Special Examinations.

The following letter received by
the County Superintendent will be of
interest to teachers who have re-
quested special examinations:
Miss Mary Harper. Weiser, Idaho.
Dear Miss Hyperion my return to
the office yesterday Ifound your letter
of the 2Sth awaiting me.) During the
winter when it was impossible to find a
sufficient number of teachers for our
schools permitted several special eI
aminations, but now | do not see how l
can give any more. The requests
for special examinations just at
this time are so very numerous that
| could give one every day. Il am very
sorry that is so, but, of course the state
is no more responsible for the delay of
trains than were the teachers themselves. J
II should like TO accommodate the teach
ers greatly, but the abuse Of the privi-
lege has forced me to take this stand.
Very sincerely yours.
PERMEAL FRENCH,
State superintendent of public instruc-
| ton.

Mr.. j. Audley Smith has returned
from long absence at New York
and other eastern points. Mr.. Smith
is quite cheerful over the future
movements of the P. & l. N. and the
Boston & Seven Devils. He seemed
to think there would be favorable
outcome to the negotiations by which
other strong financial interests are to
become associated with Mr.. Hall in
his enterprises here. but he could not
make any definite statement as to
how soon we might look for activity
and resumption of operations. Mr.

600 ton smelter there which is owned
by the parties proposing to become
associated with Hall.

Taft May Succeed shiras.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-The pro- spective retirement of Justice Shiras from the supreme court, which was an nounced by his son some time ago would take place at no very distant date, it is believed here, may result in the promotion to the supreme bench of William H. Taft, the chairman of the Philippine commission. Governor Taft's elevation to that court would be in fulf1llment of the general under standing that he ultimately would be appointed to that court, which exist ed at the time he resigned from the federal circuit bench in Ohio and took up his present duties at the request of President Mckinley. It always will be in the nature of reward for his long and arduous work at the head of the Philippine commission. Should Governor Taft retire the expectation is that his successor as chairman of the commission will be General Luke E. Wright of Tennessee, now vice chair man of the commission.

West Is Still Hot After the Eastern Players.

 Elwood, the Western league tail- ender, is putting up plucby fight in every game and is either losing by one goal or overtime.
 It is likely that there will be rival l league ill the west next season. Ban croft of Cincinnati will be one of the sponsors for the proposed new organ ization.
 Frank Mullen is missing the pres ence of Paddy O'Hara, who has been playing half back for Anderson. Since lO'Hara went out of business Ander- son hasn't won q game.
 1 At Indianapolis Tuesday night Ed Hipson was knocked out for fifteen minutes. While rounding the cage his stick caught in the side and the handle of the club struck him in the stomach.
 Danny Daly is acting peculiarly. Al though he has given MaI Kittredge his word that he will remain in Worces- ter, it would seem from the way he is carrying on that he has been seen by one of those Western league business agents. Lowell Mail.
 Spot Hadley won last nights game at Elwood. He is a heady and con sistent player and Richmond made no mistake in securing his services. l Without him Richmond would have been in a bad way this week with Moran out of the game Richmond Item.
 Manager Durbin of Elwood, Indi- ana, is on his way east, expecting to arrive in Boston today, and his sole object is to steal three Great Ameri- can players from the ranks of the Par sons league. His last words to the ElwoOd polo fans were: 1T will get the best obtainable at any cost.o A dispatch from Clinton says: Man ager William A. Parsons of the Provi- dence team has offered the Clinton management John Wiley, center, and William B. Curtis, rush, and S1,000 for Farrell, and one of the Clinton rushes, or will buy the whole team. The offer has not been accepted"
 The eastern polo managers are sat isfied to let the western people pay Schwab salaries to polo players, know ing that in time this policy will result in more than one western man going broke. Polo players can earn just as much. and managers cannot afford to pay them more and 1ive.-Providence Telegram.
 The Indianapolis management has leased the Cyclorama building and will equip it as q polo rink. It will have a seating capacity of 5000.

 The long-expected Tibbetts struck town Saturday afternoon, and despite | the fact that he had been on the cars 36 hours he donned a uniform and made himself an important factor in 1.-the defeat of the Portland team in the evening. Tibbetts made a hit with the crowd. From the time when he appeared on the surface until he re- tired with the other players at the close of the game there was no doubt as to his popularity. When the root CTS first saw him it was like finding something that has been given up as lost.-Lowell Citizen.

Castro Calls the Communications From Foreign Powers .Requests.'
 CARACAS, Venezuela, Dec. 10.-All German and British subjects in Cara cas- have been arrested.
 President Castro, at the palace, yes terday in reply to questions by a press representative said:
 .sThe Venezuelan government has not received any ultimatum, properly speaking, but rather simultaneous re- quests from Great Britain and Germa- ny. The claims Great Britain asks this government to settle are small, and up to the present time we have not been aware of them. Never having been presented, Venezuela has consequently never refused to settle them. Great Britain's action is therefore without Justification.
 .sThe Venezuelan government cannot decide on foreign claims before the rev olution has been entirely crushed. Al present the only aim of the government is the re-establishment of public order, and other questions must nc&assarily be subseryient to this object. Neverthe- less, to prove Venezueia's desire to set tie all pending claims in conformable manner, the government issued q de cree during the last session of congress, dated Nov. 2S, creating a committee to which all pending claims should be re- ferred. No claims have been presented to this committee, and no claims have been rejected. There has been no de nial of justice. Why, then, should for eign chancellories intervene, thereby ignoring our laws and endeavoring to violate our national sovereignty? We cannot understand this action"
 The correspondent then said to Pres ident Castro:

 Enforce our rights and explain 10 the world that Venezuela has laws and prove that we have revcr denied our engagements"

SPORTING NEWS OF THE WORLD

range matters satisfactorily they snail have it. The American league Will hold it's annual fall meeting this year in New York at the Fifth avenue no Itel, and when that is over the public will be in possession of all the details of o1lr invasion of National league ter ritory.' l Severa1 baseball men said last night that the new American league grounds are located on property owned by the New York Central railroad at Eleventh avenue and Fifty-sixth street, within three minutes walk of the Sixty-sixth street station of the Ninth avenue ele- vated road. Others declared that Lenox avenue and 10th street was nearer the location. Johnson, Somers and Kilfoyle are the most business here in some time.
 While this news was getting out the National league men spent the day at the Victoria hotel, talking in secret session. They were called to order at ? o'clock by Chairman John T. Brush of the executive committee, the new owner of the New York club. The delegates were as follows:
 Boston. A. H. Soden, W. H. Conant, T. B. Billings: Brooklyn, F. A. Abell, H. R. Van der Horst. Edward Hanlon, c. H. Ebbets; Philadelphia, John |. Rogers; New York, John T. Brush, N. Ashley Lloyd, F. M Knowles; Chicago, James A. Hart; St Louis, F. De Hass Robison; Cincinnati. Julius Fleisch- mann and Garry Hermann; Pittsburg, B. Dreyfuss and Harry Pulliam.
 N. E. Young, who has been president or secretary of the league for atdecade. but who has been turned down, was also present, probably for the last time The Manhattan field proposition occupied the attention of the magnates for some time, they said, and also the report of the executive committee, the latter being adopted. Then the dele gates entered into long discussion as to the policy of the league" and that was where the American league night mare came in. Several magnates want to adopt a schedule at once which will take up all the best dates and put it up to the American league to either con flict and fight or take what is left and lose money. in view of the heavy sal ,ary lists that have been assumed by the younger organization. But other conservative owners believe that the old league should go slow. All of the magnates are bitter outwardlZ toward Ban Johnson and his partners, but it's safe betting that if they could see their way clear for a compromise of some sort they would jump at the chance. At least three National league clubs are flying signals of distress and the owners of them are believed to favor peace at any cost.
 At late hour last night the Nation al leaguers were holding quiet confabs and discussing the announcement that the American league had made all ar engagements to come into this city. Sew eral of them whistled to keep up their courage and said boldly: Let them comeI' Then they shiyered.
