BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Frank Johnson, student at Lne Ottawa university, is spending a few weeks at his home on John street, re- covering from illness.
 Some of the streets in this section were very much torn up by yesterdays storm. In some of the streets big holes were made, rendering passage for teams rather difficult. A few eel lars were flooded but not much dam age done. The Naugatuck river was a rag ging torrent. It rose to an alarming height Crowds of people stood on the Brooklyn bridge and watched the torrents of water as they washed down the river.t Now and then huge cake Of ice came floating by. The ice and water did some damage to the logs or props which support partly the bridge of the Highland division. Several of the supports were swept away and oth- CTS were loosened. Trains passing over the bridge last night went at a slow pace

 Alderman Hewitt didn't look at the question in this light and remarked that the $15,OO0 found might be need- ed later on for the streets. adding that the appropriation for streets this year was small and that in all probability It will have to be added to.
 This brought Alderman Murray to his feet and addressing MT Hewitt he said: T don't quite agree with Alder man Hewitt that the appropriation for streets this year was small. On the contrary 1t was liberal, much more so than 1t has been i'll several years. Ev- erybody recognized this when the ap- preparations were being made, so that MT Hewitt mustn't make any more cracks like that. If anybody comes along here looking for more money for the street department this year he'lI near something from this side of the house."
 Mir Holmes said he should like to do whatever the mayor suggested and added that he believed the $15, GOO re- gently found would be needed for other things, comfort station for ex- ample MT Murray said provision was made to meet that, too, in the annual estimates.
 The amended ordinance relative to plumbers was taken from the table and passed to be engrossed.

Gen. Kuropatkin's Report Before His
Latest Defeat,

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 3.-Gen. kuro-
patkin, telegraphing to the Car under to-
days date, says:
AT nightfall on Thursday the Japanese
attacked our Sykwantun position, but were
repulsed after hot fight. They renewed
the attack at night, this time with success,
driving back regiment In the direction OF
Sakutun. The retreat Of this regiment led
to the evacuation OF the positions held by
other troops. Toward morning the troops
advanced gradually in order to retake the
Sykwantun position.
AT dawn yesterday assumed the Often
sive against Gen. Kuroki. At midday
the heads Of the attacking corps were in
line. Preparations are now being made to
retake with artillery the positions the
Japanese captured during last night. The
infantry is also advancing to the attack
During the night the Japanese violently
bombarded the interior OF the Russian
position inside the town of Iiaoyang, the
railroad station and the railroad itself.
Our losses we're insignificant.
4The commander of the garrison OF
Liaoyang has telegraphed to me that the
Japanese were repulsed with great loss
in attempting to take fort situated in the

OUR PROTEST TO RUSSIA.
No Proof That the Cargo OF the Calchas
Was COntraband.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The State De-
partnent has made formal protest to the
Russian Government against the seizure
of alleged contraband Of war on the steamer
Calchas, which was captured by the Rus
sian vladivostok squadron while on route
from Puget Sound to Japan. The con-
tention of this Government is that the freight
seized cannot be deemed contraband from
the mere fact that it was bound for the
ports of a belligerent power, but that it
would be necessary to show that 1t was
destined for the use of the army or navy
of Japan.
The protest took the same form that was
employed in the case Of the steamer Arabia.
The prize court at vladivostok has passed
upon the matter, holding that the goods
seized were in fact contraband. An appeal
from this Judgment has been taken to the
imperial court at st. Petersburg.
The Russian Government has not thus
far taken AN advanced attitude with regard
to American goods seized. and it Is de-
clared at the State Department that 1t 10
premature to assume that the Russian
Government will go so far in its definition
of contraband of war as to create an inter-
national division on the subject.

TO AVERT A MEAT FAMINE.
Retail Men In Chic ago Appeal to Country
Butchers 10 Send In q Supply.

CHICAGO, Sept Son the eve Of what
promises to be a real meat famine. owing
to the present strike situation, efforts we're
made tonight by both the wholesale and
retail meat dealers to devise plans to
avert the impending situation.
Both the Wholesale and retail dealers
hope to secure substantial help from the
country butchers in the Middle West and
to this end appeals were sent out to-day
to meat dealers in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa.
Wisconsin and other States. Tie appeal
urged the country butchers to buy and
dress all the beeves they can find and send
them to Chicago.
Meanwhile the big packers offer the re-
tailers access to their warehouses; In which
they say they have plenty of meat stored,
but they decline to make deliveries.
Samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, to-day telegraphed
President Donnelly that 1t would be i'm
possible for him to call a meeting OF the
executive council Of the Federation to con-
slider the butchermens strike.
President Donnelly's new order declar-
ing all meat unfair" means that the retail
market butchers who are members of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen must not handle meat nor serve
customers. Many Of the market butchers
are members of the union, in Chicago and
In other cities, 80 that the latest edict will
strike the public the hardest blow it has
vet been dealt and make the meat famine
moro certain.
The order will affect about 1900 men,
should they all respond to the order. which
seems doubtful In New York City, tho
order will affect 5000 men in the indie
pendent plants and retail stores, for the
latter are included in tho order as well as
the packing house butchers.
President Donnelly seemed to doubt the
wisdom of the move, but 1t is understood
that the allied trades are forcing the issue
and want to bring the strike to a climax.

New Haven Merchants Arrested on the
Charge OF Trolley swindlinE.
NEW HAVEN. Conn, Sept 3.-The police
here tonight arrested half a dozen well
known merchants for the illegal use OF
transfers OF the trolley system of this city.
Those arrested were John Gilbert, Louis
c. LOOMS and his son Harry, Daniel A.
Burrows, Frank Murray and Fl. f. Smith.
1t was said by the officials Of the road to.
night that the company had been losing
500 a day by this transfer irregularity.
For two months the company has had de-
tectives going over the line spotting those
who used the transfers wrongfully, and it
was limited tonight that more arrests would
soon follow.
According to the statement OF the prose-
cutting attorney tonight the accused mer-
chants had obtained transfers from the
conductors and instead of using them them
selves passed them along to their friends
who by previous arrangement would be
waiting at an appointed place to receive
them. Then the transfers would be used
on the line for which they were punched,
the user getting his ride for nothing.
Conductor j. W. Brown Of the same road
was arrested at the same time for en-
bezzlement and his bail fixed at 5000. The
were nine counts of theft against him.

fore leaving, he said:
Everything. 80 far as am able to judge,
points toward Republican success this fall.
The country is prosperous, the people are
contented, and there is no demand for
change in administration. The West is
overwhelmingly for Roosevelt and | am
sure that the policies Of the Republican
party commend themselvef favorably to
the industrial interests OF the East. There
fore, do not hesitate to say that the pros
poets OF the Republican success are very
encouraging.
What about the situation in Wisconsin,

tainty there at present" replied the Post
master General, owing to the trouble be-
tween La Toilette and anti-Ia Toilette
factions, but we look for an early decision
from the courts, and trust that harmony
will be restored. 1t Is a bitter fight, but
whatever the result on the Sta tie ticket, I
have no doubt that Roosevelt will carry

LONDON, Sept 3-There were no outward
signs of his richly deserved disgrace in the
manner of the Grand Duke Poriss arrival
at St. Petersburg, for he travelled in true
grand ducal luxury. How he will be treated
remains to be seen. 1t is stated in the
clubs at ST. Petersburg that he will be sent
in exile to Archangcl for six months, and
then will be reduced to some minor post in

that his services will be of the slightest

him to st. Petersburg to congratulate the
Gar on the birth Of his son in behalf of the
Russian army and for rest. This aristo-
cratic warriors view OF the campaign
seemed to have been chiefly confined to
complaints about the heat Of the sun and

JERSEY BOATS IN A CRASH.
ASBURY PARK RIPS OFF PART
OF THE SANDY HOOKS RAIL.


--IAfeboats Ordered Overheard - Ac-
cident Happened in . Fog When the
Asbury Tried TO Dodge q Sailboat.
The American liner st. Paul, putting out
to sea, passed the Jersey Central steamboat
Asbury Park, bound for Atlantic High
lands, just below the Narrows, about 1880
O'Clock yesterday morning. catboat with
three men in 1t lodged around the stern OF
the st. Paul squarely in front Of the Asbury
Park. The fog was 30 thick that the crew
of the Asbury Park had not seen the sail
boat until 1t was almost under the steam
boats nose.
Capt. Braisted OF the Asbury Park turned
his boat almost at right angles in order not
to run down the catboat. The Sandy Hook,
also OF the Jersey Central's Sandy Hook
line, was coming in from Atlantic Highlands.
and, like the catboat, had been hidden by
the dense fog. The bow of the Asbury
Park struck the Sandy Hooks side three
quarter blow, then ripped its way along
the side.
Both steamboats, were pretty we'll filled
with passengers and when they heard the
crash most Of them we're badly frightened.
The fog blanket was 80 heavy that no one
for a time knew how much damage had
been done or whether there was any danger
that either boat would sink.
The Sandy Hooks captain ordered the
lifeboats into the water and the Asbury
Park stood by in case her services were
needed. Both crews showed perfect dis
cipline in obeying orders.
In few minutes it was found that the
worst of the damage was the ripping away
of forty feet OF the Sandy Hooks guard
rail on the port side and a hole above the
water line. Then the alarm of the Sandy
Hooks passengers was quieted.
The Asbury Parks bow was partly stovet In
'Thera was no real danger at any time, v
said Capt. Braisted last night. "The acci-
dent was attributable to the fog in the first
place, otherwise we would have seen the cat
boat in plenty Of time to avoid the Sandy
Hook Even If the accident had been more
serious the crews Of the boats were 30 well
drilled that loss of life would have been
practically impossible
