Iy dead. He then jumped on the bloody
carcass, furiously stamping on it till
it was a shapeless mass.
Meanwhile the COWS were having a
hard time with No ?. But they man
aged things differently and had affairs
more their own way. They ran toward
the gator and, Watching their chance,
jumped on him. This was done re-
peatedly and the gator did not get
chance hardly to strike back. One COW
ventured too close and the gators
long tail came around with a thud and
struck her fairly on the side, sending
her a dozen feet. The others, enraged
by this, followed their charges by try
ing to gore the gator. He kept out
of their way by striking at them and
trying to seize their noses in his jaws.
One COW was caught by this means and
half thrown. As she stood there trem-
bling and moaning with pain, the bull,
who had just finished his victim, heard
her. He came up with a roar and
with the utmost fury pitched at the
gator. The willy saurian heard him
coming and had turned half around
when the bull caught him on his horns,
half lifting him from the ground. The
gator clawed and bit at its antagonist
and the fight for several minutes was
a warm and bloody one. Finally the
bull triumphed and got the gator m-
der his feet, when ne trampled him to
death.
No. was all this time trying to get
the calf into deep water, but the little
fellow was fighting as well as he
could and bleating loudly. The gator
had gotten him into two feet of water
when Mr.. Carew appeared on the
scene. He drew his gun and killed No.

Gators seldom venture into herd,
says the New York Sun, but will take
young cattle and calves from the wa
ter's side. These gators must have
been very hungry, Mr.. Carew thinks,
to venture a fight as they did with the
grown cattle.

THE BROOKLYN TUNNEL ASSURED.

THE BROOKLYN TUNNEL ASSURED.
On the advice of counsel that it might he
Illegal and would be unjust TO accept Did f"r
the Brooklyn tunnel which included the con-
struction of an underground road from Forty
second-st TO Union Square, because such an
offer had not been invited the Rapid Transit
Commission yesterday accepted the Belmont
Mcdonald cOmpany's other proposal TO Dulld
the Brooklyn extension for S2,000,0OO. whether
the alternative bid would otherwise have beeh
accepted and put aside with regret does
not appear from the proceedings. but 1t is prop
ably fair TO assume that the commission re-
CARDS that proposition favOrably, and VIII De
pleased to have it renewed in proper form at an
early day Sooner or later we have no doubt
line north from Union Square. connecting
with the crosstown tunnel which the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad will surely be authorized to
build will be added to the original system, and
we hope there will not be much delay about II.
AS for the extension from the City Hall under
the East River, which is of paramount lmpor-
tance there is every reason TO be glad that the
franchise has been awarded to the company
whose interests insure the operation or the
road as an integral part of a comprehensive Sys-
TEN. Financially the terms offered by the sue
cessful bidder are advantageous TO the city, De
cause they do not greatly diminish its capacity
TO issue bonds for other needed improvements,
but the higher practical utility of the arrange
ment made yesterday is its chief merit we
say this without the slightest disrespect for
those citizens of Brooklyn who have felt that
they possessed superior claims to consideration
which would be disregarded If the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company's facilities were not
put 10 account The Tribune has not been
ayerse 10 the scheme for a second tunnel under
+hn ions OF
neer has been instructed 10 plan, and we are
rather surprised to hear that the transportation
managers who have been so desirous Of getting
entrance 10 this borough will probably take no
interest in that subsidiary enterprise in case it
reaches the stage of negotiation.
New-York tribune., 1902-07-25
RUSSIA. TRUSTS AND BOUNTIES.

1t is characteristic of Russia that her sugges-
ton OF an international-that is, European
antitrust conference should be coupled with
a protest against the chasing OF herself among
those countries which pay export bounties on
sugar, and against the imposition of counter
vailing tariffs upon her sugar by other coun-
tries. 1t is an old matter. In at least inter-
national sugar conference Russia took the same
ground, declaring in effect that she was not
paying export bounties, but that whether she
did or not was exclusively her own business,
which she did not propose to submit to other
nations for them to regulate. When the United
States imposed a countervailng duty upon Rus
sian sugar because Of the Russian export
bounty Just as it did upon the sugar of other
bounty paying countries. Russia protested and
ordered retaliatory duties upon some American
goods. Now she indirectly renews her pro-
test against this country's action. and invites
the European powers to join in devising ways
and means to check the power of trade COM
binations, meaning, of course chiefly, IL not ex-
clusiveIy, American trade combinations.
The fundamental question is whether Russia
does does not pay export bounties on sugar.
The contention Of the United States is that she
does and in that most of the European cOun-
tries agree with the United States Let us see
what the Russian system really Is, as estab-
lished by the ukase OF 1895. Each year the
government estimates the amount of sugar that
will probably be wanted for home consumption
This quantity is apportioned among the various
factories Upon all of it an excise tax Of 1
ruble % copecks a pood is levied. A gold ruble
is worth 51.5 cents, and one and a half paper
rubles are worth one gold rube. There are 100
copecks in one ruble. A pood is about thirty-six
pounds. The excise tax is therefore 2.5 cents
a pound. Each factory is permitted to make
its allotted quantity of sugar at that rate Of tax
alton. Upon all sugar produced in excess of
that quantity an extra tax of % cents a pound
is levied. But If the latter sugar be exported
the tax upon it is refunded.
1t is perfectly obvious what the result of such
a system must be. Sugar manufacturers are
impelled TO increase their production for export
as much as possible because on their exported
sugar they can undersell other countries and yet
make a splendid profit 1t is not surprising,
then, TO find that sugar production in Russia
has been rapidly increasing ever since this sys-
tenn was established. In the two years from
1898 to 1900 the exports of Russian sugar in
creased from 12,600,000 pools to 17900OO0
poods, an increase of ~ per cent. In name, OF
course, there is no export bounty. In fact, there
is. That is TO say, a large cash advantage is
offered TO the expectation of sugar over the
supplying of the domestic demand. Between
paying n bounty outright and simply remitting
q tax there may be a distinction, but there Is
no real difference.
New-York tribune., 1902-07-25
THE FRENCH SCHOOL RIOTS.

1t is well that the French Parliament is not
in session. If it were, while the Ministry would
doubtless be sustained i'll its present course
toward the Clerical schools, there would almost
certainly be scenes of disorder which would
cause shame to selfrespecting Frenchmen and
to friends of France Riots in the streets are
bad enough, but riots in the Chamber OF Depu-
ties are worse. There was one fortnight ago,
just before prorogatiOn. 1t was melted by the
announcement that the government had ordered
the doing of what has now been done concern
ing the schools. When the Prime Minister rose
TO speak he was literally hooted down, so that
he unable TO make n single word audible.
Then the whole Chamber resolved itself into
a raging mob, using physical violence, so that
the President was compelled to suspend the
sitting for an hour. If such a scene was en-
acted at the mere ordering of a certain meas
ure, what would not have been done at the an
nouncement of its execution?
Our Paris correspondence has made clear the
cause of the trouble The government has
undertaken to execute fully, to the letter, the
law concerning religious associations and is
not only expeling societies which have failed
to secure legal authorization but is also closing
the primary and other schools conducted by
them. This Is going great deal further than
the Waldeck-ROusseau Ministry went, or prob
ably meant to go. There are those, even among
the friends of the government, who think it is
going too far, especially since there is some
ground for dispute as to the Interpretation Of
the law and no judicial decision concerning it
has yet been made. The two most regrettable
features of the case, from this point of view,
that schools are being closed for lack Of
authorization when they have had no chance
to get authorization, or at least have not been
informed that they should do so, and that the
thousands Of children who have been attending
these schools will now for some time be with
out any school facilities whatever. There is
reason. however, 10 expect that NJ. Combes
will set those matters right by some sort OF
modus vivendi. Party passions high. and
at the outset there is clash, each side acting
in an extreme and irreconsiable way; but
presently no doubt both sides will recognize
the desirability Of coming to an amicabe under
standing and when they reach that frame OF
mind a satisfactory arrangement Will not be
hard to make

A NEGLECTED EXAMPLE.

A golf player in the Adirondacks, being in a
state of evaporation and disgust because of
bad stroke, violently projected into space the
club of which he had made so poor a use. His
only quarrel was with himself. but the insen-
sible object by means Of which he sgnified his
wrath smote a caddy In its flight and nearly or
quite put out one Of his eyes. simultaneously the
player was smtten with regret, and by way of
making such amends as lay within his power
took his victim to Montreal for treatment by
an oculist.
1t is scarcely possible to exaggerate the feel
ing, compounded of anger and humiliation,
which is experienced by person addicted to
golf when he misses an easy shot at critical
moment or otherwise illustrates the vicissitudes
OF the game. But, on the other hand, II is
wholly impossible to overstate the obligations
OF morality and etiquette by which he is bound
10 resist the temptations which assail him at
such time. Not long ago man who honors
New"fork by living here was playing golf in
New-Jersey. Unfamiliarity with the course,
the unexpected prowess Of foe whom he had
held in light esteem and furtiye signs OF mirth

NEW YORK CLUB MORTGAGE.
| UNION DIME SAVINGS BANK GIVES
S35O,OoO ON PROPERTY.

The New-York Club yesterday mortgaged its
property at the southwest corner OF Thirty
hfth-st. and Fifth-ave to the Union Dime Saw
ings Bank for $350000 The mortgage is at 4
per cent, and is to run for three years. Some
years ago the club obtained permission from
Justice Bookstaver of the Supreme Court to
mortgage it's property TO the savings institution
for S325OOo 1t generally thought last
night that the new mortgage is a renewal of
the old one. but member OF the club. who
was asked what the organization intended to
do with the money, said:
Il have heard rumors that the club might
soon consider plans for improving it's home. So
far as know. nothing definite has been DONE
None OF the officials of the organization could
be found last night.
The old mortgage was raised to pay of in
debtedness. II placed the organization on the
basis of one debt solely.
The club is one of the oldest and most ex-
elusive in the city. 1t was organized in 1915
and incorporated in 1874. Its present club
house once the Caswen mansion at one
time occupied by the University Club. The
Caswell mansion was some years ago remodelled
into building of the Queen Anne style The
first home of the New-York Club was in Cham
bers-st, opposite the Courthouse. 1t later moved
to Walker-st. and Broadway. to No T3T Broad

ACTION AGAINST FARO BANKS.

Judge Fort, in New-Jersey, does not permit
the laws to be triled with in the territory over
which his authority extends. 1t was due TO
his energetic measures that the faro banks OF
Long Branch were silent and deserted last sum-
mer. For long series OF years the profess
sional gamblers had done as they liked. They
owned and kept open q number OF conspicuous
buildings in the most frequented centres Of
that resort, and betting at the tables was
carried on day and night, with no pretence OF
concealment At Saratoga and most OF the
other watering places in the East the gaming
houses were closed on Sundays but at Long
Branch the first day Of the seven in July and
August brought larger crowds of players to the
temples of chance than any other. At no place
in the country were the men who thrive upon
the follies and vices of their fellows more au-
dacieus.
Judge Fort changed all thut He gave such
instructions TO the Monmouth County grand
jury that the county officials, who had been
previously lax and Indifferent TO the violations
Of law at Long Branch found 1t advisable to
pay closer attention to their duties and he did
not cOnfine himself to words. He took such
practical action that every faro bank in the
county kept its doors shut in 1901. But before
this season began some OF the gamblers made
arrangements with various persons previously
known as managers or proprietors of restau-
rants, casinos or hotels to act in their behalf
and TO open "clubhouses'' for public recreation
and refreshment, with the assurance that faro
tables, roulette wheels, dice and cards should
not be used on the premises. These pledges
were soon broken, and gambling was speedily
in progress upon an extensive scale Judge
Fort determined to strike, and he has struck
hard. The Sheriff of Monmouth County. with
his deputies, entered the so-called PENNSYLVANIA
Club" the most conspicuous and best known
of the gaming places at Long Branch. and ar
rested the head Of the place and his assistants
The grand jury has already found number of
indictments, and Judge Fort may be trusted TO
see to it that the prosecution is pressed vigor-
ously. The gamblers need expect no mercy,
and they are in a state OF panic
Why is not the law against faro banks en-
forced with similar energy in this city and in
Saratoga? The gamblers in Manhattan and at
Saratoga Springs do not appear to be In the
least disconnected. Why should New-York fall
behind New-Jersey in suppressing offences
against the statutes?
