AN INTERVIEW.
A talk with one OF the leading
members was obtained by JOURNAL

building itself. II the amount . re-
ceiyed from state and county had not
exceeded our expectations the denclI
would have been larger than u Is.
Some reduction was made 10 sal
aries but this was Cffset by the EN-
ployment Of new teacher and a jan
tor at the Polytechnic building, 80
that the monthly payroll remains SUD
stantially the same as last year. We
felt that no further reduction could
be made with safety to the schools
FLOATING INDEBTEDNESS,
The floating debt is over sl3,OOO'
We do not think it wise TO allow TINS
Indebtedness, which was incurred 10
paw the fixed charges and cost or car
Tying on the schools, to increase from
wear TO wear. On the contrary, II
ought to be cut down so that in a rev
years the district will be compara-
lively free from debt.
Furthermore, the item Of iDrerest
on notes is a very important one. The
rate now paid is s per cent. per an
mum. The interest from March, 1896,
TO March, 1897, will amount to about
81 100, or nearly $50 per month. This
heavy drain on the resources OF the
district certainly ought not to be in-
creased, but rather ought TO be cut
down.
FOR SIX MILLS.
On account OF the great decrease in
Of assessable property this
rear as compared with that Of last,
I-mill levy will bring in about the
iame sum as a 5-mill tax would have
lone then; so that, so far as the bur-
len to the taxpayer is concerned, !
mill levy this year will practically
mount TO an increase OF but one mill
iver the 4-mill tax OF last year.
Considering all the circumstances,
We recommend a levy OF mills on the
Ollar on the taxable property Of the
istrict as the lowest that can safely |

EXPERT SEAL COMMISSION
VIII BE Appointed to Act With the
British Experts.

Washington, April 1G.-The president
has decided to appoint another expert
commission to act in conjunction with
one already selected by Great Britain to
visit Behring sea this summer and con-
tinue the study of the conditions sur
rounding seal life. The British govern
ment has named the commissioners it
employed in this capacity last year,
namely: Professor Thompson and Ger
aid b. Hamilton. Our commissioners
were President Jordan of Stanford Uni
yersity, and Professors Stegener and
Lucas.
Whether these same experts will be re-
appointed will be determined in the
course of a few days. 1t is said that
the results of last years work of the eX-
perts was an agreement on some points,
but not on all. Among the unsolved
questions is the determination of the best
means of preserving seal life, conceding
that there is danger of destruction, upon
which point at least the experts seemed
to agree. 1t is the purpose of the state
department to cndeavor to secure the
consent of the British in favor of the
adoption of modus vivendi suspending
all sealing on land and sea while the cX-
perts are at work during the approach
ing season. Negotiations in this direc-
ton are now in progress.

LETTER FROM GLADSTONE.

a Thrust mt EngIand's Attitude Too
wards Crete.
London, April 1G.-Mr. Gladstone has
written letter to the Macedonian leader,
Capt. Campzez, in which he says:
Under the present deplorable scheme
all the British government has the right
TO do, seemingly, is to plead its opinions
before tribunal Of two youthful despots,
the emperors Of Germany and Russia, and
abide by their decisions and help them to
execute their final determinations. Our
disgraceful Office seems to be to place
ships, guns, soldiers and sailors at their
disposal for the purpose Of keeping down
the movement for the liberty of Crete
and Of securing these young despOts, who
have in nowise earned the confidence of
Europe, the power of settling questions
which rightfully belong to the Cretans."
