The question of ventilation for school No.
50, one of the buildings TO which an addi-
ton was built last summer, occupied a
part OF the time of the School Board last
night. The board is not satisfied with the
heating and ventilating system of the
building. The boards architect declares
that the work was not done according to
Specifications, while the contractors assert
that the contract was carried out properly.
Business Director Cleland has been talking
with the contractors and, last night, re-
ported what they would do. They are will
ing to put in fresh air ducts, which will
improve the ventilation, it is believed. The
contractors demanded $50 additional for
this work and the board has decided to
pay the amount.

Notes of the stnRe.

The matinee and night performances at
the Park Theater to-day will likely receive
liberal patronage, as there are many at
tractive features.
Miss Lucille La Verne has just received
fattering offer to create character in a
large production now under way by East
ern theatrical managers.
The closing attraction at Englishs Opera
House next week is the annual big minstrel
carnival of the Elks. Those who partici-
pate in these entertainments have become
proficient in minstrelsy.
The Social Maids" after successful
engagement at the Empire Theater, will
close tonight The patrons of the theater
recognize the company as one of the best
that ever visited the house.
Next week the patrons of the Park will
have abundant opportunity to laugh. since
Johnny and Emma Ray are to produce
the first three days, beginning Monday
afternoon.
Souvenir photographs of Lucille La
Verne. taken in various pleasing costumes
and attractive poses, will be distributed
TO all ladies who attend the opening per-
Torrance of Carmen" at the Grand OPP
era House Monday night.
Joseph Gavin, treasurer of the Grand
Opera House, says that ii takes at least
two matinees each week to accommodate
the large numbers of women who desire to
see the stock company at a time of day
when they are already down town.
Comparatively few minstrel shows are
booked for the Park during a season, but as
a rule they are of high order Vogel and
Deming's Ministries, who are to fill out the
week at that house, beginning next Thurs
day afternoon, are said TO give an excellent
entertainment.
William H. Crane is to portray two of his
best characters during his engagement at
English's Opera House next week. Mon
day night he will appear as Peter Dibdin in
"A Rich Mans Son. and Tuesday night as
Major Richard Fairfax in his beautiful
play Of last season, entitled "A Virginia
Courtship.'
Probably no play by native author has
been so steadily successful as has Hearts
of Oak" the play which James A. Herne
wrote a score Of years ago. and in which he
appeared for many seasons. "A big revival
of this fine old melodrama is to be given at
English's Opera House next Wednesday
and Thursday nights. and also at special
matinee Thursday.
Alice Nielsen and her manager, Frand
L. Perley have displayed excellent judg-
ment in carrying the scenery and equip
ment necessary TO produce THE Fortune
Teller on their present tour. This tune
full opera, which is to be revived at Eng
lish's Opera House tonight, made one OF
the notable hits of last season, and many

production of the same opera to taking
chances on a new and untried piece.

recent earthquakes, which were felt
throughout Mexico. did much greater dam
age than was indicated by the earlier re-
ports. Advices from remote coast and
mountain towns just received tell of great
destruction to property and considerable
loss Of life. The severe seismic shocks had
remarkable effect on the sea, causing II
to roll inland and covering the country for
a distance of over one mile from the beach.
This tidal inundation occurred three times
in rapid succession. and every movable
thing in its path was swept away. num-
Der OF small coast villages were destroyed
and there was some loss OF life. but no
definite Information has been received as
to the number Of persons drowned. This

corded the people the right of self-govern-
ment; the adoption of constitution and
the establishment Of permanent form of
government not interfering with the SOW
ereignty of the United States over the
island or it's inhabitants This amendment
was followed by another by Mr.. Stewart
striking out the provision levying duty
on Porto Rican goods and providing that
they should be admitted free into the
United States.
A spirited debate was participated in by
Mr.. Foraker. Mr.. Teller. Mr.. Stewart and

revenues. Every dollar levied as duties
would be turned into the treasury of the
island and the committee held that this
was the only practicable means of securing
the needed funds. I'VE do not propose to
deal with the people of Porto Rico in
equitably," said Mr.. Foraker. 'Tt is true
we have to put duty of Is per cent Of the
ucts imported into this country from the
island, but ii is also true that we have
given every dollar back to them for their
own benefit. We do not take dollar from
them. We impose the duty because ii is
needed for revenue. All of the industries
on the island are paralyzed. IT, in accord

EFFECT OF THE open DOOR,:
Mr. Foraker said that In his mind the
fact that this bill raises a question which
could be determined only by the Supreme
Court of the United States was more i'm
portant than the levying of a tariff on
Porto Rican products. Beyond Porto Rico
lie the Philippines. 1t has been suggested
that in our Eastern possessions We shall
have the "open door" II we open the
Philippines to the trade of all the world we
shall have the products of the world poured
into the United States and our whole pro-
tective tariff system will fall TO the ground
This raises question which il is entire

the heart OF man to conceive.
But Christ said very little about what we are

HOAR WOULD SEAT QUAY.
An hour and half of the session was
devoted to consideration of the Quay case
Mr.. Hoar presenting an able constitutional
argument I'm favor of the seating of Mr..
Quay on the grounds mainly, that II was
the intention of the trainers of the Consti-
tuition that the Senate at all times should
have its full quota of members Mr. Hoar
when asked rs to presidents in cases In
volving the seats of senator's. said: ''The
precedents in all election cases are of the
least value Of any precedents of any ju-
dicial or quasi judicial tribunals Political
and personal feeling largely enters into the
determination of these cases and the es-
Enlistment of these 'precedents. Senators
Messrs. Mantle. Allen and Beckwith were
decided against these gentlemen because
they were silver men and the Senate was
about to enter upon the consideration of a
repeal of the Sherman law. 1 believe" he
said, that this question will never be set
tied by any vote until IL is settled in the
right by the Senate The right of the State
and the right of the people is that every

AT the opening OF the session Mr.. Perkins
presented petition Of the California dele
cation in Congress OF thirty-five associa-
lions and of 1900 people OF California
against the ratification OF the French and
Jamaican treaties. Mr. Hoar made the
point against the petition that IL ought to
be presented in executive session. and that
even there he would question the right of
a state congressional delegate to make
such a petition. Mr.. Perkins thought the
right of petition was sacred at all times,
but the chair held that the whole matter
would have to go over to an executive
session.
Mr. Pettigrew secured the adoption of the
following resolution: THAT the President
be requested, II not Incompatible with the
public interest TO send to the Senate a
statement OF the number of saloons that
have been established in Manila, p. L.,
since the occupation of that city IA the
United States forces; who conducts these
saloons. who are their patrons and what
kind OF liquors are sold and the quantity of
such liquor. The President is also request
ed TO inform the Senate OF the number. IL

English plan In Manila before We occupied
the place. The President Is also requested
to inform the Senate whether or not IL is
within his power as cOmmander-fn-chief OF

in Manila and prohibit and prevent the sale
of liquor TO our soldiers.

be allowed three assistants, whose duties
will be TO look after the enumerators and
Inspect their reports. They will be allowed

he had as many applications for places as
er.umerators as there are places, but the
applications were still coming In. Most of
these are made by people living on the
North Side. The applicants will not be ex-
amined for several days. Mr.. Clifford said
that IL would be an Injustice to ask a
downtown enumerator To work for the
same money those working i'm the resi-
dence part, and therefore he would try TO
