AGAINST FEE SYRTEM.
State Investigating Committee of Ver- mont Report on Condition
 of Prison.
NO IMM0RALITY FOUND THERE

Montpelier, Vt, Aug 11.-Condi- tions generally favorable to the house of correction at Rutland were found by the state Investigating commits sion appointed by Governor Charles J. Bell in accordance with the action of the last legislature, according to their report to the governor, which was made public to-day. Charges of graft and mismanagement which had been made against the officers of the institution are not sustained by the commission, which consisted of N. G. Williams, c. H. A. Stafford and H. F. Brigham.
 Their report which is very lengthy goes into detail regarding the busi- ness management and general house of correction and quotes letter writ ten by F. S. Pratt of Brattleboro, who was employed by the commission as an expert accountant. Recommenda- tions are made that more business like methods be made in certain de- partments, that salaries of some of the officials be increased, that the accommodations for prisoners be en- larged and that a change be made in the fee system which, the report says, lis in large measure responsi- ble for the overcrowded condition of the house of correction"
 The commission finds no basis for charges of immortality at the insti- tuition.

STEAMER STRUCK BRIDGE One Span Was Thrown Into tho River and Traffic is Con-
 pletely Blocked.
STEAMERS BOW STOVE IN

Duluth, AIinn, Aug 1.-The steam CT Troy, 6,OO0 ton steel package freighter owned by the Western Transit Co, at o'clock this morning, ran into the span of the interstate bridge and precipitated 1t into the channels on either side of the center pier on which the span rcvolved. Navigation to and from the upper harbor, the most active portion of the head of the lakes is blocked: It is impossible even for tug to pass.
 Street railway and team traffic be- tween Duluth and Superior is cut off and will be for some time to come.
 The bridge is owned by the Great Northern railroad. The draw span was 800 feet in length, one of the longest in the world. Forty steam CTS now in the upper harbor are cut off from returning to the lakes or to the Duluth side of the harbor. Most coal docks are on the upper harbor, also many of the grain elevators, merchandise docks and the shipyards on the Superior side. Water commu- nication with all this is cut off.
 The steamer was badly damaged, her bow being stove in.
 It is ascertained that the bridge cannot be put in commission again this season, although the span now blocking the movement of many steamers will be removed, probably by Monday.

Conference With Fitzpatrick.

New Haven. Aug 1.-The meet ing of the striking switchmen here to-day with Val Fitzpatrick. the sec ond grand master of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. is expected to have an important bearing on the strike which went into effect Tues day and which has been the means of causing severe congestion of freight in the yards of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Go since that day. Mir Fitzpatrick came here late last night and left his hotel early to-day to consult with the committee of strikers. It was hint ed that he would advise the men to apply for their old positions in view of the fact that the strike was un- authorized by the brotherhood. Mir Fitzpatrick came here with James Murdock. the fourth vice-grand mas ter of the brotherhood, who will also advise the strikers at the meeting to- day.
 More strike breakers arrived in town to-day. 1t is said, and from now on the road probably will have much less difficulty in moving its freight. It has been definitely stated by the railroad company that 1t will not dis charge any of the men taken on since the strike went into effect, which will mean the displacement of many of the old men. about sixty in all. 1t is When the time to sur render comes 1t is thought that the railroad will take back its old em- ployes until the former number is se- cured. In all about 250 men are out.

WHITE SHIRTS ARE BARRED

Milwaukee. Aug 11.-Some time Sunday morning a dozen travel worn tramps are due to arrive in Milwau- kee. Although they profess to be real. simon-pure tramps. they are not of the disreputable and destitute va riety that need cause good house. wives any alarm; they are a party of representative Chicago ministers and business men who are on a vacation trip and woh are spending their time in this manner, singing songs and holding special gospel services all along the right of way.
 They have lived day and night in the open and have passed resolutions to fine anybody in the party that dares wear a white shirt or appear in any other than tramp toggery un- til the trip is ended.
 Among the members are Dr Will liam E. Chalmers. pastor of the Nor gan Park Baptist church, Chicago: Clyde J. Newman. formerly cartoon ist on the Chicago Record-H Herald, and Louis A. Crittenden. superinten- dent of the Tabernacle Baptist Sun day school.

HUMANE MAN INTERFERED. Didn't Like Manner h Which Ice Corporation Driver Treated
 Horse. CALLED ON A POLICEMAN.

Over a hundred persons collected at the driveway on Grand street be- tween the Atkins blocks this after noon and watched with considerable interest the efforts of two men to get horse attached to an ice cart to back clear. down to the refrigerator in the rear of Joslin & Aliens store. The same scene might be witnessed there almost every day in the week, but the presence of Detective Ken- naugh and Officer Bergin among the spectators this afternoon aroused some suspicion and probably that had something to do in bringing so many to halt at that point. The driver punched the horse until some sturdy fellow from Middlebury got mad and after stroklng his vermill,on whis- kers he accosted the driver and re- quested him not to abuse the animal. This made the driver mad and he promptly reminded the farmer to mind his own business. The drivers helper also advised the gentleman from the rural district to look out for himself. But the tiller of the soil was no coward and talked back to the city chaps.
 When the two limbs of the law moved towards the driver the whole bunch went after them. all thinking that they were going to see rough and tumble match in the muddy al- leyway. In this they were mistaken for the men in charge of the team showed no disposition to Sass" the officers and the whole thing passed off without a hand being raised. It is bad spot and nobody could tell whether to blame the driver or not. That driveway should be paved and kept clean If teams are expected to back into 1t. It was said that until recently the ice was carried in from the street and there was no confus- ion there. But the icemen are not the only fellows who fall out with their horses at that place. The other day some old man with a small wagon on a big horse got in there or tried to and before he came out he came near kicking the animal to death. The drive should be fixed and if this is not done a bar should be put up there so that nobody can get in there with a team.

WILL N0T BE ASKED
 ID DEPOSIT FUNDS Foreign Countries Can Still Do Basi- ness ln England Under the
 Old Conditions. FINDINGS OF COMMITTEE. Appointed by the House of Lords Was Made Public This
 Morning.

London, Aug 1T-"In view of the evidence they have heard, the com- mittee do not consider that in the case of the British policyholders it is desirable to compel foreign compa- nies to deposit funds in this country"
 Thus the select committee of the house of lords appointed to inquire Into and report on what steps should be taken by the deposit of funds or otherwise, to provide adequate secur- ity to the British policyholders in life insurance companies which have their chief offices outside of the United Kingdom. but which carry on business In this country sums LID it's findings. The committee found an almost unan- imous opinion among the leading British actuaries and life insurance companies to deposit funds for the managers against compelling foreign security of British policyholders, their reasons being that 1t would be contrary to the principles in regard to Insurance companies which had hitherto prevailed in Great Britain, that It would violate the principle that the whole of the funds of an in- surance company should be available for the claims of all pollcyholders alike. that 1t might lead to reprisals on the part of the foreign govern ments that 1t might lead the pub lie to believe that the solvency of the companies making the deposits was guaranteed by the government that such deposits might seem to imply a statuary basis for valuation, the ten dency of which might weaken rather than strengthen the reserves. and that such deposit of securities will appear to give an advantage to Brit ish subjects holding policies fin for eign company, while under such limited state of supervision 1t was doubtful whether the policyholders would be as well protected as they are by control through publicity and the freedom which exists in regard to British companies. This evidence according to the report, induced the committee to recommend thnt any obligations be placed on foreign com panies.
 The report adds that although the committee cannot recommend that any obligations be placed on foreign com panies to which British companies are not liable, In its opinion foreign com pies should be placed so far as pos sible in the same position as British companies. They should in fact be made so far as possible to comply with the requirements of the life in- surance companies act of 1870, which insures n full measure of freedom to all companies.

POLICE MUST BE GOOD.
Boston Police Commissioner Has Is-
 sued an Order to His Men.

Boston, Aug 11.-Boston police men must not indulge in personal abuse. no matter what the provoca- tion. This is the substance of the latest order of Police Commissioner stephen 0'Meara. The matter was brought up by the action of the po- Ice trial board in exonerating a pa- trolman who had been charged with using threatening language to a woman. The commissioner upholds the action of the trial board, but says:
 The commissioner considers the finding a proper one so far as proof and the record in the case are con- cerned, but he is convinced that the whole affair was one of those half personal and altogether petty squab- bles Into which discreet policeman ought not to be drawn. It is no part of a policeman's qualifications to be able to give as good as he gets in a contest of abusive language. Members of the department must keep their personal feelings for their personal affairs. When representing law and preserving order they de- grade themselves and their cause by entering contest Of slang or abuse"

Sultan Unable to Attend.

Constantinople, Aug 1.-The suI- tan, who has been i'll for three weeks. was unable to attend the selamIif yesterday morning. This circum- stances is unprecedented. the snits,, never having failed to perform IF Friday prayers during the th,rfv years of his reign. Up to the lastl moment he hoped that his condition would allow him to proceed to fhe1 mosque and the guard was on its way to the palace when 1t was order cd to return to it's barracks Tt is believed that the inability of the sui. tan to attend the Selamlik was due to the extreme painfulness of fhe trouble from which he is sufYerinr and not to the fact that his conditioS IS grave. Professor Bergmann, tho famous German surgeon, has be1n summoned to attend his majesty snS has presumed that slight operatlcr is necessary.

ON LAKE oU1Ns1GAMoND.
Final Events of National Association
 Regatta Pulled Of To-day.

Worcester, Mass, Aug 11.-It was championship day at Lake Quinsiga- mond to-day for the survivors in yes terday's elimination trials and others eligible for the final events of the thirty-fourth annual regatta of the national association of amateur oars- men.
 The boat club housese were early astir with the aspirants for rowing honors. Shells were hauled out and examined. oars rubbed down. row. locks greased, while quite a number of the oarsmen took morning plunge in the cool waters of the lake.
 But what was uppermost in the minds of nearly everyone was the probable outcome of the champion ship singles. As usual this event, which was scheduled for 4:40 o'clock this afternoon, had been looked for ward to with great interest, al- though there was considerable dis appointment over the refusal of the executive committee to accept the en- try of last years champion. Frank B. Greer of Boston. Greer rowed last year as representative of the East Boston Rowing association, but not quite three months ago he, joined the Boston Athletic association. The rules of the national association provide that entrants for the national regatta must have been members of their re- spective clubs for more than three months.
 There were left in the champion ship event. however, Fred Shepherd of the Seawanhaka Boat club of Brooklyn and c. S. Titus of the Non- pareil Rowing club of New York. while the winner of the finals in the association singles to-day has the right also to compete for the cham pionship.
 The fight for this place in the championship event was narrowed yesterday to Harry s. Bennett of the Springfield Boat club. Frank Vesely of the First Bohemian Boat club of New York, E. McGee of the Toronto Rowing club, and John o'Neill of the St Mary's club of Halifax. These four oarsmen were scheduled to meet at 3:20 o'clock.
 The survivors for the finals in the senior four cared shells. the Ravens wood Boat club of Long Island City; the Portland Rowing club of Port land. Ore. the Mound City Rowing club of St Louis and the Winnipeg Boat club of Winnipeg, Man, were on the program for 4 o'clock. while twenty minutes later will come the finals in the intermediate fours.
 The races for the international fours. the seniors double sculls and the senior eight-oared shells are the other leading events.

BULLETS WH|ZlED
 ABOUT HIS HEAD Gdnd Duke Nicholas was Putting Soldiers Through MansuYer
 When They Fired. SOME HAD BALL CARTRIDGES A Rigid Investigation of the Affair Is Now Being Made By
 the Authorities.

St Petersburg, Aug 11.--Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch, presi- dent of the council of national de fence. narrowly escaped assassination yesterday afternoon, at the hands of the imperial guards in the guard camp at Krasmoye-Selo.
 Thus far the Associated Press has been able to obtain only meager de- tails of the affair, from which it ap- pears that the grand duke was per sonally reviewing, maneuvering and putting the troops through blank fir ing practice when he suddenly was startled by the wasp-like hiss of bull lets about his head. Fortunately neither himself nor his horse was touched. The command to cease fir ing was immediately given and the soldiers of the regiment from which the bullets came were marched back to their quarters and an investigation was begun in the hope of ascertain ing from the barrels of the rifles which of the soldiers fired ball car tridges. Several arrests are under stood to have been made.
 One of the grand dukes aides de camp. who, however, was moi per sonally present advanced to the As sociated Press the theory that possi- bly the bullets were fired by accident but he considered that beyond q doubt there was. deliberate plot on the part of number of disloyal guardsmen, who deliberately planned to take the grand dukes life under cover of the general blank cartridge firing. The aide de camp added:
 Tt was no more an accident than was the firing of the famous charge of the grape from the saluting bat tery at the Winter palace on the oc- casion of the ceremony of blessing the waters of the Neva by the em- peror a year and half ago"
 The bold attempt on the grand dukes life caused an immediate change in the plans of the emperor, who had arranged to go to Kras- move. Selo today and spend a week with the soldiers of his imperial guards. .EG

AIRSHIP IN THUNDER STORM. Leo Stevens Tries New Flying Ma.
 chine Under Disadvantages.

Franklin, Pa, Aug 11.-Attempt- ing flight in the face of thunder storm yesterday afternoon, Leo Stew ems. the airship inventor, and Major Charles S. Miller of Franklin had an exciting experience with the airship, which Stevens recently built for Ma- jor Miller. It is the largest airship ever constructed In America. and Stevens had hoped to surpass the rec ord for speed in this country by mak- ing fifteen miles an hour. The wind was blowing ten miles an hour when the start was made, and rain was falling.
 The got away from the ground without the customary bucking. and started toward the city in the direc- tion of Major Miller's home. They went against the wind for only a short distance, for in the upper cur rents It was blowing from fifteen to twenty miles an hour. Stevens guid- ed the airship in complete circle and in so doing descended consider ably and rammed the top of tall tree, damaging his propeller.
 Then they rose to height of about 1000 feet and were making good time away from the wind. when the gasolene engine, which had not been thoroughly tested. broke down. Stew ems almost ran over the light wood frame to the engine and attempted to crank it up, but 1t refused to run. They drifted with the wind for some distance and then made a graceful descent. nevertheless. The airship was brought back to the aerodrome by men and boys.
 Dr Julian P. Thomas of New York. a balloon enthusiast. declared the flight was the most successful he had ever seen.
