Citizens Of Virginia Seeking an Ap-

Citizens Of Virginia Seeking an Ap-
preparation of 100000.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-Ths citizens Of
Virginia are taking hold with a vim of the
proposition to have grand naval review
at Hampton roads and in New York harbor
as preliminary to the worlds fair, and to-
day committee of probably forty persons
were at the capitol in the interest of the
scheme. 1t was not the regular day for the
meeting or the House naval affairs com
mittee, before which the delegation desire
TO make statements, but took advantage of
the opportunity offered by the presence Of
the committee members who came into the
room to talk informally to them in favor
or the proposition. The sum OF $500, 900 is
wanted to pay the expenses incidental to the
review. The persons present included citizens
from Norfolk, Newport News, Hamp-
ton and Portsmouth. The speakers
were Mr.. Murray editor of the Landmarks;
Mr.. Glennan, editor of the Vtr0inian:
Hon. John Goode, and Col. johnson, chair
man Of the committee. The delegation also
called on the President and the Secretary Of
the Navy. Realizing the slender chance of
che passage through both houses Of a specific
bill making provisions for the display,
Senator Daniel introduced an amendment
to the naval appropriation bill making an
appropriation OF $500. 900 for the expenses,
and this morning the Senate committee on
naval affairs reported the amendment
favorably, so that it will doubtless be in
corporated in the naval bill when that
measure is reached in the Senate.

TENNuLE'S INSTITUTE.
Commissioner Bredwell's Final Ruling
in the Davis Case

/
ATLANTA, GA, April 20.-To-day State
School Commissioner Bredwell rendered
! judgment In the case OF /. G. Davls
against the Tennills Institute. The judg-
ment, which overrules the action of the
| board Of education of Washington county,
involves an important point OF common
school law. Mr.. Davis, a citizen Of the
subschool district in which the Tennille
Institute is situated, applied to
the authorities of that school for the
admission OF his son upon the merits
of the public school fund, and for
the public term only. This application was
referred by the teacher to the
board or trustees, and by them
refused. Mr.. Davis appealed to the
county board of education, that board asked
Commissioner Brad well for full instructions
on the school law, this was furnished in
March and subsequently the board dis
missed the case, sustaining the school. Mr..
Davis appealed to the state board Of educa-
ton, and by the decision made to-day not
only gained his own case but established a
precedent that affects all the schools Of the
state participating in the school fund.
TEXT OF THE RULING.
Commiss )ner Bradwell SAYS: II hold
that the case was fully made out. 1t is
no. required Of the parent that he must
quired that the parent shall certify or make
a statement that he is unable 10 pay the
fees charged. Admission into the public
schools is not based upon the poverty of
the parents. The fund is not poor school
fund, but a common school fund. Tennille
Institute is a common school of Washing
ton county, recognized as such by the board
and the authorities of the school and con-
tracted within the terms OF the law. 1t is
not private school If 80, no contract
with the board of education is necessary,
and no private school can under any cir
cumstances. receive a cent from the
public fund. The claim that
Tennille Institute is private
school and must also share in the distribu-
ton Of the common school fund cannot be
entertained" In concluding his Judgment,
Commissioner Bradwell tightens the screws
on the Tennille school in these words
1.-THE children of L. G.. Davis are entitled to
admission tolTennille Institute for the period
of the public term upon the merits OF the
public fund only. The county school COM
missioner of Washington county is hereby
directed to withhold any share or pro-
portion Of the public school fund from Tom
mile Institute or the teachere thereof until
the terms Of this judgment are complied
with "

Senator sherman Anxious to Delay
Anti-Chinese Legislation.

usual morning business to-day Mr.. Sherman
notified the Senate that further examine
tion of the Chinese immigration question had
convinced the committee on foreign rela-
tions that the existing Chinese exclusion
legislation would not expire until 1894, and
that there was therefore no pressure for
immediate action on the question. He
would, however, call it up at the con-
venience Of the senators who desired to
speak upon the subject.
Thereupon the silver resolution offered
by Mr.. Morgan was taken up aud Mr.
Teller proceeded to address the Senate
upon It,
Mr.. Teller spoke for two and a half
hours and with more than his usual earnest
ness. He was listened to with the closest
attention and with unflagging interest by
the senators on both sides of the chamber
and at the close of his speech he was
warmly congratulated by the senator's who
sympathized with him on the silver ques-
ton, and by Mr.. Bland, who had occupied
a seat near him during most of his speech
In the course OF his speech he touched upOn
the question OF what was to be the position
OF the Republican party in the next presi-
Dental election and he served notice that
il the Republican party is to be the party
OF the gold standard, that party caunot
count upon the support of the four silver
producing states hereafter

JUDGE sYNMEs CRITICIsEs THE NEWS.
Judge Symmes followed and criticised
the SAVANNAH MORNING News for its sup
port OF Mr.. Turner, saying that the SAvAN-
NAH NEWS must want Mr. Turner back be-
cause Mr.. Turner would be favorable to the
port of Savannah. Judge Symmes said
that the NEWS had a special reporter boom
ing Turner through the district. and it was
strange that Savannah was so eager for Mr..
Turner to 60 back il it did not expect Mr..
Turner to work for Savannah to the detrl-
ment Of Brunswick. Judge Symmes sar-
castically and humOrously revie wed Chair
man Lambs rule Of Fridays mass meeting,
laughingly comparing him to ex-Speaker
Reed.
Judge Symmes took up Judge Atkinson's
record and held him up in glowing terms as
a good democrat The crowd went with
Mr.. Atkinson and Judge Symmes tonight.

Central Democratic Campaign Club of
Thomas county, was organized at Thomas
vile to-day amid exciting scenes. Some
strong opposition TO organizing developed.

telling speech In its favor.
Hon. A. T. Mcintyre and Judge Alex
Rnder opposed the idea, while Capt John
Triplett was strong in favor Of 1t.

The Debate on the Noyes-Rock we'll
Contest Continued.
WASHINGTON, April 2O-After prelimi-
nary business this morning the House re-
sumed consideration Of the Noyes Rock well
| contested election case. Mr. Wheeler Of
! Alabama, speaking in his usual crisp nervous
manner from the center aisle, gave his ad-
| herence to the cause of the contestee and
| asked the support of the majority Of the
| committee on elections. In his opinion no
| case had ever been presented for the action
OF the House where so little ground existed
upon which to base the findings Of the
majority.
Mr.. Cobb Of Alabama, who with DIR.
Gillespie OF Pennsylvania signed the
minority report in favor Of the sitting
member, then took the floor. He is tall,
thin and graceful, and is conceded to be one
Of the best lawyers in the House, but his
voice is lacking in volume, and can with
difficulty be heard above the customary din
which pervsdes the chamber His argu-
ment in support of Mr.. Rockwell was
listened to with good deal Of attention by
the democratic members; but there were
few republicans who neglected their CORE
spondence in order to follow his deductions
from the evidence in the case Mr.
Cobb reviewed the legal aspects OF the case,
and as the legal aspects of an election
case are Invariably tirssome, interest slack
ened, and before the speaker had consumed
an hour his audience had appreciably di-
minished. The confusion in the hall finally
became so great that Mr.. Cobb was com
PEELED TO appeal to the chair to be allowed
to suspend for time until other gentlemen
on the floor had concluded their remarks.
If the House did not want him to talk he
would stop here and now. The speaker pro
tenn, Mr.. Compton of Maryland, having
obtained comparative quiet. Mr.. Cobb con-
tinued with his argument
In the course OF this speech Mr.. Cobb pro-
duced the original Doyle ballots, and he
was Immediately questioned by Mr.. OFFER
rail- as to where he had obtained them.
Mr.. Cobb replied that he did not know and
he did not care. These were the original
ballots and were open to the inspection OF
the members Mr.. Cobb spoke for three
hours.
MIR. Wagner Of New York favored the
claims OF Mr.. Rockwell. He said the cons
mittee on elections evidently had attempted
to rectify the errors made by a similar
committee 10 the last congress, out in this
attempt it had gone too far and proposed
to offer up sitting member as a vicarious
sacrifice.
The House then adjourned.

board has called on Anderson & Barr, the
contractors for the construction of a light
house on Hatteras shoals, for formal ac-
acknowledgement OF their Abandonment Of that

about $4,000 in trying to make founda-
ton for the structure, but have not demon
strated to the satisfaction Of the board that
the project is impossible. Capt. Mahan,

opinion, however, that it will take s., 00O,-

WASHINGTON, April 20.-The House la.

relating TO the daily service Of laborers and

ment of all iaborers and mechanics EN-.
ployed by the government of the United
States, by the District OF Columbia or by
any contractor or subcontraotor upon any
public works of the United States or of

lawful for any officer of the United States
governments or of the District of Columbia
or any contractor, or subcontractor, whose

guilty Of a misdemeanor and be punished by
fine or imprisonment, or both. The pro-
visions Of the act are not to apply to or at
feet contracts already entered into. The
vote on the bill was not uuani-
nous, several members dissenting. The
existing S-hour law is a mere naked declara.
ton that eight hours should constitute a

visions. Hence the law became practically
imperative. The penalty provision IN the
