SCHOOLS ADDED.
Six Brought Into City BY Annexa
ti0n of Johnston.
Present Teachers May Be Elected at Next
Meeting OF School Committee.

BY the annexation OF portion of the
town Of Johnston the number Of the pub
lie schools Of Providence has been In
creased by six-one high school, on o
grammar school and four primary schools.
The high school building Is fine struo-
ture and will te perfectly satisfactory
for the use OF the city. IL employs five
teachers and has 1lb pupils in 1t. The
grammar school also is rather new
building, and pro badly could not be much
improved upon. 1t has nine teachers and
1888 pupils. Inc principal, Mr.. Steere, is
especially popular throughout the dis
trict.
The four primary schools employ 23
teachers altogether, and have 1015 pupils.
One of these schools on Ross street. is in
very bad condition and cannot be toierat-
ed as city school. 1t is On old building
and has no ventilation. The other schools
ara in good buildings and are In good
condition. Taking the nigh, grammar
and primary schools, all together there
are 37steacnsrs. They have all been visited
by Supt. Tarbell and their rooms inspect
ed. Insaddition, there are three special
teachers, one OF drawing, one OF music
and the third of calisthenics.
The total number CT pupils belon ging
to shese schools is 1853. and the Hocommo-
dations for them are fully adequate for
the present, with the exception OF the
Rose street school. An inventory OF the
articles In the various schools that passed
to the city with the real estate has been
taken by Messrs. Durfeo and Dorchester.
The payroll for June OF the annexed dis
triut will amount to S2l23 including the
janiturs. The school committee Will have
to appeal to the City Council for tho
money to pay for June and September In
these schools and will also have to enlarge
its estimate for the running expenses OF
next year.
The teachers In the annexed district are
not, as yet, regular teachers OF the city,
ana most of them may not be for some
time TO come. 1t is possible tnat at the
next meeting OF the school committee,
however, the teachers OF the annexed
district may be elected fer only three
months, on trial, at this time. In order
that their work may bs inspected.

Ordered to Quarters.

Mai. Tanner made mo reply, but ordered
the men to return to their quarters, and
then the men shouted that they would re-
turn home at once. Lieut.. Turner, officer
of the day, had, In the meantime, called
out the guard and was ruady for any
emergency, but the men who had pro-
tested went to their supper Without max
Ing further trouble Intending, they said,
TO leave oamp Immediately after the
meal While they were eating double
guard was po stsd at the entrance OF the
camp.
Whether 1t was the soothing effect OF
the ratious, or whether 1T was the deter
mined attitude OF the officers and the
men OF the campguard company, IL
not quite certain, but the fact remains
that after supper tine recruits did not
seem quite 80 eager to start away. While
the men we've still talking over the affair
retreat sounded, and the recruits gathered
In their company streets. Here each cvm-
pany wns addressed by Col. Rose, who by
this time had returned TO tho camp, anu

they very we'll understood that no exour-
sion boats were to 90 allowed at the
wharf, and that they had no reason

spect the guards and II any attempt was
made by any man to tamper with any
guard, that individual would DO apt to

The men on the wharf realizing that
the excursionists were not to be landed,
began to shout to the captain OF the Bay
Queen TO come up to the wharf No in
oucement offered by the eager men
seemed 10 have any effect ON the obdurate
captain. The steamer did not move an
inch nearer, and this served to increase
the excitsment Uf the recruits. Maj.
Tanner and Capt n hamilton. who were on
-th 10 wharf. were accused BY the men OF
aving ordered the boat not to land. and
the excitement became more Intense. AZ
the Bay Queen swung around and headed
for Providence, q howl went up from the
men, and they decided that some action
was necessary.
Mai. Tanuer and Capt. Hamilton, hav-
Ing left the wharf, the men organized o
sort Of an indignation meeting, and the
recruits ma rched to headquarters 20 pro-
test. Col. Rosa was not In his office, and
Mai. Tame who was In charge, appeared
at the door. One of the men was spokes-
