BOARD OF
!. EDUCATION.
Scholars Will Be Allowed
to Spend Noon Hour
In School.

The Board Of Educa ion last night re-
affirmed the school Jaw that scholars can
not be dismissed daily before the usual
time for closing ss,ions to engage In any
form Of business. While this law OF the
board always has been considered "a valid
last nights action was taken SO there can
be no doubt of the bQard.epssstion on this
question:.
ID. Frantz drew the attention Of the
board to regulation that had been In ef-
feet in the past, allowing pupils on stormy
days to remain, If they desire. In school
room. under the supervision of teacher
during tho noon hour. The board last
night readopted this rule for the present
term. The pupils will be allowed to talk
and walk about the room. but cannot leav
tie building during the noon-hour after
eating their dinner. This was done for
the convenience Of pupils coming from
distarce.
In connection with this action. the
question was raised as to whether or not
the committee on schools could sanction
rainy days. like Yesterday for instance.
President ShortlidVe stated that while
there WAS no law allowing this procedure,
| it had been he custom of the committee
men to do so.
This was referred to the committee on
law, which probably will make some pro-
vision tor ono session on stormy days, 80
he children will not have to return to
school after going home at nom.
Mr. Barne, reported that Nos school is
overcrowded. II was decided to open
another room there, and an additional
teacher will be secured.

Ihese cars were manufactured at

Der &Co, New York, VIII convey the
cars from Jersey City to Alexandria.
All OF the cars are of one pattern of
the gondola class. The Woods Run

The Egyptian Railway company is
composed of English capitalists, who
are developing vast coal and iron ter

recently has thrown open a great field
that heretofore could not be reached.
The railway company is fast extend

This Is the first shipment of any

All of the Spanish Systems Revived That
Does Not Conflict with the Sovereignty
of the United states-spanish VIII lie
tho OncIal Language of the Courts.
Arrival OF Transports.
MANILA, May 3O-An order has been
issued re-establishng the Philippine
courts, which have been closed since
the American occupation. 1t revives
all of the Spanish system which does
not conflict with the sovereignty OF the
United States The chief justice is
Cayetano Arrelano The associates of
the civil branch are Manuel Araul;a,
Colonel Crowder and Gregorio Aranita.
The justices of the criminal branch are
Raymundo Meliza, Ambrosio Rian-
zares, julio Llorento, Major Young and
Captain Birkhimer. The attorney gen
eral is Florontio Torres. This cores
ponds with the American supreme
court.
The oath prescribed begins: Il recog-
nize and accept the supreme authority
Of the United States of America" etc.
The Filipino members are all promi-
nent lawyers. Arrellano is the leader
of his profession in the islands. In
the early stages of the Filipino gov
ernment he was Aguinaldo's principal
adviser. Aranita was member of
Aguinaldos first cabinet. Melliza was
president of the insurgent government
at Iloilo; Torres Is the leader of the
local committee working with the COM
mission to conciliate the insurrection-
lists
Spanish will be the official language
of the courts. There has been ag-
tation among the local British and
American business men and American
lawyers who came to the Philippines
to make fortunes, to have the English
code and language adopted, but Ma
jor General Otis concluded that 1t
would be unwise, even II practical, to
upset long usage He thought 1t best
to give the natives courts in the Ian
guage to which they have been accus-
toned.
The Spanish salaries proved a Stun
bling block to obtaining good men, the
highest being only $2,500, the Spanish
judges receiving fees, which are abol-
ished. All the judges are representa-
tive men.
The transports Senator and Ohio,
which left San Francisco April 2S, with
the Thirteenth infantry on board, have
Just reached here with all we'll on
board. Five men deserted at Homo
lulu, and one was drowned. There was
no other casualties.
The correspondents of a New York
newspaper have been disbarred for fab
ricating an interview with General
Lawton dated Manila, May 49, and
for evading the censorship.
The steamer El Cano has arrived here
from the island of Guam, bringing the
Filipinos who were exiled there by the
Spaniards for participating in the old
rebellion.

FIR /, 81. JOnNo
A Number of Squares devastated Caus-
ing Loss of S5OO,OOO.

ST. JOHNS, N. B., May Pa fire
broke out in house adjoining the gen.
eraI warehouse of p. Nase & Sons. Main
street, North End, and for several
hours its progress was. unchecked. In
sufficient water supply. long term of
dry weather and a brisk gale contrib
uted to cause a conflagration which, for
a time, threatened humiliation to the
wooden district where in it originated.
In half an hour from the first alarm
10 buildings on Main and Bridge streets
were in flames.
Shortly afterward the wharves and
warehouses of the Star line took fire.
The bulk of the fire department was
concentrated to the east Of the burning
building, striving to check the progress
of the fire towards the heart of the city.
But the water supply proved INSULT
cient and building after building on
Main street caught and burned, while
several blocks in the rear of Main
street on both sides were soon blazing.
The destruction of several buildings
on Main street by the use of dynamite
stayed the progress of the flames along
the line of the street railway and the
firemen were able to direct their efforts
more particularly to the district north
of Main street, and including blocks
of dwellings bounded by Victoria, Met
calf, Bridge, Holly, Cunard and Albert
streets. The spread of the flames was
soon stopped and the ruins gradually
burned out.
One of the leading underwriters esti-
mates the loss at half a million dollars
and the insurance at 100000.

PROVED HIS THEORY.
Young Man Jump. From the brook
lyn bridge without Injury.


lyn bridge without Injury.
NEW YORK, May 29. Howard Kretz,
a young man about 22 years old, who
says he is an art student of the Acad-
emy of Design in this city, made a
startling ard successful jump from the
Brooklyn bridge just before dusk and
came out of the river uninjured,
About o'clock Kretz boarded an
open trolley car bound for Brooklyn.
When the car reached a point near the
highest point of the span Kretz leaped
down and like flash vauted over the
high railing. He took no time to steady
himself, but swung some distance out
from the structure before he assumed
an upright position.
The startled passengers peered
through the railing, while hundreds OF
persons on the promenade tried to get a
glimpse of the figure. Kretz's body
flashed through the air almost in a
perpendicular streak He struck the
water feet first, cleaving it like an ar
row. He disappeared for some Sec
onds and then shot up into view again,
only to disappear for the second time,
The waters had hardly closed over him
when he reappeared and Immediately
struck out strongly for the New York
shore He wac picked up by river
steamer, and when the boat reached
her dock Kretz sprang on to the wharf.
He was taken into custody. He was
suffering from shock, but had received
no apparent injury.
Kretz is about 5 feet inches tall and
weighs 140 pounds. He lives in this
city. He said that he had been reading
a book on theosophy and that he
wanted to demonstrate that a man, by
exercising his will power could do any
thing he wished without injury to him

DREYFUS CASE ARGUED.
The Case Being Reheard by the French
Court of Cassations.

PARIS, May 3O.-The argument for
rehearing of the Dreyfus case is fairly
under way in the French court of cas-
sations. Considerable time was occu-
pied by NJ. Ballot de Beaupre in read
ing extracts from and analyzing the
statement of NJ. Mornard counsel for
Madame Dreyfus, which was a lengthy
recital of facts already fully published.
After reading NJ. Mornards defense,
which concluded by maintaining that
the material evidence of the bordereau
and the moral evidence cropping out
during the inquiry pointed not to Drey-
fus, but to Esterhazy as the culprit
NJ. Ballot de Beaupre dealt with the
question of motive. He read the police
report furnished by NJ. Guenee, the de-
tective, and unfavorable to Dreyfus
and reports of the prefecture of police
pointing out that there had been a con-
fusion of Dreyfus with others of the
same name who had been mixed VI
with gambling and disreputable female
associations. The latter reports were
not produced at the trial in 1884,
NJ. Ballot de Beaupre then pointed
out that Dreyfus could not have acted
as a traitor from anger or disappoint.
ment, as he had the finest prospects of
an excellent military career. On the
other hand Esterhazy, the reporter al
legged, was a soldier of fortune, always
begging from the money lenders.
Continuing. the reporter read letters
written by Esterhazy abusing France
and the French army, these producing
a deep impression upon the audience.
He referred to letter written by Es-
terhazy to Baron Rothschild, dated
June q, 1894, to the effect that if his
application for money were refused he
would have no resource but to kill his
family and then to commit suicide
Such, said the reporter, was Ester
hays language on the eve of the date
when the bordereau was placed" The
inference to be drawn was that Este.
hazy sought in treason resources nec-
essary to carry on a life of dissipa.
tion.
At this point, with the evident appro-
val of all who listened NJ. Ballot de
Beaupre quoted from NJ. Mornard'
statement as follows:
Although justice has been rendered
more or less impotent with regard tc
Esterhazy by the latter's acquittal OF
the charge Of being the author of the
bordereau, it is none the less the duty
of the supreme court to restore to lib.
erty an innocent man unjustly con.
demned."

NO CONFERENCE HELD.
That Coal DinferentiaI Question Is Yet
Far From settlement.

fAr FROM Stttltnen
PITTSBURG. May 26.-The settle
ment of the differential question is still
matter Of conjecture. conference
Of the miners and operators was to
have been held, but is was postponed
indefinitely on account of the non-re-
ceipt of the ultimatum of the thin vein
operators. There was a rumor current
that the thin vein operators had sent
communication to Secretary Dodds of
the United Mine Workers. President
Dolan denied any knowledge of it, and
the secretary is out of the city.
1t is the general opinion that the thin
vein men have not changed their views
on the differential question. President
Dolan, who is conservative on the mat
ter of strikes, said that the whole trou-
BILE could have been settled in a week
by ordering a general strike in all the
mines, pending the adjustment of the
question.
A local dealer in viewing the present
condition of business said: In my opin-
Ion, the miners throughout the coun-
try, especially in this district, have a
very encouraging future before them.
1t is likely that both the market and
shipping price on coal will advance and
operators will be in a condition to give
a raise OFFS per cent. The Berwlnd
White company has taken the lead in
the matter, and have little doubt but
the other operators will follow"
The present outlook in the situation
is due to the rushing of coal for the
lake trade. Some % carloads were
shipped to lake points by local dealers.
Ihe settlement of the Buffalo strike has
caused a big rush of coal to this and
other points along Lake Erie. Over
l'OOO cars of coal We're slipped over the
various railroads to the lakes. The de.
mand is said to be greater now than
IN years past and prices are said to be
going up on all coal sold. and an in
crease of 10 per cent is looked for ON
all new contracts.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Bradstreet's Weekly Report on the Con-
ditIOn of business.

NEW YORK, May 27.-Bradstreets
says: Favorable features Of current
trade still, as for a long time past.
largely outnumber those of an opposite
character. Wholesale distribution Is
naturally less active as the season ad-
vances, but comparisons with last year
are still very satisfactory. Much Is
hoped for from better weather condl-
tlons stimulating retail trade, hitherto
held in check by the backward spring
season. Industrial activity is wide
spread and the prices of most staples
are either very firm or tending up
ward, except in the cases of products
affected by weather conditions.
That often-relied- d-upon barometer OF
general business conditions, the iron
and steel trade, reports increasing rath-
er than lessening activity, notwith
standing the approach of warm wealth
er. In some lines, in fact the situation
is becoming rather excited. The pres
sure of consumptive demand really
seems likely to either do away with
entirely or shorten very appreciably the
summer shutdown period. Features in
this trade are heavy buying by prom-
nent interests in the Central West, ad-
vances in prices of all grades of pig
iron and many varieties of the more
finished products and predictions of still
higher prices to come, coupled with de-
mails by leading interests of corner"
in the market for crude pig. Indca-
tions are that the volume of business
now being done or offered is far in ad-
vance of all previous records. Export
trade is feeling the check, due not en-
tirely to advancing prices, however. but
to actual inability to take new business
at any price.
Reports from winter wheat become
increasingly unfavorable. conservative
estimates pointing to l0OO0O,O0O bushels
smaller crop, owing to insect damage
and near futures higher on the week
Cash wheat naturally reflects the end
ing of the Buffalo strike and conse-
quent freer movement of supplies to the
seaboard, however. in slightly easier
prices.
