Remonstrants Questioned by Anthony Carroll Last Night.
 The aldermanic committee on licenses held another hearing last night on the petition of Lederer & Go. for a license for the rendering establishment on Derby avenue, near Yale field. More remonstrants were heard last night, among them being ex-Alderman Chil- lingworth, Attorney B. J. Lynch and Attorney c. $. Hamilton. Anthony Car roll, who has taken great interest in this matter, was present and closely questioned the remonstrants who ap- peared, endeavoring to show by his questioning that the odor which the residents of the western part of the city complain of, and on which they base their objection to the licensing of the factory, comes from the Boulevard sewer and not from ederer & Co.'S fac tory as alleged.

THE FIRE COMMISSIONERS

Received a Letter From the Mayor Con- corning Auxiliary Fire Alarm Boxes. At the meeting of the board of fire commissioners last night a letter was received from Mayor Studley in regard to the auxiliary fire alarm boxes placed in busine placss by private company and which the fire commissioners have instructed the superintendent of fire alarm telegraph to keep in order. This has aroused some public criticism that city employe should be obliged to keep up a private business.
 Mayor Studley in his letter last night stated that the auxiliary boxes were placed in the places of business of large taxpayers and he thought that the fire commissioners should take this fact into consideration. The tenor of the letter was to the effect that the city should have a man look afer the auxil- iafy boxes. He stated that in some cities where auxiliary alarms are placed the companies owning them pay DOT tion of their receipts to the city,
 The fire commissioners will consider the matter at a subsequent meeting.

 Another interesting Incident has aris- en in the placing on the retired list of Major Carriere, (who was prosecutor at the Rennes court martiaD. In an in- terview with the major, just published, he was asked whether he desired the post of magistrate and he replied:
 What could I get from the minister of justice? Those people hate me. have been on the list for appointment as officer of the Legion of Honor for the past two years, but others have been passed over my head"
 The interviewer asked Major Carriere if he committed a mistake in urging the condemnation of Dreyfus.
 Yes" replied the major; "that is the reason" Continuing his questions, the interviewer remarked
 ''It is said that you had orders to sum up in favor of his innocence. But a minister denies this.'
 Major Carriere replied:
 "Yes, 1t was Gallifet who had the eff frontery to deny it. But I shall soon be free and then, perhaps, I can tlak.
 General De Gallifet, who was minis ter of war at the time of the Rennes court marial, now writes to the papers denying Major Carriere's accusation. The majors reply is now awaited.

 The total revenues of the government from all sources (by warrants) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1901, amount ed to $699 316, 53O.92
 The expenditures for the same per iod amounted to S621 59S, ,54654, showing surplus of S77,717,9s4.3S.
 Tn addition to the revenues collected during the year and the amounts re- ceived on the indebtedness of Pacific railroads the cash in the treasury was increased 1850, by the issue of 4 per cent bonds in liquidation of interest accrued on refunding certificates con- verted during the year. The securities redeemed on account of the sinking fund amounted to $56, 4S4,690.
 The revenues of the government for the current fiscal year are thus estl- mated upon the basis of existing laws:
 From customs, S25O,000, ,0OO; from in
  cellaneous sources, $40G0o, ,000: from postal service, $116, 6,63S, 042 Total esti- mated revenues, S6SS 633, ,042
 The expenditures for the same period are estimated as follows:

 In favoring reduction of the war revenue taxes Secretary Gage says:
 Congress must be the final judge as to what particular objects of taxation and in what degree reduction in rates shall apply. In my opinion, it would be within conservative limits to reduce revenue to the extent of $5O,000,000. As a first step in that direction, l recon-

The board of burgesses held meet ing Tuesday evening to complete organ ization and make the usual appoint ments. As was predicted, the political axe, we'll sharpened, fell and every of- flee holder with the faintest tinge of republican blood in his veins was caught beneath it, and had his head cut off. There were few who be- lieved, or professed to, that the work would not be quite so completely done, but they know better now. There was a mild attempt to save something from the wreck on the claim of faithful ser vice, etc., but it was dismal failure, as Burgess Griffin remarked that the appointed officers were not serving un- der civil service rules. The borough at torney appointed was O. H. D. Fowler; night patrolmen, Daniel O'Reilly, Will liam s. Fogarty; chief engineer, John F. Downey; first assistant, Charles M Cannon; second assistant J. B.
