A Panic in a school-Room.

New YORK, Jan. 24-The coping and top of
the rear wall of the Hebrew free school ON East
Broadway fell to-day on the roof of the exten-
sion two stories below, in which there were
fifty pupils ranging from three to seven years
1t crushed through the skylight into the class
room, throwing the pupils into wild fright and
injuring several slightly. The screams aroused
the neighbors and frantic mothers rushed in,
clamoring for their children. The teachers did
their best to stay the panic, but yielded before
the rush of mothers, each of whom seized her
child and carried it away For time great
citement prevailed. One teacher was hurt on
the head and five or six children cut and bruised
but none seriously

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Reports of the Committees the Question
of Its Abrogation.

hepOrtS OI Une OOmDhiCIeeS on Une question
of Its Abrogation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The reports of the
majority and ninorit of the Senate committee
on foreign relations on the joint resolution to
give notice to the Hawaiian government to ter
inmate the reciprocity treaty convention, were
submitted to the Senate to-day. Senator Nor
gan makes the report in behalf of the majority
adversely to the resolution. The report says the
committee has failed to discover that the com
rnerce or revenues of the United States have not
been adequately compensated by the advantages
of trade with the Sandwich Islands Every new
route of transportation leading from the Pacific
ocean to Europe will, he thinks put in jeopardy
the trade of the United States with the Hawai-
ian Islands unless the present treaty
agreements are continued or made per-
manent. 1t expresses the opinion that
other nations will seize the advantages
this country would relinquish by the abrogation
of the treaty. Australia and the Dominion of
Canada, it thinks, will be willing to make the
most favorable terms with the Hawaiian Islands
for the trade of the Islands. and the opening of
canal across the sthmus of Darien would cause
the Hawaiian trade to seek better markets in
Europe than this country offers.
Abiding to the loss of revenue to the United
States by the operation of the treaty the com
mittee says; "The balance against this country

Banking Bills-Other Committees.
WASHINGTON, Jan 24.-The Senate finance
committee had several meetings to-day to CON
slider banking bills. This morning Senator
Shermans bill was taken up and a substitute
offered by Senator Aldrich, authorizing the
issue of currency equal to the amount of the par
value of all bonds, except per cents, deposited
as security for circulation Upon 4 per cents
banks are to receive at the rate of $40 in cur
rency for $1OO bonds, the arrangement to con
tinue until January l, 1890, and thereafter the
amount is to decrease one dollar each year until
it has reached the par value of the bonds. Some
question having arisen in regard to the effect of
the two measures it was determined to ask the
opinion of Comptroller Knox. Mr.. Knox went
before the committee this afternoon
and expressed the opinion that
it was little difficult to choose
between the measures as to their ultimate effect
He expressed a qualified preference for the sub
stitute as being more easily understood than the
original bill Upon the conclusion of Mr.. KnOxs
remarks the question of the substitution was de-
cided affrmatvely-5 to 3. Senator McPher-

Aldrich's proposition. 1t provides for the issue

Like the cartman who could not do JUS
tlce TO his subject when he found that MS
load had all spilled out, the Free-Trader
who reads the following article from the
Petersburg Mail will probably be unable
to utter a word. To talk OF protecting
"monopolists." capitalists" y" brigands'"
" bloated manufacturers, NC. &c, by I'M
posing a tariff upon goods imported from
foreign countries Is bad enough; but
TO propose to levy taxes upon SMITH Tor
the benefit OF JOKES. or, what Free-Traders
say Is the same thing, to propose to relieve
JONES from taxation and add that much 10
swrru's tax-bill, must be well calculated to
paralyzc the tongue OF the Free-Trader
aforesaid. The Mail mentions our name !;
but Il can't find word In our files to JUS
tify it In connecting us with the sort OF
protection" proposed by that journal.
All the same we return thanks to the MAJ

EXEMPTION OF MANUFACTURERS PLANT.
We grieve TO think that we have a hobby,
and vet VIC are afraid that our distinguish
ed friends OF the Dispatch will credit us
with bestrtding one when we ask the
attention OF our legislators to the question
Of exempting manufacturers plant from
taxation. IL may be very true that ne VINO
expects TO secure large profits from IA man
ufacturing enterprise, and who intends 10
embark therein, will not be turned from
his purpose II he cannot have his plant
eyempted ff ON taxation. But in all kinds
OF business, however great may be the
magnitude thereof. the slightest induce
ments are accounted 10 be OF some value,
and hence il is that we make bold to ask
the legislators TO decide upon this mooted
point. Has municipality no constitu-
tional right TO exempt from taxation! II
there he a constitutional prohibition could
il not be remedied by legislation and the
wished-for boom secured2 And II, as 1t is
believed, such exemption would DC attend
ed by material good TO municipalities,
would II not be right and reasonable, and
even desirable, for the Legislature to pro-
vide the remedy and allow the exemption!
There are many sound, practical men In
this city who are OF opinion that manulac-
turers could be induced to start their en-
terprises here ii they could be exempted
from taxation. We want increased manu-
features, and therefore increased prosperi-
ty. We are working for it might ana
main, and If the Constitution is in the way
can't that solemn and awful instrument be
so amended as to accord these privileges,
vhich will rebound to our good? Agitate
the questions, Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Nc
Candlish. and you too, Mr.. Dispatch, who
are in some measure interested.

long as political power resides where it

IN such law themselves will not favor it.
Perhaps our dog-tax has been excessive,

power to submit the question TO magisterial
