GERMAN COURT MoURNs.
Emperor William Greatly Distressed
Over the News

BERLIN, February 3.-News of the as
sassiration of the King of Portugal and
the crown prince was telephoned to the
imperial palace by a semi-ofiicial news
agency shortly after o'clock Sunday
An official dispatch relating to the trag
edy had come through some time before
from the German legation at Lisbon tc
the foreign office When the press news
was communicated to the emperor by the
adjutant on duty the emperor was greatly
distressed, as he was especially fond of
the crown prince, of whom he saw much
turing his visit to Portugal in 1895.
The emperor at once te,egraphed to the
queen and Prince Manuel his coincidence,
and later directed that the court should
go into mourning for three weeks. He
also recalled the invitations to the court
ball which was to have been held We'd
nesday next.
Shortly before noon the emperor called
on the Portuguese minister. DR.. Pindella,
ut the legation. and expressed his SYM
Dathy in warmest terms. The Portuguese
minister, " no only recently returned from
Lisbon, gave the emperor various de-
ia lis concerning the political situation in
his country when he left for Berlin.
The American ambassador, Charlemasne
Tower and all the other ambassadors
and foreign ministers also called at the
Portuguese legation.

DENY CHARGE OF COERCION
TEACHERS INDoRSE SCHOOL
MANAGEMENT VOLUNTARILY.
Statement by Principal s. W. Murch.
Or. Chancellor Not Candidate
for Director.

Charges coming from the Capitol and
other. sources that teachers in TIE local
schools were obliged To sign the round
robin petition which went through the
schools recently. and which iRdorsed The
present school board and superintendent.
and which asked for a further trial of
the present school law have aroused thu
principals OF the second division. Trey
have issued formal denial OF the
charges OF coercion. so far as they ara
concerned and know. and chalIengs any
teacher to declare openly that she was
coerced.
In a communication to The Star in re-
gard ITO this matter b. ". Murch prin-
cipal of the Force school and director OF
night schools. says.
DR.. Chancellor Not a Candidate.
DIR. William +. Chancellor. former
superintendent of schools is through with
the local school system and Will not seek
appointment as director. as provided in
the Dolliver hill. should it pass. This
statement is authorized by Creed NJ. Full
ton. his attorney. Rumors have horn
current that the dcposed superintendent
is working for the polliyer bill in tho
hope OF being restored as head of the
local school system.
DR. Chancellor has been charged with
being active in urging the passage of the
Dolliver bill. providing FOR the abolition
of the board of education" stated Attor-
ney Fulton. But that is not true lie
is not taking any part in the matter. ard
he is not an applicant and Will not he an
applicant for the dictatorship OF schools,

Offer of the Traction Companies.
The feature of today.s session was a
direct offer from the local traction COM
panies in connection with the universal
transfer proposition. Gen. George III.
Harries. vice president of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company,
declared that if law were passed per-
hitting the company to charge a
straight iive-csnt fare the additional re-
ceipts of the companies from this
change-the difference amounting last
year TO S::;5.0O0-would be put into i'm
provements; in other words back into
the pockets of the people, in the way uf
service.
Gen Harries said that his company
would purchase about seventy-fye new
cars for service in the city. and twenty
for use on the suburban lines, and would
guarantee an increase Of at least a MI
lion car miles year. He mentioned that
the other company. the Capital Traction
Company. could be depended upon for
proportionate increase, and Mr. Stell-
wdgen, who was present representing tie
company confirmed the statement. Gen.
Harres told the committee that as much
as his company would like to meet every
demand of the citizens of Washington for
more cars and improved service, 1t was
simply impossible at this time and under
the existing arrangements. Even rail-
road company, he pointed out, had to do
something more than stand on its hind
legs and whistle in order to get all the
money it wanted.

TO PROMOTE G.. q. BOYD
PROVISIONS OF THE URGENT
DEFICIENCY BILL.

he Senate committee on appropriations
today passed favorably on a paragraph
in the urgent deficiency bill providing for
the promotion of George H. Boyd to the
position of superintendent of the Senate
document room. to succeed the late AMI
Smith. who held that position for nearly
fifty years.
Mr.. Boyd was Mr.. Smiths assistant for
about twenty-five years. ana his promo
ton is a reward of merit. Mr.. Smith
memory made him famous, and il is said
that Mr.. Boyd Is gifted with as good a
natural memory as his late chief, so that
before he has been there many years he
will have that marvellous knowledge of
congressional documents possessed by the
latter. In fact, Mr.. Boyd's memory to-
day and his familiarity with the docu-
ments under his charge are enough 10
make the ordinary mind unused to such
work, wonder at his proficiency.

AMELIE THE "sAINT QUEEN. >
Pope's Tribute to Widow of King
Carlos.

ROME, February 3.-The whole press
and public are Mortified and express vio-
lent Indignation at the assassinations in
Lisbon. although doubt is expressed by
the newspapers as to the advisability of
attempting to rule country by Premier
Francois system of dictatorship. The
mourning of the court is deep and sin
cere, and everywhere sympathy is heard
for Queen An1elie. who is most popular
in Rome, her goodness rivaling that of
her sister, the Duchess of Aosta, who is
worshiped by the people.
King Victor Emmanuel has ordered the
observance of strict mourning for thirty
days and has Cancelled all court functions
for an indefinite period.
Dowager Queen Marsherita. to whom
the announcement of the tragedy at Lis
bon was great shock. it recalled to
her the murder of King Humbert at
Monza in 1900. sent message to Queen
Amelie, saying:
None better than myself can under
stand your terrible misfortune"
The pope was most distressed when
Cardinal Merry del Val communicated to
him the tragedy in all its details.
Poor AmeIie.'' said the holy father
'she may now really be called the Saint
Queen"
After sending telegram of coincidence,
the pope asked the cardinal to go per-
SOnalIy 10 the portuguese embassy and
express the papal sympathy.
The pope has ordered funeral service
for the late king and prince in the Sis
tine Chapel on Thursday. Cardinal Merry
Gel Val will conduct the service in the
presence of the, Sacred College, the papal
court. the diplomatic corps and the aris-
tocracy of Rome.
Yesterday being Purincation day the
pope. according to tradition. received
members of the religious orders and rep
resentatives of the various colleges for
their offerings Of candles. When the time
came for the Portuguese students to ap-
proach the pope they greeted him with
fearful eyes. The pope broke the silence,
saying to the students in Latin:
Il am in the deepest grief
To this remark the rector of the college
replied:
I'VE can scarcely believe the reports
from Lisbon.
Pray. pray for your country l con-
stantly pray for her, which needs it so
much" said the pope.
Many of the students were visibly
moved, but Pope Plus comforted them.
saying, Have courage and trust in God'
