Tower at St. Petersburg and storer at Madrid Mentioned I'm Connec- tion With Appointment
 of Successor.

BERLIN, Aug. 6. Ambassador White mailed his resignation to the United States several days ago, and it may now be in the hands of President Roosevelt. The date set by the embas- sador for his resignation to go into eff feet was Nov. 2. He is now at Hom- burg, where he is taking the waters and where he probably will remain till the end of the month.
 There is much gossip at Berlin con- corning MT. Whites probable success sor, and one circumstantial story is that the president intends to transfer Ambassador Tower from St. Peters burg to Berlin, Minister Storer from Spain to be ambassador to Russia and to appoint Henry White, secretary of embassy at London, minister to Spain. MT. Tower, who has been dissatisfied with St. Petersburg, expressed months ago a wish to be transferred to some other equally desirable post, prefer ably Berlin.
 Andrew D. White was appointed em- bassador to Germany April 1, 1897. In March last it was announced that he contemplated resigning because of ill health

Mrs. SpreckeIs. Baggage From Paris
 Causes a Sensntion.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The arrival of Mrs. 0. A. Spreckels of San Francisco was an interesting feature of the end of the trip of the Kaiser Wilhelm der : Crosse. e
 For more than an hour steamship company employees 1abored to get her baggage out of the hold and off the ship. N
 She had forty-seven trunks and thir- ty pieces of hand baggage. Nearly all of the trunks were new, and all were marked "C. A. S., Paris"
 Four of Mrs. Sprecke1s' maids re mained on the pier to unpack the trunks for the custom house men.
 Women crowded ten deep around the maids, and as trunk after trunk was opened a chorus of feminine exclama tions went up.
 No free show of beautiful gowns has ever been given in this city to com pare with the display of the gowns of Mrs. Spreckels. Each was a mag pificeIlt creation

President of Venezuela May Set Up
 Government In the West.
 WILLENfSTAD, Curacao, Aug. G. -Four million cartridges and 10000 Mauser rifles were received by Presi- dent Castro last Saturday. Half of these arms and ammunition were de- posted in Caracas, and the other half was sent to Maracaibo on schooner.
 This distribution of munitions of wRr is taken to be proof that if Castro's forces are beaten in the expected en- gagement with the reyolutionists and if the president can escape he intends to prolong resistance and purposes to transport the headquarters of the gov ernment to San Cristobal in the ex- treme western part of Venezuela, where he was born. This apparent de- cision on. the part of President Castro has created a feeling of depression in commercial and financial circles.
 The British cruiser Pallas has an- chored in the La Guayra roadstead
 News has reached here from Vene- Euela that Barcelona, in the state of Bermudez, is at present being sur rounded by reyolutionists estimated to number 800 men, under the command of General Platero They demand the surrender of Barcelona. The govern ment soldiers in the town number only 200 men, and it is not believed that they will offer resistance.

 NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The fast Ital- ian steamer Sardegna, from Genoa and Naples, arrived in port during yester- day with a small two masted schooner in tow. Captain Montana of the Sar- dogma said that he fell in with the schooner drifting about helplessly, with her decks crowded with people,
 Running down near the disabled craft, she was found to be the Ameri- can schooner Notice of Providence, R. l., from Braya, Cape Verde islands, for home with sixty-four persons on board. The mate of thesNotice said that Cap tain Antonio Ramos had been lost overheard and was thought to have committed suicide
 The vessel was disabled and short of provisions. He asked for assistance. The steamer sent boatload of pro- visions and took the schooner in tow and brought her to port.
 Of the sixty-four passengers on board eleven were women. The people on board the Notice are all natives of the Cape Verde islands. They come here to join friends and find employment as laborers and fishermen.

APPENDICITIS AN OLD DISEASE

ssWhy is it" asked the man of the physician, ''that so many people are suffering these days with appendicitis, and have. to be operated upon, when there didn't use to be any of them?'
 My young friend" the doctor an swered, this disease has been in the world ever since Adam was-perhaps that story of losing a rib may have arisen because he was operated on for appendicitis. When your grandfather was boy his neighbors had it all around him, and so they did when you were a boy. But they called it infiam- nation of the bowels, stomach ache, acute Indigestion, liver trouble or something of that sort. The patient got well or he died, but no one ever opened him when living to see what the matter was. Perhaps it is as we'll that they did not for much of the surgery of those days was more dan- gerous than any disease, .,'-C Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Not Unexpected.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-No infor- nation has been received at the state department indicating that Embassa- dor White had resigned, but the an- nouncement was not unexpected, as a report was current some time ago that he would retire from public life upon reaching his seventieth birthday. Sew eral gentlemen in the diplomatic serv- ice have been mentioned in connection with the Berlin embassy should Em- bassador White retire, the most prom inent being Dr. David Jayne Hill, now first assistant secretary of state, and Hon. Bellamy Storer, at present minis ter to Spain.

honorable body for an opinion as to the Jurisdiction of the board of com. missioners of public safety upon the matters contained in ,ne communica- ton from Charles s. Chapman. dated July 10, 1902, concerning police ana fire service in the annexed portion of the city of Waterbury and formerly. a part of the Center school district, I would respectfully advise you,
 That under the provisions of the consolidation acts of 1899 and 1901 the residents in this portion of the city of Waterbury are undoubtedly entitled to both fire and police protection. They pay full school tax and in addition a tax equivalent to one-half of that i'm posed upon the residents of the old limits Of the city for all other spur- poses. Under these acts they are taxed to assist in raising the amounts ap- propr1ated for both of these purposes. It necessarily follows that if they are taxed and obliged to pay for the sup port of he police and fire departments they ought to be entitled to service from such departments. The amount of such service must be determined by your board in the case of this portion Of the city, equally as it is determined by your board for the several portions of the city within the old city limits.
 Respectfully,
 ssJONH KELLOGG, E City Attorney"
 Commissioner Hardie thought that it would be good idea to remove the old hook and ladder truck from Pro- tector Hose house. He was told that it could be put no place else as there was no available place. He thought that it would be a good idea to take it apart and place it in the cellar be- cause it was occupying valuable space and if it were removed the boys could play ping pong. Chief Snagg said that the truck could be used at any time and that settled the matter. The Brooklyn boys will have to find some other place to play ping pong
 Chief Snagg, Commissioners Lahey and Tay1or were appointed a commit ] tee to purchase a pair of horses for the Burton street engine house.
 After the meeting of the board ad- journed the members were immediate lY sworn in by City Clerk Ryan as members of the board of trustees for the police pension fund The board then organized. Commissioner La hey was appointed secretary and Com Reeves chairman. There is $10, ,755 in the fund now. Five per cent of the money paid for liquor i censes each year is paid into the fund. The fund was created in October, 1899, by the board of aldermen, who took of a state statute. Nothing has been done in the matter by the board of safety since that time and the money has been drawing no inter est. Commissioners Lahey and Tay- Tor were appointed a committee to de- eide upon the best manner of investing the money.
