C THUE8DAY;EVENING, APRIL 14. 1898. $4.00 PEfi YEAR THE PRESS k. n J IV - v 41 SCHOOL ELECTION The Election Board Decides Against New Registration WILL IT BE HELD NOW? Electtoa Board Asmoonoed Decision To day Whether aa Election Will ba He-Id Dapaada on the Interest Shown bj tha People. The school commute of Raleigh township, It will be remembered, petl tloned tha board of County Commie (loners at their session April 4th, to call a special school election for June 14th, to decide whether a majority of the eluctor of Raleigh township are willing to Vote for the issuance of $50, 000 in bonds for the public schools. The law Is mandatory and the commission ers had to order the election as re . quested. However, the school committee also asked that the commissioners order a new registration for this election. The question as to whether a new registra tion should be ordered or not could only be decided by the county board of elec tions, which Is composed of the chair man of the board of County Commis sioners, MaJ. J. B. Hill, the Clerk of the Superior Court, D. H. Toung, and the Register of Deeds, J. J. Rogers. This board of elections did not reach their decision until this morning, when, after a brief session, they decided not to order a new registration. Supt. Howell previously saw the mem bers of the board and presented arguments for a new registration. He claimed th -' "V new registration was obtalrN'clon', feV&tora Interested in the matter ,eea-t-', con 'could register and the vote wouJj1" fair, but if a majori ty of the voters now on the registration books was necessary every disinterest ed voter, who failed to go to the polls, would be equivalent to a vote , against the bond Issuance. Mr. Toung said, however, that a new registration would be of considerable expense, and, aa all the voters were registered, he saw no necessity for this additional expense. Maj. Hill and Hr. Toung both held this view. Mr. Rog ers, not being a resident of Raleigh township, said that he would not take sides In the matter but would leave it to the others. Mr. Toung said that the board did not mean to oppose the bond issuance by their action. He thought from what 8uptx Howell told him that the school needed more funds. It is said that in view of the decis ion against a new registration, the . school commit t tee have no hope of car rying the election and that they will withdraw their petition for an election at the next sess.on of the board of com missioners. However, this has not been verified. Mr. A. A. Thompson, a mem ber of the school committee, said thlB afternoon that he thought whether an election would be held or not depends on the interest shown by the voters. If It is probable that the election can be carried, even without a new registra tion,, the election will be held. The com mittee Is anxious to ascertain the senti ment of the people on this Important question. ' OUR NOBLE ORDER.

This Will be the Attraction Here for Next Week. John Griffith, assisted by an excel lent company, will present his elab orate production of "Faust" Tuesday night, April 19th, at Metropolitan Opera House. The text of Mr. Griffith's ver sion of Goethe's majestic drama clings closer to the great poet's masterpiece than that of any other version now extant, and Mr. Griffith makes a Mephlsto spirit "who unceasingly de nies." He makes him an Intellectual devil whose business is to present all that is opposite to good. Griffith's Mehlsto does not tempt Faust directly and brutally, but rather ensnares him by a train of reasoning which the latter cannot answer, because they are but reflections of -his own doubts and fears. Retaining Mephisto's cunning. his searching ridicule and savage cyni cism, he echoes all the reckless unbe lief of the human race, their rebellious Impulses, their Indulgences and a'ega- tlon of virtues, love and faith; always willing the bad but always working thereby the good, in spite of himself. The production will be magnificently staged, both scienlcally and electrical ly, particularly In the revels on the Brocken, which is said to be the finest scene of the kind staged.

By Cable to the Press-Visitor. London, April 14. The Westminster Gazette says: "The scene In the United States House of Representatives, and In the Senate, the insulting report on the Maine disaster, are bardly edify ing, but they are the inevitable result of the peculiar provisions of Jhe United States Constitution which disarms the executive and compels the last steps in a most perilous crisis to be taken in blazing publicity." LEE'S TESTIMONT. He Knew of No Mines In theiHarbor Before the Maine Incident. Washington, April 14. The testimony of General Lee before the Senate Com mittee on Foreign Relations was made public to-day. It constitutes a book of 650 pages, and Includes not only the tes timony taken since the Maine disaster, but that taken before and running back a year or more. The statement which contains the greatest current Interest Is that of Gen. Lee on the 12th. when he said that he was Informed on very good authority that the Spaniards had plac ed two rows of torpedoes Just' at the mouth of Havana harbor within the past two months, subsequent to the Maine disaster and that the switch hoard Is In a roomjn Morro Castle. He had no lformation of the placing of tor pedoes In the harbor before the Maine was destroyed, or regarding their pur chase abroad by Spain.

Signs of activity for what now seems to be a probable conflict were continued at the War Department yesterday Everything is in readiness for a prompt movement of troops toward some cen tral point, particularly of the forces east of the Rocky Mountains, but (iun. Miles says that nothing is likely to be done In the way of moving any large body of ,'troops southeastward until there is evidence that their services will be needed, which will be determin ed by the action Congress takes. Complete arrangements have been made for the Immediate mobilization of practically the entire military force of the government at the Chickamauga National Park at the first signs of trou ble. It is expected In case of necessity a call will be issued for about 40,000 troops, preferably from the National Guard of the different States and Terri torles. In the event that the war policy contemplates the invasion of Cuba the army may be increased to 100,000 men. Of this the regular troops and the National Guardsmen will aggregate about 55,000 men, and the remainder will be made up of volunteers. In the event of a call upon the National Guard attention will be directed first to the organizations in the State of New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and the District of Columbia. Gen. Miles' plan is to mobilize seven teen of the twenty-five regiments of infantry and five of the ten regiments of cavalry at the Chickamuga Park as speedily as possible. The Third Cavalry at Fort Ethan Allan, Vt., the Sixth at Fort Myer, Va.; the Tenth at Fort Asslmiboine, Mont.; the First at Fort Riley, Kan.; the Fifth at Fort Sam Houston, Tex., are all held in readiness for orders to rendezvous at Chickamauga In the event of hostili ties.
