RICHARDS COMMENDED.
Mayor Says the City sealer Should be
Encouraged,

Mayor Morris has vetoed the re-
port Of the committee on markets
which allows city Sealer OF Weights
and Measures II T.. Richards 100 car
tickets per month and authorizes him
To hire horse and buggy TO trans
mort his scale weights when necessary
10 use them. Mn Richards asked au-
thority to purchase horse and buggy
so as 70 be better able TO keep up the
good work which ne has been doing
since ne was placed in charge Of the
Office. Mayor Morris, in the following
veto message, urges that the request
OF Mfr, Richards be granted.
TO the Honorable President and Mem
bers OF the city Council.
Gentlemen herewith return to your
honorable body, without my approval,
report No. b3S OF committee on markets,
IN the matter OF horse and buggy for
the sealer Of weights and measures,
for the following reasons.
The committee recommends that the
said officer be denied horse and
buggy, which he asks for. and, In lieu
thereof, that he be allowed 100 car
tickets per month, and, at certain odd
times, he be allowed a horse and wagon
TO properly perform his duties
I believe that, considering the excel
lent work this officer has done IN the
past and Is endeavorng to carry on In
the future, he certainly should be FUR
nished with horse and wagon, that he
can more fully look after the interests
OF the people who have 80 shamefully
been robbed by dishonest peddlers and
merchants In this city IN the past
with the report amended that the
said officer be furnished with n horse
and wagon at cost not 10 exceed 5000
] shall gladly approve t.
Very respectfully,
RICHARD T.. MORRIS,

DAMAGE TO THE OYSTERS.
Presence Of Musseis in Maryland Considered
Something OF q Plague.

BALTIMORE, Sept. PA plague has

Chesapeake, at the dawn of Sept. 1. he drew
In a goodly number of the bivalves that
have made the name of Baltimore and
Maryland famous, but clinging close to the
shell were several small mussels. Since
then the mussels have continued to in
crease, and have spread until they are dam
aging the oysters in all Of the Mary land
waters. The latest reports from York
River say that they have begun to appear
there.
While there were only few mussels
on the oysters nothing was thought of the
matter, as the beginning Of each season sees
these pests; but when the mussels. instead
Of disappearing. began to spread, appear
ing in places where they were never before
known, the tongers and oyster commission
men began to feel some alarm. This morn
ing at the Pratt street wharf the whole talk
was of the plague that has stricken the
oyster. A similar plague struck the Mary
land oyster beds fifteen years ago. The
musses steadily increased until bushel
would not shuck more than quart, and
the oysters were nothing but skin and water.

PISTOL BATTLE In STREET.
SIXTEEN SHOTS FIRED, BUT NO

Man Who Began the Trouble Gets or with

His Fire Held--ROw Due to Charge
That WIFE Had Been Enticed Away

In lively battle at Canal and Centre

were fired, but not hit scored. and the
man who began the firing got of with a
fine Of $40. $50
Salvatore Santanello and James Deiasse,
living at 2l4 Canal street, had started for
work at o'clock. when they met Alfonso
Lettita Of al Macdougal street.
Lettita drew a revolver and bazed away
across the street. santanello and Defasse
at once got out their guns and returned
the fire.
Santanello and Defasse retreated along
Canal street and down Centre toward the
Criminal Courts Building. At the corner
Santanello fired his last shot and
started of at top speed Defasse stopped
at the corner, and reloading his re-
volver, waited for Lettita. Several shots
were exchanged at distance Of not more
than ten feet, and the two might have been
shooting yet had not Detective Sergeant
hGhu taken hand in the fight and over
powered the duellists. Policeman RICK
ards captured Santanello about the same
time.
Meanwhile the streets had been almost
deserted by the crowd, which scrambled to
get under cover. Tie police estimated
that 2 200 persons were exposed to the hre,
but so far as could be learned no one was
hurt.
The three Italians were taken at once to
the Tombs court. Magistrate Mayo had
heard the shooting as he sat on the bench,
and there had been considerable excitement
in the court room.
Lettita was fined $40. He got off easily
because he told the Magistrate that San
tanello had enticed his wife away and was
living with her. Santanello denied the
charge but Ma gistrate Mayo was convinced
Santanello and Defasse were held in 81 900

CUSTOMS CIGAR STAMP.
Hearing In the Controversy Between the
independents and the Tobacco Trust.

Hearing In the controversy betWeen u'o
Independents and the Tobacco Trust
WASHINGTON, Sept 24.-Representatives
of the American Tobacco Company and OF
the independent tobacco and cigar man.
ufacturers Of the United States we're heard
before Acting Secretary of the treasury
Taylor to-day on the question OF changing
the form and color of the customs stamp
on boxes of imported cigars. Some time
ago Assistant Secretary Armstrong, VINO
is in charge Of the customs branch OF the
Treasury Department, ordered that IN
stead of the present large pink stamp
which appears on boxes of imported cigars
an inconspicuous green stamp, somewhat
similar in appearance to the internal reve-
nue. stamp, be used. The order was issued
upon representations by the independent
cigar manufacturers of the United States
that the Use Of the conspicuous pink stamp
was operating in a discriminating manner
to the advantage Of a class of citizens known
as the tobacco trust. The arguments put
forth by the independent manufacturers
appeared reasonable to Mr.. Armstrong
and he ordered that new stamp be De
signed to take the place OF the one that
has been in use since 1886.
Assistant Secretary Armstrong was IN
New York last week to hear prot ests from
the representatives of the American To-
bacco Company, who contended That the
Government would be assisting in the
preparation of u fraud by changing the
form of the customs stamp After hearing
both sides to the controversy, however,
Mr.. Armstrong declined TO modify MS
previous order. The attorneys for the
tobacco combination then appealed to
President Roosevelt, and in accordance
with the Presidents wish, Acting Secretary
Of the Treasury Taylor ordered that re-
hearing be held to-day at which both sides
should again appear.
large number Of interested persons
were present when the hearing was begun
at 10 O'Clock this morning in Mr. Taylor's
office. Among those present beside As
sistant Secretary Armstrong and other
leading Treasury officials were Attorneys
Parker and Cobb of the American Tobacco
Morris s. Wise Of New York. chief counsel
for the Independent cigar manufacturers;
John Landstreet, president OF the lnde-
pendent Tobacco Manufacturers Associa
ton Of America; A. Bijour Of the National
Cigar Leaf Tobacco Association, and Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor, who represented the inter.
ests OF the International Cigar Makers
Union.
The representatives OF the American
Tobacco Company were asked by Acting
Secretary Taylor to open the hearing and
to give their reasons why the form OF the
cigar customs stamp should remain I'M
changed. The arguments OF both sides
were substantially repetition OF the argu-
ments submitted at the New York hearing
last week, but each side set forth its position
on the question in greater detail, and the
hearing lasted nearly four hours.
No decision will be rendered by the Act
ing Secretary Of the Treasury until the
legal points raised have been passed upon
by the Solicitor Of the Treasury.

U. S. DREDGE LAUNCHED.
Second Vessel Completed to Remove Sand
From Florida Waters.

The seagoing suction dredge Caucus,
built for the United States Government by
the James Reilly Repair and Supply Com
pany. was launched yesterday at the yard
at Greenport, L. l. The vessel was christ
ened by Miss Anna NJ. Bowman, daughter
OF M K Bowman, manager OF the Reilly
company,
This is the second vessel Of the kind that
has been built for the Government. The
dredges are to be used to remove the sand
from the mouth Of the st. Johns River,
Fla, and the harbor Of Pensacola, Fla
These vessels are Of a type which has sprung
into use during the last few years. ln
appear auce they resemble ooasting steam
ship, with the addition that on each side
Of the vessel there is a large tube, swiNeling
amidship, which is lowered so that the free
ends, fitted with heavy scrapcr MOBILES,
will drag on the bottom.
The vessel Is then propelled under her
own steam at moderate speed and large
centrifug gal sand pumps in the ship draw
up the sand and water and discharee them
into the main body of the vessel. When
the compartments, holding 1900 tons, are
filled, which takes about forty-tive min
utes, the tubes are drawn up and the ship
proceeds to sea, where the sand is dumped.
