the best teachers In town. l am ln- terested to give that teacher better opportunity to do the good work of which she is capable.
 But how about MT COrbett? He lives in my district. Have any of his chil- dren gone to this district school? Isn't the teacher good enough for him? Or is it necessary to import all the chil- dren he can get from other districts in order to make good showing in his own school in Sandy Hook? What in- terest has he in our school? 1 venture to say that if he had not gone on still hunt to prevent this project being car ried out, it would have been consum- mated by this time to the satisfaction of every parent of the children in the two districts.
 To sum up the whole matter: A defi- mite plan was proposed in open district meeting to unite the Middle and North Center districts A committee was appointed to find out the sentiment of l the people in the two districts. He | was offered place on the committee, but refused on the plea of his lack of interest in the subject. That commit tee published the plan in THE BEE, and consulted with large number of voters in both districts, and found no opposition, but general approval. 1t was proposed by myself to call dis trict meeting in August; but it was postponed on account of the hot wealth CT and because the voters were too busy. Again meeting was proposed in September, but it was found too late to hold meeting before the nec- essary 15 days notice before town meeting. It was also regarded as un. necessary, as every one seemed in ia. vor. Meanwhile MT Corbett goes on a st a b2 nv anq gs!s some eI ns o I voters in the two districts, to vote with him in the town meeting to postpone the subject and cuts off discussion His excuse, when asked for, was that the matter had not been sufficiently

second appeal from citizens of Brown
vile, signed by twenty persons Of prom

sheriff, bankers and newspaper publish

! tfWe appeal to you again in our great
necessity. Our position is misunder-
stood. We cannot convince our women
and children that another outbreak may
not occur at any time. Their condi-
ton is deplorable.: They can scarcely
venture out Of their homes and feel
secure. 20 =. Il. : -. -
% We are maintaining heavy guard
and patrol Of armed citizens every
night. We know that the accidental
discharge Of frearm or any overt ACT
of an excited citizen, and our citizens
are fearfully excited, would precipitate
upon us the whole negro force al
Brownsville; and we do not believe that
their officers could restrain or contro
them. There are only five officers pres
ent, and the consequence would be 8
fearful loss of life and probably the
destruction of the city.
"Many of our citizens have removed
and are. removing their families else

left unaided in this condition. ~

Senator Cullom be classed as ''stand-
patter.'' He has seen a great white
light and is ready to join the "revolu-
tionists.
The senator made his attitude
known when replying to ques-
ton as to what he thought Of Speaker
Cannon's speech before the Danville
convention.
CAN in ALL" he said, sit was an
excellent speech. However,, he went
little too stiff on the standpat issue.
We must not lead people to believe that
there is no hope of our ever exchang
ing the tariff schedules, or they might
put us out of office. | do not advocate
wholesale revision and never shall, for
that would be suicidal. Furthermore,
the people do not demand radical action
and they wouldn't stand for it. My
notion about the matter is that few
of the Dingley schedules could be low
cred, and with benefit to our business
interests.

" raiso was wrecked by terrific
series Of earthquakes which be-

causing q general confagration. The
buildings not being burned are totally
destroyed. The'dead and wounded number
thousands. Railroads and telegraphs
are cut off. The people are camping in

Hundreds of bodies are burned in
the ruins and may never be found.
Those who have lost friends and rela
tives are frantically searching for them.
:: Flames Spreading.
The fire is spreading and thru the
lack Of water the fremen can make lit
tie Roadway against it. Very few
buildings in the entire city have es-
capped damage Of some sort. Whole
streets caved in in places and then the
ruins caught fire, making rescue Of the
imprisoned impossible.
The panic is appalling.
Railways are cut of, not wheel d
moving; there is no telegraph COM
nunication to speak of and the whole
city is plunged in darkness, except Tor
the light from the burning ruins.

Galveston, Tex, Aug. 18.-The first
reports Of the Valparaiso earthquake
were not exaggerated, according to the
story which reached here today over
the Mexican cable.
No connected story was possible, but
between the short messages and the
flashes the story Of the cataclysm Is
coming to light. Martial law has been
proclaimed and an effort is being made
to restore order, with little effect so
far. s.552@

several natives, but the report did not
state the nature Of the punishment In
ficted. 2 &Es~.s
e Business Section Laid Waste.
The entire business section Of the
city is in ruins and every building In
the city suffered more or less from the
shocks, and fires in many sections Of
the beautiful city are completing the
devastation.
Shocks have been recurring at in
tervals since Thursday night, and four
or FIVE Of them were severe in the
extreme, Several occurred today and
they tend only to keep the fright Of
the people at fever heat and prevent
the care of the dead and wounded.
5000 to 10000 Dead.
It is utterly impossible to get an
| accurate report of the loss of life and
the injured even in Valparaiso, and
three different messages today gave the
| estimated dead and injured at from
5000 to 10000, but an official stated
conservative estimate would be 900.
