At q special meeting OF the taxpayers
in school district No. l number OF sub
jects came up for discussion and action.
Among them was the necessity of opening
and furnishing fourth room in the
school. The three rooms I'm use have
been overcrowded, especially the lowest
grades. A lengthy discussion epsued and
II was finally satisfactorily settled in ia
vor of the unoccupied room. Ii was also
voted that the trustees should hire the
teacher for said room, and in event OF the
appropriation being insufficient to keep
the school open the required time that
the taxpayers would be responsible for
the deficiency.
The funeral services OF the late Joseph
Jenkins were held at his late residence

Geo Il. Brown seconded MIR. NcGuinness'
nomination in glowing terms, stating
that II the people wanted q reformer they
had one to present them. Mr.. Brown al
so warmly endorsed MIR. Mcguire when a
Mr.. Hurley OF the First Ward, who was
filing o vacancy in the Fourth Ward del
egation, felt sure that the people did not
want Mr.. Mcguire. II was said that the
opposition TO Mr.. Mcguire was largely
brought by man in the liquor bus mess
who thought because Mr.. Mcguire was in
the same line his business was interfered
with. As Mr.. Brown previously seid,
however, there are too many men in the
Democratic party who are in that busi-
ness to stand on anything like that. Some
didn't like the idea OF yesterdays secret
caucus either.
A committee comprising Messrs. Lam
nor, Comstock and Joseph Banks was APP
pointed to wait upon Mr.. McGuinness
and escort him to 'the hall to make
speech.
Candidate McGuinness appeared and
made an earnest, effective address stating
that he most highly appreciated the hon.
or which had been rendered him for the
third time. He spoke of the long and
continued suffering OF the public, the mis-
management OF the city government and
the dangers that threaten US, of which
the principle one appeared to be the con-
tinued absence OF transfer checks aud
crosstown lines
He referred to his record in the city
government and was emphatic in his an
tagonism TO the Union Railroad Com
pany. IL he is elected Mayor. no deals will
be permitted. IL elected he wants the
voice of the people to be respected and
he will demand that the candidate receiv-
ing the highest number of votes shall be
counted in. He concluded by saying:
"And SO, gentlemen, the election of this
year viii be memorable one in tho his

tary. Many OF the regular delegates
failed to show up and their places were
filled by the ward committees. Alto

that there was another woman in

enough to be his grandmother, and he
had only taken her in the house as q mat

Then Jordan made an accusation against

Gen. SCHOOLGIRLS Inspection Tour.

Lieut.. Gen. Schofield will start on his
final tour Of inspection of military posts
next Thursday. He will be accompanied
by Coils. Sanger and Schofeld of his staff.
He will continue in full command of the
army until his retirement In September
and will maintain his headquarters in this
city through telegraph communication.
Memphis will first be visited, and Gen.
Schofield will inspect the militia encamp-
ment. The party will then visit all tho
important military posts in The west ana
probably will not return to Washington UNI
til the fall. In speaking of his proposed
trip, Gen. Schofield said that during the
seven years that he had occupied his pres
ent station he thought that the condition
of the army had improved, and he desired
in closing his career to make q personal
examination and endeavor to discover what
further improvements could be made. The
conclusion he reaches during his tour will
be presented to the Secretary of War and
the President for their information and
possible guidance. and would probably not
be of the nature Of a report to be made
public.

KILLED THE PRISONERS.

Last Fight of the War.

Last Fight of the War.
NEW YORK, May 13.-The World has the
following special adv;ces from Toxic, via
San Francisco:
The last battle of the war between Japan
and China, at Tienchwangtai March 1O),
resulted in a butchery equaling the atroci-
ties at Port Arthur. 1t demonstrated that
the common soldiers of both oriental races
are as bloodthirsty and as brutal as the
American Indians. The Custer massacre
was not more horrible than the slaughter
of Chinese by the Japanese at Tiench-
wangtai
Tienchwangtai Is in Manchuria, one and
half miles from New Chwang. The Chi
nese, under Gen. Sung, had fortified II,
Forty thousand Japanese infantry and 5000
cavalry and artillery attacked Gen. Sung's
position on March from three Sides Tho
Chinese quickly retreated and the Japanese
army entered the town and began the
slaughter. Though 1,400 Chinese were
killed, only one wounded Chinaman was
taken prisoner. The wounded We're dis
patched on the field in the American Indian
style. Then the town was sacked and
burned. Letters from eyewitnesses describe
the butchery as horrible.
