KING MILAN GLOOMY AGAIN,
He Thinks He Has Caught His Best Friends
Plotting Against Him.

rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.1
LONDON, February licking Milan.
whose ups and downs are wonderfully sud-
den, is in a gloomy mood again. Just as
he was going to build up a new Cabinet,
with the Radical element for its backbone,
he discovered-or thinks that he has
discovered-the evidence of a deep and
deadly plot against his throne, managed
by the very Radical leaders whom he in
tended to honor. Big boxes containing
rifles have been seized, it seems, and Mr.
Tauschanovics, the President of the Skupt-
selma, and who was to have been the Minis
ter for Home Affairs, is very much mixed up
with the deadly rifles and with the plot
generally, having been, if King Milan is
not deceived, in correspondence with Ser
was enemies abroad.
There is good deal of anxiety as to what
King Milan will do, and the usual talk,
which never amounts to anything, of his in
tention to abdicate, is trotted about once
more. His grief at the wIckedness of the
Radicals is perhaps somewhat softened by
the new departure on the part of Queen
Nathalie, whom he so handily divorced.
The Queen, whom everyone has believed
was travelling about Russia and the
rest OF Europe, trying to have
her former lord and master toppled off his
throne, now gives it to be understood that
she desires nothing of the sort. She con-
sders that the interests of the King are
identical with those of ner son. and pro-
poses to fight for the Obrienovitch dynasty,
through thick and thin, in order that her
boy may have have his turn at governing,
when the time comes.
A great many people think that these
sentiments of Queen Nathalie are really
based upon the tact that she could not find
anybody to do the toppling over of her hus-
band which she wished for.

ARGUMENT RESUMED.
The Electric Suit slowly Drags Its Way
Through the u. s. Court.

AhO AhCCtrtC sun cloWhy Aso s'oJ
Through the u. s. Court.
Argument in the electric light cases was
resumed yesterday morning in the United
States Court before Judges McKenna and
Acheson.
Mr.. Griffin, of the counsel for the Edison
Company, opened the argument with the
presentation of number of affidavits, but,
before reading them, made motion for two
months more time in which to further pre-
pare the case. During the reading of affi-
davits, about the only point made apparent
was that Edison claimed to be the original
inventor, and that his patent ante-dated the
Sawyer-Mann patent, under which the
Westinghouse Company operates, by at
lesst two years.
General A. S. Duncan read some afidavits
favoring the Westinghouse interests.
Hon. John Dalzell made a forcible and
vehement argument favorlng an early and
final decision. General Duncan made an
address in support of Mr.. Dalzell's address.
Judge McKennan answered General Dun
can.
At the conclusion of the arguments the
Judges took the papers submitted and re-
served their decision.

superstitions, inspiring them with the hope
of bettering their condition and improving
their chances of success in life. Instead of
promoting idleness or pauperism, or crime,
or socialism, or anarchy, free schools, with
free textbooks, and the more because of
free textbooks, are the best antidote for
these evils Philadelphia has less of the
spirit of socialism and anarchy than any
other large city in the country, and yet
this old staid city has furnished tree text
books with her free schools for more than
20 years."
Massachusetts and California furnish
their schools with free textbooks, and seven
other States, including Pennsylvania, per-
NIT school districts to furnish free books.
Prof. Wickersham made thorough canvass
of the two States mentioned, and the locali-
ties where free books are used in the others,
and found striking
UNIFORMITY OF AGREEMENT
on these points: Free books increase the
attendance at school, particularly in the
higher departments; remove from the schools
all distinctions of class; save time in Or
ganizing schools and forming new classes:
enable the teacher to give more variety to
instruction; lessen the expense of furnish
ing textbooks. The reason free books in
crease attendance in the higher grades
is very apparent. In these grades
books are more costly and are very serious
item in poor boys expenses. Progress in
schools and in organization of new classes
is frequently delayed at the beginning of
the term because of the backwardness of
parent in buying books. Where the books
are furnished free there is no such delay.
Free books are less costly to community,
for the reason that when pupil moves up
ward he leaves his books behind him for
those of lower grade. Thus many pupils
in turn use the same books, and after the
first investment the cost is merely for wear
and tear or renewals There is also the saw
ing effected in buying at wholesale instead
of retail-from 25 to so per cent. Prof
Wickersham's estimate is that under the
free textbook and supplies system the cost
for each pupil is only from 80 cents to 81 per
year, the average, perhaps, being IS cents,
and the annual saving to the community
being 81 pupil.
p In the Department of Public instruction
these views are indorsed. On the other
hand objection is made to uniform system
of school books for the State. ''In my
opinion" said Deputy Superintendent
Stewart, the tendency would be to narrow in
stead of to broaden and diversity the intel
ligence of the State. TIC try to make the
minds of the children of the State run in
one groove would be decided check to in
telIectual growth and expansion" Simi-
larly, the publication of school books by the
State is opposed on the ground that the ex-
perience of California and other States has
shown that books can besecured much more
cheaply from competing publishers.

The introduction of free textbooks into the
public schools is agitating the minds of our

looking to that end, and for uniformity in
composition. Another measure affecting
the rising generation is the proposition to
introduce into the public schools system
of manual training for boys and of domes-
