TROUBLE OVERCOME.
Selection of New Site for ColOred
School Removes Cause.

Selection of New Site for ColOred
School Removes Cause.
When last September the District Com
missioners, agreed to purchase from Mrs.
Mary NJ Pollard lots and 7. square GIT,
as site for a colored public school, pro-
tests against the erection of the proposed
school in that locality were filed with them
by property owners and residents, and also
by the authorities Of the Homeopathic Hos
pital Having accepted the proposal of
Mrs. Pollard, through Mr.. Joseph 1. Weller
her agent, to sell the land, the Commits
sioners, while desirous of respecting the
protests filed with them. found that their
acceptance bound them, and that the owner
Of the land offered could compel the execu-
ton of the contract to purchase.
Since then, however they have, 1t is un-
derstOod, been endeavoring to effect an ar
rangement by which they could purchase
another site for the school, Such an ar
rangement is said to have at length been
made whereby Mrs. Pollard is said to have
sold the lots to Mr. Melvin @. Benz min,
who has in pursuance of the arrangement
released the Commissioners from all obli-
cations by reason of the contract Of pur-
chase made with Mrs Pollard. The con-
veyance to Mr.. Benjamin Is said to have
been made through Mr.. Chas. H. Tickling,
who has sold to the Commissioners as the
new site for the school lots 2 to 10, inclu-
sive, square 615, street between North
Capitol and 1st streets west. 1t Is under
stood that those who protested against
the location of the school on Mrs. Pollard's
lots, N street between North Capitol and
1st streets west, or some Of them, contrib
uted toward the purchase by private par
ties of the site first selected by the Commits
Sioners.
Mrs Pollard has asked that the sum of
$50 II penalty against lots and 7, square
617, for non-payment Of special assess
ments be remitted, and the deputy auditor,
Mr.. Alexander Mckenzie, has recommend
ed that. In the absence of information as to
whether or not this special tax was con-

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, February 19-Liquidation
was again responsible for an uncertain and
nervous stock market. Traders offered
prices down in the hope of catching stop
orders and directing attention to the CAM
paign of depression. The position OF the
larger interests was in doubt, some selling
being credited to the banking interest, but
such rumors almost always brought out de-
malls. In any event the market was we'll
supplied with stocks from some source and
improved prices were not made.
The Erie stocks opened at slight ad-
vances as the result Of the favorable de-
cision in the matter of the Pennsylvania
Coal consolidation, but they soon became
heavy in sympathy with the tone OF the
general market. The buying of Union Pa
c1f1c was more effective, the stock rallyIng
sharply in sympathy with an inside de-
mand: The strength of the common stock
or this company is one of the strongest
features of the market.
Burlington held moderately we'll under a
manipulative demand, and there was no
news to explain its recent advance. The
pest opinion seems to be that the advance
was forced by speculative pool and that
no deal is impending. Practically all of the
shares which have been the subjects Of
deais and combinations were reactionary
under mixed selling in which liquidation
was pronounced.
The American Steel and Wire meeting
passed off in a routine manner, in spite of
the great prominence given 1t during the
last few weeks. The sale of the steamship
property was sanctioned there was no gen
eral overthrowfng of the management and
there was almost no inclination toward ad-
verse criticism. The real reason for such
proceedings Is probably due to the fact
that the company is to pass over to the
steel pool and be taken in on such a basis
as Will dispose of all disputed questions.
All of the steel shares were active again
today, but were decidedly irregular. The
latest signs point to an interchangng of
basis Of share for share in the new COM
pany. American Smelling stock was strong
during the early trading, but reacted later

Everett Hayden Appointed.

In pursuance of a special act of Congress-
Ensign Everett Hayden, United States
navy. retired. has been appointed lieu
tenant on the active list in the same reia-
tive position he would have occupied had
he not been retired. Ensign Hayden was
retired on account of disabilities. While on
detached service making geological sur
veys he fell over a precipice and broke his
leg. The action of Congress in authorizing
his restoration to the active list is said to
be largely due to a recent opinion of the
Attorney General that an officer physically
disqualified for service need not neces-
sarily be retired If competent to perform
naval duty on shore. Owing to the loss of
his leg Lieut.. Hayden will be assigned per-
manently TO shore duty.

RESENTED BY THE SENATE.
Denial of House Assertions About
Tobacco and Revenue Reduction.

Denial of House Assertions About
Tobacco and Revenue Reduction.
Members Of the Senate resent the asser-
ton that the House was hoodwinked by
the Senate into making a reduction Of the
size of packages Of smoking tobacco legal
lied in the war revenue act Of '98, whereby
the tobacco trust derived a benefit in spite
of the increase Of tax required. Attention
Is called to the fact that, instead Of the
Senate having reduced the size of the
packages under that provided by the House
bill of '0s, the size Of the package was in
creased by the Senate over that provided in
the bill as 1t passed the House. AS 1t
passed the House the '98 bill provided for
package Of one and three-f1fths ounces, en-
abling the trust to get 90 cents pound on
tobacco sold in these packages; whereas
the Senate, after the bill was reported
from the committee on finance, increased
the size of these packages Of 1A ounces.
which reduced the trusts selling price to
fraction over 45 cents per pound. Senators
point to this official record to show that II
the trust is benefited by the smaller pack
ages, the reduction of the packages cannot
be charged upon the Senate by the House
committee. With reference to continuance
Of the small packages in the new bill as it
passed the Senate, which, 1t has been said,
was done in the interest of the trust a let
ter showing that the Treasury Department
recommended that change be made Is
furnished for publication. 1t was addressed,
finance committee. by Robert Williams, jr.
acting commissioner of internal revenue
1t said:
referring to your letter of the 31st ulti-
mo- you are respectfully advised that this
Office is Of the opinion that no change Is
desirable or necessary III the statutory
packages in case the tax on tobacco is re-
duced to cents:
First, because the manufacturer can ad-
just the statutory package to the selling
price by the quality of the tobacco to be
contained In the package.
Second, because a change in the statu-
tory package would impose unnecessary ex-
pense in the manufacture of new dies and
plates, the cancellation Of orders and con-
tracts for materials and stamps, for changes
In machinery for packing and preparing
packages, etc.
Third, because change Of this charac-
ter would create new conditions and intri-
cacies which would embarrass both manu-
facturer and dealer as well as the account
