LONDON, Feb. 25.-It was probably
not without design that the appearance
of DR.. Jameson for arrangement in the
Bow street police court was delayed
all through the day There was a dis
position to hilarity manifest in the 10
cality of the court from an early
morning hour. and it was evident that
there was set purpose pervading the
London masses to give DIR jim" an
ovation.
The British authorities desire as far
as possible to give no appearance of
encouraging such demonstration of
approval of citizen who has been
handed over to them by a power
against which he sought to wage war.
in the faith that Great Britain will
SEE JUSTICE DONE
TO him and will properly avenge the
outrage done to a friendly power
But the British government is we'll
aware that though Dr. Jameson is
brought to England for trial as a
criminal, he is, in the popular eye, a
hero, and his raid into the Transvaal.
far from being viewed as a political
enterprise. is looked upon as a chival-
rous and knightly adventure to succor
hard pressed friends and fellow coun-
trymep. 1t was for this reason that
the crowds about Bow street police
court were kept waiting and every
thing possible done to make mystery
of the movements of Dr. Jameson.
1t was hoped the ardor of his admir-
ers would be cooled by the long wait
and the noisy mob waiting to cheer
him would grow weary and depart.
But all this strategy
WAS WITHOUT AVAIL.
The people insisted upon waiting.
They grew impatient and somewhat
irritable, to be sure, and many rumors
circulated among them that they had
been duped into coming to Bow street,
while the distinguished prisoner had
been quietly smuggled into another
court and there arraigned and quietly
'bailed. 1t did not take long, however.
to prove the falsity of these runors,
and the crowd renewed its vigil with
zest.
AT S:15 p. m. the faith of the crowd
that they had not been waiting in vain
was quickened by the arrival at Bow
street police court of a party of arts
tOcratic friends of Dr. Jameson.
Among these were the Duke of Aber- !

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Represen-
tative Broderick, of Kansas, today
made a favorable report on Mr. AL
1sns resolution providing for the dis
position of certain property now in
the hands of the Mormon church.
The committees report, which is
brief, says they believe that Che OBJ
ject Of the anti-polygamy law has
been accomplished, and that the prac-
tioe of polygamy in Utah has been
abandoned. and that it would be no
more than Justice to an industrious
people TO restore the property which
they had donated to the church.
Representative Allen, today, appear
ed before the house committee on pub
lie lands, and succeeded in striking
out of McRae's bill for the sale of
pubic lands valuable for building
stone. the word 'asphaltum."
If the bill had passed with
'.asphaltum'' added, it would have
been great injustice to Utah, as the
bill contains special provision that
lands within the Uintah and Uncom-
pahgre reservations containing as
phaltum should be subject to entry
until congress had otherwise provid-
ed for them, and. of course, they would
not receive THE benefit of this act.
Representative Allen will be given
nearing by the committee on pen
sions Thursday on the senate bill in
creasing the pension of General Kim
ball ito 500 per month.
Mr.. Alien presented a petition of
Sherman post No. 6, of Provo, Utah,
asking for the passage of a service
pension law.

"A Decision Expected on Friday.
Especial to The HERALD.


OGDEN. Feb. 25.-The board Of edu-
cation held one of the most protracted
and exciting sessions in the history OF
the present board tonight.
1t was a special meeting, called to
consider sensational charges which
have been preferred against Samuel
Doxey, principal of the Grant Avenue
! school It was an executive session,
held behind closed doors, but adjacent
rooms and corridors were thrOnged
with citizens and pupils of the schools.
Proceedings were kept secret, but
enough was learned from witnesses
and others to give fair idea of what
was going on.
A Mrs. Hilliard is said to have
STARTED THE MATTER
by reporting a remark by a little girl
pupil to the effect that the principal
was in the habit of making himself I'M
duly familiar with the larger girls of
his classes. Gossip bruited matters
about, and very serious charges were
made against the principal. Among
others is a report that he is in the
habit of taking the girls to his office
and exhibiting unnecessary affection.
Finally the superintendent took the
matter up, and the formal charges
resulted. At least twenty witnesses must
have been examined many of them
pupils of the principal Several of the
teachers testified. The teachers whose
rooms are in such portion of the build
ing as would give them an opportunity
of observing his conduct are Miss Lit
tlefeld, Mr. Thomas. Miss Link, Miss
Steller and Miss Hayes.
The first two are known to have
favored Doxey in their testimony
EXCITEMENT RAN HIGH
in the corridors while the investiga-
tion was going on. The lines are
sharply drawn between the opponents
and the friends of the principal. Some
assert that it was an agitation to get
his position. Others believed the
charges. On Monday a petition was
circulated among the pupils asking
that Mr. Doxey be not discharged 1t
received numerous signers The dis
cussion brought up again the circum-
stances of the fire scare at the school
last fall, when the principal, in order
to make the fire drill more effective,
burned some powder on the basement
floor and came near causing disas-
trous panic.
The board spent from 7:3O till IL in
the examination of witnesses After
that Mr.. Doxey spoke in his own be-
half and controversy of great length
between him and the superintendent
occurred. 1t was u o'clock when the
board adjourned, having taken the
matter under advisement till next Fri |
day night. when a decision will be
rendered. Doxey has numerous friends |
who maintain his innocence on all the |
charges of indiscretion.
