Sir Edward Gray, the foreign secre-
tary, described as "the greatest na-
tional catastrophe in the history of
the nation"
Eight hundred thousand coal miners
have voted to quit work Thursday if
an agreement has not been finally
reached before that day. In case a
strike should be declared great suf-
fering is bound to result. Foreign
miners have agreed to quit work un-
less the mine owners agree to ship
none of their output to England, and
the transport workers, it is believed,
will refuse to handle coal from other
countries.
The government is prepared, in case
of strike, to send large numbers of
soldiers to all the coal districts to
prevent violence and damage TO prop-
erty. 1t is alleged that the
strike funds of the miners are not suf.
ficient to maintain a prolonged ces-
sation of work, and it is likely that

REGULATE SALARIES
OF CITY TEACHERS
And Require State Certificates After
This Year-Resolutions Adopted
By City School Board.

At a meeting of the school board
yesterday afternoon, two resolution
were adopted affecting in a measure
some of the teachers in the Browns
VILE schools. A former resolution
affecting salaries made no provision
for teachers holding permanent pri-
mary certificates. This matter was
adjusted in a new resolution regu-
lating the rate of compensation
Another resolution adopted requires
that all teachers, beginning with the
1894 term, must hold state GER
tificates to become eligible to ap-
pointment.
1t is stated that there are clever
teachers in the school who hold city
certificates but not state certificates
They will have an opportunity dur
ing next summer to take the exami-
nation for a state certificate. Three
examinations are held, one in June,
one in July and one in August.
The board ordered that the schools
take holiday today, because of its
being All Saints day. Most of the
pupils would be absent for the day.
and it was thought best to allow all
the children a holiday, rather than
to attempt to hold school with only
a few pupils in each class.
Those present at the meeting were
DR.. J. L. Workman, president; Geo.
McGonigle, j. T. Canales, G. Cara
and Frank c. Pierce.
The resolutions passed by the
board follow:
Be it resolved by the board of trus-
tees of the Brownsville public
schools that hereafter the teachers
in our public schools shall be com
pensated as follows:
First, teachers holding state per.
manent primary and first grade GER
tificates shall receive compensation
in the sum of $40 per scholastic
month.
Second, teachers holding second
grade state certificates shall receive
as compensation the sum of $50 pei
scholastic month.
Third, teachers holding first grade
city certificates shall receive $40 pei

Government is an enterprise Of
mankind, not of parties" he said at
the outset.
Replying to the talk Of his op-
ponents that the prosperity of the
country would be affected by his
election, Wilson pointed to the bet
ting odds in Wall street so largely
in favor of democratic success.
What | object to in the pros
perity of the country" said the gov
ernor, sis that too small a number
of persons originate and manage the
prosperity"
He urged the election of not only
the national democratic ticket, but
declared it is essential that there be
a democratic house, senate and state
government as well.
Before the Madison Square Gar
den speech he addressed a big rally
