committee of five appointed by the Re-
publican Senators in caucus to draft
d bill to carry into effect that plank OF

meets the hearty approval Of the Pres

ference within short time after Major
Mckinley is inaugurated.'
Senator Wolcott talked on a number
of other topics, and remarked that a

probably not be looked upon in the

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 2S.-M
Nelidoff the Russian ambassador to
Turkey, acting as spokesman for the

fed the Sultan that the agreement of
the powers upon the question Of en-
forcement of reforms in Turkey is per-

be no delay on his part in giving assent
to the proposal.
The financial scheme formulated by
M. Nelidoff is understood to involve the
revision of the entire Ottoman debt un-
der the guarantee of European powers
signing the agreement. The plan also
contemplates the full control of Euro
pean powers over Turkish revenue,
with the allotment of a fixed sum for
the maintenance of the army and navy

Sultan's appointment of his Ministers

CIRCULAR.

In circular formerly issued by this
ing in schools, reference was made
to the fact that in the statutes relating
to the Bureau of Public Instruction it is
provided that no person in holy orders
or minister of religion shall be eligible
to fill the Office of President of the
Board of Education or of Inspector
General.
Again, Article 81 of the existing Con-
stitution declares that mo public mon
ey shall be appropriated nor public
land conveyed to or for the support or
benefit of any sectarian, denomina-
tional or private school," etc.
The evident intention of these pro-
visions is that there shall be no relig-
ious teaching in the public schools sup
ported by the Government, but that
they shall remain strictly non-sectar-
ian and secular.
The school buildings should there
fore be used only for purposes pertain
ing to the public education of the
children of the country. Accordingly.
the permission formerly given to the
School Agents ''to arrange with the
clergymen of any religious denomina-
ton to allow them the use of the Gov
eminent school houses after 2 o'clock
p. M, for a time not exceeding one
hour, once a week for each denomina-
ton applying, for the religious instruc-
ton of such scholars as may choose to
attend" is hereby revoked.
This Board does not, however, con-
slider it inconsistent with the principle
stated above, to continue the practice
of opening the schools every morning
by repeating the Lords prayer in
unison.
The School Law also declares that
1.-THE object of the common schools
by Government is to instruct
the children of the nation in good
which include honesty, truth
obedience to parents and teach
ers, respect for superiors in age and
position, patriotism, kindness, benevo-
lence, helpfulness to the weak and the
humanity to animals, per-
sonal cleanliness, modesty, chastity,
and other virtues, which
should be taught by precept, illustra-
ton and example at all times.
No profane or indecent language
should be allowed in the school prem
ises or on the way to or from school.
