He declared > ttat it was unfair to thus evade tbe respon- t ! ! > jl < ty which bad been .voluntarily assumed an1 charged that tome pesplc were sailing urder falf.o colors by subscribing large sums e.s.1 then refusing to pry the assessments.

Sir. Bneham writes that Dr H. W.

In order' to carry out this plan Mr. Brlghatn says an additional appropriation will be necessary. He says a bill will be Introduced in congress providing for the necessary appropriation and the exposition management IB agfced to tender all possible assistance in securing the passage of this bill. When the assistant secretary of Agriculture pasted through Omaha several weeks ago. after attending the Irrigation convention at Unrein , he expressed himself \ery forclbry as bflng strongly in favor of making the beet sugar Industry a prominent feature of the exhibit to be made by the Agricultural department at the exposition. He said this was one of the most important Industries In this entire section and should be festered by the government In every possible way. His letter to the Department of Exhibits Indicates that he Is working to carry out the Idea then expressed. \inn tsiCA's IMMIC is ooixn n * .

The dome of the Nebraska building will soon be in place , the work of putting up the : trusses for this portion of the building having - j ing been commenced. The roof of the State lldlns will be put on at once , and the in side will be plastered. As the otside ie j tightly covered with sheeting , a coat of plas- j ter on the Inside will make a good storeroom - j room for the grain and other material which ' will be stored there until the time comes to decorate the building. ; Bids for the staff work , plumbing and roofing will be received at the headquarters of thp state commission until November 20 , and will be opened by the commission at Its regular rc > tipp , November 23. No attempt will be made to put the staff covering on the outelde of the building until spring , but the contract will be let at once and the con tractor given plenty of time to make the ornamental portion of the staff work so that It can be put on rapidly in the spring.

It Is possible that the famous 'Hahnemann monument , which will be unveiled the latter part of next year in Washington , will be exhibited at the Transmirsissippl and Inter national Exposition. Dr. Henry SI. Smith. secretary and treasurer of the national as sociation that is erecting the monument , Is in the city en route to his home ir > New York City from California. Sunday he visited the grounds of the exposition with Dr. Hanchett , and expressed his greatest pleasure at the progress made and suggested securing the large bronze monument of Hahnemann to be displayed at next year's exposition Just outside the Art building. The extreme dimensions of the monument are forty-six feet broad by thirty feet deep at the base , and twenty-two feet in height. Its total cost will be S100.000. The monument ment tn be displayed in Washington' will be built of gray granite , with the statue of Hahemann and the bas-reliefs of bronze. The forra is that of the Greek exhedra and Is elliptical in plan. Four steps in front lead up to a platform , at the back of which rists the large superstructure. A sitting status of Hahnemann , heroic in size , on a granite pedestal , is placed in the central portion , which is comprsed of four columns. It Is Dr. Smith's idea to get the Gorham Manu facturing company to exhibit here the bronze statue of Hahnemann and the bas-reliefs which they are making , and to substitute for the granite superstructure now being built at Washington c. close Imitation of staff work of the color and general appearance of granite. Couimlftre M The exective committee of the exposition hold a brief meeting at the Commercial club rooms at noon yesterday.

I Your article cc-nt'nues thus : "Instead of i being a great advertisement of the exposi tion , the sketch belittles the etterprise and magnifies the architects.

Yours truly , WALKER & KIMBALL. { \ OMAHA. Neb. . Nov. 13. 1897Messrs. . ' Walker & Kimball. Omaha Gentlemen. Your letter of November 11 was not handed to me until 3 p. m. yesterday. Should have responded promptly but for the tre mendous pressure of business. Inasmuch as the points -which you raise have been covered by tffie editorial which appeared on the llth Inst. , I do not know whether vou desire further ventilation of the controversy by publication of your letter. You assfrt that 1 knew of the existence of a contract between yourselves and the exposition as embodied in Mr. Kirkendall's letter of March . 1ST. I most emphatic ally deny any knowledge of such contract. As a matter of fact you had no legal on- tract as architects-ln-chlef before Novem ber 11 , 1S9T. The authority granted to Mr. Kirkendall In March. 1M < 7 , wa- . embodied in a resolution adopted by the executive committee Cesi naiirg Mr. Walk r as super vising architect. Nobody in the executive committee excepting Mr. Kirkendall had any knowledge of any letter or contract slimed by him changing the title. Months ago. when my attention was first called to the assumption of the title of archlt = cts-in- chief. I made personal inspection of the records and found no < ? * ianre or authority for change. At various times Ince then the matter Tsas under discussion before the ex ecutive committee and each time Mr. Kirk- endal ] positively assured us that the title was supervising architect This fact is full } ' confirmed by his action two weeks ago , when he introduced a resolution to add the name of Thomas R. Kimball to that of Walker as supervising architects. At that time his attention was directed to the title and he reaffirmed that It was "supervising architects" E\Idently Mr. Kirkendall had forgotten that he had ever-signed the letter In your possession and was not aware of the difference between architects-in-chief and supervising architects when he did sign It. Otnerwlse he must have known that he exceeded his authority and that the con tract was absolutely void so far as the title was concerned. Whit I stated as to the shifting of re- Fponslbllltip is now also confirmed by the position you have taker that your contract did not Include such supervision of the con struction of the buildings as 1 3 usual with architects -where a , superintendent of con struction Is employed , either by them or by the owner of the building for which they furnish tbe plans This. In my judgment. Is a very essential matter It was my be ll f and understanding that as supervising architects you were exercising the usual supervision in conjunction nvith th ° super intendent , whether his name raas Geraldlne , Tamm or any other. Now rnnt we know tf'at you have not considered yourselves bound to do so , iwe want to have It dore and are willing to pay for -h ! service. We must have assurance thaf the buildings will bf constructed In accordance with the plans and specifications accepted by he exposi tion. The employment of Mr. Geraldlne , or anybody eKe , could not and should not re lieve the architects from the responsibility that attaches I still insist that the publication of the blrdseye In Harper's was -Rithout my knowl edge or permission. The letier from Mr. Wattles intimating tlrat sucb a publication could be secured may bo construed as glv- in ? consent , because we forwarded the bird'seye sketch to Mr. Walker. As a mat ter of fact. I did not so regard it. I di rected the return of the sketch because It had never b en adopted by this depart ment. I certainly should not have had it forwarded to Bonon had I known ihat : It as to go to Harper's for publication at the very time when another sketch was being prepared by a special artist- That the Harper s-ketch does belittle the enter prise is manifest by a comparison be ween H nn-1 the official blrd'seye view , which Mr. Walker himself pronounced superb Very respectfully.

The annual report of Superintendent Pearse of the public schools was tubnTHtcd to the Board of Education Itst night. It presents a detailed exposition of the work of the schools during the year , tbe progress that has been made and the marked 'ocre se In member ship , and Includes a concise statement o ! the measures that are required , In his opinion , to maintain the standard of Instruction , that has been previously tna'Qtalned. The sttatlstlc&l features of thp report are givea the first place. Attention is called to the fact that the returns of the enumera tors show a school population of 30,134. This is the largest .number e\er returned , and Is an Increase of 1,525 over that of the previous year. Must of the families to which these additional children belong feem to have come during the last months of the school year ted their number Is not Indicated In the school enrollment. The enrollment Is 16.5SO , or oaly ninety- eight more than were enrolled In the preced ing year. There Is an increase In the aver age dally membership of ISO over the pre ceding year , and an Increase of 122 in the dally Attendance. The membership at the close of the preceding year , June 11 , was 361 greater than at the close of the preceding jear. The fact that the Increase in the average membership exceeded the Increase in the enrollment Is cited to Indicate that each child enrolled remataed In school a grtatrr number of days than a year tgo. It is pointed out that trille the increase in membership is gratifying , it has been ma terially reduced by the continued epidemics of children's diseases during tbe winter.

Referring to the employment of teachers he superintendent says : "The average number of teachers employed has decreased 'rom 340 to 322 and this notwithstanding an ncreased number of pupils. In the High school the change was made by simply re ducing the number of teachers and giving each teacher more classes in a day and a greater number of pupils in a class. The decrease in the number below the High school was brought about by introducing the plan of half-day sessions in the kindergar tens and first grades and requiring teachers in these grades to teach one school duricg : he forenoon and another , composed of dif ferent pupils , in the otternoon. So far as the grades -were concerned the plan was abandoned at tbe middle of the school year. But in the kindergartens it remained < n operation uatil the close of the schools in June. " Ho has this to tay relative to tbe cost of education : "During tbe year Just closed , us In the preceding year , the financial problem has not been easy to deal with. Tbe ut most care has been necessary In expendi tures in order to forestall an Increase o ! debt or a lack of those things indispensable to the maintenance of the schools. The total expenditures , as shown by the report of the secretary , have been JS6LC94 59. A little ad justment Is necessary to gel a basis for com parison. Ten thousand , five hundred and forty-three dollars and forty cents was paid during the year for paving around the High school grounds. This bill was an old one which had been in dispute for several years end formed i o proper part of the year's ex penses. Tbe sum ol $8,009 was placed in the Insutanee fund. No money had been transferred to this fund for some time and only about $3.000 was properly a part of last ye-ar'6 expense. The cost of the enumer ation of tue school population for the past year does not appear amans the year's ex penses and should bef added to them. De ducting the amounts mentioned aboie as paid for paving and 'jnsurance ' and as not properly belonging t > the year's expenses and adding about $900'for making the enu meration , tbe cost of'iaalntalnlng tbe schools for tbe year Is fotrod'-to be $347,05119.

In view of thfpe fac'e he suggests that n large amount of money mlcht be saved by providing some mearia of conveying the pupils of the email schools in thinly settled districts to one of the larger schools , where they -would receive better Instruction al a decreased expense , He contends that the plan Is feasible on Its face and recommends that & practical test be made with one of the email ecboDle , with a view to extending the plan of operation If the results are satisfactory. The necessity of additional room for the High school Is considered at some length. The necrefilty for more spsce and more rult- able accommodations Is emphasized and two methods of relief are suggested. One is to secure plans for a new building , of which one wing might be erected at a probable cost of $109,000. Thte would furnish adequate ca- paclty for eeveral years to come , after -which the remainder of the building could be built. The other plan is to erect branch High school * , one In the northern and tbe other In the southern part of the city. It Is urged , however , that ihls pltn would be more ex pensive than the other , altho'ugh the total number of pupils might be Increased by bringing the High school nearer to their homes. | The report also emphasizes the Importance | i of the manual training department and the I necessity for more adequate provision for Its work.

The Board of Education began operations last night -with the declared intention of transacting its business expedltiously. But the usual parliamentary wrangles intervened and the session was prolonged to the usual hour of adjournment. The flnanc ? committee j jxcsented a brief but significant report relative to the financial condition ot the board. Tbe report showed that the total expenses during the first four months of the school jear had been $78,19.19 , as compared with $19.919.84 during the corresponding period of la&t year , an increase of $18,278.31. The expenses for repairs during the eame period were $19,093.07. as against $5,529.45 last year , an increase of $13.1'C3 2. It was also stated that the secretary esti mated the expenditures o ! the next two months. Including interest on 'bends , at $120- 000 , aad the receipts at $12 000. On Novem ber 1 there was $1C,042.27 on hand , against which warrants amounting to $79,000.80 were outstanding , thus leaving a deficit on that date of $63,564.59. According to the secrc- j tary's estimate tnis deficit would be $171,000 Jrnuary 1 , as compared with a deficit of j $150,733.31which existed at the beginning of 1E97. 1E97.With With this EituaMon in view the committee urged that the rreatest economy must be observed. It contended that the expenses for repairs had been unnecessarily hetvy and must be curtailed. Some of the majority members took um brage at the reference to repairs , but it was explained that the report was not intended to reflect en any member of the board , but simply to call attention to the necessity for retrenchment. The reort was referred back to the fitance committee without further discussion. A communication from the Omaha Turn- versln stated that at the last meeting of the society it had been decided to offer tne free use of its gymnasium and apparatus to the pupils of the High school from 2 to 1 o clock in the afternoon of each dcy. It was stateJ that this offer was made for the purpos ; of popularizing ph > sical trail.jg and to afford Its benefits to the children who had no other opportunity. The matter was referred to inj committee on special instruction. Janitor Suchy of the Castellar school wanted an increas ? of $10 L monin m salary on account of the distance bet ftc the cosl shed and the building , and Janitor Djureen of Kellom asked for $ .5 a month additional.
