McGilyary and Thomas Out.

As stated in the Gazette of that day a
sensational termination of the investiga-
ton of charges by j. d. Eggleston in
regard to the publication of the state
school register came like thunderclap
in Richmond yesterday shortly after the
meeting of the State Board of Education.
A paper was read which had been pre-
pared by counsel and signed by j. P.
Thomas and j. A. McGilvary.
They both confess that their former
evidence was false; that Mr.. hcGilvary
did receive portion of the money for
the school register, and that he acted
improperly in so doing. Mr.. Thomas
also admitted that he testified falsely,
but be says he did it in McGilvary's
behalf. Both have resigned, Mr..
Thomas from the superintendency Of
the City High School, and Mr.. McGil-
vary as clerk to the department of pub
| lie instruction.
When the paper was read there was an
appalling silence, and every member pres
ent showed that he was deeply affected.
An explanation followed the reading of
the confession, or, as the counsel termed
it, the admissions. Mr.. Thomas, as far
as he was able. attempted to shield Mr..
McGilyary, claiming that he induced him
to run for superintendent of public in
struction, and that his false statements
were made in an ondeavor to shield him
from a political attack. After time
both men asked to be allowed to retire,
and they left the room.
Mr.. McGilvary for two months has
been suffering with carbuncle, which
has sapped his strength. Mr.. Thomas
recently fell from a street car, and has
for weeks worn his arm in sling. Both
men show the mental and physical suffer
ing they have endured, and as they left
the room, almost nervous wrecks, there
was look of deep pity in the eyes of the
board. No incident in long time has
created greater sensation.
1t is understood that this confession
will not stop the investigation, but that
the board will continue until the case is
complete. The fact that the former testi-
mony of Thomas McGilyary was not
given under oath will save them from
prosecution of perjury. 1t may be that
they will be prosecuted in another form.
Under the circumstances they will not
be allowed to resign, but will be dis
charged from their positions. They are
both men of high social position and each
has large connection 10 Richmond.
The State board last night adopted
resolution recommending that the super
intendent of public instruction at once
dismiss McGilvary from Office. His con-
duct is pronounced exceedingly repre-
hensible. Thomas is not under the
boards jurisdiction, but the body reach
ed him by declaring void the contract
with the Hill Printing Company in 50
far as teachers registers are concerned.
The action of Thomas is condemned in
unsparing terms, but the Hill Company
is declared guiltless.
The resignation of J. A. McGilvary
will naturally preclude his candidacy for
the position OF Superintendent of Public |
instruction. This will leave only one
candidate in the field, that being Joseph !
u. Eggieston' whose candidacy was an
nounced some time ago However, that |
is strong likelihood tina, Secretary F. P.
Brent Will become candidate.

Cuban Diarrhoea.

U. S. soldiers who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war know what thi.
disease is, and that ordinary remedies
have little more effect than so much
water. Cuban diarrhoea is almost as
severe and dangerous as a mild attack OF
cholera. There is one remedy, however,
that can always be depended upon as
will be seen by the following GER
tifcate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs
of Houston, Texas: al hereby certify
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Dianhoea Remedy cured my husband OF
a severe attack Of Cuban diarrhoea,
which he brought home frool Cuba. We
had several doctors but they did him no
good. One bottle of this remedy cured
him, as our neighbors will testify. |

German Aims.

Berlin. June 2S.-0ficial announce
ment is made that Germany intends to
maintain a permanent flying squadron,
consisting OF powerful fast cruisers in the
Pacific, and that similar squadron will
be maintained in the Indian Ocean.
This announcement, coupled with other
naval plans which the Kaiser is known
to have in view, has given rise 10 great
deal of speculation. The innovation in
regard to the flying squadron in the
Pacific is intended to cOunteract Ameri-
can preponderance in that part of the
world. Germany considers that the
United States and Japan now rmonopo-
lie the power in the Pacific Ocean, and
she desires TO increase the prestige Of
Germany there, while securing a fair
share of trade for her manufacturers and
merchants. Germany ambitions in the
Pacific are directed largely toward South
America. The squadron, which it is
proposed to establish in the Indian
Ocean, is for the purpose of counter
acting England's preponderance there.
The naval estimates for next year pro-
vide for the construction of number OF
immense battleships of II, 900 tons. TIE
draught of these vessels will prevent
them from being used in the shallow
waters of the Baltic or along the coast OF
the North Sea, so it is obvious that
they are intended for aggressive purposes.
These developments and the announce
ment made in regard to The maintenance
oftwo flying squadrons are taken to in
dictate that Germany is determined to
profit by the collapse of Russia and that
she will attempt to seize the supremacy
of the world on the water, as she now pos
sesses it on the land.

with loaded six-shOOters and who flashes
big diamonds on his fingers and shirt
front; a gentleman modest in the con-
seriousness of strength and carrying JUS

this republic is to endure and to be sue
