To Change Her Name.

The steamer Granite City" is lying
on Colonnas ways. at Berkeley She is
being thoroughly ovcrhauled and re-
painted and will come out nearly as
good as new. She will be used as a re-
lay boat on the Willoughby Spit and
Old Point route.
The name of the "Vigilant" will soon
be changed to the Ocean View" This
is to more thoroughly Identify her with
Hampton Roads and is in line with the
policy prevailing regarding q number,
of other well-known boats, such as the
Hampton Roads," "Old Point" New
port News" and the Cape Charles"
This latter boat, nearly destroyed by
fire some time ago. is being rebuilt at
Cramps ehip-yard, at Philadelphia.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
A LARGE INCREASE LOOKED FOR
IN SCHOOL ENROLMENT.

A LARGE INCREASE LOOKED FOR
IN SCHOOL ENROLMENT.
The School Board will hold a meeting
to-day to consider routine matters The
matter OF n request for an increase OF
$1,000 in the appropriations for Nor
folks public schools may be discussed
incidentally. although it will probably
be more seriously taken up at n later
meeting. To the $4,000 carried in the
regular appropriation is added S11 900
from the State, but even this total is
believed by the School Board to be
much less than the sum required to
maintain the schools for the full schol-
astic year. The three new buildings
have twice as many rooms as were con-
tanned in the ones they superseded, a
provision TO keep pace with Norfolk's
increased growth and the demands of q
greater population.
On account of the coming closing of
the Norfolk College for Young Ladies
there will be an added demand on the
capacity of the public schools. 1t is
also expected that, on account OF the
improved condition of the new school
buildings over the old ones. many
pupils will be taken from private
schools and sent to the public schools

a NEW DEPARTURE.

L
This is n new departure and means
for Norfolk all that the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway and United States
Shipping Companys liners mean for
Newport News. 1t means an addition
of two, and possibly three, regular
liners between Norfolk and Europe
weekly of such vessels as the Maple
more, Pinemorc and their class The
Mapemore. which lately loaded here,
carried over 5000 tons general cargo.
The Pinemore, which is due here in a
short time, has carrying capacity for
1000 tons more. owing to better ar
rangement, though she is but foot
longer than her sister ship.
SECRECY MAINTAINED.
The new arrangement was reached at
a meeting of the high officials of the
railroad and steamship lines named,
neld but a short time ago. The news
mas been carefully guarded. but that
IL is official there is no doubt.The meet
ing was held in Washington, d. c.
Between now and the first of Septem-
per Two to four ships per month will be
run by the Johnston line and every
thing gotten in readiness for the new
arrangement y survey of the docking
oSpti 1DOut inc southern ; warehouses
and all necessary dredging for the deep
draught of the new liners will he made
Speculation was active Il week or
more ago, when the report OF the con-
solidation of the Southern, the Norfolk
and Western and the Chesapeake and
Ohio was made public. This report was
denied, but it was felt there was some
thing back of 1t all not known to the
people. Investigation along various
sources brought out the above item OF
news.
WHAT IT MEANS.
What this addition to Norfolll's ship
ping means is best appreciated by an
approximate estimate based on the
three large steamers, carrying general
cargo, which have left this port thus
far this month.The three are the steam
snip Maplemore, cargo valued Mt s426.-
600, In round numbers: the steamship
Tropic, cargo valued at over $3.50 600.
and the steamship Trentham Hall, car
go valued a about the same, or n to-
tai OF a. million and Il quarter dollars.
A regular series OF ten to twelve per
month will therefore mean the addi
ton of s3, $50, 900 to So, 600. 600 business to
the port per month, provided the car
goes are worth no more than these
noted. nor any larger. With the line of
steamships which the Johnston Line
VIII undoubtedly put on there is little
chance of the average falling short of
this amount. There are ather surprises
In store.

ARMY IN FRANCE.

The trial of Dreyfus by til e
court-martial af Rennes had a
broader and deeper significance
than belonged to it as the mere
prosecution Of an individual
soldier. In its purpose and in
the circum stances which pre-.
coded and attended it, it cast a
lurid light upon the present
situation in France, especially
upon the perilous power po-
>ssessed by the army in the grea t
European republic. M. Bar-
nard Lazlre, who was first to
demand Il revision Of the Drey.
fus verdict, contributes a pow
'erful article to the November
number of the North America n
Review, in which through an
MISREPRESENTATION of the pro-
ceedings at the trial at Rennes
he discloses the nefarious ma
,chinations of the General STAFF
and its tools and exposes the
danger which menaces France
in consequence OF the DONNA
ton of,her'military chiefs. M.
Lazaae says:
Unless the spirit OF the
army be changed, there will be
a deadly conflict between thai
spirit and the spirit of free in
quiry and research. Justice is
the life OF a nation in things
