retired to Blockhouse No. 7, whence

tire insurgent outpost at that point.
AT p. m. Colonel Stoszenburg,
First Nebraska Infantry, United States
Volunteers, reported considerable firing
at his outposts which extended gradual-
~ along the entire front, OF the division,
Az 1910 y. m. 1t was evident that hostI-
tiles had been commenced In earnest by
the insurgents, and, accordingly an
order issued from thes headquarters to
put everything on the firing line ac-
cording to q programme which had
been pre-arranget for such an emer-
gency"
Continuing, the report says that the
lighting progressed fercely all night
and the next day the insurgents were
driven back from their whole line. The
tennessee regiment md the South ,Da-
kota regiments are particularly mem
toned as rendering good service. Gen.
Macarthur says:
The combat WIS characterized By q
fine display OF initiative on the part OF
the troops engaged. nll o. whom were
essential to the final success achieved !"
Further. General Macarthur Gays:
The punishment inflicted by the dlvis-
ion may be estimated from the fact
that official report has been made Of the
actual burial Of 374 insurgents killed In
action during the month. The enemy's
wounded were as general rule. sue
cesstul!y removed. 20 that 1t is impos-
sibl, to speak with any precision In
that respect but It Is assumed that
three wounded to one killed would be a
reasonable estimate"

OF the duration OF street railway franchises to twenty
i've years and its augmented percentages and other
stringent limitations railway exactions it will
take effect within seven months demonstrates the in
fanny of the Supervisors who propose to donate the
property of the city the monopoly with reserva
ton OF any percentage for five years However, far
advised it evident that in this corrupt pro-
ceedng of the clauses OF the act OF 1897 has been
studiously concealed That statute declares that mo
percentage shall be paid for the first FIVE years
ceedng the date of the franchise that is originally
granted but it also that the Board of Supervs
may provide as condition OF such franchise that
the payments of said percentage shall begin at any
time less than FIVE years after the franchise is granted
if such franchise is renewal or substantially re-
newal, of franchise already in existence" 1t thus
appears that in respect the Geary-street renewal
the railroad agents in the board designing
to give away the rights of the public both under the
old law and the charter Such treachery and vii
lainy almost inconceivable.
1t has been denied that there string the prof
fered surrender of the four years residue OF the exist
ing Geary-str franchise. But the Market Street
Railway Company only makes that tender condi-
ton that the franchise be granted and section Of
the act of March IS. 1907, exacts condition pre-
cedent to renewal that the existing franchise Shall
be first surrendered by the holders thereof"

OPPOSED TO {.
EXAMINATIONS

To the Editor of The Call-Dear SIR Al
though a citizen of no note or Importance
socially, I wish to add my feeble protest
to that now being made by so many
against the cruelty and injustice OF the
impending examination of the children or
the public schools. | am the father OF
child who can show years record card
of the highest standard among class OF
sixty scholars. So much so that two
months ago we heard from the teacher
that by uniform attention to and excel
lence in studies this child was already en-
titled to the medal; also that this pupil S
reputation for honesty in study could be
vouched for by all fellow scholars Now,
is this years record to go for nothing?
Is ii Just that a year of honest and sue
cessful study should be weighed in the
balance with a hurried and favored exam
ination of an hour? Especially if a child
is of a retiring disposition and apt to be
Hurried and nervous before strangers
Certainly such a child is not at his best
compared With other children either more
self-compoSed or more forward, or less
honest as to their methods of success
than he is / think this examination
business is a deliberate injustice and that
all parties concerned should cry out
against it and insist that the year, rec
ord shall be the only standard by which
efficiency shall be tested. | remain yours
very respectfully
