The war Of the languages is being
waged with great determination on
one side and with desperate courage
on the other in Prussian Poland. The
attempt of the Prussian authorities
in Posen to compel the Polish children

proven ineffective so far, through the
refusal of the children TO obey the in
structions of their schoolmasters. IN
spite of floggings and other forms of
physical punishment. The Prussian
government. in explaining its severi.
ties, asserts that it is acting under
the pressure of political necessity.
The Poles, in the Reichstag and out Of
it, have developed a national political
activity which has proven at times
very troublesome to the governments.
Now the authorities of Posen are try
ing to oDllterate the racial tendencies
of the Poles by relegating the Polish
language to a secondary place in their
campaign. so far, however. has had

Mr.. Warner Stutler, Superintendent of
Street Cleaning. who submitted the fol-
lowing statement of the facts connected
with the paving of X Street southeast:
ION December Z, 1896, Secretary Car
Isle sent to Congress certain estimates
for appropriation. and in said estimates
was an item for paving the roadway on
N Slieet SoulHesSt, South Sapitoi
Street to Second Street. This item was
kept in the estimates until it was reached
in the regular order, and 1 am informed
by the Engineer Department that the
work of paving the section of the street
in question was commenced on July Il,
1900, and completed on September 10. 1860.
THE garbage contract was. entered into
on October H. 1900, or about three months
after the paving was begun, and did not
take effect until December /, 1900. or
nearly three months after the paving had
been finished. From further investiga-
tion it is found that neither the garbage
company nor anyone connected with said
company made any request for improve
ments on the street named, and the set
ting of the curb and the paving OF the
street named in no way benefited the
garbage people.
From the foregoing it would appear.
therefore, that Mr.. Donohoe was not JUS
titled in assuming that the paving of the
street referred to was undertaken for the
benefit of the garbage company"

in prices could be referred.
There was much discussion of the eff
fects on business OF stock brokers on
the new ruling on tax collateral and
loans, and perhaps the news as to the
effect of the imposition of the law
might be cited as one of the disquieting
Influences of the day.
