SOUTH. Main 2013 Adverti«ing— Suhicri pilous— 2790- j— t. A meeting of the board of education will be held at 3 o'clock this afternoon at which It Is expected that City Attor ney Healy will give formal notice of his intention to commence mandamus pro ceedings against the county auditor to compel him to extend the nine-tenth tax levy on the rolls. Ever since the decision of the supreme court which knocked out the special act relative to the levy for the St. Paul schools there has existed considerable doubt as to the validity of the law authorizing the levy in Minne apolis. The auditor has refused to spread It on the books, and the present proceed ings are brought with the view of se curing a legal opinion in the matter. The committee on buildings met yester day afternoon and heard the explana tion of J. A. Nordeen, contractor for the Emerson and Sumner schools, as to the cause of the delay in completing the work en the buildings. The juvenile population of Kenwood and a goodly proportion of the grown up folks, for that matter, are more or less agitated over the suspension of a small boy named Earl Lane from the Douglas school. One day last week a window of the school was broken, and, whether wrongfully or not, young Lane was se lected by Miss Whitmore, the principal, as the offender. Lane was suspended from school until such time as he paid the cost of the light, which was placed at $1. M. The boy's parents object, as the boy and a number of his companions say that he did not break the glass. The matter was taken before Supt. Jordan, but as the action of the teacher is sustained by the latter the parents of the boy have decided to bring it before the board of education. CITY HALL TOO SMALL.

Church Relations With France In the CnuMe. ROME, Nov. 27.—The chief preoccu pation at the Vatican at the present mo ment is the question of the relations with France. At the apostolic palace there is a firm belief that the French i chamber will maintain the embassy to j the holy hee, for It is to the interest ; of France to do so, but there is much ] anxiety in regard to the other mat- j ; ters. "You see to what we have come," said a prelate to one who is in touch with the Vatican and expresses its anxieties. I "The budget committee has reported for | j the suppression of seven bishoprics, and i the salaries of 700 vicars. The govern ment Is preparing a bill directed against associations, the objective of which is 1 especially the religious congregation. It ■ has adopted a bill almost entirely sup- i pressing free secondary education, mas- '■ ' much as it compels officials of state to pass at hast three months in official sec ; ondary schools. Since the times of Jules Ferry there has not been such an out , break of hostility to the church." At the next consistory v.i<; pope will preconize a certain number of French bishops. One nomination, which is of every importance and is announced as certain, is that of Mgr. Fuzet at Rouen. Mgr. Fuzet is one of the most respected ■ men in France. Certain papers have j even asserted that he is affiliated to Free j masonry. His promotion to the see of , Rouen, accepted by the holy see, is a reward of his devotion to the republic.
