THE NEW TREATY.

why the President Does Not Send IL to
the senate.
NEW YORK, February IA Washing
ton special 10 the Tribune says that the
new treaty still remains in the possession
of the President His failure 10 send IL
to the Senate yesterday is explained on
the ground that he desires 10 accompany
it By message which will fully explain
the several features of the treaty, and
practically amount to plea In its be-
half
The treaty prohibits, in the most ex.
plicit terms, as already indicated in these
dispatches. the purchase Of bait by our
fishermen. Ii is true that the latter have
often proclaimed that they did not care
for the privilege, if 10 pay for what you
buy can be called privilege, OF the mari
time provinces, and does not extend to
any other territory under the jurisdiction
OF either country. Such change was
rendered necessary in order 10 guard our
rights in Chesapeake Bay, which for
obvious reasons, might have been endan-
gered by An omnibus Interpretation Of
the three mile limit clause, either In This
or any other treaty.

Election Of New Members Postponed IN
I'll Friday


I'll Friday
At 745 last night the two branches OF
the CITY Council met in joint session TO
elect three members of the City School
Board.
Mr.. Pizzini moved 10 postpone The
election OF the three members OF me
School Board until Friday, March "a.
he explained that in Offering this motion
he did so merely because the Council
could not, in the short time given the
members tell who were the proper per-
sons to elect.
Mr.. Conner opposed postponement.
Mr.. Powers said that It would be a
dangerous precedent 10 postpone the
election. and thought that Mr.. Pizzlnni
had ample time toinyesigate the character
of the three gentlemen whose terms oil
Office expire.
Mr.. Frank Murphy moved to postpone
ill Friday night, February "a. This mo-
tlon Mr.. Pizzinni accepted.
Mr. Pizzini said that the three mem
bcrs Of the Board had been members Tor
number Of years. He did not believe
that their actions were altogether judi
cious There is rule that no one not
\ graduate Of the Normal or High school
shall be a public school teacher. He
wanted new blood In the Board. Iechni.
cal education, night schools, etc, should
be In operation, and the election oil
Young men on the Board Is necessity.
The election should be postponed at least
one week.
Mr.. Starke, In reply, said that on the
list Of reserve teachers now were many
names of ladies who had never been
graduates OF the city's high schools.
Mr.. Bryan, member OF the School
Board, said Mr. Pizzinl had not gone TO
the trouble to inform himself. The only
trouble that the School Board has ever
had is the obstacles thrown In the way by
the chairman Of the Finance Committee
Mr.. PizzinD in refusing To give the
school teachers the proposed 10 per cent.
increase In salary, and its total failure to
assist in technical and mechanical educa-
tion at night.
Mr.. Bahen knew Of member OF the
School Board who said that no ladies
need apply for the position OF school
teacher unless a graduate or the cily's
schools.

The shnh,s rinest Charger.

The Persians Of today, as those OF old,
are a .'horsey" race, born riders, fond of
their horses, looking never complete TIL
seen in the saddle, with all the luxurious
trappings and ornaments they love TO be-
stow upon their persons and their quad
rupeds. The beauty and superior breed
of a horse, together with the coStliness Of
his apparel, are an unfailing indication
of the owners wealth and station. And
such harness, such saddles, girths and
blankets. 1t is the Arabian Nights redi-
vivus.
On race day last spring, after the con-
tests were over, the shah caused his finest
charger, a Turcoman Of magnificent pro-
portions, to be brought in front Of the
huge pavilion tent wherein the whole
European and American diplomatic corps
was assembled. What a fine fellow the
animal was, and how he was admired
and caressed by the ladies. But what
was especially noticeable about him was
the splendor of his accoutrements. A
saddle blanket Of the finest cashmere,
every square inch Of which was worth
several gold pieces; his broad bride
thickly incrusted with diamonds and
emeralds and rubies, each the size Of a
h%azeluut; the bit of pure gold, and the
saddle straps and other pieces made Of
velvet and embossed with artistic Jumps
of gold and precious stones. The whole
outfit was worth a large fortune; and
this was but one of many.-Wof Won
Schierbrand in The Cosmopolitan.
