TACOMA TEACHERS SALARIES.
The Public Not in sympathy With
scheme to Reduce Thorn.

TACOMA, June 1s.-TSpecial.l Much
sympathy has been aroused here for the
public school teachers in their
efforts to have continued the sal
airy rule established some years
ago, and which provides for a $50
yearly increase from the minimum
monthly salary of s65 for inexperi-
enced teachers and s75 fer experienced
teachers. until the maximum salary
of $3.50 per annum is reached. A numer-
ousiy signed petition has been presented
the school board and referred to committee.
President Orno Strong. of the board, was
today asked for an explanation of the
matter. He said:
1t is untrue that we propose to cut the
total amount paid for teachers or
secure cheap teachers. At present the
salary rule rules, good teacher receiving
no more than the inferior teacher, and the
teacher doing the greater amount OF work be-
ing paid the same salary as the one perform
ing less arduous work. superintendent
Gault admits the truth OF this.
Now, propose to pay teachers
according TO the work done, believing that those
in the primary department who teach in the first
seven grades do not earn much rs those who
work in the eighth grade and prepare scholars
for the high school. The petition for the old
rule amounts to nothing, as the teachers have
accepted our proposition to continue to teach
for the sanlo salary they received during the
past term

The Imprisonment of Ravachol,


I will touch upon the facts relating to
Ravachol's recent removal from Paris
to Saint Etienne and the condi-
tons under which he is at pres
emit incarcerated at that place. The
news of his intended removal to st. Ell
enne was kept strictly secret and even the
director of the prison of the Conciergerie,
where he was confined in Paris, was not
notified OF the intention to remove the
prisoner until about an hour prior to the
commencement of the journey. He was
placed in special carriage designed for
such purposes and driven to the depot in
charge Of three wardens of the Concier-
gere prison. The hour chosen was about
1880 n. IA, and the party took their seats
in train upon which detachment of
marine infantry were being conveyed to
Toulon en- route to Tonquin. At Chateau
creux the cellular prison car was detached
from the train and switched off to Belle
vue, station III the vicinity of St Eth
enne, reaching there about 4 a. m. Raya-
chol had up to this time preserved
a stoliGiy tranquil countenance, but
while descending the steps leading
to the waiting room. finding himself
confronted by crowd of curious
sight-seers-for the news of his arrival had
in some way leaked out-he cried in a
loud, strong voice: ''Nive la revolution
sociale" Proceeding onward to the steps
he cried: Il am NOT yet deadr" When
getting into the prison van he muttered:
The prospect Of death does not brighten
mel"
The prison itself is only 800 or 400 meters
from the Bellevue depot, and before its I'M

posted, while several mounted gendarmes
kept back the crowd of citizens who had
assembled to look on. The architectural
arrangements of this prison are such that

surveillance of two warders, who will
never leave him until ne is sent to court

SNoHoMIsH. June IS Special. This
city was well over the smallpox scare yes
terday, but this morning it was discovered
that two new cases had appeared. One
was Willie Jackson, messenger boy IN
the employ of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany, and who, it is supposed, contracted
the disease from the company's
lineman who was the first victim here.
The other was man named
Chisholm, who came from Seattle two
days ago. Considerable excitement was
created temporarily, from the fact that
Willie Jackson's sister, who has nursed
him two days, works in the auditors
Office, and it was feared the disease
might spread there, but it is
thought there is no danger. The
court term has been postponed to the 9th.
1t will probably be further postponed and
the public schools will probably not re-
open Monday. All possible precautionary
measures will be employed by the city au-
thorities to prevent further spread.

that after home rule had been gained for
Ireland advantage had been taken of this
fact to establish a Catholic church in this
country.

Ex-Governor Campbell, of Ohio, arrived
tonight, and when questioned as to the
situation in the Ohio delegation said one
third of the delegation here was foi Cleve-
land to the death, one-third favors him If
New York will support him and one-third
is against him. The subject of a favorite
son is not to be discussed unless Cleveland
is beaten.
Ex-Secretary Whitney, in an interview
OF some length, stated that the opposition
to Cleveland is not so much opposition to
the ex-president as it is to the independ-
ent vote that follows him. He thinks
grave injustice is done in Identify
ing Cleveland with Mugwump methods, as
though he was not good party man.
Whitney cited figures to show that the
vote for Cleveland had steadily increased
each time from 1852 to 1888, and that Hill
got less votes than Cleveland, Cook or
Jones when On the ticket with either.
rumor was current early this evening
that Senator Hill had arrived in the city
on the train which was due at $50, but
was several hours late. His friends, how
ever. scout the idea, and say he is not
coming. Hills silver bombshell, if that
was what his Topeka letter was intended
to be, did not exactly startle any element
of the Democracy in Chicago. The opin-
ion was general that the publication of the
letter at this time, just before the assem-
bling of the convention, was, if not di-
rectly prompted by the senator. at least
with his full knowledge and consent. There
was unanimity as to one phase of
the matter, that the object was to
help Hill with Western and Southern
votes. Cleveland's friends were inclined
to treat the letter scornfully. Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan, at Tammany head
quarters, was extremely cautious in dis
cussion of the letter. Sheehan de-
clined even to 30 far commit him
self as to express an opinion whether
or not it would gain Hill any votes in
the convention. At the silver headquar-
tiers the reading of the letter caused
elation. National Committeeman Thomas,
of Denver, says it goes further than any
thing yet said by any presidential as
pirant, and makes it more certain than
ever that Colorado's votes, at least, will
not go to Cleveland.
