lie schools out to Leon Springs on the
line of this road, at round trip rate of
80 cents for children and GO cents for
adults.
Considering the high rate charged as
against the lower rate offered certain
church schools and the fact that q great
deal of danger would attend the tranSpor-
tation of such large mass of children as
the public schools could turn out, the offer
was declined with thanks.
Nothing of great Importance followed
this business, except the reinstatement of
boy who had thrice been suspended
from school for i'll behavior

The Disagreeable Question.

The passage of Alderman Sinners reso-
luton to discontinue the use of the sewer
from the City hospital to the San Pedro
creek precipitates the sewer question
upon the public. If the City hospital is
cut off then the Santa Rosa hospital, the
City hall, and all the hotels and large
buildings in the city must be treated
likewise. Such a proceeding will force
our citizens to provide by primitive
means for the disposal of sewerage. 1t
can't be done. We must have system
of sanitary sewerage as soon as possible.

Captain Waters Willing to be Mayor
of the City.
Trom Our Regular Correspondent,

As exclusively announced in last Mon
days NEWS, Captain John Waters will
beyond any doubt be the Democratic ic
nominee for Mayor this fall. Captain
Waters stated to the NEWS correspondent
last evening, that II the nomination was
rendered him, as he understood 1T would
be, he would most willingly be candi.
date.
captain Waters furthermore stated that
whiie 1t was an acknowledged Republican
year throughout the country, there were
exceptions, Of which Newport was one,
ana In his opinion, the Democrats had an
excellent chance for victory.
III - understood that the majority OF
the members OF the Democratic city COM
mittee are I'm favor of the captain, and
that when their meeting for nominations
takes place all will be harmonious.
Mr.. Fearing has withdrawn from the
struggle and will, so it is reported, at the
expiration OF his present term OF Office,
with Mrs. Fearing, sail for Europe.
Citizens are anxious to learn when the
present postmaster will be relieved by
either Mr., Clark or Colonel Young. Mr..
Fay's term expired on the 29th OF last
July, but today he is still in possession
and, so far as the public knows, for an in
definite period.
IL 10 rummored that not until after the
city and Congressional struggle is over,
Will the likely man be known. Those
who follow the somewhat irregular
movements of Newport politics, will re-
member that last spring, at the time OF
the State election, this same trick was
practiced. Mr.. Martin Ball, with two
others, were in the race for deputy collec-
tor. Each day brought forth q new
rumor, as to who had been appointed.
And 1T was not until after the April cleo
tion that Mr.. Ball was informed OF his ap-
pointment.
Meanwhile both aspirsnts are wearing
beaming faces, and each one appears to be
sure OF ult innate victory.
There was a special meeting Of the
Board of Aldermen last evening, at which
Mayor Fearing announced the appoint
ment OF Special Officer Shea, to succeed
Officer Eckhardt, dismissed. The ap-
pointment In no way met with the ap-
provsl Of the majority OF the board, and
was therefore unconfirmed. The session
was lar from pleasant, his Honor the
Mayor answering questions in an exceed
lngly terse manner.

ALL REPUBLICANS.
Formal Opening of the Mazzjni Clubs
New Headquarters.

The MazZini Republican Club of the
Ninth Ward formally opened it's new
headquarters, situated on the corner OF
Atwells avenue and Dean street last
evening, and the affair was a most unqual-
lned success in every particular. The
Mazzini Club Is Republican organiza-
tion composed of the best element Of the
ltalo- American citizens of Providence
and the celebration was a dual one. 1t
not only was for the purpose OF having
something in the nature OF house warm
ing, but was also a fitting recognition Of
the anniversary OF the greatest day in
Italian history, the Liberation of that
country from all tyrannical forms of gov
ernment, and to elebrate the unification
OF Italy under the House of Savoy.
About fifty members of the club and
their guests gathered around the board
last evening, and enjoyed an excellent COL
lation, furnished by caterer Burlando.
after which a short season of speechmak-
ing followed. Henry G. Salsndre, presi-
dent of the club, officiated as POSTMASTER,
and introduced Hon. Daniel r. Ballou.
Alderman from the Ninth Ward; Colonel
Hunter &. White, chairman of
the Republican State central COM
mittee; Assistant City Solicitor A. A.
Baker, +. p. Ventrone, A. Bucci, ". Pesa-
turo, Louis Ferria, Paul Castiglioni and
others, the addresses all tending to i'm
press the necessity of a continuance of the
work OF naturalization and registration,
and greater efforts in behalf of the Repub-
lican party during the approaching
political contests. AT the close of the
speechmaking Messrs. Ballou, White and
Baker were unanimously elected honorary
memb bers of the club.

tracted buffers. that IL charges but 80 per

this city have been mulcted in no inconsiaer-

From what can be learned from members Of
the council committee on printing and the
members OF the city government seen, all the
Sssrges for city advertising by the nameless
publication have been as large, and I'm soma
cases larger than those of The Reporter for
similar notices.

Tor IL Is possible for an alleged newspaper IN

officials who have obligated themselves 70
care Tor the interests of the tax payers sbould
lose no time In beginning an investigation.
AS suggested, however, the statement
OF the sheet coyeting reputation for
cheapness may prove as unreliable as many
others made by It, and if so. there is nothing
TO investigate. But IL the city treasury has
been ounooed out of money for so useless a
purpose, the responsibility should be fixed and
the taxpayers spared further loss.

Last evening the management of the
Providence Baseball Team, with the
stockholders of the association and theil
friends, gave a complimentary reception
and banquet to the Providence nine,
which, after season of unusual inter
est, has captured the championship OF
the Eastern League.
THE News congratulates the home
team on the success OF their work on the
diamond, and the association on the
financial success of their enterprise. It
is said that the Providence and Buffalo
associations are the only ones that hP We
made money, the home organization
having been so well managed that an
extraordinary percentage of profit on the
capital invested is shown. In Syracuse.
Springfield and Wilkesbarre there will
be no dividends to the stockholders.
In Erie public subscriptions
had to be called for to carry
the team through the season and
in Troy with fine team this same
scheme was tried and failed and the
players were left $4,000 behind in unpaid
salaries. Binghamton also had to give
up.

with the sagacity and good faith that
the present baseball asso-
citation, is surely good baseball team.
