Bond Issue Still.

The bond issue IN this school dis.
trIct commands increasing attention
as the time approaches for the cleo.
ton. Every citizen in the district is
interested because it affects him, as
everything along the line Of taxation
does.
1.-THE people are talking it, as perhaps
they have never talked any other
subject, unless it be politics. There
is no politics in the movement. This
is a fortunate condition and every
man can feel free to vote as he thinks
best without considering political
aNiiation. is true that the present
school board is composed Of Republi-
cans. but it is not governed by politi-
ell motives. To the contrary the
board appears to have in view only
the welfare Of the people and espec-
tally the lchildren OF the district. II
recognizes the fact that steps must be
taken at once to give them the edu.
cational advantages they ought to
have, and with this in view and to
overcome the handicap the law placed
upon it it had the legislative act
passed.
The spirit Of the beard to advance
the school interests is commemorate
and there are none who can find fault
With it and be for the best interests
Of the people,
That the board would be economi-
cal in the expenditure u the money
no one has the slightest doubt. That
the board is one Of integrity, no enc
dare gainsay. That it has the educa-
tional Interested the district at heart
every one believes. That il desires
to use good Judgment, there can Be
no question. But with all these
granted, the members Of the board
are merely the servants of the people
and they best fiji their oflios. when

AGAIN, the recent history OF the |
city teaches that the central part Of
the city is being taken up with bust
ress houses and that to some extent
the resident portions are gradually
retreating to the suburbs. This may
mean IN the future that all the cen
tral portion of the city will be devoted
TO business, although the city is 50
laid out that there will always be a
strip the entire length OF it on one
side that viii be resident section.
In this connection, it is foretold that
Glen Elk within five or ten years winI
be devoted to business exclusively, the
residences being forced to give way to
houses OF that character. There is
considerable evidence of that already.
or course, II this situation is material.
lied, it would be absurd to erect a
ward school building in that section,
and no intelligent citizen Of that ward
would ask it.
Another feature Of the bond issue
and especially of the proposition to de-
vote the funds to "a central building is,
that, while there are 50 few graduates
among the young men Of the city, it
is on account OF the fact that before
they complete the course, their par
ents take them out OF the school and
send them away to college, where, Of
course they must undergo preparatory
training before they can enter the col
lege proper. Why this is done IS not
plain. The course of instruction here
is certainly thorough enough as far as
it.goes and, therefore, there is no ne
cessity to send students away to learn
what they could easily do at home,
but that is a personal matter with
parents. 1t, however, to a certain ex-
tent explains why there are 50 few
ypunp men graduates here.
With the voters residing in the dis
trict but outside the corporation the
central school building idea is posi-
bly, more popular than the other idea,
especially in the sections where they
have already schools such as the ward
school would be. Naturally, if they
favor the bond issue at all, it would be
their ambition that there mi bit be a
high school, to which they could send
their children after they have finished
the course Of the school in their sec
ton. With these, however, the idea
may prevail, that since they have a
school convenient, it is all they desire
and they cannot see the necessity for
buildings elsewhere. That would be
au unpatriotic attitude, as well as
very selfish. 1t should be remember
ed that the entire district paid for the
school houses in those particular sec
lions and that all the people are help
ing to support those schools. Again,
itshould be remembered that those
sections had the same right in the
central building that Others had be-
fore the buildings were erected and
that they have never been deprived Of
those rights and can not be after their
children finish the prescribed course
in those schools which is The same as
is taught in similar grades in the cen
traI school, There should be no am
mostly Or opposition shown by them
toward the bond issue, provided plan
can be agreed upon by the people for

 Court of Appeals.

St. Paul, Minn., April 9.-Ahe position of the United States government In the suit brought against the Northern Se- curities company, the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern railways and individual officers and directors of these companies, was sustained in the decis- ion handed down in the United States circuit court of appeals in this city to- day. The case was originally brought in the United States district court here but under special act of congress was taken at once to the court of appeals, which court was to expedite the hear ing and decision of the case in every manner possible. The taking of testi- mony in this city and in New York last ed for several weeks and the arguments in St. Louis before Circuit Judges Cald- we'll Sanborn, Thayer and Vandevan- ter, took several days.

Trial Boat for Reliance Soon to Have
 Her First Spin.
 Bristol, R. l., Apri l9.-W. C. Oliver Iselin managing owner of the Reliance, arrived from Newport this afternoon on the Sunbeam and found that the crew had completed the second turn of bur nishing the underbody of the yacht and had started to go over the boat for the third time. The cementino of the joints had been completed and to-mor- row another coat of paint will be placed on the topsides and the name Reliance will be painted on the stern. The spar makers were at work to-day shaping out the ends of the bowsprit and the work on this spar Is nearly finished. Great things are expected of the silk and Sea Island cotton spin maker which is to be made for the Reli- ance. The cloth is in Progress. of be- ing woven in one of the New Bedford mills and the completed material is ex- pected here in a few days.
 The greater part of the sail will be composed of cotton since that material stands tsrain and wear so we'll but suf- ffcient silk will be introduced into the cloth to secure the desired lightness.
 The Constitution was warped out in to the stream this afternoon and a gaff taken aboard. Her mainsaiI will be bent in the course of few days and it is expected that the yacht will have her first spin some time next week.

LOWELL STRIKE SITUATION.
Moral Effects of Arbitration Boar d Already Felt.

Lowell, Mass, April 9.-While the brief session to-day of the state board of arbitration and conciliation which has come here to discover if possible common ground upon which the mill corporations and their 17,000 idle oper- atives can get together was not pro- ductive of k definite results, the moral effects of the investigation are already felt. There was persistent rumor to- night that the mills will be opened Monday, the supposition being that the corporations prefer to hazard the chance of a, conflict with the strikers, ito having their books examined and personal business methods given the publicity consequent to such an inves- tigation. If they succeed in stamped ing the employees, and there is reason to believe that they think they can, there will be no need of further inter- ference by the board. The mill agents refused to deny or confirm the rumor, but usually we'll informed member of the textile council said tonight that l1e had definite information to the effect that at meeting of mill streasurers this afternoon it was decided to open the mills Monday and make an effort to resume operations in all depart inents.
 Should such a course be pursued the textile council will accept the challenge and is confident of being able to hold in line sufficient number of opera tives to make general resumption im- possible.

DR. rvM. AUGUSTUS DURRIE.
one of Yaie's Oldest Graduates Passes -s t., Away.

Dr. William Augustus Durrie, aged eighty years, died at his late residences in East Orange, N. J., on Wednesday,.

He settled in Jersey City in 1s47, being the first homeopathic physician in that place. After very successful practice he retired in 1884 and removed to East Orange for peace and rest in the golden years of his life. He was gentleman of high character and attainments, simple in habits but profuse in gener- osity and charity he was beloved by many.
 Dr. Durrie's father was a well known New Haven business man. He was John Durrie of the long noted and suc- cessful firm of Durrie & Peck, book publishers and booksellers. One of ths members of the firm, MT. Peck, was mayor of New Haven about fifty years ago. The firm retired from business many years ago. H. H. Peck, now in business on Center street, succeeded to the firms business.
 A sister, Mrs. Martha Simmons, is at present resident of New Haven. He also leaves one brother, Austin G. Dur rie Of the New York office of the As- sociated, Press. Another brother was the late John Durrie of this city, a we'll known landscape artist. Miss Mary Durrie, formerly a teacher in the New Haven public schools, was a niece.
 He leaves the following children: Mrs. J., Cooke Waldron of Upper Mont clair, N. J., Dr. William A. Durrie of Jersey City,. Mrs. George Smith of Scranton, Penn, and John Durrie of East Orange.

Another yachtsman declared that for the first time the cup was really in dan- ger. He thought that if Shamrock III could make so good showing at the outset, she could certainly be depended upon to do much better after she had been turned up, and that there was at least an even chance that the races next wear for the cup would be sailed in Brit ish waters. The winds to-day were, however, in her favor, and it was still matter for conjecture hat she could do in a, reefing breeze, which might be ex- pected at any time off Sandy Hook.
 London, April 10.-The unexpectedly good performance of Shamrock III yes- terday has greatly increased public in terest in her doings. Hitherto, the trials have been regarded with a certain de- gree of apathy, but the challenger's showing yesterday, is reviving the hopes of her winning the cup. The papers are giving greater attention to the trials and the match arranged for Saturday is looked forward to with keen interest.
 The racing yesterday was chiefly in- tended to test the effect of change of trim. The conventional method of plac- ing all the available weight aft had previously been followed, and the same plan was adopted yesterday in the early part of Shamrock ITS leeward work with the same result, Shamrock hold ing her own with the challenger. Then it was decided to change the challeng- er's trim, thus lifting the counter slight ly and the crew were mustered amid ships. This resulted in the surprise of the day. Under the altered trim the challenger immediately showed great liveliness and passed the ex-challenger as though the latter were anchored. The important point was bringing the crew forward as anchor and chain had been carried in all trials except that of We'd nesday, when they were left ashore.
 All the papers remarked the challeng- CTS enhanced chances. The Daily Tel egraph says the performance came as a genuine surprise. Shamrock was more than a match for Columbia, running in light winds, and the conditions yester- day were just those in which the old outsailed the cup defender in the early abortive races four years ago. If the challenger continues the Daily Tele- graph, is able to show similar form in 8 heavier wind it should go far to estab- fish feelin gof confidence in Sir Thom- as Lipton's chances Of lifting the cup.

THREE KILLED ON THE IOWA
THE FORWARD PORT TWELVE
 INCH GUN BURSTS.
Battieship at Target Practice at the Tims-Mcn Killed Wore on the Second OF Gun Deck at Mcss-Ton Pieces of the Gun Pass Through Several Decks Landing on tse Men at Mess.

Pensacola, Fla, April 9. - A disas- trous explosion occurred on the battle ship Iowa to-day while the vessel was at target practice in the gulf. The for premature explosion of shell, twelve feet of the piece outside of the turret being demolished. Three men were kill ed and five injured, two seriously.
 The killed as First Class Seaman Kiele, Ordinary Seaman Percell and Gunners Mate Berry.
 The injured are First Class Seaman Caught, Ordinary Seamen Thursdale, Brown, Mansdale, and Purucker.
 The men killed and injured were on the second, or gun dack, at mess. Three pieces of the exploded gun, each weigh ing over a ton,> passed downward through the spar deck, falling upon the men at mess, instantly killing the three named, All of the men were horribly n1utilated. The heavy missiles after passing through the gun deck, continued down to the third deck, where they came in contact with the armored deck, the heavy steel bringing them to stop, thus saving the engineers and firemen who were at work below. Although the upper decks were covered with men no one there as seriously injured. The ex- plosion occurred just as the mess call had been sounded. Firing was to have ceased after the shot for the dinner hour. The range had been set and the Iowa was steaming along at a. speed of F knots an hour when Lieutenant Reed, in charge of the forward 12-inch turret, gave orders to load and fire. The time fuse was cut for the range, the piece charged, breech closed and the word given to fire. Following the report of the gun there was smothered noise as the shell exploded midway in thegun and pieces of the bursted gun and shell were scattered broadcast. Three great holes were torn through the deck Those who were below began coming on deck, some bloody and mutilated while lying on the floor, crushed almost beyond rec ognition, were the three unfortunate men. The Massachusetts, six miles distant, was signalled for aid and one of the cutters put off with the surgeon and assistants. The wounded men were taken to the hospital and their injuries dressed The dead were brought to, Pensacola.
