WARLIKE NEWS
A cable despatch speaks 1:1,f an alliance,
offensive and defensive, between England,
France and 'Spain, against the United States,
as being in process of formation. This may
be a rumor got up for effect upon the money
and stock market. And yet such an alliance
is not wholly improbable. The rejection of
the Alebama claims treaty and Mr. Sumser's
speech , have created a very bad feeling in
England. Spain, too, feels very sore about
our sympathy with the struggling Cubans.
The two governments might well unite
against us, and France could easily be induced
to join them. It the alliance should really
be made, our
,government will have to resort
to prompt and energetic measures on the
Cuban as well as the Alabama question.
P 1171113LIICAN PILIMLAII, ELEC ettoNs.
A rumor prevails that it is the intention of
the Republican City Executive Committee
to postpone the primary elections, which
tinder the rules of the party take place on the
second 'Tuesday in June, to a later period
in the summer. It is sincerely to be hoped
that nothing of the kind will be attempted.
Delegates elected by the Republican party in
the several divisions of the consolidated city,
met in convention early in the last year, and
alter careful and prolonged deliberation,
adopted "rules for the government of_ the
Union Republican party of the city of Phila
delphia." One of the main objects in revising
the rules was to remove the complaint that
the delegates to the nominating conventions
were elected in the heat of the summer, when
a large portion of the party were absent from
the city, and as a consequence the elections
were controlled by a tew designing and inte
rested politicians, and the deYgates did not
represent the wishes of the mdss of the party.
The natural result was the selection of candi
dates in whom the people reposed no confi
deuce. Last year, however, under the new
rules, considerable interest was manifested,
and in almost every election division a very
full vote was polled,an unexceptionable ticket
was placed in the field, and although it was
not elected, the fact is well known
that the defeat was attributable
to Democratic frauds, now being
investigate% and which will no doubt even
tuate in the present incumbents being ejected
from the positions they now hold by these
frauds.
For the information of those interested, we
give the rules of the party relating to this
subject, and trust that until they are altered
in the manner prescribed,they will be strictly
adhered to. The City Executive Committee
have no more authority to alter these rules
than any Ward or Division Committee, and
should they presume to do so, they at once
open the door to a wide-spread complaint
and dissatisfaction, which can only result in
defeat.
EULF. VI.-REGISTRY OF VOTERS
It shall be the duty of the Regissering Officers
to meet at the regular places of bolding elections,
(or at such places as may be provided by the Reg
istering officers,) on the first Tuesday in June,
from 4 to /3 o'clock, P. M., for the purpose of add
ing the names of all persons claiming the right
to vote, and no names shall be added after said
meeting.
KELE VII.-PRIMARY ELECTIONS
The annual primary election for Representa
tives to the various Conventions, shall' be held on
the second Tuesday in June, between four and
eight o'clock, P. M. , at the usual places of hold
ing elections, unless some other place shall be
hat d by the Election Officers and the members of
the Ward Ext culive Committee of the proper
division, of which change mo Voters shall have at
least one week's public notice.

111111910A.L DISCOBLD
It-is proverbial that tilt re is nothing so dis
cordant as music, and no class of people so
quarrelsome and impracticable as those who
devote themselves to
"the concord of sweet sounds."
It seems quite natural therefore to find that
a sharp discussion sprang up yesterday, in
the Board of School Controllers, over the ac
tion of the Committee on the Revision of
Studies in reference to the introduction of
music into the public schools. There was
no difference as to the desirability of the
thing proposed, but there was a severe attack
made upon the manner of the Committee's
action. It was openly charged that favorit- I
i 13131 had been practised in the selection of
the teachers, and that the successful ex
aminees had not been reported in the order of
their merit. Objection was also made to de
voting one-fifth of the appropriation to the
employment of a male Superintendent.
We want to see this experiment fairly and
thoroughly tested in the public) schools, and
we regard it aa very unfortunate that it should i.
be started with the Board of Controllers al -
most equally divided upon the subject. We
cannot imagine that there was any inten
tional untairneAs In the selection of the
teachers, bat if there is any serious Buspicion_
Eii - ve been better to re- , !
consider the nominations and so give 'an op
portunity
tki remove this prejudiae at the out
set.

tendent OtAttlale at $1,200 a year, the excep
tion urg o,tby 11. Wetherill appears to us to
' 0 well taken. The selection of Mr. Louis la

a very good one, tu3d that gentlenNufe enthu
siastic devotion to his profession is of the
kind best suited to make hiM very useful for
certain purposes of the experiment: But 1 11 ,
may be gravely doubted whether any super
intendent is needed at all. If the teachers are
competent, and a uniform system of iQsne -
tion is adopted, it would be very easy•-•fok a
committee of the
„Controllers to ascertain
whether the schools were making proper and
satisfactory progress. The $1,200 would
employ three more teachers, and would be
more economically expended, in our jndg
ment, in that way. If there is to be a Super
intendent, Mr. Louis will make a very good
one; better, probably, than most who would
be likely to be selected. Our doubt is as to
whether there is any Superintendent needed
at all.
Mr. W. W. Corcoran has made a noble gift
to the public. The fine building erected by
him on Lafayette Square, just before the war,
for an art gallery, has been conveyed by him
to trustees, who are to hold it forever as a
free museum of art. He has also Oven his
fine collection of paintings and statuary, and
$300,000 in cash to purchase other works of
art. Wealthy collectors in New York are
counted on to make handsome contributions
to the museum. This is the most liberal
work in the Interest of the fine arts that has
ever been done in America, and Mr.Corcoran
deserves to be regarded as a benefactor to the
whole country. There is so much that is
vile in the way of , sculpture and painting, in
Washington city, that the choice of it for the
site of a museum that may become a school
of art, is particularly fortunate.
• The death of Commodore Henry A.
Adams, which occurred in this city `ester
day, has created a feeling of regret among his
zibmerous friends, although his health has
been so feeble for the last two years that
his recovery has not been expected. His
latest active service was on board the Sabine,
commanding the Gulf squadron at the time
of the rebel demonstrations on Fort Pickens,
in 1861. After that he was on special duty
in this, his native city, until disabled by pa
ralysis, when he was placed on the reserved
list. He was an excellent officer and a highly
estimable gentleman.

MR. MORRIS TO BE RECALLED
The Virginia Election
Army Officers as Indian Agents
VISITORS AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Destruction of Steamboats at Cincinnati
[Special Dettpatch to the Phila. Evening Ballettn.l
WAsinNarorr, May 12.—There is . the Wit au
thority for saying that the President has deter
mined to recall Minister Morris from Turkey at
an early day. At the time Congress adjourned
Senator Sumner and , others had assurances that
for the present, at least, Mr. Morris should not
be disturbed, but recent facts which have come
to the knowledge of the President and Secretary
Fish convinced them that a change was aces
sary. The manner in which Mr. Morrisbrought
influences to bear upon the President,
as well as upon the State Department,
to have himself retained at Constantinewle vexed
both President Grant and Secretary Fish very
much. He bad a petition drawn up and signed
by a large number of Greek and Russian
merchants and bankers of Constantinople, who
are not all friendly to the Turkish government,
praying for his retention. This was addressed to
the Secretary of State, but sent to Senator
Sumner to be delivered to him, when it was pre
sented with the.request that it be laid before the
President
Secretary Fish declined to do so, and seemdd
highly displeased that Mr. Morris bad found it
necessary to get foreigners to ask his retention.
Baron Stoeckel, the Russian Minister, also
asked that Mr. Morris be kept In Turkey, proba
bly because he sympathized with Russia as
against Turkey; but this only served to strengthen
the President's conviction that it was for the in
tercet of the Government to make a new ap
pointment for this mission.
The action of the Cabinet, yesterday, in de
eidirg to submit, separately, at the corning elec
tion fn Virginia, on the 6th of July, the disfrati
(tiskn and the test oath clauses for ratification
or rejection, is satisfactory to Virginia 11 , -publi
cans here. and they cypress confidence that both
will be adopted.
The assignment, yesterday, of a large number
of - military officers as Indian agents is not at all
satisfactory to inany Republican politicians in
thlt. city. They claim that Iris an encroachment
upon Unir power of disposing of a number of
goad clilees to party friends.
The British and Belgian Ministers . left the city
yesterday to %Ifni. Pennsylvania as the guests of
Senator Cameron. Before returning they expect
to visit the coal mines and iron manufactures
throughout the State.
More visitors were at the White. House during
the President's office hours than at any time since
the 'adjournment of Congress. From some un
explained cause a large number of ofliee•seekers
arrived in the city yesterday, and took their sta
tions at an early hour this 13101411121 g in the Recep
tion room at the White House, in anticipstion
of being able to present their papers to the Presi
dent in person. The President determined,
however, not to be forced to listen to personal
appeals In many eases for unimportant offices,
and most applicants were referred to the heads
of the various Departments. No politician of
spselal prominence caner).

[Special Despatch to the PhDs. Evening/Imletin.)
NEW YORK, May 12.—The money market is
easy and quiet at 6to 7 per cent. Gold has been
firm and steady on moderately large transac
tions, selling, as extreme quotations, at 13.83(0
138%. The sales are less affected' by sensational
repasts than during - the last two or
thred ;days. The rumor of the alliance be
tween England, France and Spain seems to have
no effect on the premium, nor .does the later
report from Washington, to the effect that unless
the United States be responsible for any future
expeditions for the reLef of the Cubans, the
Spanish Minister will demand his passport.
Cash gold is abundant at 4@ , 7 per cent. for
carrying. Foreign eacbange advanced on an
active demand. Prime bankers' bills 109%; short
sight 1103.
The steamer Scotia tailed to-day,taking 4310,500
In specie.
'lee government bond market opened strong,
Ind advanced per cent. on the entire list from
last night's quotations. though with few trans
actions. The market kept up until after the
Secretary of the Treasury received proposals for
the sale of a million to honds,ae advertised. Bids
were received from seven firms, the aggregate
amount being i:t,4.lo,ooo,chielly running to '6l's,
'6s's and '67's.
The awards were first made to Jay Cooke Sr,
Co. and Fisk & 11-tch, on Gs's and 67's. b h it the
later corrtc,ed list gave the award to eery
Clews & Co. for one million in 67's at 117 85.100.
July and January bonds are worth 2 per cent.
more than May and November bonds;
Ibis two per cent., with gold at 13734.
is equal to 2, 4 : per cent. currency; this 2%,addod
to 115 54-1 f makes the hide for May bonds
made by Jay Cooke «teal to 118 29.100 for July
bonds. Clews & Co.'s bids, therefore, for 1867's
are % per cent. more desirable for-the govern
ment to accept, and the awards weer made
as above. Railroad shares have been active and
firm throughout the day,with no special feature,
except Wabash, which advanced to 77,ki on ru
mors of its consolidation with the Michigan
Southern or Lake Shore, to be run by the Van
