DISTRICT COURT JUDGES ENTRUsT-
ED WITH THE PROBLEM OF
THE CHARTER
ASKED FOR A NEW COMMISSION
Petition Signed by OSLO Voters Pre-
sented to Jndge Brill Yesterday
by the Committee Representing
the St. PanI Public school Union
Court Will Sit Today to Con-
slider 1t.


Early yesterday Afternoon, E. C. String
er' w. q. White and P. J. Smalley, the
committee of 5the public school union
which has been supervising the circula-
tlon OF the petitions for the appointment
of a charter Commission presented the
mammoth results of their two weeks
work to the district court, as represented
by Judge Brill, the senior Judge.
The petitions. OSLO in number, weighed
ABOUT twenty pounds. and were truly
formidable communication.
Accompanying them was the affidavit
of J.. J. Smalley that to the best of his
information and belief, every one of the
0'Sle signers, was a legal voter.
With these were presented also tho
designations Of the members of the 1895
commission.
The number of petitions was far In ex-
cess OF the number required by law,
which would be less than 1900, on the
basis of the city vote of 1873.
The judges will probably meet this
morning to consider the petition, and if
1t is decided to. appoint a commission
viii probably draw up the list Of fifteen
freeholders, provided for by law without
much delay, although it is possible that
the naces will not be announced until
the court has had a chance to commune
cate with the men named and ascertain
whether or not they will accept places
on the commission

GREETING TO MIR. AND MRS.
DEWEY

! There is not an American that will not
ton learning of the marriage Of the hero
Of Manila bay extend to him and the
worthy lady who joins her life to his the
kindly greeting Of old Rip: Here's your
health and your familys, and may you
live long and prosper"
Next to avowing himself a good,
sound-hearted Democrat the admiral
appears to have done the next
best thing politically. He has mar
ried an uncompromisfng Democratic
wife. We wish him joy of his wife,
as we'll as of his wife's politics. They
are both admirable, and they will doubt
less aid in bringing very many admirable
ideas to the mind of the great man which
he may not have devoted as much
thought to in the past as a man of less
active professional career would be ex-
pected to do.
Admiral Dewey stands on the threshold
of a new career. 1t will doubtless be as
successful, if not quite as eventful, as
that which he brought to a close under
the guns of the Spanish navy. His con-
duct during the very burdensome duties
which fell upon him in connection with
his grand reception in New York shows
that he is still a man in the prime of
health, and that many years of useful
and active life are left to him. He has,
indeed, before him. If he seeks it, a
career in civil life as honorable as that
which he has led in the naval service
But,whether he chooses to retain the pub
lie character which he now enjoys with
so much eminence. or to retire to the
privacy of domestic life. the admiration
and good wishes of his countrymen will
remain with him.
Even in his marriage Admiral Dewey
Bustains his well-won character as a man
who, with duty to perform or an adj
vantage to enjoy, goes forward without
