Inquiries round town elected the fact
that the Engineers won the game last
Sunday. The score was to 2, but,
since Charlie Lambert umpired, this pa
per will not vouch for the correctness
of the report.
; Apart from joking, there was a very
fast game of baseball out at the park
in the morning and the Engineers
played mighty god ball. There will be
a return match next Sunday and it is
expected that the Boilermakers will be
there with red hot rivets and the En-
gineers will have the bilges cleaned out
and their hands on ready throttle. A
good game, good time and all the
bunch getting together. That is sport
and tbs best and cleanest of its kind.

REMAINS IN PORT.
French Warship In No Hurry to Leave
Harbor at St. Pierre, MIG.

st. Pierre. MID, Dec. 1.-THE French
warship Amiral Auba, which arrived
from France with Gov. Didelot, the
new administrator of the colony early
in the month, remains in port pending
settlement of the school question,
which caused the demonstrations on
Nov. Is.
The school matter is still before the
courts On Nov. 16. the correctional
court fined two professors 5000 each
and ordered their schools closed for
violating the law in not obtaining the
consent of the government to open the
institutions. The judgment was OPP
posed and the case was taken before
the court last week. On Saturday the
court ordered the fines of the school
teachers reduced to $50 and $40 re-
spectively The court insisted upon the
closing of the schools, but they are
still open. 1t is not known whether
they will be closed by force or allowed
to remain in session pending an appeal
OF the professors to the court of ap-
peals.
The town remains orderly and the
leaders of last months demonstrations
continue inactive due probably to the
presence of the Amiral Aube in port.
