a Mothers COMPLAINT.

10 the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Our little child regularly attends school in
one OF the fourth grades of our city. Last
night he brought home list of the following
words: Likeness. rudimentary. non-retract tile,
projections, proverbially, acute, genial, priced
locality, property, churning, machinery
draught," with the request or demand that he
should make sentences using these words cor
rectly or remain after o'clock today and be
punished. The child also brought a list O.
fourteen words as a spelling lesson.
NOW. what's to be done? Why, with the
neip OF Webster and other members Of the fam.
ily our child has gone to school today with the
required sentences, but how about one-half OF
the children who cannot have this help at
home? And furthermore, is this the proper
fourth-grnde work?
In addition to the six school hours should
children in our smaller grades be required OF
even allowed two hours study in the evening?
realize it is no easy task to teach school.
but the health Of children should be one of the
nrst consioeranons. A MOTHER.

More Appointments Expected to he

WASHINGTON, June 29.--Secretary Car
Isle spent the night with President Cleve-
land at the Country White House" He
went prepared to work, the clerks of the
Treasury appointment bureau having been
kept busy all day preparing large batch
of papers which Che secretary carried with
him to the summer executive mansion.
These papers consisted of all the appli-
cations and recommendations OF candidates
on file for certain offices. In the bundle
there were several New York cases, but
not that OF the Collector of the Port 1t
is likely that either late this afternoon or
TO- morrow morning q list OF important
appointments will be made.
The report sent out last evening that 1t
had been learned from an authoritative
source that the extra session OF Congress
would be called for the first Monday in
September is being much commented upon
In political circles to-day. 1t is the opip-
ion of many that the President will be
compelled to change his plan, and call the
national legislature sooner than Sept. a, the
present silver difficulty seeming TO de-
mand IL.
There is no doubt that the subject is
causing Mr.. Cleveland and his Cabinet
much anxiety, and he is being urged from
every side to take some action that will
alleviate the anxiety.

ADvICES FROM HAWAII.

Annexationfsts Hopeful Over the Tone OF
Mr.. Cleveland's Letter.
SAN Francisco, June 29.-The steamer
Australia from Honolulu brings tho fol-
lowing advices:
President Cleveland's reply to Mr.. Thurs
ton was received yesterday, June 20, and
Is very disappointing to the Royalists.
The annexationists regard IL as implying
q serious doubt as to tho general propriety
of annexing so remote country as Hawaii
and one of such heterogeneous population.
President Clevelands language they con-
slider to imply doubt also as to whether
the wishes of the people of Hawaii are Yin
favor OF annexation. They are confident
that any scruple. of this sort will in good
time disappear On the whole they are
much gratified with Mr.. Cieveland's ex-
pressions.
There is strong evidence for the belief
that by the mail of June IA Minister Blount
was advised by Secretary Gresham that
he was in error in protecting Nordhoff;
that the Cutting precedent was not appli-
cable since Nordhoff's statements were
written in Honolulu. whereas Cuttings
wsrc written where they were published
and that Minister Blount was instructed
to turn Nordhoff over to the mercies of
the Hawaiian government, and did 80, but
that President Dole suppressed the matter
in order to spare Blount's feelings.
Minister Blount was invited yesterday
to deliver the grafton on July A, but de-
clined The orator will be w. A. Kinney.
Blount's action il severely criticized by the
American colony. Not only has he re-
fused to attend the preliminary meeting,
but he has also refused to address his
countrymen as part of the exercises of the
Fourth. His excuse is that the political
situation here is peculiar.
The desire to make overtures to England
before settling on protectorate seems to
grow in favor.
