PAY OF THE PEDAGOGUEs.
Commissioned Glenn Tells Why the
state Is Tardy.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. Eight thousand
public school teachers are making State
School Commissioner Glenns life a bur-
den because they have not been paid the
third quarters salary. Mr. Glenn gets
fifty letters a day about it and has been
doing his best without saying anything,
but now he says it is time to tell the
plain truth.
THE third quarters salary, due Oct.
1, has not been paid" said he, for the
simple reason that there is not enough
money in the treasury. 1t takes about
$3.50 900 to pay them and there Is some
thing over 100000 in the treasury, with
81 600 a day going out for the legislature
and coupons to meet, besides other ex~
penses of the government. A month ago
the governor and the treasurer tried to
borrow the money. but they said in sub
stance: We don't want to lend any
money to you silver cranks before the
election. We will probably be glad to DO
so afterwards, but not now The gov
ernor and the treasurer are at work upon
it again and they expect to get the money
this week"

SANTA FEE RECEIvERsHIP.
The Case Transferred TO the United
states Court.


Oskaloosa. Kan. Nov. 9.-The proceed
ings against the Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany. wherein it was sought to throw its
property located in Kansas in the hands
Of a receiver, took an unexpected and in
teresting turn to-day. The case was taken
out Of the jefferson county court and
transferred TO the United States court to
be heard by Judge Foster The case was
also taken out of the hands Of County At
torney Phinney of jefferson county, who
brought the suit by the action of Gov. Nor
rill, who Issued an order instructing the
attorney general to take charge of the
case. General Solicitor Kenna of the
Santa Fe, Solicitor Hurd of the Kansas
division, Solicitor Dunlap of Illinois, and
exIChief Justice A. II. Horton came over
to Oskaloosa to-day and took the first
legal steps taken on behalf of the Santa
Fe. They filed their petition and bond and
secured a writ transferring the case from
the district court of Jefferson county to
the United States court. The federal
point raised by them was the fact that
inasmuch as all the provisions ordered by
the United States court in the former re-
ownership matter had not yet been COM
piled with and the master in chancery dis
charged, the road Is yet in the hands OF
the United States court and hence no suit
against it could be brought in any district
court.
The action of Gov. Morrill, in instructing
the attorney general to take charge of the
case was the most sensational OF to-day's
developments. 1t was entirely unexpect-
ed so it is said, by County Attorney
Phinney 1t takes the matter entirely out
of his hands, and makes the controversy
now between the state exclusively and
the road. If. as is rumored. there is any
scheme back of the case the governors
action nips it in the bud 1t is under
stood that the governor and attorney gen.
eral are not in sympathy with the pur-
poses OF the suit; that they believe it not
founded on law and against good public
policy.
Solicitor kenna. in discussing the mat
ter, said: Il have no fear at all about the
final outcome of this case. 1 am anxious
that it be speedily tried and we will meet
it on its merits The alien land law, un
der which the proceedings were brought,
was never intended to apply to railroads,
and I have no fear but what the courts
will so decide"

ia and West Point railroad, was examined

SEIZURE OF THE THREE FRIENDS.
A Trip TO Meet the DauntIess at the
bottom of 1t.


Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 9.-The steamer
Three Friends, seized Sunday for viola
ton Of the neutrality laws, is still in
charge of Lieut.. Hilditch of the revenue
cutter Boutwell, The captain Of the
steamer has not been informed upon what
definite charge his boat is being held, and
will make application tomorrow to the
Secretary of the Treasury for the re-
lease of the Three Friends. At the Gus
tom house II is stated that it is believed
that the seizure was ordered on account
of the Three Friends going out to meet
the Dauntless, which left Fernandina
Saturday afternoon. The Three Friends
carried out a deck load of coal and re-
turned with her hold filled with light
wood. The Kate Spencer, it is said, also
met the Dauntless in Cumberland sound.
It was published here this morning that
the meeting of the three vessels was pre-
liminary to a filibustering trip to Cuba,
and the Dauntless was reported en- route
for the island. 1t is stated that the Three
Friends was seized because she met the
Dauntless and ii is alleged transferred
some mysterious boxes to the latter YES
sci. There is a considerable mystery
about the matter, and the Cuban leaders
here seem greatly disappointed over the
turn affairs have taken.

cial standing, and they brought suit for
$4,000
The plaintiffs allege that in 1894 the
defendants had a notice in their report to
customers as follows: Maier & Berkele-
NJ. Berkele filed real estate deed "a, 100"
They claim that NJ. Berkele had no con-
nection with the firm of Maier & Berkele,
and that the notice printed in that way
injured them as merchants.
They claimed, further that it was done
maliciously The defendants did not deny
the publication of the notice, but contend
ed that 1t was done inadvertently and
without any intention of injuring the
plaintiffs
