LOS ANGELES, Aug. Sullivan of Boston was cision over Dave Barry of San Fran- co to-night after twenty rounds of fast fighting. The contest was one of the best seen here in a long time. There was not an idle moment during the entire twenty rounds, Barry doing all the forcing, but taking a terrible punishment in almost every round. Sulliva who is a clever fighter and a splendid ring general, did not exert himself to any great extent during the st half of the go and up to the tenth round it looked almost even. During the last half dozen rounds, however, Sullivan cut loose and pun- ished Barry at will with every sort of 23.—“Twin"” given the de- , allow- north- ward the Great of the Weather the begin- season, as ung £ m& the unusual not rainy the red beg been rain- eix weeks, : blow.

Six hundred feet of road has been de- stroyed between Yucca and Haviland. Bridges, large and small, have been carried away and the entire country | between Kingman, Ariz, and The/ Needles, Cal, has been flooded. Water is still rushing over the tracks and | great damage has occurred at mnny;‘ sections. | A terrific storm last night caused | many freshet washouts on the main | line of the Santa Fe. At Haviland, | six miles east of Yucca, where a large | bridge was destroyed yesterday after- noon, the roadbed is flooded to a depth | of seven feet. Westbound overland trains No. 7, the California limited, No. 3 and the Cuth- bert special from Ontario with 200 Ca- nadian business men on a tour of this country, who were visiting for two days at Grand Canvyon, have been tied up at this point with no present pros- pects of moving. The eastbound lim- ited No. 4 and No. $ on the Santa Fe are being held west of Yucca. Two more westbound overland trains ar- rived here at noon and will remain on side tracks until further orders. It is impossible to send trains via Phoenix, as the Southern Pacific has also suffered much damage from the heavy rains which have been falling a great part of the last week. All communication west of Haviland has been cut off. Orders have been sent ea%t to rush gangs of linemen to the scene. The Santa Fe is employing all available help. Another bridge at Powell is reported to have gone out to-day and several hundred feet of road in that vicinity is under water. It will be some time | before the blockade can be cleared and possibly the trains at Ash Fork will be sent east and moved to California by way of Denver. Five westbound overland trains are now stalled here. The only way out of Ash Fork at present is over Maricopa and Phoenix Railroad, then by the Southern Pacific. Five miles of roadbed was washed out near Mari- copa last night. Large gangs are mak- ing repairs in that section. No. 1, which left Ash Fork about noon yes- terday, proceeded only as far as Selig- man, nineteen miles west. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.—After re- ceiving full reports from all parts of the company's lines in Arizona af- fected by the floods, Santa Fe officials admit that the washouts were the most work and stops traffic. Five trains, westbound, are now be- ing held at Ash Fork.

Lang- don Tells of Progress Made in Department Last Year | | | | PR 1 Statistics Show an Increase; in Population and in the Total Number of Pupils Superintendent of Schools Langdon vyesterday filed the fifty-first annual re- port for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, with the Board of Education. The report tells of the progress made in the schools and says in part: i The past year been one of the most harmonious and satisfactory in the recent his- tory of the San Francisco School Department. | Within the year lines of progress have been marked- out 'that Will mean an enormous In- | ,crease In the efficlency of our schools. The Board of Education, through its successful | plans for a bond issue for school purpose: has laid the grounds for a more advantageous administration of the school system, insuring a material equipment that will make better instruction possible. The Superintendent’s of fice has taken upon itself the active and vig- orous supervision of the schools, which s its proper function, »nd has lald out plane for | the improvement of the educational work of the department which will be far-reaching in | their beneficial effects. Already much has been done toward bringing about a flexible uniformity in the schools so that the many | schools in the city of San Francisco may be troly called a system. Improved courses of ! study and better métheds of instruction have been lald out so that the school system may become the best that careful supervision can make ft. Upon the past vear's educational work, which has contributed to the above ends, your Superintendent now desires to report. CHANGE IN TEXT BOOKS. | 1 The changes In State textbooks, proposed and partly éarried into effect, have made some changes in our courses of study absolutely essential. The distribution of material mus. | be made to correspond to the arrangement ot | subject matter in the texts. In consequence | the Superintendent’s office is now at work in | the preparation of new courses of study in those subjects in which the texts have been | | adopted. Experience with the course of study | that has been In effsct during the past four years shows that some changes are neces- sary. While the splrit of the old course Is | being kept, the new courses of study, already | | roughly outlined, will reduce the work, make | it more definite, and finally distribute the ma- | | terial more evenly through the grades. | | During the past year considerable progress | | has been made in providing special instruction | for sveclal classes of chiliren who cannot be handled effectively in the ordinary class- | room. Two ungraded classes have been es- | | tablished, the first at the Washington School and the second at the Hancock School. The | work of these classes in bringing up back- | ward children has proven most efficient, and one such class ehould be attached to each large school in the city as soon as funds are ilable. | | There is an evil, which careful classification may improve. With the seml- | annual promotion the tendemcy has been for | | a class to be assigned a new teacher every | | six months—a wasteful process, for the te er and the chiliren lose time in getting s flciently acquainted for the purposes of serious | work. Many principals have remedied this | weakness of their own initiative, but the cen- tral office urges the general practice that | teachers be allowed to keep the same classes | at least through the A and B grades of the year's work. ! EXHIBITS AT FAIR. | Two exhibits of educational work, prepared under the direction of Deputy Superintendent | Macurda, were sent to the Louisiana Exposi- | tlon at St. Louis One was sent to the Califor- | | nla Departmen: . the Educational building and | represented work In every school subject in | every grade and from every school. Another exhibit was sent to the Sap Francisco Munici pal building, and included work from one pri- mary, one grammar, one high and one evening school. The work was arranged so as to make | it truly representiative of the instruction given however, and 435 women. | There are twenty-nine male and sixty-one female principals without classes; two super- | visors of music; two supervisors of drawing; | five of manual training; four of cookery and two of physical cultur This anakes a total of 11» men and 975 women in the actual teaching force of the city. Duripg the year thiriy-three teachers re- signed, eight retired under the annuity act and tbree died. Ninety-three teachers were elected to the de- partment. Thereceipts of the School Department | for the fiscal year 1903-1904 were $1,428,- 319 68, agalnst $1,392,353 91 for 1902-1903. | | The population of the city Is estimated | | at 435,000, against 397,300 for 1903. e | NOTORIOUS “KID” EAGAN'S HACK LICENSE REVOKED Joseph Eagan had his license re- voked last night by the Board of Po- | lice Commissioners. Eagan is the| notorious union man who is mixed up | in several assaults on non-union men. Policeman Thomas H. Dowd was, fined $200, $100 on a charge of intoxi- | cation and making an unlawful arrest 1and $100 on failure to report for duty. The decision in the Dowd case was | reached after three weeks by com- | promise between the Commissioners. | Prior to this meeting Commissioners | Hutton and Howell had twice voted to dismiss the man from the force. Reagan and Drinkhouse held out for the lighter punishment and last night the case was disposed of. Policeman Thomas S. Naylor was| found guilty of being asleep on duty and late for drill. He was fined $100 on the first charge and $10 on the sec- ond. Naylor’s main defense was In- somnia, superinduced by family troubles. He was told not to appear before the board again on any charge or he would be dismissed from the force. A liquor license was granted Samuel Bernhard. Bernhard will run the Hoffman cafe at Second and Market street. —_—— Hit Him With a Bottle, Larry Quigley recelved treatment at the Emergency Hospital at an early hour yesterday morning for a wound on his head, caused by coming in con- tact with a whisky bottle with a Bar<| bary Coast nymph at the business end of it. Quigley left his room at the Prescott House and mingled among the black butterflies on Pacific street, where one of them found fault with his speed in reaching into his pocket for coin for treats. She used t?e bottle to accelerate his movements, which it did by sending him to the Central Emergency Hospital in an ambulance. —— e SINGER PLEADS GUILTY.—Henry Stnger pleaded gullty in Judge Lawlor's court yester- day to three charges of burglary. He walved time for sentence and the Judge ordered him to be confined in San Quentin for the term of three years on h charge, the sentences to run ccneurrently.

The rare privilege of hearing the most ancient of ancient musical com- positions was afforded a large audi- ence, composed of literary men and | women, musical folks and many clergymen, last night at the Academy of Sciences when William Ap Madoc | voiced the beautiful harp melodies of Wales. Ap Madoc is musical director of the | Chicago High schools and adjudicator | of the World's Fair choral contests at | St. Louis. He is a master interpreter of poetry, revels in the plaintive and martial airs of Wales and he has the distinction of having been the dis- coverer of Cambrian melodies centuries old. Last night he told the story of the wonderful old masterpieces and he sang one, “The Disputing Couple,” said to have been written before the birth of Christ. Another ancient song, | “The Black Monk,” bearing the date | of 1090, and a fourteenth century song, “Sands o’ Dee,” with its plaintive, weird story, held the audience spell- bound during the singing. Ap Madoc was assisted by Emlyn Lewys, whose accompaniments were wonderful aids to the perfect rendition of the marvelous melodies. Before departing the audience sang the Welsh national anthem, “Land of My Fathers,” both in Welsh and Eng- lish. —_——————— DINNER IS GIVEN NEW GRAND PRESIDENT Members of the Young Ladies’ Insti- . tute Pay Tribute to Miss Elisa- beth Terry.
