CONGER UPHELD
In His Forcing Payment of China's
Boxer Indemnity.

Washington May 12.-The state de-
partment fully sustains TIE action of
Minister Conger and his associate COM
missioner in eiIccting IN agreement
With China for the payment of the in
IDENTITY arising from the Boxer troubles
on the basis of the rate of exchange
in 1907. The contention of the other
powers. parties to the treaty of Pekin,
if sustained would require China to
pay almost double her debt, and Sec
rotary Hay took the position that it was
unfair and inequitable to require that
unfortunate country to make good the
heavy losses caused by the depreciation
OF silver.
AS the United States has stcadfastly
insisted on being treated ON an equality
with other powers, however, it follows
that those powers must either accept
their indemnity on the basis arranged
by Mr.. ConGer or insist upon payment
at the present rate Of exchange, in
which latter event the United States
would also be entitled to her propor
Tomato increase.

SENATOR Villas SPEAKS.
He Does Not Believe that Cleveland
VIII be Candidate.

Madison. Wis, May 12.-Grover
Cleveland, twice President of the
United States, will not be a candidate
for nomination to the Presidency be-
fore the Democratic National Conven-
ton. This is the opinion stated by
William F. Villas. former Senator from
Wisconsin. Postmaster General. and
later Secretary of the Interior in
Cleveland's Cabinet, and beyond ques-
ton one Of the closest political and
personal friends the ex1President has
in the country. While Senator Villas
did not assume to Observation-Disclosures
as knowing the plans of the ex-Presi-
dent. the political relationship of these
two prominent Democrats in the past
ana at the present time has been Of so
cordial and intimate a nature that
Senator Villas, perhaps better than any
other man in the entire West, speaks
with knowledge of the situation Sena-
tor Villas in effect, though he denies
that such is his purpose, is giving to
the public the statement made to him
by The former President that he. MIR.
Cleveland. VIII never again be a candi-
date for the Office.
An intimate acquaintance of years
with President Cleveland leads me to
say that there are few public men who
take keener pleasure in being with and
meeting their friends and the public
generally than he. He is steadfast in
his personal and political friendship.
This is the sole reason he went to St.
Louis said Mr.. Villas.

New Hampshire Discards the

Showed Their Will.

Manchester n. H., May 12.-F.very

Campaigning on the question had
not been energetic, although the no Ii
cense leaders have held a number of
public meetings. As a rule the license
men have contcnted themselves with
preparations to get out the vote, their
use of teams, for instance, in many
places being as active as at a state
or general election.
The II cities of the state gave 4
majority OF more than 1900 for Ii
cenee. The totals were: Yes, 1915;
no. 1874. Manchester headed the list
with a majority of 4123, Portsmouth
coming next with 1865. Nashua gave
1914 and Dover, 1885. The other MA
jorities fell down below 1000, Keene
settling the result by the marrow mar
gin of 50 votes. Concord where on"
of the livclcst fights of the day was
made. voted license by 193.
OF the towns representing the 80
which went for license divided their
vote thus: Yes. 9155: no, 6l6S. The
127 no license towns stood: Yes, 5721;
no, ii .532 With the city figures added
the total is: Yes, 34,234; no, 25,225, or
a majority in tho state, so far rs heard
from Of 5000.

OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
Two Names
Were Filed.

Two names were filed today with
Secretary w. A. Marsh. of the school
board for the office of director of the
school board. The names are DIR. S.
NJ. Bradbury and Samuel N. Wheeler.
In his statement yesterday, which
was a long one and should have said
more than it did, for its length, Mr..
Wheeler says he is not committed to
any person, has made no pledges. etc.
He further states that he believes
that because of the large number of
names on the petition asking him to
stand for recollection that it is an en-
dorsement of the present policy of the
board, which he doubtless means is an
endorsement of the policy of the pres
ent superintendent.
The fact is that the petition which
was signed by quite = number of pat
rons of the school, was carried around
by the janitor of the schools in the
of this city. Further, petition in
this day and generation means very
little. In fact there are people that
make it habit to sign everv petition
that comes along. because they do not
want to offend anybody and it is
cheaper to sign petition and keep the
friendship OF the party or parties, in
terested than to offend them, and then
they can sign the other fellows or
the opponents petition just the same
A great many Deople do this The
Sentinel does not assert that it was
the case in the petition filed for Mr.
Wheeler.
To prove the force of our language
regarding petitions, look at the man
ner in which people of another poll
teal party will sign the petition to
permit another party to enter the
field
Mr.. Wheeler has not said that he wa
not in favor of continuing the present
superintendent in office. If he would
The daily sentinel., 1903-04-25

say that he believes change would
be for the best interests of the
schools, he would have no opposition.
There is demand ON the part of the
people for such a change.
The other candidate is DR.. Brad
bury, who has been more intimately
connected with the school interests of
Grand Ju notion than any other man
for the past ten years man who
has unselfishly devoted more of his
time than any other man of this city.
for the welfare of the schools. will
be Mr.. Wheeler's opponent. DR..
Bradbury because of this long service
and because he believes that a change
would be beneficial, should receieve
the support of the pepole. His OPP
ponent in every other matter, possib-
ly. is an ideal director, but he is com
mitted to the policy of the present su-
perintendent and we believe that pol
icy is inimical to the best interests of
the school,
The Sentinel has no fight to make
ent. who is striving so hard TO perpet-
uate himself. The fight this paper
has to make is against the present pol
icy, the present faddist course of
study and the lack of work in the ele-
mental principles, which obtains in
the public schools of this city. The
Sentinel may not be good judge in
the matter. still it has an opinion and
it does not fear to express it. 1t has
no fight to make about this matter.
1t does not intend to inaugurate one =.
1t does honestly believe. however. that
the schools best interests demand a
change. We say this honestly and
because we are not the only one who
believes so, in this matter
The statements we make in the mat
true. For over fifteen years the writer
and Mr.. Wheeler have been personal
friends and we certainly would not
oppose him as candidate for re-elec-
tion if we did not believe that he
would cast his vote for continue
tion of the present superintendent.
Personally and as a man devoted to
the welfare of the schools. we believe
no better candidate could be elected
than Mr.. Wheeler. but in this in
stance we do not believe alike and
hence our opposition to his election.
If the people desire continuance
of the present policy they will certain
ly elect Mr.. Wheeler, otherwise we
think they should elect DR.. Bradbury
1t will evidently be the man who can
secure the most workers.
