THEY OPPOSE MILITARY DRILLS
Forty Representative of Peaceable Bodies
Want No Guns in School.

Forty Representative of Peaceable Bodies
Want No Guns in sehOoI.
Philadelphia, Pa June 25.-Some time
| ago. when the committee on the Central
High school informally discussed the
question of introducing military drills
| in the schools, il was stated that strong
objection to the pan existed among Ger
tain classes Of the people. Though
strongly favoring the drill, the commit
tee agreed that it would only be fair 20
give the opposition a hearing. There
| was a big surprise yesterday afternoon,
| the appointed time, when at least forty
representative of peace societies, phi
Ianthropic committees, Friends meet
ings and other organizations crowded
! into the council room 10 denounce a
system, which they held 10 be 1ncoE-
sistant with Christian principles. The
committee, somewhat taken aback by
the large number Of visitors. had to re-
quest that all speeches be as short and
concise as possible in order to get
through.
On behalf Of the Universal Peace
union, Charles Love led off by reading
long document. in which twenty-one
arguments against military drills were
set forth. The substance OF dt was that
the drills are calculated 10 foster a
harmful military spirit; that they VIE
lay the foundation for future large
standing armies. and that the use OF
firearms by persons OF irresponsible age
is dangerous. Mr.. Love declared that if
the drills were instroduced some par
ents would not allow their children to
take part, and there could be no har-
monious work in the schools.
a,-Ia % |, L. IF . Orthodoxy
ing, Fourth and Arch streets, outlined
the views of Friends on the subject. He
said that the drills would antagonize
sentiments OF kindness and Christian
love, besides inviting war.
Others presented much the same ar
guments. Miss Anna NJ. Gaskill OF Fir
teenth and Race streets Meeting, asked
the committee to bear in mind that Will
lam Penn organized the city of Phila-
delphia on plans of peace and good
faith, which should always be maintain
ed.
Among the others who spoke were
Samuel Emlin, Daniel l.. Gibbons, Esq,
Thomas II. Speakman, Allen FHtcraft,
Samuel Jones, Samuel Ash, Rev. w l..
Bull, DR.. Joseph l. Smith, Joseph 5.
Elkins and Thomas Walters. The lat
ter, who was formerly a member of the
board of education thought that while
the drills might be started without cost
to the city, they would gradually de-
velop until the incidental expense would
be no snan item.
Lewis +. Schuch, OF the Turner'S So
ciety, asked the committee to provide a
gymnasium at the school instead of
wasting energy in trying to bring about
physical perfection through military
drills. He was informed that there
would be a gymnasium in the new
building, and Withdrew his objections.
The committee viii hold another
meeting to hear the arguments Of those
who favor the Introduction of the drills.
Among the most ardent supporters OF
the system is Robert Ellis Thompson,
president of the High school, who has
written a letter in its behalf.

selected for the opening.
AN OVATION TO MIR. TABOR.
The admirers OF Tabor's enterpsire or
that occasion presented him with a
splendid specimen of the jewelers. art
in the shape OF massive gold fob chain
with miners basket pendent. and rep
resentations of his log store in Califor-
MIA gulch, the Tabor building and the
Tabor Opera house, with ladders on
each side TO represent his climb from
comparative poverty TO affiuence.
The house was at that time justly re-
garded as one Of the finest in the United
States and was favorabiy compared IN
point Of beauty with the Grand opera
al Paris and other celebrated Thespain
temples. IT was packed, and when Mr..
Tabor appeared TO express his acknow-
Judgements for the splendid attendance
he was greeted with a roar of applause
that caused the great chandelier TO
rattle. For several years it was the
only place of amusement IN Denver
worthy of the name and returned a
hundsome income on the cost-more
than s500,001
With,the history Of the property since
the owner found II necessary 10 raise
money thereon for the conduct OF his
many and widely scattered mining en-
terprises, the heroic struggles TO save
the property, the long period Of htiga-
ton now drawing to close, the public is
well acquainted, and there are few
familiar with the circumstances VINO do
not sincerely regret the disaster that has
befallen the man who is beyond question

REVISED THE STATEMENT.

London, Feb. 23.-The Standard In
derSTauds that the attorney general.
Sir Richard Webster, has reversed the
statement of the British case on the
Venezuelan dispute prepared by Sir
Frederick Pollock. If oxford univerSi-
ty. and that it will be issued early
next week with maps ana documents.
1--WE believe says the Standard,
that the government regard the Brit
iSh ease as historically unaSsailabie,
although the diplomatic aspect is by
no means free from confusion"
The Standard also has an editorial
on this subject which, recognizing the
Impeachment between England ard
America, protests against undue haste
in settling the Venezuelan dispute. It
Commonds the government for going
slowly. and believes that the Amerl-
can government is equally circum-
Spcct. The Standard also claims au-
thOrity to assert that President Cleve-
land has refused to assist President
Crespo in re~instating England's claim
for indemnity, and it thinks that the
fact that the Washington government
has brought Sir Julian Pauncefote,
the British ambassador in Washing
ton. into direct communications with
Senior Andrade, the Venezuelan min
lister, is hopeful for the resumption OF
relations between England and Ven
CZuela.
