TROUBLE FOR THE TIGERS. There ts no Telling What is Ahead of Them. "While no statement has been given ont by the Mayor or the chief of po? lice regarding the resolution adopted by the* State board of dispensary con? trol and tine enforcement of the dis? pensary law in Charleston, it is said that a statement is being prepared to be submitted to the board at the meeting called for July 15. Both Mayor Smyth and Chief Boyle have been summoned to appear at that time to jshow cause why the dispensary profits accruing to the city should not be -withheld because of .the non-enforce? ment of the dispensary law. The May? or, it is said, will make a clear and explicit statement of conditions as they exist here at present There are many people who believe that another bombshell may be " exploded at this bearing and the final outcome is filled ?with misgivings for the blind tigers 'which are alleged to thrive in this city. As already printed in the Columbia correspondence of The News and Cou? rier, the State board has disclaimed any intention of bringing on a clash with Govenor McSweeney over the management of the constabulary in - Charleston, and the Governor has de? clared his willingness to cooperate ?with the board in having the law obey? ed here. The forces seem to be work? ing together and the finish seems dark . and gloomy for the tiger. The State board and the Governor are not pleas -ed with the bold front put up by the blind tigers. These wily dealers have taken courage as result of the grand jury's work, and where they stand little or no chance of being^ punished tiley have plain sailing for big profits. The raids which have been made have not been disastrous financially to the tigers, for the reason that only small amounts were carted away. The deal? ers pay no license and their only ex? pense is counted in the record of goods seized by the constables. This is a mere bagatelle, and now more serions and rigid measures are being planned to end unlawful traffic. One fact which it is claimed will" come out' of the developments of the next wie weeks is said tobe the friendly feeling which exists between *the raiders and the blind tigers. Only a few days ago the keeper of a well-regulated blind tiger was making)) violent complaints against the raiders j and he promised to make it warm for Jbds enemies. According to his state? smen t, his place had been raided as, often as five times a day. What hurt j bim most was the fact that the man in the same block who probbly sold a greater amount of liquor was not raid? ed at alL This called forth much talk, and it was a matter about which the tiger people talked freely. The in? jured dealer said that politics was be? hind it all. The point is argued that the law cannot be properly executed where too much "friendship" exists. Al? of this, however, grows out of the unpopularity of the dispensary system.^ - * Blind tiger people are divided in the opinion as to what will follow should the State board hold back the Charles? ton-profits from the dispensary sales. Some seem to think that it will ag? gravate the city to such an extent that the law will have to take care of .itself, while the majority is of the opinion that the city, will begin to make it so hot "for the dealers that they will have to go broke or quit the field. If the money which has heretofore gone to the city is expend? ed in hiring a constabulary for Charleston, life will be made a burden to the tigers if the constabulary does not become too "friendly." The general opinion in the city is that the State board has not admitted as much, but it has not denied the 'published statements to that effect In any event a statement by the 3aayor and the chief of police, sub? mitted in answer to the "rale" issued by the State board, ought to make interesting reading. Just what the nature of this statement will be there is not one who can say with authority. It is evident that the blind tiger element is worried. There is no tell? ing when the dealers will be hit hard and they are treading on the thin ice, "^waiting anxiously for a decision one way or another so they can see just bow matters stand.-News and Cou ser. Hie Columbia Policemen Are Hauled Over the Coals. Columbia, July 6.-There was an? other dispensary bomb" exploded here today. This time the bomb was thrown by Governor McSweeney. The load had an effect practically the same as that for Charletson. Governor McSweeney today said: ""Unless the police of Columbia show more activity against the ' tigers' and a disposition to enforce the law, which is being violated in this city, the profits which accrue to the city will be used to employ additional consta? bles, and what is left will be turned over to the county." Governor McSweeney lives in Co? lombia and has a squad of constables bere, and ought to know something of the local situation. It ought to be suggested that the great trobule here, as in Charleston, is not that more con? stables are needed, but that they do something more than drawtheir sala? ries, if the alleged "tigers" really ex? ist in either place. The likelihood is that nothing will "be done until the eventful hearing in Columbia before the State board on the 16th. There will be nothing done by Governor McSweeney until after tte 16th, and the chances are that the State board will also hear something more about the Columbia situation. . Z If all that is talked about comes out ait the hearing on the 16th there is "fikely to be some lively evidence. There were no dispensary cases tried bere at the recent term of the court. This afternoon's edition of the Rec? ord has this interesting paragraph in its account of the Charletson situa? tion : ""The whole matter will come up again at a meeting of the State board ?rf directors on the 16th instant. It is said that then some startling revela? tions will be made as to Charleston and the constabulary's dealings with blind tigers- It is intimted that the constables are openly paid by blind tigers and that proof will be pro? duced." Governor McSweeney said this after noon that he would regret very much to hare to deprive Charleston or Colum? bia of any portion of the dispensary profits, and did not want to do so, but if the conditions did not improve it would have to be done. This course, he said, had been agreed upon between himself and the State board, and would be pursued in Charleton, Columbia and other cities in which the local au? thorities were inactive. It is evident that the new system will be tried in Charleton this month, even before the 16th, and new and ad? ditional coDstables^will be put on in Charleston, and their pay and expenses will come out of the dispensary profits for Charleston; say about 81,500 a month.-News and Courier. Tigers and Constables. That there is trouble and plenty of it brewing for the tiger that is blind there can no longer be a doubt. If there had been - airy question about it he utterances of Governor McSweeney, which were reported " in the Colum? bia correspondence of The Sunday News yesterday, would, have been suffi? cient to set all uncertainty pt rest. As long as the talk of diverting city pro? fits to maintain a constabulary was directed at Charleston alone some per? sons were disposed to place compara? tively little faith in it, but now that the same threat has been made against Columbia, and by Governor Mcsween? ey himself, the conviction is gaining ground that there is going to be "something doing" sure enough. Just how soon the constables will put in an appearance no one may say. It was reported in Columbia that the au horities would not wait for the con? ference with Mayor Smyth and Chief Boyle on the 16th, but would send a new force here at once. Just who these constables will be and when they will be here is exercising the tigers greatly. It is not known whether they wiil be pnt under the charge of Chief Howie, who is now in com? mand here or whether they will operate upon their own hook and under a leader of their own. Chief Howie has proved himself a popular and efficient officer here. He has the confidence of persons who know him, and they declare he has used every means in his power to discharge thoroughly the onerous duties which have devolved upon him . He is regareded in a very different light from some of the other chief contables who in times past have had command in this section of the State. The assertion that charges would be made against a number of the consta? bles was read with much interest. That some of the men who have been sent here from time to time have grown.unduly "friendly" with certain tiger keepers" no one doubts. It has always been more or less of a mystery why some places were raided so much oftener than others. There have been instances where one tiger would be raided three or four times in a day or two, while his neighbor was not mo? lested for weeks at a time. This, of course, looked strange to men on the outside and some of them have often wondered whether or not the aforseaid "friendliness" had anything to do with it or not. Just how far the in? vestigation which is alleged to be a fact, -will go no one can tell. If it was directed at Charleston alone it mi?rht be considered undue discrimination and harshness, and would be unpopu? lar on that account, but if there is to be a general overhauling of the con? stabulary cf the State and their meth? ods no one will, of course, have any right to complain. If this is the pro? ject that is afoot it is probable that exciting times are ahead both for the tigers and the minions of the law with whom they have so much to do.-News and Courier. Daath of a Great Scientist. San Francisco, July 6.-Prof. Jo? seph Leconte, of the Univeristy of California, died today in the Yosemite Valley, where he had gone for a brief outing. Prof. Leconte was one of the oldest instructors in the University, and had a national reputation as an instructor in philosophy, history, and sciences. Prof. Leconte became connected with the State University in 1S69. He was born in Liberty Co.," Ga., in 1822. His elementary education was received in a neighborhood school and one of his teach?rs was Alexander H. Stephens: In 1841 he graduated from Franklin College, Georgia. H?~received a medical education at the College of Physcians and Surgeons, in New York, taking the degree of doctor of medcine in 1845. He practiced medcine at Macon, Ga., in 1850, and then went to Cam? bridge to study under Agassiz. In 1851 Prof Leconte went back to Georgia and was elected to the chair of natural sciences at Oglethorpe Uni ersity. He was employed by the Confederate Government as a chemist during the war, and in 1862 he came to California. Burning a Filipino Town. Leavenworth, Kan., July 7.-Details of the offence of Capt A. S. Rowan, the burning of a Filipino town, for which he is to undergo investigation, have been received here in a letter from Private John E. Watson, 19th in? fantry, dated Jaqua, Bohul Island, May 19. The letter says: ' * A native spy came into the post and walked over to Capt Rowan's tent and looked in and found it empty. But when he started to go away he saw Corpl Daly standing a few yards a pay. The spy took Corpl Daly for the captain and, walking up to him, gave the corporal a folded note. As Daly took the note to read the spy drew out a dagger and stabbed him to death. "The insurgents had planned to rush in and cut the rest of us down during the confusion that would follow the captain's death, but we coolly fell in under arms and formed a skirmish line around the post. The insurgents thought they had got Capt. Rowan, so when the skirmish line advanced they met about 100 men in the bush. About 50 of the enemy were killed and about a dozen were taken prisoners, who were killed while trying to escape. "The men caught the spy who mur? dered Daly. They would have tortured him to death, but some men with cooler heads than the others shot the wretch in the head. The town was burned and a few Filipinos killed." PIERRE LORILLARP BEAD. He Leaves a Large Fortune Made in Tobacco. New York, July 7.-Pierre Lorillard died at 2:10 o'clock this afternoon. The death of Mr. Lorillard took place at the Fifth Avenue hotel where he was taken from the Deutschland when that steamer arrived from Europe July 4. The members of the family present at the bedside when the end came were Mr. Lorillard's daughters, Mrs. T. Suffern Taylor and Mrs Wm. Kent, and their husbands, and Pierre Loril? lard, Jr., and his wife, and also Pierre Lorillard third. Pierre Lorillard was the eldest son of Peter Lorillard, architect of the fortune which made the family name famous. He inherited much of the business ability of his father and marked success attended the commer? cial enterprises which he planned and executed. At the death of his father he received a share with his brothers and sisters in the great tobacco house of which his father had been the head. He at once purchased from his broth? ers a control of the house and by shrewd business management greatly increased his fortune. He built a handsome residence on Fith avenue Fifth-sixth street and entertained in princely manner. In 1874 he became interested in the turf. His first great horse was Parole, and with Iroquois in 1881 he was the first American to win the classic English Derby. He was also an enthusiastic yachtsman and once raced his Vesta across the Atlantic He founded and controlled at the time of his death the fashiona? ble resort at Tuxedo. He was nearly 68 years old. He is survrived by his wife, son, Pierre Lorillard, Jr., and daughters, Mrs. T. Suffern Taylor and Mrs. William Kent. He leaves a large fortune. Various estimates have been made of the value of Mr. Lorillard's estate, and while its exact vaule at the present time is not known, it is believed to be 1 more than 825,000,000. As long ago as 1884 it was said to be from 815,0000,00 to $20,000,00. Gomez For Annexation. New York, July 6.-W. E. D. Stokes gave a dinner at the Union League Club this evening to Gen. Maximo Go? mez and Gen. T. Estrada Palma. Mr. Stokes was formerely a member of the Cuban League of America and was closely identified with the wort of the Junta, of which Gen. Palma as the head. The dinner as arraged on the spur of the moment, Gen. Gomez intending to return to Cuba today and not deciding to remain over until the morning, when he accepted Mr. Stokes's invita? tion, and the guests were summoend by telegraph. The Cuban general was the hero of the occasion and was warmly received. He made a brief speceh, which was interpreted by Gen Gonzales. Gen. Gomez said he was almost touched to tears by the remarkable re? ception he had receded in the United States, but he never knew until he came here how deep that debt was that it was not merely the obligation of one people to another, but of broth? er to brother. Every Cuban born and bred, he said, lived and died with the idea of Cuba libre before him, with the hope of the people being free and relieved of the yoke of oppression. Cuba and the United States, said the General, belonged together. It is only a quesiton of gravitation when they will be one. But .at present, after the great struggle, in which hundreds of thousands of lives were sacrificed, and when men returned to their homes only to find their wives and children starved to death in the restricted bar? riers in which Wey 1er held them under his policy of reconcentration, they felt that they must have Cuba libre. It is realized fully, he said, that Cuba can? not get alons- without the United States, but the Cubans do want to feel freedom. Gen Gomez referred to Gen. Palma as the hold-over President of Cuxm, having been elected during the insur rectionfof 1868, and he pointed to his fellow Cuban as the first President of Cuba libre. Gen Pirna made a feeling reply, warming to the subject of Cuba libre, and speaking enthusiastically of the future of the Pearl of the Antilles. After dinner Gen. Gomez said to the newspaper men that he wished to ex? press his gratitude to the press of the , United States and of the world for the great good they had done to the cause of Cuba libre. He said that when he came here years ago he was very sad, but that on this visit he was very hap? py and was glad to recognize how much the American people had done for the Cubans. He had felt a bond of sympathy with the American nation when he first mingled with his people, but he now felt much more strongly the reality of that bond. He was sure that the Cuban s would now establish their own government and would show how much they feel gratitude for the successful help of the Amercans in removing the Spanish yoke. "Is there any feeling of apprehen? sion in Cuba with regard to the inten j tions of the Uniited States?" he was asked. "No, there is no question about it," he replied, ' ? Cuba trusts implicitly in the honor of the American people." ? ' What can you say as to the future policy of Cuba?" "That cannot be answered." replied Gen Gomez, "because no one can for see the future, but I belielve that the attitude of Cuba will be one of grati? tude in accordance with the obliga? tions of Cuba to the United States." "Whom do you think will be the President of the Cuban Republic?" "I don't know, but I hope that it will be Gen Palma." "No, no," said Gen Palma, "that is for the Cuban people to say." "Well, there are three candidates," said Gen Gomez, "or rather three persons named, myself. Gen Bartolome Masso and Gen Palma, I will not accept under any circumstances. Gen Palma was elected during the Ten Years' war and I hope that he will be elected again.*' gJLondon, July 8.-The financial sec- ! retary of the war office, Lord Stanley, in the house of commons today in an answer to a question, gave the total number of Boers killed, wounded or made prisoners, from the active com? mands recently as follows: March, 1,472: April, 2,434; May, 2,640; June, incomplete, 1,538. I NEW LAND IN OKLAHONA. - j President McKinley Issues Proc? lamation Opening Country For Settlement. Washington, July 7.-The proclama? tion of the President opening to settle? ment the lands ceded by Indians in the territory of Oklahoma was given to the public today. The proclamation covers the cession made by the Wichita and affiliated bands of Indians in ac? cordance with the act of March 2, 1895, and those made by the Co? manche, Kiowa and Apache tribes in pursuance of the act of June 6, 1900. The proclmation provides for the open? ing of the lands in those reservations which are not reserved, at 9 o'clock a. m., on tha sixth of August next, the lands to be open for settlement under the homstead and town laws of the United States. The proclamation says that begin? ning on the 10th instant and ending on the 26th, those who wish to make entry of land, under the home? stead law shall be registered, at the land officers at Lawton and Reno. To obtain registration each applicant will be required to show himself qualified to make homestead entry of those lands under existing laws and give the registration officer such appropriate matters of description and the govern? ment. Registration cannot be effected through the use of the mails or the employment of an agent, excepting that honorably discharged soldiers and sailors may present their appli? cations through an agent, no agent be? ing allowed to represent more than one soldier. No person will be allowed to register more than once. After being registered applicants will bi given cer? tificates, allowing them to go upon the lands and examine them in order to assist them iin making an intelligent selection. J It is explicitly stated that "No one will be premitted to make settlement upon any of the lands in advance of the opening provided for," and the statement is added that "Dur? ing the first 60 days following said opening no one registered applicant will be permittd to make homestead settleemnt upon any of said lands, and then only in pursuance of a homested entry, duly allowed by the local land officers, or of a soldiers declaratory settlement, duly accepted by such offi? cers. A plan of drawing or lottery is then provided for in place of the old plan of a grand rush to make selections. TO ARBITRATE LABOR TROUBLES. Steel Company's Officers Will Meet Union Officials. Pittsburg July S.-"That which I believe will prove the most important conference in the history of capital and labor will open in Hotel Lincoln, Pittsburg, next Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, when the highest offi? cials, of the Amalgamated Association, gatherdd from all' parts of the coun? try, will meet with high officials in the iron andjjsteel industries to settle grave questions. "Every vice president of the Amal? gamated association from Alabama noSfe is hurrying toward Pittsburg ?omght on my telegraphic orders. I ha?? considered it best that they be caned to confer at this time instead of the regular conferees who have usually met with us to adjust differences. "As yet I am in ignorance as to who will constitute the committee repre? senting the -steel company. I have been informed that President Charles M. Schwab of the United States Steel corporation will be present in person, but do not know this to be a fact. The laboring man is at present confronted with some peculiar conditions which I hope will be adjusted at the coming conference. "I believe the strike will be speedi Iv settled. ""{Signed) Theodore J. Schaeffer." The above is the statement made by President Schaeffer of the Amalgamat? ed association late this evening as he emerged from the Carnegie building with a party of Amalgamated associa? tion officers and officers of the Ameri? can Sheet Steel Company. It was at the close of one of the most eventful days in the history of organized labor and was made so by the decided stand taken by President Schaeffer in the Wellsville case, he insisting on rein? statement of union men discharged there as preliminary to a conference. The conference today lasted for al? most two hours, but what was said or done was not given out save through the above statement made by Presi dent Schaeffer. It was evidently decid? ed that the best interests of both sides demanded that the wage confer? ence be held at as early a date as pos? sible in spite of the trouble at Wells? ville. It is understood that on hear? ing the statement of Vice President Chappell regarding the Ohio situation assurance was given that it could easily be adjusted and would be. This being the case, the conference was quickly arranged. Undert he present arrangement the Wellsville men will remian at work pending a settlement or disagreement on Thursday. None of the combine representatives who could be seen would talk of the strike troubles. Judge Nevill, of Louisiana, has add? ed a section to the oath required of grand jurors serving in his court. He requiresjthem to swear that they are not in favor of lynch law and that they will return an indictment against any person charged with lynching if the evidence against him ,is sufficiently strong.

Stokes makes necessary a campaign this sn m mer after all, though it will have to be confined to one congres? sional district only. His successor must be elected by primary and gen? eral election and be in a position to qualify and take his set in congress by December. This leaves but little time for the conduct of the elections, inasmuch as there will have to be meetings of the State and county Democratic executive committees, un? less a primary is done away with, and there seems to be absolutely no chance of that inasmuch as ' there will very probably be a large number of can? didates. There is already considerable specu? lation being indulged in about this race in political circles. It is stated that Mr. Thomas F. Brantley of Or? angeburg, who opposed Dr. Stokes in 189& will be a candidate, and he is considered the strongest man mention? ed so far. The name of Mr. Thomas Raysor of Orangeburg is also mention? ed, but his friends say that he does not care tojenter the race. Judge Buchanan, it seems, will certainly be in the race. He is from Sumter as are Senator R. L Manning, Hon. Alta? mont Moses and Col. J. Harvey Wil? son, all of whom are mentioned in connection with the unexpired term. Mr. C. M. Efird of Lexington, the present reporter of the State supreme court, a former member of the senate anp of the constitutionl convention, ana Senator Sharpe of the same coun? ty, it is said, will be canddidates. These are the only men mentioned thus far but there may be others. If Mr. Raysor does not run, that will leave the largest county in the district with only one man in the field, while the other large counties will have one or more. In this connection it is interesting to take a glance at the primray vote in this district as polled in the last pri? mary election. The vote in this dis? trict is one of the largest in the State. It amounts to no less than 13,144 and is divided among the counties as fol? lows: Berkelev, - 1,126 Colleton, \ 1,837 Dorchester, 1,159 Lexington, 2,982 Orangeburg, 3,431 Richland, 158 Sumter, 2,351. These figures will afford an inter? esting study to those who are concern? ed in the outcome of this race. The State executive committee will doubtless be called to meet very soon and set a date for the primary! after which the governor will proceed to or? der the general special election for the purpose of filling the unexpirted term of the deceased congressman. Per? haps a series of campaign meetings in the districts. will be arranged for by the State committee when it meets. 'Some think that it will be unneces? sary to hold a primary if only two can? didates are in the race, but the general opinion in politicl circles is that a primarv will be held, bevond all ques? tion.-The State, Julv 9." Two Ghost Stories. In his "Story of My Life" Augus? tus Hare tells a number of ghost stor? ies, from which are the following : In November, 1873, Mr. Herman Merivale reiterated the following story: "A captain was crossing to America in his ship with very few sailors on board. One day one bf them came up to him on the deck and said that there was a strange man in his cabin : that he could see the man's face, but that he was sitting with his back to the door at the table writing. The captain said it was impossible there could be any one in his cabin and desired the sailor to go and look again. When he came up, he said the man was gone, but on the table was the paper on which he had written, with the ink still wet, the words, "Steer due south." The captain said that as he was not pressed for time he would act on the mysterious warn- j ing. He steered due south and met with a ship which had been long dis? abled and whose crew was in the last extremity. The captain of the dis? abled ship said that one of his men was a very strange character. He had himself picked him up from a de? serted ship, and since then he had fallen into a cataleptic trance in which, when he recovered, he declared that he had been in another ship, begging its captain to come to their assistance. When the man who bad been sent to the cabin saw the cateleptic sailor, he recognized him at once as the man he had seen writing. ' ' In January, 1874, Mr. Hai re met Col. Henderson of the police force at a dinner. Col. Henderson said that his father had been executor to old Lord Birdport, who had a box which no one was ever allowed to open and of the contentts of which even Lady Birdport was ignorant. After Lord Birdport's death the window sent Col. Henderson to look into things and then said: " Iwish you would open that box. One ought to know it " Col. Henderson did not like doing it, but, took the box into the library and sat down before it with candles by his side. Immediately he heard a movement on the other side of the table and looking up, saw, old Lord Birdport as clearly as he had ever seen him in his life, scowling down upon him with a furious expression. He went back at once to Lady Bird port and positively refused to open the box, which was then destroyed un? opened. Col. Hendlerson said, "I shall never to my dying day forget the face of Lord Birdport as I saw him after he was dead." Nlrb TSTas Her Terror.

The New Boat Proves Her Su? periority to the Other Two. Newport, E. L. July 8.-If the vic? tory of the Constitution over the Co? lumbia and the Independence in the first of the three-cornered race ou Satnrday was significant and definite, her winning today may well be charac? terized as overwhelming and the de? feat of the Independence as positive and almost hopeless. The approach of evening again found the committee boat anchored far out in Narragansett Bay along with the cat boat which marked the other end of the finish line, waiting for the Boston boat to cross while her rivals were well up to the harbor on their way to their moorings. The new Herreshoff boat had beaten the Columbia by nearly half an hour over the 30-mile course, while the rec? ord against the Inpendence was almost a full hour. She came near traveling around the triangle while the Crown ingshield creation was covering twp lengths of it. Today's race establishes the new Bristol sloop as a record breaker in light airs. She has accom? plished what yatchsmen considered impossible in thus beating the Comm bia, while her performance has put the Independence entirely out of the running in conditions like those of today. What her showing may be in heavy weather is still a matter of con? jecture. PLENTYOF PHOTOS. ' ' Would you be kind enough to re? turn my photograph?" she wrote. "L gave it to you in a moment of girlish folly, and I have since had occasion to regret that I was so thoughtless in; such matters." Of course she pictured, that photograph framed and hung up in his room, and was inclined to think that he would part with it with deep regret. Just why she wanted if return? ed is immaterial. Of course, he had offended her im some way, but it is unnecessary to inquire how. The. reply to her note* came the following day. '*I regret," it read,* 'that I am una? ble at this late day to pick out your photograph. However, I send you my" entire collection, numbering over 600,. and would request that you return all except your own by express messenger at my expense."-Tit-Bits. Purity of Dairy Products. Washington, July 7.-The Agricul? tural Appropriation Act for the cur? rent fiscal year authorizes the Secre? tary of. Agriculture, in his discretion, to apply the law for- the inspection and* branding of live cattle and products^ to dairy products intended for export? ation, the purpose being to enable our* exporters of dairy products to give foreign buyers the assurance of cer? tification by the Government of the United States of the purity, quality and grade of our dairy exports. . Sec? retary Wilson has decided to exercise the authority conferred on him by establishing, in the customs districts: of Boston, New York, Chicago and San Francisco a system of inspection of dairy products, but first will have experts in these districts gather all possible data in order that efficient regulations may be drafted for the con? duct of this new service. A beginning- - will be made in a tentative way, with the purpose of bringing about a prac? tical and an honest system by which all parties may be properly protected. It is stated at the department to be "probable that at an early date the owners or shippers of products for ex? ports may upon application have the same marked and. certified as to pur? ity and quality, provided they are above a minimum grade, vet to be fixed.
