CLEMENTS CAMPAIGN
For Local Option and High License
Opened in Vermont.

Manchester, Vt, July 31.-Perciyal W.
Clement Of Rutland, gubernatorial candi-
date of the local option high license wing
of the Republican party, opened its cam
paign in the Opera house with an audi
ence of exceptional size and apparently
unbounded enthusiasm. Men came here
from all the nearby towns to hear Mr..
Clement.
The candidate in opening accused the
opponents of high license of bribery IN
caucuses when they saw that the election
OF delegates to the nomination convention
was against them. He claimed that this
feature changed the issue of the cam
paign from that of prohibition against
high license to the issue of an honest
election against the purchase of votes
He said he stood on his own platform as
protest against the nomination of an
other by means he believed to be fraud
ulent.
In regard to the support which he be-
lieved the local option party was recciv-
ing from Democrats throughout the state,
Mr.. Clement said that he wanted the vote
Of every man in the state who could sup

cal methods.

REDUCING THE CLERKS.
Sec. Moody Going Through Navy De-
partment With Sharp Knife.

Washington. July 31.-Sec. Moody $
ideas of retrenchment and reform IN
the administration of the navy depart
nent proper are being put into execu-
ton with a rapidity that has set the
whole clerical force of the department
by the ears.
Mr. Moody recently sent out a cir
cular to all the principal officers of the
department instructing them to organ
ize their offices so that efficient clerks
would get the higher salaries. In this
circular lie called attention to an act
Of Congress concerning the classified
ton Of clerks under the executive gov
eminent which said in effect that moth
ing in the act could be construed to
permit the maintenance of q civil PEN
sion list.
This language has been interpreted
to mean that aged clerks shall give
way to those having youth and activ-
ity, and in consequence there have been
several reductions in the salaries of
veteran employees.
The clerical force of the Bureau of
Navigation is being completely reor-
gauized, and when the reorganization
has been effected the other bureaus
will have to go through the same ex-
Derlence in turn. Vacancies existing
in the clerical force of the Navigation
Bureau will not be filled and Mr..
Moody hopes to make a still further
reduction of 10 per cent. From what
is said at the navy department it is ev-
identity the secretary's idea that he can
run the naval establishment very much
cheaper than any of his predecessors.

Sugar Planters.

London, July 31.-Amid tremendous
enthusiasm Lord Kitchener was, to-
night, presented with a sword Of honor,
the gift of Cape Town. Sir Joseph e
Dimsdale. lord mayor of London, made
the presentation in the course of a
South African dinner which was at
tended by many notable persons. When
the enthusiasm had sufficiently sub
sided for Lord Kitchener to make him
self heard. he modestly returned thanks
for the gift and expressed the confident
hope that in South Africa, at any rate,
the sword would not again be drawn
from It's scabbard.
Lord Kitchener euIogized Lord Mil
ner. British high commissioner in South
Africa. and made an appeal based
upon his intimate and personal friend
ship with and knowledge of the South
African administrator that he be given
the confidence and sympathy Of the
British nation.
Referring to the mineral and agri-
cultural wealth of the new territory,
Lord Kitchener said:
You may assure yourselves that you
have nothing less than the markings Of
n new America in the Southern hcnli-
sphere
He said the question who would sup
ply the energy, brains and money re-
quired to carry out this great develop
ment was one more for his hearers
than for himself, but when, rs in
South Africa, patriotism was Joined to
scif-interest. he was not afraid they
would fail to SOW the seed and reap
the harvest for which he hoped those
who had recently been ia South Africa
had prepared.

Ee Sent at Once.

London, July 31.-In an explanatory
today, Of the grant of csc, 900 for the
relief of sugar planters in the British
West Indies. Colonial Secretary Cham
bcrlain said he took a hopeful view Of
the future of the islands. When he took
Office. grave apprehension existed that
the islands would be thrown on the
hands of the government, and it was
that state of affairs that led to the ap-
pointment in 1896 of a royal commits
sion to investigate the West Indian
sugar industry As a result Of the
Brussels conventions abolition of the
sugar bOuntics. which were running the
West Indies. the situation had much
improved and was now much brighter
especially as direct line of fruit
steamers was developing an important
trade. II was promised also that cnor-
nous coal deposits which had been
found in Trinidad would materially
help the islands, and British Guiana.
which had been largely dependent en-
sugar. was now developing diamond
and gold fields which promised TO have
considerable commercial value. How
ever, the period till the promised aboli-
tion of bountics in 1903 must be bridgad
over and E250.0C0 was the smallest
sum that would suffice The govern
mcnt would see that the relief fund
was so distributed that the needfest
should get the largest share.

BAN OF THE COURTS

oats. On the application of Waite, Thorn

short in the July option, n temporary re-

prohibiting james \. Patten and assoc
cfatGS from continuing a corner in new
July oats ana from bidding up the price
of the cereal or calling for further mar
gins.
This is the first time in the history OF
the Chicago Board OF Trade that dealers
who are short have resorted to the courts
to assist them in dilemma like the
present. and the injunction came as de-
cided surprise, although drastic measures
had been threatened to prevent heavy
losses. The injunction runs against Car
rington, Patten & Co, Pattyn Bros. and
Bartlett Frazier e Co.
Default of 100000 bushels OF short new
July oats. lawsuits and action by the
Board Of Trade are seemingly the inev.tl-
bic results of the granting of the re-
straining order. Cornered and unable to
secure new July oats wherewith to meet
theft contracts, the dealers who are
short appear to have practically thrown
up their hands
