pERrLs OF PACIFIC TRIP
Are But Few If Care Is Used, Says Ad-
miral Clark.

Montpelier, Sept. ll.-Rear Admiral
Charles E Clark. T. S. NJ, retired. Of
battleship Oregon fame than whom
there is no better posted man in all the
world upon the subject, has no appre-
tensions whatever Of the safety OF the
giant feet of war vessels which the
government proposes to send to the Pa
cilie coast.
Rear Admiral Clark has been spending
some time here. While be was averse
to speaking freely Of the plans Of the
war department, because he knows moth
ing of such from an authoritative source,
yet from what he has heard, he considers
there is but little danger connected with
the movement, provided ordinary care
is used in making certain positions Of
the long journey.
He believes there is a serious menace
10 the fleet should it be sent through the
straits Of Magellan in feet formation.
For 100 miles the shore is rocky and
precipitous, and the bottom affords prac-
tically no holding ground for anchors.
In case OF rough weather there would be
no way to hold but ono ship, aud TO
proceed through the torturous channel
would he very risky.

Recommendation Of Board Of Health
viii Be Carried Out on Camp st. School.

At the meeting of tile school COM
missionaYs held last evening a petition
previously presented to the board ask
ing that the Camp street school building
be connected with the public sewer
came up for consideration On motion
Of the petitioner the boaM OF healtn
was asked to visit the building aud
inspect the same. This board reported
"We found the building. school rooms,
and closets IN as good a condition as
could be expected for one not connected
with the public sewer. There IS only
cne suggestion that the board would
make, and that is concerning conditions
we found underneath the building. The
cellar IS very shallow without any ven.
tilation through the winter months. We
tunk it would be advisable to have a
vent pipe run up on the outside Of the
building from one Of the cellar windows.
With that change, think the building in
very good condition.
Tine board voted TO comply with the
recommendation Of the board Of health
and vent pi2e will be erected at once.

ness to Wilfore & Horn.

The GAINESVILLE, Ohio, News has the
following story Of an important change
in wholesale granite firm Of that city.
Mr.. Wilfore, one Of the new company,

"a business deal Of considerable im-
portanee was closed in GAINESVILLE during

marble business The purchasers are Ir-
wing Al. Wilfore and Jacob +. Horn. 1t

borhood Of $4,000.
"Mr. Wilfore, one Of the new owners
Of this business, has been with Mr.. Bald
win in the Wholesale granite business
here for the past four years in the ca.
pacity Of manager. He is a native Of

DISGRACE AND SHAME,
Says Sir Robert Bond Of New Modus
Vivendi.

st. Johns, n. f., Sept. lin a state
ment published in the form Of an inter
view here yesterday, Sir Robert Bond,
premier Of Newfoundland declared that
the modus yiyendi recently agreed upon
by the British and American govern
ments is "a disgrace to British diplo-
macy and a shameful sacrifice Of the
interests of the people OF the colony"
The new agreement, which is to be in
force for one year pending the settle
ment Of the whole fisheries question by
The Hague tribunal, is virtually identi-
cal with that Of last year, according to
the premier,
Sir Robert asserts that only his strong
protest during the London negotiations
after the conference of colonial pre-
miers in that city, prevented the British
cabinet from concluding an indefinitely
worse compact with America
