MAYOR TO SPEAK.
Will Communicate to Aldermen His
 Views on Deputy Judgeship.

Mayor William E. Thoms proposes to have word to say about the bill introduced in the legislature by At torney Byrne creating deputy judge of the city court, and this evening he will communicate to the board of aldermen his sentiments on the mat ter
 What view he shall take of it is only matter of conjecture among the lawyers. It is said that he fa- vors the idea, but considers it his duty to the public to officially inform the board of aldermen that there is bill before the legislature which, if passed, will saddle an expense of $2.500 on the people. The board of aldermen has already sanctioned bill which is proposed to raise the city court prosecutors salary $1,OO0 and the clerks $1,5eO. and incl dentally raises his bond to $4,O0O. The mayor has given his approval of this measure. Attorney Byrne's project would create deputy judge at a salary of $1,500, an assistant prosecutor at salary of $1,500 and would raise the clerks salary to $2.- 900 and throw the fees from civil which he now receives into the city treasury. In word, this would in- crease the expenses of the city $2,- 500.
 At the bar meeting held Saturday the lawyers endorsed Attorney Byrne's bill. but Mayor Thoms con siders 1t should have the approval of the board of aldermen before intro- ducing it in the legislature, and. it is said. such will be the trend of his communication to the board this evening.

Prosv Talk After Dinner,

From New York comes a vail of agony. It is the despairing cry of the bored diner; the man who goes to a banquet and has his entire evening spoiled by the stupid speeches which top of the feast. He even threatens to forego this feeling: terrible threat for a metropolite and an index of the greatness of the evil and its accom- panying torture.

The deceased had been ailing for the past few years and although he had tried war; ious remedies and had taken several trips in efforts to restore his health, his was losing battle. Last sum- mer MT Cavanaugh who conducted a cafe on Bishop street thought that a trip to the old country would ben eft him greatly. He went and all though he improved considerably for the time being, it was only question of time until he was almost as bad as before he made the voyage, and ne continued to grow worse until last week when his death was expected at any moment.

Action of Nicaraguan Is i'm Direct
Opposition to the Treaty of AM
apala Recently Signcd-May Mean
Opening of Great Central Ameri-
can Conflict.

Maxico City, June 1S.-Nicaragua
and Salvador are at war DR.. Man
uel Delgado, Minister to Mexico from
Salvador, received this telegram
from President Figueroa. dated San
Salvador, June IL
This morning the revolutionists
captured the port of Acajutla. They
were commanded by General Manuel
Rlvas and came from Corinto on the
gun boat Momomentombo, armed by
the President of Nicaragua. In this
manner Zelaya complies with the
treaty of peace of Amapala, which
was entered into with the interven-
ton of the Ameican government"
Acajutla is the port where all the
Pacific liners make regular calls.
1t was but poorly defended, and the
Nicaraguans and Salvadoran revolu-
tionists took 1t with ease. 1t is in
direct rail communication with the
capital, fom which point troops can
known how strong was the invading
force, but the gunboat could carry
about 1000 troops.
The nearest Salvadorean troops
were at Sonsonate, about forty-five
miles by rail. 1t is believed that Sal
vadorean troops have been rushed
to the captured port and that sec
ond battle has already been fought,
though Minister Delgado has receiv-
ed no word of such action.
AS soon as the Minister received
the telegram he drove to Chapulte-
pee to confer with President Diaz,
but the Chief Executive had already
convened his Cabinet and the Min
mister was denied an interview. The
Cabinet was in session several hours.

TSAR DISSOLVES DUNiA.
That Constitution Is Crushed Is the
General Belief.

st. Petersburg, June1 1S.-Dissolu-
ton of the Duma was accepted by
st. Petersburg without any demon
stration. In the presence OF the
masses of troops whihh had been
thrown into the capital the people
kept within their homes and re-
mained silent.
The dissolution was most awk-
wardly managed. On Saturday night
the Dumas special Commission an
nounced in dignif1ed language, wor-
thy of a great Legislature, that It
would on Monday report to the House
its decision in regard to the suspen-
snon of the fifty-flve Socialist Rev.
olutionary members, as demanded by
the Government. This delay was
quite understandable in such vital
case, for the Donna would have lost
every shred of its dignity IL 1t had
permitted itself to be hustled into a
panicky decision.
These tactics forced the Govern
ment to put itself still further in the
wrong by the issuance of an i'm
perial manifesto, signed at Peterhof
after midnight OF Saturday, dissolv-
ing the Duma and promising Il new
election law.

Tor, and the professors threatened to
resign rather than resort to severe
measures. The School Board told
Prof. Correll to subdue the young
women and they would stand by him.

tion fervently executed his spanking
stunt. He has had no more trouble,

tial acknowledgment of his disciplin-
ary work.
