 Hans Rasmussen and J. l.. Upson, a committee representing the Town Plot Improvement Go, were in the city clerk $ office to-day and had a petition made out to be presented to the board of public works asking that some of the streets in that district be put back to their original use. Mir Rasmussen said that they were ploughed last spring and that he supposed they would yield something which would be of use to the public as well as to the neighbors. but in this he was very much disappointed the crop consisting of sharp stones and deep holes that cause no end of trouble to everybody, particularly milkmen. who suffer heavy losses on account of the jolts, some of them not having half enough left to supply their customers after they get through Town Plot He said he broke several springs. in wagons while on his way home and that he intends to leave 1t to a committee whether he or the city should pay the damage.

RUN TO VINEYARD HAVEN.
The New York Yacht Club Fleet Was
 Started Of Early.

Newport, R. T., Aug q Commodore -Ledyard started the New York Yacht club fleet off bright and early this morning for the second run of the 1902 cruise to Vineyard Haven.
 Signals were hoisted on the flagship at7:30 and an hour later all the yachts were under weigh It was a magnif1- cent morning. The skv was absolute Iy clear, while out of the northwest a snappy 1D-knot breeze was blowing that sent the yachts down the harbor to the start at Brenton's Reef lightship at a lively pace.
 The anxiety of the commodore 10 get the fleet off early was because of the fickleness of the northwest winds in summer and also his desire to have the fleet get well up Vineyard sound before the turning of the tide at 2' o'clock It was expected therefore that the fleet would be able to reach Vine yard Haven early in the afternoon with such favorable breeze The orders for the run gave the start at Brenton's Reef lightshiD and tue fin- ish off West Chop, distance of 37 miles, the yachts leaving Vineyard sound lightship on the port and the shoal spot in Vineyard sound on the starboard.
 At o'clock nearly Nall tho sailing yachts had left the harbor and many of the steam yachts were preparing tos get under weigh.
 The committee tug reached the light ship at 9:20, and d few minutes later the preparatory signal was fired.
 As in former runs, the small sloops were sent away first followed by the larger ones, then the schooners, and lastly the auxiliary boats
 By 10 o'clock the fleet was well on itss way to the Vineyard.

GOOD YACHTING WEATHER.

AuG SGS WdAutthd Sup IS VAtlL sAS
 Yachts are Trying for To-day.
 Dorval, Que, Aug 7.-Better racing weather than that which existed during the early morning out on Lake St Louis to-day could not have been asked for by the yachtsmen who will contest for the possession of the Seawanhaka cup The morning broke bright and clear, but later clouded up sufficiently to ob. scure the hot rays of the sun. The wind was blowing across the lake out of the northwest, foretelling a. three days blow and at the rate of about if teen miles an hour. To say that the yachtsmen were pleased would be put ting 1t mildly; they were overJoyed, and both shippers expressed them selves as confident. The local people seemed to be more so, however, and had been looking for and could not get during the trial races Both yachts, the Tecumseh the American chal- lenger, and the Trident. the Canadian defender, were up on the ways early in the day having the finishing touches, put on them prior to being measured. The Trident was slipped into the water at 9:15 and the judges began measur- ing her.
 The course of to-day's races will be to windward or leeward and return, two miles to a leg if possible. to be sailed over three times; if not the sbuoys will be placed one mile apart, and in that event the boats will have to sail around six times. All depends on the direction of the wind. The course was decided on last night when the skip per of the Trident won the toss. The crews of the two boats follow: Tri- dent-C. H. Routh. F. Sherwood, F. AIcNaughton and Angus Macdonald of the Royal St Lawrence Yacht club: Te- ones, Gates. Gates and Sher wood of the Bridgeport Yacht club.l

Major Miller Says of the Strikers
 That They Fear Neither God Nor
 Man-He Says itgfs the Most God
 Forsaken Country He Ever Saw
 Shenandoah, He Says, is a veritable
 Hell Hole.
 Shenandoah, Pa. Aug 7.--Stone throwing at the troops was repeated early to-day, the attack this time be- ing made on the provost guard near one of the foreign colonies. The of lenders escaped. Otherwise every thing is quiet in this region today.
 Shenandoah, Pa, Aug 7.-Major w. 5. Miller, inspector general of the third brigade, gives clear explanation of the strike situation.
 A more God forsaken country I have never seen,'' said he. Eighty five per cent of the population are foreign CTS, and eight to ten thousand are an- archists.
 The Lithuanians fear neither man nor God. They have no regard for law or order or anything. They run evey- thing their own way, and the priests say nobody has control over them. The disturbing clements are at all times ready for trouble and court it. The English speaking miners are all right and have done a good deal to help the troops.
 Mitchell nor any other individual can control the anarchists. Nothing short of shot and shell can keep them subdued. They lie in the laurel bushes to stone the troops.
 At first the soldiers were istructed to load with blank cartridges, but they have been supplied with belts now and are under instructions to shoot to kill. General Goblin is deter mined that quiet shall prevail, and the attacking of our soldiers with stones will not be tolerated for a mo- menf
 '.As far as as the strike is concerned we have nothing absolutely nothing
 ito do wiSl it. Whether mines are operated with union or non-union men does not concern us in the least. We are not here to run the miDes, but to see that flaw and order are maintain ed, and that we shall do, come what may. If the foreigners attack us sthere will be trouble. We are going to ten der them lesson in the maintenance of order and as self protection is the first law we do not propose to stand any more monkeying. We mean bust ness. ss
 Shenandoah is . Veritable hell hole. Ninety thousand barrels of beer are sold annually to the miners They dump barrel in an old washtub whether it is clean or not makes not the slightest difference and they pour in a couple of quarts of vile whislxey. The mixture Is stirred up with a broom handle andisis then ready to drink.

THINK CUBA DRIFTING AWAY
OmcIaIs See DAnEeT I'm Delay over the
signing of the Reciprocity
Treaty

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-The situation as
to Cuba is giving oficials here great con-
Germ. 1t is feared that Cuba Is drifting
away and evidence is multiplying day by
day to mark the growth Of a spirit OF In
difference toward the United States that
almost borders on hostility.
The treaty which, by the terms of the
Plat amendment, might be entered into
between the two governments, is now
awaiting the approval OF the Cuban gov
eminent. which approval is withheld, not
with any expressed intention Of rejecting
the convention, but through what is re-
garded here as the natural inertia on the
Cubans In diplomatic matters.
