STRENGTHENING DEFENcEs.
many improvements to be Made al
Fort Totten.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 13.-
Inc quartermaster general of the
army has provided for important con-
tract work at Fort Totten, New York.
This work includes repairs to the
building now used by the electrician
sergeants attached to the school of
submarine defence. Considerable in
terest is taken by the artillery officers
In that institution, for which it is de-
sired to obtain at the present session
of congress liberal appropriation. An
effort will be made by the chief of
artillery to accomplish this when he
appears before the house and senate
military committee in regard to the
army bill. The disposition of con-
gress is to do little for the establish
ment at Fort Totten, not because there
is any feeling that the school of sub
marine defence is not a valuable part
of the artillery system of education
but it is realized there is necessity for
economy in the military establishment
and the school at Fort Totem will be
restricted in it's development accord

Shareholders of New York Institu-
ton Are Disappointed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-To the great
of those Of the $4,000
stockholders of the defunct New York
Building Loan Banking company
whose needs had made the prospect
of a dividend being declared by the re-
ceiver take. on a flavor Of Christmas
cheer, notice Of the continuation of
the custodianship has been filed. In
stead of parceling out the funds
Charles M. Preston, the receiver, will
ask the supreme court on December
13 to prolong his term Of Office for at
least another year.
While it is doubtful that the motion
to be made by Charles w. Dayton, as
receivers counsel will be opposed by
either the general creditors or the
shareholders, the latter received the
notification with much regret 1t was
known that there is now approximate
ly s40O,0OO in Mr.. Preston's hands.
Because of the almost hopeless
tangle in which the affairs Of the COM
pany-the largest in the world-were
when the courts intervened, it has
been deemed best to make haste slow
ly. In response to the receivers pc
tition, the court ordered that his ac-
counts be submitted to a referee, to
whom also the matter of outside
claims was sent.
