ALEXANDRIA, Va, August 80, 1899.
So far as can be learned there have been
no developments of interest in the meas
ure recently introduced in council to re-
fund the city debt. At the regular meet
ing Of council held July IS a resolution
was adopted by both bodies, providing that
committee of three be appointed, two by
the president Of the common council and
one by the president of the board of alder
men, the committee to be authorized to
communicate with the bondholders and
ascertain If they will accept par for their
bonds, and at the same time ascertain If
the city can borrow the money on a forty
year bond at per cent interest, with
which to pay off the entire present in
debtedness of the city.
The committee was duly appointed. but
as yet has not reported progress. The
city's total bonded Indebtedness, accord
ing to the auditors last annual statement,
is S19S3UO, about $751; 600 of which is held
in call bonds, which may be refunded At
the pleasure of the city.
Reopentng of Schools.
The annual session of the city public
schools will begin Monday, September IL.
Clerk Snowden, with an assistant, will be
at his desk in the Peabody building Mon
day, September 4, for the issuance of per-
mits to white children. The latter part of
the week will be devoted to giving out per-
mits for colored scholars. On the CORE
spending days of last year 641 white boys
received certificates to enter the schools,
and 591 white girls, a total of LBS. The
session was commenced with a total enroll
ment of 1867, somewhat smaller than that
of the preceding year. 1t is expected that
these figures will be equaed or increased
this fall, as all of the schools will begin
the session under favorable auspices.

REDUCED TO CLASS ONE.
Action Taken In the Case of Police
mau MCCOrt.

Upon the recommendation of Major Syl-
vester. chief of police. Policeman Edward
McCort. q private of class 2. has been re-
duced to Glass 1, by order of the District
Commissioners, and his restoration to the
higher class made contingent upon his flu
ture conduct, the officer having recently
been found guilty by the trial officer of con-
duct unbecoming an officer. From the rec
Cort left the District without leave and
became intoxicated at Maryland resort
up the river. In forwarding the case to the
Commissioners, Major Sylvester stated to
them that he was disposed to recommend
the mans removal from the force. but in
view of the fact that this is the first
Migrant violation of the rules on the off,
GERS part in nearly twelve years. he merely
recommended that he be reduced with the
condition stated. In this connection, .,ajor
sylvester expressed the opinion that the
members of the police force. whether on
leave or not, should so regulate their con-
duct as to maintain 1t above reproach
