Public School Laws.

The following is self-explanatory:
Hon. Amado Chaves, Superintendent Pub
lie Instruction, Santa Fe.
Dear Sir: In reply to your several in
quiries, would answer as follows: In a
county where there are thirty three school
districtsin operation and four more have
been established but failed to comply with
the law last year, but will be revived dur
ing the present year and put in operation
you ask whether the salary of the superin-
tendent shall be based upon the former
or the latter number. The law is very
plain as found in chapter n, pages 1878,
Session Laws of 1891, viz: That such
compensation shall be made according to
the number of school districts as they
exist at the commencement of the terms
of Office of the several superintendent.
This means actual school districts fully
established and in operation and it is
upon that basis that the superintendent
accepts the Office.
the law with reference to school boards
drawing the warrants on treasurer; sec
ton % of chapter rs, Session Laws of
1891 is still in force. The restriction on
drawing warrants is only that it shall not
be in excess of the amount of levy for
one year and does not say that warrants
shall not be drawn on the treasurer when
there were no funds. It contemplates
the fact that the amount of funds will not
reach in many cases the amount of levy.
In regard to the power of county
superintendent to change the boundaries
or combine school districts, would say
that section 18 of the last quoted law
expressly prohibits the changing of the
boundaries of any district except on pc
tition of majority of electors residing
therein, and combining or consolidating
district with another is, I think, the
same as changing the boundaries.
In regard to who is the proper. person
to bring suit against defaulting county
treasurer on his bond for the school fund
l would say that depends to whom the
bond runs. Section 20 of tho last quoted
law provides for the giving of the bond
of not less than $4,000, but it does not
state who shall be the obligee. But in
the absence of anything to the contrary
the suit should be brought in the name
of the county superintendent of schools
under the general-po conferred upon
him by section ~ Of the act, and tor the
benefit of the school fund of the county.
If the bond runs to the county, the board
OF county commissioners should bring
the suit, and if to the territory, it should
be the plaintiff; all for the benefit of the
school fund of the county. And it is the
duty of the district attorney to bring
such suit without expense. 1t is very
unfortunate that there is no criminal
liability attaching to such cases as there
is provided for in the case of defaulting
collector; a matter which I would suggest
that you bring to the attention of the
next legislature. Yours respectfully,
EDWARD L. BARTLETT,
Solicitor General of New Mexico.

A silver Compromise.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, April -. - Senator
Allison says the coming monetary con-
ference will bring about an enlarged use Of
silver. The European nations participant
ing will use silver for subsidiary coin,
retiring the smaller gold coil and issue
certificates on bullion purchases. Con.
gress the next session will modify the
tariff, but will not adopt revenue tariff,
for that would drive out gold and bring
the country to a silver basis. The session
will be notable for tariff and currency
debates. These subjects will be con-
sidered in their relations to each other.
No free coinage bill will pass, but meas
ure for the larger use Of silver, based on
the recommendation of the coming con.
ference, will be adopted If the silver men
will consent to it as temporary COM
promise.

Great Irrigation scheme.

MArAMoRAs, Mexico, April 12.-Santi-
ago Seguin, wealthy citizen Of Camargo,
Mexico, has an extensive scheme on foot
to irrigate the valley of the Rio Grande
river between this city and Camargo,
distance Of $50 miles. Some time ago
Mr.. Seguin applied to the Mexican gov
ernment for concession to irrigate tho
valley of San Juan river, which flows by
Camargo and empties into the Rio
Grande. Government engineers were
sent down and their report was very
favorable to Mr.. Seguin's plans, which,
they say, are perfectly feasible. A stock
company has been lately organized in
the city of Mexico with sufficient capital
to carry on the enterprise. If the pro-
ject is success it will open over 1,00O,-
600 acres of the richest land in Mexico.

China and the Gearv Act.

It was stated sometime ago that the
government of China had notified our
government that if the Geary law, requir-
ing Cinnamon to take out certificates Of
registration, vas enforced diplomatic and
commercial relations between the United
States and China would be suspended. 1t
is stated that a new Chinese minister is
now on his way 10 Washington who. it
seems TO be understood, is authorized to
ask for a new treaty between the two
countries. The main reason for new
treaty is said to be q desire to have the
IMMIGRANT question placed upon more
satisfactory basis.
The state department gives out no in
formation as to the purpose Of the Chinese
government in changing It's minister at
Washington, but it has been incidentally
mentioned by some OF the state depart.
ment officials that by means OF a treaty
the President, with the aid of the senate
could nullify the Geay law. The CON
sent of the house to the treaty would not
havo TO be asked.
1t does not appear however, that the
President is especially anxious to nullify
that law. He has not enforced it for the
very good reason that congress has made
no appropriation to enable him to do so.
Only few Cinnamon have taken ont
certificates under the law, and IL seems
that it is the intention of great MAORI
ty of them not to DO so. The President
has been criticised TO some extent for not
enforcing the law, but there is very little
public feeling in respect to the matter,
because the fact that it is not in the power
of the President to enforce it is very gen
orally recognized.
The amount Of money in the treasury
that could be applied to deporting Chi
nese is only a few thousand dollars. 1t is
not sufficient to pay the passage of more
thar a hundred or two Cinnamon to
China. That being the case, it would be
folly for the President to begin deporting
Chinese. He has wisely concluded to wait
until congress makes an appropriation for
the enforcement of the law. If the money
should not be appropriated, it would be
generally understood that congress re
CARDS the law directing Cinnamon who
have moi registered to be sent to their
native land a mistake What congress
will do cannot be predicted with any de
gree of certainty; but there seems to be a
| pretty strong impression that it will not
/ provide the means for enforcing the law.
In that case, there would be no necessity
/ fer new treaty, because the law would
be dead letter.

The Game To-day.

Nashville plays her last game of the
present series to-day, and it is hoped a
larger crowd will be in attendance, as
they will have in their star pitcher, HOf-
fer. Hoffer0 is one of the best men in
the league, and he and Somers form a
great battery. Meal1im and Hurley will
occupy the points for the home team.
Connaughton will play second instead of
Manning, who left last night for Augusta
to attend the league meeting.
Sullivan has jewel in Boland. He is a
good hitter and a most excellent fielder.
Petty came pretty near putting the
ball over the center field fence yesterday.
Nashville is in badly crippled condi-
ton. O'Brien is sick and Lucid has
"Charly horse" consequently he has to

and catcher in the outfield.

oUrPLAYED AT ALL POINTS.
Savannah Defeats the NashvllIeTigeri
ARain l 3 to 3.

Savannah outplayed Nashville at all
points yesterday, defeating the Tigers
with ease in a one-sided and uninterest-
ing game ID to l.
Handsome Jack keenan, was again put
in to pitch for the Tigers, and was hit
even harder than Thursday. His pitch
ing was just what the locals liked. and
they showed their approval by hitting the
ball all over the field, for twenty hits
with total of twenty-five bases.
Petty was in fine feather but did not
exert himself, allowing the visitors
twelve hits which were so scattered as
to be reproductive of runs, except in the
seventh, when three successive single
nettcd them their only run of the game.
ConnaughtOn and SOmers did good
work behind the bat, but Connaughton
had more opportunities to distinguish
himself than the Nashville man. Con-
naughton accepted twelve chances with
out an error, made three hits, one a
two-bagger, and stole two bases
Boland in left, Newman at first and
Miller at short, carried off the fielding
honOrS for the visitors, while Newman's
balling was also worthy of special men
ton.
Savannah played an excellent fielding
game, not an error being charged against
them.
AN EASY FIELDING JOB.
Raedy, who played in right field for the
visitors, had nothing to co in his garden,
but failed to connect safely with any of
Petty's drops and shoots.
Savannah scored twice in the second
inning on Nichols single, passed ball
and two baggers by Petty and Manning
The locals added four more in the
fourth on six singles and a double The
batting in this inning was something ter
rife, but keenan, remained in the box and
pitched a strong game in the face of the
heavy stick work of Manniug's men.
Savannah scored again in the fifth on
Connaughton's hit, two steals and Pet
tvs sacrifice.
Manning's men again pounded the ball
in the sixth, making two singles and two
two-baggers, which Melted them three
earned runs.
The seventh and eighth resulted in
blanks for the locals
Savannah ran her total up to thirteen
