to that bright day in autumn when

BLAIR's EDUCATfeNAI. BILL.
What Prof. Mays Says Its Dfscussio
Has Accomplish he'd

Has Accomplished
An echo Of the once famous Blair educa-
:ional bill is heard in a speech which
Representative Blair has Incorporated in
the Congressional Record The main DOT
'ion OF the speech is given. TO a reproduc-
ton Of an article prepared by Prof. A. D.
Mays. designed as part ofsthe Forthcoming
annual report Of the buseAu of educati1n.
Prof. Nays asserts that While the Blair bill
was defeated 1t accomplished great public
good In stimulating the south to the needs
OF education. and that the project of ma
tional aid to state education will again be
taken up. Prof. Mays adds:
Three Question to he Faced.
THE three coming questions to be faced
and in some decisive way settled by this
republic early in the second century Of its
existence are. first. the reorganization of
labor under the conditions and demands of
modern life; second. the obligation Of the
ration to aid In all constitutional and prac-
ticai ways in the educational training Of all
American children for intelligent moral
and effective American citizenship; third,
the right and obligation Of the American
state and nation to iegislate in the interest
OF public morality for the extirpation Of the
social unrighteousness that is the eternal
enemy OF liberty. Already has the great
principle Incorporated in the Blair bill and
so amply indicated by the debates Of ten
years In Congress, the obligation Of the
nation to stand by and in all constitutional
ways aid the American common school in
the training Of American citizenship been
so wrought into the mind and heart of the
educational public that much has been
accomplished which the friends of the
measure anticipated from it's passage"
Prof. Mays concludes that the Blair bill
still has a future and that it will eventual
ly beco me law.

The Fall Campaign.

The fall campaign in the various states
was the subject Of an extended discussion
last night by the members of the demo-
cratic congressional committee in the
rooms Of the organization in the Wormley
annex. Senator Faulkner presided. and the
general opinion prevailed that while the
tariff bill did not completely fulfil the
promises of the democratic platform In the
line Of tariff Ieform the measure was an
emphatic mark of progress toward the
final attainment of democratic principles,
and that a thorough understanding Of the
measure on the part Of the people would
insure democratic success in November.
Consequently, 1t Is the intention to utilize
the stump during the campaign to explain
the effect of the bill. and the course pur-
sued will be to compare its workings with
that Of the Mckinley bill.

A ST. LOUIS SENSATION.
Contractor ROhan Charged With At
tempted Abduction.

Contractor ROhmn Charged With At.
tempted Abduction.
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, August pa warrant
issued for the arrest Of Philip Rohan, a
wealthy boiler maker here. and his son on
the charges of attempted abduction and
highway robbery is likely to develop a SEN
sation.
James Campbell, a broker, who secured
the issuance Of the warrant, alleges that
Rohan met him last Friday morning, de-
manded $4,000, and then, at the point Of a
revolver, forced Campbell to enter a car
riage, in which was Rohan's son. The car
riage was driven to Rohans room. Camp
bell alleges that Rohan then ordered him
to go up to the room. Campbell refused. and
then said he would go up If Rohan would
hand over the revolver to his son. Rohan
did 30, and Campbell, leaping out of the
carriage. slammed the door and ran to his
Office.
Several stories are afioat as to the cause
of Rohan's alleged action. One is that
the boilermaker, who has hypothecated
$4,000 worth of bonds with Campbell
through friend to secure loan. took this
method of securing their return after other
means had failed.
Another and more probable story is, that
Rohan secured the contract for placing
10000 worth of boilers in the power house
of the Municipal Electric Lighting Com
pany. 1t is said that Campbell, who be-
came interested in the company, found
some fault with the work, declaring the
boilers defective, and refused to pay over
the money to Rohan. Immediately after
securing the warrant Campbell left for
New York accompanied by his wife.

RENTS AT PULLMAN.
A Chicago Real Estate Dealer Think,
They Are Not Excessive.

A Chicago Real Estate Dealer Thinks
They Are Not Excessive.
CHICAGO. ILL.,, August 22-Several of the
witnesses examined by the strike commits
sion today gave testimony more favorable
to the Pullman company than that which
had previously been heard.
Frank w. Glover. q real estate agent,
said he considered the Pullman houses at
SIS and so a month really cheaper than
$12 a month houses In surrounding towns
The Pullman houses were well equipped
and beautifully located, he said, and rents
were not, in his opinion, too high.
In reply to a queery Of Commissioner
Wright. Mr.. Glover denied that he was I'm
any way connected with the Pullman Com
parry.
Paul E. Herms, q newsdealer. who former
ly worked in the Pullman shops said he
did not place much faith in the complaints
Of the men. Their trouble, he thought, was
largely due to a fondncss for beer. All the
saloonkeepers in the surrounding towns
had grown rich, Mr.. Herms declared and a
large number Of the kersington beer wa
gons were supported by the Pullman en-
ployes. OF real estate values he knew little,
but did not believe that Pullman rents Were
unusually high.
I. II. Johnson,a Pullman furniture dealer,
testified that store room rents in the town
had been cut. though no reduction had been
made in the residence rentals.

NO MORE LEGISLATION
But Some Senators Want to Make Tariff
Speeches.
The Managers TeleWrnphing to Bring
Back Enough to Make
a Quorum.

The republicans Of the Senate carried
out their plan Of Monday and made the
point of no quorum in the early stages of
the session today. The consultations among
the leaders indicated that they were willing
the alcohol schedule of the tariff should
be corrected, but no agreement could be
made on the democratic side 10 stop any
further speech making.
Want to Make Speeches.
Senator Lindsay Of Kentucky has been
prepared to make a speech on the tariff
The republicans do not want it to be made.
The friends of Mr.. Lindsay insist that a
quorum can be brought here and that the
speech must be made, IL any Senator de-
sires to make it. There is a suggestion tina [
the absent Senator's may be sent for, but
1t is considered doubtful whether they will
return unless more urgent business than
speech making should bring them here
Senator Berry of Arkansas is also anxious
to deliver a speech on the tariff and the
friends of Senator Lindsay and himself are
determined to secure a quorum SO that
they may be heard.
Senators Jones of Nevada and Quay of
Pennsylvania, republicans, answered to
their names, which completed the Quorum
They did SO with the understanding that
no business should be attempted today.
Trying to Bring Back Senator'S.
The democratic managers of the Senate
discussed the advisabilty Of telegraphing
for absent Senators. They say there is
some important work which ought to be
done before final adjournment, including
the passage of the bill correcting the error
in regard to the tax on alcohol used in the
arts.
The democratic steering committee of the
Senate are telegraphing to the absent men,
bers to return, and urging them to do SO as
a matter of party necessity. They hope to
secure a quorum with the populists and
republicans who will answer to their
names
Talking of Adjournment.
Senator German and Speaker Crisp had
long conference today. and the matter
of early adjournment was discussed. 1t is
believed by the democratic leaders that a
business quorum cannot be longer MAIN
tained in either house, and that II would
be well TO have an early adjournment, and
that 1t should come as soon fas the tariff
bill Is finally settled.

THE NEZ PIERCE TREATY
Preparations Being Made to Garry Out Its
Provisions.
The Indian and Land Omces Hard at
Work on the Accounts
and Patents.

The bill ratifying the Nez Perce treaty,
which Is now a law, carries 81, ,66S, 600;
$6GS, ,622 of this amount Is to be paid as
soon as the department can arrange the
necessary details and reach the payment
Of the money. Representative Sweet Of
Idaho has had several interviews with de-
partment officials relative to carrying the
treaty into effect, and reports the work as
progressing rapidly. The division on ac-
counts of the Indian Office is now at work
preparing list of those entitled to pay
ments under the agreement. The land office
Is preparing to issue trust patents to those
entitled to them. The work has been a lit
tie delayed by reason of contests arising
over claims to aliotments, which were de-
MED by the alloting agent. The officials
assured MI Sweet that the opinion of the
Attorney Generals Office had been prepared
ana would be submitted for the approval of
Ine secretary at the earliest date possible
Thls matter out of the way and the trust
patents Will issue at once.
Some Provisions of the Treaty.
The treaty provides that children born
after the agreement was entered into and
prior to ratification thereof by Congress
shall be entitled to tie benefits of those
living at the time the agreement was made.
Again, there are some who were absent
and did not receive their ailotments These
claims must be adjudicated. Then some
nave died since the agreement was entered
into, and their interests must be properly
settled. When these details are out of the
way nothing remains but the transfer of the
patents and the payment of the money
The work will be pushed vigorously by the
department to the end that no time shall
be lost In carrying the agreement into
effect. The land will be opened to settle
ment by proclamation of the President, so
that ample time and notice will be given
to those seeking homes on the reservation.
Prices of the Land.
Agricultural land Is to be sold at S.. Is
per acre. and mineral, stone and timber
lands at s. per acre. Agricultural lands
will be opened to settlement only under
the homestead law. and each settler before
making final proof shall pay the price
above stated, one-half of which shall be
paid within three years from the date Of
original entry. But the rights of Union
soldiers and sailors, as they now exist, are
not abridged except as to the payment re-
quired. The treaty provides that none Of
the money received by the Indians for their
land shall be liable for the payment OF any
judgment for depredstions committed by
members Of said tribe before the date OF
the agreement.

TOXIC, japan, August 22.-It is officially
announced that on June 80 the King of
Corea declared himself independent of
China. and appealed to Japan to assist him
in driving the Chinese from Tsan. This,
it is added, was done with the assistance
of the Corean troops.

VICTORIA, q. c., August 22.-Capt. j.
Cox, one Of the most prominent Victoria
sealers. has been engaged by the japanese
government to take charge Of a dry dock.
Dr. George Il. Duncan, Victoria's health
officer. has Joined the Japanese army as
surgeon.
No Confirmation of Chinese Victory,
The Japanese legation has received no
news OF the engagement between the Japan
ese and Chinese forces reported from Shang-
hal In dispatches published this morning.
The officials Of the legation express the
strongest confidence in the accuracy Of the
telegram received at the legation yesterday
announcing that the finding of the British
naval court Of inquiry at Shanghai in the
kow Shing case was favorable to Japan.
This statement concerning the action of the
court. officials Of the legation say, was un-
doubtedly based upon official information,
as was also the additional statement that
the British admiral had reported to his
government that in his opinion the sinking
Of the Kow Shing was justifiable.
The legation cnaracterizes as unquali-
fedly incorrect the assertion that the COM
mander of the Naniwa ordered his men to
fire upon the survivors Of the Kow Shing
who were struggling In the water.

New Tariff Bill Preparations.
Preparations for carrying into effect the
new tariff bill are going forward at the
Treasury Department with all possible
speed. Secretary Carlisle has already pre-
pared q blank form of license for custom
house brokers provided for IN the bill. and
IL is now in the hands of the printer. Sew
eral clerks are also hard at work preparing
an index for the new bill. This will occupy
about twenty pages in the new tariff VOL
un1e which, for the convenience Of customs
officials, Will contain both the new law and
the Mckinley act of 1890. 1t Is expected
that by the time the new bill becomes a
law. all preliminary wo-k. save that OF is
suing instructions to customs ard internal
revenue officials, will have bsen done.

THE SIBERIAN RAILWAY.
It's Completion VIII Depress the
Price Of Grain.

U. s. Consul General Jonas at st. Peters
burg, in report to the Department Of
State, points to the fact that the early COM
pletfon Of the Siberian railroad Is likely to
have depressing effect upon the prices of
grain throughout the world. No reliable
estimate can be formed Of the probable ex-
Port Of Siberian grain to Europe by this
road. and one rough estimate placing it at
six million bushels for the west Siberian
section, Is regarded as decidedly too low
Moreover, the completion of the road Is ex-
pected to greatly stimulate the planting Of
grain In the black soil belt. famous for its
fertility. In 1889 the Siberian governments
produced a surplus of 30.000.000 bushels of
grain.
To lessen the depressing effect Of the
local st. Petersburg market of the expected
inrush of Siberian wheat, a new outlet is
being provided by a line of railroad from
Perm. already connected with Western
Siberia, to Kottas on the Dvina river, offer
ing an easy waterway to Archangel on the
White Sea, where the wheat can be ex-
ported to other European countries.
