, retary Cortelyou Du formulated to relieve
possible money stringency this fan through
the distribution of funds among- national
batiks. He gives several' reasons for re
garding; the plan a. "wise and timely,"
and ssyg he can see no reason why the
demand for liquidations should become so
general as to produce anything like a panic
or commercial crisis. In fact.' he take, a
tnoat optimistic view of the situation, main

never at any time were- so readily avail

NEW YORK, Aug. S4.-The announce
ment that the control of ,the Chicago -A
Alton r&llroad, which has te all Intents
and purposes been transferred to the
Clover Laf system, was a surprise to the
financial district and waa the subject of
animated discussion there. The prospec
tive purchasers, who are delaying action
only long enough to ascertain If the AN
ton Is to get Immunity for the reballug
In which the Standard Oil company was
Involved, also control the Mlnnentxitlii &
St. LoulS. which owna a majority of the
stock of the Iowa Central. On the ratifi
cation of the Alton t ra.tr action they will
be in control of a system with a mllesgo
Of 2.88 traversing some of the best traffic
sections in the country. The transaction
thus brings about one of the most Im
portant changes of the railroad map that
have been made for many mouths.
Eventually the four roads will be morrd
into one compact system. Uoanwhile the
management of the fotn roads will be
mado harmonious and close traffic arrange
ments will be Instituted. I
Clover Leaf official, will succeed afficer
In tho Alton, It Is slated, and very likely
President 8. Jt. Felton of the Alton, who
has been retained In office during both tho
Rock Island and Union Pacific control of
the road will retire.

the hearing of the injunctions against sher
iffs, solicitors and other stato offlcisla to
prevent them from, Interfering with the
operation cf the Louisville & Nashville
railroad' in the rate litigation came before
Judge; T. O. Jones in the Uulted StoU-s
court today, Attorney General A. M.
Oarber appeared on behalf of the state
and created a sensation by announcing that
the counsel for the rtate had reeched the
conclusion not to appear In the hearing.
The reason, he said, wa-j that becatine two
days after tho grunting of tho original In
junction by the court the presiding JudKo
issued an elaborate opinion in the case be
fore counsel for the state hsd been given
an opportunity to argue the 4oeot!on in
volved, which action, in so far as the at
torney general knew, was unprecedented,
and which opinion the attorney general
and counsel for the slate considered final
on the part of the court. Attorney Oeneral
Oarber further stated that as this opinion
bad been printed ia pamphlet form and
distributed throughout the state, any argu
ment on tho part of tho state's counsel tt
this tlm. would be utterly futile. Colonel
Oarber then withdrew from the court rootn
and the hearing proceeded. Neither
Colonel Oarber nor any attorney for the
state waa present when tho bearing began,
whereupon Judge Jones had a telephone
message sant to the attorney general, who
appeared and made his statement.

BUTLER STARTS PRESSES
City Clerk Prooeeds with Printing of
School Board Ballot
RISKS VALIDITY OF HIS ACTION
Willing t Have GtMM Bill Re.
Jeeted la Order Have Tickets
Prepared tm Time for
Priaaarlew.
City- Clerk Butler ha. decided to cause
the tickets for the primary election to
select candidate, for the school board to
he printed and take ehanoe. on his action
being sustained by the council which foots
the bills for such mailers. Last year the
primary election for school board members
snd water board members cost the city
about $175 and the cost will be about the
same this yesr. Mr. Butler 1. willing to
stand the chance of having the bill re
jected, as being without warrant cf law
rather than not have the ticket ready on
time. -
.So far the city attorney has given no
opinion which Is satisfactory to the clerk.
Saturday morning he said the primary law
did not cover the nomination of members
of the school board but had given no vrlt
tcn opinion on the subject. Csrl K. Her
ring, attarflay for the Board of Eluca'lon,
gave an opinion to the city clerk, and when
approached on the subject M'.d he woulj
assume none of the duties of the city at
torney, who Is the legal advisor of the city
officials.
Plea for Validity of Plaa.
Mr. Herring has built up an Ingenious
plea for the validity of the plan of nomina
tion, of members of the Board of Educa
tion by primary election, under the terms
of the present law, or of some other law.
His Idea, which he .scarcely calls an opin
ion himself, Is based on the repealing clause
of the pTent sot. This clause repeals
In terms that part of Cobbey's Supplement
to his annotated statutes for IMS from sec
tion Mllsl to section Mil hi. - Reference to
the supplement show, that ther. are no
sections -exactly so numbered, the number,
being 8811a- and BRllh. Mr. Herring con
tends the addition of the figure following
the letter Is' not such a designation of tho
Suctions sought- to be repealed as wilt ac
complish the object of repealing them and
that, for this reason all of the sections
Included within those mentioned were ntver
repealed, but are now part of th. law of the
state. He admits that the distinction Is
purely technical, but maintains that 'It
Is better to be on the Safe aide" and have
the nominations mads under the primary
law.
Old Law Still Staads.
If this contention be' true that part of
the old law making the seventh Tuesday
before the day of general election the date
for tho primary It is pointed out. Is still
a law and other primaries must be. held
on Tuesday four week, before such elec
tion, . Candidates would be sssesied 1 per
cent of the emoluments of office ss a filing
fee, and on filing fee shall be less thsn $10.
OTHer lawyers declare the Idea of the
sohuol board's attorney to be unsound as
court, "would not permit a fly-spec" (ss
they denominate the small figure which
follows the letter In the number of tho
section) to defeat the will of the legisla
ture. The present confusion over the manner
of nominating candidates may lead to the

nominated at the- primary shall ' placed

Police Most Be Mngnlsts.
M. Leplne, the perfect of police, like
everyone else, has remarked the extraor
dnnary influx of foreigners Into Paris dur
ing the spring and summer sessons, and he
has decided that the sergeants de villa
shall b. taught foreign 1 languages to en
able them to render service to th. foreign
visitors. With this object In view, he
has made an arrangement with a school
for modern languages, at which a Certain
number of sergeant, de' vllle will follow
th. classes three times a week to learn
Oermsn, English and Bpaiilsh. Naturally,
at least In the first Instance, those ser
geants de - vllle who posses aptitude for
acquiring language, will be selected..
So far as can be gathered, the question
of Major treyfus' promotion to the rank
of lieutenant colonel remains In abeyance,
and will not be settled one way or the
other until Parliament reassembles In Oc
tober. He is now understood to have writ
ten to the minister of war,- not to tender
his resignation absolutely, but to Inform
him of his determination to leave the army 1
If he la not .promoted. According to the
J Petit MarSelllals, Oeneral Plcquart Is as
firm as ever in declining to help Major
Dreyfus by taking the Initiative In submit
ting a proposition to th. Chamber of Depu
ties for Ms promotion, so severs! private
Boambara af ths lower house are expected
ta oobm forward instead. Thsy will, bow
ever,, have to depend entirely on their own
resources and on those of tlioir political
friends, as the Petit M.rselllalS says that
the government Is resolved ts hold en
tirely aloof. Oeneral Plcquart la repre
sented as having replied to a question en
this delicate matter that he would neither
oppose , opr. support, such a,n, application.
But It appears extremely' probable that
when the new session opens th. political
friends of Major Dreyfus will, embark on
an active campaign, with a view to secur
ing a majority In favor of his advancement
at the Chamber of Deputies.
