Recognizes the Superiority of For
eign Training.
TAUGHT BY THE LATE WAR
WILL SEND THEIR YOUTHS TO
AMERICA FOR EDUCATION.
First InstaIiment of the Lads to
Arrive in New York About the
First of June, and They will Re-
main Until They Have Achieved
Liberal Mechanical and Scien-
tific Education.

NEW YORK, May 20.-The Chinese gov
eminent has awakened to the fact that
the recent defeat by Japan was due entire
ly to the inculcation in the latter nation
of western methods.
In view of possible future complica-
lions, the Chinese government has decided
to recognize the superiority of foreign
training.
AS a result twenty Chinese boys, rang
ing in age from 10 10 L years, will soon
make their appearance in this country.
Unlike their predecessors, these visitors
come as children to become skilled IN
mechanical arts.
The youngsters will come in care of
Rev. Hui Kin, superintendent of the
I Presbyterian church mission, who is a
graduate of an American college and the
third Chinaman TO be ordained In this
country. Rev. Kin left for Japan in jan
uary, and according o his reports, preacn-
ed the gospel with success in Toxic.
Thence he went to China. He found that
government busy with the problem of the
advanced education of its young men.
Three thousand OF its young men We're
being sent at government expense to
Germany and others TO France.
Mr.. Kin saw what the Chinese officials
mad not Seer-that to properly educate
the orientais in western methods they must
be brought here while young. Finally
as an experiment, ii was decided TO per-
NIT the minister to bring back with him
to America twenty boys. He selected the
sons of farmers as being better fitted
physically to enter into mechanical train
ing. The expenses of the pupils are paid
by their fathers.
The party will arrive in San Francisco
next week, reaching this city early in
June. The boys will be Immediately taken
TO some nearby country place, where they
will remain during the summer under the
watchful eye of Rev. Kin. During the
summer they will be taught the rudiments
of the English language, as we'll as the
tenets of Christianity, and in the fall
they will take up their mechanical stud
les in this city. Mr. Kins plans are not
yet known to the people in charge of the
mission, but it is understood the lads
are TO remain here for some years and
return to China with liberal mechanical
and scientific education.
China, 1t is believed, will also apply soon
to this government the privilege of send
ing one or more of its youths to West
Point and Annapolis. Other nations have
enjoyed this privilege for many years,
but China had not awakened to the ad-
vantages to be derived from that courtesy
until the recent disastrous war
The twenty youngsters who will arrive
soon will remain here under bonds to re-
turn to their native country and every
precaution will be taken against the vio-
lation of our anti-Chinese laws.

REJECT FREE SILVER.
Goldbugs Dominate the South Dako-
tn Democratic Convention


ABERDEEN, S. D., May 2O.-The
Democratic state convention convened
here today at o'clock The gold
standard men received important rein
forcements this morning, notably from
the Black Hills, whose delegates had
been for silver but changed to a right
about because of the flood of protests
from that part of the state.
S. A. Ramsey of Woonsocket, gold
standard candidate, was agreed on for
temporary chairman,
The convention adopted the following
platform:
1.-The Democratic party of South
Dakota is in favor of the present
standard of value in our monetary
system and the use of full legal tender
silver coins and paper convertible into
coin Of the demand in such quantities
as can be maintained without impair
ing or endangering the credit of the
government or diminishing the pur-
chasing or debt paying power of the
money in the hands of the people,
The convention. by vote of 1919 to
2241a, rejected a free silver substitute.
Other resolutions arraign the Re
publican party for extravaganza and
declare unalterable allegiance to the
Cleveland administration, also oppose
ent just and conservative tariff and
pronounce against secret political or
CARNATIONS. The fight over the f1nan-
oial plank was extremely warm, but
the free silver delegates did not with
draw from the convention as was
rumored they would do early in the
evening.

WYOMING SOLID.
THERE WILL BE NO ANTAGONIST As
TO SILVER.
There May, However, be a. Lively
Fight Upon the Question of Adopt
ing Instructions to the National
Convention Relative to Betting.
Especial to The Hsrald.l


CHEYENNE, wyo., May 2o.-.A num-
Der of delegates to the state Demo-
cratic convention, which meets tomor-
row at Laramie, have reached here. In
dicatfons point to an attendance Of
about so per cent of the 104 delegates
comprising the convention, the north
ern counties having each sent proxies
in charge of one member of the dele
cation. Every county in the state has
passed resolutions instructing delegates
to vote for a free coinage delegation to
the national convention ard for free
silver plank in the state platform.
There will be no contest on this point.
There may, however, be a lively fight
upon the question of adopting: instruc-
tons to the national delegation rela-
tive to boiling.
The extreme free silver advocates are
in favor of sending a delegation in
structed to bolt if the national con-
vention does not declare uneqhivocally
for free silver. There is on the oppo-
site side a strong feeling against bolt
iIlS uHQeT any ClTCQulSAdltCSS- Llt6LS
is likely to be a contest for the selec-
ton of a national committeeman. Ex-
Governor Osborne and W. H. Holiday
are the opposing candidates for the
place. Osborne's friends base his claims
upon the ground that he is the leader
of the party in the state, and is one
of the. most active of the free silver
advocates. Holidays friends contend
that as Osborne absolutely refused to
accept the nomination for governor at
the last election, and refused to take
any place upon the state tickeh, he for
feited his claims to any horiors that
are now to be bestowed. That Holli-
day, who accepted the gubernatoriaI
nomination, and led the forlorn hope
of the party, is entitled to the place.
Holiday, too. is strong free silver
man. The delegation TO Chicago will
probably be NJ. F. Black, Sheridan
county; H. Rasmussen, Carbon county;
John Cannon, Uinta; Meyer Frank,
Weston; W. H. Holiday. Albany, and
Colin Hunter, Laramie county.

Resolutions of the State Democratic
Convention Denounce Cleveland.

Resolutions of the State Democratic
Convention Denounce Cleveland.
COLUMBIA, S. c., May 2O--The state
Democratic convention met at noon
today, organized, appointed committees
on resolutions and platform and revis-
ion of the party constitution, and then
took recess until s p. m.
When the convention reassembled
Senator Tillman. chairman of the com
mittee on platform, presented the re-
port of the committee.
1t denounces the administration OF
President Cleveland as undemocraItic
and tyrannical; repudiates the con-
struction placed on the financial plank
OF the last Democratic convention by
President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle; denounces the issue of bonds;
expresses the belief that '~rhe power
and usurpations of the federal courts
as now organized is dangerous to the
republic demands the calling OF
constitutional convention to form an
organic law suitable to the changed
conditions and the growth of the coun-
try; a more economical administration
of national affairs; demands the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
ratio of 16 TO 1, regardless of the ac-
ton of any and all other nations, and
the enlargement of the powers OF the
interstate commerce commission.
Much of the wording of the platform
is in line with Senator Tiliman'
speeches on the subject covered.
A minority report signed by two
members was presented. asking the
elimination of the condemnation Of
President Cleveland and demanding a
pledge to abide the action of the ma
tional convention.
A number of speeches were made.
Senator Irby supported the anti-bOlt-
ing declaration, charging that Tillman' s
ambition to be president, which could
not be gratified by the Democracy, was
at the bottom of the boiling PROPOSE
ton.
Senator Tillman replied in bitter
speech, and the platform drafted by
him was then adopted.
The following delegates at large were
elected: B. F. Tillman, J. c. Evans, w.
H Elderbee and D. ]. Bradham.
These and the delegates elected from
the seven congressional districts are all
for free silver at Is to 1.

FULL OF KINDNESS.
Bishop Fosters Farewell Address to
the Methodists in Conference.


CLEVELAND, May 2o.-Today's ses-
sion of the Methodist Episcopal general
conference was devoted to the transac-
ton of routine business, which was sand
Wiched in between the ballots for the
election Of two agents of the book con-
Germ leach for New York and Cincinnati,
and two agents of the Missionary society.
The conference did not lose any time.
An incident of the session was an adj
dress by retiring Bishop Foster that
was full OF kindly feeling for the dele
gates and of apologies for the action of
the conference in voting him non-effi-
Gent Bishop Foster said that since his
retirement he had been flooded with tele-
grams and letters of sympathy. in which
the action of the conference was char
acterized as an outrage and this cruel
and brutal. In some Of them the word
humiliation occurred. He said he had
been ffty-nine years a minister of the
Methodist church He had never con-
should be Inundated, nor had any
brother in the ministry or laity done any
thing which Inundated him He said the
writers of the letters of sympathy did
not understand the economy Of the
church which provides that the time must
come in every mans life when he must
be superannuated. That was what had
happened to him. He believed the hearts
of the delegates were affectionately dis
posed to him and that their action was
for the best. He would go into retirement
with the kindliest and most loving re-
membranes and without feelings of re-
sentiment
AS Bishop Foster concluded. Bishop
Bowman arose and said: "All that / de-
sire TO say is: Amen"

Herald from London says:
It is learned on the highest authority
that the Armenian question is about to
enter a new phase. At this moment
movement is on foot here, in Paris and
in Brussels in favor of reconciliation of
the Armenians with Turkey. There is
every reason to believe this movement has
been started with the consent of the
sultan. His majesty has been wildly i'm

dent of the Commercial National bank,
which failed in the panic of 1893, was ar
rested here today on Indictments charging
him with incorporation of the funds
of the bank and making false reports to
the government. He was released under
5000 bail. Sidney B. McClurkin, paying
teller of the bank, indicted with Dow was
arrested this afternoon at Colorado

Commercial bank on almost worthless Sc
curity, has also been indicted, but the
federal authorities refuse to talk about
the matter. Miller is an intimate friend
of Dow and was one of the directors of
the Miller Hernia company when he made
the heavy loans to Miller, knowledge of
which he kept from the bank directors

GOLD STANDARD.
New Hampshire Convention Bows to
the Hat.

CONCORD. N. H.. May 0.-The New
Hampshire Democratic state convention
met today to choose MISUNDERSTANDING
to the national convention Harry Bling
ham presided. He said the platform Of
the national convention must be broad
enough for every true Democrat to stand
on and its declaration so plainly ex-
pressed as to be incapable of more than
one construction. The nominees must be
men whose records are in harmony with
the platform.
The committee on resolution submitted
their report.
The financial plank is as follows: 'Un-
der the present conditions there can be
but one standard of value, and the three
kinds of currency should rest upon a gold
basis as long as gold is the standard
recognized by the great commercial ma
tons of the world. We heartily commend
the action of President Cleveland in so
firmly maintaining our public credit and
faith. in the face of formidable opposi-
tion.''
The platform was adopted without a
dissenting voice.
The following del gates-at-large were
elected by acclama tion-Frank Jones,
Alvah w. Sulloway, Irvine W. Drew and
Charles A. Sinclair. Alternates-Frank
N. Chase Sylvester H. Danforth. Colonel
Frank G. Noyes and William A. Plum
