ANOTHER CONFLICT.


The amepds made at the last SEES
sion of the Legislature to section II
and 30 of the school law are i'll con
flct.
Section II requires civil govern
ment and bookkeeping among the
branches to be taught in the primary
schools, but says that they shall not
be required to be taught nor the
teacher be required to be examined
upon them before July /, 1892. -
The amendment to section29, passed
after section II, requires that all APP
plicants for Mird grade certificate
shall be examined in all the branches
now required to be taught and that
all applicants for a second grade certifi-
cate. in addition to the branches now
required to be taught, shall be e1-
amined in civil government, and that
all applicants for first grade certiti-
cate, IN addition to the branches now
required, shall be examined III civil
government and single entry book
keeping
The State Superintendent says
This conflict cannot be reconciled,
and section 80 must be obeyed. y
The Attorney General, in giving his
opinion, says: Certainly, book-keep-
Ing and civil government are not
branches required to be taught III prl-
mary schools before July !, 1892.
Therefore, although the applicant, III
order to secure u No. certificate
must be examined in these branches
in 1891, an applicant may obtain a
No. Q certificate for that year without
being examined in bookkeeping, and
an applicant may obtain No. 3 GER
tificate without being examined IN
either civil government or book-keep-
ing. After July 1, 1892, all applicants
must be examine in all the branches
required to be taught in the primary
schools.

THE NEW CHILEAN CONGRESS.


Declaration of the Electors Favor
Montt-Canard About the Baltimore.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.-Senor Pedro
Montt, the Chilean minister, returned to
Washington from New Orleans, accom-
panied by his wife and the following
members of the legation, who have just
arrived from Chile: Annibal CRUZ,
Guillermo Amunatogui and valentin
del Campo.
Minister Montt received cable mes
sage from Santiago saying that the new
Chilean congress is composed MS follows:
Llberals-Senators, 81; deputies, SO.
Conservatives-Sen 5;deputies, 3S.
Liberal majority on joint ballot, 43. The
message also said the Conservative di-
rectory, the Liberal assembly and the
electors assembled at Santiago and de-
clared that they would vote for Admiral
Jorge Montt as president of Chile.
A rumor was circulated that dis
patch had been received by the navy de-
partment from Valparaiso announcing
the sinking of the United States cruiser
baltimore by a Chilean torpedo, causing
the loss Of all on board except fifty-six
persons.
Secretary Tracy, however, denied the
truth of the rumor tersely and emphat-
ically. Not only had the navy depart
ment received no such report, but dis
patch had been received from Captain
Sehley saying that everything was quiet
in Valparaiso.

meeting was most enthusiastic and a

BOUND FOR BRAZIL.
Augusta, Dom Pedro's Grandson,
Expected in Rio Janeiro.
THE PRINCE MAY LEAD A REVOLT.

Adherents OF Fonseca Fear That
Trouble May Ensue Upon His Ar
rivai-An OF Fonseca's Ministers,
Except One, Resign-Dom Pedro
Unable to Journey to the Republic.
Rio JANEIRo. Nov. 0.--It is reported
here that Augusta, one of the grandsons
of Dom Pedro, the ex-Emperor of Brazil,
and an officer in the Australian navy, is
on board corvette, which is expected
to arrive here in few days.
The rumor has increased the excite
ment that was caused by the dissolution
of congress and President Fonseca pro-
claiming himself dictator. Fonseca's
followers make use of it to Justify his
recent acts, and say that it proves his
statement that the enemies of the re-
public have been engaged in wide
spread conspiracy to restore the imperial
rule.
Prince Pedro Augusta is the eldest son
OF Dom Pedro's younger daughter, Leo
polinda, who married the Prince August
of the house Of Saxe-Coburg. she died
in 1871, leaving four sons, Pedro, Au-
born near Rio in March, 1865.
To lead the ImperiaIists
They see in him the hope of the mon-
archists, and believe that he has been
selected to lead the Imperialist rising be-
cause OF his naval training and his age,
the sentiment the old emperor felt for
him, and the affection the Brazilian
nation entertained for him wears ago on
that account. Ysahels eldest son, Pc
dro, is only in his 18th year, and could
hardly be expected to play the role of
leader in a revolution.
Prince Augusta has a fine presence,
and charming in manner, and is well
educated. II the report is true about
his presence aboard the corvette, trouble
will undoubtedly follow his landing in
Brazil.
Fonseca's Ministers Resign.
Deodora Da Fonseca has renewed his
declarations that he will sustain the re-
public, and instances his calling for a
meeting OF the new congress next JAN
uary as proof of his loyalty to federal
institutions. The congress will revise
the constitution under the injunctions
of the chief executive.
1t is stated that all Fonseca's minis
ters except Baron de Lucena, an I'm
perialist, have resigned. He is the pre-
mier and minister of the treasury.
There is report in Buenos Ayres of
a revolt against Fonseca in the Rio
Grande du Sol province. The wires are
cut there, SO that it is impossible to get
any correct information as to the news.
-spesi inS by the mass of revolutionary
items wired over the mountains there
seem to be outbreaks occurring at Mon
teyideo and Buenos Ayres all the time.
A dispatch from Paris says that Dom
Pedro is very feeble, and that he should
ever undertake journey to Brazil is
out of the question.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-T. Thomas For
tunes srit against James Trainor for
$4,000 damages for assault and false
imprisonment was concluded before JUS
Dice Truax Of the supreme court.
Justice Truax instructed the jury that
the defendant had the absolute right to
refuse to sell drink to any person, and
that person who declined to leave after
being thus refused became trespasser.
The question for the jury to determine,
he said, was whether there was probably
cause for arrest.
The jury was out about ten minutes
and returned with verdict Of 1895 for
the plaintiff. An allowance of per
cent. was given counsel.
Fortune is colored man and editor
of The Age. He asked for a drink of
beer in Trainor's bar room, Thirty-third
street and Sixth avenue, and, as he
claims, was refused on account of his
color
