TIE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Resolutions Adopted by the
Lutheran Synod.
PAROCHIAL SYSTEM ESSENTIAL
Compulsory Attendance at the
Common Schools Looked Upon
as a Hardship.

DunUQCE, Iowa, June 1.-THE Luth.
eran synod in session In this city TO.
day adopted unanimously q long series
of resolutions touching their attitude on
the public school question and compul-
sorry education. They refer to tho lcsis-
lation of recent date In several states,
and say In part; 1--WE consider the pub.
lie schools necessity, on account OF the
conditions created by the con.
stitution of the United States, ospeei-
ally In its relations to the church.
As American citizens, we arc Obliged
and arc willing to contribute to the
maintenance OF the public schools. al
though we are thereby burdened more
than any othor citizens In also maintain
ing our own parochInl schools The
establishment and maintenance of
Christian schools is with us "a matter of
conscience. Not considering the fact
that We wish to preserve for our
children the precious blessing OF the
German language the instruction in this
language could not be given up, II we
bear IN mind the present state of our
congregations, consisting mostly of emil
grated members, IT we wish TO preserve
our children for tho Lutheran church.
FOR the maintenance of our paroohial
schools We claim no support of the sta To,
and protest against the use OF public
school funds for parochial or private
schools We favor compulsory attend
anee at school, IT 1t is understood TO DO a
general principle that parents shall
send their children to school, 1t how
ever being left to their discretion to Sc
loct the school to which they wish to
send their children. We arc opposed to
compul sorry attendance, If thereby Is
understood compulsory attendance up
ON public schools. Ii is not In ac-
cord with the spirit oil the constitution Of
tho United States, or of the different
states, whom laws are made which limit
the perfect liberty of religious law.
Further We declare that We will on
pose such laws as restrain religious
liberty and especially threaten the con
tlnunnce or Independence of our
parochial schools, with all the legal and
moral means justiiiable, disregarding all
party issues"

Saturday tho temperature was above

cool weather will yet produce good
crops. Delayed reports from Eastern
Oregon show that on May 2s, 20 and

vegetables, especially potatoes, toma-
toes and peas. Corn, rye and barley were
also Injured.
The month of May had high aver.

General reports indicate ligh hay

The Grande Ronde and Walla Walla

In the valleys OF Wallowa county, wheat.

Sr. PAuI, Mimi. June 1i.-Although
no official confirmation can bo had, 1t
In generally believed that tho Northern
Eaciflc has secured control of the Seat
tie, Lake Shoro d Eastern.
For some time past II has been
thought that tho Great Northern was
anxious TO secure possession Of the prop
crty for Its racific coast outlet. An OFF,
cial OF that road, however. said to-day
I'VE don't want the Seattle, Lake Shore
4 Eastern, nor did we ever make any
effort to secure II. We could have pur-
chased II some time ago, but found upon
examination that IL was not what
we wanted. We control the Seattle a
Montana road. which was recently in
corporated. This gives us ten times
batter and larger facilities In Seattle than
the Lake Shore would have People in
the East have a wrong conception of
this road. IL Is not such a system as
they secm TO believe II is. II of course,
has good terminal facilities In Seattle,
but those OF the Seattle Il Montana

AN AFRICAN DISPUTE.
England and Germany Likely to Come
to an Undo srstanding.

LoSDos, June 1.-THE St. James
Gazette, in an article on the negotiations
now being carried ON by England and
Germany relative to the territory in
Africa, says that II is probable that a
settlement will be reached, by the terms
of which the Germans will evacuate
With, and abandon their claims TO the
territory behind With. The Gazette
further says that line will DO drawn
across Lake Victoria Nyanza one degree
south of the equator, to the eastern
boundary of the Congo state. All the
disputed territory north of this line will
be British, and all south OF II German.

rnE TEMPERANCE CONGRESS-.
Prohibition In Maine and Othor Topics
DIarms sHeh.

NEW YoRK, june ii.--Ilov. Dr. Nome
was made president of tho national
temperance congress, which convened
here to-day, and began its work by dis
oussing the question "Is state and ma.
tional prohibition desirable and feast.
bleg He held that IL was desirable,
and instanced the condition Of Maine
now and before its temperance lcgisla-
ton.
Robert Graham, who was introduced
rs a representative of the church move
ment in behalf of temperance, took tho
ground that national or state prohibi.
uon was neither desirable nor feasible
The total prohibition of the sale or
manuiacturo of wines ana fetmentcd
extreme law, and should have an inn
pregnable basis. Prohibition, lie as
serted, was not effective. lie was in
favor Of high license.
The next topics that were taken up
was THE Battle at Omaha" the open
ing address being made by Professor
Cornwall, oi Aberdeen, 5. d., who re
ierred to the pending struggle In behalf
OF the prohibition amendment in No
braskn.
The day WAS given up to the discus.
sion oil papers ON kindred topics.
EVENING SESSION.
At the evening session Rev. DIR. How
ard Crosby denounced prohibition as
untimely and impracticable at tho
present time. lie favored high license.
He urged unity of action in the tenn
perance cause on the part of The prohi-
bitionlsts, instead of cavil at the workers
who differed from their views, and, In
conclusion, said that II prohibition could
bo adopted by force in New York city,
tho flood gates OF vice would be thrown
wide open.

THE AFRICAN DISPUTE.
London Press Comment on the Pro-
possd Copee .sLons.

IoSDos, June 1.-The Chronicle,
commenting on the proposed settlement
of the East African question, as an
nounced by tho St James Gazette, says
1t is the most abject and ignominious
surrender of British interests
that has been made since Eng
land abandoned the American
colonies. IL adds; "Little Is left to sur
render now, except Egypt. The restora-
ton OF Alsace- Lorraine to France, which
would have given Europe some hope of
peace, would have been a cheap price to
demand from Germany for sucn a con-
cession."
The Daily News thinks that the an
nouucement of the st. James Gazette is
q feeler to ascertain public opinion on
the question.
"Cfermany,n 1t says, comedies two
minor points for one main point. The
British government is lnkely TO DO in the
ridiculous position Of the lady who, say
ing thut she would never consent, con-
sented."
