HE teachers of the pu schools held a mass-meeting vesterday in the auditorium of the Girls’ High School for the purpose of voicing their pro- test against the meagerness of the appropriation suggested for the main- ! tenance of the schools during the next fiscal year. More than 400 teachers at- tended the meeting. Addresses were de- livered by members of the School Depart- ment and Board of Education, and all those present were in hearty accord with the spirit of the meeting. In calling the meeting to order C. C. Young, president of the San Francisco Teachers’ Club, stated the reasons for the gathering. He then called for nomina- tions for temporary chairman, and Prin- | cipal A. L. Mann of the Denman Gram- { mar School was nominated by acclama- tion. He was warmly greeted when he took the platform and spoke as follows: We are assembled here this afternoon to con- sider a question which is not altogether new to us. We are somewhat familiar with this sit- nation. There is not quite enough money to run the School Department as it should be run. The members of the Board of Education are present by invitation and will give you the exact situation. They have studied the | duty to see that the umpire gives a thorough- matter carefully and will put it before you 80 that you will know. it throughout. It is only mecessary for me to say that this cause ought to enlist all our eymoathies. It is a cause upen which there ought not to be and prob- ably will not be any difference of opinion. The Auditor in the performance of his duty, in accordance with his best lights, has made an estimate. of all the money that can be put In the hands of the Board of Bducation for the next flscal vear and, that estimate is now in the hands of tle Board of Supervisors. DIFFERS FROM THE AUDITOR. The Board of Eudcation holds a. different opinion from the Additor and they hold it very strongly. The question at issue 13 now passed up to the umpire—selected by the charter—to finally decide such questions. It will ‘be our 1y unblased and impartial opinion in favor of the public schools. (Laughter.) Of course, if it were actually mecessary, If thers were no other way out of It, the teachers of San Fran- cisco would contribute one montl's ealary to fit and equip the necessary school houses for the voung. (Laughter) But the people of San Francisco do not wish them to make any such sacrifice.

CARSON, May 2.—Word came to this | city to-day of a remarkable gold strike | in the Silver Peak mines, the property of | the Blairs of New Jersey, and over which | a fortune has been spent in litigation. S. A. Knapp and Dr. Berry, both of Haw- | thorne, brought the news. They report 2 | that the company has had a force of fif- | teen men at work recently, under the di- | rection of Samuel Wasson. In following | a small stringer they came upon a treas- ure-house of gold nuggets. In ome day more than $100,000 was taken out and the “pocket’” has not yielded all of its wealth. For many vears the Silver Peaks mines | have attracted the attention of mining | men and many experts have deciared that | they were the greatest low grade proper- | ties in the world. Charles Lane visited the camp only a few months ago and | made an offer to the Blairs for the claims. | His proposition invelved a time payment, which was declined. The owners demand- €d $750,000 cash, no time, no bond and no John W.

Minister Powell, in San Do- mingo City, reported to Secretary Hay this afternoon that the revolution headed by Vice President Vasquez is gathering headway and that the wires have besn cut. Powell did not request that a warship be sent, but it is likely that a vessel will be directed to proceed to Domiinican waters. Powell, who is also accredited to Haytl, has not forwarded to the State Department a copy of the alleged agree- ment entered into by General Leconte, Minister of the Interior, and a German syndicate by which the latter obtains the exclusive right to locate coaling stations in Haytl. The State Department has not concerned itself about the matter in view of assurances of ithe German Emperor that he has no intention of violating the Moa- roe doctrine. It will be time enough to act, the officials say, when Germany com- mits an overt act. ENGINEER AND FIREMAN DIE IN TRAIN WRECK Thirteen Mail Clerks Sustain Severe Injuries When the Crash Comes.
