EducGtinn That Is Not Practical.
The folly of mechanical juggling with
figures is shown by the following recent
experience of a school official. In a school
Of 81 pupils Of mixed grades the follow
ing question was asked: 1T is now 10
minutes after 10. What time was it five
minutes ago." Nineteen ont of the 3.
pupils failed to give a correct answer. A
similar line of humiliating failures &c
CURED when questions equally simple
were asked.
The trouble was not that the children
could not substract. but that they could
make no practical use of what they had
learned. They could use figures with more
or less facility when told exactly how
to arrange them. When certain sums
were set. a fair showing was made. Blu:
the fact that the end Of doing such ME.
chanical work should be to master the
application Of a principle to the practical
everyday affairs of life was far beyond
their comprehensions -BostonT~ Traveller.

THE TIME FIXED
For the Rout Of the Sill
yer Senators.
The RepealerS Confident
and Unhurried.
All Amendments Offered to
the Bill Defeated.
Tomorrow Has Been Tacitly Agreed
Upon as the Date of the
Final Vote.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-[By Tele-
graph. The greater part of the day
was given to speech making. There
was no special desire on the part of the
repeal managers. however, to seek a
vote on the repeal bill before Monday
or Tuesday because there were several
absent who are expected to be here by
that time who wish to have their votes
recorded. 1t is not supposed that the
vote will be postponed for their return,
but several speeches were to be made
yet, including those OF German, Dubois,
Jones, Stewart and others.
When the senate convened at IL a.
m. there were twenty senators present.
The repeal bill was taken up and SEN
ator Wolcott addressed the senate in
opposition. He was then followed by
Senator Sherman, who spoke of the
depleted condition of the treasury and
the invasion of the gold reserve, which
he said was reduced to ninety millions ito
rectify this the secretary of the treasury
should be authorized to issue bonds.
He considered it unwise to offer such
an amendment to the present bill, but
had read of the proposition for the sale
OF two hundred millions of per cent
bonds, as the methods he would sug-
gest for relief.
He was followed by Senator German.
Senator German contended that when
congress met the Democratic party was
hopelessly divided on the silver ques-
ton as were the Republicans.
There was not majority in favor Of
unconditional repeal. He asserted that
there were many who would vote that
way who wanted some other measure
passed in place of the Sherman law.
Senator Stewart spoke for few min
utes. Senator Shoup, of Idaho, took
the floor and read a short speech pre-
dieting that disaster would follow re-
peal.
ALI amendments to the repeal bill
were defeated including Perkins SUBJ
stitute and the Bland Allison proviso,
offered by Senator Perry, of Arkansas.
Senator Stewart offered an amend
ment for conference of all American
states to fix uniform silver coinage.
When all the countries agreed on such
coin and opened their mInts to free
coinage of silver, the Uniten States
should do the same. 1t was rejected,
yeas 80, NAYS Al.
4 tacit agreement has been reached
that the vote on the bill proper shall
not be taken today. 1t is expected by
the leaders on both sides that the vote
will be taken Monday.

A CHINESE HAUL.
Smugglers and Contra
band Celestials,
Operating in Norther
Washington.
A Band Surprised by Vigilant
United States Officials.
Thirteen Cinnamon Picked Up in
Their Flight But Two White Snug
glers Make Their Escape.

SEDRo, Wash, Oct. 28.-[By Tele-
graph. About 3 a. m., yesterday, thir-
teen contrab band Cinnamon, accom-
panied by two white men, were seen
passing on the Seattle, Lake Shore 4
Eastern railroad south of Sumas. One
of the white men Is supposed to be the
celebrated Terry, who figured SO con-
spicuously in the Chinese shooting af-
fray near this place two years ago.
The company was observed by two
citizens of Sumas, who followed them
to near Wickersham, where they at
tempted to arrest the contrabands.
The white men, who were evidently
smugglers. opened fire upon their pur-
suers, and the two citizens returned the
compliment. One Chinaman fell, a
ball having passed through his thigh.
The guides and nine Cinnamon broke
to the woods and escaped. One China
man, together with the wounded one,
were put under arrest and held till
Deputy Collector Maloney, of What
com, and Marshall Plum arrived. The
officers brought the two Cinnamon to
Sedro. The wounded one was taken to
st. Elizabeth's hospital, where his
wound was dressed. The wound is
very painful, but the doctor thinks it
will not prove fatal The officers and
a posse of citizens were guarding all the
trails and roads last night, and succeed
ed in capturing three more Cinnamon.
The others are supposed to be south of
this place, and the officers expect to
capture all before tomorrow.
WHATCoM, Oct. 2S-Deputy Collector
of Customs Maloney returned this after
noon with four Cinnamon captured at
various points between Wickersham
and Burlington since Tuesday morning
at 2 O'Clock. One wounded in the leg,
at Wickersham. was left in the hospital
at Sedro Tuesday morning. Maloney
received telegram from James Doran
at Wickersham, stating that three
Cinnamon had been captured there at
"a. NJ, and one mad been wounded.
Maloney started for Wickersham at
once, and then went to Sedro, and
thence to Burlington, where two more
we're caught Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock. At o'clock Wednesday morn
ing another was caught seven miles
above Sedro. Thirteen Chinese passed
Wickersham, three of whom were cap
tured by the people there, the remain
der scattering for the woods.
At 2:30 this afternoon Inspector
Stenger arrested man who would not
give his name with valise containing
eighteen fve-tael cans of opium. He
is stranger in town. and was making
for the I'D p-Sound boat.
