witnesses makes it probable that Sat-
urday or Monday night will be chosen.
The counsel of both parties to the
case have not decided whether or not
there will he closing arguments. 1t
appears to be the desire of each to
let the case so to the mayor and his
advisors on the evidence alone. Con-
cerning the ownership of the teams,
the defense will hardly present any
evidence. Attorney Burns and Wat
son appeared satisfied that the wit
nesses of the opposing side have es-
tablished the fact that the street COM
missioner does not own the teams in
question.
Mr.. Kinsley may be put on the stand
to corroborate the evidence of Ramsey
and others that the teams are owned
by them.

DIR. GILMAN'S NAME MENTIONED.
THE PRESIDENT OF JOHNS HOPKINS WANT
ED BY CERTAIN OF THE COMMISSION
ERs FOR CITY SUPERINTENDENT


1t was said last night by one Of the members OF
the Board of Education that the OF Or. Daniel
c. Gilman. president OF Johns Hopkins University
would be presented to the Board its meeting this
afternoon for election 10 the important office OF
City Superintendent Of Public Schools. 1t was also
said that President Gman's name would be pre-
scented with his knowledge. and consent
Certain members OF the Board who favor Presi-
dent Gilman feel confident that he is the only man
capable OF raising the SCHOOLS to the desired stand
ard OF excellence. and they putting forth every
possible effort to secure the Endorsement Of their
candidate by a majority OF the members OF the
Board.
One Of the Schoo, Commissioners said TO Tribune
reporter last evening: II am thoroughly convinced
that President Gilman Is just the for the place
and have doubt that when his name is presented
10 the Board OF Education for the office OF City STU
pernendent the majority of my colleagues VIII
favor him With a man of such wide National
reputation President Gilman would bring here
with him. would not have the least difficulty In
calling the very best educators In the land from their
present positions 10 become President Gilman's as
sistants on the Beard OF Superintendents."
The election of the Superintendent for term OF
six years is set to take place at the regular meeting
OF the Board this afternoon. but there are so many
Of the Commis ssioners who favor the reelection OF
John Jasper the present Superintendent that those
who favor President Gilman for the place may ask
for postponement Of the election in order mat an
the members of the Board may have an opportunity
10 investigate further the merits of their candidate
President Gilman Is one OF the foremost educators
IN the land. and has great powers as an organizer.
He graduated from Yale in 1852 and soon after
Haven, Conn. Later he was appointed state super
intendent OF the Department Of Education In Con-

CLETELAND KEEPS SILENT.
HE REFUSES TO SPEAK ON THE THIRD
TERM QUESTION

IF MKryIEY WINS AT ST LOUIS HE MAY TAKE
THE CHICAGO NOMINATION AND MAKE THE
FIGHT ON THE TARIFF REFORM ISSUE
tsY TELEGRAPH THE TaIBUNE.1
Washington May 19-President Cleveland has
not told Postmaster Hesng. OF Chicago. that he
will not be candidate for renomlnation; neither
has he told any other person. He has written no
letters on the subject and will not write any.
though all kinds Of inducements have been offered
to him to express his Intentions or desires In
the matter Of third term. The reason for this
is that the President has not yet entirely satisfied
himself as to what he desires or intends TO do
He has not asked any one to urge his nomina-
ton at Chicago. and will not do Still. cir
cumstances may arise at that convention or be-
fore II Is held which may induce him to consent
10 denomination He takes and has taken
little personal interest In the outcome OF the
Chicago Convention. He has talked on the sub
ject to a number OF personal and political friends
but only for the purpose of ascertaining what
they thought would or should be DONE but has
refrained from saying anything which would In
dicate his preferences. This be said with
authority.
One thing. however, has been clearly estab-
lished in the minds OF a number OF his friends,
and this Is that President Cleveland prefers that
Mckinley should be nominated at 81 Louic
rather than that any other Republican should
secure the honor His idea is that the nomina-
ton Of Mckinley would give to the tariff question
the Importance he thinks II should receive. and
either make the money question secondary or take
It entirely out OF the Presidential campaign. He
prefers further battle on tariff reform. and does
not think any other candidate would give 1t as
willingly as Mckinley. Should that nomination
be made the President may consent again TO be
a candidate Under an, other circumstances he
would not to enter the campaign.
President Cleveland imagines that the great
majority OF the people Of this country favor tarin
reform and that the Democratic party stands a
better chance OF success that issue than on any
other. He thinks that the issue was clearly made
during the last Presidential campaign and that
when the time came for counting the votes the
Democratic party found to have secured the
majority on that issue. He Is willing to try II
again II the nomination Is given TO him with
tariff as the issue. but hardly under any other cir
cumstances or against any other Republican can
dldate than Mckinley. But he VIII not give
any public expression Of his ideas until he has
read the platform which will be adopted at ST.
Louis, and until then all statements purportlng 10
have been made by him on the matter. his most
intimate friends say, should be discounted, II not
entirely repudated.
