City High School Abolished.

The board OF education Monday eve
voted to abolish the city high school
for the next term. The motion was
made by W. J. NewbOld. 1t carried
without dissenting vote.
This move was made purely 10 the
interest OF the county high school,
and is meeting with general approval
at the hands OF the citizens. 1t vir-
tually cOnsolidates the two schools
permanently. The board that night
abolished the city high school for
only one year, but there is no doubt
that If the county high school proves
a success the same action will be
taken year after year.
This leaves practically nothing in
the way OF the success OF the county
high school. The city schools will
continue under the able superintend-
ency Of Prof. Bear, and when the
students are ready for the finishing
touches Of their education they will
be sent to the county high school.
The board that night also voted to
have only eight months Of school next
term. 1t was considered unnecessary
to hold nine mynths term of school
in the grades on account of the hot
weather. Desirable school weather
usually begins two weeks later and
ends two weeks before the close
OF the nine months term of school.
School this year will begin Septem-
Der 20.
They recommended a levy of 10 mills
on all taxable property 10 the city for
the general fund, and 10 mills for the
bond and interest fund. This is a
saving OF ! mills in taxation over last
years mills on the general fund levy
and mills on the interest aud bond
fund levy. The board figured that it
will require $3.50 to run the CITY
schools eight months. Only So, 444
will have to be raised by taxation for
that purpose this year, as there is
considerable money left over in tie
general fund.
The resignation of Lannie French
as janitOr Of the First, Fourth and
Fifth ward school grounds, was ac-
cepted by the board. Mr.. French has
secured the janitOrship of the county
high school building, and for this rea-
son resigned his place with the city
schools.
The designations Of Prof. T. W.
Butcher, principal Of the city high
school, Prof. E. Kelley, first assistant
principal of the city high school, and
Miss Maude Price, third assistant
principal OF the city high school, were
accepted. Miss Prices resignation
was not before the board, but it was
acted upon for the reason that the
city high school had been abolished
and to allow Miss Price full liberty in
accepting her place with the county
high school.
j. NJ. Linn was elected janitor of
the First ward school at a salary of
$35 per month.
John Anderson was elected as iani.
tor ofthe Fifth ward school at a SAL
ary Of s25 per month.
No other business OF importance
was transacted by the board.

Reports Of Failure Of Canadian Vegetables
Are Pronounced False.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE officers of The

prised at the reports of the total failure
of the Canadian negotiations, which ap-
peared. today, in several morning news
papers. One of them said. today. ~;
That view is not taken by the govern
ment at Washington. The Representatives
of the Canadian government who hive
just left the city did not come to Wdsh-
ington with any expectation of concluding
any arrangement or treaty. during Their
brief stay. They entertained Views upon
the question Of the sealing reguiastpns
ton as to the views Of our government
upon the remaining questions which ttetf
preceding government In Canada had
failed to adjust. rs -
'The-o only fact correctly stated in the
publications referred to is that, under The
favorable Influences prevailing. the seal
experts agreed on report. This report

tom 1t goes without saying that Canada
is not disposed to make concession upon
the seals without some consideration to
Canada. What such concessions shall Be

SPAIN AND CUBAN TOBACCO.
6u!cher WsyIer's Unjust Decree Prohibiting
Exports Will Sc Revoked.

Washington. Nov. 1S.-Senor Deputy De
LONE. the Spanish minister. had a long
conference with Assistant Secretary Day
this morning. and it is believed that the
Spanish government is voluntarily about
TO remove another troublesome factor
from the field of negotiations in revoking
the decree made by Gen. Weyler. prohib-
iting the expectation of tobacco from
Cuba. This prohibition has worked great
hardship upon large American cigar
makers interests. and up to this time all
efforts of the state department to secure
an amelioratiOn of the harsh decree have
been unavailing. 1t now seems probable
that the decree will soon be vacated.
Reports come to Washington to the eff
feet that the new crop of tobacco that
will be ripe in February is not of excel
lent quality and amounts to four-fifths of
an average crop. Buyers for foreign con-
sumption are already in the field looking
over the plantations, and it is expected
that to facilitate the sales, the revocation
of the decree of prohibition will soon be
made.
