ing the out side world, they have
orered the cable to New York
severed. Although the company
owning the cable is largely French
many of the stockholders are Ameri-
cans and a large portion of the busi-
ness done IS Tor the navy department
Of this country. Therefore, appeal
is made to this country for protec-
tion. It is further claimed that, in
accordance with the Monroe Doctrine,
the United States must insist upon
making any necessary interference
with a view to preserving order as
the interference by France in this
instance might result in a similar
condition to that in which the United
States found itself after the battle of
Manila, when withdrawal was in
compatible with the safety Of the
foreign residents of that city.
Through the Officiousness of some
member of his force, Secretary Moody
Of the navy has been placed in an
embarrassing position. The secrr-
tary invited the members of the SEN
ate aud house committees on naval
affairs to be his guests on the Dolphin
during the naval maneuvers this
month. Some one of the secretary's
subordinates applied to the comptrol-
Ter of the treasury to know if the ex-
penses Of the Legislators could be de-
frayed out of the treasury funds, and
has received a negative reply. Sec
tary Moody desired no such informa-
tion as he had known the law from
the first, and intended to entertain
the members Of the committees at
his own expense. 1t is not estimated
that the mess rate, which is what the
secretary will have to pay, will be
over 81 per day, per man, and that is
not only paid by the secretary in this
instance, but is paid even by the
president for every person who ac-
companies him on his frequent trips
on the Sylph, the Dolphin and the
Mayhower. OF course, in the event
that trip is planned by congress,
that body can make a special appro-
priation to cover the expenses of its
members when on board naval
vessels, as was done during the
Columbus naval review in 1893.

WILL SELL BONDS
School Board Finds the Step Nee
essary Now.
Akron Grows Rapidly and the Boards Ex-
penses Are Very High.

The School Board will sell bonds to
the amount Of $4,000, as soon as the
necessary steps have been taken, and
the money will be used to help pay the
expenses Of the Board, which has been
running behind for some time. A res
olution for the sale of the bonds car
ried at the meeting Tuesday night,
and was presented by Mr., slabaugh,
who after his motion had been pre-
sented, spoke somewhat as follows:
During the net eight months, our
regular expenses will be about $4,000
monthly, Our clerk reported tonight
that ne have $27,o2S.4s on hand. The
payroll as passed tonight will make
that amount look exceedingly small,
to say nothing OF the $4,000 refunding
bonds that are coming due very soon.
The bonded Indebtedness of the Board
is now $135.000, and after the 1000
refunding bonds have been taken care
of, we will start the new year with a
bonded indebtedness OF $l65,OO0. II
we make this sale.
"Eyen If we do so, we viii be out Of
money again by Feb. l, and will have
to anticipate the next collection, for
our money.
Now, gentlemen, It will be neces-
sary for this Board to make only such
expenditures hereafter as shall be alb
solutely necessary. Neither luxury OIL
convenience may be considered, unless
we want to- get deeper and deeper in
debt as we 90 along. This sale OF $40,

600 bonds is the limit permitted by
law, unless we leave the matter first
to a vote of the people,"
The bonds are to be sold for the
purpose of obtaining and improving
school property" which in this case
means the completion Of the new Lane
school.
Mr.. James, who also spoke, in analy-
xing the condition which has caused
the Board to be under continuous and
heavy expense, said in part: 4
1--WE are called upon to provide for
a constant influx of newcomers to
Akron. The children OF such persons
must be provided with schools at once.
Very often the parents are not taxpay-
ers, at least until some time after their
arrival here AS long as Akron con.
tinues to grow in the marvellous way in
which 1t as been growing of late years,
we, may expect to have just such a
heavy expense. When the city stops
growing, we may catch up, but as il
is we are confronted with the expense
and we must meet it, The building OF
still another school building will prob,
ably be necessary in another year"
