At the present time there are Sc
scholarships.
Mr.. Bowen came out boldly for free
schools and made a motion that the
Board recommend free school system
for the Hawaiian Islands. This Mr..
Bowen believed to be a panacea for all
ills.
Mrs, Dillingham; suggested that
near.y all the schools were free at the
present time.
Mr.. Smith said that he was in favor
of free schools but that the time was
not ripe for action in that matter.
Minister Cooper asked what would
be gained by the free school system
now and here. Mr. Bowen answered
that the grades could then be easily
regulated and the children properly
taken care of. He had had it impressed
on his mind that Republic was not
in the select school business. If this
was Republic in name should it
not be so in deed.
Minister Cooper said he believed the
time would come when there would be
free school system here, but not at
the present time. He compared this
country with the United States and
showed the difference in conditions
requiring different arrangements in
regard to school regulations.
Mr.. Bowen was sure that, the adopt
ion of the suggestion of the Minister
in regard to scholarships would work
personal hardships. Some might not
be able to come up to the standard
iniC
other school then?
Mr.. Bowen answered that perhaps
they might be unable to get in and
asked the Minister if he would be
willing to recommend to the Legisla-
ture the appropriation of money for
the building Of new schools so that all
might be provided for.
Minister Cooper answered that this
was just what he intended doing.
Just here the Inspector-Genera
stated that there were 223 children in
unable to get into the schools
on account of insufficient accommoda-
tiOn.
Mr.. Bowen then moved the adoption
of the recommendation of Minister
Cooper in regard to scholarships.
Carried.
Professor Alexander presented a pc
tition from Armstrong Smith of Fort
street school to the effect that an in
structor in modelling and carving be
granted him for the purpose of teach
ing the children of his school those
useful arts. The Board decided that
this could not be granted.
Mrs. Dillingham; petitioned the
Board, on behalf of number of ladies.
for the use of one of the High school
rooms during certain afternoons of
the week for the purpose of lectures
to be delivered by a lady.
The Board had no objections but de-
cided to refer the matter to the prin-
cipal of the school.
Adjourned.

A meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce will be held in the hall of the
Campbell Block at 10 O'Clock this
morning, TO hear the report from the
special committee of seven, delegated
to interview the Government on harbor
Improvement and enlargement. A con-
ference was held at the Executive
Building yesterday morning between
the committee of seven and the mem
bers of the Cabinet in the city
Mr.. p. G.. Jones, the chairman, was
spokesman for the representatives of
the business men. He recited the af-
fair as it had been presented to the
Chamber of Commerce by Mr.. Dilling-
ham, and set forth in this paper over
the signature of Mr.. Dillingham;. Mr..
Jones then asked a series of questions
and requested so full statement of
ranted in giving.
Responses to the committee were
made by Minister King, Acting Presi-
dent Cooper and Attorney General
Smith. The visitors were told that a
single 600 foot wahrf slip was to be
built near the Sorenson wharf as soon
as possible, for the reason that it was
believed the additional accommodation
was needed The Government had also
planned, if it secured title to water
front which was being disputed in the
Courts by the Railway Company, to
build 1000 feet of wharf from Lime
Kiln point to Summers island. The
land in dispute had been leased to the
Railway Company with the contract
stipulated that it would be vacated on
agreed form of notice. The Govern
ment had given this notice, but the
Railway Company resisted. The mat
ter was in the Courts and would there
be settled All of the Cabinet members
explained that the Government was
fully alive to shipping needs and to the
rights Of the public and would look aft
er both to the fullest extent of the best
ability of the Administration. The
members of the committee semed to be
satisfied with the replies given and the
treatment accorded, and after some re-
marks had been made by Mr.. Dilling-
ham, departed Mr. Dillingham; wished
to reiterate some of the statements he
had nuh1ished and given utterance to
at the meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce.
After the meeting, Attorney General
Smith expressed himself as very much
pleased with the manner in which the
matter and affair had been taken up by
the Chamber of Commerce.

OF the. Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years I have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection Of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
mert a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, I be-
gan its use. Before 1 had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though I am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your SIS. long ago,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $780,
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perma-

VICTORY FOR LABOR
MINERS GET A TEN-CENT ADVANCE
AND AN ElGHT-HOUR DAY.

Agreement Affects Two Hundred Thou.
sand Men In Various states-Interstate
Convention at Chicago Completes Its
Labors and Adjourns.
CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-The interstate
joint convention of bituminous coal
operators and miners has ended. The
miners are jubilant over the results. of
their 10 days session, for it means to
nearly 200, 900 soft coal miners an ad-
vance Of 10 cents, per ton, and a uni
form day Of eight hours at uniform day
wages, and the operators congratulated
che another with d victory over them.
selves. The following are the resolc-
items adopted with but two dissenting
votes:
Resolved, That al advance Of 10 cents
per ton for mining screened coal take
effect in the Western pennsylvania dis
trict. Hooking Valley (Ohio) district and
Indiana bitulninous district, and that on
and after April l, 1895, the S-hour day
shall be in effect in ali districts here rep
resented; that Uniform wages for day L.
Dor shall be paid the different classes OF
labor in the field named; and that inter
nal difference s in any Of the states both
as to price and conditions, shall be re-
ferred to the states affected
To Perfect the Arrangements.
The convention completed it's work
by naming the wage scale committee,
to consist CT the national executive
board of the mine workers, the district
presidents and secretaries and two OPP
orators from each state, to tabulate the
scale and perfect all the arrangements
for putting it into effect on the date
set. It was determined that hereafter
the miners and operators will meet in
january of each year to fix scale for
the IL months beginning April l. Pitts
burg was selected for the next annual
joint conven ton, which will meet on
the third Tuesday in January, 1899.
The afternoon session of the conven-
vention was very stormy and for a few
hours appearances led to the belief that
after 10 days. hard work the convention
would fail to reach settlement.
Says It's a Great Labor Victory.
President Ratchford of the United
Mine Workers expressed himself as
highly satisfied with the work of the
convention. He said: II consider the
establishment of an 8-hour day for the
miners one of the greatest labor victo-
ries Of the century. 1t is, in my esti-
nation, Of far more Importance than
the 10 cents per ton advance. We are
bound to consider the conditions of
the coal industry in asking for an
advance in the mining scale. Perhaps
when we meet in annual conference
next year conditions may be such that
the advance would be lost. But the
uniform day Of eight hours work and
48 hours for the week will stand as one
Of the greatest achievements in the his
tory Of the miners or any other organ
iZation."

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Senate Committee Discusses tho Subject
but Takes No Final Action.
WAsH1NaroN, Jan. 27.-The senate
committee on postof1ices and postroads
had under consideration the advisable
ity of establishing postal savings banks
in the United States. TIE discussion
was general and the only conclusion
reached was that Senators Mason and
Butler Should prepare the bill which
could be used as base for future DELHI
erations. This was done because of the
fact that there were large number of
measures before the committee, all
looking to the same end. 1t is intended
that the bill to be prepared by Messrs.
Mason and Butler shall supplant all
these and they were requested to have
ih shape to be taken up at the next
meeting, to be held a week hence.

CONCERT OUT OF TUNE.

European Powers at Odds Over the Ques-
ton of Crete.
LONDON, Feb. There is an impress
sion here that the sultan, in the end,
will be compelled to accept Prince
George as governor of Crete. It is
strong enough to provoke discussion Of
the consequences, namely, that the
Turks, with Mohammedan feeling
aroused, will be less disposed than ever
to evacuate Thessaly, and that the
Balkan states, already disturbed and
restless, will be likely to ask compensa-
ton for Greece's virtual gain in Crete.
The European concert, as to the near
East, is temporarially dissolved, with
Germany and Austria on one side and
the other powers on the other, but it is
not beyond establishment.
