favor of reform but against is enforcement.

THE brutality of the German colonization
policy has been pretty freely displayed before;
but when Germany makes a proclamation to
Arabs at Bagamoyo, in which, under the terms
of religious freedom and "travel and trans
portation," the slave trade is protected. the
German-African policy succeeds in removing
itself outside the limits of civilization.

IRON A STAFF CORRESPONDENT,
| IF anything could be more disgraceful to mod
ern civilization than the fact that some 25-
| 600 children of school age in this city are de-
| MED the privilege of the public schools from
the lack of provision for them, should like 10
know what it is? To be sure the number is
placed at lower figure Q5,000), but the lower
estimate is based upon those who came OF the
first school days and kicked at the doors. 1t is
safe to say that 25 600 children who would be
in the public schools, if there was room for
them, are now running about the streets of
New York taking lessons in crime instead of
arithmetic These are the children of the poor
and of those in circumstances too moderate to
admit of private tuition. There are two
large classes in this city-the careless,
well-to-do, who do not allow their
children to attend public schools and can
afford select private establishments, the Sec
tarians. who are religiously opposed to all
schools wherein their own particular dogmas
are not taught-who do not care whether these
children have schooling or not Perhaps these
two classes are largely responsible for this
state of affairs. Even the schoolhouses that
are provided are, with the exec ption of a few
modern ones, the worst specimens of school
buildings to be found in the country. They are
kept packed to the last seat of their capacity.
When little child dies of the foul air, or goes
crazy with over-study to excel in a mob, as
they occasionally do die or go crazy there are
scores OF applicants for its eight inches of
space within few hours. OF the 165OO0
upward who are now in school, perhaps 5000
will come out at the close of the term little
short of physical or mental wrecks. And the
percentage of moral wrecks among the little
ones who are debarred educational facilities
altogether Is too sad to contemplate.
With city government absolutely gorged
with fat officeholders this neglect is little less
than criminal. A few years hence New York
ers will have to pay for asylums, workhouses,
jails and policemen the money that should have
been invested originally in the proper and ade-
quate means of education. If the matter of
individual right or public policy is to be ignored
New York City ought at least to look forward
to the time when she can send Representatives
to Congress who can read and write and speak
the English language well enough to be under

President Diaz said to-day I want no

The Secretary of Foreign Affairs said he
did not believe in war, and Guatemala
wanted peace to further her industries.
The Guatsmalan Minister here referred
to former conversation in which he said
Guatemala had reason to feel grateful to-

observed, and tor having suppressed the in

CONGRESSIONAL.
IN THE SENATE,

WASHINGTON, September 11th.-In the Senate
to-day the House bill for the sale of certain
lands for school purposes in the town of Pelican
was placed on the calendar.
resolution offered yesterday by Morgan
calling the Secretary of the Interior for infor
nation as to the lands of the Northern Pacific
Railroad and other companies whose roads were
not completed within the period fixed by the
granting Act, was agreed to.
The conference report on the railroad land
forfeiture bill was taken up. The main PROPOSE
tion is contained in section l, f0rfeiting to the
United States all lands heretofore granted any
State or corporation to aid in the construction
of a railroad opposite to and other minor por-
tions of any such railroad not now completed
and in operation. for the construction or benefit
OF which such lands were granted, and all such
lands are declared part of the public domain;
provided the Act is not to be construed as for
ieiting the right of way or station grounds of any
railroad company heretofore granted;
Morgan opposed the report as log rolling
scheme, gotten up for the benefit of all land
grant roads. While the first section prOfessed
to be forfeiture, all other sections related to
separate railroads. and exempted them from
the operation of the forfeiture section. or else
secured them certain pecuniary advantages.
The most that could be said of the bill was that
the few small railroads that had not got friends
enough in the two houses were to be crucified
for the sake of CLOSING over and vanishing a
false pretense of general forfeiture.
After speaking for four hours and over, Nor
gan yielded for motion to adjourn.
IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, September 11th-In the House
to day 0'Farrell OF Virginia made the point of
no quorum.

point, stated the question on ordering the
previous question on approving the Journal OF
Tuesday. and directed the Clerk to call the
roll.
The vote stood Yeas, 81; nays, A. No
quorum.
On motion of Mckinley, amid Democratic ap-
plause, the House adjourned.

TiIts

Tits.
WASHINGTON, September llth. = The
Raum Investigation Committee session was
enliyened to-day by several tits between
Cooper and Frick and Lewis and Morrill,
Commissioner Raum, beginning his de-
fense, commenced the examination of
Cooper. The latter said his attention was
first called to the refrigerator company by
newspaper articles, aud afterwards by Geo.
B. Fleming. He had talked with other
persons confdentially, but did not care to
give their names. Fleming said that But
Ter Fitch had told him thai seven pension
Office employees bought stock
The Commissioners said that Fleming
himself was the author of the defamatory
news articles.
Cooper said he had Given out the article
himself, saying he had not given his note
to Lemon.
The Commissioner said he had denied
he had given his note for S25 900.
Cooper further said that he had been
confirmed in his belief in the charges by
the Commissioner refusal to answer his
questions. But the charges rested upon
Fleming and Fitch's testimony. If they
were knocked out, ell right.
The Commissioner remarked that he
thought they had knocked themselves out.
Continuing, Cooper said Mr.. Colman,
representing the refrigerator stock, had
witness to suppose they showed crooked
ness. Cooper said he had never seen the
books of the company.
Flick sharply queried: "You know you
are on oath, don't you? You swore mo-
ment ago that you could take those books
and sustain the charges"
Cooper-"I said / believed it. That sug-
gestion of yours was upgentlemanly, cow
ardly and mean"
Flick-"And l submit that you are a
dirty dog"
1t took some time to restore order after
this, but the matter was smoothed over,
and Butler Fitch called. He denied hav-
ing told Fleming any OF the things Cooper
spoke of.
In the course of the examination Com.
missioner Raum remarked: THE whole
thing is figment of George B. Fleming, q
discharged employe of the Pension Office,
who had used Mr. Cooper do not say
corruptly'
Assistant Secretary of the Interior Bussev
testified that he had approved the COM
pleted files order. He had been much
pleased with the great improvement in the
Pension Office under Commissioner Raum's
administration.
Cooper asked if the witness had investi-
gated the charges connecting the Commis-
sioner and Lemon.
Witness replied: do you suppose am
going to take up everything see in the
