SECTARIAN TROUBLES.
rhe Roman Catholic Priests Invade the
School Rooms OF Long Island City and
Take Children Away During the
Sessions.

LONG ISLAND CITY, Jan. l6.
A repetition of the sectarian troubles which
agitated Long Island City some years ago,
and which eliminated in the exclusion of
the Bible from the public schools, is threat
ened. large number of taxpayers of the
first ward are after the school commissioners,
to know by what right the priests Of St
Mary's Roman Catholic church, Hunters
Point, are allowed, on certain church hol
days, to go TO the first ward school and march
the Catholic children from their class rooms
and lead them across the street to the church
to hear mass As the Catholic children form
10 per cent. of the attenance. some of the
class rooms are entirely emptied on such oc-
casions. 1t is claimed that such proceedings
are violations of the law under which the city
schools exist, and are decidedly sectarian in
their nature. number of citizens attended
the meeting of the school commissioners last
evening, intending to bring the matter before
them, but owing to the failure of the board
to organize by eecting a president after II
ballots had been taken nothing could be
done. The agitation which is being worked
up in relation to the matter promises to
make things lively for City Superintendent
c. w. Gould and others.

The Same Human Nature,

Many vain attempts are made to repeat the
markable success of Benson's Capcine Plaster. This
splendid remedy s known, sold and used everywhere,
and its prompt action and unrivalled curative pow
ers have won for it hosts Of friends limitations
have sprung up under similar sounding names, such
as "Capscin." "Capscum," ETC.. intended to deceive
the careless and unwary. These articles possess
none Of the virtues of the genuine. Therefore we
hope the people will assist to protect what at
once their interests and ours. Ask for Benson's
Plaster. and examine what is given you. and make
that the word "Capcne" Is cut In the middle Of

THE IRISH QUESTION.
A New solution of the Problem bv the
Irish Times.

DuBLIS, Jan. is.
The Irish Times, loyalist organ, offers .
now solution to the Irish question today. 1t
says that the outcome OF the present situation
will be that the lord lieutensncy will be en-
tirely done away with, and the functions of
that office will become part of the duties OF
the president of the local government board.
This latter officer will be assisted by chief
secretary for Ireland who will reside at
Whitehall and have general charge OF the
administration of Irish affairs. The immed-
late executive duties will be performed by an
officer stationed at Dublin. The advocates
of this scheme find reason for believing it
possible in the fact that the leaders of both
parties have already abandoned the idea Of
creating an Irish Parliament, while it is ad-
mitted on all hands that the present mode Of
governing IRELAND cannot continue unmodi-

SAN Francisco. Ian Is.

SAN Francisco, Jan. l6.
Advices from Yokohama to the Associated
Press say that an important change has Just
been effected in the form and constitution of
the japanese government Hitherto there
have been three principal offices that of the
prime minister, prime minister of the right
and prime minister of the left. which ranked
in the order named. rhe council of state
only existed in name, having no power apart
from these prime ministers. As q conse-
quence the heads of executive departments
were not personally responsible for the ad-
minlstrauon OF the trusts in their charge.
The new reform consists in the abolition
Of the council of state and the offices of prime
ministers and the formation OF a responsible
cabinet consisting OF chiefs of departments
with one of their number as president of the
cabinet. Several other changes have been
made, the principal one being the abolition
of the department Of public works and the
creation of department of communication,
controlling the post offices, railways and tel
egraphs.
The Coreau government has decided to
construct y telegraph line from Seoul to
Frisam, \ distance of 800 miles, connecting
at the latter point with the cable TO Nsgssaki,
Japan.
Ii is reported At Yokohama that owing TO
the failure of the Japanese government to
raise loan in England plan is under con-
sideration to borrow the money in the United
