FLAT CONTRADICTION.
jj The. country will be surprised at the
statement of Minister Young, of China,
that the Chinese Government is solicitous
in the matter of preventing the emigration
of it- subjects to America. Mr. Young
certainly has been deceived in this matter.
It cannot he that till other witnesses, and
their name is legion, have misstated the
facts, when they relate that the imperial
Government derives large revenue. * from
the business of shipping Chinese slaves
out of ' tuna This tact lias been
testified to so frequently, and by such wit
nesses, us to make it as much a proven fact
a, any other fact capable of being estab
lished by human testimony. Mr. Young,
however, leaves a loophole in his testimony
that reveals tic cunning of the Chinese
rulers, ami enables them to say that their
laws prohibit immigration, while, at the
same time, they gather in the tax levied
for the privilege of exporting Chinese
laborers. He says: ••Tin- laws of Canton
explicitly prohibit Chinese from immigrat
ing, but they do not prevent them from
going to Hongkong, which is only a seven
hours' ride down the river." Hongkong
is a British possession, as much so as any
other of her colonial dependencies, and
more completely and immediately under
control of the Crown ''can any other Eng
lish possession abroad. The laws of Can
ton, therefore, do not, according to Mr.
Young's own statement, prohibit immigra
tion, else they would stop the loophole
that tiie Government '.now, to exist a:
i lon.'
The flat contradiction between the state
ments of Mr. Young and Dr. Latham (the
Litter's important testimony appearing in
the i:. . I-. i'-l n;...s of Saturday last) are
compared by the San Francisco Bulletin in
its issue of yesterday, and the verdict
given in favor of Dr. Latham, whose tes
timony is corroborated by all the leading
authorities on China. The truth is that
our representatives in China seldom breathe
outside the official atmosphere, and very
rarely get dnwn to the bottom facts regard
ing < him-.-.' civilization. As an instance,
it is testified that a certain well-informed
shipmaster, being in one of the chief
/.I - - • t. i • r- -. i
Chinese cities, called upon a certain United
States representative of high rank. The
question ■■! Chinese slavery came up.
* *
" It doe.s not exist," said the official.
Ji ll docs exist," retorted the skipper,
tght iiere, tinder your nose, and ;on do
it."
What do you mean, sir?"
Come to this window, Do you see
t- row of children over there beside
that hut, and the old woman sitting in
their midst '.'"
" Certainly. I've seen such everyday."
" Well, they are all slaves, and for sale,
and a foreigner may buy and take away, if
he wishes.",.'
"Absurd."
•' I'll wager yon an eagle that 'tis so ;
. let us try it."
["hereupon the trio went over to the
spot.
" Whose children are these ?"
; ' Mine, ' replied the woman,
" Y. 11l own?"
" 1 bought them. Will you buy?"
•• Would you sell them ""
" 1 keep them for sale.'
■'Wh:;'. i- the prii c .'"
"This little I.i: of boy (3 years), "Jo.
This little piece of girl {i years), $10.
This big piece of girl, she virgin (12yeai .
I must get $90 for. She big pie girl,
worth much more."
Thereupon one of the smaller children
put up its hands and besought the official
to buy it and take it to his home, and the
hag added her entreaties, lt scarcely need
be added that the representative of a Gov
ernment that abhors all forms of slavery,
not only declined to buy, hut confessed
that he had learned more in that tin
minutes than in sonic years of previous
service. let Mr. lounj would have us
believe that tlie Chinese Government dis
courages tin' deportation of its subject -.
It really begin to look as if Ihe Trustees*
s'auuld adopt some means to protect our
' polico force. Here now the Chief him

licemen are burglarized, officers attempting

Reassembling of the ISritlsh Parliament.
London, July Oth. — Parliament reas
sembled to-day.
In the House of Commons, Bradlaugh';
escorted by Labouchere and Burt—
Radicals — to the table with the
purpose of taking the oath. To this Sir Mi
chael Hicks-Beach, Chancellor of the Ex
chequer, interposed an objection. He said
the House was strongly of the feeling that
Rradlaugh should not be allowed to go
through the form of taking the oath. He
then moved that Bradlaugh be refused
permission to swear, and that the Sergeant
at-Arms be directed to exclude him from
the precincts of the House, unless he en
gaged not to disturb the proceedings of the
House. '< ' : y' 'y'yy'y {>■■"'.:
Charles Henry Hopwood '.advanced lib
eral) moved an amendment in favor of
legislating as quickly as possible respecting
oaths of office.
Sir Will Lamson (Radical) seconded
the motion.
Mr. Gladstone said lie held stronger
views on the question of principle, baliev
ing that the House had acted unconstitu
tionally and illegally. [Liberal cheers.]
Ilc would support Mr. Hopwood. It was
the duty of the House to legislate in the
direction of removing an existing griev
ance. The present Parliament throughout
had grcviously wronged the electors of
Northampton. It was therefore the duty j
of the House to redress that serious wrong. '
[Cheers.] Mr. Gladstone thought, how
ever, that the scope of the amendment
should be narrower iii dealing with the
case before them. ; : ; '-■
The motion of Hicks-Beach was adopted
by a vote of 20:; to 219.
After the vote had been taken, Mr. Brad
laugh advanced to the table and said he
would obey the Speaker's orders, and with
draw. He appealed to the various con
slituences against the injustice done him;
bowed and withdrew from the House.
Sir Michael-Hicks Beach, in reply to Mr.
Labouchere, said no communication had
been received irom Russia with regard to
tie- reported utterance of Sir Randolph
Churchill, that "Russia ims tricked, de
ceived and lied to us as only Russia can."
Sir Randolph, he added, does not admit
that bis speech was accurately quoted.
The House then entered into a Commit
tee of Supply.
Parnell has recalled from Ireland all his
followers, to be present iii the Commons
this evening, when the debate upon the
right of Bradlaugh to take the oath is to
take place.
Salisbury Outlines the Policy of His Gov
ernment,
London, July Gth. — In the House of
Lords this afternoon Salisbury made a
statement to the effect thut he would con
tinue the policy adopted by Gladstone in
regard to negotiations with Russia for the
settlement of the frontier of Afghani-tan.
Salisbury, in moving an adjournment of
the House, said it would he convenient to
explain the condition of one or two impor
tant questions which greatly affect the for
eign affairs and. position of England. A
matter of the gravest importance was the
recent negotiation with Russia in regard to
the frontier of Afghanistan. The business
of the Government was not to consider or
comment on the past. It was their busi
ness to take up the policy of their prede
, ssorsand conduct it tonn issue consistent
with public interest, but it was not their
business to enter into any controversy re
garding that policy. It must be observed
that there were wry clear restrictions upon
the action of tbe present Government, aris
ing from the fact -bat they bad assumed
oflice at a time when certain matter- were
drawing near an end. the result being
that many pledges were given, and
the first duty of any Government was
to see that the pledge's which an English
Government hail given should be observed.
Continuing, he said, that us far as he had
any opportunity of judging, the negotia
tions between Russia and England had
been conducted with an earnest desire to
arrive nt an adequate conclusion, but he
v, i- bound to say that the negotiations had
not gone far enough to enable him to
speak positively. ' He must ask their Lord
ships not >' attach to..- much importance to
these negotiations as final ami conclusive,
even when concluded, as the whole condi
tion of affairs in Central Asia was very un
satisfactory and uncertain. " We bop..,'' he
said, to arrive at an amicable settlement
of differences in regard to the Zulfikar Pass,
which England had promised tin- Ameer
would be included in Afghanistan. What
had been promised must be kept, whatever
settlement might be arrived at. ll was our
duty to skillfully devise and vigorously
carry out measures for the defense of the
Indian frontier. Furthermore, we -should
stretch out beyond, so that when the tide
of war comes," it will not come near our
provinces. These preparations must be
promptly and energetically made, and I
trust that this policy will never be aban
doned."
In concluding his speech, Lord Salisbury
-aid. : "The present difficulty in Egypt is
perhaps one of the most complicated
problems that has ever been submitted to
the Govern inent. The difficulties are
enormous, and of many kinds. These dif
ficulties now form tin- subject of negotia
tions. It '■-, perhaps, rather too early to
, -.pre-- an opinion as to the issue. Before
deciding upon any remedy the Government
must take counsel ol those best qualified by
experience to guide them. Their policy
should bo steady, and without oscillation:
One of the most momentous issues was
the defense vi' the frontier of Egypt by
the Egyptians, assisted, no doubt,
in." j; gome measure by ourselves,
against the great tide of fanaticism
and barbarism. It is necessary to establish
-ci; a slate of things that, if we eventually
withdraw our protecting hand, Egypt
would be left safe. Allot' these questions
require time to settle. One principle must
animate us,' namely to so weigh our steps
tliat once taken we must not retrace them.
The military difficulty is a large one,
but the political difficulty is a greater
one. Still the question was whether
the provinces in the Soudan, which
had lately ceased to be practically un
de: the. control of Egypt, should be
abandoned to their fate. The most im
portant of the Egyptian questions, how
ever, was the financial question, which was
as yet unsettled. Until this question was
settled, nothing could be done. There was
no alternative between taking a steady,
cautious and circumspect policy, and tak
ing a course which Would cover England
with shame, namely, t.i abandon Egypt to
her fate."
The Marquis of Salisbury then referred to
the domestic policy of bis Government. lie
said it was intended to avoid contentious
legislation, and to promote only such
measures as were necessary. These would
include, perhaps, the Secretary for Scotland
hill. lie would wind up the session at the
earliest date possible, and expressed the
bone that the general elections would be
held on November 17th.
The Karl of Carnarvon, Lord Lieutenant
of ; Ireland, gives statistics of -crime in Ire
land in recent years, showing an enormous
decrease since the passage ed the Crimes
Act- The Government 1 he said, under ex
isting circumstances, consider i' inadvisa
ble to renew the Act. Thej trusted that a
firm administration of the ordinal**** law
would maintain tranquillity.
Lord Salisbury's statement lasted half
an hour. He frequently emphasized the
fact that the Khedive had throughout been
loyal to England.
The House of Lords adjourned.
Th« Cholera, Scourge.
Mi ri i\. July 6th. -Thirty thousand per
sons have fled from the city fe>r fear of
cholera. Three thousand have been at
tacked, and more than a thousand are dead.
A physician saiil : Cholera-infected clothing
was packed away for six years, yet tlie
servants who opened the trunits died sud
denly with ail the symptoms of -true
choleras Fumigation or boiling undoubt
edly kills the germs, butl doubt the value
of ejrdiimry- dry fumigation with sulphur.
1 think cholera is caused by the germs being
| taken into the stomach with water or some
1 liquid.] Drinking boiled water or artesian
i water from wells beyond the reach of stir
| face infiltration will largely do away with
t the danger of infection. This is shown by
the case of three Valencia villages, all
being within a five-mile circle. Two used
river water and the people were severely
attacked by cholera. The third only used
artesian well water, and has not bad a
single case of the disease to date-. The
cholera was carried from Murcia by the
river Segtira, and there arc other cases of
', tin* same kind elsewhere. The heat in
creases the number of e*ascs, and the heavy
j rain doubles the death rate. Women arc
specially subject to cholera, but those hav
ing much to do with cholera patients be
come in some way proof against the dis
ease. • The cholera . spreads rapidly and
with great virulence along the course of a
river, but by land its spread is uncertain
and slow, depending largely on personal
contact between the people of a neighbor
ing town. A man of. average health and
not given to excesses, using only boiled
water for even such purposes as brushing
the teeth, who eats no green uncooked
food, need not fear the cholera in the least.
Anything which reduces . vitality, even
temporarily, may lead to cholera. Women
have more to fear from the cholera, but
with proper precautions little danger need
be feared. Ferran's inoculation will not
Clay an important part in this epidemic,
however great its part may be in the next
one. Cholera germs live for an uncertain
period. They are know to live for months,
and yet retain sufficient vitality to cause
cholera in persons exposed to them. Great
care regarding infected letters and clothes
is therefore necessary. Valencia oranges
and Malaga raisins of this year's crop may
carry cholera germs to the consumer even
in distant countries. These are, therefore,
among the things not to be eaten.
NEW CASES AND DEATHS.
Madrid, July Oth. — In the whole of
Spain yesterday there were 1.407 new cases
of cholera and 000 deaths from the disease.
Of these there were 219 new cases and" 56
deaths in Aranjuez, 204 new cases hnd 111
in the city of Valencia and 680 new cases
and 417 deaths in the province of Valencia.
THE DISEASE IS MARSEILLES AND TOULON.
■Washington, July Gth. — The United
States Consul at Marseilles has informed
the Department of State that cholera has
again appeared in that city and in Toulon.
A general exodus from Marseilles has be
gun. He reports that the apparent death
rate is below the average.
A marked DECREASE.
Madrid. July Gtb. — There is a marked
decrease of the cholera epidemic in Aran
juez and Valencia.
The Pope and the I ltramoiilanes.
Nkw York. July 6th. — A special from
Home says : There lias been a great rattling
of dry bones inside the Vatican during the
past fortnight. The most exaggerated and
conflicting stories are current. The straight
est version is that the Pope, disappointed
at the outset of his reign by the fact that
the Radicals prevented the King from
meeting his Holiness half way. despond
ing!.* let the Cardinal Antonelll crowd run
affairs in their own fashion, and forced
himself into scholastic labors. The folly
of these Ultramontanes grew finally to such
proportions that when the Irish Bishops
visited Rome the clique attempted to pre
vent them from seeing the Pope, and then
almost commanded him to snub them, and
did all they could to insult and harass
them. They carried the matter a Step too
far, and the Pope dropped his books, ap
pointed Rev. Walsh on-hand to the Arch
bishopric of Dublin, publicly rebuked
Pitra, and began a general house-clearing.
He is said to be thoroughly angry, and
great consternation prevails among ultra
circles everywhere, as over half the Cardi
nals follow him, and the forthcoming ones
will be all Liberals.
The French and Anamese.
Paris, July 6th. — In the Chamber of
Deputies, to-day. M. De I'reycinet read the
following dispatches from General Courcy :
Hus, July sth— 3 a. M.— The French Legation
at Uongca were suddenly attacked at 1 o'clock
this morning by the whole Anamese garrison of
the citadel- The entire quarters ol" the marines
and infantry, consisting of straw huts posted
around the Legation, were set on tire, some by
ascending missiles and others by band, but the
Embassy itseif was untouched. " No serious loss
occurred. It is impossible to know what hap
pi ned at Hongca, where tin- Third Zouaves are
quartered. The citadel is on fire at several
points. A hot artillery and infantry fire is be
ing kept up. lam certain, Irum the direction
of the firing, that the enemy have been re
pulsed. 1 have been able to save the telegraph
hut, and have sent orders to Haiphong to have
the troops encamped there sent here. 1 feel no
uneasiness.
Hue, July sth— ll a.m.— The citadel is in our
possession with 1,000 cannon. Tlie troops be
haved splendidly, and 1 have full confidence in
them. Our losses were considerable. The Anam
ese attack commenced at 1 o'clock this morn
ing, simultaneously against part of the citadel
occupied by us and the Legation. The assail
ants numbered 80,000. They burned the straw
barracks with rockets. The soldiers' effects
were burned, but the ammunition and provi
sions are safe. The Legation was riddled with
shot. lam making all necessary dispositions
for repulsing another attack, which may
be expected to-night, at any rate against
the Legation. Yon need have no uneasiness.
The Franco-Chinese Treaty Ratified.
Paris, July 6th. — The Chamber of Dep
uties ratified the Chinese treaty by a large
majority. Before the vote was taken M.
.De Freyci net made a speech, in which be
pointed out that there was nothing ambigu
ous about the treaty, and that it completely
settled the question of suzerainty over
Anaill. The tribute hitherto payable to
'him would he paid no longer. If the
treaty did not contain all one wished, still
i: could be ratified without prejudice to the
honor or interests of France, as it embodied
a settlement productive of advantages to
France only and genera! civilization. The
Prime Minister's speech was received with
cheers.
What Russia Wants.
Nkw Yokk, July 6th. — The Tribune says :
General hew Wallace, who was seen yes
terday, and who has been in a position to
learn* thoroughly what the Turks think of
the Russian advance in Afghanistan, de
clares that at Constantinople the Czar is
believed to want to get an outlet in the
Persian Gulf more than be wants anything
else just now. A line of trade down the
Persian Gulf, connecting at the head of
that body of water with the Russian rail
way now constructing in Asia, could keep
up a brisk competition with the Suez
canal.
The Troops in (lie Soudan.
London, July 6th. — General Lord VVolse
ley will transfer the command of the troops
in' the Soudan to General Stephenson.
Discontent in Mexico.
City of Mexico (via Galveston . July
Oth. — A proclamation, addressed to the
people and signed by several students,
was found placarded on the dead walls here
this morning. The document stated that
the recent decree for the inversion of the.
debt was! humiliating to the people, and
the signers of it protested that the law was
; one of the most tyrannical ever registered
in the history of arbitrary gov
ernments, It called attention "to the
protest against the recognition of
lhe English debt during Gonzales
administration, a protest written in the
blood of the people. A call was also made
! fora popular demonstration of disapproval
lof the decree. The Government took im
mediate measures to guard against an out
break. All the troops in the city were or
dered to remain in their barracks and
report this afternoon. Several editors have
been arrested, and will be sent t.i Yucatan.
The utterances of certain journals lately
have been extremely violent and denuncia
tory ol the Government.
The Situation in Pern.
Washington, July 6th. — Captain Norton
lias informed the Navy Department -that
the Shenandoah was at Callao, Peru, June
l.'ttti. The political situation in Peru is re
ported by him as unchanged. Trureillo
was in the bands of the revolutionists at
that time, but was besieged by the Govern
ment forces. Caccrcs, the revolutionary
leader, threatened an advance on Lima.
The port of Moilendo had been recaptured
and declared open. No inconvenience
to American citizens throughout Peru is
reported.
Affairs in Colombia.
Washington, July Gth. — A cablegram,
dated Colon, July tth, received at the Navy
Department from Admiral Jouett, reports
the withdrawal of the entire revolutionary
force from Barranqnilla and the coast to a
position sixty miles up the Magdalena
river, where the Government forces arc in
trenched. A battle is expected. The ('..,
--lombian Government has at present one
vessel of war at AspinwalL The revolu
tionists have abandoned tin last sea-going
vessel. Admiral Jouett will send the Swa
tara north at ■•nee. He says the two vessels
still there tan also be ordered home, as
there seems to be no necessity for them to
remain.
The London Sensation.
London, July 7th — m— Public opinion
is divided between condemnation and
praise of the Pall Mall Gazette* enterprise
in printing its revelations of immorality.
Tbe verdict depends upon whether it was
done as a commercial speculation, to in
crease the sale ofthe paper, or was actuated
by a bona fide love of morality. No war

A FRAUD EXPOSED.
HOW COXTR ACTS ARE LET FOR
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Lively Session of the City Board of
Education— Two Sets of
Specifications.
Yesterday School Directors Alsip and
Avery served the following notice upon
City School Superintendent Lane : " You
will please call a meeting of the Board of
Education this (Monday) evening, July 0,
1885, at 8 o'clock. Matters pertaining
to the letting of the contract of the new
building, south side of P, between Ninth
and Tenth streets, in this city, and the
superintendency of the same, is the object
of the meeting."
In pursuance to that order, a meeting
was called, which met last evening as re
quested. Present— Directors Davis, Slater,
Conklin, Chadderdon, Avery and Stevens.
Absent — Director Petrie. The Chairman of
the meeting read the roll.
Mr. Alsip— A few days ago the Building
and Repair Committee, of which Mr. Avery
is Chairman, and myself and Mr. Stevens,
members, opposed taking charge of the
construction of the proposed new school
building. We preferred at that time to
leave it to an architect, gince then we
have ascertained that the law upon that
point is imperative ; that the Building and
Repair Committee shall superintend, with
out compensation, all such work. Mr.
Avery and myself have consulted with the
architect, Mr. Seadler, upon this point,
made known to him the state of facts, and
he has decided that our interpretation of
the matter is correct. He will furnish the
plans and specifications, draw the details
and arrange with the Building and Rei air
Committee for his salary, and they will go
on and superintend the construction.
Mr. Chadderdon— Where does Mr. Seadler
come in ?
Mr. Seadler l don't desire to oppose any
of your rules or laws. ! I want the Building
and Repair Committee to proceed legally.
1 will do as staled. I could step out now,
but will continue and see that a good build
ing is finished. It is a -matter of honor
with me. My charge for the work outlined
will be -h per cent. 7777-
Mr. Conklin— l wus not aware that the
architect took away from the Building and
Repair Committee any of tbeir rights and
[lowers. I considered that it wus their
duty to look after this matter.
Mr. Chadderdon— Does Mr. Seadler in
tend by this means to be released from all
responsibility?
Mr. Seadler — 1 would not be responsible
for anything contrary to my details.
Mr. Davis — The contract with Carle &
(inly was signed to-day and the bond
given. The contract was drawn up by Mr.
Seadler.
Mr. — There are two sets of specifi
cations for that building original and
what is purported to be a copy. They
differ materially. Mr. President, that is
why this meeting was called to-night.
Several contractors figured on one set. and
only one firm on the other. They differ
us to the size of timber to be used.
Mr. Seadler Mr. Avery is not acting
right in making thut statement. He is
taking advantage of his position.
Mr. Avery — And you promised Mr. Alsip
and I that you would not have the contract
und bond signed.
Mr. Seadler— l did not
Mr. Avery and Mr. Alsip (in one voice)
You did.
Mr. Avery There is no use in making
such a denial. We satisfied you that there
were two sets of specification, different in
certain particulars, and tbat both had been
figured upon.
Mr. Conklin— lf there is a contract and
bond signed, to which of the specifications
do they refer? Are they the ones that
the unsuccessful contractors based their
bids upon ?
Mr. Seadler — The contract is so written
that the Building Committee can substitute
either. They have entire charge.
Mr. Alsip— Mr. President, we all have a
fellow* feeling for human beings, and we
were willing, if possible, that this matter
should be fixed up without trouble. How
ever, it is the most serious matter I ever
had anything to do with. It was for yonr
benefit, Mr. Seadler, that we pursued this
course. We explained to you your
blunder and mistake, and apprised you of
what would he the inevitable result. We
told you on yesterday we did not
want the contract signed to-day. We
told yon the same thing this morning.
We informed you that we had not fully
made up our minds. Suppose the con
struction of this building had gone on as
you had changed those specifications. The
unsuccessful contractors would have come
around, saw the small timbers being used,
smaller than they were required to figure
on, and what would have been the conse
quence? It was to save you that we did
this. You have gone ahead, disregarded
your instructions, drawn up and hud signed
the contract in violation or your pledges,
and we will not hold ourselves responsible
for the consequences.
Mr. Seadler— Mr. Croly came to me at 1
p. m. to get the contract. I did not ask him
it he had seen you until after it was signed,
I was between two this. The Building
Committee "aid to do one thing, the Board
of Education had instructed me to do an
other. --.',
Mr. Chadderon— Where did those two sets
of specifications originate? They never
have been before us.
Mr. Seadler— lf they had been in my
possession they would have been signed at
the time the contract was.
Mr. Avery — Did yon ever ask me for
them?
Mr. Seadler— l don't remember whether
I did or not. It is a serious matter. I
have been told it was criminal. I say not.
This thing is done ill almost all public
jobs. 1 have tried several contractors in
this town, and I have had no end of
trouble. My mistake is perhaps in not
consulting the Board. 1 gave one set to
all except Carle & Croly. They wanted
the job and I wanted to give it to them.
They had the inside track on certain items,
amounting to $400 or $500. A few things
in a few timbers. They would have made
a good strong building." They were several
hundred dollars cheaper than the other
bidders.
Mr. Avery— Did you not tell us you
would not have the contract signed
Mr. Seadler— No, sir ; I did not.
Alsip — Are yuu in the employ of
Carle & Crolv or this Hoard?
Mr. Conklin— By their leaving out cer
tain items, would not the other contractors
have been $400 or $500 less than the bids
they put in '.' i'T-yTT- .-•-,;:
Mr. Seadler— Yes, sir. Carle iV. Croly
now propose to build it according to the
original specifications, or the ones figured
on by the other contractors.
Mr. Conklin — You knew about this all
the time? '.*,;"•
Mr. Seadler — Yes, sir. That is where my
crime, as it is called, exists.
Mr. Conklin — Mr. President; I'lmist say
this is a stem-winder. • V i '
Mr. Chadderdon — I move that we declare
our last meeting informal and illegal, in
making contracts or awards. We must re
advertise again for bids, and go over all the
work. :•'..'
The President — I don't see how we can.
The bond is signed and contract entered
into.
Mr. Avery — But they have not been ap- j
proved by the Hoard.
Mr. Alsip — They are not binding unless '
the specifications were also signed. I knew I
an hour after the last meeting about this
ma t.T. Mr. Avery told me he had over
beard a remark of a contractor relative to !
the fraud. We got the specifications, and I
found that certain things had been oblit- |
crated. Mr. Avery then went to the other
contractors, and found - what they hud
figured upon. We went after Mr. Seadler
and found him Sunday morning; told him
we thought figures hud been changed. We
went to the olliee, and found a blotter and
specifications. It makes a difference of $100
or $500 in the cost, and lessens the strength
of the building.
Mr. Conkling said he had no doubt but
that the Building Committee were satisfied
with the Specifications, It is wrong, an
imposition upon this Board, an insult on
this city, and every party connected with it
should be fired out. They wanted to cheat
the specifications, and coming from the par
ties that it dues. lam surprised. You ad
mit that j Carle & Croly figured from
doctored specifications)
Mr. Croly. who was present, thought it
was a wrung charge and said he would
resent it. ■"'."':
I Mr. Conklin— l am", sir. quoting the archi
tect, and if I have ' misquoted him the
President will inform me and I will apolo
gize.
Mr. Seadler— Thcy were $800 below the
others. ' You quoted *me correctly. / If •it
was to do over, again there would be con
siderable dirty work. .
' Mr. Avery— There could not beany more
: than we have unearthed here. TTy'r/
; : Mr. Conklin — I ; would \ hot . tolerate "*; a
j thing of this kind. Qj It is neither fair, just
! nor right to. tell Corle & Croly that they
could leave out certain things. " It is not a
! square transaction. " :
| Mr. Seadler— l have. been instructed by
! owners to make specifications, so as to -jive
'. certain men work. I have not been solicited
jby any living man in this transaction. ,It
' was simply a matter of judgment with me,
. and the city would get a better buildyig
and sooner. The Board is not versed in
building business. "?y:
Mr. Stevens — Well, we are getting versed
very fast. lam glad this has come to light.
' Mr. — Suppose that this building
! had been started, and these defeated con
j tractors would see smaller timbers used
than we asked them to figure upon, what
would they say Carle it Croly now offer
to go on and finish the building according
to the original specifications.
The President— l don't see that we could
find any fault in that. He then asked Mr.
Avery for the specifications. *;*
The latter replied that they were in his
charge as Chairman of the Building Com
mittee, ami he should keep them until
asked by the Board to surrender them. Mr.
Chadderdon also called for them, and Mr.
Avery handed them to the President.
Mr. Chadderdon — Mr. Croly. please look
at those specifications, and see if they are
the ones you figured upon.
Mr. Croly — don't propose to be put on
trial, and will therefore examine no paper.
The President (examining the specifica
tions)—l understand that. Carle & Croly
will finish the building according to these
specifications.
Mr. Avery — arc not the original
specifications. See the alteration of figures.
Mr. Chadderdon moved to declare all the
bids and the transactions relative to the
construction of the building off on account
of illegality.
The President— l don't think I can enter
tain that motion. 1 think that our pro
ceedings have been regular.
Mr. Avery — would like to see the bond.
The President lt is in my safe.
Sir. Alsip— Who drew it up?
Mr. Seadler l drew it up. It is to build
according to plans and specifications to be
approved by the Building Committee.
-Mr. Conklin — There is a cloud here that
must be removed. There has been a wrong
committed already. This Board has been
imposed upon. We must submit to that
wrong or else vindicate ourselves here and
now.
The President — If we go back on what
we done, there will be no building
erected this year, at least not with mv vote.
Mr. Conklin— l don't feel that way. Mr.
President. lam here to act for the best
interest of the School Department. That
is a plain duty.
Mr. Chadderdon — I was told by one who
figured on this building that he could, un
der certain rebatements, have bid $1,500
less.
Mr. Conklin — It wns very wrong in Carle
& Croly, and was very wrong m our archi
tect. . We asked him to do by this Board
what was right and just, and we expected
nothing else.
Mr. Avery — If those specifications were
written over again certain things could be
left ofi that would not hurt the building
in the least. It would not be as strong, but
strong enough.
Mr. Conklin That is funny. I sug
gested that once, and I was told it could
not be done without risking the building.
Mr. Chadderdon — I think there is but
one way out of this matter, and that is to
declare it all off, and commence over again.
Mr. Conklin This is a surprise party to
me. We have run against a snag which I
don't sec how we are to get around.
Mr. Slater — I have depended on the
Building and Repair Committee entirely.
Mr. Avery — The Board took the mutter
out of their hands.
Mr. Conklin—] feel that this Board, and
the school system generally, has been im
posed upon. I don't think I can compro
mise a wrong, and I will not. I am in
favor of discharging our architect, here and
now. He was supposed to be working in
our interest, and when he gives points to
contractors, he has done a great wrong. It
has leaked out, got here, and he has ac
knowledged it. Let us dispense with his
services right now. . - v ". .;• ..
Mr. Avery — All this has been taken down
by the reporters and will be published in
the Recokd-Uhios in the morning. Citi
zens will ask that every member of this
Board resign, and I should hope they
would, if this thing is allowed to go on.
Mr. Conklin — architect's acknowl
edgments are such that we must immedi
ately discharge him ; and I make a motion
that he be asked to send in his resignation
to-night, and pass in his bill to the Build
ing and Repair Committee for services ten
dered up to this time.
" Mr. Avery — would relieve him of
all responsibility.
Mr. Conklin — I don't know what respon
sibility he has. I don't want him to do
any more work for this Board. I emphat
ically object to his doing anything more
for this Board.
Mr. Avery — I for one could not consent
to pay him for his specifications, because
they will have to be drawn over.
Mr. Conklin — I leave that to the Build
ing and Repair Committee. They can take
care of that.
The motion was seconded and adopted
unanimously.
Mr. Seadler — Am Ito hand in my resig
nation before I settle? I don't think it fair.
Two of the committee worked against me
from the start. I would rather leave it to
the Board.
Alsip and Avery both said "that is
not so. '
Mr. Stevens said be had never spoken to
the architect. He being the other member
ofthe committee.
Mr. Seadler— l did not allude to Mr.
Stevens. I claim nobody on the Board as
a friend, but would rather trust the affair in
other bands than the Building and Repair
Committee. The specifications can be cor
rected in about two minutes.
Mr. Conklin— A privilege was given Mr.
Seadler to resign. If be does not desire to
doso. we will be compelled to take other
action.
Dr. Laine — I understand Mr. Croly did
not know of the existence of other specifi
cations than those he figured upon.
Mr. Croly — I never saw but one set of
specifications, and they were the ones I
figured on.
Mr. Readier Carle & Croly knew noth
ing of it. They saw but one set of specifi
cations. I had a preference for them.
Mr. Conklin— l got the idea from Mr.
Seadler that Carle & ' 'ruly were knowing to
those figures, and that there was a mu
tual understanding between them and the
architect.
Mr. Seadler handed in his resignation,
which was accepted.
Mr. Slater l move that the motion
adopted at the last meeting, authorizing
tho President to sign the contract and bond
with Carle & Croly. he rescinded.
Mr. Stevens — I second the motion.
Mr. Croly — Have you a right to do that
without consulting the contractors?
Mr. Stevens — Well, there seems to be
something wrong and crooked, and I will
not have anything to do with it, and don't
think this Board will.
Dr. Laine — It seems that in this case Carle
& Croly were favorites with the architect.
In order to give them the contract be fur
nished them with specifications calling for
less material, but they were not aware of
the deception, and supposed that there was
but one set. According to the evidence
given here, it appears that they figured in
good faith, and the Board, also, in their
arts have acted in good faith. You must
here and now decide whether or not a
fraud has been committed, and if so,
if more than one is implicated, then the
contract is void, according to the statute.
If there is a presumption of fraud, then
you should rescind your action. It is also
presumable from what has been stated
that Carle it Croly would prefer to pro
ceed with the construction upon the speci
fications upon which the other contractors
figured.
Mr. Stevens— While I believe Carle &
Croly have acted in good faith, still I think
it is for the mutual benefit of all concerned
that both parties agree to declare the
action, so far, null and void.
Mr. Croly— linn of Carle & Croly
have been in business for fourteen years,
and we have never backed out of a contract
yet, and don't wish to do so now. We
don't back out, withdraw nor sell out.
Mr. Stevens— We can pass a resolution
that will be published, completely exoner
ating you. -"-,: '■"*'•
Dr. Lame—T he Board don't think you
wrong, but they have to protect themselves
in this matter.
Mr. Conklin— l believe we had better
adjourn this meeting until - somo future
time, just as it is. .
j The President— The motion of Mr. Slater
j will have to go over for one meeting under
i the rules. :
Dr. Laine — Ytut cannot believe there is
any complicity between Carle <fc Croly and
; the architect. if you adjourn at this stage of
: the proceedings. ;
Mr. Conklin— The architect gave us to •
■ understand by his' statement to-night that j
! there was a collusion between himself and ■
; Carle it < 'roly. He since has qualified his j
! statement somewhat. 'V- - .
. Mr. Croly said the contract and bond has |
1 been signed, and Carle it Croly have ordered -j
lumber. Be careful and don't act hastily.
- Dr. — Does not the fraudulent act
of Mr. Seadler iv validate the whole action
of the Board, so far as awarding the con
tract is concerned ? • :-
Mr. Conklin— l would prefer to adjourn
for one day, in order to take some legal ad
vice, so that we can act legally and justly.
1 move we adjourn until 8 o'clock to-mor
row evening. ; ~p:.--" ;
; After deciding to lay the matter before
the City Attorney to-day ami ascertain
whether the Board would be liable to Carle
it Croly by annulling the contract, the
motion of Mr. Conklin was seconded, and
the Board adjourned.
