The Text Books.

The attorney general has rendered an
important opinion at the request of
State Superintendent Kiehle. It is to
the effect that boards of trustees have
authority to provide for introducing
free text books into their districts, even
though the people at school elections
vote against the measure. If the peo-
pie fail to vote funds for that purpose,
the trustees may, under the general
statutes, levy tax to provide the
books. Also that boards of trustees
may contract with publishers at lower
prices than those filed with the super
intendent of public instruction.

antagonists, and got out a warrant for
the arrest of the two men on the charge
of assault. Court Officer Thomas Elan
merry served the warrant. Murphy was
found in the Mississippi house and taken
into custody by the officer and Rich, but

phys accomplish heard the report and
rushed into the Office and persuaded the

Capitol Sites.

The capitol commission met and
opened bids for the new capitol site.
Four sites were offered. The bids
were:
w. F. Mason offered the greater part
of the south half of the block immedi-
ately north of the present capitol for
$175,OO0 From informal inquiry the
board learned that the remainder OF the
block could be secured for 1926, 600, maxi
ing the cost of the entire block $500, 900.
A tract Of over nine acres, bounded by
University and Park avenues, and Wa
basha and Cedar streets, was offered
for $3.50, 900. Not all the tract was Of
fered in the bid, but the board obtained
figures which made the cost of the
whole tract $3.50, 900.
The Bass Hill tract, comprising about
seven acres at the head of jackson
street, was offered for $l32, loco.
William Dawson offered the William
Lindelze estate and the Uri L. Lam
phrey property, comprising the block
Immediately north of Central park, for
$342, 900.
The commission visited the sites Of
fered. The conclusion arrived at was
that the prices asked were IS per cent
higher than their present value. 1t is
understood that this is owing TO the
fact that there will not be any money
available for the payment of the prop
erty purchased until way into 1887.
The commission appointed commit
tee to ascertain the cost of grading the
sites offered and then adjourned.

A CHECK ON PENSIONS.
The Present Bureau Authorities Make i

The Present Bureau Authorities Make 1t
More Difficult to Secure Pensions.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-An important
order revoking the celebrated com
pleted fled order of ex-CommisSioner
of Pensions Raum has been issued by
Commissioner Lochren. The order says
that hereafter all pending claims in
each case will be taken up for consid-
Grafton in the order in which the con
sidered evidence is filed, the object
aimed at being pra ctical return to the
method in vogue prior to 1889.
1t is calculated that under the new
administration check is going to be
given to the rapid growth of the pen
sion list without the assistance of any
legislation. When the pension appro-
priation bill was passed at the last ses-
sion of congress it was expected
that the amount appropriate ted
would be about S15, 600, 600 short
of the expenditures for the
fiscal year. 1t was anticipated
that deficiency of that amount would
have to be provided for at the coming
session. The average number of orig
ina1 pension cases passed on each month
is expected, however. to be about one
third what it was under the former adj
ministration of the office, and that, in
stead of deficiency, there will be a
surplus of about So. 600, 600.

WORLDS FAIR NEWS.


One Hundred Thousand Visitors Compelled
to Patronize the Outside Attractions.
CHICAGO, May 15--The worlds fair
would have had fully 100000 visitors
yesterday had the gates been open.
This was the estimate of Horace E.
Tucker, superintendent of admissions,
who declared that railways and cable
lines had brought at least that many
people into the immediate vicinity
of the fair during the day.
AS on last Sunday, the crowd was
forced to spill over into the side shows,
and the ossified family, the fortune
tellers, trick bicycle riders and other
attractions of q like intellectually
reaped enough money to make them
rich for year to come. Inside the
gates the work of installation and
the arrangement of the delayed exhib-
its went on as busily as ever. Mat
tiers are being very rapidly pushed into
shape these days, and it will not be
long before everything is corHplete.
Some exhibitors seem to think that the
fair is to last for several years, as they
keep sending their goods along in small
consignments, but those people are COM
paratively few, and the majority are
working desperately to have all ex-
hibits properly arranged.

THE TREASURY AL RIGHT.

Satisfactory Report of It's Present Condi-
ton Margin OF Free Gold.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-The treasury
situation shows decided improvement,
the receipts being larger than for last
year at this time, while the eXpendi-
lures, though large. are not so heavy
as was anticipated. Most of the heavy
disbursements for the month have al
ready been made, including IS, 900, 600 for
pensions and other heavy payments that
became due about the first. This reduced
the net balance to S22, $50, 900, but this
will from now on increase. The gold
in the treasury to-day is s203, O22, 6S4,
against which there are SlO3, 797, O1O
gold certificates outstanding, leaving
the net gold, usually denominated the
reserve 500, 225, 665. Offers for a
large amount from the west, which do
not appear on the books, make the gold
reserve intact and leave margin of
free gold of ST25, 900.

TO BE OPENED SUNDAYS.

A Scheme by Which the Difficulty is Over
come by the Worlds Fair Directors.
CHICAGO, May 13.-On and after May
81 the worlds fair grounds will be open
every Sunday.
This decision was reached at a meet
ing of the directors of the exposition
in the -McNa1ly building yesterday
afternoon. President Higinbotham had
called upon Edwin Walker, who is chair
man of the committee on legislation, to
submit an opinion whether or not the
exposition can be opened on the seventh
day in spite of the restriction placed
upon this feature by congress when the
appropriation of 81, 500, 600 was granted.
Mr.. Walker presented his official and
legal Interpretation before the direct
ors, which is to the effect that the law
passed by congress STIMULATING that the
exposition should be closed on Sunday
applies only to the buildings containing
exhibits.
Mr.. Walkers construction of the act
further says that the buildings erected
for other uses, the grounds, the Midway

rama and things pertaining thereto,
may be thrown open to public inspec-
ton.
After considerable discussion reso-
luton was proposed to open the gates
every Sunday on and after May 21, and
to close the main buildings containing
the exhibits.
The resolution was carried by a vote
of % to Z. OF the seven who voted nay,
six were in favor of opening the fair in
every department and the seventh was
opposed to opening the gates under
any conditions. The price of admission
on Sunday will be reduced to % cents.

CHINA AROUSED.
A Methodist Missionary Warns the
United States.
RETALIATION POSITIVELY ASSERTED.
Americans VIII be Deported If Unregis-
tered Cinnamon Are Shipped Home
-Registratfon Returns Up
to Date.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Rev. DIR. j. S.
Baldwin, for twenty-five years a
Methodist missionary in China and for
nearly quarter of a century secretary
of the missionary board of the Method
ist Episcopal church, which has large
moneyed interests in China, said yes
terday that he had positive informa-
ton from dignitaries of the Chinese
government and from his own Chinese
missionaries that if the Chinese eXclu-
sion act is carried into effect and
Chinese are shipped from this country
to China, deported simply because they
are here without having taken out GER
tificates, that Americans in China will
be likewise deported from that country
to the United States.
''If the law is declared constitutional
by the supreme court" he said, 81 an
ticipate that there will be speedy eX-
Odus both of missionaries and mer-
chants from China in retaliation for our
sending home Chinese from the United
States. Several years ago this course
was urged upon the Chinese government
by one of the censors who was support
ed in his memorial by a number of
prominent officials. Lii Hung Chang,
at present viceroy of Chun-Le and
Shang Tung provinces, the great states
man of China, whom Gen. Grant SO
heartily admired, has been very slow
to come to this view of the case
and very unwilling to relinquish his
marked friendship for the United
States. But there is strong ground for
believing that this great statesman has
at last come to the conclusion that the
only way to defend the honor and Dig
nifty of his own nation, in view of these
expected acts of oppressive legislation
on our part and in view of the failure of
diplomatic action to produce any rem
edy, is to enter upon course of re-
taliation and treat Americans in China
as Chinese are treated in America.
This is the most perilous time in the
relation of China to the United States
that has yet been encountered. 1t is
proba BILE that the Methodist church will
make an appeal to the Chinese authori-
ties in case the deportation is decided
upon in behalf of the Methodist mis-
sionaries now stationed in all Of the
provinces"
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Returns of
Chinese registration from thirty-five
out of the siXty-three internal districts
in the United States show that 3, 1859
Chinese have complied with the law.
The districts most densely populated
by Chinese have not yet made their re-
turns. It is estimated that there are
Ito, 900 Chinese in the United States.

A Charge That 1t Was Brought About By

A Charge That 1t Was Brought About by
New York Capitalists.
WASHINGTON, Nav I3.-Senor Don
Horacio Guzman, the Nicaraguan min
lister in Washington since July, 1887,
and man of unquestioned standing in
the diplomatic corps, inguist, and
well and thoroughly posted on inter
national affairs, declared last night
that the Nicaraguan revolution had
been principally instigated by residents
of New York city who possessed large
capital and We're financially interested
in affairs in Nicaragua His DECLARE
ton has excited wide attention, both in
diplomatic circles and elsewhere. The
interest is enhanced by his promise that
he would make the names of persons he
referred to public at a later day.
The charge is of so serious a char
acter that coming from a diplomat of
standing it will not be allowed to rest.
1t, of course, involves considerations of
an international character as affecting
the obligations of Nicaragua held in
Europe and connected with the canal
question and international guarantees
The Nicaraguan minister was one OF
the earliest callers at the state depart
ment to-day and had an interview with
Secretary Gresham, the result of which
has not been disclosed.
Senior Rokan Mayorga, who was for
merly secretary of the Nicaraguan lega-
ton, is in the city with his wife. He
has received dispatches from a member
OF his family setting forth the results
of the revolution. practically the same
as announced yesterday. Senior Mayor
ga contradicted the statement of DIR
Guzman that the revolution was in
cited and supported by New York
capitalists. He said that the canal
project was supported by the
revolutionists as well as by the govern
ment that had been overthrown: that
all Nicaraguans of any prominence, no
matter to what party they belonged,
realized that the completion of the in
ternational canal was their life as q
people, and he was greatly surprised at
the present attitude of the minister,
especially as he had formerly been one
of the strongest supporters of the
canal
