by Mr.. Copeland and Mr. Baldwin,
who were to determine which of the

Mr.. w. H. Babbitt. Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: 1 beg to acknowledge the
receipt of your favor of October 80
and TO thank you for your kind and
prompt reply to the question of which
wrote you last week.
Since the Board wishes to consider
each case in which children are al
lowed to remain out of school on ac-
count of their parents needs, 1 shall
have to ask your attention to two
other cases. These l did not mention
last week for the reason that I eX-
pected that your reply might in gem
eral way cover them.
One case is that of a Porto Rican
boy about eleven years old. The boys
father deserted the mother and the
child some time ago. The mother fs
old and is not strong enough to do
the work of a common laborer
The other case is that of Porto
Rican girl. about twelve years old. the
Oldest girl in a family of six children.
whose mother has run away from her
home. Two sons over fifteen years OF
age are at work on the plantation.
They say that the combined earnings
OF the father and the sons are not suf-
ficient to supply the family with food
and clothing and to hire a woman to
do the cooking and tare care of the
younger children, one of whom is in
school. while one is mere baby.
The Porto Ricans furnish us with
vexing questions of poverty and shift
lessness. In school, however. the chill
dren (of whom We have twenty-five
enrOlIed) are bright and inreraS+iDo- II,
spite of their hard lives and their lack
of good home influences.
Awaiting your decision. I am. very
respectfully yours.

Paris, May 1.-The disturbances which were threatened to take place at tOdsy's May day demonstrations have been summarilly checked by the goy- ernment, which arrested every known labor leader and every imperialist in the republic. The federation has been thoroughly demoralized.
 Demonstrations to be accompanied by trouble on today have been threat ened for some time. Several days ago the government became convinced that the labor troubles were due to the acti- vities of imperialists who are seeking to affect the result of the approaching elections. A search was instituted at once and in some places arms were discovered and many important papers were found at the homes of royalisls.

High water, caused by the melting of the extraordinarily heavy snowfall in the Yukon valleys, is carrying the ice away from it's shore moorings.

FRENCH REPUBLIC BREAKS
 IMPERIALISM PLOT

Arrests followed and many Bonaparte leaders and other royalists have been apprehended daily.
 When discovered the royalists ceased to disguise their interest in the approaching labor troubles and the people became panic stricken. They feared another civil war and began fleeing from Paris and other large cities. The government issued proclamation, beseeching the people to remain at home and be calm. All law abiding citizens were requested to re- main indoors today. After the issuance of the proclamation, the en- tire army was placed at the assistance of the police department, and whole sale arrests were made.
 It is believed the crisis has been passed.
