Rules for Boston Teachers--Question of
 Corporal Punishment,

Boston, Aug. H-Under the new school regulations prepared by the Bos- ton school committee, the marriage of a woman teacher shall operate as a resignation of her position, and the business agent of the board, when noti- fled of such anevent, has been instruct ed to strike the name of the newly welded from the payroll. Hereafter teachers are to be promoted for merit only.
 The question of corporal punishment has occupied the attention of the board on account of serious complaints against a teacher. The new regulations now provide thatr "the confinement of pupils in a closet or wardrobe, the use on the part of the teacher, of sarcastic or discourteous language, is forbidden. ," and that corporal punishment shall not be inflicted upon girls in any school or upon boys in the Latin or high schools or kindergarten, or in the sight of other pupils and shall be restricted to blows on the hand with rattan" Such nun- ishment is to be resorted to only in ex- treme cases, and all inflictions must he reported.

 This meeting of attorneys was call ed by the executive and traffic officers of the railroads east of the Mississippi river and south of the Ohio river. counsel for ali the eastern trunk lines were also invited to participate in the although we afterwand learn- ed that the Pennsylvania, the Balti- more Ohio, and the New York Central roads, with some other companies, were holding a meeting of their own. A se- ries of printed questions, asking opin- ions as to the meaning of various pro- visions of the interstate commerce act, as amended on June 29 last were pre- sented to us for answer. I answered them, and my answers are being taken up one by one for discussion Already some have been approved, some reject ed, and others laid over for further dis cussion. They involve many important subjects, and cannot be discussed in one or two days.

KING EDWARD AND THE

BRITISH RULER REACHES CRON- BERG FROM FRANKFORT

 Cronberg, Aug. 14-Emperor William arrived at the castle of Friedrichshoff this evening, where he was welcomed by Prince and Princess Friedrich Karl of Hesse-Nassau and the crown prince and crown princess of Greece. with the emperor was a large suite, including Count Fulenburg and the Prussian ann bassador, Freiherr von Jenisch, and the Darmstadt secretary of state, von Tschirschky

 London, Aug. 15-The coming meet ing of King Edward and Emperor Will liam is the subject of editorial articles in all the daily newspapers this morn ing and speculations as to its prob able effect on all the existing open problems of European politics, especial ly with regard to the near east on ac- count of the critical state of the health of the sultan of Turkey are rife, It isl generally held, however, to be an indi- cation of improved Anglo-German rel lations and of the removal of the fric- tion indicated last year by the omission of a meeting between the two monarchs when King Edward was in Germany The Tribune thinks the visit may smooth the way for the next conference at The Hague, matter which King Edward has deeply at heart.

 Era or Religious Strife--Confusion
 With Regard to the Practical Carrv-
 ing On of Churches.
 Paris Aug. 14.-The pope's incyclical to the archbishops and bishops of France prescribing their attitude with regard to the church and state separa. ton law attracts wide attention here and it's probable effects are the subtect of animated discussion by the press and public and particularly by the clerical and official classes responsible for the execution of the law. A pontificial mes senger arrived here to-day bearing the document to Archbishop Richard, who soon afterward gave out the document tor publication. The entourage of the archoishopric summarized their views In the following words:
 'rhe pope has spoken, and we bow With submission and joy to his instruc. tions.''
 Whlle this reflects the general atti- tude of the hierarchy, yet a constder- ape element among the clergy receives the decision of the pontiff with disan- poinpment and regret as being likely to lnaugurate an era of religious strife. The decision caused serious confusio, Wlth regard to the practical carrvino on Of churches. The new law lays down speclf1c provisions concerning the nr- ganization of cultural associations b,,4 the pope's decision appears to make # impossible to conform to the law. At the archbshopric 1t was said to-day thai no steps have yet been taken to ins,,ra the continued operations of churches If IS understood that the enoyclica, wee accompanied by instructions concarn.

 The view generally prevails that tfe Yatican seeks to compel a situation compelling the government entering ne- sorlatlons Tor some form of church or sanlzatlon that will be acceptable both to the church and to the state. How- ever, there is no indication of +he -cov- ernment IS willingness to move in that direction

Will Undoubtedly be Endorsed by Texas
 Democrats.

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 14.-With 700 del egates, the number being limited by law and more than 4,OOO spectators, what promises to be the most exciting state convention held by the democracy of Texas since 1892, when the party split and nominated James H.

cop WINS POOR RACE.
Second Contest for Selection of Roose-
 welt Cup Defenders,


 Mar'blehead Mass, Aug. 14.-In a most uncertain breeze the Cod, owned by Dr. Morton Prince, of Boston, won the second of the trial races for the selection of the defenders of the Roose- velt cup. The Caramba, owned by c. H. w. Foster, was a close second, while Cheewink VI, the entry of F. G. Macomber was poor third,
 The race was anything but a success from the committees point of view, for the members were able to gain but very little information which will aid them in selecting the three American boats which will defend the cup against the German challengers.
 The result of the trial races for the defence of the Roosevelt cup being re- garded as somewhat inconclusive, the regatta committee of the Eastern Yacht club tonight decided at the solicita- tions of some of the owners of the boats, to hold two races a day for the next two days. This is done in order to assist the committee in the selection of the three American defenders.

GREAT AREA OF DEAD HERRING
Steamer PIOugbs Through Them for an
 Hour and Half.

Boston, Aug. 14.-Dead herring cov- ering an area of over fifteen miles were reported by Captain Anderson, of the Danish steamship Texas, which arrived to-day from Copenhagen. The fish were floating on the eastern edge of the banks, and the steamer plowed through them for an hour andya half. A bat tered dory floating in the midst of the fish led the captain to believe that some heavily-laden fisherman may have foundered.
