LONDON SCHOOL ELECTIONS.
Universal Primary Education a Feature
in the Pending Contest.

Special Cable Dispatch TO The EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Nov. 24-On Monday the rate-pay-
ers of London will be called upon to take part
in the triennial election of a school board. The
retiring board contains a majority of members
devoted to the interests of voluntary schools as
opposed to state schools. They went in on a
cry of economy, but practically have continued
in Office the work which their predecessors
marked out for them. The feature Of the pres
ent contest is that every candidate Processes to
favor universal elementary election. In pre-
vious contests the clergymen of the church of
England were openly opposed to the educa-
tional policy Of Forster's act, which was
thought injurious to the interests of their own
school system. Cumulative voting by the board
elections gives curious results, a Roman Catho-
lie candidate often heading the poll in Protest
ant districts. but the result is looked forward to
politically with good deal of interest as an in
dication of the tendency of opinion in provin-
cial towns. On the whole the tories have been
successful at Liverpool, Manchester and Sal
ford. and the liberals at Leeds Birmingham
and Sheffield

Jefferson Davis Latest Rebellion.

1T WAS QUIETLY BUT EFFECTIVELY SUPPRESSED.
The report of Captain Kingman, in charge
of the Mississippi river, about Hard Times
levee, calls attention to Mr.. Jefferson Davis
latest rebellion and describes how it was put
down without bloodshed.
The report says that trouble was anticipated
in the early part Of the month with owners of
lands through which the right of way for the
levee passes. Trouble was expected, particu-
larly in passing through the land of Jefferson
Davis. Law suits and armed resistance were
threatened but when it became evident to the
property-holders that the United States would
not enter their lands without permission. but
would leave holes in the levees at their
property, they gladly consented to let the work
go on.

NEBRAsKA's MORTGAGE FORGERs
They are Thought TO Have Secured Over
$4,000 by Their Crimes.

CHICAGO, Nov. PA special from Omaha,
Neb., says: As the examination of the affairs of
F. A. Scovil and g. A. Crafts, the absconding
Valparaiso, Neb., bankers, progresses il be-
comes evident that their swindling operations
have been carried on in a system Itic manner
for some time. Several more crooked transac-
tions have come TO light. Among them are
the forging Of notes and mortgages to the ex-
tent of more than $4,000. To one of these for
5000 was forged the name of J. L. Magee, of
Valparaiso, and was on property which Magee
had never owned or claimed TO own. The
mayors name was forged to another for O.. 500
also on property which belonged to other
parties In both OF these cases the mortgages
were made in Scovils favor and were negoti-
ated by him. He also executed forged instru-
ments to several citizens of this county in
various amounts all ON property to which he
never had the shadow of a title. Scovil is
about thirty-seven years old. He was a men,
Der of the lower house Of the Nebraska legisla-
ture in 1856 from Saunders county and has
always been regarded as an upright business
man and stood high in the community. Crafts,
the cashier, was about twenty-three years Of
age, rather small in stature. dark compile xioned
and wore a small, dark moustache. 1t is thought
that the men have gone to Canada.
