A STORM BREWING.
The Board of Examiners Assert
Their Powers.

The Board of Examiners of the School
Department have reached the conclusion
that the power to issue certificates is vested
by law solely in them, and hereafter they
propose TO exercise that power to the last
degree. Heretofore they have never gone
further than to recommend, and their re-
ports to the Board of Education were ap-
proved or rejected. as the latter saw fit.
The regularity or legality of the special
certificate issued to Miss Dora Kosminsky,
20 teach stenography. having been ques-
toned, she was summoned before the board
to be examined. A committee consisting of
H. W. Cadman, Miss NJ. l.. Richards and
Miss NJ. L. Conway was selected TO test
Miss kosminsky'S qualifications to teach
stenography. After putting her through a
rigid test of three-quarters of an hour they
reported that they found her thoroughly
competent. A certificate was accordingly
issued to her.
Miss Nora Goodman is to be examined in
sewing next Friday, at o'clock in the after
noon.
A high school certificate was granted to
Irving z. Henning on his California life
diploma.
first grade certificate was granted to
Miss Lillian Roden on her Alameda County
grammar grade certificate.
The rules of the board were ordered
printed.

GROUND OF FRAUD.

The public will not give much considera-
ton to the intimation thrown out by the
Examiner that the Hopkins-Searles will
will be contested on the ground of fraud.
That will was drawn up by an eminent law
firm in New York that handles no such
dangerous weapons as fraud. 1t was doubt
less advised by Mr.. Huntington, who is
fully alive to the impolicy of letting fraud of
any kind into document that may be SUBJ
ject to the closest possible examination.
The chances are a thousand to one that
Mrs. Searles signed the will knowing pre-
cisely what its contents were. She was in
frame Of mind which reconciled her to the
idea of rellnquishing all her cherished plans
and concentrating every dollar she possessed
in the hands OF her husband. If there had
been fraud in the transaction, the chances
are that one or two millions would have been
distributed round, where, in the opinion of
the beneficiary of the will, it would do the
most good. But there are other grounds
upon which the will may be contested. The
assertion that Mrs. Searles changed her
mind in respect to the disposition of her
properly within few months of her death
will probably be sustained. By some in
fuence or other she was persuaded to cut
off dependent relatives whom she had cared
for during many years, and to ignore public
institutions which she had promised to re-
member. The influences brought to bear
upon her to produce these results will be
aDalyZed and the motives Of her advisers
be traced as far as possible.

THE EMPERoR INDIGNANT.

The Emperor of Germany Is naturally in
dignant at the stories the French press is
circulating about him. The stories in circu-
lation are without doubt eXaggerations of
some irregularities that would not have at
tracted attention if the leading participant
had been a common person. Meantime
rumors are revived that the French Gov
eminent will be in measure held respon-
sihIe for the utterances Of French news
papers. Won Caprivi probably feels that
he must make some movement in that di-
reclion. But the withdrawal of the German
Minister from Paris would be perilous
step to take. The stories the Emperor OBJ
jects to will be sfted and the truth ascer-
tained if there is no Government inter-
ference. But if the Emperor requires an
apology from the French Government 1t
Will probably be refused. 1t can hardly be
otherwise, since the French Government is
not responsible for the French press, and
can neither apologize for the past nor prom
Use for the future. One of the weaknesses
of despotic government is the exaggerated
idea deSpotic rulers have of their relative
Importance to the people. 1t is expected
whole nation will wait on the convenience
of the ruler. If anything goes wrong the
people must stand the consequence. In the
present instance it is not improbable that
the exaggeration of a French PAPER playing
upon the vanity of the German Emperor
will involve the leading nations of Europe

interest entirely out of the question. it is
plain that the people of the United States
generally will never consent to the payment
Of direct taxes, which means the assessment
OF every description of property, as at pres

FLINT'S WILL.

Testimony That the Testator Was Absent
Minded.
Dr. Mclean, who treated Attorney W. c.
Flint in his last illness. was the first witness
called in Judge Levy's department yester-
day at the hearing of the contest of the will.
He was asked about Flint's condition few
weeks before his death, but the question
was objected to on the ground that physi-
clan cannot reveal secret entrusted him by
a patient.
DR.. Mclean was finally allowed to say
that during the last years OF FlinCS life he
seemed TO be nervous and absent minded.

that Flint had said that while i'll he had
been neglected.

Property Clerk Cullen resents the insinu-
alton that to his office is chargeable the sup
posed loss of the revolver which was evil

MIR. Cullen, sit was by means only of the

The weapon was Colts revolver num-

ing the sum they need. To some minds
books and literature are matters of trivial
moment. But. after all, they are the best
test of civilization. A community in which
people do not read must be in a backward
condition in every respect. 1t can neither
accomplish results in science nor feel the
refinement which letters bring, nor even win
high rewards in industry or trade. The
man who evolves his ideas out of his inner

WHEAT PROSPECTS.

The wild excitement in the Chicago wheat
market has been followed by a collapse as
startling. 1t is evident that the rush to buy
was caused by bear panic, in which every
one who had sold for future delivery was
seized with desire to cnver.
In the meantime reports from Kansas and
some other States have led to an impression
that the crop reports are below the truth.
1t Is said that Kansas alone will yield
70.0O0ooo bushels of wheat this year, and
that the total crop will reach 535, 900, 600
bushels. This would be over 100000 in
excess of the largest crop on record.
1t will be remarkable coincidence If we
should have the banner crop of the century
simultaneously with the highest prices for
wheat that have been realized in many
years. The farmer is certainly in luck.
