WITTE FOR PEACE.

WASHINGTON. D. c., July IA. 1905.
Ambassador Meyer has advised the State
Department of the appointment of NJ
Witte as the second peace plenipotenti-
ary on behalf of Russia. NJ. Witte will
sail from Cherbourg July 25 and arrive
in New York about August 1.
In diplomatic circles the substitution
of NJ. Witte for NJ. NIuravief as chief
Russian peace plenipotentiary is accept
ed as victory for the peace party of
Russia. The substance of the comment
here is that he will bring to bear in tho
peace negotiations the ripe experience
and keen intellect of one of the foremost
men of the Cars realm.
NJ. Witte, former Minister of Finance.
has been temporarily obscured by the
ascendency of the war spirit in the coun-
ellis of the Gar. His appointment as
peace plenipotentiary as interpreted here
means nothing short of his political rein
oldASiACuls Il ttSAtAse NtSttA<iSS
in the peace conference is believed to
forecast an amicable feeling from the
outset in the negotiations at Portsmouth
and holds out the hope of an agreement
on terms that will promise a lasting
peace between Russia and Japan. There
are men in the diplomatic circle who at
tribute to NJ. Witte a desire 10 bring
about ultimately a Russo-Japanese alii-
ance.
The announcement that NJ. Muravieff's :
retirement was due to i'll health IS ac-
cepted here as fiction of diplomacy.
That the change of peace plenipotentiar.
les means change of Russian policy
is generally accepted in Washington. No
other. view was expressed by those who
to-day guardedly discussed the signif-
canoe of the Russian action.

HOT TOMORROW
Breezes Today Made the
Weather More Bearable
But There Is Little
Relief.

NEW YORK. July IA. 1905.-Pr~
dieting scattering showers for today the
official forecast. like hornet, carries
sting by of giving warning of a continue
ton of the warm spell tomorrow. Never
thless. for the slight allayment which the
brezes brought to steam-heated peies-
trians this morning there was abundant
thanksgiving.
To be sure none Of the scattering
showers headlined in Observ sr Emery's
official program came TO hand during the
early part Of the forenoon, but an oc-
casional puff of air from the southwest
gave freshness to the atmosphere al
together lacking during most OF the past
seven days. Also there were few cheer
ing rents and an occasional glimpse Of a
silver lining in the coil of killing yapor
that has enrapped the town for week.
AT s O'Clock the thermometer regis.
SteA = VFS., . ueSreeS less man the
reading for the same hour yesterday. AT
9 O'Clock the temperature was 76 degrees
as compared to so degrees yesterday, and
the humidity was 76 per cent. TOO. HUI
manity faced the sunrise better fortified
for the days battle with the heat. for
there was fresh movement of air cur
rents last night which permitted most
people to get few hours of real rest.
There were fewer who sIumbered on
housetops and fire escapes in the tene-
ment district than on any night since
last Saturday.
However, the statement that the hot
SPELL although punctuated by scattering
showers, will continue through Saturday
at best perhaps means that the total
deaths may run up close to the hundred
mark. Already over sixty fatal seizures
are attributed to the weather. and pros
trations began to occur early to-day.

MRS. ALEXANDER WINS

Special to .'The Jersey City News.")
TRENTON, July IA, 1905. When
Governor Stokes signed the act passed by
the recent legislature apropriating $780,
600 for The erection of a new alnilhoas e
at Snake Hin, in Hudson County, he
gave 10 Mrs. G. B. Alexander of Cast e
Point, Hobollen, a notable troumph over
the politicians. In addition, She Won for
her young son the distinction of having
in his first term in rlle House of Assem-
bly,, done away with one of the most UNI
desirable institutions in the State.
Mrs. Alexander is a member of the
noted Stevens family, and has many so-
cial duties, but devotes much of her time
to public philanHhropies.
Last winter Mr.. Alexander introduS ed
the bill for the erection of the new aims
house. The measure passed both Hous es
and went to the Governor for approval
There the politicians began to work upon
it. Secretary of State Dickinson was
particularly active in opposing it's APP
prevail. He is the Republican leader in
Hudson County, and has been fighting,
both in the Legislature aud the courts,
every act authorizing the County Board
of FNreelioldels, which is Democratic, 10
spend public money.
Mrs. Alexander and delegation Of
women eallet at the executive chamber
to persuade The Governor TO sign the biz,
but it is said l1e e1udrl Them by leaving
the State House bya back door
After a long and earnest btalk with
Governor Stokes at the Governors s house
Mrs. Alexander finally won his consent
TO the bill, and he made it a law by writ
ing his name across its face.
!, It remains to be seen what Col Dick
inson will say when he finds hims.li
beaten BY a woman.

pass the Mayors defeat were discussed
at length AS might have been expected
tine Mayors anti-corpcration and anti
-bossism speech at the recent Elks' Hall
meeting was not regarded seriously. 1t
was accepted as a bit Of political deeep-
tion, and it was the opinion of THE COM

have the support Of Col. Dickinson ami

of the Hudson County Almshouse bill,
Mayor Pagan went to Trenton yesterday
and aided by Jacob Ringle, President Of
the Board Of Finance, made last ap-
peal to Gov. Stokes to put his signature
to the bin making the bonds to be issued
for the purchase of the new water plant

supposed to have been Killed long ago.
With the suddsn resurrection Of the
Alnlshouse bill the Mayor and he friends
saw a ray of hope for the bond bill aud
they lost NO time in getting a word with
the Governor in rs favor. Whether the
Governor held out any encoura cement to
the adlministratio forces was not lelrn-
ed. 1t is expected, though, that befsre

splendid alignment and the steady swing
of the men, 1t was a sight thAE ap-
pealed to the large crowd rllat had gath
erred to litness the ceremony, and it was
generous with IFS applause Of the fine
work of the regiment.
Major General P. E. Wanser, of Jer-
sey City, commander of the division,
came down late in the Afternoon. He
drove out to the parade ground in a carr
liage, and with him were Colonel Z. W.

other garbage were former Governor
Murphy, Brigadir General r. H. Breint-

Plume, for years a familiar figure in the
National Guard of New Jersey.
There was some comment made by the
big military men, regarding the inno-
walton instituted by Colonel Freeman in
having the companies of she regimeAt

review to the tune of .'Yankee Doede'

probable, as it is generally admitted that
it is an effective way of getting the men

them move off after the review in hap

EDUCATORS WANT

CHORAL sOclETY's PROPOSAL

The Board of Education yesterday
passed a resolution to be sent TO the
Board of School Estimate asking for
$4,000 for summer repairs to the school
houses. Another resolution was passed
asking the Board of Finance for an ad
ditional 81, 200 to the 81. 200 already ap-
propriated for salaries for inspectors of
the extensions of Nos. s, 8, u, "a and
% schools. The School Board owes $3.50
as salary TO Inspectors Nicholas Drum
and Monroe Simmons, and it is figured
out that the $1,000 asked for will be
necessary TO pay as inspectors salary
before the work on No. 8 extension and
otherssare completed.
During yesterdays session of the
Board Director Difenbach submitted
proposition of the PEOPLES Choral Union
of the Hudson City section to provide
free vocal instruction and teach. sight
reading to all persons over sixteen years
old if the use of the assembly room of
the No. % was given over one night in
each week. The idea is to make it part
of the evening school system.
Some strenuous objections were made
to the proposition President Ward said
1t was an old question that had been
given consideration to by various Boards
of Education who had held that it was.
nor practical If the use of an assembly
room is given for such purpose to one
singing society, others would want the
same privileges. While it was true that
no tuition was charged the pupils were
obliged to pay at least ten cents week
for music books Even sewing circles
had been refused.
1T reminds me, = said President Ward.

permission TO teach violin music in the
schools free and on investigation it was

matter held over until he could get addi-

EOUTHERN FDrCATLnN

The eighth annual Conference for Education
IN the South, which assembled last evening ar
Columbia, S. c. is ned under circumstances
which testify to the rapid progress of The move
ment which promises so much for the citizenship
and civilization Of the whole country The first
three conferences Of men, largely Southerners,
who were interested in providing better schools
and opening wider the door Of opportunity to
the inadequately taught children of both races
were held at Capon Springs, w. Va. Since then
the conference has been meeting at different
cities on Invitation OF those approaching the
value OF it's work. Last year it was at Birming-
ham, surrounded by the new industrialism of
the South, and now, at the request of the Gov
ernor and legislature and the State Department
Of Education, it is in the State which more than
any other suggests the old traditions of the sec
ton.
Much has been accomplished in the last year.
The constitution Of Georgia has been so amend
ed as to facilitate local taxation for schools
Public appropriations, both OF State and local
revenues, have been largely increased, and espe-
cialy rapid advance has been made in Alabama.
South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee
where enthusiastic teachers and enlightened poli.
ticians have for some years been carrying on
increasingly popular campaigns for the length
ening OF school terms and the better training OF
teachers. In Virginia an organization has re-.
Gently been formed known as the Cooperative
Education Commission under the presidency of
DR.. S. c. Mitchell, Of Richmond College with
Governor Montague as chairman Of it's execu-
tive committee. IT has been holding meetings
in al parts Of the commonwealth. which were
attended by great numbers Of lending citizens.
and there is likely 10 be an overwhelming popu.
lar demand for improved schools for every
child. ConcidFnt with this ia the emphasis
which, under its new leadership. the University
Of Virginia is putting upon that side Of Jeffer
sons educational testament which Insisted on
the democratization of education and trained
Intelligence for every citizen
The South has been badly handicapped in the
matter Of schools by poverty and scattered pop
ulation II has made great sacrifices compared
with our Northern States. The Northern men
who take an interest in its educational progress
do so rs assistants Of the leaders Of Southern
public opinion, through a desire to cooperate I'm
good werk in sympathy with enlightened
Southern aspiration. The conference is entirely
unofficial, almost unOrganized, but II is an eff
fective medium OF understanding between the
people and the active workers for better school
facilities. II is place for the exchange OF
views and the study OF the difficult problem az
nting schools TO the peculiar needs Of the region
In full sympathy with the conference is the
eoutheTn Education Board, whose president. Mr..
