The pound of flesh was demanded and re ceived and the four hundred pieces of silver that were held as security for the transaction no lunger jlnglo in the hands of tho stake holder. This is a synopsis of the results and effects produced at the meeting of the School Hoard last night, beld to elect a Superin tendent of the schools to succeed V. D. Uogart and fill vacanclei in the corps of teachers. The meeting was attended by Directors Price, Ilanna, Higgins, Devitt, James, Lee, Edwards.O'Brien, Cotraers, Sollivan, Morgan, Baugli. Ogden, Wllllaisja and Tresise. The Democratic members wwre in high glee snd cracked jokes fast an4 furious about the twins that Director BnlHvau received from bis wife on Sunday fait. Director Sullivan accepted tbe congratulations and sallies with dignity and no little display of pride. Tbo meeting was called for seven o'clock, but It was almost a ball hour later when President Price and Directors Morgan, James, naugb, Ogden, Williams and Tresise arrived, the rost of the fifteen members patiently awaiting their arrival, The first onler of business was the reading of communications and 6k-crctnr.v Ilauim OT,t ivuci Hum om oinieriuicnut'jic or Public Instruction Shaefler, stating that the" acceptance of V. D. Bogart's resignation bad been accepted. A request by Mrs. Catherine Herman, of North West street, that she be exonerated from taxes was referred to the exoneration committee. A report on evening schools with a recom mendation that they close on Wednesday, iiltb Inst , was accepted. Then followed the star of the evening's program. Secretary Uanna rend the list of applicants for the position of Superiuk-udetit of the schools. It embraced twenty names, beaded by J. W. Coopei, and all except that gentleman lieing residents of other plains. M. P. Whltaker's uame was not on tho list. Secretary llanna moved that tho Hoard proceed to elect a Superintendent, and it was i so decided.

Mr. Ogden raised the .polut that tbo po sition of Principal was not vacant, as Mr. Cooper would not be Superintendent until commissioned by tbo state department. Mr. Devitt said, "We elocted Uogart aud all the others on the same condition." President Trice: "Mr. Cooper is holding the position of Principal." Mr. Ogden : "1 don't think we have the right to fill tbo position of Mr. Cooper until lie resigns." Mr, Devitt: "I understand he has re signed." Mr. Price : "There is no resignation here." Mr Ogden : "I don't wish to be under stood as olijeotlm? to Mr. Cooper. It appears I am not understood. The question that occurs to my mind, and it is a new one lo me, is 'what position would Mr. Cooper occupy lietween the present time and the timo ho receives his commission, which will, not be issued until 30 days after tho election.' I don't understand the potltion." Mr. O'llrieu; "I understand we are only promoting Mr. Cooper, so I don't think it would bo necessary tlfhave his resignation." Mr. Price: "The state must grant him per mission before he can act in tbe capacity of Superintendent." Mr. Kdwardt: "I move that Mr. Cooper be authorised to act as Superintendent until his commission Is received." Mr. Price: "He has been aotlug as Super intendent." Mr. Edwards: "Then what is the matter? My motion is that he continue to not as superintendent until his commission is re ceived. If there is to be any funny business hare, then we'll meot It." Mr. Ogden : "There is no funny business here, and there is not supposed to be any. I am not making any point against Mr. Cooper. He is now Principal of the High school and has been elected superintendent. He will get his commission in 80 days. In the meantime you fill bis position as Principal of the High school. What ihmUIoii does be fill in tbe meantime?" Mr. Hauna : "Mr. Cooper is now acting as Superintendent. In reality Miss Cllne Is Principal and tbe positions can eoutlmie the same until tho commission arrives." Mr. Ogden : "Is that a legal opinion 1" Mr. Ilanna : "No; it is my own vorsion." Mr. Ogden: "Ob !" Mr. Trezise : "I claim tiicre is uo vacancy in the High school." Mr. Ogden : "Has not Mr. Cooper been teaching his class In tbe High school 1" Mr. Prios : "Yes; he took that as a legal point In case something would come up, and he said he knew what he wasdoiug every day. In reality be has not reslgued." Mr. Morgan : "I move we go into an elec tion to fill Miss Kolb's vacancy." Mr. Ilanna : "There is a motion before the house to fill the two vacancies." Mr. Price : "I decide that we have hut one vacancy so far and ruio this question out of order. I Mr. Ilanna : "I appeal." After waiting few seconds Mr. Hauna asked, "Who seconds the appeal?" whereupon Mr. O'Brien arose aud said "I second the appeal" and durina a dlscnssiou that followed he caused laughter anu smiles on an sides by tbe remark. wuais ine use wimuug timer .Lets go aneau. we n curry toe thing, anyway. "Hoi Ho 1 1" cxcluiinod Director Ilaugh. Tbe appeal was put by Secretary Hauna ana sustuincu by a. vote of 8 to T, Messrs Edwards aud Lee voting with tbe Democratic members. The motion to nil two vacancies was then put aud carried by tbe same vote There were thirteen applicants for election aud Luther B. Edwards was the thirteenth name on tbe list. Tbe six Democratic mem' hers and Messrs. Edwards aud Lee voted for Miss Nora M. liraham and Luther I). Ed. wards, son of Director T. K. Edwards. Messrs. Price, Ogdsn, Baugh, Trezise, Morgan, Williams aud James voted only for Henry P. Oablo, taking the ground that they did not consider that two candidates could be voted for under the circumstances. Miss Grabsm and Mr. Edwards were declared elected by a vote of 8 to 7. Mr. Ilanna moved that the Board proceed to make promotions in tho corps of teachers, and the motion was carried. Mr. Edwards movod that Mr. Cooper act as Hupcrintcndctit of schools until his commis sion is received. Mr. Treziso said he thought the motion was out of order ; that Mr. Cooper could not act in any capacity, as he was neither principal, or sapertatendent. "If yon want to go that far now, yon should elect him as a teacuer, tie adHeil, ana followed with a demand that the law on the election of Superintendents, which provides that SO days shall elapse botween the election and the Issuance of tbe commission, to give time for the filing of objections. Mr. Edwards' motion was carried by the vote of 8 to 7 and he folllowrd it with a motion that Miss Clara Cliuc be promoted as principal of the High school and be exempted from the library duties, which were per formed by her predecessor, and also be ex empted from keeping the records of text books ana supplies in the High school, and her salary be $110 per month. t Mr. Cooper's salary for tho position was $180 per mouth. Mr. Trezise : "I object on the ground that we have a rule adopted by this Board to the effoct that the High school principal must take charge or the library and be assistant librarian, and to get at that propcrlv you must amend the rules and notico of the amendment must be given at two stated meetings. Mr. Edwards : "I'll add to that motion that the part referring to the library duties take effect thirty days from date, after the first meeting in May, meanwhile the first assistant principal do the work." Sir. Ogden : "This is not a regular meet ing." Mr. Ilanna: "The rules aro all right, but it is hardly reasonable to expect Miss I'liue to take charge of that work. Mr. Hritt could come down hero and do that Mr. Troaiso: "What has Mr. Hritt not to dow'thlt?" A ripple of laughter passed around tlie reom as Mr. Hauna made the Blip, but he paid uo more attention to Mr. Trezise's nues- tion than to smile. Mr. Trezise : "Does that resolution include Mr. Hritt?" Mr. Hauna : "No." Mr. Higgins: "It will." Tho latter remark caused a renewed outburst of aeneral laughter. Mr. Morgan : "I understand the Hlah school salaries are permanent. Ne,w the priiioijml's salary is $130 per month who is to get the other fao per month ?" Mr. O Ilrteu : "Ten per cent off." Mr. Morgan : "I guess Mr. Hritt will Bet some of It." Mr. O'Hrioui "He will take a piece of it." Mr. Edwards' resolution wns nut and carried by the vote of 8 to 7. Mr. Devitt moyod that Mr. Hritt bo an- pointed first assistant ju 'ho High school, as suming the duties of assistant librarian on May 10th at n salary of $00 por month. Miss Cllne received a salary of S70 a month in that position. The whole plan was thus laid bare. Miss Cllne became nrinclnal at n salary of $20 per month less than Mr. Cooper received anu the uiHerence was turned over to Mr. Britt. The motion was carried by a vote of 8 to 7. Mr. Ilanna: "I move that Luther II. Edwards be assigned to tlie position vacated by Mr. Hritt and .Miss (Irabu m be assigned to tbe position vacated by Miss Kolb. I lie position Mr. Hritt vacated was worth $55 per mouth. Mr. Morgan : "Is Miss Graham to have the same salary Miss Kolb received?" Mr. Ilanna : "No ; the same as fixed bv the schedule $35." Mr. Morgan : "Is Mr. Edwards' salarv to be $35?" Mr. Ilanna: "No; the school fixes that." Mr. Morgan : "I think we ought to nut a percentage on tliat, too, don't you ?" As the laughter following this remark died away the motion was put and carried by a vote oi s to 7. Mr. Trezise thought boxes should be Disced about tlie trees in front of the High School uuuiung ana on motion of Mr. Morean the matter was referred to the building and re pairs committee.

THE CMUt SERVICE LAW Bitterly Assailed In the Upper House of Concress. 'A HUMBUG, A DELUSION, A SHARE,' Declares Mr. Wilson, a Washington Re publican-Messrs. Hoar and Lodge Defend the Law, While Sena tor Ilawley Says it Has Been Violated. Washington, March 24. The senate was unexpectedly precipitated into a civil service debate yesterday. It pro ceeded for two hours, the civil service act and the commission being under Are most of the time. The debate as sumed added significance owing to the recent change of administration and the attendant demand for offices. Mr. Gorman, of Maryland, called attention to the presence In Washington of the horde of hungry place hunters, and expressed profound sympathy with his Republican associates over the restric tions of the civil service system. The discussion came up on a resolution to Investigate federal removals at South Omaha, Neb. Mr. Qalllnger, of New Hampshire, characterized the civil service system as a humbug, and de clared he would be Blad to cast his vote to blot out the system. There was continued applause In the galleries at this statement. Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, called the civil service act a "monumental hum bug," and Mr. Wilson, of Washington, said It was a "humbug, a delusion, n snare and a fraud." Mr. Ilawley, of Connecticut, while defending tho prin ciple of civil service, said, its practice had been attended with glaring incom petency. Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, re garded the civil service oommission aa an "office brokerage establishment." The Massachusetts senators, Messrs. Hoar and Lodge, defended the law. The resolution directing the civil ser vice committee of the senate to inves tigate the South Omaha, Neb., re movals was broadened by an amend ment Instructing the committee to In quire Into the general operation of the law and to report whether It should be continued, amended or repealed. Mr. Turple, of Indiana, spoke at con siderable length In advocacy of the election of United States senators by the popular vote, detailing the uncer tainties and frequent scandals attend ing the present method ot choosing senators. Mr. Derry, of Arkansas, secured the adoption of a Joint resolution for the purchase of 1,000 tents for the use of Mississippi flood BuTferers. Although several sharp passages at arms somewhat enlivened the tariff debate in the house yesterday, the brilliant speech of Mr. Dolllver, of Iowa, wns distinctly the overshadowing feature of the day. Mr. Dolllver Is a finished orator, and his speech was a masterpiece of forensic eloquence. Re plete with wit and glowing, periods, It alternately aroused his Republican colleagues to unbounded enthusiasm and convulsed the house with laughter. Mr. McLaurin, a Democratic member of the ways and means committee from South Carolina, created a mild sensation by boldly proclaiming him self In favor of a duty on cotton, and It waa noticeable that when he re pudiated the free xaw material doc trines of Cleveland and Carlisle, "and those who had prostituted the name of Democracy," fully three-fourths of the Democrats on the floor sustained him with hand and voice. A bill to compel respectful treatment for the United States flag was Intro duced In the house by Representative Howe, of New Tork. It provides that any person In the employ of the gov ernment who shall utter words that reflect or cast reproach on the Ameri can flag, thereby showing disloyalty to the flag and government from which they derive their livelihood, shall be Immediately dismissed from the ser vice. British Dislike Senate Amendments. London, March St. The Times, In a leading editorial, gives expression to anything but a satisfied state of feeling as to the senatorial amendments ot the treaty of arbitration. It says: "The United States senate has destroyed the arbitration treaty. The first amendment accepted is alone sufficient to render the treaty unworkable and utterly worthless. The senate has done more than to wreck an Instru ment carefully forged by representa tives of the two nations. It has struck a blow at the principle of arbitration iUelf, and at the confidence of the world In the American people." Respited While Wnllilng to the Gnllows. Santa Pe, N. M., March 24. Prepara tions for hanging Francisco Borrego, Antonio Horrego, Lauriano Aim Id and Patricio Valencia were completed yes terday. A troop of cavalry and a com pany of infantry were ordered out to escort the prisoners from the peniten tiary to the Jail and to guard the Jail. As the prisoners started from tbe pen itentiary Governor Thornton received a dispatch that the president had granted a reprieve t ten days. This makes the fourth time the execution of tlie prisoners in this celebrated case has been delayed. Mr. Harden IJenles a Humor, New York, March 24. Regarding a publication In the London Mail, charg ing Mr. Burden with refusing to pay the $10,000 reward offered for the re covery of his stolen diamonds, Mr. Burden declares that he has paid two thirds of the amount to London jewel ers who placed the authorities on the track, and that these Jewelers had set tled with the men who made the ar rest. Mr. Burden recovered only two thirds of hi diamond. The article in The Mail reflected on Americans gen erally. Jewelry Store Removed. A.
