 ly One Million Dollars.

Washington, Sept 7.-The navy department will shortly open bids for the construction of several "de- tention" buildings at the naval train ing station at Newport, R. l., the sum of $94.321 having been appro- priated by congress at its last ses- sion for this work. It is the inten- tion of the department to use these buildings for the quartering of the recruits during the first few weeks at the station so as to observe their physical condition and thereby pre- vent the spreading of any hidden dis ease to the other buildings at the station. Five of the buildings will contain four sets of living quarters for fourteen men each and the sixth building will contain the cook house, laundry. boiler room and the quar- ters of the petty officers on duty at the camp.

WALKER IS IN FAVOR.
Third Ward Alderman Speaks for
 Brooklyn Improvements.

Who says that the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement society and Alderman Thomas B Walker are on the outs? It is no such thing.

He endorsed the work in which the society is engaged and said that he hoped to see all that the boys are looking for become realities in a very short time. The Clark street extension matter was touched upon and the aldermen handled it in man. ner that pleased his hearers. He said it is now past the board of public works and the aldermen and that the next hearing on it will be before the bureau of assessment next Thursday night. The alderman's remarks were received with much enthusiasm and when he got through the meeting gave him an ovation, something like that rendered to William Jennings Bryan at the National Democratic club in New York.

READY FOR BIG RACE.
The Harvard and Cambridge Crews
 Had Trial Races This Morning.

Putney. Eng. Sept 7.-Both the Harvard and Cambridge crews were out for brief periods this morning to keep their muscles tuned up, but the work was confined to practising starts in which the experts found It. tie to choose between the crews. Each side is quietly confident but among outsiders and riverside oarsmeh there Is an entire absence of that self-confidence regarding the result which Is almost always present full week before the anual Oxford Cam bridge contests. Generally speaking the professionals favor the Ameri- cans and the amateurs pin their faith to the Cambridge crew.
 Ambassador whitelaw Reid and Mrs Reid will follow the race to-mor- row in a launch jointly chartered by Harvard and Cambridge for the ac- commodation of their friends.
 The Harvard men who have ar ranged to sail for home on the American line steamer St Louis. Sep tember IS. will spend Sunday at Cambridge and go to wreast park September 10. as the guests of Am bassador and Mrs Reid.

The dog committee of the board of public health has an important work on hand and if 1t does 1t well the pub lie will give 1t due credit. Nobody wants to see the dog banished alto gether, but everybody is anxious to see some restrictions put upon him. Why wouldn't 1t be good idea to place trife more responsibility on people who think they couldn.t get along wfrn0uy n dog or two! See that they registrar their pets and keep them off the public ways. unless they are with them. Don't muzzle the dogs or tic them up, but if they are 1t large bring the owners Into court and fine them. What Waterbury wants to do to straighten out this dog question. Is somebody to go around and find out whether they are reg istered or not, and then let the po- lice attend to all of them found trOt- ting around the streets without some body to keep them well in hand.

MAD DOCS STILL

ONE MAN BADLY BITTEN
On His Way to Work When Animal Attacked Him - Wound Was
 Cauterized By Dr Hayes.

The dogs of Waterbury got another black eye when a mongrel emerged from an alIeyway on Brown street shortly before l o'clock this after noon and sunk its teeth into the left leg of Laurence Walsh who was hur- rying along to his work at the fac tory of the Scovill Mfg Co. MT Walsh belongs in Willimantic and this was his first day in Waterbury. He feels the situation keenly and wishes that he had remained where human be- ings don't walk the public ways at risk to life and limb. The dog spent a half hour about the corner of East Main and Brown streets snapping at everybody and everything. Officer Walsh was put on the trail of the dog, and after chase put it out of business. The wound made by the animal was cauterized by Dr John F. Hayes. MT Walsh resides on Brown street.
 It Is said that the dog was mad and that is what causes so much anxiety on the part of the injured man and his friends. If any other kind of animals but dogs were ter rorizing people in this way the city would be offering reward of $10 or $15 a piece for their heads It is times the authorities handled the dog question in more vigorous manner.
 Another rabid dog on Baldwin street to-day kept pedestrians on the anxious seat until 1t was killed by a bullet from Officer Peter Myers's revolver.
