WANT FIRST
WARD SITE.
Chamber Of Commerce Still In
sisis that King Street is No
Place for a School.
THE ARGUMENTS USED.
Business Men Talk About the Mayors
Accusation that the First Ward was
Merely a Real Estate 0eaI-Do Not Like
Three Schools Placed Togeiher--Com-
mittee Continued.

The Chamber of Commerce is still
of tho opinion that the new public
school should go south of Gordon
street. The matter was again dis
cussed at the meeting last night.
Some of the members seemed to
think it was foregone conclusion
that, as the Mayor considered the
whole scheme mere real estate deal,
and as he held the balance of power
in favor of the King street site, the
building would go there. IG was
suggested that it was perfectly natural
for real estate men to show an in
terest as long as the city was in the
market to buy. 1t would be the same
with lumber merchant or brick
manufacturer. They all would
naturally show an interest. 1t was
argued .that.tho more real estate men
there were to show an interest the
better it would be for the city.
The one great point brough out was
the crowding of three schools, with
about 200 children, within about
300 feetfof each other This location
being so near the business section was
dwelt upon, the danger of m
epidemic and fire were also brought
out. 1t was the sense of the meeting
That it would be sad mistake te
have the school in King street. The
committee having the matter in
charge was continued to further en-.
deavor to get the new school in the
first ward.
Alderman Pfeiffer assured the board
that the sidewalk matter had moi
been dropped. People were given q
reasonable time to comply with the
request of the street commissioners.
If the repairs are not made. the city
will proceed to do the work.
The building code matter went over
for another meeting.
The members expressed qualification
at the way the street paving matter
is progressing.
The name of Thomas Redhing was
proposed for membership.

APPROPR|AT TONS FOR
SCHOOLS ARE VOID.
New State Law Found Whereby the School Appro-
priations Must Be Made Between May 10 and
June Twill Present New Budget to Board
of Estimate.

As result of an Investigation of
the law providing for boards Of school
estimate and fixing their duties, the
Board of Education, last night, drew
up new schedule Of the money need
ed necessary for the support of the
several departments of the schools
during the coming year.
This section of the statutes provides
that the school year shall commence
July /, and that the appropriations
for the ensuing year shall be made
between May 15 and June 1 of the
previous year. This makes the ap-
preparations fixed in February last in
valid and the new table will be sub
mitted to the Board Of Estimate in
time for action before June l.
Another result of the reading of this
statute was the rescission by the
Board Of Education, last night, Of
the resolution passed OIL February 16,
fixing the school year at nine months,
and requiring the pupils TO purchase
their own paper and supplies. A new
resolution was passed, fixing q ten
month school year, as heretofore. and
also providing for the purchase by the
board of the paper and supplies, as
previously.
The new schedule of appropriations
to be asked for is practically the same
as the former, but, as some Of the
money has been spent, only balances
will be asked for this time. The re-
auseted 81, 500 for o nigh shcool was
added, however. The table of amounts

FIGHTING w ASFIERCE
AND JAPS FOUGHT DIES.
PERATELY FOR POSSESSION
OF 2O3-METER HILL.

Toxic, Dec. 5.-The diary of the
fighting around 203-Meter hill, which
is published in the Japanese papers,
describes the terrible losses involved
in the storming of the Russian posi-
ton from dawn of Nov. % till II
o'clock in the forenoon of that day. A
Russian counter attack began at dawn
OH Nov. 20, and was SO furiOusly
pushed that the Japanese were COM
PEELED to retire from both sides of the
hill into the valley. The attack was
renewed the morning of Nov. go,
when all the Japanese reserves came
up" from the southwestern corner;
but these assailants only advanced
thirty meters by o'clock, so stub
born was the resistance and the Japa-
nese suffered severe losses. Then,
being reinforced, the Japanese main
tanned the struggle with terrible
earnestness. Furious charges were
made and the Russians
were compelled gradually to retire.
The southwestern summit of the hill
was not occupied until o'clock in the
evening and the northwestern summit
not until o'clock. During the night
six Russian counter attacks were re-
pulsed One, which was launched at
4 o'clock in the morning, was charac-
terized by several bayonet attacks,
and vas persisted in until noon of Dec.
1, when. the hopelessness of the at
tempts becoming evident, the Rus
SANS retired.
