Would Succeed Ed-win Markham.

OAKLAND. May 8.— Friends of J. C. Gllson, former Superintendent of Schools, are urging him as a candidate to the princlpalship of the Tompkins School, which has been held by Edwin Markham. When the writer of "The Man With the Hoe" went East a year ago he was given leave of absence, which has expired. It is presumed he will not return to Oakland, therefore it is supposed a vacancy will shortly be declared in his position.
