INDIAN SCHOOLS.
A Thorough Inspection to be Made by

A IhOfOu3h inspection to be Made by
the superintendent.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs has written let
ter to DIR. Dorchester, Superintendent of
Indian Schools, instructing him to visit
the contract schools and subject them to
the same thorough inspection made in
the Government schools. The Superin-
tendent is also to make special inquiries
into the character and qualifications of
employees of contract schools, compare
the course of study with that in Govern
ment schools, and point out any defects
and superiority.
The Commissioner says it is the pur-
pose TO promote pupils where it is found
that the course Of study is defective or
the facilities for industrial training want
ing, or for other reasons pupils cannot
receive as good equipment for life in con-
tract schools as in Government schools
The Commissioner also says, "You
will say distinctly and emphatically to all
persons connected with contract schools.
that whenever it is found by this office
that those in charge Of these schools, or
those whom they send to the reservations
to procure pupils, or those who are in
any wise directly connected with these
institutions, are using influence against
the Government schools, by advising the
pupils to stay away, or by advising
parents to withhold their children, or by
advising agents to not cooperate with
the Government in any way, directly or
indirectly, that they will be held strictly
responsible for it, and if the necessity
comes upon this Office, which hope will
not, this office will not hesitate to annuI
the contract with such institutions Of

ject, had returned home after a final

Not Yet Settled that Our Cereals VIII
be Admitted Free in Germany.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The report pub
lished this morning to the effect that
convention had been concluded with
Germany by which the cereal products
of the United States would be admitted
free of duty, etc., is not true. Negotia-
tions have for some time been in progress
between the two Governments with a
view, on the part of Germany, TO secure
the continued free admission OF her sugar
into this country in return for certain
concessions in customs duties to be ex-
tended by Germany to American pro-
ducts of various description. 1t is learned,
however, that these negotiations are still
in an uncompleted state of progress. with
good prospects of being brought to a sat
isiactory conclusion before the lst of next
January, when the President will possess
the power to issue proclamation impos-
ing duties, conditionally levied by the
Tariff Act of October l, 1890, upon all
sugars imported from any country that
imposes duties upon agricultural or other
products of the United States which in
his judgment are not reciprocally equal
and reasonable.

were absent from court. Chief Justice
Fuller is in Chicago, where his daughter
Is very i'll, and Justices Bradley and Gray

ing. The business transacted was the
admission OF applicants to practice before
the court and the announcement by
Justice Field that the most important
cases advanced for argument next Mon
Gay are postponed until the second Mon
day III November. This step is taken for
the reason that it is desired they shall be
heard by full bench, and the probability
IS all the justices will not be present ON
Monday next. The list includes the Saw
ward case, which involves the question
of the jurisdiction of the United States
over the seal fisheries in Behring Sea, the
antl-lottery cases, the elevator case and
cases involving the equestion of the consti-
tutionality ofthe Mckinley Tariff Act

no power TO so sentence them. There are
