 "A light took place in one of the Italion saloons near Jackson street shortly afte the firework exhibition was over last evening, and it looked for time as if it might result in something serious, but before it reach ed that staRe the proprietor of the place pushed the parties who were making all the trouble out the door into the street.

It is given out by one of the com mittee that they will lose about $2O0 on the affair, this is owing a great deal to the bad weather which we live had !nIing the past week; they were obliged to postpone one days program three times and this added greatly to their expense.

DISPUTE OVER PAY.
Co. E. and Adjutant-General Disagree
 May Go Into Court.

A misunderstanding between the adjutant generals office and one or two companies of the Second regi- ment, c. N. G., has arisen over the pay of the militiamen for the weeks work at Manassas. The misunder- standing is principally difference of opinion in the construction to be placed on the law regulating the pay of the men. The law reads that they shall receive $1.5O day. They have already received from the gov- ernment 43 cents a day for the week and Adjutant General Cole holds that they are entitled to the balance of the $1.50, or $1.07, from the state.
 The officers of Company D, Second, regiment, maintain that the men are entitled to the $1.50 day, over and above the government appropriation of 43 cents day, and Company Els pay roll has been made out and for warded to the adjutant general call- ing for $1.50 man.
 Adjutant General Cole refused to accept the pay roll believing that when the law says that the men shall receive. $1.50 a day 1t means $1.50,> and not $1.93. All the other compan- ies of the First, Second and Third regiments which have sent in their pay rolls have asked for SLOT, and so far Company B is the only one to claim $1.5O. It is thought that one or two other companies of the Sec ond will ask for $1.50.
 An order was issued from the ad- jIItant generals office August Il df- recting that the pay rolls be made out at SLOT, and all but Company E have complied. Adjutant General Cole said yesterday that if Com pany B insisted on $1.50 day they. would get nothing until they took the matter into the courts and secured judgment He said that he has no right to issue orders for the pay ment of more than $1.07 a day, and that if he issued such orders the state comptroller would in all prob ability refuse to sign.

QUIET IN MANcHuRlA.

Both Armies Resting After the Mine
 Day Battle.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 16.-The almost complete quiet prevailing at Liaoyang and Mukden is accepted here as the natural and inevitable conse- quence of the furious activity of the past three weeks. The view taken at Mukden that there is not likely to be a resumption of fighting in that imme- diate locality for month is regarded here as most probably correct.
 1t can hardly be expected that much actual news will develop in central Manchuria for some time to come, and attention is now turning toward Port latest report indicates, the Japanese are gathering strength for another spring at the fortress.
 It is taken for granted here that there will soon be news of importance from Port Arthur, since the Japanese throughout the war have seemed to all ternate their attentions between the beleaguered fortress and the Russian army toward the north 1t thus ap- pears that it is Port Arthur's turn to keep up the excitement while Field Marshal Oyama is preparing for the fall campaign.

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN COST.

While it is said to have cost only POO 900 to elect Abraham Lincoln in 1864, four times that sum was spent in the Hayes-Tilden campaign of 1S76, while in 1888, with tariff as the issue, $2, 100000 was said to have been used by both sides. and the figures have mounted upward since in some of the later campaigns. It might not be without interest at the outset, there fore, to dwell upon some of the items which go to make up these expendi, lures, and to consider first what fA called by some the Legitimate cam- paign expenses" The cost of main- taining national headquarters, with it's army of employees ranging from forty to one hundred men and women, has been estimated to be about $3,000 day. There are stump speakers who receive $10O a week and expenses
 The distribution of a single speech in printed form has cost as much as $6,- GOO, and there have been campaigns when twenty of such speeches havr been delivered and circulated. New York and other cities have had torch- light processiOns costing as much as 2,OOO, while $3,OO0 more has been expended on a single mass meeting for the music. decorations and hire Of the hall. But these are only the minor items of disbursements The heavy ones are made out of what is known as a secret or emergency fund Both sides are cont uaIly drawing from 1t, and usually exhaust it on the eve of election. The fund is used to turn the tide in states that are considered doubtful especially those on which the general result hingess- Edward Iissner in Harperss Weekly

OPINlN ON REMOVING
 DEAD TREES

The public will be interested in what City Attorney Kellogg will have to say in reply to the request of the de- partment of safety for an opinion re- garding the removal of trees Up to the present time the custom followed in such cases was to let the owner of the abutting property remove trees if he wanted to at his own expense, pro- vided there was nothing dangerous about them. If the trees were dead or decaying and threatened the safety of the public, then the city removed them and paid the cost, the street de. pertinent doing the work under the Jurisdiction of the board of public works, not the safety board.

 $2,OOO FOR ASSAULT T

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Drunken Man Raised Big Disturbance
 on Town Plot Last Night,

William Heffernan has for some time
 been regarded on Town Plot and vicin-
 ity as terror, but thirty or forty days will elapse before he will have an op-
 portunity to bother anyone again. He boarded with his brother Thomas. whose wife, however, had to have hiln put out of the house. That was four ] months ago and since then he has been
 source of annoyance to her. He used to stop her on the streets and make
 a scene. Frequently he called at the house in the night time and made up
 roars of all kinds. Occasionally he
 would break window or two by way
 of variety when he failed to force his way into the house
 Last evening he became intoxicated
 and, as usual, steered for his brothers ] house. Tapping on the window, l1a brought his brother to the door, who thought he was wanted by neighbor. The moment Heffernan saw the door open he tried to get in, and tussla with his brother resulted After the struggle the turbulent visitor found himself out in the street. There Ee
 made such noise that all the neigh bors collected and determined to have him arrested. They fell upon him liko
 an avalanche and tied him to a post.
 where he remained until Officer Hickey
 arrived and took him away
 Jeremiah Devine, owner of the
 house in which Heffernan's brother 1 lives, said. Heffernan is looked upon as terror in the neighborhood. Last evening before he went to his broth er's house he intimidated women and insulted them He threw stones at windows and damaged considerable
 property in that way. He finally bo-
 came so offensive that the people fell upon him and tied him up until an Ioficer arrived. He tried to escape, but the crowd kept their eyes on him. In MT Deyine's opinion Heffernan was fighting drunk.
 Heffernan told Judge Burpee in the city court to-day that the trouble was all over $5 note which he accused his sister-in-law of having taken He said his body was black and blue from the bruises Of the rope that bound him and the kicks and thumps ne got from the crowd. He looked as though he
 had been drinking deeply. Judge Bur
 peed did not believe his story about the $5 note and sentenced him to thar- | ty days in jail.
 Heffernan said he was an English soldier in the Boer war and that he
 also served in the English army in
 the East Indies.
 John Casey was charged with intox- l ication. He was found by Officer DTn- phy sleeping on the green yesterday forenoon As his record was gooc it having been four years since he was last in court, sentence was suspended.

REVIVAL OF SHIPPING
President David c. Reid Of the Har.
Ian & Hollinssworth Company
Delivers Address.

Before the committee on the revival
OF American shipping in Philadelphia
yesterday, President David c. Reed, Of
the Harlan & Hollingsworth Company,
made an address. In part he said:
"To my mind the revival Of Ameri-
can shipping can be accomplished cas-
lily by allowing the builder TO overcome
the difference in the cost of building
by the tonnage bonus equivalent to
the difference I'm cost between himself
and his European competitors, and
mileage allowance sufficient to over
come the difference in wages and eX-
penses paid in American ships used
In the foreign trade. 1 believe / am
correct in stating that today there are
no less than 500 foreign steamers char
tered by American firms engaged in
carrying trade to and from American
ports. not one Of which but would be
under the American flag IL conditions
were equal. The American shipbuild-
er and ship owner have been left to
fight out an almost hopeless task
against the subsidized foreign ship, the
evil being accentuated inasmuch as II
is not done openly and fairly, but by
secret agreements between European
governments and large steamship lines
Indeed it is an almost universally ac-
cepted fact that the Emperor of Ger
many recently advanced personally to
a shipbuilding firm in Germany the
additional cost of building two fast
German vessels in order to prevent the
contract going to an English yard"
