School Board Consents to a
 Small Donation.
TO CITY COUNCIL
For General Municipal Purposes. Resisted the Demand for $IO,Ooo, With the Result a Compromise.
 Hope field Out for More Crumbs.

A truce reignS between council and school beard, although, contrary 10 general cp non, the alleged bad blood" between the two august bodies has been largely a matter of inagina- Litn.
 The council, of course, wanted q share of the thirty odd thousand dol lar, which has inured to the benefit of the school fund since Nov. l. After Judge Wicker-hrm had breathed life Into the school board and gave them to understand that they were it" in all matters apnertaining 10 school affairs, the school board is charged with al once becoming "biggity;" that IS to say they got the '',welled head' and wele inclined to be "'igh and 'aughly" with the tnce dominant council. The school board, at least the chairman, Dr. Chambers, denies this, however, and states that the board was always d sposed to treat their former su- periors council-fairly, and not with disdain.
 Be that as it may, the school board agreed. after some sparring for wind, to let the council have $4,0O0. The council asked the district court, by pe- tition. for SIG, and the matter came up on Thursday morning, City Attorney Hog.att appearing for the council and Dr. Chambers for the board. The sI8,oOO application was vigorously pressed and vigorously oppressed, Dr. Chambers urging that no money be turned over to the council until after the election. This did not, apparently, meet with the judge's approval, and he intimated that if the council could not be trusted another one had better be found. The case was not decided on Thursday morning, and in the after noon the council and board ''got to- gether," with the result that S4,0N has been turned over to the city trea- surer for municipal purposes, with the hope held out that if they are real good the council may get sCme more.

SERIOUS TROUBLE AHEAD
FOR THE JAPANESE CABINET

factor in Japanese politics. 1t was
largely because Marquis Ito ignored this
fact that his cabinet went to pieces.
He thought because he had a strong
party behind him in the lower house that
he Mas secure. But the peers asserted
their power with telling effect, and his
only recourse was to invoke the man-
date of the sovereign in order to carry
his measures. The fact that the most
conservative part OF the government
is becoming intensely radical and ag-
gressive excites much interest and com.
ment.
The native press is still dwelling upon
the failure OF the council Of the powers
to bring the Msnchurian question to
definite settlement and strongly insists
that all the peace negotiations will prove
a sham until such settlement is made.
Russia is recognized as the only gamer
in the whole course of the Chinese trou-
BILE, and that she has carried all points
in the peace arrangements is universally
conceded
The vote of the Corean government
upon the export of cereals from that
country seems destined to make trouble
with Japan, inasmuch as 1t not Only se-
riously affects her extensive trade with
the peninsula, but it is also claimed to
be in violation of the treaties between-
the two countries. 1t is alleged also
that the drouth in Corea is a mere local
affair and will not In the least affect the
total outcome of the years crop. THIS
question has long been source OF fric-
ton between the two governments.
nhe money market is showing de-
c:ded improvement and stocks are on
the rise in a fashion which seems to
mean a genuine revival in business. The
change is attributed to the fine weather
which has put the rice crop out of dan
| rer. Silk is also looking np. and there
| is a promising inflow OF specie.

that a trifing circumstance first direct

When Joseph F. Annear left last Mon

which will probably lead to the locating
of the men who robbed the Oregon ShOr:

At the time there were many rumors

reticent when it comes to a robbery or
a wreck. They stated then that they
wanted to keep the affair dark. so their
detectives could trace the robbers. which
they could not do if the affair were given

they did do-they have heavily armed
