Notwithstanding the rushing busi-

be desired. Men sat about reading
newspapers and magazines which were
piled on the tables and others ate

Raided a Hornets Nest.
OF course such a proceeding as that
of Bishop Potter in giving his sanction
to a tavern could not go unnoticed by
temperance people and as a result a
hornets nest has ibeen stirred up in
that quarter. A storm of protests

NO SETTLEMENT YET.
Masters and Pilots Fa;! TO Reach a,
Agreement After Lengthy
conference

Cleveland, o., May 16.-President Liv,
ingstone of the Lake Carriers asso.
citation, issued u lengthy statement con-
corning the four weeks conference
which ended in a total failure to agree
with the Masters and Pilots associa-
ton. After detailing the points which
have been made public before, he tells
of the last session, when the advisory
board of the Masters and Pilots, after
listening to the arguments of the own
ers, agreed that the offer OF last years
wages was fair, and that they would
80 back to their different lodges or har-
tors and use every effort to have it ac-
cepted.
The owners felt confident that this
action on the part Of the advisory board
would result in a settlement, so mucl.
so. indeed. hat the nag of the
ments of masters. To his great sur
prise. he was notified this morning by
District Captain Howell that none OF
his masters would appear.
Howell further that as
the referendum vote had been against
the acceptance Of the proposed wage
scale ali negotiations that had been
had were declared Off, and that they
would not sail any boat except upon the
stringent conditions and the schedule
Which they originally presented, with
a full seasons pay; an increase to mas
tiers Of almost ID per cent. on the larg-
est vessels. and a much greater in
crease on smaller; also that the matter
of wages would be increased so as to
give them pay for a full season re-
gardlcss of when they report for duty.
Mr.. Livingstone adds:
THE lake carriers can only lament a
condition by which of an average crew
of about twenty, three men, by virtue
alone of their government licenses, are
tying up the entire business of the
lakes, and this, including the men
trusted as the personal representatives
of the owners, vested by law with high
and responsible powers; action which
is stopping wages to the amount of
many thousands of dollars each day
to the vessel crews, and said to de-
prive not less than 100, 600 men of en-
ployed In the various branches con-
nected with the traffic."

A NAVAL SUCCESS.
Succeed in Gripping a Japar
csc Cruiser. But Do Not Sink Il.

Lao Yang. Saturday. May 14.-CDe-
layed in MISUNDERSTANDING Russian
feet scored its first distinct naval sue
cess of the wal on May 10 by the tor
pedoing and Gripping, though not the
sinking, of an armored cruiser in
fallen Wan bay.
The Russian attack was carefully
planned on May 10, while the japanese
squadron was concentrated outside
Dalny, devoting its whole attention to
Talien Wan bay, and was carried out
the same night.
The attacking force was not a regu-
lar torpedo boat, but was only a small
naptha launch in command of q young
naval officer, who had with him three
jackies. The launch mounted a small
machine gun, and carried three torpe-
does.
When darkness fell the launch crept
out of Port Arthur. hugging the shore.
with no lights aboard n no glow
from the engines to betray her pres
ence. 1t was late when she gained the
outer line of the Japanese squadron.
Slipping through the t%orpedoboat pick
cts and selecting the nearest warship,
a big armored cruiser, she stole toward
her side a single torpedo. a deafen-
ing roar followed the explosion, which
echoed far ashore. Immediately flames
enveloped the cruiser, which evidently
was badly crippled.
The crew of the cruiser was seen to
be fighting the fire, which it at last
succeeded in eNtinguishing. A sister
ship took the damaged vessel in tow
and disappeared to the southeast.
The launch escaped the hot fire d.
rected against her by the Japanese
ships, but being unable to return to
Port Arthur or to get into Dalny, she
was beached not far from Dalny.
Only a few of the higher officers We're
aware of the plan. the success of which
depended on secrecy. The achievement
raised the spirits of the Russians, afloat
and ashore, and the young naval officer
who was the hero OF the exploit was
feted and recommended for the cross OF
ST. George.
The Russians on May II. apprehend-
ing that the presence of a Japanese
squadron meant an attempt to capture
Dalny, blew up the piers, n quietly
evacuated the place.
Two thousand japanese have reoc-
cupied the road to S%anchilipu, AGAIN

Caucuses are in progress today in

which La Toilette secured two years

The complications which are to
puzzle the state central committee
when it takes up the credentials have
been increased by q rump "stalwart'

fraud is charged against the La Fol-

aim of the "stalwarts" in this case
seems to be to give the committee
similar causes m both sides. This
will Of course simply Increase the
friction.
A hint that the 104 votes thus far se-
cured by Cook. one Of the "stalwart'
candidates, will create a sensation
when a break comes is causing spec
ulation as to whether Cook. who has
been a "halfbreed" in the past, can
hold his entire force against LaFtI-
lette when the time ZONES for them to

numbers, will have to go to Cook to

schools should not be member of the
school committee.
At the adjourned meeting of the Leg
islature held i'm September 1908 Il revis-
ion of the statute was passed. In COM
piling this revision, the above act rela-
tive TO the election of a superintendent
OF schools in cities, was evidently over
lOoked-for the law in it's reading, after
providing that the superintendent of
schools shall be elected annually and
4 hat he shall not be a member of the
committee, goes on to say this act shall
not apply to cities. 1t is the opinion
therefore. of City Solicitor Became and
also of other counsel that the repeal of
THE statute leaves this city without any
statute law under which n superintcn-
dent of schools can be created. This
being the fact, i'm the absence of any
statute law covering the point in queS-
ton, il becomes necessary to fall back
upon the revised ordinances of the
city.
Chapter II, Section of the city orli-
nances provides as follows: "The
school committee shall annually elect
one of it's members supervisor of
schools, who shall be cx-officio sccrc-
tary OF the committee. 1t shall be the
duty Of the said supervisor to have a
general oversight of the schools etc
Therefore, under this ordinance there
can be no person elected superintcn-
dent of schools accept one of the menu
bcrs of the school committee itself.

Sists Of Rev. G. A. Wright Charles T..
Drawn and Judge Stafford. At the last
meeting of this committee, Rev. c. A..
Wright was duly elected supervisor of
schools for the ensuing year, and this

law, no further action is necessary or
possible
