The government is much to be com nended
for its zeal in the cause of popular education.
Today education is obligatory in all parts of
the republic. and undoubtedly great changes
will ensue in the next decade. The consul
calls attention to the fact that England furn-
lshes about 48 per cent of the total imports,
and says that besides a few agricultural inn
plements and little lumber, none of the i'm
ports come from the United States. The
country IS very backward, and the progress
OF the last decade has taken root merely
within the narrow precincts of Ascuncion.
The Line of Duty.
WASHINGTON. May 14.-Assistant Secre-
tary Bussey today granted a re-hearing in the
pension case of Geo. w. Allen, late of Com
pany H.. I'D Indiana Volunteers. The
testimony tends to show that December 20,
1862, at Bledsoe Creek, Tennessee regi-
ment was ordered out to play ball for ex-
disabling injuries for which he claims PEN
sion. The case was originally rejected by
the commissioner of pensions on the ground
that the injuries were not received in the
line OF duty. Assistant Secretary Bussey
takes the opposite view, and directs that the
claimant be allowed an opportunity of estab-
fishing by further testimony the fact that he
was injured as alleged. In case the nroof
shows couclusively he was so injured. the
pension Is to issue.
