ALEXANDRIA Va, april s--The city
school board held its regular meeting
In the Peabody Building last night and
there were present Aessrs. l. II. ThOmp-
son, a. w. Thomson, Yates, Carne, Har-
rison. and Strauss. Ex-MayOr Henry
Strauss was called TO the chair, and Mr..
Harrison, Of the committee on school
houses and furniture. reported that the
lowest bid for the making Of improve
ments at the Peabody Building exceed
ed the estimate and appropriation. The
hre-escapes would cost largely IN excess
OF the amount estimated for them, and
on his motion il was directed that ap-
plication be made TO the city council
for $3.50.
Tie superintendent stated that since
his recovery from Illness he had visited
order and doing good work. Circulars
in relation 70 the new list Of books for
use in the public schools having been
distributed. the following was Unani-
nOusly adopted:
Resolved, That as the school board
Ot Alexandria has heretofore declared
that IN its opinion the State board Of
education should provide for uniformity
in school books so as 10 reduce their
cost 10 a minimum; and that needless
changes in school books make Oppres-
siVe taEatiOn-it assures the people Of
Alexandria that the school books now
used wlll be continued in use. except
SC far as the board viii be compelled to
change them by a regulation Of the
State board"

TAMMANY HALL STILL
LOYAL TO CLEVELAND
Parker Men Think 1t Ruse to Bring Out Mcclellan as an
Available Dark Horse

that Murphy and Tammany Hall viii
keen ND the fight against Judge Parker
even after the New York convention in
structs its delegates to the National
Convention to vote for him. Murphy is
said to believe. with apparently good
reason that no candidate viii have n
tvo-tbirds majority in the convention,
and that in the struggle which Will en-
sue there may perhaps be good
chance FOR dark horse, and that dark
horse the Hon. George q. Mcclellan.
I'm Bleeding Kansas
whats the matter with Kansas?' Is
a question which the Democrats have
borrowed from their political opponents
and are using it to inquire into the
meaning Of the action or the Democratic
convention yesterday in the Sunhower
State. Kansas yesterday elected twenty
delegates TO the Democratic National
Convention and sent them off without
instructions TO vote for any person in
particular for the nomination for PTesi-
dent.
Both the Hearst men and the Parker
men claim a victory in the action OF the
conV entiOn. The facts as reported show
that the Hearst men at first set out to
nave a resolution adopted to pledge the
delegates to Hearst. but that this vas
met with the objection that it would be
contrary to precedent to send 4 Kansas
delegation TO a Democratic national
convention instructed. The Hearst men
were not strong enough TO overcome this
precedent, and, accordingly, compro-
missed upon n resolution, not indorsing
Mr.. Hearst for the nomination, but
l.
TO relieve the "downtrod." and com
mending his example 10 good Demo-
Gratis" even ywhere.
This resolution was adopted, and two
OF the six delegates at Inrge are avOwed
Hearst men. BY reason Of the fact that
Kansas elects one Representative-at-
large to Congress it has six delegates
at-large instead of four. as in other
States. Six of the twenty delegates. all
told, are supporters Of Hearst, while It
is said that majority of the remaining
fourteen have a leaning TO Judge Par
ker. but are willing to vote for any good
man whom the Eastern Democrats viii
agree upon.
The Hearst men are said to be at
tempting such a coup as was accom-
p'ished by his friends in Rhode Island
"hele' aLIeF the delegates had Deen Sc
iected, pledges were obtained from six
Of them 10 support Hearst. thereby
binding the entire eight from the State
II these six Hearst men in Kansas can
get five others u pledge themselves 70
Hearst they win be able to enforce the
unit rule and throw the entire twenty
votes 10 Hearst in the convention.
The Parker men contend that the fail
ura TO instruct for Hearst is a victory
for Parker, and there the case stands.
and the question recurs, What's the
matter with Kansas"

DOT CONTEST HAS
PUBLIC GUESSING
Not the ''Cinch" at First
Supposed.
RE-C0UNTS SHOW ERRORS
First Prize Winner May Yet Be Found
Among Those Who Report
Tomorrow.
RE-COUNTS SHOW ERRORS

Whatever has been the effect of The
Times dot-counting contest upon the
public generally, it is pretty safe to pre-
dict that figuring out how many specks
the chart contains Will keep more people
home tonight than any other one in
duence
This IS the last evening before the
closing day Of the Creates newspaper
contest which has ever been conducted
in Washington, and tomorrow promises
TO be the greatest day OF that contest.
No Easy Mark"
AT the outset great mary thought
the dot chart an easy mark" and sent
in answers without attempting to verify
their figures. Some Of these found a
good deal of amusement In counting.
and by and by began 10 count again. The
second effort. which was begun merely
for the fun they could get out OF 1t. be-
cause, Of course. there could be no mis-
take in the count" developed a little de-
gree Of uncertainty as 70 the absolute
accuracy of that first count
The second count was not intended TO
take the place of the first; II was
simply 10 while away an hour or two.
ana was carelessly made. But the fact
that II did not tally exactly with the
IfSt result had Its effect, and the third
count was made with more attention
to careful effort. When this showed
still different result. those who had
gone this far into the matter began to
appreciate that the proposition was
something more than they had az first
thought and the people who will rep
resent the majority of those who will
stay home tonight to count dots Will be
those who have made three or more
counts. and have discovered that the
more counts one makes the greater Is
the number Of results he gets.
The Last Count.
The hour Of closing the contest is p
O'Clock tomorrow night AS previously
stated. the estimate taken IN at mid
night viii be regarded the last re-
ceived. Should any people be in line
al that hour. who had taken their posi-
ton before y O'Clock, but were unable
to get up to the desk. their counts viii
be accepted. but numbered behind those
received between L:45 o'clock and mid
night.
Any one Of these may win a prize, as
well as those put in between the hours
mentioned.

IN spite Of the fact that ex-President
