Mr.. Manchester Said That There lsa Wide
Variation In Charges Made.
A SYSTEMATIC METHOD NEEDED.
Schools Ought, Mr.. Manchester BeIlered Obtain
Water Free Of Charge Committee 10 Be Ap-
puned 10 Consider he Matter.

The regular monthly meeting of the
school committee was held last evening
with President Barney i'm the chair and
a quorum present.
After the usual routine business, SUI
perintendent OF Schools Tarbell pre-
sentcd his report, laying stress upon
the Investigations he has been conduct
ing regarding the amount of time spent
by teachers on school work in the
school room and elsewhere, aside from
the time they are required TO DC in the
school room.
Tn inquiry shows that the average
time daily spent by primary teachers in
preparation for school work is "a min
utes at the school room and "a minutes
elsewhere. Grammar teachers spend on
this item OF work 20 minutes I'm the
school room and 81 minutes elsewhere.
Marking papers and correcting eXer-
cises consumes nine minutes of the
primary teachers time i'm the school
room. and IL minutes elsewhere; while
grammar teachers spend on such work
II minutes I'm the school room and "a
minutes elsewhere The preparation
of records and reports consumes "A very
short time daily, but IL still is To be
considered. Then there are several
miscellaneous matters that consume for
the primary teacher six minutes at the
school building and three minutes else
where: for the grammar teacher four
minutes at the school building and
three minutes elsewhere. The report
was accepted.
Mr. Gardiner, from the committee on
accounts, reported upon 80 miscela-
neous bills. amounting TO $5,059.12. The
bills were approved and ordered paid.
Mr.. Manchester spoke of the matter
OF expense for water supplied To the
public schools, and said that he found
on tabulating the various schools, that
the variation i'm price was very great
and he believed that there ought TO be
some systematic method OF charges.
Mr.. Manchester moved that a commit
tee be appointed TO take UP the sub
ject. The schools ought really TO have
the water for nothing, but III they could
not they at least should see that they
We're not charged improperly.
Among the charges against the
schools on Ma Manchester's tabulation
were the following: High Schools-Eng-
lsh, $780, Classical, x22S.56 Manual

eter close to 100, the heat in the holds of

one or more csses of prostration were re-

Two men of the Seventy first New York

it was hours before the physicians succeed

Friday, however. the ships were ordered
once more out into the stream, word having
been brought up by the converted gunboat
Hornet that no trace of any hostile vessel
had been found.
After a conference of several hours dura-

after the exchange of a good many tele-

PILLsBURY NOT CAUGHT.
Relieves Wheat Is Worth csc More
than Yesterdays Price.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, June 13.--The big
break in wheat TO-DAY caused much excite
ment on Change and among the grain men,
Letters failure to carry the load which he
attempted to handle may have been ex-
pected by some, but to the great majority
it came as a surprise. The statement that
Northwestern banks would be affected by
the action of Letter is not true, at least, to
any appreciate degree.
c. A. Pillsbury, when asked in regard to
his opinion of the break, its causes and re-
suits, said: THE cause of the break in
wheat to-day was that Mr.. Letter attempted
to carry too heavy load and put the price
of wheat too high. If he had never at
tempted to put the price above $140 he
would probably have won out great money
as II was legitimately worth that; but when
the market did not come up to his expecta-
lions he kept increasing his load and /
understand, there were nearly seven million
bushels sold in Chicago to-day on his ac-
count. OF course, offering such an enormous
time depressed prices, and il is strange to
me that 1t has not depressed them more;
and while this Is being sacrificed on the
market prices will be temporarily as much
lower than they legitimately should be as
they have been higher than they legitimate-
ly should have been. Wheat is worth legiti-
mately p cents more than il closed at to-
DAY and In my opinion. Will be selling at
about that much when the liquidation owing
to the scare liz over. In few DAYS the
mills will be as eager for wheat at 81 a

possible precaution has been taken by the
government authorities to prevent the
spread of the disease beyond the district in
which it is known 10 exist and it seems
likely now that they will be successful.

PATRIOTIC CHINESE.
Organization for the Defense of the
Empire,s Territory.


Correspondence of the Associated Press
SHANGHAI, China. May 12-After the
Chna-Japan war several reform clubs were
projected by influential Chinese, looking
toward the renovation of Chinese politics.
One of these gathering great power
when 1t overshot the mark and was sum-
marily annihilated by the throne. At the
present date formidable organization of
progressive Chinese is being organized
throughout the empire. II is to be a national
organization, with branches in each city and
town. In one sense it is progressive and in
another 1t is retrogressive. The correspond
ent has reliable information from most
prominent sources that the organization has
the patronage of the most prominent men
in the new China. The hopeful feature about
this patriotic association is that its cardi-
nal principle is the preservation of the en-
pire. Patriotism has been almost defunct for
years and this is attempt to rouse the
people. The reactionary feature of the move
ment is its hatred of all things foreign.
The organization was launched by the ten
thousand literati assembled recently at
Picking for the examination for the doctors
degree. There are thirty articles and twenty
five bylaws for the organization, and the
preamble is as follows: This patriotic club
is formed for the defense of the empire in
view of that fact that our territory is daily
sliced away, the powers of the government
daily circumscribed and the people more
and more oppressed They are to protect
the territory, the people and nation" Each
local club is 10 become the center of a sys-
tenn of preaching. This idea is copied bodily
from the methods of the missionaries in
spreading Christianity. 1t is stipulated that

LONDON, June BIN the House of Lords
to-day the Marquis of Salisbury, replying
to the Earl of Camperdown, Liberal, con-
f1rmed the reports of the concessions
granted to Great Britain in the vicinity of
Hong-Kong, which, he said, in addition to
giving slight extension to the colony, also
secured strategical surroundings which so
far commanded Hong-Kong that without
S them, in case of war, Great Britain would
have been put to certain disadvantages.
These considerations, the premier further
pointed out. had become more imperative
in consequence of the events of the last
few years. He could not say that any i'm
mediate danger was appTehended. In fact
the concessions had been demanded for a
long time, but recent events made the
Chinese government more sensible to the
possibility of unexpected occurrences, and
they quite understand and appreciate the
solcitude displayed for the maintenance of
peace and the commercial interests of Great
Britain, which are those of the whole
