly. Ills friends are 10th to be-
lieve that he actually stole the money
but are rather Of the opinion that he
borrowed 1t for a short time to make
good his stock market accounts. It Is
expected that complete statement Of
the condition Of the bank will be issued
In few days.

STRIKERS Much Excited.

Croton Landing, N. Y, April 15.-A
report reached here at 10 o'clock to-
night that the conference in New York
was failure so far as bringing about
the settlement of the strike and that
troops had been ordered to come here
tomorrow. The news was quickly
passed to the strikers, who hastily
gathered on the Bowery to discuss the
situation. The strikers were much ex-
cited Angelo Rotella the leader, when
informed of the fact that the troops
had been ordered out was much per-
turbed and downcast. He said: "Only
some of our men are armed, but they
will all be armed in the morning. We
will resist every attempt by the con-
tractors to renew the work tomorrow
with strange men, and we will fight If
necessary until the troops get here.
They can keep the troops here for two
months, but we can afford, to wait six
months, and the contractors will be sor-
ry when the troops go away"

CHURCHILL ON THE WAR.
Question of Remounts Vuni-Great
Numbers Arriving,

London April 16.-Winston Churchill
telegraphs to the Morning Post from
Bloemfontein, under Saturday date, re-
iterating his opinion that the war is
bound to prove an extremely expensive
business. He says 1.-TWO hundred and
fifty thousand men will be needed be-
fore the end is attained. The question
of remounts will continue one of vital
Importance. Great numbers are now
arriving, but owing to the fact that
they have to be put to work before
time is given them to recover from the
effects of the voyage their condition is
low and the death rate among them
high. Thousands, therefore, will be
wanted in addition to those now here
or on the way and great resting depots
must be formed, together with an ample
staff to nurse and exercise them. If
that is done then, iabout four or five
months hence you will be able to give
your cavalry a new lease of life and
strength

Il SKYLIGHT ELETATOR.
The Dodge WORKED in n Down Town
Blind Tiger.

Patrolmen Enright and Bright Of the
Grand avenue police precinct early yes
terday morning, shortly before
O'Clock, made a raid upon the liv-
ing apartments of Edward Ford, over
the latters' saloon at 25S East street,
corner of Greene street, and found that
liquor was being served there to a num-
Der of men. This was the third raid
made upon Ford's place and he has
been fined several times for violation Of
the liquor law The police have sus-
pected for some time that Ford was
selling liquor early Sunday mornings to
men who work near by all night and
stop at Ford's on their way home from
work in the morning.
Yesterday morning Enright and
Bright secreted themselves in freight
car on the tracks across from Fords
and kept watch on the place. They
waited until they had seen thirteen
men, all carrying dinner baskets, enter
the place by the front door leading to
the living apartments. The two Off
GERS then entered the house and on the
way up the stairs say the thirteen din
ner baskets on the steps. The word
had evidently been given that the police
were coming, as the door leading into
the kitchen was locked on the inside,
and the police broke it open.
In the kitchen there is skylight, and
it seems that the proprietor has arrang-
ed to have some one on the roof with
a rope to let down through the skylight
and draw the liquors up to the roof out
of sight in case of police visits. Yes
terday the alarm had been given to
woman who was on the roof, and when
the policemen entered the room the
rope was dangling down through the
skylight, and the woman was calling
down for Ford to hurry up and tie on
the liquor bottles. Bright secured the
rope, grabbed hold of it, and pulled,
nearly pulling the woman down through
the skylight.
Looking about the room the police
men saw a pitcher of whiskey and one
of beer. The started to get them, but
Ford, who is big six-footer Weighing
about 800 pounds, was ahead of them,
and grabbed the two pitchers. A
scuff1e for the possession Of the two
vessels and their contents ensued, in
the course of which the whiskey and
beer We're spilled over the policemen's
uniforms The case will be reported to
the prosecuting attorney to-day.

GUARDING BAsU1oLAND.


5000 Natives Near W-pener-Not TO
Cross the Border.
Maseru, Basutoland, Saturday, April
1-Sid Godfrey Lagden, British resident
commissioner, returned here yesterday
(Friday) from the scene Of operations
near Wepener. He and the paramount
chief have stationed 5000 armed natives
to resist possible Boer encroachments.
The orders of the resident commissioner
are that the Basutos are not to be al
lowed to cross the Free State frontier
on any pretence whatever. Two ma
tves, who crossed and looted an aban-
doned Boer farm, are now in custody.
Colonel Dalgety's position is strong
and well chosen; but he is complete
ly surrounded. The Beers have their
backs against Basutoland and If they
stay much longer they will be hemmed
in. The British operations are keenly
watched from the neighboring heights.
Shelling and sniping have been going on
steadily during the last six days.
Colonel Dalgety's guns are admirably
served and there is no waste of am
munition. The Beers, when they see
the electric flash of the cordite, bolt
into their holes or behind walls.
So near are the Beers and the Ba-
suto guards that they converse. The
ambulances are close to the border, but
the killed and wounded are not re-
moved until nightfall in order to con-
ceal the number of casualties. The
Beers are fatigued and their horses are
tired and footsore.
The Beers attacked fiercely the Brit
fsh northern position on Monday, April
8, but they were beaten back at day
break. Nothing is known here of the
casualties on either side.

Parisians, Aware of the Great Back

Awny-People Promenade In Front OF
Empty md Unfinished Buildings


Paris, April 15-Glorious weather fa-
mense crowds hocked into the grounds.
The area of the exhibition, however, is
so great that nowhere was there any
crush. The visitors were mainly COM
posed of provincials and foreigners.
Comparatively few Parisians were to be
seen. Aware of the great backwardiess
of the preparations, they remained
away for the most part
The management demanded two en-
trance tickets for morning admission,
one for afternoon admission and TWO
during the evening, when the Eiffel
tower and the palaces on the Champ de
Mars were illuminated. But there were
absolutely no attractions provided, not
even band of music, and the people
promenaded in front of the empty and
in many cases unfinished buildings and
along roads where only in the case of
the main avenues had the work of paw
ing been completed.
Visitors who left the central arteries
found their pathway filled with pitfalls
and heaped with debris. The crowd,
however, was perfectly good-naturad
and took the matter philosophically.
Hardly murmur was heard anywhere
in the way of criticism. The moving
sidewalk, access to which cost SO CEN
times, proved a great success and was
crammed throughout the day. The
American national pavilion remained
closed. So also did most of the other
pavilions for the excellent reason that
their interiors are still unfinished.

LONDON VIEW OF SITUATION.
The Report of Brabant's Victory Con-
Ridered Premature.

London, April 16, 4;55 p. m.-The war
office had nothing to communicate to
the public yesterday 1t may be taken
for granted that the rumor of General
Brabants victory at Wepener is prema-
ture. With the remainder of his force
he left Aliwal North saturday Tor RouX-
vile; and there has scarcely been time
for an engagement.
There is practically no fresh news
this morning. All the Bloemfontein
dispatches however, breathe conf
dent tone. There seems to be heavy
demand on the railway; for so large an
army leaves the populace bare of ev-
erything save the absolute necessities
of life
The fact that the censors allowed
Winston Churchill's despatch on the
