Russia to Build More Ships.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 1O.-An i'm
perial ukase just issued orders the disburse-
ment of 100000 roubles as extraordinary
expenditure for the construction of war
ships. 1t is added that no loan will be
raised to provide the money. In official
calculations, according to the statemans
year book, $40 roubles are considered
equivalent to the British pound sterling. In
an imperial rescript to the minister of
finance, M. S. J. Devitto, accompanying
the ukase, the Car says:
''In considering the possibility of assign
ing so large a sum at one time without
recourse to loan, I am induced to point
out that the disbursement now contem-
plated has been preceded by very consider
able payments from unallocated cash in
the treasury for other items of extraor-
binary expenditure. During your admins
tration the ordinary receipts have exceeded
the ordinary expenditures by more than Co.,
100000 roubles. Consequently, the greater
part of the extraordinary expenditure is
covered without an appeal to the imperial
credit

TRENTON, April q, 1S9S.-The Hudson
County Investigating Committee is at
an end. This was learned yesterday on
the very best of authority. Governor
Voorhees, has not received an opinion from
the Attorney General, but it is well known
that both the Governor and Attorney Gem
eral believe that the Lexowers are with
out any further legal existence. 1t is said
that the Attorney General will not give
any formal opinion to the Governor on
the subject.
1t is pretty generally believed that Sena-
tor Engle's omnibus game bill, passed by
the recent Legislature. is doomed because
Governor Voorhees, has freely expressed
the opinion that the present law has not
had a fair trial. Ihe governor Is opposed
to having the game laws upset at every
session of the Legislature, and further
than this he is opposed to certain Sec
ions of the Engle bill.
Another bill that seems certain to be
p~igeonholed is the Teachers Retirement
Fund measure. known as Senate No. ".

they insisted on State aid, he would sign
the bill. They went right ahead. however,

S1y " Daf hHnPpPuf4
The Greenville Republican League Club
held a meeting last evening in the club
house on Danforth venue near the
Boulevard. Nothing very startling de-
veloped, as some were led to believe, or
at least 1t did not leak out. It will be
remembered that the club at the last
meeting decided to throw over the So
called Republican bosses and would in the
future run as an Independent organiza-
ton. It is very certain that something
more was lone in the matter, but the
members remained mrm on the subject.
1t was quite evident that the member
at the meeting were given careful inStruc-
tions not to talk about the matter, as the
leaders of the club are very anxious to
keep it quiet for a while. This was lone
because The News last week published
everything that developed at the meet
ing and the ones that are behind the deal
ing and what transpired was told so ac-
curately. Many of the members when
questioned about the meeting, said that
they had nothing to say, but that some
later.
A member of the Mlnkakwa Republican
club. when spoken to about the action
of the League Club, said thar if that club
had finally decided to run as an indepen-
dent organization and supper Democratic
candidates at times. why the club would
violate the harmony agreement which
was passed by both Clubs some time ago.
.'Tha club he said, will never get any
patronage If what I hear about them is
true and why they want to run as an in
dependent organization is past my COM
prehension."
The League people think differently
about the matter and say that it would
be impossible to get any less than what
was coming their way just at present.
From the present outlook it is uncertain
whether there will ever be can be
called perfect harmony in that ward. One
thing is certain and that is that the
Seventh ward will not go Republican for
do remain on the outs, for the Democrats
have greatly strengthened their party in
that ward.

DR.. Doherty Tells the Sunday
School Institute How to
Make Classes Sue
e~essful.

The greater portion of last nights ses-
sion of the Sunday School Institute, held
in Emory N. e. Church, was devoted to
conferences in the various ante-rooms,
led by recognized authorities on the diff
ferent branches of the work. The con-
ference on infant class work was led by
Mrs. B. f. Wakefield, that of teachers of
senior classes by DIR. r. r. Doherty and
that for teachers of adult classes by the
Rev. E. Morris Ferguson, secretary of
the State Sunday School Association.
The greatest interest was shown in the
conference led in the main room by DR..
Doherty. Over one hundred persons list
ened to him or engaged in the discussions
which he started. He said he was in
favor of object lessons in the classes and
he advised the use of seeds, acornS,
threads, nails or other objects from which
illustration might be drawn. 1t is easy"
he said, TO associate with little things
great thoughts. In his leisure moments
the teacher should think of the things
which he always alludes to as topics.
Keep the girls and boys interested and
Keep their feet and hands from going
where they should not. Give them some
thing to do at home during the week so
as to keep their minds on the Sunday
school lesson
DIR. Doherty suggested that an excellent
way in which to keep the pupils interest
eQ is TO make tnem draw maps, eSpeSl-
ally of the Holy Land He you'd have
the teachers find out which of the pupils
are proficient in MAJ drawing in the day
schools and get them to draw large maps
for the use of the classes. He would also
them get the pupils to collect histor-
lcal pictures and form a class portfolio.
He said he would not advise them to Sc
lect pictures from the New York Even
ing Journal"
The dramatic in children should be
cared fol-" said the speaker. Almost
every story i'm the Bible has some dra-
matte feature which can be brought out
to advantage by a skillful eacher. DR..
Doherty also spoke of the advantages of
blackboard exercises. The matter Of how
and it was decided hat it is best to as
certain the cause by means of a letter.
The pupils should be visited in their
homes as often as possible. 1t was de-
cided that a general religious application
should be made of each lesson but that
personal appeals should be made in
private.
J. v. Forster made a brief address. The
religious service which preceded the reg
ula session was led by the Rev. Warren
Hoagland.
