Helsingfors, Finland, Aug. 1.-The
fighting between the mutineers and
the loyal troops was waged during
most of the past night. Cainonade
was heavy, the firing of the guns fur
nishing an awe-inspIring spectacle to
the thousands lining the points of
vantage on observatory hill.
The loyal minority seemed to COM
mand the forts on NichOIai island,
which was engaged in duel with
Sandhamms formidable masked bat
teries At 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning they were still exchanging
broadsides at ten minute intervals.
The victims transported to Helsing-
fors numbered less than fifty, of
whom fifteen are dead, but thus far
the number of killed or wounded in
the Seaborg hospitals has not been
ascertained.
Order has been restored at Skat-
tuddin island, where 10 sailors and
IL civilians have been disarmed.
From the civilian point of view, the
local situation is easier. No cruis-
ers are visible. Troops are expect
ed here but the destruction of the
bridge near Rihima Eli railroad sta
ton and the tearing UP of the per
manent way at several points, delays
the arrival of re-inforcements. The
town is quiet, and business is pro-
ceeding, but the workmen. are on
strike.
The diet at a sitting late Tuesday
night issued an earnest warning to
the population to abstain from par
ticipation in acts, which might posi-
bly, gravely affect the whole coun-
try
The revolt it is pointed out, oc-
CURED on the anniversary of a min
ing disaster, which was caused by the
recklessness Of some officer, and re
suited in the loss of a dozen of lives.
Copies of the Viborg manifesto of
the outlawed parliament are being dis
tributed among the Cossacks, who
quietly put them in their pockets.
A naval squadron, including the
battleship Slava, is reported to have
sailed from RevaI this afternoon for
Seaborg.
The telegraph building here has
been ruined, and the barracks and ca
thedral have been badly damaged by
the fire of the 11-inch guns. The
numbers of wounded and killed, have
probably been over estimated.
The socialists are on the alert and
the town people are in fear of a
cannonade if the naval squadron ar
rives here.
There was panic all day long on
Tuesday among the. summer resi-
dents on the islands of the archipel-
ago owing to the fact that stray bull
lets, which caused a number of cas-
ualties, both on the islands and in the
city, dropping about.
A man sitting on a veranda of the
yacht club was mortally wounded and
a servant girl was killed.
For more than week Russian rev
olutionists have been working among
the troops, distributing the Viborg and
Group of Toll manifestos, and it is
reported that on Sunday 1900 soldiers
took an oath to fight on the side of
the people.

Helsingfors, Finland, Aug. 1.-The
news of the revolt has caused the
greatest excitement at Cronstadt, espe
cially in view of the report that mu
tiny of the crews of the warships was
proceeding at Cronstadt and that the
reyolutionists were working hard tc
persuade the troops there to mutiny
and refuse to fire on the warships
Precautions were hastily taken by
the authorities at Cronstadt. The
breech blocks of the guns on board
some of the warships were removed
while detachments Of troops were dis
patched on board other ships.

To the Honorable Board of School Conn.,
naissioners.
l herewith submit the report of the
finances of the School Board for the fs-
cal year ending July 31st 1906 The stste-
ment of receipts shows that we received
from the State $28, 1858 33 which was
81, ,3S3 O9 less than the sum received for
the previous year. The County Com
missioners levied$23 500 for white schools
and 81 500 for colored schools. They also
made an extra appropriation of $4,000
Our expenditures were very heavy. As
compared with the previous year we
spent So, 149. 10 more in teachers salaries
Ten new teachers were employed, and as
the schools were kept open longer, the
maximum salary was SAB and the min
imum 1891 20 and increase to each teacher
of about IS. For repairs we spent 1884 55
more than in the previous year; and for
furniture $765 AZ more. The interest on
the Hyattsville school bonds-a new item
Of expense was $500; and $29414, paid
for interest on said bonds in the previous
year out of the building fund, was return
ed to said fund
We spent on colored schools $9,971 "a
and paid on Indebtedness of same 81, ,O5O,
making a total outlay of $1O,021.34 as
compared with $S, 23o 53 spent the year
previous, but the schools were open one
month longer, or for eight months. The
Bladensburg School lot was sold for
1920, but only cash payment of $50 has
been made.
The work in the schools, with few ex-
ceptions, has been good. I was able dur
ing the past year to devote more time to
supervision, but the clerical work of the
Superintendent's office has greatly in
creased in recent years.
There should be readjustment OF
teachers salaries. The principals of our
large schools should receive more pay.
Teachers, who hold 1st grade certificates
and who have had experience, deserve
and should receive more compensation
than those who are just beginning to
teach and who may be so fortunate as to
secure appointment to large school2. This
is a defect in the system Of paying
teachers which has been in operation in
this county for so many years.
Respectfully submitted

/ County Superintendent.

OF W.A.WHlTE
Emporia Editor Gives a Pleasing
Speech at the salina University.

The principal feature at the opening
Of the Wesleyan university this morn
ing was the address by William Alien
White of Emporia. The chapel at the
university was filled to its seating ca
pacity, many from the city being pres
ent to hear the disttng guished editor Mr..
White was given a hearty reception
when he was introduced by President
Roach He read his manuscript, be-
cause he stated that he desired to be
accurate in his remarks on the theme
he had selected, which was The Part
nership Of Society"
It was a great speech. Mr. White has
been writing some editorials on this
theme recently but in his speech today
he went into the subject in an exhaus-
tive manner. and to make it more in
teresting. it was Whites manner. He
lost no time in Introductory remarks,
but devoted his entire time to a discus
sion of his topic. His speech was time
ly, because he touched upon the great
social problem of the day. He pointed
out the fallacy of socialism, but on the
other hand he showed the evil Of con-
centrated wealth.
The law of self preservation" he de-
cIared, lis a natural instinct, but the
law of the preservation of the race Is
a nobler calling, and it is this law that
has given civilization its greatest
achievement
The faculty of the university is to be
congratulated on securing Mr. White
for the address to the students. No more
important subject could have been pre-
sented this morning, and no one could
have treated the subject SO well.
Following the address by Mr.. White
President Roach introduced E. T. Fair
child of Ellsworth, Republican candidate
for state superintendent of public IN
struction, who came down from Els
worth last night and remained over to
hear Mr. Whites address. Mr.. Fairchild
paid a handsome compliment to DR..
Schuyler of the Wesleyan faculty, and
gave the students some valuable advice
as to the proper ideals and ambitions Of
life.=Salina Journal.

ADAMS ONCE MORE.
Colorado Democrats VIII Try Again to
Make Him Governor.

Denver. Col. Sept 1s.-After spending
two days in consideration OF the contests,
the principal one being that from Denver
City, and county. the Democratic state
convention today began the naming OF a
state ticket. The endorsement given Alva
Adams Of Pueblo for denomination as
candidate for governor in the platform
adopted late last night made 1t certain
that he would be chosen to head the
ticket There we're contests for nearly
all the remaining offices. and although
the disposition was to give every candi-
date a fair show, there was an evident
desire on the part of the delegates to
finish the business as rapidly as possible
and adjourn. The only opponent TO Ad-
ans, who has been considered at all
was County Judge Ben B. Lindsey Of
Denver. but the semi-official announce
ment made today that he would run in
dependently, put him out of the running
in the Democratic convention. The Pat
terson delegation, which was seated by
an overwhelming vote yesterday, Occu-
pied the seats assigned to Denver today.

Odessa, Sept. 13.-Anti-Jewish agita-

houses and telegraph poles throughout
this city have been plastered with proc
lamations issued by the union of Rus
sian people urging patriots to combine
to exterminate the Jews. This action
has aroused grave apprehension among
the peacefully inclined. both Jews ana
Christians.
It is reported here that the Jewish
town OF Koopin, in the district of
Kamenetz, has been burned down by
peasants from the surrounding country.
Some Of the inhabitants are said to have
been killed IN flight, while many perish

Wire Working TO Siedlce.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 13.-The resurap-
tion of telegraphic communication with
Siedlce has enabled the press of St
Petersburg for the first time to present
a picture Of the conditions in the raw
aged town As in the case of the massa-
ere at Bialystolk, later messages greatly
reduce the number of dead from that
given in early reports, The property
losses, however, 'front.' the ferry and Gu
pidity Of the mob and the destruction
by bombardment and subsequent fire
are placed higher, running to 5000, ,000
Although it is said officially A persons
were killed, correspondents enumerate
81 corpses, mostly of Jews. which have
been gathered on the streets, in houses
and in various hospitals for burial The
number Of corpses buried privately or
consumed in burning buildings may add
another score to this number.
A pitiful feature Of the excesseS was
the death from thirst of many wounded
persons who were abandoned by their
friends in houses from which the people
were forced to flee for their lives. Fire
men are searching deserted houseS for
bodies There is reason to believe that
this attack on the Jews is traceable to
the murder of an official on August q
and the events of Saturday supplied the
necessary spark to inflame the passions
of the soldiers.
