control but undoubtedly something would be-
GAINED by doing away with the district lines
and allowing boys and girls TO attend any school
In the city which they wish 10 enter. This sub
icc is one for the attention Of the intelligent
committee designated by Mayor Schlcrcn to s,ig
gesr improvements In the public school system
OF Brooklyn.
The most important fact of all is that ad"
ouot. proyision has not been made by the city
authorities for new school buildings To meet
the constantly increasing demand. Up to the
last two or three years earnest attempts were
made I'm Brooklyn to bring the supply Of school
houses I'D TO the requirements, but under the
l
of economy were allowed to prevail and apprV
nrotIons for school houses were neglected. The
responsibility should be- pu where 1t belongs.
W., notice that an attempt Is being made 10 hold
Mayor Schcrcn responsible for the serious CON
diton which confrOnts the city. This Is absurd
for two reasons. In the first place. the Board
of Estimate for 1894. the first of which Mr..
Scbicrcn has been a member. can make no APP
l.. l.f. cans
whereas the money for schoolhouscS rcndy for

Mayor Schcrcn and the Republican Supervisor

Estimate the three Democratic members OF

THE SE4.FJGUT IN THE EAST

Reports of the naval engagement at the mouth
Of the Yaloo Rivcr-not at Iaoo, which is far
inland-arc in some respects mcagre and inco-
herent II seems TO BE- certain, however. that
an important battle was fought; probably the
greatest on record between modern warships.
The best part Of the Chinese Navy was engaged !;
but how many or which Japanese ships does not
vet appear The losses said To have been
heavy and about the same on both sides. But
as all the dispatches yet at hand came through
Chinese channels, there Is strong reason TO De
lieyc that the result was far more favorable to
japan than they indicate. Indeed, 1t Is entirely
within the bounds Of possibility, and even OF
probability, that the battle was aS disastrous TO
thc Chinese invaders as that Of last week AT
Phong Yang Certainly this is the case IT, as In
,lmatcd in a Shanghai dispatch, the Chinese
TRANSPORTS were blown up with all on board.
According to "'The London Timcss' account,
the Chinese ships Lhen-Yucn, King Yuen Tsao-
Yung or ChaoYung and YangWc were de-
s,roycd. The Chen uen was the vessel falsely
