BEL LMONTS NAY NOT GET ROADS.
strong Opposition Develops at Hearing
In Newport.

NEWPORT, r. l.. June 5,-There was
long hearing tonight before the Board of
Aldermen of Newport on the petition OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver II. p. Belmont to close
certain roads in the lower section of tho
city near their place, Belcourt, in return
for which they would give the city new
roads laid out by them.
The idea OF the matter is to insure privacy
to the Belmont estate, "a at present two OF
the roads which they ask shall be closed
pass by their door.
There has been bitter feeling in New
port over the matter, and as a result there
was large attendance Many of the
summer people, who opposed the scheme
and who were unable to be present, were
represented by counsel. Mr.. Belmont was
present. but being represented by Col.
Samuel r. Honey. had nothing to say.
Ex-Gov. Charles Warren Lppitt was on
hand and spoke against the granting OF
the petition. He was also represented by
Col. William p. Sheffield and Judge Burke.
Lawyer Charles Crandall appeared for
number of townspeople, who did not care
to appear personally in the matter.
The hearing began at o'clock and 1t was
nearly II when an adjournment was taken,
and although the Board of Aldermen did
not give decision in the matter, preferring
to view the premises before doing SO in
view OF the strong opposition, the i'm
preston seems to prevail that the petit

Danger in Preferential Tariff.
Speefol Cable Despatch TO THn SUN.

LONDON, June 5.-Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, in a speech at Perth to-day.
attacked Mr. Chamberlain's preferential
tariff proposals. He compared tho Govern
ment to cuttlefish, which, when pursued
by an enemy, emits an inky 1uid to con-
fuse and blind its pursuers, under cover
of which it seeks tn escape.
The Government, no said, was faced BY
numerous diemmas, which were mostly
of its own creation. 1t sought relief from
an intolerable position by wantonly rails
ing fiscal question, in the discussion OF
which it hoped its own faults and failures
would he hidden.
The purpose OF Mr.. Chamberlsin's scheme
was To cement the empire by bonds Of sclf-
interest. The speaker would yield to no
one in loyalty and admiration Of the empire,
but he never rated loyalty and admiration
30 low as to believe that such squalid bonds
were necessary to maintain it. The pro-
posals involved the raising Of the cost OF
the necessaries OF life OF the people in order
that the colonial producer might have larger
profits and the landowner larger rents.
1t was said that 80 per cent. Of the people
of Great Britain lacked a sufficiency OF
daily food and, allowing for comparative
populations, the scheme meant that for
every man in the Colonies who benefited
from the scheme one head would be showed
under water in Great Britain. On the
heels of tariffs came the trust and the end
Of all would be national decentralization.
The master hand in the Ministry had set
the seal upon his decree that fiscal revolu-
tion would be the issue of the next election.

LONDON, June GA despatch to the
Daily Nr,ra from Sofa reiterates the story
published few days ago that the Mace

use Indian plague hacilli to cause an out
break of that disease, IL their demands are
not conceded The inception Of this plan
il ascribed to Boris Sarafof. the notorious
Macedonian leader The correspondent

explosions a, Salonica, and predicts the
future destruction Of banks, commercial
houses, railways and other property owned
by European capitalists
Dealing with what it describes az the
terrific means cont emplated by the Mace
dionan patriots to secure their aims, the
paper says that a supply of bubonc bacilli
sufficient to spread death and panic In
Cons,antinople. Salonica and many other
places has been in readiness for long time
In the dirt of Constantinople and Salonica
the plague germs once set free would null
tiply by millions. The Sultan would take
flight, and his palaces, built with the blood
and tears of Bulgarian laborers, would be
deserted. The plague would demoralize
the Turkish Army and disperse it. As for
the Macedonians, they may save them
selves as their fathers always did when
plague visited the land They will take
refuge in the mountains while the Turks
in the towns fall victims to the disease or
seek safety in fight to Anatolia. In the
mountains the Macedonians can subsist
for long time on their focks of sheep
and goats, and can even grow corn without
venturing into the plague-stricken plains.
The Vedomosti next considers the ques-
ton of how the Macedonians, who fight
for freedom and civilization can reconcile
this scheme Of spreading the plague with the
feelings Of common humanity. It frankly
confesses that it cannot answer the ques-
ton. 1t says'
1--WE can only say that the new plan y the
