BRIGGS CHANGES.
A Well-spring of Hope in Republi.
can Breasts.

COLUMBUS, O., January 10.-There
have been several rumors in circulation
today relative to the proposed bolt of the
caucus which last night nominated Cal.
vim s. Brics for the Senate. There were
seventy-five members at the caucus
three did not appear. They are Smith,
of Franklin, Munson of Licking, and
Kounts, of Shelby. It is reported they
will not vote for Brice. The situation at
lesst has created uneasiness. There will
be seventy-four Democrats from the eau
Gus to vote for Brice, Brown, of Han
cock, having sent note that he would
not support the nominee. There are
seventy one Republicans, and if the
three alleged boilers join in with them,
they would have the same number OF
votes as the Democrats. The claim is
made that Brice will have to receive a
majority of all the members elected to
the Legislature, which would be seventy
six. Brice's managers claim that the
law only requires a majority of those
present and voting. Representative
Knapp died last night. and Lawler is not
expected to live through the night,
which cuts the number of Democratic
members to seventy-seven, and the three
alleged boilers still reduces his available
strength to seventy-four.

German Character.
THE LATE EMPRESS AUGUSTA,
Little Alfonso XIII Showing Slight
Impr0vement--The Pinto Affair
Practically Settled.


Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
BERLIN, January 10-Mr. Phelps,
United States Minister, delivered an ad-
dress before the Anglo-American Society
here, in which he praised the patient
pursuit Of duty that characterized the
German race in every rank, from prince
to peasant. He dwelt upon this trait as
revealed by the Empress Augusta in the
last audience he had with her. The labor
of that audience was theu evidently be-
yond her strength. "One thing" he
said. "espe cially struck me upon that
occasion. Every topic seemed to lead
her unconsciously to the same subject
of love of peace which appeared
to strangely fill and occupy her
mind. Whether speaking of Amer
ica's material and moral growth or of
France and the exhibition, she always
reverted to peace. Detecting gleam of
merriment on my face at this, she in
winning, half pettish tone, reproached
me, adding, Think what know Of war;
and murmured something, of which I
caught only the words. father and son.
She dismissed me with an earnest in
junction to promote peace between Ger
many and America"
The body of the ex-Empress Augusta
is lying in state in the chapel of the
Schloss, which has been opened to the
public, and a large number of persons
are moving past the coffin. The will of
the dead Empress bequeaths her palaces
at Berlin and Bahesburg to Emperor
William; to her daughter, the Grand
Duchess of Baden, che gives four million
marks, and leaves legacies to her serv-
ants and to large number Of charitable
and religious bodies.

IMPROVING ROURLY.
The Infant King of spain Resting
Somewhat Easier.

MADRID, January 10.-Although there
is no considerable change in the con-
dition of the King, there are some symp-
toms that indicate slight improvement.
He slept in the morning, but was again
feverish in the afternoon. At Cabinet
council, at which Sagasta presided, it
was unanimously decided that the Min
istry should remain in Office with -unim-
paired powers, and in the event of the
Kings death, the crown should pass i'm
msdiately to his eldest sister, with
Queen Christina as regent.
Queen Christina wired to Vienna tonight
that the condition of Alfonso is improv-
ing hourly.
The infant King suffered from another
cardiac attack during last night, but
later the attack decreased in, severity,
and there was slight improvement in
his condition. Three more doctors were
summoned for consultation with the
household physicians. The Prime Min
lister was present. After O'Clock the
King was less feverish and spoke few
words to his mother
The consultation of physicians lasted
an hour. The Qusen Regent, the Kings
mother, was present and wept profusely.
Sefior Sagasta passed the entire night at
the bedside of the King. Al o'clock
revulsives were applied to the head of
the King, and later blisters. Afterwards
he became calmer and his fever disap-
peared.
The Government has adopted special
n easures to prevent an outbreak in the
event of the Kings death.

Schools.
THE EHAUGHTY WHITES OF ALTON
They Want Separate Schools fol
the Pickaninnies-Other
Eastern News.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALr,
ST.. LOUIS, January 10-A special to
the Republic from Alton, ILL.,, says: The
trouble over the admission of colored
children to the public schools in white
districts has broken out afresh. This
question has been up two or three times,
and the courts decided once that colored
children are entitled, under the organic
law, to attend the same schools as
whites. Strong opposition developed,
however, and as the great mass of
colored people in upper Alton live in one
district, school building was set apart
for their use, the School Board redis-
trictiDg the town to meet the emergency.
This. however, did not long satisfy the
negroes, who have been threatening that
they would force their way into the high
school building. and with that end in
view, recently instituted mandamus pro-
ceedings to compel the board to redis-
trict the town on o more equable basis.
Pending q decision, few negro
families moved into the high school dis.
trict, and yesterday eight or ten colored
children, accompanied by their parents,
applied for admission. The superintend-
ent assigned them to rooms in the lower
grades. They were not, however, as-
signed seats by the teachers. At
the forenoon recess the colored
children were driven off the
grounds by the whites, and did not
return during the day. At the hour for
opening school today, however. they,
accompanied by their parents, marched
to the high school building and de-
msnded admittance. A body of white
citizens who had assembled resisted the
demand, and the City Marshal on search
ing several of the negroes, found revolv.
ers and other weapons in their posses
sicn. Many of the whites were also
found armed, but hostilities were pre-.
vented by the judicious action OF the
authorities.
At meeting this afternoon the Sch Dol
Boar' resolved to dismiss the colorec
school in the colored district and sub
stitute mixed school in it's place
Action was also taken on the establish
ment of boundary lines which will admi
some of the blacks to the high sctoo
building. This is a victory for thu
blacks, and q good deal of bitterness il
expressed. The whites threaten to de
sert the schools and default on thei
school taxes.

Teachers Protected In Their Posi-.
lions.


tfOns.
The decision OF the Supreme Court in
the case of Miss Kate Kennedy, who was
arbitrarily dismissed by the San Fran
cisco Bosrd of Education, in 1887, from
her position as principal of the North
Cosmopolitan Grammar school, will
prove great source of comfort and peace
of mind to competent public school
teachers. Heretofore their tenure of po-
sition has been precarious, and subject
to the arbitrary will of the appointing
power and of the influential politi-
clans behind the School Boards.
Miss Kennedy has been q
teacher and principal in the schools Of
San Francisco since early in the fifties.
She is most accomplished lady and a
most proficient teacher. In 1887 she
was given leave of absence and visited
Europe. When she returned her place
was declared vacant, against her protest.
She appealed to the courts for re.instate.
ment and back salary. The case was
carried to the court of last resort, and
there her right to the position from
which she had been arbitrarily ousted
was confirmed, her Reinstatement or
dered, and her back salary, amounting
to IS 900, ordered to be paid.
This decision settles the principle that
under our school laws teachers cannot
be removed at the pleasure of the ap
pointing power. When elected to posi-
tions to which their certificates entitle
them, they can only be dismissed fol
violating the rules Of the Board of Edu
cation, for incompetency, or for unpro
fessional or immoral conduct.
The court has answered the objection
urged bv counsel for the San Francisco
Board, to the effect that if teachers can
not be dismissed by that body, theil
tenure of position is virtually one fo
life, by saying: "This certainly canno
be of danger to the efficiency Of the
schools, because the teacher can only
maintain his position while he is faithful
and competent"
In the light of this decision loca
Boards of Education will be required t,
revise their methods. It. has been tn,
practice in Los Angeles to terminate the
tenure of all the teachers with the close O
the school year, and to re-appoint then
at the opening of the succeeding one
The old teachers, it is true, have beef
generally re-appointed, but the Board wa.
under no obligation to do 80, and could

beneficial to the cause of educa
tion, and will have tendenc,
to raise the proficiency of our teachers Il

ELMIRA, N. T., January 10.-The po.
lice were summoned this afternoon to
the house of widow named Mary Ellen
burger, where the body of William Ed
wards, a we'll ll.to-do farmer, WAS found
with bullet hole through his head.
Mrs. Eilenburger said she and Edwards
had quarreled over money matters, and
he drew revolver. In the struggle for
the weapon it was discharged. An ex-
animation, however, showed that the
ball had entered the back of Edwards
neck, and that his coat collar had been
burned by powder. Mrs. Eilenburgel
was arrested. She and the farmer have
had intimate relations with each othe,

Protection for Prunes.

WASHINGTON, January 10.-The fruit
raisers were given hearing before the
Ways and Means Committee yesterday,
when Congressman Clunie, of California,
presented petition from the fruit-grow-
ers of the Santa Clara valley asking that
the duty on prunes be raised from one to
three cents. Under the present duty,
with the existing freight rates, foreign
producers can lay down prunes in the
markets of New York and other eastern
cities at prices with which California
producers cannot possibly compete !;
whereas, if the duty is raised as desired
western growers can control all these
markets.

The death of Mrs. Hannah B. South
worth, who shot down Stephen L. Pet
tus in the street, last November, in New
York, ends, before it had begun, trial
that would ia all probability have
brought to light a budget Of scandal that
would have arrested public attention
everywhere. The woman claimed that
she had been ruined by Pettus, a mil
lionaire, and that driven to desperation
by her seducer's refusal not only to cid
her in her extremity. but by his efforts
to publicly defame her character, she
took the law into her own hands and
shot him down. The facts in the case
cannot now be judicially ascertained,
but the friends Of Pettus have announced
that they will continue to gather testi-
mony in the interest of his memory, and
show that Pettus, instead of having been
the wrecker of Mrs. Southworth's vir-
tue, was her banefactor and disinterested
friend. 1t is very likely they can make
out an ex-parte case that will blacken
the character of the dead woman and
make Pettus's appear as white as Snow.
There is no one to champion the woman
who has gone, or to rebut the statements
OF her detractors. But it will take q
great deal of unimpeachable testimony
to change the verdict the public fret
came to, that Mrs. Southworth was
driven to despair by no ordinary wrongs
at the hands of the man she killed.

A RIOT AVERTED.
An Exciting Time MT PunXsu-
taWmeY, Pennsylvania.

PuNxsUTAwNEy. Pa, January TO-
Three families of striking miners were
evicted today. There was considerable
excitement, but no violence. After the
Sheriff, accompanied by thirty three
Pinkertons, armed with Winchesters,
had thrown out an italian family, about
300 of their countrymen collected and
began yelling and firing into the air.
Two hundred shots were fred, and they
were getting more excited as the music
of their revolvers increased. Master
Workman Wilson arrived on the scene
just at this time, went amongst them,
and told them they must keep quiet and
not break the peace, or they would ruin
their cause. Wilson says it is his sincere
conviction that had he not happened on
the scene when he did, there would have
been one Of the bloodiest riots ever seen
in this country.
