ed in only three studies, each of which
is more difficult than the most difficult
study in the grammar schools, and in
these three studies he must obtain an
average rank of IS to retain his standing
in his class. The result is, that many
pupils who were accustomed to obtain a
rank of IS or 80 in the grammar school
are surprised to find that they have
dropped to rank of so or so in the High
School, and becoming discouraged leave
school at the end of the first year. 1 rec

are to continue'to be the basis of promo
ton, the rule be so amended that, after
this wear, no child shall be promoted
who has not obtained rank of 70 in
arithmetic, and of Is in history, gram
mar, and geography each, as well as an
average rank IN the entire course of
study.
The present condition of our schools is

Mr.. Voorhees, Measure Does Not Please
the Silver Men.
Senator Dubois Says 1t is Simply q
Makeshift and That 1t Will
Never Pass.

The bill introduced in the Senate yester-
day by Mr.. Voorhees, providing for the
coinage of the seigniorage in the treasury
and the purchase, after that shall have
been coined, of two million dollars worth
Of silver a month, the retirement of small
notes and 100 and s. gold pieces. &c, does
not appear to strike a sympathetic chord
in the hearts Of the men who made the
fight for silver during the late extra ses-
sion. Mr.. Dubois, who was the active lieu
not pass and says that it will not AFFORD
expect.
1.-The bill is not what the silver men
want" said Mr.. Dubois. land 1t is not what
Senators appear to forget that the fight
Is contest between gold monometalists
and those who are for the coinage of sill
ver We are not in this fight to secure the
purchase of silver bullion. We, of course,
opposed the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law because We wanted 1t
retained on the statutes until we got some
thing better. This bill offers the silver men
absolutely nothing. 1t will not receive the
votes of the men who voted against re-
peal of the Sherman law, and l do not
think 1t will have the support OF the re-
publican Senators who voted with the demo-
Gratis to repeal the Sherman law.
IF the Sherman law was a makeshift,so Is
this. The bill will never be heard from,
and I very much doubt If 1t is even re-
ported from the committee.

IVY CITY TODAY.
The Track Suffered for Want of En-
thusing Liquids.

The fine weather and the fact that it was
pay day in the government departments
slightly increased the attendance at Philan-
thropist Engemans highly moral winter
race meeting at Ivy City this afternoon,
about 700 or 500 people making the trip
The fact that there is in the District a
small army of touts, stable hangers on and
such characters, who have, of course. the
entry to the track, served to make the at
tendance seem larger than it really was.
While the weather was delightful, the track
good and the number of bookmakers was
Increased by six over yesterday, the man.
agement received a decidedly heavy blow
because of the refusal of the police author
tiles to allow the sale OF liquors TO con-
tinue without license.
An additional tent was erected near the
other lust outside the dead line or mile
init for the accommodation of the patrons
of the betting ring. House Mover Sears in

them to the hill on the back stretch of the

shells from the loyal guns.
The Herald's correspondent in Rio Janeiro
sends word of the firing on December 3 of
the rebel transport Madecia, which lay at
anchor in the harbor of Rio not far from
the shore, by PeiXoto's soldiers. A squad of
them early in the morning set out in
launches for the Madecia. Reaching her side
unobserved. they threw tow, soaked in kero-
sene oil, upon her decks. She was then ig-
nited and IN a few moments she was
sheeted in flames, and would soon have been
burned to the waters edge had not other
vessels of the rebel feet fired upon the
launches, obliging them to retire, and they
then extinguished the flames.
Peixoto has extended the state Of siege In
Rio to December %. Mello's ships outside
the bay are now blockading the harbors of

IN TERROR OF ANARCHISTS.
Practical Jokers in Paris Play Tricks
With Sham Bombs.

PARIS. Dec. 15.-The excitement growing
out of the threats Of alleged anarchists
continues. 1t is kept up in a measure by
the tricks Of practical jokers, who prepare
sham bombs of large dimensions and place
them at the doors of houses occupied by
aristocrats. Some Of these wicked-looking
bombs have been found to be stuffed with
nothing more dangerous than emery, which
resembles gunpowder and cotton. Their
discovery always creates terror. and the
police are kept busy in carting the things
off to the prefecture
One OF these sham affairs was left at the
house OF NJ De Rothschild, one of the great
bankers. 1t will go hard with these jokers
IL they fall into the hands Of the police.
The authorities have determined to close
the Maison Du Peuple. a resort for anarch-
lists and extreme socialists, II the incendiary
speeches made there are continued.
