apIndian schoo, Scheme.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Commissione of
Indian Affairs Morgan has elaborated sys-
tenn of education designed to reach all the
Indian youth of school age now under con-
troll of the Indian bureau. 1t is practically
the American public school system, adapted
to the special requirements of the Indians
1t is to he non-partlsan and sectarian
The industrial feature is to receive special
prominence. The "outing SYSTEM" by which
pupils are placed in white families and at
tend the public schools, is encouraged when
ever practicable.
1t is proposed to develop the full high
school course in at least three Indian schools,
Carlisle, Haskell and Cheyenne, and in
others as fast as needed. These high schools
are to take rank IN equipment and character
OF work done with similar institutions for
white people. The scheme contemplates the
organization, perhaps, of twenty-five gram
mar schools, fifty primary or home schools
and enough day or camp schools to reach all
who cannot be brought into the boarding
schools. Congress will be asked to make a
sufficient appropriation to enable the Indian
Office at an early day TO bring every Indian
youth of school age that can be reached
under proper instruction.

WASHINGTON, Oct 3i.-Postmastcr. G On.
eral WanamaSer to-day made public an order
liking rates for telegraph service for the
government for the present year.
The order provides that for day messages
not exceeding 10 body words to be sent .

have never been of any value TO them he is
impressed by what DIR. Green has advanced

WASHINGTON, Oct, 3l.-TSpecial to TuB
BEE. .l-Encouragement for the proposition
to establish postal telegraphy in this country
is given by the recent annual report of the
British postmaster general. One of the
strongest arguments that has been made in
congress heretofore against postal telegraphy
in this country was that the English system
was not selfsustaiuing by several millions OF
dollars year. When the proposition was
under consideration in the last congress a
statement was produced going to show that
the British postal telegraph system had
fallen short of the self fsus aiming point some
thing like 80, 900, 900 for the fiscal year end
ing IN 1885, and it was estimated that the
next following fiscal year would show still
larger deficit.
A very recent report of the British post
master general discoses the fact that the
English postal system actually earned net
profit last year-proht amounting to over
per cent on the total receipts and yet the
statistics show that the receipts had fallen
off from the previous year almost 81, ,U00. 900.
This will, it is believed, offer great impetus
to the proposition to introduce postal telcgra-
ply in this country, and it may result in
either the purchase or construction of tele-
graph lines.

governors, the naval and military officers,
consuls and other officers IN the British col
onies and possessions, and on the high seas
and elsewhere, and such officers are to give
full effect TO the charter and recognize
and in all things aid the com
pauy and its onlcers-pretty ex-
tensive power IL will be readily
admitted-and, indeed, as far as can be
judged, it is a replica of the East India COM
pany's charter, granted in the good old days
when it was regarded an excellent thing
TO give the classes absolute and irres ponsible
control of the masses.
One clause in the charter has a grim sa-
tire, all IT'S own: "Nothing in this charter
shall be deemed TO authorize the company to
set up or grant any monopoly of trade, pro-
vided that the establishment OF or grant of
concessions for banks railways, tramways,
docks, telegraphs, waterworks or other SINH
lar undertakings, or the establishment of
any system of patents or copyrights approved
by our secretary of state shall not be deemed
monopoles for this purpose"
The first exclamation of the reader will be,
how came 'ch a charter TO be granted. A
glance at the names of the officers of the
new company will afford an ample explana-
tion. The humble petitioners for the con-
cessicns as set forth in the preamble of the
deed are the duke of Abercorn, duke of Fife.
Lord Clifford, Cecil John Rhodes, Alfred
Best, Albert Henry, George Grey and
George Cawstone.
Lord Clifford has been instrumental in
forming many syndicates since he first made
up his mind to retrieve his fortunes, but
even for him it was touch of genius to
aspire to such a charter as this and
very cleverly he must have played
his cards. The negotiations carried
on with the most noble Alexander William
George, duke of Fife, X. T. c. p, must have
been interesting, indeed, and once he was
landed, the provisions of the charter became
a mere matter of modesty on the part of the
solicitor to the syndicate.
When parliament meets there will surely
be little excusable curiosity on the part Of
some members over the provisions of the
charter.

PARIS, Oct. 3l.-TNew York Herald Cable
Special TO TnR BEE.l-The Figaro has
commenced the publication Of series of
notes ON "Bouangism," the anonymous au-
thor of which appears to have been thor
ouchly at home with regard to the private
actions of that party He gives some curious
details respecting the projects which were
discussed by General Boulanger's immediate
advisors after the election of January 27 and
the Emergencies Of opinion which arose
among the leaders of the national party.
According to these notes il would appear
that there really was question of attempt
ing coup de force after the victory of jan
uary q. Paul De Roulde and Thiebant were
energetic in support of the idea and desired
that it should be attempted before the fall of
the F'loquet cabinet, the weakness of the
ministry being regarded by them as d pledge
of success.
On the other hand, Nauquet, Rochefort
and Dillon opposed any attempt at violence
They advised only calm work and desired to
coniine the fight exclusively to legal action
and electoral grounds. Laguerre Perrisse
and Verdoin remained neutral
As for the general he was undecided and
inactive, thinking, above all, of his own
pleasure.
De Roulde pursued his projected plan Of
keeping the troops he meant to use, members
OF the Patriotic league, in continual expecta-
ton. He frequently passed this army in re-
view, going from one arrondissement TO an
other to strengthen the zeal of his agents
He called meetings frequently and made fire.
quent illusions to an attack on the
-Palais Bourbon, illusions which were
always franticalIy applauded. After the
Sagllo incident the impatience of De Roulde
and his league became greater and the men
more difficult to control. Nauquet and those
who were opposed to the use Of force only
succeeded partially in calming them.
II was at that moment that the protest
was issued which brought about the dissolu-
tion of the Patriotic league. Soon afterward
the trial by high court commenced and
Boulanger's fight followed.
II the facts related are correct, il would
seem that there really did exist plot In the
Boulangist party against tho safety of the
state, but the high court of justice would
have given proof of very little discernment
and equity in condemning Boulanger, Roche
fort and Dillon and sparing De Roulde and
Thiebant While the first named were op-
posed to the employment of force, which the
latter advised and prepared, of course the
atory must be accepted for what it is worth.

HOW LONG WILL IT LIVE?
The Interstate Commerce Railway
Association.
DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT IT..
The Rock Island Thinks the Union
Paciflc-Northwestcrn Deal Has
Practically Broken IL
to Pieces.


CuIcAeo, Oct 3l,--[SpecIal Telegram to
THE BEE. l-The question in regard to the
life of the Inter State Commerce Railway
association is one becoming critical.
The position ofthe Rock Island was made
public to-day, That road will not even degn
to withdraw from the association. 1t con-
siders the Union Pacific Northwestern deal
has broken it to pieces and will not aclSnowl-
edge there is anything from which to with
draw.
Your correspondent to-day sought legal
advice on proper construction Of the agree
ment and the opinion was that it would be
impossible for the Union Pacific and North
western TO consider themselves qualified
members under the present agreement, but
there was no reason for the other lines with.
out proper notification, to consider them
selves absolved from its terms.
In regard to the rumored withdrawal of
the Burlington, General Freight Agent Paul
Morton, speaking for the company, said {:
"We have not withdrawn from the Inter
State Commerce Railway association and,
being still members, shall respect the So
called gentlemen's agreement / know of
no present intention to withdraw from the
gentlemen's association on the part OF the
Burlington and DO not see how we can i'm
prove our condition by so doing. No consul
tation even has been had to consider the sub
iect of withdrawal"
Chairman Walker, of the Interstate Com.
merce Railway association, was said at his
office to be IN Rutland, VT, to-
day. 1t was learned, however, that
a determined effort was already on
foot to stop the decentralization among the
members, and that even with the Rock Island
out the association might continue. If this
occurs, however, it will be necessary for the
Union Pacific. Northwestern contract to be
known to all members, an event not likely to
happen. Moreover. the Rock Island and
Burlington, being close competitors, it will
be hard for the latter to remain member if
the former drops out

THE NEGRO QUESTION.
A Discussion OF the Problem Before
the American Missionary Society.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9l.-The negro question was
the principal theme for discussion in the
meeting of the American Missionary associ.
alton to-day. Several papers were read, the
most interesting Of which was one by Colo
mel j. NJ. Koatlng, of Memphis.
Colonel Heating said disfran chisement was
impossibie; that the suffrage is necessary TO
tho protection OF the negro. Emigration, he
says, is utterly impossible, Tor If the colored
people departed II would be greatly against
the interests Of the south. The thing to be
done is TO let the negro alone give him his
rights, educate and christianizc him.
vote of thanks was rendered TO Colonel
Heating by the association aud the commit
tee on printing instructed TO have this paper
distributed through the south.
The report OF the finance committee showed
that sound conditions existed. The recon-
incubation of the committee that $500, coo be
contributed for the proposed enlarging OF
the work among the negroes an poor whites
OF the south was adopted. The meeting was
ended tonight with AN election of officers.

CHICAGO Is CONFIDENT.
Preparations Already Being Made for
the Next Worlds Fair.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3l.-[Special Telegram to
The BEE. The Chicago people are so conf
dent of the correctness of their recent con-
gressIonal poll on the worlds fair question
that they have even lnsinuated to Hon. b. L.
Jeffery, by cable, to forward certain plans to
be us ed as paper basis for the anticipated
Chicago worlds fair. Mr.. Jeffery is the late
gener al manager of the Illinois Central rail
road, and has been gathering points for the
Chicagoans in Paris. This particular cable
gram sent from the Chicago headquarters is
one of the most important yet issued from the
sphinlXlike presence of the sreticent officers.
1t was by the merest accident that n reporter
became aware that anything of more than
usual importance was wired to Mr.. Jelfery.
Mr.. Jetfcry has been constantly in communi
cation with Secretary Cragin for some time
as to exposition matters in Paris, and great
deal has been spent in messages. This
mornings cablegram read as follows

NEW MEXICO.
Constant Disturbance of Land Title
Ruining the Territory.


Ruining the Territory.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.-Governor Prince,
of New Mexico, in his annual report, calls
special attention to the subject of land titles.
In reviewing the history of congressional ac-
tion in the matter, he says:
matters were in very unsatisfactory
condition when the late surveyor general
made them worse by endeavorlng to un.
settle the few things that were supposed to
be determined, taking up cases which had
been decided twenty-five years ago, and
without notice to anyone reversing the de-
clslonS of the surveyor general who heard
the cases, and declaring the testimony in
sufficient and the grants invalid.
$50 long as the uncertainty regarding
titles prevails no one will buy for improve
ment, and so the development of the country
is constantly retarded.N
The governor urges the establishment of a
tribunal exclusively for the hearing Of these
CLAIMS and the settlement of titles.
The governor answers at some length the
statement made by persons opposed to the
admission of the territory, especially regard
ing its illiteracy. He shows that although
the white native population is more or less
llliterate 1t is not true OF very large pro-
portion of the people. The ratio of all litter
acy has been reduced 20 per cent during the
last five years. He makes an earnest plea
for admission into the union.
Upon the subject of water supply and irri-
cation the governor says the people feel IL is
as much the business Of the government to
render valuable the immense areas now use
less for cultivation as 1t is TO improve har-
bors and rivers. While hoping for govern
ment and private enterprise will not be idle
and during the past year several corpora
tions have been formed for the purpose Of
irrigation.
Cattle raising has been in depressed con-
dition throughout The year on account of the
low prices.

The Pan-American Delegates Visit
the Martyr President's Grave.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Oct. 81 Springfield
was reached by the delegates to the inter.
national congress soon after IL o'clock this
morning. In waiting here were Governor
Fifer, Senator Cullom. Representative
Springer, Ex-Governor Richard Oglesby, and
other prominent persons. Rain had been
falling during the night, and
the roads were in such condition
as to necesstate the abandonment
of the programme for the entertainment OF
the visitors during the morning, which in
cluded a drive about the suburbs and visit
to the fair ground so the party was at once
escorted to the hotel and given an opportun-
ity to rest and lunch quietly. In the after
noon they were taken to the tomb of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Senator Cullom introduced Ex-Governor
Oglesby who made a telling speech
advocating change of route for
American sight seers from Europe
to South America and Mexico, and the
necessity of the establishment of "a universal
American brotherhood, commercially, socially,
morally and politically Governor Oglesby
paid Il touching tribute TO the martyr presi-
dent.
General Bolet Peraza, who responded Is
son-in-law of Genera. Monagers, who while
president of Venezuela, freed the slaves in
that sountry General Paraza said his voice
was Dut an ecnO OF tEe senIinncnt
of the people of his country and that
fifteen American nations were
present to-day TO pay their respects and rem
der homage 10 the man who was respected
and beloved by all alike. The tomb only
contained the ashes Of the great man, but
his real sarcophagus was in the heart OF
every living American, both north and
south.
Senior Alfonzo, of Chill, in brief speech,
SAID his presence was the result OF vow
which he made years ago to visit the tomb
of the man beloved throughout the three
Americas.

itors went to the room where tho relics are
kept and each signed hIs name in the reg
ster From the tomb they were driven 10

harbors of the nations here represented.
Senor Velarde of Bolivia paid tribute TO
Lincoln and smoke Of the wonderful progress
of tins country.
Governor Fifer spoke briefly and was fol-
lowed by Delegate Henderson, VINO said:
"We are going to have reciprocity. Free
trade with America does not mean Tree trade
with Europe and Asia"
Congressman Springer said whatever pro-
lection had done heretofore the barriers be-
tween the three Americas should now be
broken down and commerce flow as freely as
the waters themselves.
Judge Gresham hoped congress would bo
fruitful of results and establish closer relas
tions between the Americas.
This evening the visitors attended recep,
tion at the state house and at midnight left

During the present excitement the export

being credited with profit of from e25O, 600
to e5O0,0 900 in few months. Glasgow steel
makers refuse orders generally and any new
work is booked at rise of 15s per ton.
