ST. PAUL SCHOOL MIDDLE.

The petition for a rehearing in the one
and a half mill special school tax levy
case was denied by the supreme court
Yesterday in an order handed down by
Chief Justice Start. This decision leaves
the coast clear for the public school union
and associated organizations which have
taken UP the matter of providing for the
schools in the future to take action at
once In the preparation of petitions TO
the district court for the appointment of
a charter commission to formulate a
new charter for submission to the people
of The city.
The contention made by the opponents
of a new charter that the enabling act
is faulty in that it will not allow the city
of the special school law Of 1897, Is COM
batted by the friends Of the home rule
charter amendment, which, they contend,
pursues a theory of the powers of ma
inequalities exactly the opposite from
that set forth by C. n. Bell, the Trainer
of the present city charter, who belongs
to the school of strict constructions S.
50 TO speak. contending that cities have
10 powers other than those which arc
expressly conferred on them. The view
of tho supporters Of the home rule idea
is that the people of the municipality
have primary power In all things VIII Oh
are not expressly forbidden by the con-
stitutton, following out the tenth amend
ment to the federal constitution, which is:
THE powers not delegated to the United
States by the constitution, nor prohibited
by it to the states, are reserved to the
states respectively, or 10 the people,
This in brief is the basis Of the home
rule idea, which has found expression in
the amendment to the constitution voted
on by the people of Minnesota at the cleo
tiol Of 1898.
The voters Of st. Paul are well-nigh
unanimous upon the question of so
amending the city charter that fr Will
amply provide for school buildings teach
ers and maintenance, and it Is really TN
fortunate that there should be any wait
whatever in setting the proper machinery
in motion to get what Is wanted. The
district court is fully Informed as to the
school status and fully empowered to
appoInt a charter commission without he
necessity very fatiguing and very slow,
of waiting for 10 per cent Of the voters to
ask for The commission. The G b e be-
lieves the community would fully sustain
the Judges il they would proceed to ap-
point the commission without further ado.

SCHUBERT RECITAL.
Seasons Opening at the Grand
Shows Unusual interest

The opening Schubert recital of the
season was greeted yesterday afternoon
by a large and fashionable audience The
clubs wisdom in selecting the Grand
opera house for its recitals this fall was
plainly evidenced. There were few vacant
seats in the house and the by no means
small number of men present showed not
only masculine appreciation of some fine
musical numbers, but also apprecia--
ton of the more convenient down town
locale. Mrs. Denis Follett was chairman
for the day and the following women
were ushers: Mrs. John Knuppe, Mrs. D.
s. Sperry, Mrs. T. F. Mccormick, Miss
Rose Nabersburg, Miss Jewett and Miss
Finch. of Hastings
Of the programme presented too much
in praise cannot be said The two vocal
lists, Miss Katherine Richards Gordon
and Mr.. Lewis Shave, are such thorough
favorites with st. Paul audiences that the
announcement of a joint recital by them
is sufficient to presage that recital's ar
tistie success. The Schubert club de-
serves special credit for aiming, as it
continually does, at quality, not quantity.
1t would be difficult to conceive of a
more recherche little musical feast than
that presented yesterday.
Miss Gordon's opening number, an aria
from "Jungfau Won Orleans, by
Tschaikowsky, was a fine bit of tone
painting. Beginning with the recitative,
expressive of fear, resignation and a
certain sad finality, and finishing with
the fmpassioned farewell, the singer
proved herself fully equal to dramatic
as well as vocal tax.
Later Miss Gordon sang S,ordanis
"CaTo Milo Ben" and Dvoraks 'Zigeuner-
lied" OPP No. A. Three lighter numb srs,
Creghs 'Barcarolle,' "Chanson de Scoz-
zone" from Saint-Saens' "Ascania,' and

Further Attacks Upon Governments
War Policy at Close.


LONDON, Oct. 27-The third reading
of the appropriation bill in the house Of
commons today gave an opportunity for
further attacks on the governments war
policy. Gavin Brown Clark, Radical, for
merly consul general of the Transvaal,
accused the secretary Of state for the
colonies, Mr. Chamberlain, of publishing
an emasculated version Of the Boer fran
chise bill passed by the voiksraad.
Mr.. Chamberlain tartly repudiated this.
He said the bill was published exactly
as received from Secretary of State
ReitZ.
Thomas Gibson Bowles, Conservative
member for Lynn Regis, referred to the
heavy military task before the govern
ment, and said he feared the foreign pow
ers would take advantage of Great Brit
aims difficulties to make an attempt upon
her possessions. All the great powers eX
cept Austria, he stated hated Great
Britain.
Mr.. Lloyd George, Radical member for
the Carnarvon district declared the Of
fers Of the Transvaal had been misrep
resented, whereupon Mr.. Chamberlain
jumped up and protested, and the speak
er, Mr. William Court Gully, interviewed.
Mr.. Lloyd-George then withdrew his eX-
preston regarding Misrepresentation
The session was then suspended until

house reassembled the queens speech
was read and parliament was prorogued,
with the usual formalities.

1t is indeed a most hopeful circum-

Such an event means a evolution. Hanna

doomed to~the fate, which has attended
all his Republican predecessors since the
