HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

1t seems as though the Pedestrian club
has been buried In obscurity for the last
few weeks, but they have ut last shown
themselves. 1t is the determination Of
the members of the club that, as soon as
the weather becomes settled. they will
have a hare and hound race. But this
rather interesting affair is not the only
thing talked of by the members. Mr..
Weisenfuh. secretary of the club. has
received letter from tho Wyoming
seminary, stating that they would be
greatly pleased IL he would select 4 num-
ber of competent athletes from among
the club or school. and after they had
received sufficient training, to have them
take part in the athletic contests which
the seminary are to have some time In
the future. Mr.. Weisenfluh is deter
mined to see II this cannot be done, and
is willing to do his utmost in order that
the Scranton High School may be rep
resented in the field on that day. There
Is plenty of material in the club which,
with a little honest training and practice.
might prove very worthy antagonists for
the seminary boys.
The regular bi-monthly meeting Of the
Literary society will be held Friday of

stating that they would be unable to ac-
cept the challenge to a debate to take
place some time in April as they consid-
cred it too late In the term for such an
affair. 1t is the general opinion Of the
members of the society that a challenge
ought to be sent to the Wilkes-Barre
school.
A number of members Of the school
board attended the chapel exercises at
the school yesterday and were very

| once saw little girl going down
the street in Walden carrying 4 paper
bag containing. n dozen eggs. She
leisurely looked to the right and left
until she stepped off the sidewalk and
falling broke about half the contents
Of that bag. She began crying, and
struck out for the middle of the
street, and had not proceeded half a
block until through binding tears, or
some other obstruction to her sight,
she stubbed her foot on o sage brush
and fell again. smashing all the eggs
but one This time her cries in
creased to such roar that she could
be heard q block away. When she
reached home in such an unhappy
condition as to herself and merchan-
disc her mother gave her a sound
whipping. That was hardly right.
How many men go home with the
gift of "enipty hands" to their fami-
lies, and who, if the truth were known,
lave spent more than eleven out Of
every dozen dollars with less excuse
than the girl broke the. eggs. And
yet they escape without a hogging
Is that justice7 Hardly.

ciates, her hereditary enemies, England
and Germany.
The French government appreciates the
great element OF wisdom in the Muscovite
proposal, recognizing that a continuance
of the present form of occupation would
present early and direct negotiations with
the empress dowager, who fears to return
to the capital, and that, moreover, the ad-
minstration of the affairs of the city
would throw immense responsibility and
labor upon the European commanders.
They would need to undertake the proper
policing of Pekin, with its millions of in
habitants, all of whom are now filled with
hatred for the foreign devils; to arrange
sanitary and fire precautions and an end
less list of other municipal details. This
would be a well-nigh impossible task, in
view of the diverse nationalities and Ian
guages of the army of occupation. The
provisioning and keeping open of com
munication with the sea coast for a large
force in Pekin during the winter, when
the country is snow-covered and frozen,
also presents problem of extreme diff
ficulty.
Another move which would impel
France to follow Russia if the latter with
draws her troops is the fact that the
French forces would thereby avoid re-
naming under command of Field Marshal
Count Won Waldersee. This feeling against
French soldiers taking orders from Ger
man commander, while not openly dis
cussed. is nevertheless very widely nour-
ished among the people here.

st. Louis, Sept. 10.-A special from
Austin, Texas, says:
From Red river on the north to the
gulf on the south and throughout the
central part of the state Texas has been
storm-swept during the last 30 hours
by hurricane which has laid waste
property interests, caused large loss of
life and effectually blocked all tele-
phonic and telegraphic systems, while
operation of railroads has been serious
ly handicapped. Starting with the hur-
ricane which visited the gulf coast Sat
urday and is still prevailing here to
such an extent that no communication
can be had with the island to ascertain
what the loss of life and property is,
the storm made rapid inroads into the
center of the state, stopping long
enough last night at Houston to dam
age over half the buildings of that city.
Advancing inland the storm swept into
Hampstead, so miles above Houston:
thence to Chapel Hill, 20 miles further;
thence to Brennan, 30 miles further,
wrecking all three towns and terrifying
the inhabitants. The Brazos bottom,
which was the scene of disaster last
year as the result of flood, suffered a
large share of damage at the hands of
the cyclone and was swept for fully
100 miles, everything being turned
topsy turvy by the high winds and
much destruction resulting to crops as
well as farmhouse property.
Winds were accompanied by heavy
rainfall.

Houston, Texas, Sept. "a hurricane,
accompanied by heavy rain, has been
blowing along the Texas coast and for a
hundred miles inland today. Galveston
is shut oil entirely. The last report from
Galveston states that the Gulf waters
were encroaching rapidly ON the beach
and that the flood reached into the resi-
dence portion of the city for several
blocks. The waves were very high and
boisterous in the bay and considerable
damage was being done to small craft,
though the big boats were not in any
danger.

Houston, Texas, Sept. 9.-The wind
blew 90 miles an hour in Houston at mid
night and great damage is being done to
business houses and residences throughout
the city. The Associated Press wire is the
only one that is working, all other tele-
graph and telephone business being shut

down, as the wires became crossed with
telephone wires and some persons were
shocked, though none was seriously in

have been blown over and tin roofs are as

Paris, Sept 9.-Fnnce is in a dilemma.
Russia's proposition to withdraw from
Pekin has resolved itself into a problem
for her which French statesmen are now
tackling gingerly. The complete with
drawal from PeIin. after careful consid-
eration is not deemed to be altogether in
line with Frances views and as the most
effective method of dealing with the emp
ress dowager and her clique of advisers
France is now forced TO choose between the
course she would rather adopt and the
policy dictated TO her by the Russian al
lance, and French statecraft has been de-
voted Tor the week past to an endeavor to
splice these two conflicting policies into
a compromise which will not ieopardize
her friendship with Russia and at the same
time will not prejudice her own position
in China. The suggestion, therefore, that
while the bulk of the troops be withdrawn
from Pekin small international force be
still retained in the city comes as a De
culiarly acceptable idea to France. Russia
and Germany appear to be the only serious
stumbling blocks in the way of a general
acceptance of this compromise, the first
named desiring the total withdrawal OF
the allied forces and the latter wishing a
continued occupation. Should the propo
sitiOn fall through and Russia and Amer
lca withdraw all their troops, Frame,
would Immediately follow suit. 1t would
be too rude a shock to the Russo Frenel

and remain in Pellin with, as her asso

Berlin, Sept 9.-The numerous cable
grams arriving imputing to Germany COM
promise propositions in answer to the Rus
so-American proposals, appear baseless.
The correspondent of the Associated Press
learns authoritatively that Germany, re-
plying to the advice to withdraw her
troops from Pekin, has sent Russia de
tailed reasons why this seems inopportune
and calculated to prolOng instead of short
ening the war. The arguments cited in
detail in support OF this contention were
those already given to the Associated Press
by a foreign office official recently, and
appear identical with the arguments ad-
vocated by several other powers.
The situation in China still continues
difficult in a diplomatic sense rather than
from military standpoint. The question
of doubtful credentials in the case of Ii
Hung Chang and other wOuld-be negotiat-
ogs continues TO play an all-important role.
1t is understood that Mr.. Mumm Won
Schwartzenstcin, the German minister to
China, reported from Shanghai to the for
eign Office here that he does not believe
Ii Hung Chang Is properly authorized,
judging from repeated information which
the minister received there on the subject.
