STEPHEN A. WALKERS CONFIRMATION.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

TALK ABOUT HIS SUCCESSOR As PRESIDENT OF TIE
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
The confirmation of Stephen A. Walker for
United States DStrict-AttOruey by the Senate was
made known in yesterdays Washington dispatches.
1t mad been expected daily, bnt Mr.. Walker sad
that he had received no information respecting 1t
and first became aware of the Senate's action
through The TRIBUNE. He did not visit the office
of the United States District-Attorney Yesterday
and at that Office no official word had been re-
ceived last evening of Mr.. Walkers appointment.
9" | have no doubt of the statement" Mr., Walker
said Yesterday afternoon, and shall probably be
officially informed within day or two"
Does the confirmation render you at once in
eligible as o member of the Board of Education I"
"No. think not" ne returned, ' not until am
aualfed as | might decline, you know. If j re-
ceIve information of the Senate's action J. shall
probably qualify on Monday and before doing so
send in my resignation 10 the Mayor as COmmls-
sioner of the Board of Education"
Mr. Walker attended the meeting OF committee
This will probably be his last official action with
that Board. Since his retirement from tue Beard
became probable, several candidates Eaye been
mentioned for his position president. Al first it
Mr. Simmons who was Mr. Walkers competitor,
and who failed by ore vote to be elected. Mr..
Simmons said that he was not a candidate IN the
sense of entering in to contest for the position,
but indicated that he was willing 10 accept the
Office if the Board cared to elect him. Some of the
older commissioners are strongly IN favor OF elect
ing William Wood. Mr.. Woed is the oldest men,
Der of the Board, and was president before Mr.
Walker was elected. He is good presiding officer,
and has q larger and more intimate acquaintance
with school affairs than any other member Gilbert
H. Crawford one of the younger commissioners is
strongly urged for the office. lie is graduate of
the College of the City of New-York, and has taken
an active part in school affairs while II is said that
Mr. Simmons is comparatively new member of
the body. The CLAIMS of Charles J.. Holt are also
being presented In the Nine eeenth Ward he was for
MANY years a trustee before being appointed a
commissioner. The interest which he takes in
school affairs and the ability shown in the sched-
uies which he prepared for regarding last year,
placed him in high estimation among the mem
bers
"In any case" said one of the members yester.
day, 1.-THE contest between the candidates will be
friendly one"

DANGER OF ANOTHER MILK WAR.
fnE EXCHANGE DECIDES THAT THE FAhMEk Nus
PAY THE FREIGHT.

PAY THE FREIGHT.
The question of making the farmers pay the
freight ON milk and cream shipped TO this city was
discussed and settled at meeting held IN the office
of the Milk Exchange, No. % North MOore-st., on
Wednesday. The following card was issued by the
Exchange:
At meeting OF the MIX Exchange, held this day, II
was resolved that and after March 1856, and until
otherwise ordered the market price OF milk be four cents
per quart, less the railroad charges! from each re-
spectlve producers chipping point together with al
0wance OF five cents OF forty quarts where the
milk delivered the west side OF tho Hudson River
This move of the Exchange was brought about
in New-Jersey. The immediate effect of 1t will be
10 bear heavily on the shipper OF milk from distant
points and will it is thought tend to cuItail mate
rally the territory which supplies milk to the CITY,
When the plan was first broached i'll the Exchange
il met with vigorous opposition from the members
who were owners Of creameres and before II could
be adopted by the Exchange special meeting OF
the creamery men was held. Both bodies were IN
session on Wednesday and enough creamery men
were won over to pass the resolution:
The latter feared that 1t would hurt
their business. They protested that one
effect would be to cause Immediately @ large num-
ber of diaries TO spring up close 10 the city In order
10 taae advantage O the four-cent rate. But these
prophets were won over, although not convinced.
Under this new rule each farmer who now ships
to tho order of the Exchange will have to settle
with the railroads for his freight bill. 1t is be-
Heved that they will rebel In vigorous style and
probably begin another milk war. Heretofore the
price set by the Exchange was the price paid the
