ments yesterday in the Eighth ward case

A petition from T. c. Sharp was pre-
sented, asking that his son be changed
from Clay to Washington school, owing
TO disagreeable associations III this dis
triCt 1t was considered an uncom-
mon request and for this reason DR..
Birney took the floor and stated that
the boys father had explained to him
that while he was now living on the
line dividing the two districts, he
would likely move into Washington
shortly, and thought that his son
could be governed better in this par
ticular school. Mr. Maxwell thought
the fathers representations were rea-
sonable, but the petition showed no
grounds for the board to act. He made
a motion to this effect, which carried,
and the petition, was laid on the table.
An application was received from
Mary l.. Yaeger, of the Eighth ward,
for position in the High school. and
was referred to the committee on teach
ers and schools.
The German language committee re-
ported having visited the German de-
partment of the schools and found it
in very favorable condition. They
also recommended the following named
teachers, all of whom were confirmed:
Lena Reigel, for High and Clay
schools.
Anna Loos, for Center and Webster
schools.
Mrs. F. A. Bertschy, for Richie
school.
T. X. Krauter, for Union and Lincoln

Conger gives the list OF shat brave lit
tie band of American marines who fell
in defense OF the legation. II is evil
dent that the minister is informed Of
the approach of the allied column as
ne says nearing allied forces give us
hope. The two dispatches to General
Cnaffee sent on the 18th and 14Ih IN
Stants, were sent also in duplicate TO
Minister Conger so that he is well adj
vised by this time, of the movements
OF the troops and of General Charles
authority to negotiate at the walls OF
Pekin.
Beyond the important diplomatic ex-
changes of the day and the receipt of
the Conger message the chief inter-
est centered in
The Exact Whereabouts
of the allied armies From japanese
sources came the most advanced infor-
nation, first in the Toxic advices that
Tung Chow had been occupied, and
later in the day in an official despatch
from the Japanes foreign Office to
Minister Takahira confirming this re-
port The minister promptly COM
municated his information To the De-
by the officials including the Secretary
Of War, as the latest and most anthem
tic news of the Whereabouts of the re-
relief column. Some days had elapsed
however, since this occupation of
Tung Chow. and there had been ample
time to cover the twelve miles between
that place and Pekin. Whether the al
lied forces actually were there was the
all-absorbing question on which every
one ins official and in unofficial life
awaited word with keen anxiety. Sec
rotary Root was satisfied that Tung
Chow
Has Been Left Behind,
and this was one of the reasons why
it was regarded as futile to consider Ii
Hung Chang's proposition for an
armistice at Tung Chow.
A despatch was received during the
day from Admiral Remey, conveying
the Japanese report OF the occupation
of Tung Chow and adding the state
ment also on japanese authority that
the attack on Pekin was expected To
be made yesterday A despatch was
sent to General Chaffee, but its con-
tents were not made public Although
the officials regarded il as unimport-
ant, it doubtless made the American
commander aware OF the fact that
there was no deviation in the Ameri-
can attitude. A despatch was also sent
to Minister Conger, advisory in char
acter, giving him the benefit OF the
latest developments.
