The corner stone of block of new build
ings for the enlargement of the British Mu
scum has just been laid by the principal
librarian, Mr.. Bond, the fund for them hav-
ing been bequesthed, In reversion by Mr..
William White, who died In 1923. The be-
quest fell in early in the year 1879. It
amounted to 963, ,941, or 957,572 after the
payment Of the legacy duty. About ell, 900
of this sum has already been expended in
the erection Of new gallery for Greek
sculptures between the Elgin and Assyriah
galleries. Mr.. Whites terms, in making the
bequest, were these: "The money and prop
erty so bequeathed to the British Museum
wish to be employed in building or improv-
ing upon the said institution, and that round

THE STAR ROUTE JURY.
A Talk with the Attorney General.

A Talk with the Attorney General.
PHILADELPHIA, October 16.-Attorney
General Brewster, upon being spoken to
this evening in reference to the afidavits
published this morning, charging that men
in the employ of the government had at
tempted to bribe some of the jury in the re-
cent star route trial, said: 81 don't think
1t becoming to carry the case
OF the government against the
criminals into the newspapers in
advance of the trial. The matter is in good
hands. There is no fund from which any
money could be drawn for the corruption of
the jurymen on behalf of the government,
and there was absolutely no interest that
the Attorney General of the United
States could have in attempting it,
even If anybody could think
me capable of It. The whole fabrication
bears upon its face the fraud that has been
practiced. My only connection with and
interest In the star route case was the full
fillment of public duty, and that aim en-
deavored honestly to carry out. The events
that will take place hereafter will explain
all that has taken place"

The compulsory education act in France
was to go into operation on the I'd inst, and
the Paris correspondent of the London
Times notes curious complication in con-
nection with 1t. Under the act parents are
required to notify the authorities whether
they elect home education or the schools
for their children, and, If the latter, what
schools; and the notification must be made
at least fortnight before the beginning of
the term. The Mayoral summons, however,
was scarcely in any case issued In sufficient
time for that purpose, and later date was
consequently fixed. The clericals contend
that this is clearly Illegal, and that the dec
laration for this year has completely lapsed.
The UHiveTs, the clerical organ, advocates
Incorporating resistance to the law, and
argues also that the fortnight's notice prior
to October 2 being now impossible the
Mayors cannot grant an extension Of time.
To add to the complication the government
itself does not seem to be unanimous in the
course it should pursue under the circum-
stances,

cHANDLER's SCHEME

An old naval officer to-day spoke as follows.
william e. Chandler, Secretary Of the Navy,
now has employed at the Portsmouth IN. H.
navy yard 1000 workmen. This number is
greater than employed in all the other wards
on the coast added together. There is no ne
cessity for these men at Portsmouth. There
are only few old huIks there, and the ward is
OF no great importance. 1t is true that Chand-
Ter is ordering vessels there to be repaired in
order to give semblance OF reason for the
employment OF so many men, Now, New
Hampshire is not doubtful State There is
no thought of danger to the Repub.
lican party there as there was in Maine when
Chandler ordered employed one thousand
men at the Kittery yard just before the cleo
ton. Chandler is going further than his pre-
decessors. They have stolen and prostituted
the navy for the advauo ement of the Republi-
can party in general. Chandler employs these
men at Portsmouth not to help the Republican
party, but to benefit Chandler in his scheme to
be returned to the Senate to succeed Rollins.
1t is piece of official trickery never. before
equaled 10 history" 1t will be observed from
this that Wiliamee is able to keep his end
no pretty well and has not lost his grip upon
manipulation. By the way, 1t looks as if

were so large that the dogs had regular battles
with them, and the rats would grab the dog

day. and when ended Mr.. Carlisle had an
empty flour barrel brought and had the dead
rats measured, as there were too many to

three barrels Of rats piled on as long as the
