THE PLAN OF CoMBEs.
Meaning of the Change in Methods
 of Instruction.

Meaning of the Change in Methods
 of Instruction.
 Paris, March 19.-The vote in the Cham Der of Deputies yesterday gives definite form to the present policy of the Gov ernment to terminate the existence of the religious teaching orders, and to sub stitute a system of governmental schools.
 The principle of this change was form ulated under the premiership of M. Wall deck Rousseau, but it's actual enforce ment was left to the present Combes ministry. The law voted yesterday is very brief and negative in its terms. simply reciting the authorization to teach all the male teaching orders. The effect of this is to place the orders outside the pale of the law and their further exist- ence Is through suffrance. There remains to De determined the time the orders will be allowed to wind up their affairs and terminate their work.
 Many of the orders. anticipating the Chamber vote of yesterday, have already completed their plans to retire from the field. It is expected that a few months will at most suffice to execute the changes. Numerous incidental questions are involved in the transferrance of the pupils and the effect on the extensive properties and notices of several inter- pellations have been given with the view of securing delay permitting an adJus~ ment of the new conditions The state ments of M. Combes and other mniste- rialists, however. indicate the prompt carrying out of the Premiers policy. An analysis of the vote shows that the ministry retained an ample majority for | all practical purposes, although there was some falling off rom the usual minlste- rial strength twenty-five ministeriaiists separating themselves from the majority | and four not voting, On the other hano the ministerial strength was augmented by scattering votes from the Nadonalists, while practically all the full strength Of the Socialists, Radicals and Gmon Dem ocrats supported the ministry The vote shows that notwithstanding all defectons | the ministry commands more than suil- c,ant strencth to put its policy in execu- | ton.

PALMA IS GRATIFIED.
Says Number of Yeas Was No Great
 CT Than He Anticipated,

Havana, March 19.-President Palma today was shown by the representative of the Associated Press dispatch giving the news of the ratification by the United States Senate of the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
 He expressed his qualification at this action and added that the number of yeas was not greater than he had anticipated
 The action of the Senate renews the hopes of business men that satisfactory arrangement of rates and duties eventu- ally will be reached. The conclusion of a permanent treaty awaits on the decis- ion of the United States government as to whether it will claim sovereignty over the Isle of Pines. There Is no doubt here that the sovereignty of Cuba will be con ceded. President Palma and his cabinet are especially desirous of closing a per manent treaty, because the incorporation of the provisions of the Platt amend ment in this treaty would prepare the way for the removal of the amendment from the constitution and thus dispense with the present bone of contention be- tween the opponents and adherents of the Palma administration. The latter are perfectly willing that this amendment be dropped from the Cuban constitution and as this is what the opposition has contended for, 1t is expected that the re- ouirement for amending the constitution, | namely, a two-third vote of both houses. | will be easily met.

No Danger in Crescent City.

Louisville, Ky, March 19.-Henry Wal ter of this city, who built the cotton ex- change at New Orleans. and was the first civil engineer and architect to construct basement in that city, and who is Well-informed relative to the general sit- uation at New Orleans. today said:
 q have absolute confidence that New Orleans will never suffer from flood. Should the river reach a stage where wa ter would flow over the levee along the city water front, the water would pass through the streets and empty into Lake Pontchartrain. distance of about four miles from the river front, and the cur rent would not be swift enough to do any material damage to the city. It Is an impossibiity for the levees on the river front to break. owing to the grad ual rise of the made land. Should the levees break above or below the city, the water would find it's way into the swamps and into Lake Maurepal and Ponchar- train. and from there through the rigo- let's and Pearl River into Lake Borne, which is a bay of the Gulf of MeMco New Orleans is absolutely safe, in my opinion, for all time to Home."

Two Cars of Cotton Seed Also
 Destroyed.
Bloodhounds will Be Placed on the Trail of the Cracksmen Who Got Away With Be-
 tween $75 and $1oo.

Letohatchie, March, 20-(Special.)- Letohatchie was awakened by a loud ex- plosion shortly after midnight this (Fri- day) morning and 1t was quickly ascer- tained that burglars had blown open . safe in the store of A. J. Jenidns
 Flames originating from the explosion completely destroyed the store and stock. on the Louisville and Nashville sidetrack and were threatening an adjacent house when they were checked about o'clock.
 The burglars escaped with between s75 and s100 taken from the safe. They will be pursued with bloodhounds. which are now on their way here from Fort Deposit. The dogs are being sent here by A. ]. Black of Fort Deposit at the request of officials of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company.
 MT. Jenkins said this morning that he could not estimate his loss. He did not say If he was insured
 The Jenkins store was located about 200 yards east of the railroad depot and was one of the principal business houses of Letohatchie.
 No one saw the burglars and the explo- sion was the first intimation that they were abroad. Men who reached the scene shortly after the report declare that the door to the safe was torn completely from its hinges and there were indica~ tions that dynamite had been used.
 The explosion and the resultant fire caused considerable excitement and many citizens gathered about the railroad de- l pot. .
 telegram was sent to A. J. Black al | Fort Deposit. requesting that blood | hourds be sent to track the burglars. and Mir. Black soon sent word that the dogs would be sent post-haste across the country.
 Citizens express the opinion that a gang of safeblowers are operating in this sec ton. Numerous references have already been made to the fact that a safe in the store of J. J. Nunn, at Autaugaville, q few nights. These are believed to have been members of the same gang.
 Every effort will be put forward to capture the burglars.
