.Yenexuela with a number of foreign no

Caracas press is still fiercely attacking; ths
foreign and mixed tribunals ami the foreign
Umpires. Yesterday It was I'.elglum. todiy

that Senor Otero, who umpires the Mexi

sioner, and Senor Uusman, ths agent, all
of the Mexican tribunal and sll leading
figures lu Mexican society, would, on the
occasion of the Mexican Independence day, !
give a dinner and ball to friends in a
lioupe belonging to a cltisen of the United
titates, printed virulent articles threaten
- Ing to publish the names of sixteen lead
ers of Caracas society, who had accepted
Invitations to oa present, as "anti-patriots"
in going to a ball given by .foreigners
''daring to claim money from Venesuela."
Besides this, menacing letters were sent
to the Mexican commission and a popular
demonstration against the commission hav
ing been demonstrated, the commission
withdrew the invitations to the bail, so as
dot to cause a conflict.
Some Idea, of the tone of the press against
foreigners can be gathered from the fol
lowing: Kl Combate of Caracas, after
criticising all the umpires, said:
Yes. let them take our gold, but let them
not celebrate at a social gathering the con
summation of their Infamy. Let thera load
themselves with our country'a money, but
let them not feast with us us an apotheosis
of extortion. Let them with Impious hnnd
rlrle. our treasury, but let them not take
the smiles of our women and the friendly
J word of our daughters. Let them feel
our nan notes, hut let not their specu
lator's hands encircle the Inflexible waists
lit the queens of our drawing rooms. Let
them dlsxy themselves with the chink of
our coin, but let not our voluptuous waltsea
and native music re-echo In their ears.
J et them drink ehampugn and drown
themselves III the foam of liquor, but let
them not clink their cups with those r.f
the victims whom they have come to sacri
fice. It Is remarked In Caracas that El Na
tionals classed as the organ of General Fer
nandes, the Venesuelan minister at Wash
ington. Is the most bitter of all the papers
In their attacks on the umpires, and for
eigners. Ths umpires have not yet been
aid by Venesuela.

NEEDS OF THE CITY SCHOOLS
President Johnson Seta Them Forth in Hit
Annual Report,
ARGUES FOR PERMANENT SUPPLY DEPOT
Wonld Rave Isard Street Property
Improved and Vsed for a store
Hons aad Shop for
Schools.
The annual report of President Theodore
H. Johnson of the Bosrd of Education for
the fiscal year ending June SO. 1W3. together
with some suggestions regarding the neces
sities of the school district In the near fu
ture, was submitted to the board last night.
Regarding finances It Is stated that of the
$ST5.000 bonded Indebtedness $J0O,0OO will fall
due January 1, 190S, and that there are now
funda available to the extent of $159,610 to
meet this obligation. According to the
president there la no question but that by
the time the bonds become due It will be
necessary for the people to vote $300,000
bonds more to build a wing to the high
school.
Last year the total receipts of the district
were $541,157.66 and the expenditures were
1521.7M.U. or $19,373.55 less- than was re
ceived. Owing to the railway tax litigation
It la estimated that receipts will be $56.$"9
short at the end of the present fiscal year.
which will mean an Increase In the floating
Indebtedness.
Increase In High School Bill.
The expenses of the high school were
$78,610.73, as against $h3. 894.67 for the pre
vious similar period, the Increase being ac
counted for by the new chimney costing
$3,660; enlarging manual training depart
ment and adding to various equipment, $4,
855.17, and the balance for new walks, fit
ting up girls' gymnasium and employing
additional teachers.
Concerning new buildings the president
says it Is regrettable that so much delay
ha occurred in the construction of the new
Monmouth park school. He urges the erec
tion of a new building as soon as possible
on the Beats site. Additional schools are
needed In the southern part of the city, ac
cording to President Johnson, and he says
that owing to a lack of unanimity among
the interested. people aa to the proper place
to erect a new building, the board will
probably have to settle the question inde
pendent of the diverse claims of the tax
payers. He discusses at length the ques
tion of 'consolidating tbe Forest and Vln-,
ton schools In a new sixteen-room building
on a new site, but falls to present a con
clusion. applies for the Schools.
A new shop and depot of supplies to b
built on the Isard street site with proceeds
derived from the sale of the unused Pa
cific and Jackson street properties Is advo
cated, and In connection an enlargement of
the duties of the custodian, who would be
made storekeeper and accountable for all
supplies given out. In this connection It Is
said: -
The question of supplying our schools
with fuel has become a serious one. We
use about 4.000 tons of coal every year,
and our experience during the past year
and thus far In providing for the coming
winter would seem to Indicate that it Is
good policy to be in a position not to be so
t grtreW-c . it w.OTr lonal dealers
for coal. With our shop and store on the
Isard site we would be In a position, so
far as facilities here are concerned, to pur
chase coal In car lots from the mines. One
half of our yearlv supply could be pur
chased and stored In the schools before
school would open In September.
The board is urged to place on the mar
ket all real estate owned by the district
which Is not now and probably never will
be used for schoolhouse purposes.

COLLECTS AT TWO SALOONS
Last Highwayman Tnrns t'onple of
Trick In a Few Mlantes
Time.
The Ion robber who held up the saloon
of Henry J. Oest about one wi-ek ago to ik
up a collection at the point of a revolver
at two snloons on the south side about
11 o'clock last night. The total amoi:nt
secured by the man was about $11 in money
and a gold filled watch.
The first place visited was that of Henry
C. Harm. 2002 Vinton street. The thief en
tered the front door while the proprietor
Frank Mattls and Adolph Prevot wore
talking at the bar. He walked back to
where the men stood and ordered "hard
up." All three men compiled without hesi
tation and they were marched to the Ice
box and told to open the door. They en
tered the box at the command of the
holdup and closed the door, after which
tha cash register was rifled by the robber.
He secured $6 In cash and left.
About ten minutes after the first robbery
occurred the same man entered the saloon
of John Nittler. at 3223 South Twenty-fourth
street. The proprietor and Fred Krug.
one of the partners In the Krug Brewing
company, were the only persons In the
room. The proceedings which had taken
place at the Harm saloon were re-enacted
here, but not until Ahe watch of Mr. Krug
had been taken were the men marched to
the Icebox. A solid gold chain attached
to the watch was left In possession of Mr.
Krug. The chain was far more valuable
than the watch, but the thief did not
seem to care for It. The till was relieved
of its contents, amounting to fo In small
change, after which the thief left the
plae.
The man answers the description In every
detail given by the men who were In the
Oest saloon when the robbery occurred
there. He wore no mask and seemed very
cool and collected. All of the men In the
saloons which were held up last night said
that the robber's voice was steady, he
Browed no sign of fear, and seemed to
go about the business as an ordinary man
would the every-day affairs of life.
Detectives Heltfelt and Donahue went
to the scene of the two robberies a short
time after they occurred, but beyond se
curing a very good description of the man
nothing was learned. When the robber
entered the second saloon he was sweating
freoly and It Is thought, considering this
and the fact that the two holdups occurred
so- close together that he must have ran
from one place to the other.

Is really a promotion, continue.
The action of the port in this connection
Is regarded here as a challenge to the rep
resentatives of the powers, especially to
the American minister, who, It Is thought.
Is likely to protest and may possibly de
mand Reshlm Pasha's recall from Brusa
In the Interest of the American educational
establishment In that vilayet.
Reports from Bcyroot say that the ap
pointment of Halim Pasha to be vail of
Bey root has caused much disappointment.
The Inhabitants expected that Nsxtm

fidence by his conduct when he became
acting vail after Keehlm Pasha'a removal,
would be made vali.
The Servian government's reply to th
porte's representation says measures have
been taken to prevent bands entering Mace
donia and that a strong band which was
preparing to cross the frontier has already
been dispersed.
The Servian reply adds, however, thst If
the persecution of Christians and the ex
cesses of the Turkish troops continue and
serious reforms are not Introduced, the
government will be unable to restrain the
popular agitation In Scrvta.

say that reports from Turkey show that
the deeds daily perpetrated In sections of
thst country sre of such a character as to
shock civilization and necessarily are of a
deep concern to the United States. .

said that the Sheridan Coal company, which
has a contract with the board for bitum
inous coal, had delivered 874 tons on Sep
tember 17. but had still about suo tons of
nut coal to put In the bins by October 1.
The lump coal has all been delivered and
some schools will need a freBh sunply
within forty days, the contract having been
tilled. As the coal company reported nut
coal hard to get In quantities, the com
munication wss referred to the supplies

port. Memtier Rice said the nnnarrlval of coal
waa due to a big demand for threshing
