Much Comment Regarding the Attitude of Tacoma Superintendent of School in Selecting Teacher. Tacoma, Wash. There has been much comment of late regarding the attitude of School Superintendent James in se lecting teachers. Some of those inter ested believe Mr. James is too fond of young and inexperienced women teach ers. The principals also have a griev ance. They seem to think Mr. James does not consult them sufficiently in making selections of teachers and in carrying out the school work. They held a meeting recently and notified the Su perintendent of their views, and he is understood to have replied that he had not intended to act without their advice. There is no doubt about the existence of dissatisfaction among interested persons as regards the present school manage ment. The opposition to the removalof Superintendent Gault still asserts itself, and Gauit's friends feel that the high standard of Tacoma public schools ex isting at the time of his resignation is not now being kept up. The principals' objections are being considered by the School Board. They oppose further re ductions in the salary of grade teachers on the statement that the Seattle prin cipals will do it, which statement they eay is erroneous. They oppose the al leged interference of Superintendent James in school work. When 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 School Directors to one for each ward is proposed. , ; , LAKE CANAL QUESTION. Offer of Fund to Dig It by the Brewing and Halting Company. Seattle, Wash. The Lake Washing ton canal matter again came up for dis cussion before the Chamber of Commerce at its meeting recently, and the offer made by the Seattle Brewing and Malt ing Company to give $30,000 in thirty monthly installments toward the work was discussed at some length. Some of the members were in favor of widening the present canal for the purpose of low ering the Jake, thinking that this was hardly the time to build a ship canal. Tlie ojrejy'Was made for a ship canal only, however, and others thought the work could be accomplished by home capital. The matter was referred to the permanent Lake Washington canal committee, con sisting of D. H. (iilman, S. L. Crawford, A. P. Mitten, George II. Heilbron and C. D. Stimson, with a request that they investigate and report promptly. A Bather Unexpected Order. : San Francisco, Cal.

Whitman county's slice of the State school fund is quite liberal, for its 8,412 children it receives $40,002. The Oakesdale Council is being ur gently petitioned not to reissue any liq uor licenses to the town's saloons. A survey is being made by a detail from Fort Walla Walla for an accurate contour map of the military reservation. Eeceiver M. A. Sawtelle of the Port Townsend National Bank has paid out the 30 per cent dividend authorized re cently by Comptroller of the Currency James ti. Eckels. D. A. Mitchell has sued the Tacoma Railroad and Motor Company for $5,000, as the result of iniuries sustained bv his little daughter, Edna, in an accident two years ago. , Fruit growers in the Walla Walla Val ley are a good deal worried at the pros nect for scarce heln in the picking spa son. J ew inquiries are being made lor situations. The Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union is preparing to build a flouring mill at some point in the raiouse coun try, having a daily capacity of 160 bar rels. The location is not yet decided upon, but it will be either Garfield, Pull man or Uakesdale. 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. ? f '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 is a step toward the reser vation of such beds. The Land Com missioners by law must receive applica tions from purchasers of tide lands, un 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-land appraisers nave urns tar neg lected their duty, which, if persisted in. may result in the loss of tide lands which should come within the reservation. Tacoma Total Sanctified Association, who went crazy recently, has been ad iudced insane, the examining Dhvsicians certifying that he was suffering from an acute mania caused by his attendance upon a religious society of Old Tacoma known as the " Sanctified." The physi cians predict more insanity cases from the same cause. There has been talk of riding Lambert on a rail since he has been locked up. Some of the old Ta coma residents are vigorous in their de nunciation of the sanctification follow ing. - It is understood that Rev. Mr. Gallagher, pastor of the Atkinson Me morial Church, whose wife was the or ganizer of the sanctification movement, will be separated from her. He claims there is o such thine as sanctification of the Wdy. i Oregon. The party that' recently went to the Bohemia mines country to search for the bodies of the two men who perished in that vicinity a few months since has been unable to find them, and intend returning, It is now the opinion that the bodies will not be recovered before the last of June, as the snow still lies on the ground from ten to twenty-five feet in depth. '' The Linn County National Bank, through the receiver. H. M. Beall. has brought an injunction suit against the city of Albany to restrain the city gov ernment from paying the city warrants. It is alleged that the city has been pay ing the policemen cash for city warrants of recent issue, and that the old war rants, some ot which are held by the bank, have not been paid, it will proD ably be made a test case. . Dunns the past few davs 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 may be due to the comparatively long spell of warm weather which has prevailed for a month past, or possibly the long-ex pected iour-year run nas maierianzea. The fishermen and others interested in the canning business are not, however, particular as to the cause of the plenti ful supply, and are happy in the knowl edge that all the boats are doing well. Four of Hapgood's men the other day caught exactly 2,000 "pounds of fish, or an average of about twenty each, and many other hauls equally large are re ported. Considerable excitement has been caused in the vicinity of Medford during the past few days by the result of a partial clean-up of the Miller placer mine, situ ated about five miles west of that city. This mine was recently purchased by Portland parties, and between $12,000 and $13,000 has been taken out as the result of the past winter's run. A par tial clean-up of the Sturgis mine, about iweive nines num luib cii-j, wmii wo finished last week, produced $30,000 in yellow metal for its owners. These mines are considered two of the best placer mines in Southern Oregon, and the re sult of the clean-up of both has been watched with interest by mining men all over the State. The Miller mine com- QftA a mA. a!1 f .IT 1 1 lull ia Mn(. I ered as good as that worked in the past, only two acres of which has been touched during the last eight years. The mine ' has been run with only one giant, and tire present company is making arrange- ' ments to put in two more giants, as there is plenty of water to run that number during the winter season. THE INDUSTRIALS; An Estimate of the Different Bands of Coxeyites. BIMETALLIC LEAGUE WANTS. It Passe Resolutions Against the Pres ent Currency System Favors Free Coinage of Silver and Gold. Washington, D. C. The Bimetallic League has considered the report of the Committee on Resolutions. As finally adopted they declare the league is unal terably opposed to the further issue of interest-bearing bonds ; that before cast ing their votes for Congressmen the members of the league will require as surance of adherence to the free coinage of silver and gold at 16 to 1 and a pledge that, if a bill providing for such coinage is passed by Congress and vetoed by the President, they will work and vote to pass it over the President s veto ; that. if -the election of President is thrown into the House, they will vote only for the person in favor of free coinage ; de nounce the present system of national banks as the monumental monopoly of the nineteenth century; recommend the enactment of a system of currency that will insure a per capita circulation of $60 to be made up by the free coinage of sil ver and gold at 16 to 1 and the issue of treasury notes ; assert that the discon tinuance of the issuance of silver money and the repletion of the treasury by bond issues is burdensome on the masses ; declare that it is the duty of the Secre tary of the Treasury to coin the bullion now in the treasury and to pay interest on the public debt with silver, and de mand the issue of $450,OOU,000 of non- interest notes of small denominations. Speech-making was the order of the day. Colonel Fiske of Denver advocated the building by the government of a rail road from Pittsburg to San Francisco, and later one to the South, as a means of assisting the people. The convention adjourned sine die. THE INDUSTRIALS. Careful Estimate of the Different Bands of Coxeyites on the 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 5,000 men tramping or riding on boats and borrowed trains toward the capital. Mr. Davis does not believe in the wisdom or efficiency ot tne move ment, and has written a magazine arti cle in which he points out that the 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 the ballot, which he defines as recorded opinion. No Coxeyites 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 of a goose. The chief danger from the movement, he thinks, will develop next fall, when the weather becomes too cold for men to camp outdoors. Then be looks tor trouble. BATTLE WITH OUTLAWS. Two Members of the Dalton Gang Taken by Surprise. El Reno, 0. T. Two men supposed to be members of the Dalton gang of train robbers passed through El Reno the other day, traveling eastward. The Sheriff telegraphed to the little town of Yukon to intercept and arrest them. A posse quickly organized, and when the train robbers made their appearance they were atacked. The defense was quite as hot as the attack, and a running fight ensued. One man, Mr. Farrish, was shot in the groin. The bullet passed entirely through him. He is not ex pected to live. An old man named Nel son was shot in the forehead, but not dangerously. A number of other per sons were wounded more or less severely during the skirmish, among them a man named Snvder, who was shot in the face and will die. One of the robbers was shot and captured, but resisted to the last, and several of his captors bear cuts and bruises on the head, which he made with his six-shooter. The other robber escaped, but is supposed to have been hit two or three times, one bullet taking away a portion of his lip and one strik ing him in the head. The one captured is not known here. The Loss at Wllliamsport. Williamsport, PA.-The total losses here as estimated by conservative men are $3,000,000. This includes $1,500,000 on logs, $250,000 on sawed lumber and the balance on property throughout the city. Mayor Elliott has calleda public meeting to take action looking to the care of the homeless. Probably fifty houses along the water front were ren dered uninhabitable, and the families are being cared for by the more fortu nate. It is estimated that the homes of 10,000 people were invaded by the water and are in such a damp and unhealthful condition as to make them undesirable. Those who lived above the flood line are not allowing the unfortunates to suffer. There is an ample supply of provisions, and the city is not in want. WASHINGTON CITY NEWS. The Senate Committee on Indian Af fairs has authorized a favorable report on Wolcott's bill for the opening to set tlement ot the Uintah and uncompah gre Indian reservations. The Secretary of the Interior has for warded to the War Department a re- quest that troops in New Mexico be di rected to arrest Navaio Indians, as a re port to the department says they are off tue reservation anu commuting deprecia tions. . The House Committee on Indian Af fairs has decided to grant the request of the Osage Indian delegation, which ap peared before it recently, to detach the Usage reservation from Oklahoma and attach it to the Indian Territory. An amendment to accomplish this will be proposed in the Indian appropriation bill. , :, The National League for the Protec tion of American Industries is opposing items oi tue xnuiaii appropriation uiii for the support of parochial schools, amounting to nearly $400,000. Among them are the St. uonilaee, .Banning, Ual., $12,500; Holy Family, Blackfoot, Mont., $12,500 ; St. Ignatius, Jocko, Mont., $45, 000; Kate Drexel, Umatilla, Or., $6,000. Representative Doolittle of Washing ton has introduced a bill to appropriate $100,000 for ascertaining the subterra nean water supplies in the States ' of Idaho, Montana, Washington and Ore gon lying east of the Cascade Mountains and ascertaining the localities at which artesian water can profitably be dug. It is proposed to have the work done by the geological survey. Representative Hermann has secured an opinion from the Attorney-General which declares that the President can release any portion of a forest reserve. The question was raised . in connection with the Bohemia mining district in the Cascade reserve. The land office has prepared a proclamation, to be submitted to the President, restoring several town ships in the mineral district. The Pres ident will sign the proclamation soon. Mr. Oathwaite's report on armor-plate investigation directs the Naval Commit tee to proceed immediately with the in vestigation. It is to cover all the work done by the Carnegie Company since its government contracts began. One thou sand dollars is available for the use of the committee in prosecuting its work. Power is given to summon witnesses, administer oaths and secure the produc tion of books and papers. The House adopted the report. . t Enloe has introduced a bill to repeal the civil service act. In the act creating the commission it is stipulated there shall be three Commissioners at certain fixed salaries, and this act still refnains in force. It was the intention of the House to make it ineffective, but thfc mere failure to appropriate money does not do so. The Commissioners conclud ed to perform their duties and appeal to the Court of Claims for the remunera tion fixed for their service by law. , . ' C. H. J. Taylor, the colored Kansas man over whose confirmation to be Re corder of Deeds for the District of Co lumbia there has been a spirited debate in the Senate, has been confirmed, the vote standing 34 to 15. There were no speeches made beyond a few remarks by Mr. Hill to the effect that the Demo-- cratic party platform on the subject of home rule should be observed. The di vision of the vote was not over party lines, but Taylor received a larger per centage of Republican votes than at first, seemed probable. y. Delegate Joseph of New Mexico has introduced a bill to authorize the explo ration and purchase of the mines within the boundaries of private land claims in all Western States. The bill, if enacted into law, would give any citizen of the United States qualified to make entries of public land a privilege of entering upon any territory embraced within any land claim confirmed by the Uourt of Private Land Claims and in taking up ft mineral claim. .Before making such claim the locator must tender the owner of the land $2.50 per acre for it. 1 Chairman Reilly of the House Com mittee on Pacific Railroads has intro duced a bill to amend the act creating an auditor of railroad accounts. It pro poses an improved system of bookkeep ing between the government and th0 railroads whichi have received govern ment aid and are under contract to per form services for the government in part payment therefor. He proposes that the railroads shall transmit to the Commis sioner of Railroads duplicates of all bills for services rendered the United States, and accounting officers of the govern ment shall notify the Commissioners of their action on all the bills. In the Senate Senator Walsh, referring to a dispatch from St. Paul saying the locomotive engineers had adopted a res olution condemning him for introducing a bill to punish with twenty years' im prisonment' the obstruction of trains carrying mails, said he had introduced no such bill. He had introduced a bill for the protection of the mail, but he had no intention of having it apply to engineers. He then introduced an amended bill, which provides that per sons robbing, attempting to rob or ma liciously obstructing trains shall be lia ble to a penalty of twenty years' im prisonment, 'i . Kyle has introduced a resolution in the Senate calling for non-intervention in Hawaiian affairs. It reads : That it is the sense of the Senate that the United States shall not use force for the purpose of restoring to the throne the deposed Queen of the Sandwich Islands, or for the purpose of destroying the ex isting government ; that, the provisional government having been duly recognized, the highest international interests re quire that it shall pursue its own line of policy ; that intervention in the political affairs of these islands by other govern ments will be regarded as an act un friendly to the government of the United States." - . - f ROSEBERY TALKS. Favors Limiting the Powers of House of Lords. THE FRENCH CABINET RESIGNS Resignation of the Ministry Regarded as a Move in the Interest of Premier Casimir-Perrier. 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 the adoption of the order of the day. The motion was rejected by a vote of 275 to 225. Premier Casimir-Perrier thereupon left for the Palais Bourbon. The Minis ters left the private room in which they had been conferring, and proceeded in a bodv to the Palais d'Elvsee and formallv 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 for rresident of the Kepublic. He is ap parently beincr abetted bv President Carnot, who thus has broken the pact entered into when 31. uasimir-ferner accepted the Premiership. . On that oc casion M. Carnot promised that he would not stand again for the Presidency, and that he would support in every way in his power the candidacy of M. Casimir Perrier, who thus would almost inevita bly become the President of the Re public. KOSEBERY'S SPEECH. He Favored a Great Limitation of the Powers of the 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 rerogatives ot the Lords. This would e in the interest not only of constitu tional legislation, but also in the interest of the Lords themselves. Joseph Cham berlain had been a great turncoat. Once he was an advocate of disestablishment, and was hostile to the Lords. Neverthe less he recentlv had made an animated defense of the Church of Scotland. The "Lords admired hia dexterity, but Mr. Chamberlain was not talking seri ously. His hostility was not serious, but the mere legerdemain of a wander ing rhetorician. Referring to the deser tion of the Welsh members of Parlia ment, Lord Rosebery said that the Welsh disestablishment bill would be passed before the government's appeal to the country. If the discontented Welshmen did not believe in the government's hon esty and honor, the sooner they carried their threats into execution the better. He never would consent to be a Minister on sufferance. 1 v AFFAIRS IN SAMOA. A Conflict Has Probably Occurred With the Rebels. AtCKiiAND,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 reb els were massed at Atua, the battlefield of 1888. A conflict between the rebels and the government troops was then probable at any hour. The King when the steamship arrived had given the Aana party until May 19 in which to submit. In event of their failure to do so the Savaii natives and a portion of the Tuamasaga natives were to attack them. The British warship Curaco and the Ger 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 case of emergency. The attitude of the rebels was defiant, and it is expected an engagement has been fought before now. i An African Treaty. New Yohk. 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 KiDg aban dons to England a small 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 basin and places the Congo Free State under the obligation of fight ing the Soudan Dervishes. SHOT BY TROOPS. Seven Anarchists Executed at Barce : lona, Spain. Barcelona. Codima, Cerezuela, So gas, Bernat, Viliaruba, V. X. Villarubia and Mir, the anarchists, were executed recently outside the citadel of Mons juich. Sogas and Cerezuela joined' in the prayers of the priest, but their com panions shouted revolutionary cries. The anarchists were placed in line with their faces to the wall of the citadel. At the first volley from the troops only four of the convicts fell dead, and a second vol ley was necessary to kill Sogas and Codima. JOHN SWINTON. He Hag Made His Mark as a Writer and a Man of Ideas. Very few people know where or when John Swinton was born. It is a fad of his not to tell, and none of the many scribes who have added salt to their porridgo by writing about him has ever been able to find out. A shrewd gucsser nominated Haddingtonshire, Scotland, as the place and the first year of tho third decado of the present century as tho approximate time, and for thoso who are curious in such matters this guess must suffice. It is moderately certain that his father was a j Scotchman who brought his family to America some time prior to 1845, settling in Illinois as one of tho pioneers of tho town of Warsaw, where he died. John learned typesetting in his youth and as a young man worked at that trade in many eastern, western and southern cities. He was a bookish sort of fellow, and desiring to fit himself for a literary career took a classical course at a Massachusetts seminary, intending afterward to go to Yale. His money ran out, however, and he went back to the printer's case, at which he worked for several years in the south and elsewhere. He was in Charleston when the free state war broke out in Kan sas, but he hastened west and joined the John Brown forces to fight against slavery. ' ' JOHN SWINTOX. He remained in Kansas until 1857, when he went to New York and entered a med ical college. While studying medicine he wrote several scientific articles for tho New York Times, on which paper ho ac cepted an editorial position and soon bo- , came managing editor under Henry J. Raymond. At the close of the war ho re signed the managing editorship on account of ill health, but continued to write edito rials for The Times until the death of Mr. Raymond. When Charles A. Dana bought the New York Sun, he made Mr. Swinton chief of the editorial staff, and in one ca pacity or another he has written for The Bun with more or less regularity ever since. For many years Mr. Swinton has been known as a radical, a socialist, a commu nist, and his speeches on sociological and economical topics, in which he presented the convictions he could not advocate with his pen in the papers for which he wroto, have been full of a vigorous fire all his" , own. But it has been his misfortune never to ho taken seriously in these matters, though no one ever doubted his sincerity, even when, to gain untrammcled utter ance, he started a weekly journal of his own, called John Swlnton's Paper, devot ed nominally, actually and honestly to the interests of the working classes. Though he gained a respectful hearing, he produced no permanent impression. When he had published the paper for four years and sunk in it the savi ngs of 25 years, said to amount . to $25,000, he was forced' to retire or run In debt, and tho latter he refused to do. How It Worked. A well known borrower, whose credit bad daily grown nearer the ground and. worn out in forty places, met an acquaint ance the other day on the steps of the city hall. "I say, Tom," he said, "lend me five dol lars for a minute or two. I'll give it right back to you." After some hesitation the money" was handed over and handed back promptly. Then the same performance was gone through with on one dollar, two, ten and twenty. . "That's all, thank you," said the bor rower, starting oft. "Hold on!" exclaimed the lender. "Tell meVvhat you mean by that monkey busi- lessf" "Oh, nothing much," was the reply; 'only it's been so long since I have been able to borrow anything under any circum stances that I was afraid I had lost my grip' entirely. Thank heaven I have some little credit left. Will you lend me a quarter until tomorrow?" His scheme was a success. Detroit a ree Press. ' i i . The Puritan Way. j The old Puritan way of dealing with de linquents is pretty nearly effaced in New England, where sinners have their way much as in other parts of the country. But a curious outcropping of the old sum mary manner was observed in Hingbam the other day. The oldest church in Hingham is known as The Old Ship. It is very smart looking for its years, and has a curious spire and weather vane, and on the ceiling beneath a mariner's compass painted with great exactness, the Old Ship is the center of interest to visitors, who wander about its well kept grounds and meditate in the old colonial graveyard, for except on Sunday the church is closed. - " But on the doors are nailed two long written statements. These are naturally taken by visitors for descriptive history of the building, and the eager visitors run to their perusal. On the contrary they find posted the names, with full descriptions. of delinquent pewholders and their ar rearages, is ewijorKiyening&un. , An Easy Way to Polish Finger Nail. "Polish your nails with your fingers,". says a manicure. "The friction of thai flesh and the little oil which exudes from the pores get up quickly a healthy circu lation beneath the nail, making it rosy, and fingers impart besides a better actual pol ish than the chamois rubber," -
