RAIN SAVES BEARS
President Chafes in Camp Because
 Dogs Can't Follow Trails.

Stambou, La, Oct. S.-Secretary Lat ta returned to-day from his visit to the President in the latter's camp on the Tensas river, bringing with him a batch of newly dictated letters, ana recollections of a very wet night in camp. He says that yesterdays rain was even more than was bar gained for, and that while the first effect was to put the woods in good condition, they became so wet by 2 o'clock that the hunters were compell- ed to return to camp, The rain began early in the day and continued through the night, and it was decided not to venture out at all to-day, owing to the water in the canebrakes.
 No one has yet sighted bear, but the dogs found trail yesterday, and the professional hunters said that the baying meant a real bear. It was SC dark then, however, that it became necessary to call the hunt off.
 The President puts in much of his time in camp in reading and in con versation with his associates and the guides and hunters who accompanied them. }&s8
 Another deer was shot yesterday.

BATTLESHIP IS OFF
Seven Powerful Tugs Man age to Drag Kentucky
 Into Deep Water.

Norfolk, Va, Oct S.-With the as- slstance of seven powerful tugs, the battleship Kentucky, which stranded off Lambert's Point this morning, while endeavoring to avoid a possible collision with vessels lying at anchor in the stream waiting to take on coal, was floated at 10:05 tonight
 It was 2 o'clock this morning when the Kentucky stranded and the combined efforts of six of the most powerful tugs failed to float the ves- sel. Barges were sent from the navy yard, and on these tons of ammunition and other movable things were taken off the battleship.
 Tonight at high tide the Merritt &r Chapman tug Rescue went to the bat tleship's assistance and the Kentucky was pulled into deep water, and head ed under her own steam for the navy yard.
 The grounding of the Kentucky will be investigation by the usual board of inquiry It is apparent that the accident to the battleship was due to the fact that her navigator endeav- cred to avoid a possible collision with the vessels at anchor off Lamberts Point. and as a result ran the shin in the mud. It is not thought that the Kentucky sustained any damage.

Teachers Think Board Will Consider Schedule
 Tonight.
ESTIMATES WILL BE UP
Believe That Make Up For
 Next Year Will Decide the Matter.

There is much curiosity expressed about town and much interest evil denced as to what the action of the board of education will be in the mat ter of the schedule for school salaries submitted by the Teachers league, Final action of some sort is expected at the special meeting of the board which is to be held this evening, when the annual estimates for the coming year will have to be made up for pre- sentation to the board of finance to- morrow. It was expected that the board would come to a definite con- clusion at its regular meeting held a week ago Friday, but, it is stated, the additional schedule submitted then by Alexander Troup editor of the Union, and Colonel N G. Osborn, editor of the Journal and Courier, representing the mass meeting held July in behalf of the teachers, sent the estimates over until this evening The members of the Teachers league are said to be watching carefully the outcome of this evenings meeting, both in view of the popular endorsement, as they regard it, given their attitude at the polls on Monday, and in view of tffe favorable attitude the board of finance showed towards the teachers schedule, pro- vided the school board should recom- mend its adoption Should the board of education interpret the election as the teachers interpret it--that is, as a victory, In part, for their cause-it is expected that the schedule will be rec commended
 Representative of the league called informally yesterday on Mayor-elect Martin, and in the course of the talk reminded him of his campaign stand in their behalf He answered that he would redeem every promise made to the voters, though it is not known that he promised to undertake to interfere at present.
 The outcome of this evenings meet ing will determine in all likelihood whether or not the fight for the sched- ule will be continued longer or not.

 The matter of providing more artis- tic fences on the bridges which are now being built over the cut was taken UT and a committee of Messrs Adler, Mo- ran and Seymour was appointed tc take the matter up. The present high board fences are required by city ordinance, but the committee feels that if the ordinance can be changed the railroad will be willing to build orna- mental eopings to take their place.
