IS FULL OF FIGHT.
Captain Of The Schooner hs|vstia
viii Not Surrender.


Washington. May 27-Capt. Karl
Marks is defying the United states and
ureat Britain.
He is aboard his vessel, anchored
near Montreal. has armed his crew
and is waiting developments. Already
he has threatened thrice TO annihilate
.he entire Canadian police.
Capt. Marks, commanding the
schooner Helvetia, of Cleveland, was
ordered last fall from Cleveland to the
Atlantic ocean. His vessel had been
chartered by the Atlantic transporta-
ton company and was TO be used by
the government. AS late start was
made the river was closed by ice when
the Helyetia arrived at Valleyfield,
near Montreal. Vessels of the small
fleet were tied up, and he received or
ders to return TO Cleveland when the
river opened in the spring.
After passing a hard winter and re-
ceiving no salary. owing to the ap-
polntment OF receiver for the Atlantic
transportation company, the captains
and crews of the schooners left their
vessels and returned 10 Cleveland.
Not so with Capt. Marks. He said
some one owed him and his crew wages
and until these were paid he intended
retaining possession of the boat. He
submitted his proposition TO the crew
and they stayed with him, but as no
salary was forthcoming the crew has
gradually deserted the old seadog until
only three are left.
The receiver for the Atlantic trans
portation company complained to the
state department here. and Secretary
Hay directed the United States consul
to have Capt. Marks arrested and the
control of the schooner given TO an
appointee of the receiver. The con-
sui tried persuasion, but was informed
that If he tried TO arrest the captain
he (Marks) would fill him full of shot
holes. The consul quickly withdrew
The receiver wants possession of the
schooner. and filed an indemnifying
bond TO stand all damages If the cap
tain could be relieved of command.
The state department. through the
consul, asked the Canadian govern
ment TO assist. A boatload OF police
men were sent TO take Capt Marks
off his vessel The captain presented
himself at the side OF his vessel fairly
bristling with weapons, and threatened
TO wipe out the entire police force OF
the Dominion II they came on board
his boat The Canadians did not ven
ture aboard. The consul and the Can
adams are now trying to starve Marks
out.
State department officials are ex-
pecting stirring news within a few
days.

petition was received from the
grammar masters OF the public schools
in relation to the closing OF the public
schools two weeks earlier than usual.
The petition is as follows;
To the School Committee OF the City Of
Providence:
Gentlemen-Wh the city coun-
ell has not seen fit TO notice the pc
tition of the teachers of Providence for
the furnishing of fumes for the con-
tinuance of the schools TO their usual
limit; and
Whereas, many members or the city
council have repeatedly and expressly
stated that the school committee have
not asked them for needed funds, and
that they would have furnished the
same had they been asked TO do SO; and
Whereas The carly closing of the
schools will work to their detriment in
shortening the work. interfering with
promotions and depriving those who
have nearly finished their courses OF
study OF long anticipated graduating
exercises; and
Whereas, the majority OF the parents
are expressing their disapproval OF the
lengthening Of the long vacation; and
Whereas, the decrease of per cent.
of salary affects all teachers disas-
trously. their being some who will ac-
tually suffer, and others depend upon
the earnings of the last few weeks for
the support OF themselves and families
during the long vacation;
We therefore respectfully petition
YOUR honorable body to reconsider tho
action taken at one OF your recent
meetings to close up the 10th of June
and to use your good Offices and the

in Perkins Building.
Blaze ES'Ingushed by Automatic Sprinkler.
Little Damage Done.

A mysterious fire occurred in the Per-
kins building on 'Sprague street this
morning. Among the tenants are Frank
T Pearce & Co, manufacturers of gold
pens. pencils etc. Joseph Duffy, one of
the employees, reaches the shop about
: o'clock. and it is his duty TO sweep
out the offices.
This morning Duffy opened the outer
office door and swept the room and went
out for moment When he came back
he discovered that fire had broken out
in the private office and ran and gave
an alarm to the engineer.
The latter lost no time in getting TO
the office. but found that the heat OF
the fire had operated a sprinkler and
that the flames were eXtinguished. The
water was promptly shut off and no
damage was done, save that a waste
paper basket and two panes OF glass
had been destroyed and the side OF
desk scorched.
Duffy says that he did not go near
the waste paper basket, In which the
fire originated and nobody can give
any explanation Of the cause OF its in
Ccption.

RICHARD w. SMITH.
Gen. II. G. White offered the follow
ing resolutions. which were adopted:
Resolved. That the communication
from committee of the grammar mas
ters, asking for reconsideration Of the
action OF this committee, whereby 1t
was voted 10 close the schools on June
l6, be and the same hereby is received.
Resolved, That this committee reads
with surprise it's statement therein con-
tanned that many members Of the city
council have repeatedly and expressly
stated that the school committee have
not asked them for needed funds and
that they would have furnished the
same had they been asked TO do so.'
That such statements are based on
complete misunderstanding of the real
facts. as the school committee did in
due season present TO the finance COM
mittee of the city council a detailed
statement OF the amounts needed 10
carry on the public schools for the cur
rent year. That when such funds were
not provided the city council was in
formed by communication of the needs
of the schools and the necessity that
there would be OF prematurely closing
the schools IL such funds were not pro-
vided. That a special committee OF con-
ference was appointed by this body TO
confer with the committee OF the city
council on this subject, and that said
conference committee did in fact con-
fer on several occasions with the fl
nance committee of the city council
and present the needs OF the schools.
That again wheM for want OF needed
funds the school committee was OBJ
liged TO provide for closing the schools
on June 16 two weeks in advance of the
regular time for such closing, another
communication stating the fact was
presented TO the city council by vote OF
this body.
That. however, no further misappre-
hension may be possible on this sub
ject IL Is hereby
Resolved, That in the opinion of the
school committee the omission of two
weeks OF school work at the end of the
current school year Is unfair to the
teachers and pupils alike. detrimental
to the welfare OF the schools. and in
furious TO the good name OF the city,
and That The school committee mas Only
resorted 10 this expedient as "A neces-
sity compelled by the failure of the city
council to provide the funds necessary
to complete the work Of the school year.
And tha' this committee, while )t
rresuminG TO pass on the ABILITY of the
city council TO provide such additional
funds. do hereby formally, IN view Of
the statements above referred %. re-
quest tn council 20 provide funds for

the schools during the present school
year. IL any proper means for providing
said funds are available to the council.
Resolv III. That said communication

MoLOERS FIELD DAY.
Two Hundred Enjoyed an Outing and
Dinner al Fields Point.
Football, Baseball and Other Gan,s-Con-
sultaton Of Union officers.

The striking molders OF this city had
a field day at Fields Point yesterday,
about 200 persons being present when
one of Col. Atwelrs famous bakes were
served, and the day was most thorough
ly enjoyed. After the clans had been
dvested series OF sports were inau-
gurated, and the balance OF the after
noon was devoted 10 the games.
The football game was between an
eleven from the Builders iron foundry
and union eleven from the other shops
and the score was in favor OF the union
eleven. The baseball game was hotly
contested and the scorers were kept
busy. The result at the end OF the sixth
inning, when the bottom dropped"
stood IL to "a, in favor of Providence
and the homie team announced that the
men from Pawtucket didn't know how
to play ball Then came the l0O-yard
dash, I'm which j. III. Nell breasted the
tape first, putting the stone, won by ID.

is due the committee In charge OF the

While the strikers were enjoying their
field day the officials or the Moiders'
union were engaged In consultation in
this city. Nice-President Valentine had
an important talk with one 0f the foun-
drymen. and the result may prove TO be
the turning point in this difficulty be-
tween the striking molders and the
founders. Vice President Valentine has
left the city and is not expected back
until the first week In June. when the
