NEW YORK, March l9.- The German
Mass Meeting yesterday evening, At
Cooper Institute, to protest against
proposal in the Board of Education, to
expunge the instruction of German from
the public schools, was, in point of mum
berS, a success.
The action of the trustees of the Ro
man Catholic schools, in asking for a
share Of the benefits of public schools,
was received with great surprise by
many members of the Board of Educa-
ton Vicar General Quinn states that
under the administration of the late
Mayor Havemeyer, not dollar could be
obtained for their support, and the trus-
tees dcspaired of obtaining any assistance
from the present corporation. A COM
mittee of the Board of Education is soon
to confer with trustees of the Cath
olc Schools. The present
school law provides that no school shall
be entitled to or receive any portion Of
the school moneys, in which religious
doctrines or tenets of any particular
Christian or other religious sect shall be
taught.

bank statement of Saturday Is expected
to show continued locking up of gold

cial, it is not likely to accomplish the OBJ
iect sought to be obtained. The tactics
of the gold clique, if continued much
longer. will result in increasing largely
the supply Of gold. At this point, the
banks are likely to gain gold in
the future, and the gold clique may learn
to their sorrow, that the time for tire gold
famine in thi. country i not near at
hand.
