Teachers Are Opposed
to Mrs. Kincaid's
Reappointment.
Principal O'Connor Denies
Circulating Petition in
Her Behalf.

yesterday. 1t was to the effect that pc
tition would be circulated among the
pedagogues for signature, asking Mayor

1t was stated that Principal Joseph
OConnor of the Mission High School

quest, the teachers to append their names
to it.
A detail of the story was that O'Connor
would be backed up in the affair by a yell
low morning journal that had sent him
around the world. Gossip reported that
the yellow journal, having aided Mayor
elect Schmitz in his campaign, would de-
mand the reappointment of Mrs. Kincaid.
Teachers who were seen yesterday were
averse to talking for publication, but
Principal OConnor was willing to be
quoted. He said:
:" This story is made out of whole
cloth. There is not q word of truth in 1t.
l have had absolutely nothing to do with
the reappointment of Mrs. Kincaid.
defy any one to come forward and say
that am connected with any such propo-
sition. 1t is against the rules of the de-
partment and do not know of any such
petition being circulated. I am glad of
this opportunity of making a statement
and wish to go on record in the mat
ter

anxiously the time when Mayor-elect
Schmitz will assume Office. The women

the Seizure Of
Convent

LONDON, Nov. 26.-Costah Anthopulo
Pasha, the Turkish Embassador to Great
Britain, has given out the Portes expla-
nation of the seizure of an Armenian con-
vent in the neighborhood of Mush by

quent surrounding of the convent by the
Turkish troops He says that bandits
have been ravaging the country and ex-
torting money and goods from the Ar
menian population, numbering those who
refused to comply with their demands
These bandits took about sixty women
and children as prisoners to the monas-
terry and Andranik, the leader of the ban
dts, tried to obtain money by threats
from the Armenians of Mush.
Thereupon, in order to protect the wo-
men and children, the imperial authorities
surrounded the monastery with Turkish
troops Some fighting occurred. during
which two brigands and Turkish cor
poral were killed, British and Russian
ConsuIs repaired to the scene and testified
to the correct attitude of the Turkish
soldiers. The brigands kept up a hot
fire from the monastery and being well
provisioned they were able to offer a stout
resistance.
This official statement from the Turkish
ambassador does not explain how the
affair ended, but a dispatch received sub
seouently from Constantinople says that
the brigands fed and the Turkish troops
were withdrawn.

hear the second performance Of
4 "Die Walkure by the Grau COM
a pany at the Grand Opera-house
failed to materialize.
Just why society did not turn out in full
force for the superb presentation puzzleo
the management and the Wagnerltes.
Either grand opera is a social rad, as
Manager Grau himself has said, and the
novelty Of gala nights has worn away, OF
else the indisposition of Eames, Sander
son and Calve has created alarm and the
public fears to put up it's dollars as it did
during the first two weeks of the season.
The Grand Opera-house was a little
more than half filled last night. There
was no elaborate display of dress and
promenading in the lobby and foyer was
confined to the men in the audience.
The artistic work Of Gadski, Schumann-
Heink. Bispham, Reuss-Belce and Van
Dyck was rewarded with considerable ap-
plause and the great "Valkyrie chorus

Sanderson and Calve as per programme
and that seats for the rest of this and next
week would be placed on sale at the box
office of the Opera-hOuSe to-day.
Grau has arranged to present Calve
on Saturday night in Carmen" :"
A representative Of Manager Grau
stated last night that no word had been
received from Ca1ve, but that there was
every hope that she would be back in
San Francisco to sing on Saturday night.
A big house is expected tonight when

Sembrich, Scotti, Tavecchia, Vanni and
