Tho Board of Education met In special session last night at the high school. The principal Item of Interest was the motion rsssod employing Baxter, Van Dusen AY Fleharty as attorneys to defend the hoard In the action brought by A. L. Bersqulst to prevent the present board from hiring teachers for the ensuing year. The case will attract more attention In South Omaha than any one of the Injunctions now pending. Sentiment Is pretty much divided In the matter. The bonrd con elders that as the action Is brought against the entire board It has the right to employ attorneys and defend Its case. One object of bringing this case to trial Is to put to j the test the legality of the hiring of the city superintendent and the principal of the high school. The reason II. C. Murphy, the regular attorney of the board, did not take the case Is the fact thnt he Is at pres ent employed in several other cases. Aside from the dls-usslon In connection wltru the hiring of these attorneys, the board passed on a number of routine bills. Tho lhlnutes were put In order and the board then adjourned to meet Monday evening for purposes of consultation. Statement of City Finances.

IU y mmmmm rm THUNDERER ON WALL STREET London Times HeTOtes Fdltorlal to the Subject of Some A mer lenN fleefirtttea. LOXnoX, April 6.-(Sperlal.) "The Thun derV," the Iondon Times, has the f-llow- Ing to say eUltorli.lly In a trader upon the subject of American stotks: I The New York Ftock exchange has re cently leen In n condition of extraordinary excitement. The prlrcs of the numerous speculative securities dealt In there col lapsed with a violence which, though not entirely without precedent, has not often been equalled during the last twenty-five years. WoWiMy the majority of men now I in acnve ousiness, atvl most or those who have to chronicle market events, have no clenr recollection or the fall of prices which convulsed the Wall street market In ISM, and many have forgotten the year when the obstinate refusal of the senate to repeal the Sherman silver net reduced the treasury's stin k of gold to a dnnger onsly low U Vf nnd brought the New York business community to a degree of em barrassment verging on bankruptcy. The decline In prices In Is'Sl was a long drawn agony, which In some respects Is worse than a sharp full. In May. l!oi. there was a formidable p.inlc, caused by a corner In Northern Pacilic stock, byf the pressure wss soon over, and there 'Van no further trouble until the autumn of I'.nO, when an other violent fall took place. In neither of these two comparatively recent perliKis was the fall In prices as severe as that of llrf. Probably the severity of the pressure to soli was partly due to the fact that the fall was "overdue." Kxperleneed observers were of the opinion that the condition of the American slock markets was n danger ous one as far back as last August.. Hut us hns often been the cape the nature of the position was so obscured by the mar vellous activity ami highly profitable re suits of the Industry, nsrlciilture and com merce of the I'nlted States, that some very shrewd people by no means lacking In ex perience were tuite convinced ' that, al though the commitments of "railway kings" and other large operators were somewhat excessive there was a fair probability that grain and cotton, or rather the proceeds from their sal" abroad, would enable those commitments to x fpiletly liquidated to tho necpsnnry extent. There can be no doubt, however.

WASHINGTON, April 6 Senators Cul lom and Hopkins today recommended to the president the appointment of Daniel A. Campbell of Chicago to be postmaster of that city to succeed Frederick A. Busse, who has been elected to the mayor alty. Senator Hopkins said h expected the appointment to be announced today. Mr. Campbell la now a stats senator. BJnlng that the g r.i ial public would sooner or later hecm-p fre- buyers of a large proport'on of the "magnates," and the nb :ence of buvlng of this kind on a sufficient srn!.- appears to bo one of the principal reasons fo the collars. At the end of loot year we remarked thnt the I'nlted Plates had pot through 19il without a serious fall In prices. The non occurrence of s'ich a fall was certainly duo to the measures taken bv Mr. Shaw, the late secretary of the 'I'nlted States tre.nsurv. who helped and compelled the na tional banks to lmiort gold from Europe when thetr reserves were evidently being drnlned nt a rote which would have left them unnblo to help the "legitimate" busi ness of the country If they had. not been replenished. With the commencement of the present year It was hoied that more favorable conditions would come Into ex igence In Kurope, and especially that the Bank of Knqland would reduce its rate and no longer feel imperatively obliged to discourage withdrawals of gold to New York. The bank, as we know, reduced Its rate to 5 per cent on Jnnuary 17, but In tending shlpiiers of gold were made aware rather to their surprise that the bank was notrcady to allow gold to leave the vaults on a Journey to the t'nlted States than tefore, and that if any such orrations wero attempted the directors would be re luctantly obliged to revert to 6 per cent. We think It probahle tlist this attitude on the part of the bank, which was thoroughly approved In the city, was partly due to the new and disquieting prenomenon of American railway finance the Issue of enormous quantities of short term notes by various railway companies which had found It impossible to Issue long term bonds. During the first six weeks of tho year bout f2t0.oYW) of two-vesr promissory dotes were authorized by various companies, nnd as the terms on which they were of fered provided a yield of fi to 6V4 per cent to the Investor a fair amount of them were actually placed in London and Paris. But both In Kurope and the I'nlted States the purchase of these notes could only be ef fected as a rule by means of a sale of ex isting railway securities, and these conse quently began to give way when these notes were pressed on the attention of In vestors. According to some persons en titled to an opinion a very powerful con tributory cause of the great fall of prices was the cumulative effect of the revela tions os to tho methods of Mr. K. H. Har rlman In conducting the business of the vast railroad systems under his control, and his defiant attitude toward the Inter state Commerce commission. In regard to the latter, however, he en.loys the more or less concealed sympathy of many Ameri can railroad men who are by no means pleased at the endeavors of Iresldent Km sevelt to impose mora control over them. tins Kills Tvro.

The elope ment of Countess Vilma Festettcs. a 20- ' year-old girl of noble birth, with a Hun garian gipsy bandsman, has caused a sensation unequalled since the flight of Princess Chimay with her gipsy lover, Rlgl. Countess Vilma Festetlcs Is the daughter of a wealthy Hungarian magnate. She Is very handsome, a good horsewoman and , a notable figure In society at Budapest and Vienna. She was engaged to Count Rlgmund Sprettl, a distinguished Hungarian nobleman. A few weeks ago the counters arrived j at Vienna and afterwards left for Munich . accompanied by her mother and her bt- trotjlved. During their stay at Munich, Count Sprettl, took the two ladies to an amusing cafe chatant, where Rudl Nyary played with his band of gipsy musicians every night. The countess fe.ll a victim to the fascinations of this swarthy Magyar aijd afterwards she wrote a tvote expressing her doslre to meet him.
