w Ills IcIhll1S u1CQdl.
PACIFIC GROVE, May 13.-The cadets
of ST. Matthew's School of San Mateo,
who have been in camp here for the past
week, to-day held the most notable event
of the school year-the annual competitive
company drill for the Perkins medal.
Companies A and B. with fifty and forty
eight men respectively, competed Each
did unusually good work, and the contest
was very close. Major A. j. Kirk, u. S.
A, commandant of st. Matthew's School,
andA Ensign George Kammerer of the
United States Naval Battalion judged the
contest.
Company B won the trophy making a
score of 91A out Of possible 100, Com
pany A scoring SO 7-10. Company A showed
splendidly in foot movements, but was
greatly, outclassed by Company in the
manual of arms. Company B stood high
er in inspection of arms also. The drill
trophy, which Captain ]. Valentine now
proudly wears for Company B, is a hand
some jeweled gold medal presented by
United States Senator George c. Perkins
to St. Matthew's School.
The cadets returned to San Mateo this
afternoon to complete the school year.

SlIOIn OF Q0dI0. ne Young
woman who has not been taught the neces-
sity of taking care of her health in wom-
anly way is a ship adrift upon the sea of
ignorance. Diseases that will wreck her flt-
uTe happiness will soon assume command
Young women who suffer from weakness
and disease peculiar to their sex live under
a terrible nervous tension, and If they
escape death are always threatened with
insanity. The whole nervous system is
affected by the constant drag and drain
upon the delicate and feminine organs.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the
one perfect and unfailing specific for every
arrangement and disorder of this descrip-
ton. 1t fits a woman for wifehood and
motherhood 1t is the best of all known
nerve tonics. 1t is the discovery of one of
the most eminent and skillful specialists
in disease of women.

DIPLOMAS GRANTED
BY STATE BOARD
OF EDUCATION
Number Of Complaints Investi=
gated at the Quarterly
Meeting.

SACRAMENTO, May 13.-At the quar-
terly meeting of the State Board of Edu-
cation to-day a number of complaints rel
ative to diplomas were investigated
AT its meeting last year the board re-
ceived an application from Philip Condit,
principal of the High School at Eureka,
for a high school certificate. 1t was at
that time brought to the attention of the
board that in order to advance himself
four years in the line of promotion Condit
had represented that he had obtained de-
grees from certain educational institu-
tions of note, and that such representa-
tions were false. Conult was given until
this meeting to make showing for him
self, but, failing to put in an appearance,
his application was denied.
The protest against the action of the
board in granting a life diploma to Miss
Ella j.. Ale of San Diego was ignored.
Miss Ale was granted grammar grade
cation of San Diego County. Upon such
certificate she was last year granted a
life diploma by the State Board of Educa-
ton. 1t afterward developed that the
grammar grade certificate was granted
upon what purported to be a life certifi-
cate from the State of Pennsylvania, but
which in reality merely entitled the hold
er to teach in one particular county. The
State Board of Education this afternoon
held that its proceedings in the matter
had been regular and that the life di-
plOma would have to stand until the
grammar grade certificate was properly
revoked by the San Diego board.
The following diplomas were granted

Tho president, In thanking NJ. Dupuy,

The senators and deputies then iled past

CHANCE FOR PRINCE VICTOR,
ON RECEIVING TIE NEWS HE HAS
TILY CALLED A MEETING.
Prince Louis May Aid Him Should an
Attempt BE Made to Over
throw the Republic.

Brussels, February 1s.-It looks as
though the death OF President Faure might
give the signal for the blow the Bona
partists have been expected to strike for
some time. The news was brought by
special messenger TO Prince Victor Ma
poleon at the Theater Gaerie st. Hubert.
Upon receiving the dispatch he imme-
diately returned to his hotel in the avenue
Louise, and spent the whole night in
sending kilograms broadcast.
The Bonapartist leaders are to hold a
meeting here. 1t is certain that some
important move is being considered. Many
members OF the party have already ar
rived, and others are on their way here
TO consult with the prince.
il has recently been reported that
Prince Victor is absolutely in favor OF a
loyal revision OF the Dreyfus case, but
so far no authoritative statement of his
opinion has been received, although many
Journalists have attempted 10 secure an
interview, always without success, as
The prince has Invariably replied through
his secretaries that he would make public
his opinions on this question rs well as on
several others In a very short time by
means Of n manifesto over his own Sig
nature. Many of the best informed people
here believe that the. meeting is TO draw
up the manifesto in question.
For some time 1t has been known that
Prince Victor has been, like Dickens
turn up" This unexpected vacancy in
The French presidency appears to have
presented the best opportunity for coming
out boldly,
Political journalistic circles here are
on the watch for the arrival here from
Russia of Prince Victor's brother, Prince
Louis Napoleon. Despite contradictory
rumors, il is certain that the two brothers
are far from being on the point of becom-
ing rival competitors; on the contrary,
they viii undoubtedly act in concert,
Victor being tho brain and Louis the sword
IN any attempt that will be made under
their auspices to overthrow the French
republic. No indisputabe confirmation can
be obtained of the rumor that Russia
views the future action Of Prince Louis
In this respect with favorable eye, but It
is we'll known that the car is by no
means an enthusiastic admirer OF the yio-
lent Partisan anu-Jewish movement and
that he is in favor Of the complete clean
ing out of the preyfus question. This fits
IN so well with the alleged sentiments of
frinoo Victor and his brother Louis in
isvor OF Dreyfus revision that some
forthcoming action of the two princes on
these lines, with the secret encouragement
ot Russia Is looked upon as wellnigh GER
tain, particularly as the Duke d'Orleans
has absolutely compromised himself Inv
making common cause with Esterhazy and
the general stan, which is a further rea
son for the Napoleanic pretenders adopt
Ing the very opposite policy.

Biographical Sketch.
Paris, February IS M. Loubet was to-
day elected president OF the French re-
public by the national assembly Mt YER
sailles. NJ. Loubet received iS3 votes
against go votes cast for NJ Melne.
From an early hour the stations on the
railroad lines leading to Versailles were
crowded with people gathering TO witness
the departure of the deputies and senators.
NJ. De Roulede arrived hero by the Lyons
railroad and was met by members OF the
Patriotic League. order prevailed at the
stations. where. to all appearances, there
were no special police precautions taken.
Tho first train took an army OF telegra-
piers and telephonists to Versailles where
the town hall was decorated with flags aud
draped with crepe. The lamps were light
ed and yelled with crepe.
The members OF the national assembly,
namely the senators and deputies. began
TO assemble at 10 o'clock TO select their
seats.
NJ. Loupet, president Of the senate and
presiding officer, arrived In u carriage at
10 o'clock Friends surrounded him when
he entered the gallery of busta and he
said III you love me, hope YOU won't
vote for me-
S0cn the scene became animated, CROWDS
of people surrounded the doors Watching
the arrival OF the members, The palace
was closed 10 the public.
Various political groups held meetings
at noon. and NJ. Cocher announced that NJ
Mellne had definitely Withdrawn his can
didacy, The natlonalists and anti semites
decided not TO vote for NJ. Loubet.
The assembly met at l o'clock. NJ
Lquhet declared the sitting open amid the
applause OF the leftsts during which
NJ Loubet proceeded to draw for tellers.
The voting began with the letter "D,'
ana NJ. Dausette, moderate republican.

nlels OF tho North. cast the first haliot.
When NJ. Paul De Roulede, organizer
OF the League of Patriots ami deputy
representing the Second district OF An
gorleme, voted, he attempted TO sneak
from the tribune where the urns vera
placed but N. Lonbot forbade him Ia
do so. which called forth protests from

threats that one hears everywhere, France
is at heart thoroughly republican and viii
remain so. French parliamentary way may
not always coincide with American meth
DDS of settling home affairs, but depend
upon it, the ultimate outcome will be In
accordance with the principles of our rev.
olution. which in substance are those of
the American revolution
Among the prominent Frenchmen who
may be counted among the late president S
truest and foremost friends is M. Jules
Cambon, whose views in regard to the
present situation are believed to resemble
those of NJ. Ribot. Nj Cambon is visibly
death. the news of which was communi-
Gated to him at midnight by a special
messenger from the Elysee. NJ. Cambon
had already sent his trunks on board the
Transatlantic liner Normandie, intending
to leave Paris and resume his post at
Washington. He has now decided to delay
his departure until next week.
No picture of the situation in Paris is
complete without the views of such stormy
petrels as Lucien Millevoye, the aggressive
nationalist, and Henry Rochefort, the
prince Of socialists.
NJ. Millevoye makes an open bid for
military dictatorship and with Rochefort
anu CdSsaSudc is supporting CaVHtSnac,
the former minister of war for the presi-
denoy. Both Millevoye and Rochefort de-
nounce the republic with the utmost ener-
getic epithets and declare that If re-
yisionist president, such as Meline or
Brisson, is elected, to use Rochefort's
words: lie bel rifles will be fired Oft
without anybody pulling the triggers"
NJ. Cayalgnac, however, has no influential
supporters besides these three grotesque
political musketeers.
1t is significant that whenever the name
of Paul Deschanel the young and popular
president of the chamber is spoken of
for president it is coupled with the quail
ifcation that he is not old enough for
such high office; but no one has yet
formulated any more seditious objection
to his candidacy and some of the most
experienced parliamentary hands declare
that although Loubet may be put forward
at first, on later ballots Deschanel's
chances are more than brilliant.
The Tribune's correspondent was pres-
ent during the session of the chamber of
deputies and could not fail to notice that
Deschanel made decided impression on
the assembly by the firm, dignifed and
above all, the authoritative manner In
which he presided and pronounced an
eulogy of the late president A we'll
known ambassador or great military
power shortly afterward remarked.

man needed to save the situation
