said Keppel was then principal of the
Harper school, and Is now principal of
the Union avenue school in said city
That for the purpose of inducing the
said Keppel to pay the said sum to them
the said Adams told said Keppel that
he, Keppel was in danger of losing his
place as principal, and that the matter
might be fixed, and that in order to fix
it the said Keppel should go to the said
Axtell, and that the said Axtell had
superior sources of information" re-
lating to the said matter. That said Ak
tell, acting in collusion with said Adams,
told said Keppel that he. the said KEEP
pei, in order to save his position as a
principal in said schools must pay there
for one months salary, being the sum
Of one hundred and twenty dollars.
That said Keppel, under the pressure Of
said representations by said Axtell.
was about to pay said sum; that at
that period-being during the week pre-
ceding the said annual election of teach
ers-the said Keppel consulted with T..
J. Phillips and II. B. Emery, school
principals in said city, and learned that
each of those principals, as well as
others, were being subjected to similar
corrupt suggestions connected with
the tenure of their positions. That it
was agreed by and between the said
principals, or some of them, including
said Keppel, that they would refuse to
pay anything for their said positions,
and they did so refuse.
Said evidence further indicates that
the said Adams and Axtell made SINH
lar statements and approaches to other
school principals and teachers in said
city than the said Keppel That among
the teachers so approached at the period
above mentioned were:
II. J. PHILLIPS, principal of the Sen
tous street school.
r. .B. EMERY, principal of the Eighth
street school.
C. e. LATHAM, a teacher in the Sen
tous street school.
E.P. ROWELL, principal of the West
Vernon school.

been submitted to us of the facts above
referred to has been put into the form
of affidayits, and warrants us in calling
the attention of the board to the matters
in question We therefore submit here

ing the situation in Crete, and the motion
was seconded by John Dillon, the leader
of the Irish Nationalists.
Right Hon. A. ]. Balfour, First Lord of
the Treasury and the Government leader
in the House, opposed the motion, and in
the course of his remarks said that there
was unanimous agreement among the
powers to avoid war. The great powers
of Europe moved with the greatest caution
tc avoid war, and such fears were illu-
sorry. The united forces we're response
BILE for peace, and the naval action which
they took at Canea yesterday was forced
upon them in the interests of peace.
Balfour expressed hope that the debate
on Labouchere's motion would stop where
it was, as II would not serve the interests
of Europe, nor would it benefit Greece or
Crete.
Sir Vernon Harcourt, leader of the oppo-
sition, said the country wanted to know
If the Government was acting upon their
old formula, the integrity of the Ottoman
empire, and if they were doing so he pro-
tested against it. To detsch Crete from
the rule of the Turk was the only policy
worthy of Great Britain, and he hoped
that such a policy would be pursued. The
Liberals in the House of Commons, he de-
cIared. would optinue to protest against
any other policy until the emancipation

to an animated debate in the House of
Commons yesterday over the Cretan ques-
ton, says:
The British public is becoming daily
more incensed over the Eastern question.
Yesterdays bombardment led by British
ships has brought the popular temper
almost to the boiling point. 1t will not
require much more to cause such an out
burst of public protest as will in effect
take the matter out of the hands of Lord
Salisbnry's Government.
Already it is necessary to appeal every
day and hour'to the popular fear of gen.
eral war in order to prevent the force Of
public opinion from breaking all usual
| bounds.
| This is RAPIDLY becoming Intellectual. A:
a matter of fact Lord Salisb bury, rightly ol
wrongly, has no expectation that war viii
develop from the present situation.
1t follows that the grewsome language
used in the House of Commons regarding
the dangers of the crisis is designed solely
to quell the public resentment against the
execrable policy whiuh the Government
/ thinks it necessary to adopt.
NJ. Hanotaux in the Chamber of Depu
ties yesterday also succeeded temporarily
in quieting French opposition to the dis
graceful policy which the powers are pur
suing.

Prior to the introduction of Labouchere's IS
motion to adjourn, George N. Curzon.
Under Secretary, stated that the procla-
nation issued by Colonel Vassos, COM
manding the Greek troops in Crete, had
promised peace to the inhab abitants of the
island. So far, however, the presence OF
the Greek troops in Crete had had an
opposite effect, aud it was extremely un-
likely that the powers would delegate to
Greece the duty of keeping peace between
the Moslems and the Christians in that
island. The international squadron. he
declared, had no option but to forcibly
prevent the insurgents from making an
attack upon Canea as they had done IN
August. Cries of "Oh"' and "Shame!'']
H. Campbell who was Sec

Rosebery, asked that the House be fur

which had been given to the admiral
commanding the British warships at
Canea, and said that the House would be

bound him to do anything which the con-
certed European powers directed.

WHEAT RECEIVERS
LOST GROUND
The Bull Pool Made Its Strength APP
sarent in September.
CORN HAS BEEN EVEN MORE ACTIVE
December Advances 3 Cents Partly
on Account of the Upward Rush of
September-- Unusually
Strong.- shows a Decline
at the Beginning.

Chicago, Aug. 25.--Nearly all of yes
terday's decline in the grain pits was
recovered today. The bull pool made
its strength apparent in September
wheat and advanced that option five
cents per bushel while December ad-
vanced three cents, partly on account
of the upward rush of September, but
principally on account of the bulish-
ness of the days news. Corn was even
more active than wheat and closed at
a 1haAc. advance. Oats advanced lac.
Provisions were unusually strong and
showed advances ranking from 12l2 to
80 cents at the close.
How strong a hold the bull clique had
on September wheat was shown soon
after the opening today. The opening
was decidedly strong, though this was
due more to the bullish nature of the
early news than to Squeezing" Sep
tember was quoted at the opening at
from 931a to 93% compared with yes
terday's closing price of 91& and
touched 94 almost Immediately after
1t dropped back to 921a and then it was
that the spurs were put in. Offerings
of September ceased almost altogether
the bull crowd apparently sure of their
position, standing pat" and the price
jumped and kept jumping until about
II o'clock it had reached 81 cents
Traders in December had not been idle
in the meantime. That option started
at 91a911a, an advance of AaA from
yesterday, touched 92 cents, went back
to 901a, then went on the run to "a.
There was a slight interval of weak
ness about an hour from the opening,
when the New York market yielded,
but the slight decline occasioned was
quickly recovered.
Liverpool showed a decline to begin
with, from Sd. to 31ad., but recovered
part of that later. The market was
extremely nervous to the end. Fluc-
tuations of 12c. per bushel in Septem-
Der between trades were frequent, and
December made jumps and plunges of
Ac. without apparent reason beyond
attempts of brokers to buy or sell more
than 10000 bushels at time. The con-
tinental markets were weak. Paris
closed at a decline in wheat of from
17s to 25s per bushel and Antwerp was
l franc down, or the equivalent of 81
per bushel. Liverpool closed I'd. per
Genital lower for the day on spot and
from 23s to 234 down on futures. Clos
ing prices here were: September, 96A !;
December, 93A.
