OFFICE OF COLLECTOR
ASKS FOR MORE MONEY
Mr.. Davis Would Like to See
Salaries of His Assistants
Increased.

The first Of the estimates of the va
rioGs departments of the local govern
mert for the fiscal year of 1907 was
submitted to the Commissioners today.
IT was that of the office of the Collec-
tor of Taxes, and it provides for an in
crease of s., 300 over the amount appro-
priated for the present fiscal year
The most important addition to the es-
timated expenditures is for the deputy
collector of taxes, whose present salary
is 81, 800 per annum. Mr.. Davis. the Col
lector. asks that his assistant draw u
salary of $500 in the future, in view
of the fact that his duties are import
ant and exacting and that his remuner-
alton should in some degree accord with
the requirements. dignity, and import
ance of the position.
An increase Of 500 is requested in the
salaries of the cashier. assistant cash
Ter. and bookkeeper. The other est
mates for larger expenditures in 1861
are of minor Importance.

ST. PETERSBURG, July S--The news
from Kustenji that the rebel warssitp
Kniaz Potemkin had surrendered to the
Roumanian authorities was received Dy
officials with unfeigned joy.
A demand will, it IS believed, be.nade
upon the Roumanian government fey the
surrender Of the mutIneers. Their fate,
if they are delivered into the hands of
the Russian government, may be Judged
from statement made today by a high
officer of the admiralty before the re-
port from kustenji reached here.
Pirtes' Fate Awaits Them.
He said:
ITO make terms with these pirates
would simply mean the destruction of all
authority and discipline in both the
army and navy, and would do vastly
more damage than anything that it
would be possible for the rebels them
selves TO dc. They will be pursued un-
til they are oyertaken and destroyed or
captured.
When captured they will be treated as
pirates have always been. Anything less
would be an acknowledgements OF in

Trouble With Troops.
There continues to be rumors of un-
rest and approaching mutnity among
the troops. As yet there have been no
serious developments SO far as can be
ascertained. The best opinion among
the well informed here is that the great.

Standing Upright.

Futile efforts were made to affix
graphing irons. An Italian tug came to
the aid of the French and German sal
wage tugs, and a cable was made fast
on the bow of the submarine, but her
stern went down until she was stand
ing almost upright, with her prov
pointing upward.
The d'smay among the rescuers was
we!l-nigl, indescribable. They had work
ed with desperate energy for twenty
four hours, knowing that every minute
brought the imprisoned men nearer
to death.
The supply of compressed air could
not be conserved nor increased. and
with every breath the wretched prison
ers were exhausting the limited supply
of atmosphere that would sustain life.
When at last The tugs succeeded IN
passing haWsers under the submerged
craft fore and aft and drawing her

A violation of this law leads to
the further crime OF perjury, for
every officer must take an oath that
he "has not paid money or other
valuable thing for the vote or influ-
ence Of any elector, either directly
or indirectly, or for any corrupt
purpose whatever, incident to an
election" r"
There are other things beside the
giving of money that are demoraliz-
ing. A rumor is current here that
clam bake was given in one of
the upriver townships last Sunday
afternoon, in the interest of certain
candidates, and that there were
nine barrels OF beer OH the ground.
We cannot vouch for this, but are
endeavoring to verify it. If true,
The candidates concerned in it ought
to be beaten to finish. We don't
know who they are, and don't care
who they are. 1t is high time for
such things to cease.
