An adjourned meeting of the Board OF
Education was held last night for the pur-
pose OF settling with Mcdonald 4 Book for
the construction of the Lincoln school build.
ing. There was an evident desire on the
part of certain democratic members to stick
the contractors for $40 a day for failure to
complete the work according to the time
specified in the contract, while on the other
hand the republican members present were
opposed to any radical action in this re-
spect. -
After report from Architect Davis which
showed that the board should be allowed cer-
tain sums for material not used, ETC., Bren-
nan brought up the $40 a day matter and
at the suggestion Of one Of the members
recess was declared in order to give the
building and grounds committee an oppor-
tunity Of comforting with the architect and
the contractors. This committee brought in
report recommending that $120 be de-
Quoted from the final estimate for material
not used on account of change of plans
and 5000 be deducted for failure to complete
the building in question at the time specified
in tho contract. This made total of $500.
AS no one appeared willing to second the
adoption Of the report the matter was, after
considerable discussion, laid over until the
regular meeting, when It is expected that
all Of the members win be present. 49,
Ed Munshaw was in with a proposition to
lease the lots owned by the school district
on Twenty-seventh street just east Of the
Union Pacific depot. He offered $40 per
month per lot This question was debated
at considerable length. President Roberts
held that the sum offered was too small. He
thought that much more could be obtained
in case the board decided to enter into a
lease. Attorney Nolan was instructed to
draft lease with the amount Of the rental
left blank and the matter will come UP
again when the papers are prepared
Member Brennan reported having had 4
hard time checking up the coal bills rem
dered by Peter Lenagh 1t was asserted
that the coar delivered to the school build
ings had not all been weighed over the city
scales as the contract called for. Further
than this, some Of the janitors reported
that mine run coal instead of lump had
been delivered. President Roberts wanted
to know If such action on the part of the
| contractor would not warrant the board in
| annuling the contract. Attorney Nolan
| stated in reply to the question that IL the
kind OF coal specified had not been deliv-
cred it should be refused by the janitors,
and it is likely that instructions to this
effect will be issued. All coal accepted from
this time on win have to have the certificate
Of the city weighmaster or it will be re-
fused. On account Of the inability of Mr..
Brennan to untangle the snarls in connec-
tion with the claim OF MIR. Lenagh without
some further Information from the ianitors
the bill was sent back to the finance COM
mittee. %.
No school will be held on Thanksgiving

But If the time should ever come when
China is to be divided Japan will do nothing
more than to attempt peaceably to put off
the event as long as possible. When the
inevitable comes there are but two courses
for my country to pursue. Either IL must
keep out OF the game entirely or else 1t
must push itself forward and make claim
TO Chinese territory as other nations will
do think 1t will pursue the latter course"
Minister Komura talked entertainingly OF
the marvellous progress his country has
made during the last score Of years in every
way. He was emphatic in stating that
this progress is very largely due to the ex-
ample set by this country and to the Ameri
cans who have employed their energy and

What The Bachelor Says.

A girl is always ready to look as if
she was in love with any man who
will take her to the theatre.
When a girl really feels dressed,
she gets afraid to do anything sud-
denly for fear her clothes won't set
right.
When you devil a woman she will
always smile like she enjoyed it till
you get near enough to reach. A cat
acts the same way.
Every woman thinks she can make
a man happy, and every man thinks
he can fix the drawer in the kitchen
table so it won't stick.
When a girl can't buy piece of
ribbon without wondering whether a
certain man will like it, it is time for
her to begin to wear things she knows
he hates.

of scratches he was not injured. His
escape is considered miraculous.
ONE thing shown by the fire last
night was that the fire plugs should

going to cost the town a good deal.
The plugs should be flushed at least
once week or often enough to keep
them in good working order.

STOCKS TAKE A DROP
Revival Of Apprehension Concern
ing Cuban Situation.
General Market Dulf Throughout and
Stagnant at Times, Breaking Bad
~ Before the Close.

New York, March 1.-THE one develop
ment in the dominant Cuban situation
today was the intimation of the morn
ing newspapers that the report of the
Board of Inquiry upon the cause of the
Maine disaster might be made public
early next week. This was enough,
however, to redirect attention to the sub
iect and its dangerous character was
recognized, whereas yesterday the dis
position was apparent to regard it as in
u fair way of settlement. Besides the
revival of approximations in respect to
the Cuban situation, there was general
disappointment at the failure of the pas
senger agents to come to some agree
ment at their meeting by which the
Northwestern rate war could be ended.
This last matter, in fact, was more eff
fective in unsettling the London mar
ket than was the Cuban situation and in
addition to furnishing lower prices for
American stocks this morning, London
had been selling in this market. These
orders were not of themselves heavy
enough to influence prices, but coupled
with the stated uneasiness on the part of

opening, from which there was little re-
coyery. Important but quite Intellectual
developments of the day were additional
engagements of gold, which brought the
total engagements for shipment to New
York since February % to over $25 000,-
600. and some handsome gains in traffic
returns, in which the st. Paul Company
made a notable showing
Counting the gold engagements con-
signed to the Pacific Coast, the total in
the period named is in excess of $50 000,-
600. There were several sharp retro
grade movements in the market, particu-
larly in those stocks which had advanced
rapidly yesterday. Metropolitan Street
Railway and American Tobacco were
notable examples, and Sugar Refining,
which was only steady yesterday today
was very weak. Declines in the rail-
way list In excess of one point were COM

The general market was dull through
out and at times was stagnant and broke

The American Congress and the Amer

Every incident of the past fortnight has
simply accentuated the feeling that war
IS inevitable and every word that comes
from Cuba inforces the argument that
the time is at hand for this Government
to forcibly interfere TO end the unholy
war now being prosecuted upon a de-
fenseless people by the Spanish mon
sters who are in control. The latest
testimony to convince the Congress IF
the United States that the time had come

There is an impression at the Capitol
that the report Of the Naval Court

into the causes which led to the destruc-
ton Of the battleship Maine, win not
