' A move was carried out by the ad herents of the cause of W. D. Bryden at the school board meeting Saturday night, and one which help til' for the present at least, the election of the entire corps of teachers for the city. The board went Into Its expected deadlock' over the prlnclpalshlp of the High school, and the three directors thereafter refused to vote on any of the other posltlons.thus leaving but the three votes of Hockenbeiry, Hushes and Kerwln, an Insufllclent number to elect. The mutter was fin ally laid over till the next rcRiilar meeting. In oider to give the dlrectots an opportunity to meet a a committee of the whole and discuss tholr troubles behind locked doors. It was 8.15 when the meeting was called to oider. All the membets were present. After a few Items of minor Importance had bcen passed upon, Mr. Swigert moved to take up the election of teacheis. Mr. Kerwln nnd Mr. Gal lagher wonted It postponed, but the other four members voted yen. Swlgeit nominated W. D. Bryden for principal of the High school. The jp.s and nays were taken, resulting as lollows. For Uiyden Swigert, Ker wln and Vannan. Hughes voted no, nnd Hockenbeiry ami Gallagher te fused to vote. Thechaltman declared Mr. Bryden not elected. Mr. Swigert, seconded by Mr. Klr wln, moved to defer action on the election of teachers till the next meet ing. Mr. Hockenbcriy objected, saying that It would not be tight to keep all the teachers In suspense. "Common report," said he, "says that If Mr. Bryden is not elected, no other teach ers will be. If there Is nny man on the boa,rd who will father such a scheme, let him come out like a man. It is the right of the teacheis to know whether or not they ate going to get the directors' support. Give every one the same chance as Mr. Bryden." The motion to lay over was put and lost on n tie vote. Hughes then nominated A. W. Geary as a teacher. Mr. Kerwln said he could not see the use in going on with the election, hut the chairman otdeied the roll call. Mr. Swigert moved to adjouin. and Mr. Hockenberry to.e to a point of order, saying that the roll had been ordered, thcrefoie the motion was out of order. It was so declaied. The toll was called. Hockenbcuy, Hughes ,tnd Gallagher oted for Geary. The other thiee jefused to vote, making nn election. President Hughes presented Miss Lucy Joslln's name, but Immediately withdrew it. Swigert moved to adjourn. Mr. Huirhes said that he hail no objection to the directors supporting Mr. Bryden. if they saw lit, but he questioned their right to hold up every teacher on the eorps because hev was not elected. Mr. Swigert denied the Inference that he was trying to hold up any election and said he had moved to ad journ in good faith. He also icbuked the chairman for saying It was the Intention of the directors to hold up the rest of the teacheis. Mr. Hockenberry lellcvcd Mr. Hughes of the blainc for making the statement which riled Mr. Swigert, and the latter wlthdiew his ciltlcism of the chairman and said he would Tlaee It where it belonged. Mr. Hockenbcuy s.iid he was not piepared to say who he would vote tor for principal, but he served notice on Mr. Bryden by his action last nisht. he said, that he would never vote for him "because," he added, "I don't consider him competent for the place.". He argued, howeer, that be cause Bryden failed of election. It was no reason why the othets should. Miss Pace's name was presented by Mr. Hockenberry. Mr. Kerwln asked to hae the mat ter laid over. The chairman wanted to know why they wanted to lay It over after bringing it up themselves. Mr. Swigert said he would like to have another committee of the whole meeting with Mr. Vannan present, he having been absent at the fine Fri day evening. After some discussion this was agieed to and a motion to adjourn by Swigert was put and car iled, the chairman serving notice that the next time the question Is brought up the whole Nn will be gone through.

Prom the Seattle l'ost-Intelllgcncer, A writer In the New York Mall and Express believes that the problem ot cheap ocean freight rates for bulky cargoes across the Atlantic will bt polved'by the substitution of ocean going tugboats, each towing a numbc of barges, for the tramp steamships which at present carry a large share of such freight. The towhoat and barge have already cut considerably Into the coastwise huslness, which was becom ing monopolized by the big many masted schooners a few years ago, and have more recently essayed lengthy voynpes. The Luckenbachs, the Bos ton Towhoat company, the Metrittsnnd a number of other American concern have repeatedly tnwrd disabled shlpt 2,ooo miles o 0 port of refuge. The M. E. Luckenbach Is a tine sped men of the ocean-going tug of the mod ern type. She has 1,100 horse-power and steams l"i-i knots when going light. With three barges loaded with 7.S00 tons of coal, she has frequently mndi the trip frotn Norfolk, Va., to the upper bay In New York in forty-eight houtr-. She can run twenty-four hours on a coal consumption of fifteen tons; and as her full bunker capacity is 2S0 tons. It can be sc-en that she could teadlly croj-s tho Atlantic, ns she steams 10 knots an hour with her otdlnary tow. The Tnniao.ua, with 1,050 horse-power, has frequently made the round trip from Philadelphia to Boston with a tow In seven and a half days, and has a iccotcl of towing 3.'(,030 tons of coal over the outside route between those ports In thirty days. The tow-boats and barges have also Invaded the Southern lumber trade. The barge Forest Belle has been towed fiom Fernandlna, Fla , to Boston with 1.400,000 feet of lumber In view of these facts, It Is not sur prising to lea tn that a scheme Is on foot to put a oarge and tow-boat line In tho fruit-carrying business from the West Indies. The harges will be fitted up with lefilgetating appatatus, anf will ho towd by poweiful tugs at a peecl greater than that of the Nor wegian, Biltlsh and American freight ste.imets which .tie now engaged Ir that business. It Is also claimed that, with tefilgeratlng plants on such batges, It will be possible to ship to lit eat Britain the major portion of the American diessed beef, which Is now being cart led In steamers, and at a very much lower freight cost. Marine pngineeis say that It Is possible to hulla and operate an lR-knot tug to cross the Atlantic at gieat profit. The use of tugboats nnd barges ha not become general on the Paclflft toast; and there are here no ocean tug? of the s.ze which have lately come in use on tho Atlantic, hut theio have been some experiments In that dliec tlon, not without Interest. During the first of the Klondike rush, when there was an Insufficient supply of shipping on the Pacific coist to meet the sud den and urgent ncniand for transpor tation to the Northern ports, several barges and dismantled hulks wero towed to Alaska, laden with heavy car goes, and last year one noticeably large barge was towed to Nome. Whether It would be ptactleable to tow a IK'et of barge acioss the Pacifln is an open iiUfstlon. If tug and batge lines can be opeiated as a commercial proposition across the Atlantic, there Is nothing in reason why they should not be llkevise successful on the Pa clllc, pattlcuiatly If the not them route be chosen. Wl'h coaling stations along the Aleutlin Islands, at Dutch harbor, ftu1 example, a Mgbnat would have nn gieater dlhtances to ttavel hetween coaling points than on tho Atlantic; neither U there any more likelihood of encountering disastrous storms on tho Pacific route than en the Atlantic. Cheap ocean treight rates to the porta of Asia will give the United States a large advantage over Its European competltois In the coming struggle for tho trade of Asia. A
