The question now confronting The
various school trustees in the county dis
tricts is how to prevent the closing of
the schools before the end of the school
year. which seemed inevitable on ac-
count of the decision of the supreme
court in the Merrill case. The committee
having the matter in charge will ask
the legislature for an amendment to the
present law so as to permit trustees to
levy a maximum rate of special tax of
8 mills instead of ~ mills without cali
ing a meeting of the taxpayers. and that
the maximum rate OF school tax be raised
from ? TO 4 mills.
State Superintendent Park yesterday
submitted the following self-eXplanatOry
letter to the County Superintendent Van
Colt relative to the 22 mills levy now
authorized by law:
Mr.. Oscar Van Colt. Superintendent of
Schools. Salt Lake County. Utah:
Dear SirI am just in receipt OF your
letter of even date in which you make
the following statement and inquiry.
Section 80, article VI, of the school
law. gives the trustees the power TO order
a levy of One-fOurth of one per cent.
for the support of schools and 10 defray
current expenses.
''NVhen money is raised under this pro-
vision. can it be legally used for paying
teachers salaries?'
In reply to you question I viii say yes.
The two purposes to which this tax may
be applied are the support of schools
and 10 defray current expenses The
latter is only incidental TO the first, and
il is clearly evident that the schools must
be established and maintained as an es-
sential condition to all others.
The special fund for teachers salaries,
the state and county ap-portiOnment. may
be exhausted before the time for closing
the schoo year, when it would be legal
to construe the word support in the
section referred to. as applying TO the
payment of teachers salaries Yours

Debs Will Investigate the Miners

Denver, Jan. 11.-Eugene V. Debs
passed through his city today en- route

for the past five months.

the miners' stand is wholly one to
maintain wages. No laboring man up
holds violent measures. n I do not
believe that the Leadville miners, the
body of them, were interested in the
attack. In so far as the miners seek a
peaceful, lawful way TO maintain
wages, they ought to be supported by
every class of organized labor. Every
Wageworker is vitality interested in the
result. It is my impression that the

Police and Soldiers Clash.

Springfield, Jan. 11.-Policemen and
soldiers clashed on two occasions to-
day. The first trouble took place about
8 o'clock this morning, and the last
about 4 in the afternoon. The Second
regiment of Chicago was mixed UP in
both rows, and some of the Fifth regi-
ment had a hand in the trouble. Clubs
and bayonets were used freely in the
last combat and the policemen had TO
threaten to shoot before order was re-
stored. Several police officers were
struck with b%ayonets, out the wounds
they received were slight. A few of
the soldiers were beaten with police
mems clubs, and they viii undoubtedly

MASSACRE OF BRITISH.
Members of a Peaceable Expedition
Said to Have Been SLAUGHTERED.

mSuADSIS Ol q GSdCSdL1S GApSO1I1OI
Said to Have Been Slaughtered.
London, Jan. ia dispatch from
Bonny, on the coast of Upper Guinea,
reports the massacre of all the mem
bers of a p~eaceable British expedition
which left the coast about Jan. !, IN
tending to proceed to Benin City on the
Benin river by way of Sapels. The
expedition consisted of Acting-Consul
General Phillips, Major Copeland
Crawford, Captain Boisragon. who was
the commander of the force Of the
Niger coast protectorate; Captain NAL
ing, belonging TO the same force;
Messrs. Campbell and Locke, consular
officials; DR.. Elliott, Messrs. Powis ard
Gordon, civilians, and a number of
Kroomen and native carriers.
The yacht Ivy, belonging to the Brit-
reports that the entire expedition was
killed by the subjects Of the king of
Benin. which territory is included in
the Niger coast protectorare.
A scanty report of the affair, which
has reached the foreign office, says
that the members of the expedition
were captured and not killed. The for
eign office deprecates the assumption
that they were m~assacred, until official
advices shall have been received.
1t is stated thai the expedition was
not armed, and it is likely they have
fallen victims to some of the wild
tribes infesting the borders. It is prob
able that the king of Benin will not be
involved in the mater.

watching the proceedings in the inter-
est of the accused.
Counsel for the defense made a
speech that occupied three hours. It
was full of incisive. forcible argu-
ments to prove that SOmeillan's inno-
cence had been demonstrated by the
testimony Of the witnesses. He de-
clared emphatically that the charge
against the prisoner was g~roundless,
and contended that 1t had been con-
clusively shown that he had no con-
nection with the Cuban iunta or with
any of the rebels. Nothing had been
adduced at the trial to justify the as
Sertion that the cipher messages upon
which the charge was based was in
tended for Someillan personally. Coun-
sci contended that even if his clients
guilt had been admitted, which had not
been done, the law provided that he be
sentenced to eight years confinement,
and not to Imprisonment for life, as
the prosecutor had asked
Though lacking in ~eloquence, the
speech was vigorous. and created the
impression that the case is one of mis-
taken identity.
Upon the conclusion of the speech the
court adjourned to consider it's YER

FAREWELL ADDRESS.
John NJ. Tanner Now Governor of
the Great State of Illinois-Mo-
mentary Excitement.

Springfield. H.. Jan. 1.-THE only
novelty in the inauguration function at
the capitol today was the departure from

address which he had prepared for the
occasion, and was on the point Of be-
ginning when a Republican motion TO ad-

retiring governor be invited TO. speak
after Governor Tanner had delivered his
address. This was done because the
Democratic members of he legislature
had learned that the programme of the
Republican managers OF the i~naugura-
ton ceremonies did not include a fare
well address by Mr.. Altgeld. The presi-
dent OF the senate, to whom the motion
was addressed, referred il to Speaker
Curtis, who was in charge of the joint
session, but the speaker refused TO en-
terrain it at that time. ms intersection
in the set ceremony caused a ripple OF eX-
element among the big assemblage.
Senator Mahoney said privately that
Speaker Curtis had informed him there
would not be time for Mr.. Altgeld to
speak. The trouble was allowed to sub
side for an hour by the delivery of Gov
