PAY OF THE TEACHERS
REPORT TO BE MADE ON THE
SCHOOL BILL TOMORROW.

The Senate committee on the District of
Columbia will hold a meeting at 1890
o clock tomorrow morning, when the sub
committee in charge of the bill for the re-
organization of the public schools will
make Its report, and it is expected that It's
report will be adopted by the whole COM
mittee without any change. The subcom-
mittee work has been largely in the cor
rection in minor details of the bill and per-
fecting a satisfactory system of organiza-
ton.
One of the important points that has been
insisted upon by the subcommittee was in
the matter of organization, providing that
the superintendent of schools shall be in
closer communication with all branches of
the school system. This viii be brought
about by SO amending the bill as to cause
reports from subordinates to pass through
fewer hands than has been the case in
many Instances in the past,
In some cases. as was shown by an ex
animation of the present system, a report
from a. teacher IN a graded school has had
to pass through four or five different per-
sons before it reaches the superintendent
of schools. That has been regarded as a
defect, and by change of the system 1t is
likely that in the future reports coming to
the superintendent will not pass through
more than one or two persons before they
rtach him.
The general scheme for compensation OF
teachers provided in the House bill will be
retained The question as to whether the
board OF education is to be appointed by
the District Commissioners or by the judges
of the District Supreme Court, as provided
in the House bill, has been the subject OF
considerable debate and will probably re-
ceiye more attention by the heads of the
full committees in the morning than any
other feature of the bill
1t is especially desirable that prompt ac-
ton should be taken by the committee, be-
cause it will be necessary after the passage
of this bill by Congress, to make provision
in the District appropriation bill for an in
creased compensation carried by the meas
ure. 1t is expected that the school bill will
be reported to the Senate tomorrow and
passed with little delay.

CHASTITY FEATURE OF TRAGEDY

Representative Robert Adams of
Philadelphia, representative in Con-
gress from the second congress
sional district of Pennsylvania, died
at the Emergency Hospital at II go
O'Clock this morning as the result OF
pistol shot fired through his mouth
into his head with suicidal intent.
The act was committed at the cham
bers OF the Metropolitan Club, 1903
II street, where Mr. Adams had re-
sided for several years, at 6:IS
O'Clock this morning. 1t was not un-
til 8 o'clock, however, that he was
found by Horace Clark, one of the
colored bell men, whose habit it was
each morning at that hour to carry
hot water to the room. Upon open
ing the door Clark found Mr.. Adams,
entirely nude, sitting upright in an
arm chair. He Immediately notified
the attaches of the house and a doc
tor was at once summoned. Mr..
Adams then was unconscious, and
the physician who was called i'll pro-
nounced the wound necessarily fatal.
MIR. Adams was soon afterward re-
moved to the hospital in a patrol
wagon, where the bullet and some
fragments of bone were removed
from his brain.
CHASTITY feature of hts act was the fact
that after shooting himself Mr.. Adams pro-
ceeded out into the hall and TO the bath
room, where he washed himself and then
returned to his room. The walls and bath
room were spattered with blood.
In his room an unsigned note was found
addressed to James Clark, reading as fol-

on keystone Ii, to 1 on Gold Rioch and

ST PETERSBURG, June 1-Father
Poyarski an orthodox priest of voronezh

open letter to the emperor describes the
country as living over volcano, and de-
clares that the governments reply to the
lower house of parliament proves that II
utterly falls to comprehend the temper of
the peasantry.
He predicts that its refusal to meet the

the distribution of land will result in a
mass movement among the peasants, who
in their blind fury will attack not only
the landlords, but the intelligentsia gen.
orally and treat the country to reign OF

Before resuming the debate on the gem

will be prepared by the lower house of par
lament, by special permission a number OF
interpretations regarding executions in vari-
Gus parts OF the country were presented In
the house today and were referred to the
committee charged with the preparation OF
the bill providing for the abolition of the
death penalty.
The debate on the principles of the agra

considerable minority of the constitutional
democrats intend to vigorously fight the
radical program for the preparation OF
land to which the entire house in the first
flush of enthusiasm committed itself.
Prince Lvoff made strong speech today

land, the logical sequence of which he
claimed would be a purely soeialistic state
