THE SCHOOL FUND.
Schools to Be Held Up for Six
Months,
A MISUNDERSTANDING
*
Over the Commencement of
the School Year —The
Governor’s Veto.
Special to Tbe Tribune.
Atlanta, Nov. 21 —The question of
quarterly payment of teachers brought
up b, the rep >rc of tbe j tint committee
yesterday has formed the principal theme
of discussion about the legs'aure today.
Tbe report makes it appear very simple
indeed, but there is a misunders r anding
of some eort growing out undoubtedly of
the difference between the fiscal year and
the calendar year.
The committee’s report figures it about
this way: That by the first of April
whim the first payment provided by their
resolution will be due, there will be in
the trea-urv in round numbers something
like $3,1)00,000. They say that that will
be fir the first qtarter, and also
/qr wbat roar be due to the sol
diers and widows providing they be pai i
quarterly a'ao. Included in this $3,000,000
is tbe state road rental which goes to toe
school fund every Jally of the previous
year. Even here there is a clash be
tween what tbe committee thinks the
quar erly payments amounts to and what
the state school commissioner placed
that quarterly payment at. Commission
er Bradwell says that this will be $400,-
000 or more as the first quarter is tbe
heaviest.
Ou the contrary the committee says
the first quarter is the lightest. I am
afraid they do not agree on what tbe
first quarter is. The school year now
begins the first of Ju y, while the com
mittee does not say so it seems pretty
sure that they are figuring on it begin
ning the first of January. Even if it
does begin tbe first of January and oven
if there is the amount of money
needed for the first payment, it is diffi
cult to see where tbe money for the sec
ond and the third payment is to come
from. It is all plain sailing lor the fourth
payment as the bulk of the tax s come
in in the last month or last two months
of the year.
After a careful study of the whole
thing the solution seems inevitable that
the schools must be suspended for six
months. That is tbe feature of the bill
introduced by Mr. Fleming. If the
schools are suspended for six months
and the money due the school fund is put
directly in the treasury and,plaeed to the
credit of the several counties, then it will
be possible to pay the teachers at the
end of every quarter. They may not get
the full amount the first: quarter or the
second quarter, but the money will be
accumulating, and it is easy to see with
this machinery, they may eventually
reach regular payments.
The Day In the Legislature,
It was an easy day in both branches of
tbe legislature today. The members of
♦he present legislature are not talkers,
strange to say, and with the very light
attendance made- necessary by general
illness, they have gotten down to busi
ness aid are passing such bills as t ey
deem necessary without any discussion.
The feature of the day was the veto
by the governor of a bill of Mr. Freeman,
of Troupe, giving attorneys the right to
swear to the best of their knowledge and
belief in certain money cises. After a
careful study of tbe bill ana of the pres
ent law.aad especially of t ie decisions of
the supreme court bearing on that sub
ject, tbe governor has decided that it
would be a bad bill, and for that reason
vetoed it.
Quite a big Chatham county delega
tion is here tod <y, figuring ov. r the much
discussed election bill introduced by
Mr. Doolan. Tbe gentlemen who arb here
are Mayor McDonough, M-J >r Rya's, Col.
Estill and fine or two others, and they
are fighting the bill. The indications
are however that the bill wik have the
support of the en.ire delegation.

Atlanta, Nov. 21. —The bill which

A bill providing that any woman shall
be entitled to a pension who can show
that she was the wife of .a soldier during
the war, that she was his wife at his
death, and that his death was caused by
wounds received during the war, pro
voked considerable discussion but failed
of passage, receiving only 03 votes in the
house.
In the house, a general bill providing
pay for election managers and clerks,

fixed the compensation at $2 a day; the
bill as passed leaves the sum in the dis

and widely known.
As commissioner of agriculture during
Mr, Harrison’s administration, he made
a world-wide reputation for Ids peculiar
traits, and was the butt of many a good
joke gotten off by the press.
He kept open house to all who chose
to call, and conducted the affairs of his
office in the government building, as ho
had during his incumbency of the office
of governor of Wisconsin, where the
humblest of his fellow citizens received

Jeremiah Rusk was born June 17,
1830. and, like Governor Alger, too, he
began life at* the lowest round of the
ladder. Even when he went to Wis

a living as a farmer, but he had secured
a first rate English education.
He gradually worked his way upward,
entered the army in 1862, became a lieu

the campaign which ended with the cap

London, Nov. 21.—.A special dispatch
to The Times from MeShed brings
further details of the earthquake that
occurred Friday s.t Kirchan, in the
northern part of the province of Khoras
san. The town was completely desaoyed.
The loss of life was immense. Great
crevasses opened in the earth, through
which the water flowed in ton ents. can ?
ing the Atteek river to overflow its
banks. -
The fertile region around the city was
inundated, and large gardens and exten
sive vineyards swept out of existence.
The people of Kuchan had no chance so
save anything.
The shock was so severe that the
largest houses in the town, including the
residence of the governor, almost in
stantly toppled ever, crushing hundreds
of people to nth.
The town had a population of between
20,000 and 25,000 persons, and it is
thought that at least 1,000 perished.
Many persons were carried away by the
flood that flowed down the valley, ’

An Ex-Attorney General Talks.
General Alfred S. Hartwell, formerly
attorney general of Hawaii, in an
view published in The Chronicle here
says: ’ _ <
“The fact deserves special notice that
the citizens of Honolulu established the
existing government of Hawaii in order
to conserve life and property. Anarchy
was rampant/ The ex-queen had no
hereditary, no reserved rights. She be-
I came ‘qualified’ as a queen only on her
I taking her oath of office to support the
| written constitution of 1887, by virtue
of which she succeeded Kalalakua.
“J p the royalists feared that Captain
Wiltse’s forces would lie used to assist
in Hie prevention of bloodshed, and
i therefore skilfully caused the ex-queen’s
i abdication to be expressed as if it were a
surrender to United States forces or that
it was a temporary surrender until the
United States government should make
its own views on tiie situation,
not a
i d
t’i;- ed act
as umpire betiycen her and the ppovis
ional government. If such agre^f
had, however, been made, it was
judicial course to take ex-partestaW
■ ments and conceal from the Hawaiian
government’s minister or its representa
tive in Washington positions intended to
ibe taken. That the Washington admin
istration, on Wearing all the facts, will
refrain from inciting mob violence in
Honolulu cannot be doubted.”
