LACK OF FUNDS THE CAUSE.
Why Reports Of the CommlssiOuer Of
Education Were Delayed.

EOucatAOm were Deluyed.
The annual report of the commissioner
Of education fer the year 1886 is now in
the hands Of the printers. and will soon be
ready for distribution. The report for
1896-y7 win be ready fer the printer 10y
November. This Is change of the condi-
ton that existed in the issuance of re-
ports Of the bureau of education several
years ago. The report of 1914 was three
years old when It was given to the public.
and similar or greater delay character
lied about all Of its publications. This de-
lay was caused by lack of appropriations
to pay for getting the books out promptly.
but there has been SO great an interest
In the publications that dissatisfaction was
caused among educators receiving them
and DIR. Harris. commissioner of education,
has made q special effort to have the re-
ports before the public promptly. Here
after he hopes to have his annual reports
for the fiscal year ready for distribution
before the close Of the next school year.

RECLAssIFyIxG PUPILS.
A Suggestion by missioner Harris
Being AdOpted.

Some years ago DR.. Harris, the commits
sioner Of education. put forward the Idea
that schools should be divided into sections,
so that the more advanced pupils need not
confine themselves to- the pace set by the
slower ones nor the slower ones be forced
faster than they could pursue to advan-
tage. He advocated that these sections be
rearranged from time to time with a view
to the changing standing OF the scholars.
This idea is being adopted In many parts
of the country, especially in the higher
grades. Information has just been received
here that this method viii be adopted in
the grammar schools of Atlanta, Ca, dur
ing the coming school year.

FRAUD IN DEPORTATION.
Chinese Secure Free Transportation b,

Chinese Secure Free Transportation by
Des roying Certificates.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, August 10
1t is believed by the Collector of the
Port and some of the officials of the
Chinese Bureau that some Chinese are
taking advantage of the deportation
laws to secure free passage back to
China
The law provides that unregistered
Chinese found in this country shall be
imprisoned one year and then be de-
ported. The Imprisonment part of the
law is not mandatory, but is within the
power of the Court. 1t has never been
sought to be enforced, because it was
thought useless to unnecessarily fill up
the penal institutions of the country.
Some of the Chinese who had made
small fortune and were ready to go
back to China to spend the rest of their
DAYS are said to have taken advantage
of this, and. tearing up their certifi-
Gates Of registration, have had some
friend inform on them, whereupon
they would be arrested and deported.
It is not believed that these frauds
have been perpetrated in this city, be-
cause the penal clause of the law has
been pretty well understood here and
the danger from it known. But in some
of the interior towns of the State, and
in some of the other States it is believ-
ed il has been done.
This matter will be looked into here
after in all deportation cases, and the
penal clause of the law will be enforced
wherever it is thought that fraud is
being perpetrated.

Captain of Iroquois Finds

Dean Wayland Quotes Chief Jus
tice Judd to Brown Univer-

WASHINGTON, August 10.-The an
nouncement from San Francisco that
the steamship China Of the Pacific Mail
Company sailed from that port carry
ing the Hawaiian flag is received here
as having special significance at this
time. Several of the vessels of this
company engaged in trade with China
and Japan are of British build, and, OF
course, carry the English flag.
Shortly after the passage of the act
under which American registry was
given to the steamships New York and
Paris of the International Line an eff
fort was made by the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company TO secure Ameri-
can registry for their foreign-built
ships. but the effort was not success
full, simply for the reason that the Pa
cific Mail Company was not willing to
comply with the conditions under
which registry was given to the New
York and Paris.
The transfer at this time of the Pa
cific Mail Company's vessels to the
Hawaiian flag is an indication that the
company is hopeful that annexation
will be accomplished at the coming
session of Congress, and that by The
act of annexation they will secure
American registry and the American
flag for their foreign-built ships. 1t il
expected that other owners of foreign
built vessels will follow the example
Of the Pacific Mail Company and plac
their vessels under the Hawaiian flag
with the expectation of speedily secur
ing American registry.

A REMARKABLE CURE OF CHRON-

In 1862, when 1 served my country
as private in Company A, 18th Penn

chronic diarrhoea. 1t has given me a
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief Not long ago a
friend sent me a sample bottle Of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, and after that 1 bought
and took a bottle; and now can say
that I am entirely cured. I cannot be
thankful enough to you for this great
Remedy, and recommend it to all suf-
fering veterans. If in doubt, write me.

NEW YORK, August Captain
Taylor and the crew of the American
clipper ship Iroquois, which arrived to-
day from Honolulu, found on an island
in the South Pacific Ocean natives who
spoke English and who were hospita-

the Island of Attutaki, one of the Cook
group. The Iroquois hove to and the
natives came off to the ship in canoes,
bringing coeoanuts, oranges and
tropical fruits, fowls, pigs and curios
consisting of shells, fish hooks, copra,
cloths and fans. The men said that the
island had population of 900 natives
and 10 whites, the last named being
missionaries and school teachers. After
exchanging gifts the ship continued on
her way.

TO RESTRAIN MINERS.
Injunction Granted to Prevent Strfk-

ers From Marching.
PITTSBURG, Pa, August r.
Sweeping and far-reaehing injunctions
now figure in the coal miners strike in
the Pittsburg district. The develop
ments of today tend TO make the sit
uation a strained one and it appears
that a crisis is near at hand.
The Sheriff's proclamation, issued
two weeks ago, restraining the men
from assembling and marching has
been a dead letter and the marches
have been continued daily No disturb
ance of any kind has occurred.
The much-talked-of bill for an in
junction against the United Mine
Workers was filed in the County Court
about noon by counsel for the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal Com
pany. The defendants named are the
United Mine Workers of America, Pat
rick Dolan, president; Edward Mckay,
president: William Warner. sec
rotary and treasurer, and others.
The plaintiff company sets forth
that it is a corporation under the laws
of Pennsylvania with a capital of ST.
100000 invested in the coal lands of
Pennsylvania Three of their mines
employing 1,200 men are Plum Greek.
Turtle Creek and Sandy Greek. The
bill then recites the conditions prevail
ing at their mines since the strike be-
gun and alleges that the strikers have

paid no attention to the Sheriff's warn
ing and the lives of the miners at the
property Of the company are in dan
ger.
Judge Collier granted temporary
injunction restraining the defendants
from assembling, marching or encamp-
ing in proximity to the mines and
houses of the miners for the purpose
by intimidation, threats and opprobri-
Gus words of preventing the miners of
the plaintiff from working 1t further
restraints the defendants from inducing
or compelling any employee or miner
to quit work. A hearing was fixed for
August 10th.
The injunction is regarded as the
most sweeping yet issued.

Brown University.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., August 10.-H.
A. Wayland of Kansas City, dean of
Brown University, has addressed a
lengthy communication to Professor
Clarke and other members of Brown
University. in reply to the latter's open
letter to the corporation. In it men
ton is made of President Andrews res
ignation and the issues at stake.
Continuing, he says: THE real
questions involved are, think, three
fold. First: Has an instructor, a min
lister, an editor, the president of bank
or of a college, the right to use his po-
sition to give currency and authority to
his views without being open to sug-
gestion from those who have placed
him in his position?
Il regret that the president by his
resignation seems to say, I regard my
views as of such importance that no
consideration can induce me to for
bear the expression of them
at is stated that Dr. Andrews is to
engage in an educational enterprise, TO
be endowed and controlled by John
Brisbane Walker. If 1t should chance
in the future that the views of DR..
Andrews should diverge from those of
Mr. Walker, will Mr.. Walker entertain
the opinion which the president now
cherishes as 10 independence?
Second: Was the occasion such as
to justify the request of the corpora
ton? The Chief Justice of the Ha-
waiian Islands recently said the adj
yocates of free coinage in the Islands
were told that the weight of the in
telligence and the integrity of the
American people were against their
views
Third: Was there any want of cour-
tesy in the manner in which the cor
poration conveyed their suggestions to
the president? The suggestion that is
in the air about the president being
forced out is as groundless as the as
sertion that his independence is COM
promised"

MADE A FORTUNE IN PEARLS.
Sammuel Harris Back From Pro-
fitable Trading Trip.

Samuel Harris, young man who
has been trading in the South Seas
during the past year, arrived here
Wednesday on the brig Galilee, bring
ing with him a snug fortune in pearls
and other valuables which he secured
from the natives at small cost, says the
Chronicle of August 18th.
Harris left here on the barkentine
Tropic Bird last August with about
SO 900 worth of merchandise for trad
ing purposes. He went first to Papeete
and entered into negotiations with
several Tahitian mercantile houses and
Tahitian natives for pearls. He was so
successful in his trading during the
first 10 months of his stay that he &C
cumulated pearls valued at not less
than $4,000 Harris says that shortly
after his arrival he secured a black
pearl from a native diver for the in
significant sum of 81 and within "a
hours he had sold it to Caspar Coppen-
rath. a Tahitian merchant at Papeete
for S2,400 He is enthusiastic over the
business opportunities offered to trad
ers in the South Seas, and intends to
return to Tahiti within two months.
