A determined effort is lielns made to oust Supt. O. r. T Cook, of Hie colored schools of Washington, from his imsltlon. There are heteral factions among tnecnl ored people here Jnd I'rof. Cook has roused aulagoulsm in at least oneof them.

In addition to hearing this paper the bourdiiaiuedateachero.KuglUn.putiotwo tea books, and upprmed .1 number of up poiutmenuand promotions.

TI.e communication from Jesse Lawsou. President or the Atlanta Imposition Col ored Commission tor WasIiintUm, regard ing the failure to send a colored tchool ex hibit to Atlanta, was read. AQAlNST SDI'T. COOK. It stated In eirrct that Supt. Coot had obtained pcrmi-ion irom the board to prepjre an etbiblt, had'hclU a concert v Itu the nfu of the school clitldreu to secure funds to (iay the ccpensis of uniting the eshiblt to Atlanta .ind maintiinlng it tliere, and tl en had suit tlie papers specimens of needle nork, wood work, drawing, etc., to a storage houe iiioltad oj- placing them in the ii.iuils of tbc coinmissiou to place in the exposition. The commission had been ready to pay any necessary cost of maintaining the display at Atlanta, and a railroad bad agreed to transport the goods to Atlanta without cost. Supt. Cook bad, however, refuseJ to allow the display to go unless the commission nould make a guarantee of $700 to return the display here unin jured. The commission was ready to do this, but asked what had become of the money raised at the concert. Unpleasant rela tions were produced anil the exhibit was not made. Parents were complaining, ad the board ought to investigate the matter. Tru'lee Corni-h raid the concert was given wholly by the tcliools and the At lanta Communion hail nothing to do with It. The jrhole matter had lK-eu placed before the Commissioners by Mr. Lawson and the Commissioner had decided that no action was to be taken. He could not eec that t lie school board bad any business to interfere after the Commiesibaers had acted. Trustee Darlington, however, moved that tlie conununication be referred to trustees Shadd, Ilruce, Cornish rand Terrell as a PIeical committee and it was so voted without dissent. HIS EXPLANATION. Supt. Cook faid to a Times" reporter that the concert only netted about $00. It was held at Contention Hall on April USlh last. Tliere were heavy expenses and the income was not so large as hoped for. The accounts of the affair are acces sible to any one at his office. He declined to allow the cxhlnit to go because it was worth S1.000 to $1,500 and he wanted a guarantee for it", safe return. Also be was eure the attendants in charge of the ex hibits at Atlanta should le teachers in tlie rchool. bat lie bad no guarantee that it would b bo. Mr. Lawron paid last night, the Com nlftdon was willing to send teachers ree onitwEdeil by Supt. Cook to take charge of the display, but the appointment must have been made by the Commission.

Trustee Darlington stated that Mr. George Smith, who had been teacher of English, after a year's leave of absence had notified the board of ills desire to resume his position but at the last moment had resigned. This had made it difficult to choose a successor. The committee had finally agreed to recommend Miss N. M. Reynolds' for temporary head of the de partment at $1,500 a year, to gointo effect October 1. This was a promotion out of order bat was only for the year. The boanl voted its approval. There was some talk or reducing tlie salary but no action was taken. Supt. Towell explained some changes among tho teachers which had some appear ance or unrairjicKs by saying that some teachers last year had been placed above the usual rank because the positions were t the disposal of the board. This year that ract was taken into consideration. Upon motion oITrustee DarIlngton.lt was voted that one more pupil be admitted to the Normal class rrom the Western High school .two more Irom theEa ster n.fourf rom H10 Central and upon motion or Trustee Cornish a proportionate number rrom tho Colored nigh school.

The exposition city to-day gave the Liberty Bell the most cor dial greeting tbat the historic mass of iron has ever received. It was literally an outpouring of the peo ple, such as has never been witnessed in the town and it would be impossible to con ceive a more notable exhibition of pa triotism. For nearly two mile's the train passed through solid walls or cheenRg peo le. They stood massed on tops ol freight cars, ji the bridges that span the railroad, on roof toiis, and in facfon every place tbat afforded a foothold. The Atlanta Light Artillery fired the Presidential sa lute and the first "shot was the signal for every steam whistle in the city to shriek out its discordant welcome The scene in and around the. station beggars description. The crowd seemed wild with enthusiasm and from cery window of eery factory, store aud dwel ling there were waving flags and bander chiefs. At the city limits Mayor Porter Iving and a big cointultteemct the escort party but there waB no formal reception until the visitors reached the Kimball House, where they are comfortably quar tered. There Mayor King said a lew word of welcome which were supplemented by ex-Major Hemphill, and briefly responded to by Mayor Warwick, of Philadelphia. The bell stood for a time In the railroad station, but later was taken to the shops, where it will remain under guard until to-morrow morning. f o morrow's plans are for a most elab orate parade and 'a formal reception.

The Ebb It t House Is the headquarters or the conclave, and the Supreme Castle held its first session there yesterday at 10 o'clock. The Supreme Castle is composed or one representative rrom every State in the Union where tbe order has a habitat, to gethcT with tbe past grand chief or each lodge. Jacob U. Aull, or Baltimore, supreme cblcr of the order, presided at tbe meet ing, and filed bis report for the last year. Most of tbe morning was taken up with tbe appointment of various standing com mittees, which, were as follows: COMMITTEES APPOINTED. Committee on law P. S. C. J. D. Barnes, or Pcnnsjlvanla, chairman; P. 8. C. Ed ward 8. Rowand. or Pennsylvania, and P. G. C. Paul E. McLcliand, or Maryland. Committee on finance and mileage P. G. C.

Among the questions to come before tbe Supreme Castle at the session will be amendments to tbe constitution in regard to taxation and readjustment ot the assess ment. Under the present law a juris diction thai has 2,000 members Is only required to pay a tax ot $200 annually to the Supreme Castle. This has worked a great hardship on some of tbc smaller castles, and it is tbe Intention of the present convention. If tbe necessary vote can be mustered, to change the law to a uniform assessment or 4 cents per member annually without regard to size or juris diction. Nominations for the various offices to be filled during the session have been made, and the discussion likely to grow from them Is expected to make the session lively. The report of the supreme chlet recom mends that a national castle be Instituted for such members who live in places under the Jurisdiction of the supremo castle, where castles have ceased to exist, and a per capita paid to the supreme castle. SUPREME CASTLE OFFICERS. The ofricers or the supreme castle are Messrs. Jacob II. Aull, A. C. Lyltle, Lyman P. Lewis', Timothy McCarthy, William Culberson, Williani O. Brown, P. B. Otter back, John H. Uatton, Dr. James E. Whit ford, and E. L, Tolson. They will continue to bold sessions at tlie parlors in the Ebbitt House until all or ho official business pertaining to the or ganization is disposed of. A prize drill wlU be held at National Park during the week. In which all of tbe uni formed companies In attendance upon the session will participate. A prize of $50 In cash will be given to the best drilled company and $25 to the second best. The grand parade ot the order took place jesterday afternoon. Several thousand men were in line, and the showy lwfornis of tbe Knights made a brilliant spectacle. All of the streets over which the procession passed were crowded with people, and many of the buildings along tbe line of march were profusely decorated with flags and bunting. Pennsylvania perhaps made the finest showing in tbe parade, and the marching of tbe Knights from this State was one of the rcatures. SOME CRACK COMPANIES. Tho Blue Cross and Lancaster Command cries, from Lancaster, Pa., made a par ticularly Hue showing.
