Much Interest Shown by the Faculty

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRAsc1sco CALL,

$40 DFCauW way, MatCH II.
Principal McChesney of the High School
is candidate for secretary of the Board
of Regents, and as it is believed that he
has some support, including that of
Regent J. West Martin, the fact that he
may leave the High School has caused
interest in educational circles.
Professor McChesney mas been at the
head OF the High School since it was or
ganized, and in the event of his severing
his connection with the School Depart
ment there are many who aspire to sue
ceed him.
Since the death OF Secretary Bonte the
Board of Regents has left his place va
cant, but it is given out that at the next
meeting OF the Board Of Regents in April
successor Will be appointed. There a.e
many candidates, and as the position has
attached to it salary OF $4,000 per annum
no one will win without a struggle. II
was not known till to-day that Professor
McChesney has been quietly making an
effort TO obtain this position.
When asked about the matter he said /:
Il am q candidate and / am not. / mean
by this that | would like to have the posi-
ton, and have expressed my desire. /
cannot, however, get out and make cam
paign or do any politics because such
practices DO not coincide with my nature.
| will not go around buttonholing the
Regents, but at the same time ! should
like their support. If the position be
offered me or if | can obtain 1t with the
minimum amount of effort then of course
do whole lot of work or to overcome any
opposition that may be put forward by
other candidates. | know | have some
support, but l cannot tell how much. OF
course if appointed | should have to leave
the High School. as the secretary of the
Board of Regents has a very responsible
position and needs to devote all his time
to 1t.
'.At this time, however, / cannot say
what NAV be the result. Next month the
board will appoint a successor to the late
Mr. Bonte, and l will admit that | hope |
shall be the next secretary of the Board OF
Regents.
In a few words Mr.. McChesney will not
seek the office, as he is too far advanced in
years to do any active canvassing on his
own account. but if the office should seek
him he will be more than willing to ac-
cept it.
In the event of his election by the
Board of Regents there would be va
caney in the High School, and several o.
the professors on the faculty would like
20 succeed Mr.. McChesney. During the
past few years, about June. when the an
nua! election of teachers of the Oakland
School Department is held, there has been
a little opposition manifested toward the
reelection of the old principal, but it has
never amounted to anything. Should the
position be vacant there will, of course, be
a scram BILE for the place when the annual
election OF teachers takes place at the first
meeting of the School Board next June.

Judge Waymire's family were surprised

not informed of the cause.

Choked by Bean.
OAKLAND, CAL, March 27.-An in
quest was held to-day into the death OF
little Christopher Pacheco, who died as
the result of bean lodging in his throat
last Thursday. The little fellow lived at
Temescal and was playing with beans.
He put one in his mouth while he was sit

and the Judge had an argument on the
alleged informalities in the com plant.
Finally Judge Hall decided that the best
way TO settle the whole affair was by re-
counting the votes of the First Ward, and
he so ordered.
While the votes of the different council
men from the ward were being called off
about dozen politicians kept snap tallies
for other candidates.
When the bundles of ballots were pro-
duced by City Clerk Tom pkins, there was a
stir in the courtroom which plainly indi-
Gated that there were present some who
evidently expected to find the result of
the election turned completely around by
the recount. sScrap-iron Clark" who

9OS Broad way. March 27.

Nearly every candidate at the recent
election was in Judge Halls courtroom
this morning when the election contest
came up between J. S. Colburn and ia mes
Henneberry. Councilman from the
First Ward.
Colburn contested on various grounds,
stating that on account of his name being
similar to that OF another candidate named
Carroll he lost enough votes to have over
come the narrow majority of aenneberry,
which was but fifteen votes.
Attorney Fitzgerald represented Mr..
Henneberry, and in his argument stated
rHhat the complaint should be overruled
1asmuch as the contestant did not state
ythe number of votes he claimed to have
lost through carelessness of the officials.
Judge Hall did not agree with him, and
for little time Attorney Button, who
represented Colburn, Attorney Fitzgerald

On another ticket the voter had care
fully NAKED the red crosses Immediately
after the names of the candidates, in
stead of in the little square marked on
the ballot for the purpose.
The Third Precinct OF the First Ward
was taken up and completed and when
all the objections had been ruled upon
the vote stood Henne berry 139, Colburn
121. By strange coincidence these
figures showed that each candidate lost
exactly two votes bv the recount, so that
the majority of Henne berry was not
affected in the least.

ALAMEDA, CAL, March 27.-The mud
die about the tickets for the municipal
election remains much in the same con-
dition as yesterday. and is apparently no
nearer solution. The fact is, the Austria
lian ballot law d does not contemplate the
nomination of candidates by other than
re ular party conventions or by petition.
Consequently, when, as in this city, par
tisanship is sunk and the nominations are
made by organizations in which party
lines are not drawn, the law does not pro-
vide means for meeting such an emer-
gency. The nominations were made by a
meeting calling itself Non Partisan con-
vention. by another called the Good Gov
ernment Club, by means of the postal
primary and also by petition. But in no
case were any of these bodies conventions

last year as the place for holding the
Grand Council OF the Young Mems Insti-
tu,e of this State, it is now desirous of Sc
curing the Grand Lodge of the Fores ers
next wear.
r. Reed and Frank B. Hooson were
elected delegates last night to the annual
camp which meets on May 4 at Marvs-
vile. As it is a general practice to have
this camp held in different parts OF the
State, so as to equalize somewhat the dis
tances which delegates have to travel, it is
considered feasible proposition to make
a bid TO obtain the next annual gathering
at Haywards.
The town has proved what it can do
with large gathering, and the delegates
to the Young Mems Institute convention
last year all agree that in no place had
they been better treated or received more
agreeable accommodation
Having this record on which to fall
back the delegates to the Foresters' camp
intend 10 make the best use of it and to
work to bring the delegates into this
county next year.
F. B. Hooson was one of they. M. |.
delegates tnat succeeded at Vallejo in
having Haywards chosen for the Grand
Council aad he will make the best use of
his past experience.
"Haywards has always been too mod
est" said Mr.. Reed last night, "but We
are now beginning to wake up. Before
the electric railroad from Oakland brought
us several hours nearer to that city We
perhaps had no business to make our.
selves heard. We certainty were in no

Now, however, this is all changed and
we want the Foresters of California to
come to our city and we will guarantee
that they shall carry away with them the
opinion that Haywards is in no way be-
hind any other city of her size in the
march of progress. We shall go to Marys-
vile prepared to make strong contest
for Hay ards, and, Judging by past expe-
rience, We shall win.

who has lived In Haywards for few
months, is leper. He first resided IN the
Chinese washhouse there, where he did
some of the work, and all the patrons OF
the laundry are now alarmed at the possi-
bic consequences.
Health Officer Reynolds of Haywards
and DR.. Clark were suspicious OF Yin and
they found him camped near Sulphur
Spring. On discovering the leprosy they
have had him moved TO the infirmary
grounds, where he is now locked in q

Philadelphia. Pa. Jan. 27.-The total
loss on the PHILADELPHIA fire is variously
estimated at from 81 100000 to $780,
600, but in the chaos and confusion now
existing it is all but impossible to secure
accurate figures. The losses are very
generally covered by insurance
The loss on Wanamakers will be be-
tween $4,000 and 100000, unless
the smoke damage turns out to be
much larger than anticipated. John
Wanamaker has been carrying no insur-
ance on his establishment i'll Philadel-
phia, being unwilling to accept the CO.
insurance clause, equip it with automatic
sprinklers or pay the tariff rate original
ly demanded. Finally and only few
after hard work succeeded in persuading
the Philadelphia Fire Underwriters as
ISOLATION to make a rate of 1M per cent
and waive the reinsurance clause if
Wanamaker would carry $1,0OO,OO0 in
Surance.
Thrilling incidents were not wanting.

HOME RULE FOR CUBA.
Authentic Draft of the Concessions
Spain is Willing to
Grant.

New York, Jan. 2S-A dispatch to the
Herald fom Havana, says: "Your cor
respondent has seen an absolutely au-
thentic draft of the home rule measure
which Spain is about to concede to Gu
ba. The act provides for Il legislative
assembly wholly selective by an en-
larged suffrage and composed of Sen
ate and lower House. Besides having
the sole power to vote an especial
budget of the island, this chamber has
full power TO draw up and control the
budget of what may be termed the i'm
perial expenses, or expenses of the army
and navy of Spain in so far as they are
legitimately to be shared by Cuba. This
budget Of material expenses will be
sent to Madrid for the approval OF the
Cortes
with the encouragement is vested
the power to appoint all officials IN the
Cuban government with the exception of
encouragement or collectors OF the port
and members of general of
the governor and civil governors Of the
provinces, who are to be selected by
popular vote All officials who shall be
appointed by the encouragement must
be confirmed by the Assembly created by
the reform measure in the same way that
federal appointments require conhrma-
ton by the Senate of the United States.
''This 'deputacion unica or 'consejo
di administration as the Cuban Assem-
bly, will be called, will have full and ex-
elusive power to initiate all money and
tariff bills and no bill of this nature can
be presented or considered by the Mad
rid government until it has been ap-
proved by the Cuban Assembly.
The reform measure was read to Mr..
Olney i'll Washington last December by
Minister de LONE and met his unQuali-
fed approval. Some slight changes have
been made by the colonial minister and
council of state at Madrid since Secre
tary Olney gave his approval 1t is stat
ed, however, that they are unimpOrtant,
more relating to the language than to the
provisions.
Liberal as these concessions seem, it
is said that the Cubans will not accept
any agreement to which the United
States is not directly or indirectly a par
ty. This guarantee of arrangement is
now being sought in the commercial
agreement being negotiated at Washing
ton. By this agreement Spain clearly
recognizes the new autonomy system in
Cuba and any failure to carry out the
agreement now or to abrogate in future
would be a breach of good faith with
the United States sufficient to justify
serious remonstrance and eventually, if
necessary, actual interference.
eff the terms of this pledge given by
Spain to the United States are sufficient
ly explicit and unmistakable under this
indirect guarantee. the CubanS will ac-
cept the reform bill. Otherwise neither
this nor any other agreement which has
been made will be accepted. This has
been said many times during the last few
days by the most authoritative leaders
in the civil councils of the insurgents
and may be regarded as final"

Destroyed-Loss is About
S3OOOOO

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 2S.-At 2 o'clock
this morning a fire alarm rang, followed
Immediately by general alarm calling
the entire fire department to the big five
story brick malthouse of Herman Goep-
per & CO., between Vine and Race
streets and extending to Commerce, q
depth of $50 feet The building, with
its heavy sock and material, was wholly
destroyed except the walls. This was
formerly the Albert Schwill & Co. malt
house and was recently purchased by
Herman Cooper & Co. The total loss
by the fire is estimated at between $780,
600 and $350,000. Overman, Schrader
& Co s cordage warerooms i'll the same
building were destroyed and the loss is
included in the above estimate.
1t required the best possible manage
ment by the fire department to prevent
a spread Of the fire among valuable and
imperatively combustible property.
