lsKtrd.
Mr. McCemsey also called attention te thu
fact that en several invasions during tlie cold
weather some of the schools had te lie closed
because of there lieing lusuihcient heat in tlie
school rooms. The property committed liny
K)rh.tis promsen means of reniislylng tlie
evil. The clelng of the schools ought net te

Mr. Hartmau, of the jirojierty committee
referring' te the difUculty of healing sane of
tlie school risuns, Mid there had lcen trouble
in this resect in the Maner, Aim and Prince
street buildings. Thn dilllculty in the Prince
street building resulted in consequence of
the janitor net being well acquainted with
thu heating apiuratiis. Tlie heater was amply
siiillcicut te licsil the rooms. The princi
pal troulile wasatlhe Maner street building.
As the severest winter weather is new proli preli
ably wt, he suggested that the best tiling te
Ixi done was te " worry through" with the
heater at present in use, and next summer,
procure a larger healer for the Maner slicct
building, and remove the heater new tliore
totlie north side of tlie Ann street building,
which arrangement lie Isdieved would allenl
all the beat necessary for both buildings.
Mr. Hartnnmalseprcseutis! a H'litieu Irem

On motion of Mr. ltresius the heard imaui imaui

Dr. llerr, referring te Mi. llarman's re
marks concerning the Maner street schools
s.tid lie had examined the headers and was
sure they would net heal tlie rooms in cold
weather. He had been III the school room
icvcntlywheu the thermometer marked -hi
degrees. This was entitely tee low for the
health of the pupils. He wasopiiesod te the
practice el dlsniisshigthoseheols, anil moved
that the property eelinnittis) le instrueled te

Mr. Hartmau explained that en the day
Dr. llerr letind the sclioel loom se cold,
somealleratleni weie being mide In the heat
pies. When these were completed the room
became much warmer.
Mr. Ilyrne regarded tlie healing of tlie
schools as cry luilKirUuit. hut doubted the
propriety of ' making tlie change in mid
winter. Te pull out the old and put in new
heaters will take lime, would nocessitate
the closing of the schools, ami the Jeb if done
in a hurry would prelialily be a bad one.
Mr. l'.vans moved te lay Dr. Hcrr'suiotien

Dr. Herr, from the book committee,
culled the attention of tlie beat d te the fact
that there D no legally adopted surlesef

in the selection of books, .is it has been
Judicially divided, they are reiiuired te de.
Mr. Darmstetter from the soldier orphans'
committee ptcsented the application of Mrs.
Wm. K. Adams for the admission of her
twelve-year-old son into the soldier orphans'
school. As It appealed that the boy was net
an orphan, (his father having deserted his

.Mr. Itingwalt Irem the night school coin cein

Mr. Baker from the judiciary committee

Tlie iinderhlgued, the judiciary ceniuiittee
of the beard, te whom was referred the ques
tion of the legality of ltitreduiinn Whitney's
German leader, as n text lioek Inte the high
school after ihe commencement of the schis.il
year, respectfully submit tlie following re
port :
The question Involved In the matter rcfer
ied te your committee is net one as te the le
gality of changing textbooks alter the com
mencement of the schisil year, but Is one as
te the legality of introducing a new book for
the use of students who are advanced beyond
the use of the books adopted bcfeie the be
ginning of the Miioel year.
riioieisuo law preniiiiting tins. .u me
laws and rules of tlie 1hmi'1 lelatiug Ieuud
forbidding tlie changing of lioeks nave no
bearing en or application te thu matter sub
mitted te the committee for its division. And
In this conclusion the committee is sustained
by tlie opinion of the state niiicrlntciuleut in
an analogous case, found en Page 55, section
153, of the Hchoel laws, in whidi hesavs tliat
"the addition of it new weik en semu branch
introduced after the annual meeting pro pre
scribed is legal; otherwise It would net Ihi
practicable le introduce new studies or
branches of study as tint pupils advance, but
only at the beginning of each sclii)! year."
And for a stronger reason is It legal te add
a new Ixiek where the study Is tdreaily pro pre
scribed. And, therefeie, your committee is of opin
ion that it is legal te iutroduce Whitney's
German Header Inte tlie High Scheel ann
text book.

The Londen war ofllce has Issued the fol fel fol
lewing : Telegrams from General Wolseloy
aimoiitice that the fall of Khartoum took
place en January 20.
When HIr C'harles Wilsen reached Khar
toum he found the Mahdl's forces occupied
both the town and the citadel. He tried te
land and ascertain tlie fale of (I0ncr.1l Gor Ger Gor
eon, but this step he found Impesilblc The
enemy's guns, wcre turned ujsm him hi full
force He wan, therefore, compelled te turn
bin lxick upon the fallen city and return te
Oliliat without finding out whether General
Gorden wcre dead or alive.
Tlicre Is no longer any doubt but that the
Muhdl holds possession of the town of
Khartoum. Some hopes are entertained
that General Gorden may still be holding
out in the citadel of the town. Meanwhile
tlie excitement in Londen and everywhere
througheultho British Isles where the news
Is known Is rising te fever hcaU The clubs
nnd publle resorts of overy description are
thronged with crowds or poeplo eager te
catch the last svliable of Intelligence from
tlie distant Lgyptl.m desert. Through
Fleet street and the Strand it Is ai ai
mest Impessible te make ene's way
se very crowded are theso thorough
fares with throngs of curious and excited
citizens. Most lieople take a gloomy view of
the jHisltlen of tlie British troops In the
Keudun. The Jubilant gladness which has
characterized England In regard te Kgypt
ever since the welceme news of fm-ii!
Stewart's successful arrival in the nelglilxir nelglilxir
heisl of Mctcmiieh wivs received has given
war te tinlversal depression, and expressions
of dismay and foreboding eouie from almost
ovcryliedv. It Is tee early te estimate the In In
llucnce of the news en the political situation.
The war ofQce Is besieged with nrmy efllccrs
tendering their services for active duty iu
the Soudan. Numerous telegrams are being
rccoived from olflcers throughout tlioceuntry
asking for assignments te the roscue expedi
tion, should the government concludetotako
such action.
Tlie capture of Khartoum has created grave
fenrs, especially Iu army circles, for the safety
of General Stewart and his army. A number
of military elllccrs of repute even express
the opinion that unless re-enfensjiuents are
hurried forward te Kertl the fall of Khar
toum may lead tedisasters te thoferces under
Lord Wolseloy and General Karle.
Lord Welseley telegraphs that he does net
consider tlie British jiosltien at Gubat In any
immediate danger.
HITTEIl ONSLAUGHT ON Till! MINIHTItV.
The rail Mall Gazette of Wednosday.rcfer Wednesday.rcfer
ring te tlie Khartoum calamity, says : " No
body can accuse our gallant troops of losing
n sliigle moment hi their fierce race against
tune 111 hastening te the roscue of tiie garri
son at Khartoum ; tlie responsibility rests
solely with tlie ministers who refused te
allow the Nlle expedition te start iu spite of
warnings and entreaties until it was tee late.
The vete iu Parliament in favor of tlie ai ai ai
propri.itieu of 300,0W for tlie relief of Gen
eral Gorden was dcfcrnsl until August
5. liven then, if the oxinnlitien had been
sanctioned forthwith, tlie precious diy
would have lieen gained ; but it wasnotbanc wasnetbanc wasnotbanc
tieued until August 12, when tlie govern
ment linally resolved that It must relieve
General Gorden. That pciied of hesitation
sacritlced Khartoum. Islam is new vic
torious. Tlie revelt and fall of Khartoum
will pormcite tlie arch of the world, and un
less tlie ministry display boldness and wari
ness erpial te, their leriner dllateriness a
catastrephe werse than that at Khartoum
will fellow. Kugland dare net Hy before
tlie Eastern fee; it would mean war and
mutiny from 0:10 end of Asia te the ether.
Slie must ro-enferco her garrisons every
where, including India, even if it shall be
necessary te call for volunteers te de the
work. General Larlo must advance rapidly
te Herberaud Meteinneh. Tlie Huaklu gar
rison must be re-enferced and the read te
Berber cleared. Lvery ncrve must be
strained te preve that the Khartoum disaster
has stilleiied the resolution te held 1'ugland's
Hag aletl in the face of every tee. Our duty
is net te flinch, but te propare for eventuali
ties nnd relieve Mctemnelt by water. We
have failed te S.1V0 Gorden; we have new te
save Stewart.
HOW THU NEWS WASOlITAINllll.
The first news of the fall of Khartoum re
ceived by General Welselcy was brought by
n inessengcr, who left the island whero Col Cel Col
enel Wilsen was stranded and came en feet
te rulr.it. Twe messengers were dispatched
te Kertl, via AuMvle.i and G.ilcdul. They
reached their destination hi satety, owing te
tlie fact that the news of Khartoum's tall had
net leaclicd the desert. Intelligence of the
dlseter, hew evor, has since spread far and
wide. Seme of tlie tribes that have hitherto
professed friendship for England have de
clared for the Mahdl. The Arabs still held
Meteinneh. The garrison there received the
news of tlie fall el Khartoum witli repeated
sal von et artillery.
When Colonel Wilsen's flotilla approached
Khartoum It was compelled te run the gaunt
let efa heavy llre from both banks. The
rebels had lour Krupp guns en the river
Links at Halfuicli te bombard steamers.
Wheu the British ferce reached Onidtirman
numbers of rebels continued the fusillade.
Things looked werse when it was discovered
that tlie enemy was iu possession of tlie
Island of Tutti, just outside tlie city. Tlie
Enirllsh still iiushed ahead, but were dis
mayed te find that the garrison commenced
tiring upon tlicin. Ne llags were Hying from
tlie public buildings, and tlie town upjieared
10 ue in uiHllsputcu possession et 1110 enemy.
The palace hceuis te have been gutted.
Finding It lmposslule te land iu the face of
the overwhelming numbers of tlie rebels the
British wcre obliged te retire. Tlie rumors
concerning tlie laloef General Gorden are
many and varied but all agree that the Mahdi
captured Khartoum by treachery. The most
1 citable roperls point te ene Faraz 1'e.sha as
the tndter. It Is said that he, being loll iu
cliargoef tlie ramparts, ejiencd the gates en
January 2(1 and admitted the enemy. Some
rumors state that the Mahdl, together w 1th a
few lev antlnes, is cooped up In a church.
Others my General Gorden has been seen
wearing the Muhdi'.s uniform. Thoinajeilty
agree, hew evor, that General Gorden has
liei'ii killed.
Colonel Wilsen had three steamers, two of
vv hlch weie wrecked In the Nile exactly hall
way between Khartoum and Meteniiuli. The
thlnl stcamer bearing Cel. Wertley and his
party cauie en nud brought the news te the
British camp near Meteinneh.
TltOers TO 11U SUNT II) hUAKIN.
A council was held at tint war ellice. lA
wasdecided te advise the government te dis.
patch 3,000 troops te Suakin Immediately.
General Stephenson telegraphs that 5,000
men will lie wanted te clear the read te
Berber, as the news of tlie fall of Khartoum
will induce tlie central trlbes te join Osiuan
Digmu General Stephenson also advised
that thu nresent strenuth of the troens iu
upper and lower Egypt be maintained ami
that the ro-enforeemeut.s be drawn fiem

has renew ed his demand for im expedition te

Greaves.
Orders have been disiutelicd te Woolwich

Rumors have reached Louden that 2000 men
were massacred nt Klmrtoum.The news of the
