Commissioner. squabbIe.

Again this afternoon there was con- tention at the adjourned session of the Board of Revenue and Road Commis- sioners.
 The full membership of the old board was on hand and President Holcomb presided. Messrs Craft and Cowley, the recently elected members were pre- sent and demanded to be allowed to act They protested against Holcomb presiding and James Garrity sitting as member. Holcombe instructed the clerk to note the protests. Craft in- sisted that the new board should be organized and protested as a member holding a commission from acting Gov ernor Cunningham.
 Holcombe produced his commission as he said. issued two years ago by Governor Jelks and said immediately after he qualified and the board met he was elected President for four years and would act until the Supreme Court busted him.
 Garrity made a statement along the same lines as Holcombe as to his cre- dentials and the retention of his seat During the reading of a report from the road Superintendent Craft asked who was the committee and HoIcombe replied simmons. Andrews and him. self" He also stated that Andrews
 
 whom he succeeded on all committees on which Hamilton had previously served. The board despite the protests of Craft and Cowley, proceeded with the business on hand.
 Simmons offered the following reso- lution Resolved that the action of the board fixing the election of em- ployes be rescinded and the board meet tomorrow December 14th to elect em- ployes to office to serve for the year 1905."
 President Holcombe ordered a roll call after the motion had received a second, and Simmons, Bauer and An drews voted aye. Holcombe stated that he voted nay. Garity stated that he desired information before voting saying 1t was a kind of surprise to him as he did not think this resolution would come up. After considerable discussion Garrity asked Simmons to give the board a few days of grace in which to consider the matter and Simmons. by permission of his second, consented to make the date for next Saturday. It was so ordered. HoI- combe voting in the negative and the board adjourned to Saturday.
 In the Circuit Court quo warranto proceedings were filed by Craft and the same as were filed last week in the City Court and withdrawn by Holcombe and Garrity.

 Gentlemen:-Foley's Honey and Tar cured me of Consumption after had suffered two years and was almost des- perate. Three physicians failed to give me any relief and the last one said he could do me no good. l tried almost every medicine heard tell of without benefit, until Foley's Honey and Tar was recommended to me. Its effect right from the start was magical. I improved steadily from the first dose and am now sound and well, and think Foley's Honey and Tar is a God-send to people with Throat and Lung Trou- ble.

YACHTS PASS THROUGH sUEz CANAL
Their Mission Not Explained-Fly French
and British Flags

London Nov. PA telegram from Port Said
says that there is considerable interest there in
the movements Of three fast yachts, the Fioren-
tina, the Catarina and the Emerald, which have
just traversed the canal to Suez
The Fl0rentina is owned by Count de Vital.
Of Marsei1les; the Catarina belongs 10 the firm
or Camper & Nicholson, Of Gosport. and the En-
erald, turbine boat, belongs to Sir Christopher
Furness. The latter. however, is not on board.
and il appears that both the Emerald and Cata-
Iina have been chartered by individuals whose
names the agents refuse to divulge at the spe-
cial request Of the charterers
The Catarina and the Emerald have been in
the Mediterranean since November and No
vember ]. respectively. The Catarina's avowed
destination is India. The Emerald was at Jaffa
November 20.
r. TIE Fiorentina flies the French flag, and the
Catarina and the Emerald fly the British flag
The mission OF the yachts is a mystery but it is
suspected that the boats have some connection
with the Russian Admiralty, and that they Will
precede Fice-Admiral Voelkersam's division Of
the Second Pacific Squadron to explore the reefs
IN the Gulf Of Suez and around Shadwan Island.
Furness. Witty & Co. say the Emerald was
chartered for pleasure cruise, and emphatically
deny the suggestion that the charterers were
either Russian or japanese or in any connected

QUIET ON FIRING LINE.
4rtiHery at Moukden Silent for
THO Days.

Moukden. Nov. 24.-The artillery has been ST.
lent for two days The opinion prevails that if
the Japanese do not attack General Kuropatkin
will take the offensive again
Much difficulty is being experienced with
camp followers mostly Crcassians. Tartars and
other tribesInen from the Caucasus. They
swagger around in cloaks and fur hats. with
daggers at their belts, and have committed so
many depredations that severe measures have
been adopted to get rid of them.
The general question of housing the people OF
Moukden Is serious Chinese from all the sur
rounding country are 1ocking in for the winter,
and, besides the military. quarters must be
found for many civilian employees, members of
the sanitary corps etc. A small room, with no
conveniences. now costs 81 day. whereas be-
fore the war half dozen small houses in the
corral were rented for $50 year. The question
of heating is even more serious. Wood is worth
a cent pound. The commissarat is struggling
to make ample provision yet there is bound to
be much suffering especially at the front. For
tunstely. warm clothing for the soldiers has ar
rived.
Toxic, Nov. q, 8 p. m.-Manchurian headquar-
tiers in a telegram dated November % report:
At midnight on November % six hundred OF
the enemys infantry attacked Singluntun. Our
advanced pickets. after resisting the attack Tor
several hours, safely retired TO the main pouA.
The village was entirely burned by the enemy
At dawn on November % the enemy made
several surprise attacks near the Shakhe rail
way bridge and at PaotZuyen, but the attacks
We're entirely repulsed.

ROYALTY SNOWBALLING.
King Of Portugal and His Party
Enj0g Themselves at Chatszoorth.

London, Nov 24-King Charles of Portugal
and his party spent the last day of their visit
at Chatsworth shooting in the pheasant pre-
serves. The King, who is a magnificent shot,
did great execution. The whole district was
covered with deep snow. but the day was bright
Queen Amelie and the women of her suite
Joined the party at luncheon in big marquee
While awaiting the women, King Charles and
the other shooters threw snowballs al a. mark
This too tame for the King, who, catching
Marquis Desoveral the Portuguese Ambassador
10 Great Britain, off his guard made an accu-
rate shot the dignifed diplomat King
Charless example quickly followed. and the
whole party engaged like schoolboys in an active
battle, While none of the missiles were
actually aimed at his majesty, a number of dis
tinguished personages were less fortunate. For
some minutes the fun fast and furious. the
King being the most active and of the most
accurate among the fighters. The whole of the
unusual incident greatly enjoyed by a
gathered near by in the roadway.
