SCHOOL TO BE DELAYED A MOUTH In Order That Contributors to the G. A. B. Fund May Taj Less. BOLEI DENIES ARMOR PL1TE STORIES rrnOM x statt coRKisroiroiWT.i "Washington, Aug. 18. A great dealof unfavorable comment has been heard with in a day or two on account of the action of District Commissioners in giving for bar racks to the Grand Army of the Republic the school buildings of the city. The mat ter was kept Tery quiet, and the local press has been almost silent on the snbject, but there is a prospect that there will be trouble about it before it is done with. The action of the Commissioners became known to the general public only when great cartloads of mattresses for cots were seen piled in front of the school buildings, and then a howl was raised that will prob ably yet result in the citizens suing lor an injunction to restrain the Commissioners from making this unlawful use of the build ings. It goes without saying that such occupa tion of the fine edifices will result in serious injury to them. The commissioners admit this, but assert that they will make it all good out of the public money, ot course. The school boards have protested against the use of the structures as common bar racks, but they were overridden by the com missioners. , o Necessity for cnch a Strp. If the step were absolutely necessary for the entertainment of the veterans, nobody would think of objecting, but it is merely for the purpose of saving something to the pockets of the pension sharks, hotel keepers and proprietors of gin mills, who were most active in inducing the holding of the annual encampment at the Capital, and who are the only persons who will make any pecun iary profit out of the affair. After Tiromisin? that thev would foot the bills, they went to Congress and succeeded in bulldozing members to mate a munificent appropriation of 590,000, all to come out of the District Treasury. Other thousands have been begged from persons who have nothing to gain except the enjoyment of seeing the veterans ot the G. A. K. enjoy themselves. A pretense is made ot spend ing this money for the erection of barracks for the free lodging of the old soldiers, but the bulk ol it will go no one can tell where, and it may fairly be assumed that the per sons who will profit most will get off with little or no expenditure. The coolness with which the property of the District is invaded, knowing tbat it will unaoidably be marred to the extent of thousands of dollars, against the protest of the boards in charge ot the schools, is some thing unbeard-ot. heretofore, and all for the purpose of saving from outlay the pro jectors of the affair, who expect to profit thousands of dollars by it Schools ot Ab e to Open tn September. The most objectionable feature of the business is that the opening of the schools will be postponed lor nearly a month, as the encampment will last from the 19th prox. practically until the end of the month, and it will then require about ten days or two weeks to get the rooms in order for educational work. A thorough clean ing and renovation will be necessary. Desks will have to be hauled ont of storage nd fastened in place. In the high schools delicate scientific apparatus must be care fully unpacked and rearranged Forty thousand children will be cheated out of a month's instruction a loss that can never be made good. Again, let it be said that if it were un avoidable to do this, that the old soldiers might be given the best possible entertain ment tor the least expense, nobody wonld complain, but the outrage on the public property and upon the children of the Dis trict is committed solely for the benefit of a lot of sharks who are willing to go to any length to save a penny for their own pock ets. While they are adepts at begging and taking from the public, their own s.mginess is colossal and unparalleled. When the mass ot the people ol the District, regard less of party association, are so ready to welcome the veterans with open arms and give ot their best hospitality, it is to be regretted that persons interested pecuni arily, and solely in that way, should be able to throw such odium on the preparations. Xo Fran at All of a Panic Though the authorities at the Treasury a Department still iusUt to the public that the dra:ts upon the gold in the sub-Treasuries, by individuals and firms in enormous amounts, is in the nay of legitimate busi ness, and tbat there is no danger but the Government will oe able to meet all de mands, it is admitted that there is some un easiness, and a suspicion that there is collu sion among great firms in Europe and in this city 10 create a financial panic here which will cause a tumble in securities, and enable speculators who are prepared for it to reap a rich harvest. The nens ot this morning that two firms in New York supplemented the million dollar dratt of a single firm the other day by drawing upon the sub-Treasury yester day for 5700,000 and $300,000, respectively, has excited new discussion on the subject, and Treasury officials confidentially admit that they believe there is some scheme being worked by a powerful combine, though they do not anticipate it will be Euccessful, or tbat any exploit of the schemers will cause a serious flurry in the money market. Cnifurm Success ot Armor Plile Trlnls. Acting Secretary Soley, of the Uavv Department, said to-day that he had fully investigated allegations that were being made at the instance ol interested persons, which were virtually that the Navy De partment had boomed the Harvey and nickel processes ot treating armor plate, and that lailure in the tests had been con cealed; also, that the change from one style ot armor plate to another, without change of price, would put hundreds ot thousands of dollars into the pockets oi the Carnegies, which they would not otherwise get, and tbat presumably the Carnegie companies would therefore contribute liberally to the campaign fund. "As to the publication of successful armor trials and the concealment of unsuc cessful trials," said Mr. Soley, "there has been absolutely no unsuccessful trials of either nickel or Harvey plates. On the contrary, the uniform results ot these trials have been a phenomenal success. No re sults in any degree approaching them have ever been attained at the tests of any for eign armor. And, moreover, we can purchase nickel cheaper by 40 per cent, under our contract, than anyone else, Olh-r Chxrs s UttTiy Denied. "The statement that the change in the form of the turrets of the battleships would cause a great saving to the contractors ot the armor is absurd, as the turret armor of the battleships has not yet been let to contract, nor has the department even called tor pro posals. It is not true that the change in form of the turrets was made in opposition to tbf Board ot Bureau Chiefs, the majority of the Board having recommended it. Even if the department had changed the shape of the battleship turrets alter it had contract ed tor the armor, it is clear that this would 'have made no difference in the price to be paid therefor, as the deflective shape was not prescribed in the armor contract On the contrary, a claim has been made on the part ot the contractors under the old con tract ot 1887 for additional compensation for the use of the deflective tnrret in those ships in which the vertical turret hat not been substituted for it "The statement that the change of the side armor of all the battleships and other armored vessels from carved to straight plates means several hundred thousand dol lars to the two contractors, as the plates range from 1625 to $700 a ton, or about $100 a ton more than is charged for plain plates, is also incorrect Tbe Monitor rltes Always Straight "The monitors have had straight plates from the beginning. The other armored ships have curved plates, and no change has been made in these except in tbe heavy armor of three battleships, which it 18 inches thick. It was found that the curve proposed could not be made in plates of that thickness by any manufacturer in America, and as the curve was merely a refinement of design lor the take of ap pearance, and wholly unnecessary, a straight plate was substituted, which required some additional machining. "At to the price of these plates,that at the extreme end, being of. peculiar shape, costs J600 per ton; the next, also of peculiar shape, costs J525 per ton. The remainder costs S500 per ton, or 510 less than the cost of the straight plates of the monitors. The heavy side-armor for one of the battleships it to be furnished by Bethlehem, under the old contract of 1887, at this figure, and the armor for a second by the Carnegie Com pany, under the contract of 1890, at the same figure. The side armor for the third battleship has not been let to any body." OJSXY WAS HOBBES WANTED. Zinesrllle Offlce-Seekera Baits a Kick Against a Female Appointment. ZAKESVILLE, Aug. 18. Special The appointment by Treasurer-elect Frazier of Miss Lizzie Oldham as deputy has caused a commotion in the ranks of the Republicans of the county who have a desire to become public servanta They do not object to her on the ground tbat she is not mentally and morally capable of performing the duties of the office, but because the cannot vote and distribute tickets at tbe polls on election day. She cannot appropriate the funds of the party as township committeeman, and, therefore, she ought not to be allowed to do so as an officeholder seems to be the burden of their argument They have held indignation meetings on the street corners, and now they are about to form an association whose'sole object shall be to boycott all officers who appoint! woman to a position the salary of which is more than $400 a year. A PERMANENT VACATION Taken by a Lancaster Bookkeeper, wnote Accounts Are 835,000 Short. Lancaster, Aug. 18. John F. Miller, individual bookkeeper of the First National Bank, Columbia, Fa., has absconded and is a defaulter for a large amount of money. The bank officials refused to give any infor mation as to the amount Miller went on his vacation July 11, and nothing has since been heard ol him. His prolonged absence led to an investigation and discovery of the defalcation: The bank officials have offered a reward lor his capture. The fugitive it 23 years ot age. A. A Boss, an expert accountant of Phil adelphia, who has been working on the books of tbe bank for some time, completed his work last evening. It is learned from a reliable source that the defalcation is probably from $30,000 to $35,000. PITTSBURG AND X. KE ERIE B. B. ' Special Excursions.

A meeting of Allegheny Common Counoil was called for last night, but a quorum wat not obtained. In consequence a large amount of routine business had to lay over. A meeting of the Committee on Fublio Works-was held and two items of business disposed of. The contract for laying 3,600 feet ot 30-inch water pipe from the basin to Howard street, was awarded to H. C Howard, at U 14 per lineal foot. The other bidders were Joseph Hastings, (1 75 per foot, andT. M. Scanlen, ?1 B5. One unusual feature was that Hastings was on Howard's bond, given to guarantee proper work, and at tbe same time was bidding against him. An application wat received from the J. N. Gusky Orphanage and Home for the Aged, asking that as it is a charitable insti tution, it be exonerated from the payment of ? 101 07 water tax due. The request was granted with the understanding that other institutions of a like natnre get the same treatment. Marriage Licenses Issued Yesterday Name. Besidence. I Alex. L.
