Two Vessels Held at Disposal Of
Presidsnt and Family.
ROOSEVELT PROBABLY DRAWS
ON HIS PRIVATE FORTUNE TO
PAY FOR THE ELABORATE EN-.
TREATMENTS WHICH HAVE
MARKED HIS ADMINISTRATION
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY WAS
FRUGAL AND is SAID TO HAVE
SAVED 100000.
BY Barney O'Donahue.

1t costs the American people a little
less than 100000 a year to pay the
salary of the President of the United
States, TO maintain his mansion and
executive Offices, and the naval YES
sells which are held at his disposal.
This is a tax of about s,x-eights of a
cent upon each man, woman, and
ehild--certainly not a heavy burden.
Compared with what it costs to sup
port the royal families of the old
world Americans are ruled at bar
gaincounter rates.
In the accompanying table, the cost
Of keeping in commission two naval
yachts is included. AS to whether the
whole OF these sums is properly
chargeable against the president Is a
matter upon which there is a differ
ence Of opinion. The naval vessels
were not built expressly for the presi-
dents use, nor are they officially as.
signed to that duty. They are held,
however, at his disposal, and while
they are subject to any other business
which may be required of them, in
these piping times of peace there is
not much else for them to do
Those who insist that the cost of
keeping In commission the Mayfiower
and the Sylph is a proper charge
against the cost of the Chief Execu-
Tive argue that were it not for the
TACT that the president uses them, the
vessels could be placed out of commits
sion, thus effecting an annual saving
OF about $4,000. The answering ar
gument is that the same would hold
true OF all other vessels of the navy,
were 1t deemed wise policy to lay
mem up and discharge their crews
just because We have not a war on
hand.
Travelling Expenses.
The second item in the table. that of
$25'OOO for the presidents travelling
expenses, was voted for the first time
al the session of Congress lust closed
The enactment states that the sum is

president to travel in special trains
furnished by railroads without cost to

PREMATURELY SPRUNG.
Plot to Capture Three of Russia's
Great Sea Fortresses.

Helsingfors, Aug. IA gigantic
military conspiracy aiming at the
simultaneous capture OF Russia's three
great sea fortresses, Cronstadt, Sc
bastopol and Sveaborg, and arranged
by the Revolutionary military league,
was prematurely sprung here by an at
tempt to arrest members of a company
OF sappers who had mutinied on ac-
count of the death OF one of their COM
rades, alleged to have been due to i'll
treatment. The garrison Of the fort
ress at Sveaborg famed instantly into
revolt All the artillerymen and sap
pers were involved. Only four COM
panies of infantry remained loyal. The
mutineers seized forty machine guns
and practically all the quick-firers and
light artillery in the fortress, and
after a long and desperate fight they
still hold the main fort against the
loyal infantry. The fighting continued
all night

loyal troops after heavy fighting, in
which nine cruisers, destroyers and
torpedo boats participated.
The firing on the islands and from
she fortress has ceased and in spite
OF the fact that the occupation of the
entire water front by Cossacks pre-.
vents the obtaining of positive news,
1t is understood at Helsingfors that
the mutinous artillerymen and sappers
still are holding their positions. The
outlying islands and the fortress ap-
pear to be in their possession and they
practically have all the machine guns.
quick firers and movable artillery of
the fortress.
General Laiming, the commandant
or the fortress, is holding the main
fort on Commander island with loyal
infantry.
A general strike was declared in
Helsingfors by the Socialist work
men Wednesday, All factories have
been closed
The last direct dispatch from the
correspondent of the Associated Press,
which has just arrived here, was
eleven hours en- route from Helsing-
fors. The correspondent said that
the "Red Guard" the armed Socialist
legion, was contemplating an armed
uprising to release the prisoners cap
tured in the Skatudden barracks.
Owing to the cutting of telegraph
wires by the flying expedition of the
"Red Guard" which destroyed the
railroad at Riihioaki, the Associated
Press is receiving the freshest news
OF the mutiny by the roundabout
means of telephoning to Viborg and
telegraphing from there to ST. Peters
burg. This entails a delay Of several
hours.
The military authorities have re-
ceived telegram from Helsingfors
from Major General Laiming announc-
1ng that the fortresses and artillery
had opened fire on Commander is
land. The insurgents seized artillery,
all the machine guns and took posses
sion of one Of the islands. Some of
the telegraph wires have been cut.
Major General Laiming added that
nf himself was on Commander island
with four companies of the garrison
and two companies Of sharpshooters
sent from Helsingfors. He does not
give the number Of casualties.
Premier Stolypin also has received
frequent messages concerning the
mutiny.
He told caller that the situation is
critical to an extreme degree. Almost
the entire fortress is in the hands of
the insurgents, and there are COM
paratively few loyal troops in Helsing-
fors,

AN |NPOR TANT QUESTION
The Selection of a Proper Site For New
City Hall buzzles The Council At
Their Recent Meeting.

| The question which is now bafora
our people, and it is an important
one, is of such gravity that it should
De discussed at every fireside and
place OF business. It is the building
OF the new city hail.
The city hall as now being CON-
templated, embraces two very dis
'lhct and important factors. It is not
hiohe the erection of building where
the city council and other bodies hava
place to hold meetings and discuss
ana transact city business, offices for
city officials, but within the buildings
walls there is to be a city library
compartments suitable for the fire
appliances, also a city JAIL. For these
purposes it is absolutely essential that
such building must be centrally To-
Gated In order to meet the require
n1ents OF all and show no partjality
to few
AS this building must serve all these
requirements, the selection of a site
must meet with the approval of the
masses, and must be within a radius
of where the citizens will have ac-
cess to that building readily. It is
foregone conclusion that it must be
built, it is also essential that the
need OF place where the firepana-
phanalia can be stored and when calls
upon it made, it will be in a spot SO
as to afford the least possible delay
for its run to the fire; from that
stand alone, it will be well to bear
in mind that We must have it, So
speaking in the center or as near
to it as possible. We can afford but
one fire house, consequently that one
must be within easy reach.
AS a place for library, the above
argument holds good in part, but it
does not entirely cover the vital points
of why this building should be in a
locality where the child, the youth,
the young woman budding into life
whose mind before had not been stain
ed by other thoughts than the
teachings and trainings Of her mosh-
er's purity. The parents have the re-
sponsibility of their pcs.erity: They
must bear the burdens from the sins
of their children; though the child
rem suffer the parents doubly so. The
temptations of life, when protrayed to
youth, exercises am influence which
only the strong mind can overcome.
Let us not be led into temptation. Do
not. in other words, place before the
undevelored. minds, object lessons
