A RISI G TIDE.

Washington, ID. c., March IS.
The court of inquiry's report
was submitted to congress today
accompanied by IL message from
President Mckinley.
The court reviews the stay of
the Maine in'IIavana harbor, notes
the finding of no evidence of care

internal explosion until after an
original external explosion and
finds the following verdict: 'In

was destroyed by an explosion of
n submarine mine which caused a
partial explosion of two or more
of her forward magazines. The
court has been unable to obtain
evidence fixing the responsibility

III Is UNLAWFUL.
Public Schools Cannot Charge
Pupils Incidental Fees.
The State.

i llc cldIc.
1t appears to have been custo-
mary for some time for the public
schools of the State to charge a
small Incidental fee Of 10 cents =
week, o" 81 year. Frequently
the patrons complain that this is
II pcrvcrsion of the public school
law and that the trustees have no
right 10 impo," this fee. Is a pub
lie school should he free IN fact
as well as in name.
The State superintendent of ed
ucatlon recently received q letter
from the superintendent OF the
Lnurcns graded school, in which
1t was stated that some of the
patrons of the school have refused
to pay this incidental fee.
MIR Maytield forthwith submit
ted the matter to Attorney Gen
cral Barber, who has expressed
himself as of the opinion that
public schools have no right to
impose such incidental fees. The
letter from Mr. Barber reads as
follows:
Dear Sir: Youl reference TO
this Office of the letter of Prof
d Is Watkins, superintendent of
the Laurens Graded schools, has
my attention.
note his statement that the
trusteests of his school charge 81
per session for incidental expenses
and that 4 few of the patrons re-
fuse to pay this fee.
His inquiry is, Whether or not
the trustees have a right to stop
children from school if they rcfu> e
to pay the fcc!'
In the school law of the State
there is no authority for the
trustees of any school charging
such incidental fee, and the charge
is therefore illegal. am, there
fore, OF the opinion that the trus-
tees cannot discharge from the
school children whose parents
refuse payment.
Very truly yours,
William 4. Barber,
Attorney General.

\ FLOATING MINE.


Washington, ID. G.. March 25.
One of the highest officials in the
government has said definitely
that the report of the Maine court
of inquiry shows that the e1plo-
sion was due to an external
cause.
The report does not express an
opinion as to the character of the
explosive but the testimony shows
that it was powerful submarine
mine, the exact character of which
was not determined by the testi
mony though the belief is ex-
pressed that it was floating sub
marine mine.
There were two explosions. The
board finds that the first was from
the outside and that it set off one
of the smaller magazines.
All day the cabinet session last
ed, until $50 p. IN.
The entire situation was dis.
cussed AZ length, but no final con
clusions on any particular point
were reached.
The situation was regarded rs
decidedly critical and it is feared
that there will be great difficulty
in avoiding trouble.
Minister Woodford has been
called on tho subject.
SPAIN's SIDE.
Madrid, March 25.-The re-
port of the Spanish board of in
quiry into the loss of the battle
ship Maine says emphaticaIIy that
the explosion was of internal
origin.

poets to Get Freedom for
Cubans, Satisfy Ameri

Peace.

Washington, March -. The
developments Of the day in tn"
Cuban situation Indicate steady
progress in the negotiations be
tween the government of thi,
country and that of Spain looking
to tn" maintenance of peace, for
the present at least. There is
good authority for saying that
Spain : present wish is to secure
cessation of hostilitics in Cuba
rather than 10 engage in a war
with the United States. and that
1t Is more than probable that the
negotiations between the govern
ment of the United States and the
Sagasta ministry will take that
turn in the immediate future. The
present Spanish ministry has pro-
fesscd II pacific disposition from
the. beginning and the indications
are strong now that it will avail
itself of the good offices of the
United States to the fullest extent
that public opinion in Spain will
allow in bringing to an END the
hostlti!ics in Cuba. To what cx-
tent the United States may 90 in
assisting Spain in her present
design of securing on armistice is
not yet determined, but the con
servative element in the admins
tration consider the manifestation
of this desire on the part of Spain
for even 3 temporary peace Iii
rect result of President McKin-
ley's diplomacy, and they are
naturally disposed to contend that
the President should be left free
for the present at least to pursue
a policy which promises much in
the way Of preventing war be
tween this country and Spain, and
also of bringing to Il close the
hostilitics in Cuba. Hence, there
will be an effort an the part of
the peacefully inclined in congress
to continue to hold that body in
check and to prevent inflamma-
tory utterances there until this
promising diplomatic lead may be
exploited.
On the part of the administra-
ton it is stated that the deveIop-
mcnt of the situation will not re
quire II great length of time, and
hence that there will be no cx
tended delay. \ policy has been
fully determined upon oy the
President. II is TO bring the

At last the people of the S,ate
who have been interested to know
how much the school funds of the
several counties would get under
the constitutional provision in
tended to see that the public
schools got enough from the dis
pensary fund to bring their funds
on the enrolment of children In
the public schools up to So per

formation. The calculations were
based on the taxes levied for 1895
and the apportionment has been
made by the comptroller under
the provisions of the new consti-
tuition and of joint resolution No
Is passed at the last session of the
general assembly. Some time
ago it was estimated that the
amount the dis oensary would have
to pay would be $1,000 in round
numbers to make up the deficiency
in the counties falling behind.
That sum was paid The final
figures now show that the total
exceeds this amount by S499.
When the State board of control
meets on the 31st this will be call
ed to its attention. TIE board
will he called upon to pay in the
sum indicated. In several counties
the 3 mill and poll taxes netted
considerably more than the re-
quircd S3 per capita. As soon
as the S499.55 is in the treasury,
the comptroller will proceed to
pay out the money to the several
counties entitled to it. He is now
having copy of all the caIcula-
tions by counties printed IN cir
cular form and these circulars will
be sent to any desiring to examine
the figures.

The Author Of Dixie

or all the martial music that Is today

as "Dixie." There is sweetness ana
charm about the old song that touch
sympathetic chord in every heart

hail from.
Time was when It was treason to
whistle or sing Dixie" north OF Mason

different. OF all the inspiring national
airs none is received with more favoA
than this old southern song in all Sec

Dan Emmett, the minstrel" Only to
a limited extent is this correct. Emmett
sang the song, changing the words to
suit himself. His words are the ones
now fitted to the music, but Emmett
did not deserve credit for originating
the song any more than he deserved
credit for the music. although his sweet
voice helped to make IT famous.
The original words were written by
Will 8. Hays of Louisville. fitted to the
music by Charles l.. Ward, who died in
Louisville many years ago. and pub-
