Krotoff. Vet he la one of the most inf!ufcr;'i a ' personages of the Russian court and gov gaaaaA. not by reason of his rank, but because of his possession of the ear of his sovereign. He is the confidential valet and body servant of the gjjjperor. who has employed him as such for years. and who accords him the utmost confidence. Llv irg ot a distance from the capital, either at Tsars koe-Se!o or '•'"• '. and rarely visiting St. Petersburg, the Czar makes abundant use of the ts j e pi ; cne in communicating with his ministers, the generals and the principal dignitaries of the gov erament while they report to him in the same way. The telephone is in the Czar's own workroom, tr.d his Kids-de-camp and chamberlains are in the ar.te-cha:.!'.«?rs, out of earshot, while the only per son with him in his study when he is working there is Kr' - It ie Krotoff who answers the calls pjj the telephone, '"' it '> he, too, who calls up the with whom the Emperor wishes to com rn'-nicat-?. In nine cases out of ten it Is Krotoff who speaks over the telephone In the name of the Czar, and it was through him that Iswolsky re ceived the very curt message of imperial disap proval which led him to tender his resignation of th«> office of Minister of Foreign Affairs.

It Is a natural consequence of the absence of the Emperor from his capital and of the free "fe of the telephone. Xor can the Czar, who has found since his accession to the throne, so many case? of treachery and of selfish Intrigue in his rntourape. be blamed for making use in confiden tial rrattrrs of a tried and faithful servant who has jn attendance on him for years, both by day rr.i "".ir' I *. ar-t^ whom he knows to be blindly and gbsolately devoted to him.

Young Baroness Rosen, on her return here in the Bear future, will be found wearing the insignia of k maid of honor to the two Czarinas, which has just been bestowed bp the Czar upon her. on the occasi" 11 of her presentation at the Court of St. PetiisSurs- It is an honorary distinction that the Emperor is accustomed to confer upon all of the unmarriPil daughters of his ambassadors at for eign courts; that is to say. when these daughters fulfil the requirements of presentation. For the jrrowivup daughter of a Muscovite ambassador to be without this titular office indicates not only that she has not been presented at the court of her sovereign, bat that pome reason exists to stand in the way of her appearance at court; and it may fee recalled that during the regime of Count Cas sisi. when so much fuss was made of Mile. Cas tinl. who was asserted to have been decorated by the Emperor and to have received from him the title of countess In her own right, I called atten tion to the fact that th" office of maid of honor to the two Czarinas had been withheld from her. and that under the circumstances, being deprived of the customary official recognition accorded to am bassadors' daughters;, she was not quite qualified to get as mistress of the Russian Embassy. Mile, Ca^slni, as I predicted, did not accompany tfce count to Madrid, nor did she ever put in any appearance at the Russian Embassy there while he was hi charge r-f the mission. In fact, she was . rever presented, nor was phe seen at the Spanish court, which ignored her existence.

Lady O'Connell. who baa .lust been robbed of her fen-els while travelling 111 Italy, Is the wife of. Sir Morgan Rons O'Connell. of Lake View, Killarney, descended, not as M many people believe, from Daniel O'Conr.ell, the liberator, but from the lat itr's younger brother. Sir Morgan is Indebted for his possepsjen of the baronetcy to the fact that his eldest brother. Maurice, was killed fighting the Bcxrrs in .... an officer of the crack COth Rifles Regiment ; ad I may add that another member of thp O'Connell family. Daniel John O'Connell. a cousin, likewise laid down his life while fighting on the FTaff of Lord Roberta in the last South African campaign. Sir Morgan's sisfr. Ellen OConnell, Is married to Genera! Sir Charles Tuckf-r, the one who is popularly known throughout the British army an "Damr.ation Tuck«r," in order to distinguish him from a.n exceedingly pious and evangelical general of tie sam«» name, who is known as "Salvation Tucker." It may be added by way of explanation that "I>amn3tion Tiicker." although the best heart ed man in «the world, and always beloved by his men. is famed for the character of his language and or hi? expletives, which can only be described as extremely picturesque. Tbe O'Connel'.s are a very ancient family, which Originally came from County Limerick, but which has bwn Fettled for centuries in County Kerry. where its members used to be known as the O'Con- E«:is of Darrinlne Abbey, which, by the way. was the home of the liberator, whose name still occu pies so warm a ptaoa in every true Irish heart. The baronetcy of Sir Morgan is of relatively mod ern creation, and wan conferred upon Sir James O-CormeU. tbe youngest br thr of the liberator, by Qufr-n Victoria in 1569.

COUNT OWNED AUSTRIA'S NEWMARKET. What Newmarket is to the sporting world in Eng land, as the training ground for great racehorses. Tot:s is for the Austrian. Hungarian and German turf. With this difference— that whereas New raarket Heath belongs to the Jockey Club. Totls !s the private property of the Esterhazys. If ! mention this. It hi because the master and owner of Toils, perhaps the most magnificent country Beet in all Hungary, has just been gathered to his fathers, leaving a widow, who was born Princess Lobkowitz. and a fifteen-year-old son to inherit hi* great wealth. Count Francis, who was in his fiftieth year. had Inherited Totis about four teen years ago from his uncle. Count Mcholaa aaalllaMj. the founder of the Austrian JOCKey Cub: and it hi no exaggeration to say that there has hardly be*n a successful horse on the Austrian Sari that' has not been trained at Toils, where there are not one but several private race courses arid the most wonderful etanles. Count Francis, while devoted to racing, showed bo such predilection as his uncle for dramatic and lyric art. Nicholas built at Toti* a private theatre, at hr expense of $150,000. where, until his death. he maintained all the year round a first class operatic company, which produced from time to time operas written by meritorious composers, but whose names were not sufficiently known to gain th€ acceptance of the'.r pieces In the great capitals of Europe. He spent each year the sum of fcO.UW on the education of dramatic artists, and at the time of his death there were no less than ten students. male and female, at the Vienna Imperial Conserva tWycf Music who were living entirely at his ex- Pense. He was also wont to keep in his pay the •hole year round two or three talented painters, who lived with him at tht- castle at Totls, while «• a master of foxhounds his name was familiar throughout the hunting world.

Mr. Bond at the hour of Bailing made it appear that he was dissatisfied with hi.s treatment as a member of the Metropolitan Opera company and might return to Mr. H;immerstein. "I do not mow who is running It— at thai Metro politan," said Mr. Bonci "Sow it Is one. now it i.s another. I am no politician. I am an artist ." "But what about your contract:" the leim: \>. ns asked. 'A fig for my contract:' exolaime'i Bond, with n snap of his fingers. "They do not care for me.

Bonci is due to sing at the Metropolitan Opera House.again next season, for whi'h he has a contract. It !s said that he will appear nftener in New York than he has during the season that has just closed. On the same steamer sailed also Mme. [ lisa Tetrazzini. of the Manhattan Opera Company. Mme. Tetrazzini has suffered with grip and acute gastritis ever since she went to Boston, and has delayed sailing twice. She goes at once to sing at Covent Garden. London, where she has al ready missed several performances due to the post ponement of her leaving America. With Mme. Tetrazzini was her secretary, Slgnor Bozillo. Mme.

Berta Morena, who goes to Munich to sing at the Royal Opera House. She will also sing in th» Wagner festival to be held later in the summer. A BARYTONE'S RECITAL. On account of the disagreeable weather Heinrich Meya. the barytone, did not have as large dience in Mendelssohn Hall last night as he might lia\e had. But certainly the rain alone should have kept none away if it did not deter Dr. L*ldwlg Wullner, who was there with Conraad V. Bos, even if the condition of his throat had made him cancel his farewell recital. Mr. Meyn eang- an interesting programme of songs, nearly all of which were German Tl,.- au dience showed its pleasure by liberal applause and demands for several encores. IRVISG PLACE THEATRE.. "Der Weg zur Holle." . For thn dosing week of the season the Irving Place Theatre stock company has elei !•••! to pre sent a new farce comedy by Qnstav Kadelburg. »n titled "Der Weg sur Holle" ("Th^ Way to Hell"). The piece hardly justifies the titl-, which Is likely to arouse false expectations of melodramatic de pravity. The path to perdition is very vaguely out lined. The piece ls>. In fact, a merry burleaque on that particular form of the drama of sensation which pictures the destructive fascinations stage. There is a Spanish rtanoir who wants to retain the love of a former admirer, now happily mnrrieii, and who inMstß that he visit her at least one day in the year. He carries out t h»- contract much against his will. «nd many arnusliiß compli cations result from the falsehoods toitj by him and by his father-in-law . who also admires the dancer, which falsehoods nre. of course, exposed by an acute and enterprising mother-in-law. The piece is bright, interesting and weJl played It greatly pleac-d a largf- audience. THEATRICAL INCIDENTS.

It Abolishes Hoard of Education as a Separate Corporation and Gives Mat/ or Power of Removal By J. lUmpden Dougherty. Member of the Charter Commission. SEVENTH ARTICLE. So much misconception prevails regarding the educational chapter of the charter that " l » «»£ able briefly to explain the few changes it o **"- It abolishes the Board of Education as a separate corporation and gives the Mayor power to remove all commissioners at pleasure and to nomli ate _ the president of the board. It reduces the board^ from forty-six to fifteen. It places the expenditures of that body under the control of the Board of Esti mate and Apportionment and repeals all mandatory provisions for teachers' salaries. ' The other changes affect the tenure of the edu cational staff. For the bix-year term of the super vising force the charter substitutes practical life tenure and surrounds principals and teachers witn safeguards against arbitrary removal. It abrogates some autocratic functions of the city ■«P c "™ le "T ent. who may ignore the eligible lists, and although a principal or teacher has passed the highest exam ination for office may nevertheless select some per son not on the lists and bestow upon him the place earned by the recipient of the highest mark. It gives the Board of Education a free hand in the appointment of district superintendents from persons having the requisite qualifications. Instead of requiring it to appoint nominees of the city su perintendent. These are the important changes pro posed in the law. The arbitrary power of removal given to the Mayor Is a mistake, and it would be easy by a slight amendment to continue his present power of removal uji >n charges. Among opponents of the commission's plan has appeared Dr. Draper, Bute Commissioner of Edu cation Opposition froia, such a source merits re spectful consideration Briefly stated. Dr. Draper s argument is that education la a state function, that the members of the board are state officers, that the Constitution retires the Legislature, to pro vide for the maintenance and support of a system of free common schools, which it has done by con stituting "a local educational organization for every rod of its territory." and that the education laws of the state provide for the appointment of members of the Boatd of Education by the Mayor, not because he is Mayor, but in spite of that fact, and because he la the only general officer (whatever tl at may mean) upon whom it seems at all feasible to confer power of appointment." He is, therefore, opposed to the discontinuance of the board as a separate corporation and to the increased control which the commission would give the Board of Es tiinnt* and Apportionment over teachers' salaries. EDUCATION AR STATE FUNCTION. Education may be a state function, as Is police, fire or health, and the constitution may direct the Legislature to provide for the school system, but the vital question is. How shall the Legislature provide? May it directly appoint, or may it con fer the appointing power upon the Governor; or must it provide local machinery for the manage ment of the schools and confide their administra tion to the local authorities, subject to the states right of supervision and general regulation? This last, I think, is tha true theory of the constitutional provision. It is the only theory which harmonizes that provision, first rut Into the constitution la 1«»4, with another provision 'of the organic law which has been in 11 since IM6, and which declares thet all city, town and village ofri'-eru whose election or appointment is not provided for by the constitution shall b*» elected by the electors of such cities, towns and villacr-p. «r of some division thereof, or appointed by such authorities thereof as the Legislature shall designate for that purpoae School commissioners and members of boards of education must be elected by the people of the locality, or must be appointed by some local 1 authority. That the city cannot be deprived of the right •' selection of Its own board of educa tion and that the board need not be and was not ! originally a corporation may easily be established. The state took Its first step toward the estab lishment Of education In 1783. The common school fund rrc-ated in 1 795 waa by the constitu tion of 1^22 rendered Inviolable and directed to be devoted in perpetuity to the advancement oi the common schools. In June, 1 « 1 -. the Legis lature provided for the election In town meeting by the cltiaens of each town <>( three i-ornmls (.•lonei-M of education, to manage the concerns of the schools within the town, and Hi* persons, who, together with the commissioner*. should he in- Bpectora of schools, the functions Of the Inspec tors being to examine teachers, visit the m-hools and advise the trustees The school commission ers were authorized to divide their towns Into school districts, and the people of the districts were authorised to elect trustees In 1830 the Revised Statutes provided that at each annual town meeting three commissioners and three Inspectors of schools should be elected. In 1843 the offices of commissioners and Inspec tors were abolished, and the functions of both sets of officials devolved by law upon an elected "town superintendent of common schools." The duties of trustees of school districts were left unchanged. All these officers were and have al ways lieen local officers. This system did not originally apply to New York City, for until 1842 there, was no common school system in the city. The common school fund was apportioned among th« school districts In the following manner: It was paid by the state Controller upon the certifi cate of the state Superintendent of Education to the proper Oscnl officer of each county, who In turn was barged with the duty of paying to the school ! commissioners of each town the share allotted by the stßte Superintendent of Education to that town, and the school commissioners, whose busi ness It was to divide the town into school districts, were to apportion the share of the fund allotted to the town among such districts us had main tained ■ school for three months of the year. THIS CITY'S SYSTI M New York City having do public schools, part of the common school fund was for yean apportioned to the Public School Society, organised In UK The society's claim to participate In the fund was subsequent ly challenged by schools of the Roman Catholic faith, and the result was the establishment of tht; common school system of New York City upon the recommendation of Governor Seward. In his message. to the Legislature, in 1842, he said: Restore to the people of the city— I am sure the people of no other part of the state would upon any consideration relinquish the education of their children. For this purpo.se it la only necessary to vest th«" control of the common schools In a board to* be composed of commissioners elected by the people. The Legislature in 1812 extended the state com mon school system to the city Treating each city ward as analogous to a town, it gave each ward two school commissioners, two inspectors and five trustees, all to be elected by voters qualified to vote for charter officers. The commissioners were constituted a board of education with the powers and duties of commis sioners of common schools, throughout the state. Subsequent amendments merged the duties of commissioners with those of Inspectors, an 1 since 18S9 the Mayor has appointed members of the board, but do radical departure from the home rule prin ciple of the legislation of 1542 could constitutionally be made except to g've the Mayor or some other local authority pov. er to appoint the commissioners or members of the board. The act of 1842 did not make the board a corporation nor did the act of 1543 creating the Board of Education of Brooklyn confer corporate powers upon that board. The act of IMS recognised that the school com missioners were city officers, or officers of sub divisions of the city, and this legislation preceded the constitution Of 1840, which declared that all officers of the city or of sub-divisions thereof theretofore elected by the people should continue to be so elected or to be appointed by the local authorities as the Legislature might direct. Thus, when that constitution went Into effect, the people of the city bad the right to elect their school com missioner's. The constitution preserved the right, with the single exception that it permitted the Legislature to give their appointment to local au thorities. But the Legislature could not itself ap point or give that power to the Governor. Dr. Draper is, I think, In error in his assump tion that the laws of the state provide for the appointment of members of the Board of Education by the Mayor, because he is "the only general (?) officer upon whom it seems at all feasible to con fer the power of appointment," for the appointing power must be vested In a local officer, unless the people are to elect. It was held by the Court of Appeals in the matter of Gage (141 N. V., 112) that a school commissioner Ie a constitutional officer, elected by the people of his locality. The purpose of the constitution, according to Chief Judge Cul- I«n. in the People ex rel. Devery agt. Coler (ITS N. V., 115), "was to secure to the electors in locali ties the selection and choice, of their local officers, either Immediately by election or mediately through appointment by other local officers." Whatever may be the significance of the consti tutional provision conferring upon the Legislature the duty of providing for the maintenance and support of the common schools, that provision does not take away the right of local control over the administration of those schools through local se lection or election of their managers. EDUCATION A SEPARATE FUNCTION. The decision in the Gunnlson case, that the pol icy of the state from an early date has been to divorce the business of public education from all other municipal interests or business, and to take charge of It as a peculiar and separate function through agents of its own selection, and immedi ately subject and responsive to its own control, needs qualification. The Legislature, in providing for the school system, cannot deprive the people of the city of their constitutional right to manage their schools through their own local officers. The Board of Education of New York City never became a separate corporation until 1851. It was not a separate corporation between 1871 and 1873. There is nothing new in the proposition to take away Its separate corporate life. A similar pro posal was made in the charter drafted by the Committee of Seventy In 1872. and by the Charter Revision Commission of 1900. That there is noth ing sacred about the corporate character of the board Is shown in the Gunnison case, where it 19 stated that the Legislature might 'reduce the Board of Education to a mere city agency, Incapable of being impleaded In the courts" if such were Its in tention ; but the court in that case declared that it had not done so, because such an Intention "should have been expressed in language so clear that no doubt could arise as to this change of policy." It is this change of policy, or. rather, this return to the original policy, which the Charter Commission urges upon the Legislature. It will not seriously be argued that the constitu tion required the enactment of the Davis law, for If that were so, similar legislation should have been enacted to cover the rest of the state ; whereas the Davis law makes the situation of New York City a complete anomaly in education In this state. As Governor Hughes has well said, there is no reason why the principle of that law should be ap plied to teachers In New York City and not to those in Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo and elsewhere in the state. Not another city of this state is regard* <l as Incompetent to provide for its own teachers' salaries. There la no Board of Edu cation in Buffalo, but the Council has complete power to determine the educational policy, and the finances of the schools are absolutely in its hands. The charter of the former city of Brooklyn re quired the Board of Education to present annual estimates to the Common Council, and gave the Board of Estimate power "to estimate the amount required to be raised by law for all the city and count] purposes. Including th" moneys raised for the Board of Education." The estimated budget was then sent to the Common Council, which had power to reduce th* amounts fixed by the Board of Esti mate "for the said several City departments, offices and commissions, including th* Board of Educa tion." v. The Charter of the city or Buffalo places the compensation of teachers completely under the control of the City Council. The charter of the city 9 t Rochester practically leaves control of the sub ject to its Common Council, and the recent char ter of Binghamton requires estimates to be fur nished by the Board of Education to the Board Of Estimate and Apportionment of the s-alaritis of teachers, as of other educational expenditure*, and Klv«-s the Hoard of Estimate power to determine their amount .-*•..! l>je<-t only to possible i eduction ny the City Council. The charter of Syracuse Places the Board of Education In the inatM of all its expenses, Including teach. -rs' salaries, umler the domination of the city authorities. SALARIES ELSEWHERE. The city of New York seems a.one to be deemed Incompetent to treat Its teachen With sufficient liberality, although it I* ■ well known fact that i every year It pays to its teaching staff sums far beyond the requirements of tfce Uavia law. Looking abroad to other c!ti».-. tl will be found that the Board of Education 01 uniiiiuvie m^st submit un annual estmiait: to tin- i.-mvi ol c-.i tnatP, which may amend it In us ui&< ■ti I the i Itj Council may reduce but not inciea»« iv« figures of the Board of Estimate. In Hlllaueiuliia, Detroit, San Francisco ami other cities the city Council iix«-s the amount of appropriations i>>. teachers' .salaries. The commission believes that *fh< lent control over the Board of Education should he vested in the Hoard of Estimate, and that the mandatory require ments of the 1 '.i • Is law should be repealed.; It pre servt-s legislative supervision over education ami prohibits any change by the Council In the provi sions Of the charter or code which touch this im portant subject. The re.; ■.< lion in the size of the board and the changes designed to protect the educational stuff 1 have received support In many quarters and are ! believed to be In the Interest of th. schools. In the preparation of the educational chapter of the charter and the code the commission ha* sought to reflect the best educational sentiment, and, apart from Its proposed repeal of the Davis Inw. its edu cational chapters meet the approval of members of the existing Board of education, as well 'as of former honored members of that body. NEW CODE IS FIXISIIED. Charter Commission Makes Final Draft of Administrative Measure. At a meeting of the members of the New York Charter Conimlashw at the Far Association la-n night the final Ir.tft of the administrative code. which Is designed to supplement the revised charter already submitted to the Legislature, was i i gone over, and It is probable that the code will be presented t-> the Legislature in two or three days. All but two members of the commission were at the meeting, and the document only awaits their penMSal and signature before it i» submitted at Albany, it is now certain thai the code will be presented to the Legislature for its consideration before adjournment. In its completed form, after many revisions, the code will contain Ht«>nt 125,066 words, while the re vised charter it^eii contains about T". 1"1 "* 1 words. The two documents together are 70,036 words short of the present charter. APPEAL FOR CHARTER. Citizens Union Calls Upon Many Civic Organizations to Act. William Jay Schieffeiln. chairman Of the Citizens Union, yesterday sent to about two hundred and fifty civic organizations a letter calling for affirma tive action with reference to the adoption Of the proposed city charter. The letter says that not to enact at this session of the Legislature the substan tial portion of the proposed charter means to post pone for at least four years the reforms desired by civic organisations. Mr. Schleffelin says that some of the more Important features of the charter are the following: An administrative code so flexible as to secure a larger measure of home rule. A real municipal legislature, consisting of a small unsalaried council with large ordinance making powers, in place of the present Board of Aldermen.

PATTO.N'S HANDS Princeton Theological Students .You: Subject to Discipline for Complaint. {By Telegraph to The Tribune.] Princeton. X. J-, April 20.-Rumors which have been current here that a committee of UMaiaglcal students of the seminary would be expelled unless they apologized to the faculty for their procedure in recent appeals for revision of courses led to day to the issuance of a statement by President Krancis L. Patton. embodying the action of the board of directors in this respect at their meeting last Friday. While the word expulsion cr apology is not contained in the statement, it is understood that an "expression of regret 11 is expected by the fac ulty from the students. Just what will follow if the students refuse— and ringleaders declare they shall-can only be conjectured, for tt Is< well under stood that the president of the seminary has the right to expel any student guilty of insubordina tion at any time. The statement of Dr. Patton is in the form of an extract from the minutes of the board of directors. The extract queted by Dr. Pat ton Is as follows: The board of directors, having heard the com munication of certain students . of the seminan . places on record the following action: The board of directors calls attention to the fa..t that the immediate government of the seminary is in the hands of the faculty, and expresses its con fidence in the wisdom of the faculty to perform its duties. The board regrets that the students have presented their communication In such form ana manner, and It entertains the hope that the stu dents will express their regret to the president for their mistakes. The board hereby appoints- a com mittee of seven members, consisting of rive minis ters and two elders, to take these communications into consideration, confer with the. faculty, gather all possible information in regard to the present situation and then report to a meeting of the board to be called as soon as possible. Resolved. That the secretary of the board be, and hereby i*>, instructed to convey to the students the action of the board of directors in such man ner .is the facnity may deem best. Resolved That the board of directors requests the faculty to appoint a committee to co-operate with the said commUte 1 ( ? I^ O^; dd p ATT ON. * President of the Seminary. It was learned to-day that the students made ob jection that they could not hear Dr. Patton when he was expounding some point of theology, and he told them that it made little difference, because they were not able to understand him if they did. When Dr. Patton made his reply to the petition of the students they had a stenographer concealed in the room. His report was sent to the directors to back up their arguments. The directors considered this a malicious attempt to Injure Dr. Patton and it hurt the case of the students. . « WEDDINGS.
