INDIANAPOLIS, June 14.-The supreme
court affirmed the prison directors case.
1t came up from Laporte county, where
the circuit court decided against the gov
ernor in the contention over the appoint
ing power in the matter of the selection of
trustees for state prisons The law Of the
last legislature delegated to board of of
ncers the right to appoint the directors.
The governor refused to recognize the law,
holding that the legislature might create
an Office. but had no power to fill it. Tho
court holds against him in all the material
allegations, and Charles Harley, warden
OF the northern prison, according to tho
boards selection, will succeed J. w.
French. The case applies with equal force
to the prison south, and the Republican
nominee of the board will succeed Patteu
there.

Oh forged paper hold by various New York
banks upon which tho Endorsement is
forged. The principal maker of the notes
is the East River Silk company, q small
concern located near Astoria. Tho treas

forgeries, was at one time an employs of
lnman, Swan 81 Co. His name is Albert
3. Moore, and he Is now In custody.
Moore, who is 80 years old and super
intendent of Harlem Sunday school,
was formerly employed as bookkeeper
by lnman, Swan & Co., one of the largest
cotton brokerage firms In the country
Last November he was disco ged on nc
count OF some Irregularities which were
discovered in his books, but the members
OF the firm stated today that Moore was
not accused of dishonesty. He is married
and the father of four children. He moved
in good society.
During his connection with the firm he
was also tho treasurer of the Astoria CON

present time he still retained that posi-

replies in the negative to the demand OF
che Ottawa government that separate
schools be re.established in tho province,
as commanded in the order presented to
the legislature last April. This reply was
presented to the legislature yesterday af-
ternoon, and states in effect:
We are compelled to respectfully state
20 your exeelleacy in council that wo can.
not accept the responsibility OF carrying
into effect the terms Of remedial order.
Objections upon principal may be taken
TO any modification of our educational
statutes which would result in ths estab.
lishlnent OF one or more sets of separate
schools. Apart even from objection on
principle, there are serious objections from
practicable educational standpoint. We
labor under great difficulties In maintain.
ang an efficient SYSTEM Of primary educa.
tton. The school taxes bear heavily upon
our people. The large amount of land
which is free from school taxes and tho
great extent Of country over which our
small population Is scattered presents OBJ
stacles to efficiency and progress.
The reforms effected In 1890 have given
an impetus to educational work, but the
ulfiicuities which were inherent in our
circumstances have constantly to be met
at will be obvious that the establishment
OF set of Roman Catholic schools, fol-
lowed by set of Anglican schools, and
possibly Mennonite and Icelandie schools,
would SO emasoulate our present system
shat any approach to over our present gen.
eral standard of efficiency would bo quite
impossible. We have no hesitation in say
tng that there cannot be suggested any
measure, to our minds, that would more
seriously imperil the development of our
province"
1t Is held that any action of the parlia-
ment of Canada looking to the restora-
sion OF Roman Catholic privileges must,
TO be OF real substantial benefit, bo sup.
plemented by the voluntary action Of the
provincial Legislature
The reply expresses willingness to reim-
bnrse Catholics If any injustice has been
done in the matter Of private church funds
invested.
