VOL. VI. NO. 1.88 S. 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. A STILESBORO WEDDING, And Another Account of Thos . Incendiary r'ires. Special to the Tribune. bTiLtBBoKo, Ga., Nov. 20.—0a Tues day evening, November 14, at tbe home of the bride’s father, Mr. J. 8.

Atlanta, Nov. 21. —The bill which passed both houses, authorizing the an nexation of End to Atlanta has re ceived the signature of the governor. 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.

Viroqua, Wis., Nov. 21.—Ex-Gover nor Rusk died here at 8 o’clock. The death of ex-Governor Rusk re moves an unique character from before the public and causes a gloom over the ft' h IBP igt ■ JEREMIAH RUSK. section of country where he was so well 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 the same welcome that met the states man who' called to pay his respects. 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 consin, at the age of 23, he was earning 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 tenant colonel, bore an honorable part in the campaign which ended with the cap ture of Vicksburg, and was brevetted brigadier general for conspicuous gal lantry at the battle of Salkehatchie. He was once appointed comptroller of banks for Wisconsin, and held that office for five years. In 1870 he was elected to was elected governor, -s ■ f> !, 'd Ijic'-j/'T’J Pn i i '. y i n " .“-iv b* * During hi-- serious labor riots in action toward the rioters attracted much” attention at the time.

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, ’ A Georgian Announced For Congress. Athens, Ga., Nov. 21.—Hon. H. H.

Admiral Bkerrett . has said lu re that he lias information to the same effect, and from a source that he did not care to dispute. 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.” IN FULL BLAST.'
