He likened the situation there during the last twen- ty-elght years to a state of slege. The Imperial ‘Chancellor, Prince von Hohenlohe, sald he could 'mot hold out | any hope of the repeal of the paraj uph.‘ it must remain in force “as a warning to | | the French minority, whose feelings are | d in the resistance of the clergy ace-Lorraine to the offered estab- of a theological faculty at ithough the Holy See has | agreed to it | | It is true,” added Prince Hohenlohe, | “that our relations with the French Gov- | ernment are the best conceivable, and in | France also a friendly feeling prevalls; | [but there is no guarantee for the dura- tion of this feeling. For this reason we | not relinquish our weapons. We | acquired Alsace-Lorraine got by pular vote but by force of arm¥, and shall retain the reconquered land. This is_our right.” | These remarks were greeted with | cheers. The Reichstag eventually adopted Herr Winterer's motion by a large ma- jority, thus defeating the Government. The Relchstag committee finished the second reading of the meat inspection bill | to-day and the measure in its new shape | was adopted by all the members of the | commission.

LS, 0t Monthly Allowance Granted to Bchools for Necessary Repairs. Several Transfers Ordered by Boardof Education. e The Board of Education yesterday passed resolutions dismissing five speetul teachers of sewing, abolishing the posi- tions, thus effecting a saving of $32 per month. The board expressed its belief in the educational value of sewing, but in- tends to introduce it under the direction of principals, beginning with the fall term. Miss Josephine Saunders was elected. to the principalship of the Edison School, made vacant by the death of Miss Chalm- ers. Miss 1. C. Emmons, who is now act- ing principal of the school, was allowed to retain charge until the end of the pres- ent school year.

The outside class of the Spring Valley School at 1670 Pacific avenue was orderea transferred to Union street, near Leaven- worth, on March 1, 1900.

The principals of the School Department met yesterday afternoon at the invitation of the Board of Education in the assembly room at the City Hall for the purpose of discussing important matters pertaining to the department. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Mark, who read an address in which he stated that the board believed that the principals should be consulted and occasional meet- ings should be called to discuss future plans for the improvement of schools. “1 desire to state,” said Mr, Mark, “that the Board of Education does not contemplate the wholesale reduction of salaries, but we hope by economy, the consolidation of unnecessary teachers and the discontinuance of rented rooms, to keep within the income provided by the charter. The board will report to the Auditor in April that the average dally attendance for the last fiscal year was 36,040, and a@llowing ‘28 to the pupil, as allowed by the ‘chartes, the amount of revenue for the next fiscal year for all salaries will be $1034,320, making the monthly allowance 3%,193." The monthly ay roll must therefore be reduced by 214, ““While we believe that some home work of a definite character should be given, we urge upon you the importance of In- teresting your teachers in assisting their pup;l.‘ to “select books fit for them to read. Mr, Mark saild it was 'the intention to recall all substitutes on “long call” and place all teachers consolidated out in their- positions. Prineifpal Albert Lyser said the object- ors to the home study plan failed to real- ize an important argument in its favor, that of making the pupil more self-reliant. Principal Calieghan, on the other hand, argued in favor of giving the pupil no home work whatever. She favored two divisions in the class room, one of which could study while the other recited. The litigation committee met after the meeting adjourned for the purpose of tak- ing some action in having the teachers sign a release to the Unjon Trust Com- pany In connection with the latest compromise between the merchants and teachers, by which $7000 is to be applied to the payment of their salary demands for November, 1 OPPOSES SIDE ENTRANCES.
