Upton TO TRY AGAIN.
English Sportsman 10 Challenge Amer

Chicago. April 20.-The Tribune to-
from Naples:
with his yacht Erin, asks that formal
announcement be made that he will
try again for the American cup and
will forward his challenge in August
next for a series of races under uni
versal rules with a ninety foot boat
Il think it would be the best plan, y
he said, for a representative to carry
notice of the challenge personally to
the New York Yacht club and I Will
await the answer at my hotel. The
challenge will, of course, be intended
to cover series of races under Amer
lean rules. 1 do not ask for English
rules, but there is no sense in cup
rules made half century ago.
Let it be understood / have no
complaint to make of past treatment.
The best boat has always won The
reason for my persistence is that I
want the cup. In these further at
tempts I will give good sport even if
| lose again. I do not think the New
York Yacht club will decline another
contest for the cup under conditions L
have named
'The races will be held year from
next fall. 1 would build two yachts
and use the better. Ny mind is made
UP for another trial, but I shall not
forward formal challenge until Au-
gust. If Americans want a race on
fair terms they may have it. My de-
signers are, now working on plans for

GET A new SCHOOL.
Washington Street Protest Needed
Repair Buchanan.

A special meeting of the board of
education was held last night for the
purpose of receiving the report of the
building experts commissioned to in
spect the Buchanan street school
house. The committee of experts,
composed of F. NJ. Spencer, James
Cuthbert and c. Tulien, reported that
they had made careful investigation
of the school building and believed
that it could be made good as new
for $1,000 or $500. They stated
that the foundation was in good con-
dition, and that the few weak places
in the walls could be replaced with
new masonry without interfering
with other parts of the building.
Among the other repairs suggested
were new floors and wall paper. The
board was considering the advisability
of tearing down the building and re-
placing it with a new one, but in view
of the report will probably adopt the
repairs suggested.
The board also instructed the build
ing committee to- secure plans and
specifications for a new school build
ing in the Washington street district
1t was agreed to build six-room
school in place of the present Wash
ington school, which is in bad con-
dition. The committee was also in
structed to consider the purchase of
another site for the building, as the
present location is subject to dam
age by overflow of Shunganunga

mission, are scheduled today before
Judges Grosscup. Baker and Kohlsaat

account of the absence of Judge Baker
The case comes before the court on a
motion by the interstate commerce
commission to dissolve the temporary
injunction issued last fall restraining
the commission from reducing the
rates. The railroads have introduced
testimony of shippers to show discrimi-
nation against interior points like
Cleveland, Chicago and st. Louis as
grounds for Il permanent injunction.
In a brief filed by District Attorney
Sims and Luther NJ. Walter. attorney
for the commission, it is contended
that the only basis for a claim of dis
elimination in favor of Kansas City,
Omaha. etc, is that the rates to those
cities were the only ones upon which
the commission was asked to pass.
The brief declares that an order de-
claring the rates established in this
case illegal would strike at the power
of the commission.
