of School Superintendent Jameg in te

ance, They teem to think Mr. Jamea
doei not consult thera ofllclently in
making folectioni of teacheri and in
carrying out the school work. They held
a meeting recently and notified the Su

understood lo have replied that he had
not Intended to act without their advice,
There ia no doubt about the existence of
dissatisfaction among interested persons
as regards the present school manage
ment. The opposition to the removal of
Mipenntenuent uauit sun asserts itsell,
and (lault's friends feel that the high
standard, ol lacoma nnniic schools ex
Is ting at the time of bis resignation is
not now being kept dd. The principals1
objections are being considered by the
School Board. They oppose further re
ductions in the salary of grade teachers
on the statement that tne Seattle nrin
cipals will do it, which statement they
say is erroneous. They oppose the al
leged interference of Superintendent
James in school work. hen this mat
ter takes form before the public it will
create a lively discussion. In order to
secure a change of policy an increase of

I.AKK CANAL QVKSTION.
OfTer of Fond, to lllg It by lha Brewing
and Malt lug Coiuitanjr.
Seattle, Wash The Lake Washing
ton canal tnntter again came np for dis
cussion before the Chamber of Commerce
at its meeting recently, and the offer
nade by the Seattle Brewing and Malt
ing Company to give 130,000 in thirty
monthly installments toward the wort
was discussed at some length. Some oi
the membsrs were in favor of widening
the present canal for the purpose of low
ering the lake, thinking that this was
hardly the time to Innld a ship canal.
The offer was made for a shin canal only,
however, and others thought the work
could be arcompliahed bv home canital.
The matter was referred to the permanent
lake Washington canal committee, con
sisting of D. 11. Uilman. 8. 1.. Crawford,
A. P. Mitten, George. H. Heilhroir and
C. I). Stimson, with a request that they
investigate and report promptly.

Nevada, the only State building on the
grounds, to come into (ull competition for
tne award.
About the Chinese. . ,
San Fbancisco, Cai,. A gigantic fraud
has been unearthed in the hall of rec
ords in this city,- which may lead to the
frustration of a clever scheme to land
foreign-born Chinese. The records of
the health department have been inter
lined in several hundred instances, each
attesting the birth of a Chinese. By
this means foreign-born Chinese have
obtained birth certificates, which they
think will entitle them to residence un
der the Gearv act. The false entrina am
dated aa far back aa 1807.

other appeal to be decided, but the .at

will be in her favor that thev renard the
matter as practically settled.

The Farmers' Alliance and Industrial
Union is preparing to build a flouring
mill at some point in the Palouse coun
try, having a daily capacity of 150 bar
rels. The location is not yet decided
upon, but it will be either Garfield, Pull
man or Oakesdale. They have a propo
sition from a Minneapolis firm to put in
the machinery, the Alliance to furnish
the building for $12,000 in three equal
annual payments. It is hoped to pro
cure a bonus from one of three towns
mentioned to assist in making the first
payment.
The Secretary of the State Land Com
mission has been instructed to notify
the local tide-land appraisers of Mason
county that In compliance with the de
cision of the Supreme Court in Smith vs.
Forrest the board must proceed immedi
ately to survey and plat natural oyster
beds. This ia a step toward the reser
vation of such beds. The Tjind Com
missioners by law must receive applica
tions from purchasers of tide lands, art
less the same are shown to be natural
oyster beds, and plats filed by local tide-
land appraisers are only evidence to
prove the status of all such lands. Local
tide-laud appraisers have thus far neg
lected their duty, which, if persisted in,
may result in the loss of tide lands which
should come within the reservation.

TWIno thn rtiutt few days there has
been a marked improvement in the run
of salmon, and the average catch per
boat Is much above the average at this
season of the year. This fact maybe!
due to the comparatively long spell of
warm weather which has prevailed for a
month past, or possibly the long-expected
four-year run hat materialized.
The fishermen and others interested in
the canning business are not, however,
particular as to the cause of the plenti

THE INDC8TBIA1S.
Careful Estimate of the Different Bands
of Coxeyltes on tbe Way.
Washington, D. C Representative
Davis and H. E. Taubeneck have been
making a careful estimate of the differ
ent bands of Coxeyites on the way to
Washington City, and claim that there
are 6,010 men tramping or riding on
boats and borrowed trains toward the
capital. Mr. Davis does not believe in
the wisdom or efficiency of the move
ment, and has written a magazine arti
cle in which he points out that tbe move
ment is a result of currency contraction
and summarized it as " organized want."
If the government should yield to Cox
ey's demands, other armies would march
on the capital with other demands, and
the result would be government by the
multitude. The remedy for the present
state of business he finds in tbe ballot.
which he defines as recorded opinion.
"NoCoxeyites have come from Kansas,"
he said in a conversation on the subject,
" because Kansas has expressed herself
properly by her elections, and Nebraska,
which is largely a Populist State, has
contributed no more than seventy-five
men." By imprisoning the leaders, he
says.
the authorities have made a swan
out ol a goose. The chief danger Irom
the movement, he thinks, will develop
next fall, when the weather become, too
cold for men to camp outdoors. Then

The question of whether the Makha

Its Resignation.
CASIMIE-PEEEIEB'S FOXY MOVE.
The Beslgnallon of the Minister, re

Premier for Prealdent In the Coming
Election In That Republic.
Paris. In the Chamber of Deputies
during the debate of the question
whether the Minister of Public Works
had authority to allow employes of State
railroads to attend the congress of rail
road men the Premier demanded tbe
adoption of the order of the day. The
motion was rejected" by a vote of 275 to
225. Premier Casimir-Ferrier thereupon
left for the Palais Bourbon. Tbe Minis
ters left the private room in which they
had been conferring, and proceeded in a
bodv to the Palais d'Elysee and formally
tendered their resignations to President
Carnot. The attitude of Premier Casi-mir-Perrier
tends to confirm the most
general belief that he rode for a fall in
this contest, as he seemed to do in the
recent Toussaint debate, under the in
fluence of the approaching election fori
President of the Repnblic, He is ap-l
parently being abetted by President
Carnot, who thus has broken the pact
entered into when M. Casimir-Perrier
accepted the Premiership. On that oc
casion M. Carnot promised that he would
not stand again for the Presidency, and
that he wonld support in every way in
his power the candidacy of M. Casimir-

BOSEBEBT'8 SPEECH. .
Be Favored n Greet Limitation of the
Powers of tha Lords.
London. Lord Rosebery spoke the
other evening in Birmingham to the
meeting which had just inaugurated the
Midland Liberal Federation. He hoped
that the Liberal conference In Leeds, he
said, would speak emphatically in favor
of a great limitation of the powers and
prerogatives of tbe Lords. This wonld
be in tlie interest not only of constitu
tional lesislation.bnt also in the interest
of the Lords themselves. Joseph Cham
berlain had been a great turncoat, unce
be was an advocate of disestablishment,
and was hostile to the Lords.- Never! he
less he recently had made an animated
defense of . the Church of Scotland.
The Lords admired his dexterity, bnt
Mr. Chamberlain was not talking seri
ously. Hit hostility was not serions,
but the mere legerdemain of a wander
ing rhetorician. Referring to the deser
tion of the Welsh mem tiers of Parlia
ment, Lord Rosebery said that the Welsh
disestablishment bill wonld 1 pa"w-l
before the government's appeal lo tbe
rwintrv. If the discontented Welshmen
did not believe in the governments hon
esty and honor, tbe sooner they carried
their threats into execution the better,
lie never wouid consent to be a Minister
on tutlerance. ,
AFFAIBS IX SAMOA.
A Conflict Has Probably Occurred With
the Rebels.
Auckland, New Zealand. The steam
ship Monowai from Samoa May 17 brings
important news. When she sailed a
large portion of the government's army
had been sent to the front, and the reh-
els were massed at Atua, the battlefield
of 18S8. A conflict between the relwls
and tlie government troops was then
probable at any hour. The King when
the .steamship arrived had given the
Aana party until Mav 19 in which to
submit. Ia event of their failure to do
so the Savaii natives and a portion of the
Tuamasaira natives were to attack them.
Tlie British warship Curaco and the tier
man warships Buzzard and Falke were
at Apia. It was understood, however,
the commanders of these vessels were
without orders from their governments
as to how to act in rase of emergency.
The attitude of the rebels was defiant,
and it is expected an engagement has
been fought before now.

recently outside the citadel of Mons

ley was necessary to kill Sogas and Co

- . - An African Treaty. .
Nsw York. The Herald's Brussels
dispatch says that a treaty concerning
the Congo Free State has been concluded
between King Leopold and the British
Minister to Belgium. ' The King aban
dons to England a email strip of terri
tory in the region of the Upper Congo,
thus giving England access northward
to the Nile. In exchange England grants
the King until the end of his reign the
left bank of the Nile up to the 17th de
gree. This is considered the best African
treaty concluded for many years, and is
a master-stroke of diplomacy on the part
of the King, as it shuts out the French
from the new Win and places the Congo
Free State nnder the obligation of fight
ing the Soudan Dervishes.
, Treaty Bight, Infringed.
Pabis. M. de l'Oniel hss announced
his intention of introducing into tbe
Chamber of Deputies tbe question of the
British treaties with China, Italy and
Belgium, alleging thev are a violation oi
the French rights and existing treaties.
I.e Temps Bays it is not so mnch the
Anglo-Congo treaty as the fact that Eng
land wishes to establish a butler State
lietween the eventual possessions of
France and Great Britain in Central Af
rica, following the example ot the Siam
ese buffer State. According to Le Temps
there is danger also that England will
ultimately absorb the Upper Kile region.
