arms, should Russis manage to bring
Turkey to terms by direct negotiations.

UNCLE JOE sEIFEBT AND DR.. BUNKER.
Another meeting was held to- day at
the Courthouse.
The insurance bids were all rejected
or put of until next Monday.
sMr. Seifert, who presided at the meet
ment in one Of the papers to-day in re-
gard to the reduction Of salaries.
He stated that he always used his
own Judgment in voting for any ques-
tiJn tnat came up in the meetings Of the
Board.
AS to the statement by DIR. Bunker
that the Board had no right to cut down
his salary as Superintendent from SO, 800
to $4,000, Uncle Joe Seifert remarked
thai he thought The Board had a right to
do 80.
D.. Bunker thought otherwise, and
said that he was backed up by legal
opinion
The President wanted to know wheth-
er he, Dr.. Bunker, intended to sue the
Board for the recovery Of the reduced
amount.
Dr.. Bunker said he had never made
such remarks to any Of the Board. He
refused TO state whether he had done so
to any private Individual. He said that
his salary was fixed at a certain amount,
and the Board oolld not cut it down at
their pleasure.
The Board then wanted to know
whether the Doctor was going to insist
on his "Eick" against the reduction. DR..
Bunker again refused to inform the
Board, and then Uncle Joe got on his
dignity, walked through the room and
made a harangue concerning his hon
esty, past life, &C., and finally, to get
rid Of the subject, inquired whether
there was any other matter before the
Board.
Doctor Carey then moved that the
Board adjourn until 2 O'Clock P. M.
Monday to the Board of Control room.
This ended the big fight, and the circus
closed.
