There Is no Room.
The public schools of New York
opened with 225 900 boys and girls seat

additional pupils who must put up with
enforced idleness until repairs being

The work of converting three other
educational buildings into temporary
high schools has helped to swell the
army of neglected ones. New York :,

sight of nearly 20, 600 children roaming
the streets because there Ia no accom-
mediation for them.
The three new high schools opened.
At the Boys High School 500 pupils
were received. Six recitations were
heard. Principal Buchan" 7 made an
address, and Commissioners Taft, Nc
Sweeny and ,Montaut were there.

Prank of the Rio Grande.

Recent very heavy rains in Mexico
have filled, bank full, the San Juan,
M,er and SaladO rivers, and the rains
,u Hidalgo aud Zapata counties have
CAUSED Inc larges overflow known for
many years in the RIO Grsnde. The
tioOoeu bottom lands from Rio Graude
to Brownsville assure fine crop fol
next spring, while in the uplands the
far mers are again planting for q late
fall crop of corn and beans.
The current OF the Rio Grande ha.
changed just above Rio Graude City
and is now running through an an
cient river bed on the Mexican side,
leaving large "baLcO" or cut off OF
about 200 acres on the American
side. International complications may
arise, as this land seems once TO have
belonged to the United States and title

Go it Easy Pard.

Mr.. Huxley, of Fort Bliss, has writ
ten note Of.vlgorous expOstulatiOn re-
lative to 'joshing' article recently
printed in the HEHALD relative to
some alleged facetious attempts to
escape fatigue duty up on this hill.
Taking the matter in an entirely diff
ferent light from wh:ch the party fur
nishlng the information gave it, and
the spirit in which it was written. Mr.
Huxley scores with lively pen the style
of descriptive, and fairly wipes the
earth with the HERALD'S inform
ant.
Peace troubled soul, be aisy; and if
We can't be aisy, be as asy as We can.
No harm intended; no harm done. No

| riment at the fort, and on accoun: of
which the boys had guyed each other

Mr.. Huxley take super-SeriOus view
of it, but who doubtless on q second

see that there is no attack on ''sOldier-
ly honor" or any suggestion of an at

Huxley imagines, the American soldier
with the civilian. Any such idea is in
consistent with the HERALD'S recent
chrOnicling of the fine and soldierly
appearance of the Fort Bliss garrison
in last weeks parade.

Mexican Central DelOt,

Villa Ahumada is 10 more. Where
forty or more houses stood is now hill
locks of mud, leaving the Mexican Cen
trails wooden depot standing like a
souatter's cabin Gu u Ne oraska prairie.
The Mexican Central management sent
down u relief train from Juarez as al
ready noted in the HERALD, and
brought back last evening about 25O
refugees with their be Ongings. The
government paid for the train add the
refugees are encamped on the out
skirts of Juarez where they are being
cared for. The Central people put the
loss as to houses at $4,000, with losses
from drowned STOCK, ETC., amount

$4,000

Plaza Concert.

The weather was favora bic last night
and the band concert on the plaza " as
we'll attended. The McGinties turned
out with thirty-six men, with four at
sentees. The best received selection
of the evening was the Recollection of
Durango waltz, part of W oich was re-
peated in response to the encore. TIE
heaviest number of the evening, and
one of the heaviest the band has ever
played, the Overture to Semiramide
was very well received the horn quar-
tet after the first movement being q
noticeable feature. here were fe al S
| that the fourth horn player might let
his lip slip, but he managed to wiggle
through his part all right, while the
man who did make bull in the over
ture was the big tuba player who failed
| to atteLd the last practice. In playing
the Mexican National Hymn only part
of the band took their hats off. 1t
would have been gracious act of cour-
tesy had all the band removed their
caps and played standing.
The next concert by the McGinties
comes Friday night, and in view of the
warm reception of the sexte tie from
Lucia at the opera house by the E.
Paso public Saturday night, it would
not be amiss if the band played that
selection Friday: and the overture to
Fra Diavolo would also 60 we'll in lieu
of one of the lighter numbers in the
second part.

j. F. Abernethy, formerly an opera
tor with the Mexican Central, but of
late with the T. & =. at Fort Worth, is
now stationed at the terminal depot in
this city.
The first installment of locomotives
for the Mexican Central on the last or
der has left the Brooks works at Dun
kirk, N. Y, and will soon be showing
up in the Santa Fe yards.
A Santa Fe brakeman failed to dis
connect the bell cord in uncoupling an
engine the other day, and the result
was that the bell cord was wbippe d
through the train and three lamp
shades broken. That brakeman is
restiug easy for ten days-studying
the face of nature.
The absolute block system, by which
the management of the Santa Fe rail-
way hopes to do away with the Dos
sibility of collisions, has been placed
in effect on the line from Holiday to
Emporia land from Emporia to
Newton. If the system proves as
effective as it is expected, it
will be extended over the entire lines
of the company.
Mr.. McClintock, of the engineers
department of the Corralitos road, re-
turn.d last evening from an extended
surveying trip down near Casas
Grandes, and resumed his chair in the
McGinty band. The boys were glad
to see him back. Mr.. McClintock dis
covered remains of canals over 200
years old built, the natives said, by
MOcte yuma; and there were general in
dications of a widely extended system
OF local irrigation there.

The European Outlook.

OF recent events in Europe the Off.
cial announcement of the ''alliance''
between Russia and France, on the oc-
cas;on of the visit of President Faure
been the most sensational. But it may
we'll be questioned whether this event
has really changed the relations be-
tween the great powers of the Old
World sufficiently to justify the sensa-
ton it caused at the first moment. A
"friendly understanding" between
France and Russia has existed for
many years. To be sure, an alliance
means much more than a mere friend.
ly understanding. 1t involves a more
or less clear definition of the points the
understanding is about, and the as.
sumption by each party concerned OF
certain definite obligations toward the
other. biudin9 1t to act thus and so in
certain emergencies. A mere friendly
understanding may be changed or aban.
dored, as one party or the other may
change its views as to it's immediate or
remote interests, without any breach
of positive obligations. BY q formal
alliance the friendly understanding re-
ceives the character of matter of hon.
or, and thus much stronger warrant
of good faith and durability. But as
to it's objects the alliance need not 90
farther than the more Informal friend
ly understanding did, and it is eminent
ly probable that it does not go farther
in the present instance.
To France the open demonstration of
intimate friendship with Russia has
had q peculiar Importance ever since
her defeat in the Frauco-German war
The French republic found herself in q
state of distressing isolation, partly on
account of the issue of the war which
stripped her of much of her prestige At
a great power, and partly on account
of her republican institutions, at
which the monar chical governme nts
around her looked askance. BAG ked
by Russia she would be relieved of
that isolation; her prestige as q great
power would be heightened by the
combination with another great
power ard in the family of European
states the repub bile would be received on
an equal footing with the monarchies.
