Cars Orders Promptly obeyed.

Paris (By Cable The French gov
eminent has been officially informed that
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron
left Kamranh Bay Saturday. The des-
tination of the squadron is unknown.
Officials here maintain that the gravity
of the Franco Japanese issue over neu-
trality has been considerably relieved by
the vigorous measures which France
adopted. Emperor Nicholas orders to
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky to leave
French waters are the direct result.
> To have the Emperor give decisive
order, it is held here, signifies that such
order must be obeyed, whereas Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky had exercised his
personal discretion as to observing or
ders emanating from the Russian Admir-
atty concerning French waters off the
coast of Madagascar.
The Journal DIES Debats publishes
long editorial article on the Franco
japanese incident, which says;
while .Iapan's anxiety is naturally
great over the approach of the Russian
squadron, yet Japanese public opinion
seems to have been proof of too much
emotion and sensitiveness. The facts
concerning the presence of the Russian
squadron in Kamranh Bay have not been
exactly known and nothing indicated
our intention to disregard known facts.
Nevertheless, Japan shows great public
effervescence The japanese press COM
ments freely, and public meetings have
been organized to denounce our supposed
hostile attitude toward Japan. 1t is sur
prising that such things should occur i'll
a country where one hardly expects to
see street opinion substituted for ds'
plomacy."

Large petitions, backed up by del
egations Of citizens, were presented
to the Board, asking that the school
On South Hill and the school in Ala
media Heights, known as the Pauly
school, be re-opened this fall. Each
school had its petition and crowd of
supporters, and each had speechma-
kers in the crowd who argued for the
re-opening of the school in which
they were interested. The Board re-
ceived the petitions and, after con-
ferring, decided that as the financial
conditions would not permit it, they
could not grant the requests, at pre-
sent at least, and that school would
be opened only in the Central and
Mark Howell buildings.

one more grade teacher.

lations governing its actions and al
so adopted a course of study recon-
mended by the superintendent and
committee on teachers.
1t was ordered that after this the
teachers of the city schools be exam
