WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-The estimates for |
the next fiscal year, as furnished tothe Chair 4
man Of the Committee on Appropriations, it I
Appears, will show very considerable reduc- |
ton over those Of last year. The War De 1
partment shows the greatest reduction. The |
Navy Department remains the same, S2O,- /
100000.
The total deficiency bill will amount to 1
81, 900, OOO-a decrease.
The report Of the Commissioner Of Educa- I
ton is a voluminous document, seventy eight 4
pages in length, and, with accompanying docu- |
ments, will make a volume Of 800 pages. |
The Commissioner praises the system Of
Prussia as superior TO our own.
OF the American State reports on schools,
that OF Illinois is said to BE- the most COM |
plete Several Western States complain Of
a diversion and waste OF school funds. The
condition oi the educational work in the
South is treated of at length, and the progress
in each State noted. The upshot Is, that
MANY of the States have good systems, but |
the apathy, OF open opposition 10 large
classes, makes them inefficient. The provis- (
ion by the Government, Of 4 system OF free
schools in the Territories Is urged, and
scheme Of Congressional action is submitted. !
A large slace Is given TO the consideration Of
the education Of the Indians. Some general I
legislation in aid Of an Indian school system,
is asked. which system ought to be. in
rrea, part, industrial. Professor Day, |
of New Haven, furnished an interesting |
t,aler on the means necessary for the educz- 1
ton and Americanizing of Chinese emf |
grants. There is much about the relations |
of education and labor, and statistics OF COM
,araiive illteracy of males and females IN
the New England State, which, the Com .
missioner says, is appalling and shows the
necessity OF a more thorough education oil
women a. a sure means Of promoting the
general intelligence. Among other topics |
treated at are 4 proposed National tniver-
sity at the capital, teachers associations col
lcgc -,ali,,icS, agricultural and scientific !
Schools, refornatory schools, institutions for .
the blind. dumb, idiolic and insane, and
prison schools wherever possible.

urday last To- repair the cable OF 1850, which !
va. injured ab,sit sixiy-iive miles from that 4
poinr. We have Just received information |
tha, the cable %; ls65 has ais, ceased work, |
and that the fault i about the same distance !

BILE that the steamer has crappied the wrong |
cable. As the steamer is on the spot IT l. /
hnpei both cables will -Oon be repaired. Al /
though the French cable IL able to transmit |
westward with about It's usual facility, ii Is 1
from some unknown cause unable to trans

very slowly.
