HIS FUN NOT ENDED.
Bogus Fire Aiarmist will Continue
His Pleasure This Afternoon.

Louis Schoen, a West Side laundry
man, was arrested last evening by
Lieutenant of Police Williams, of the
West Side precinct, on a charge of
having turned in a false fire alarm
from Box 3d. at the corner of Main
avenue and Jackson streets, Thursday
night. He was permitted to be at lib
erty on his own recogniZance until this
afternoon at o'clock, when he will be
given a hearing before Mayor Bailey.
Schoen, it is alleged, turned in the
alarm as q joke and for the purpose of
creating excitement at the Franklin
Engine company's ball, which was i'll
progress at the time near the corner
where Box So is located. The infor-
nation on which the warrant for
Sthoen's arrest was issued by Mayor
Bailey was made by Chief Hickey, Of
the fire department, who had obtained
his evidence through Lieutenant Will
liams.
1t was suspected Thursday night that
Schoen was the Culprit, but his arrest
was deferred until yesterday in order
that evidence against him might be
secured. Lieutenant Williams found
two witnesses who have reluctantly
admitted they stood near Schoen when
he broke the glass enclosing the box
key and sounded the alarm.
When Lieutenant Williams served
the warrant on Schoen at the Star
laundry. of which he is proprietor, he
admitted his guilt and seemed very
penitent. He said he was not wholly
conscious of what he was doing and
did not then realize the seriousness Of
his act; he only intended to give the
boys a run ana have some fun"

stand on the moving carriage, and, at

THIRTY DAY SUSPENSION
That is the Penalty Imposed Upon
Miss Martha Watkins.

In the case of Miss Martha Watkins,
the teacher at No. 13 school who was
suspended for entering house con-
tanning the body of a child who had
died from diphtheria, the law provides
that her suspension shall be for a
period of thirty days and that she
cannot he re-instated without a medi-
cal certificate of good health
1t appears that Miss Watkins was
not long in the house and that her in
discretion was perfectly innocent and
the result of thoughtlessness. Her act
consisted simply of entering the house
with a quantity of flowers, which she
left 10 be placed ON the coffin, and
standing near the door for a moment
while conversing with one Of the in
mates. However, she unwittingly COM
mitted, so school officials say, an Of
fonsC held grevious among school au-
thorities and they are reluctantly
obliged to enforce the penalty.
Since the incident was made known
through The Tribune, ii has been as
certained by several school controllers
that teachers in their schools had COM
mitted the same indiscretion but the
time nf doing so was so long ago that
all danger from contagion or infection
has been removed.

ter. The latter was struck several
times, ard ia the only American YES
sci reported damaged. At first the
Gloucester fred upon them with her

and engaged the battleships. Finding
the fire too hot. they turned and at
tackled the Gloucester again until both
dcstroyers were afire and had to be
beached. Their crews threw themselves
iEto the surf to save their lives. Just
before this the New York came up and

Washington, July president Nc

following proclamation to the Ameri-
can people:
At this time. when to the yet fresh
remembrance of the unprecedented
success which attended the operations
of the United States fleet in the Bay
of Manila are added the tidings of the
no less glorious achievements of the
naval and military arms of our beloved
country at Santiago de Cuba, ii is fit
ting that we should pause, and staying
the feeling of exultation that too nat
urally attends great deeds wrought by
our countrymen in our country's cause
should reyerently bow before the
throne of Divine grace and give de-
vout praise to God, who has thus far
vouchsafed to US the light of his face
and led our brave soldiers and seamen
to victory.
1, therefore, ask the people of the
United States, upon next assembling
for divine worship in their respective
places of meeting, to offer Thanksgiving
to Almighty God, who, in his inscrut-
the waters to unscathed triumph,
now guiding them in a strange land
through the dread shadows of death to
success, even though at fearful cost,
now bearing them without accident or
loss to far distant chimes, has watched
over our cause and brought nearer to
success of the right and the attainment
of just and honorable peace.

our gallant sons may be shielded from
harm alike on the battlefield and in
the clash OF fleets, and be spared the
scourge of suffering and disease while
they are striving to uphold their
country's honor. And, above all, let
US pray with earnest fervor that he,
the dispenser of all good, may speedily
remove from us the untold Affections
of war and bring to our dear land the
blessings of restored peace.

decisive vote of AZ to 81.
Early in yesterdays session of the
senate conferences OF the leaders on
both sides of the chamber were held,
and a tacit understanding was reached
that vote should be taken yesterday
or today at latest. The opponents OF
annexation practically had concluded
their arguments, and as they had no
desire to keep the senate in session by
purely dilatory tactics they announced
their willingness that a vote should be
taken as soon as Mr.. White, Mr.. Pet
tigrew and Mr.. Allen had finished their
speeches. MIR. Allen concluded to elm
mate a part of the matter he had pre-
pared. and at AIS he completed his
speech.
Finally, at $50 p. M, the resolutions
