TO CELEBRATE FOURTH
Business Hen planninG for Ansthsr
 Fireworks Display.

The Waterbury Business Mems as sociation is planning for another big blow out on July 4. The details have not yet been decided upon, but the in tention Is to make it a creditable af
 fair. There is some opposition to hold ing 1t where the one was held last year, because 1t is considered too far from the center of population, but on the other hand many think it difficult to find a more suitable spot. The green has been mentioned. but this is not looked upon with much favor in cer- tain quarters. The opposition to the park is based mainly on the ground that it Is too small for such purposes and besides the place would be torn up and damaged considerably. The fire works would ruin the elms and the grass would be torn up and ruined. Some think Hamilton park the proper place to hold the display, but whether this ould suit the powers that be is something nobody appears to know. In conducting thing of this sort the question of damage has to be taken in- to account. The collecting of large number of people. no matter how well behaved they may he. Into one place is usually attended with more or less damage. especially at this season, when lawns and gardens are fixed up and other patches of land under cultivation. For this reason it is thought that less injury would result from holding the celebration in Hamilton park than any place else and 1t would also he about as convenient to the public as any oth- CT site that could he chosen. But the matter is in the hands of the wise heads and it is safe to predict thst whatever they may decide to do will he for the hest interest of all and will meet with the approval of the public The first step is to provide the ammunl- tion and then the selection Of a site fo make the noise will be an easy matter. of course there will he conflicting opinious. but that Is to he expected. and besides the time wouldn't amount to anything if aIl were of the same mind. Last year the lorstion vas secret up to the eleventh hour and this kept everybody on the anxious seat and instead of hinsiering 1t helped to get sIl interested That wss what was wanted snd probably the committee has decided tc use the same tactics fhi. year. If the aldermen get . move cu them the city will own another park before July {. and maybe tt might he deemed wise to hold the celebration on the newly acquired territory.

BARRETT
 IS HOME.
Panama Minister I
 Has His Say.
Yellow Fever Cases Alarm Him-Says He Believes the Public Should Know the Facts.

New York, May 2O.-Sanitation and the preservation of health is the one great problem which confronts the American authorities in the Panama canal zone. according to statement given out by John Barrett. the Ameri- can minister to Panama, who arrived here to-day on the steamer Advance from Colon. He considers as alarm ing the report of five cases of yellow fever at Colon-"alarming," he says, because up to the time these cases were reported no yellow fever had ap- peared there, and 1t was hoped that the situation was in hand"
 T do not believe ln deceiving the public in these matters said Mir Bar rett Tt is far better that the truth should be known"
 Existing conditions on the isthmus present many difficulties, and while it is not a case for pessfmists, it is not the engineering it is not the admins tration problem that is confronting us. These are of secondary consideration to the problem Of health and sanita- tion. Here we have engineering prob lems that have been solved elsewhere and can be met, but the sanitation problem is new and presents many diff ficulties The climate Is against us and is ever present. Under the eftici- ent care of Dr Gorgas, the eminent yellow fever expert, everything possi- ble is being done to offset the increase of mortality. An alarming condition Is the report of five cases of yellow fever in Colon. It is alarming because up to the time these were reported no yellow fever had appeared and 1t was hoped that the situation was in hand. Considering the enormous number of canal employees on the isthmus, very small percentage of illness prevails, but you know how these things are. If one-half were sick with malaria nOth- ing would be thought of it, but if n case or two of yellow fever appears all the employees want to quit and get away. I believe these sanitary and health problems will be met successful ly, but they far overshadow all others.
 "I am going to Bogota and hope to accomplish something to establish most cordial relations betwen Columbia and our country. Panama is now ripe for a full establishment of cordial re- lations to Columbia and all feeling of enmity caused by the revolution has disappeared. My perSonal relations have been most cordial at Panama and there is no truth in the report of fric- tion. On my departure received a cordial letter from the foreign minister. At ROpOta I hold pleasant relations with Gen Reyes, the president"
 Herman Dietrich, United States con- sul general at Guayaqull, and about 20 canal employees, also arrived on the ad- vnce.

TAX ScALPERs.
City Taxpayers at San Francisco the
 Victims.

San Francisco, May 2O.-The Chron- Ice to-day says: A sheme which has been in operation in the tax collect Or's office for many months has just been uncovered by which nearly a million and half dollars worth of property has been secured for little more than $10O,OO0. The victims are the city's taxpayers. who are charged in some instances, 1t appears wrong ly, with delinquencies. The profits have gone to a ring of tax scalpers, who. were assisted in every possible way by the alleged defaulting tax collector Smith. and his subordinates in office. Records have been manipu- lated to keep the truth from coming out. and many poor people have had the title to their homes placed in je0p- ardy without so much as knowing that a shortage is charged against them.
 A thorough investigation will be made at once into the matter to devel- op, if possible. the extent to which these irregularities have been car ried on.

Twice in the past since the competition for the present cup began in 1900 after Harvard had won the first cup series of nine contests, have the Cambridge athletes been sue essful, while Yale has three victories to her credit.
