Don Dickinson Explains About That Seal.
ing Seizures Award.
Detroit. Dec. 2i-Don NJ. Dickinson,
senior counsel for the United States,
commenting on Canadian press reports
concerning the amount of the Behring
sea award. said: There is no official
announcement Of the amount Of the
award. but whatever 1t may be the
Canadian newspapers are clearly in err
ror. The compromise offer by the Cleve-
land administration in August. 1894, was
$i25,O0o Of principal. II the commits
sioners have adopted that as a basis. as
these papers c!aim-a legally impossible
theory. howeyer-their award must
have been for that amount and inter-
est. as claimed. at per cent, from the
date OF the seizures. The total sum
would be. on that basis. over 500, 600.
But after the defeat of the COM
promise the treaty was made under
which this commission or arbitration
has been proceeding. In that treaty
| were included large claims. which were
| not before the governments on the
compromise. As. for instance. those
designated as additional claims and
the item OF Great Britain's expenses in
the courts. I show You here the original
British printed schedule Of them. as
presented 90 the commissioners. The
total. with interest. which under the
treaty they were entitled to present, is
TO be accurate. 81. Sos Al, so. and IL the
award that has been rendered gives
them this. Great Britain is entitled to
congratulations and counsel to knight
hoods or peerages. the same as the 9th.
er counsel received after the Paris
award. The British counsel deserve
them for their labors anyway, for ADLER
men there are none"

PROGRAM
For Graduating Exercises
OF SaIem's Public Schools on FRI
day Night.

Since the last graduating exercises
OF the Salem public schools, the per
cent. necessary for graduation In the
several branches to be obtained In the
final examinations has been raised
several per cent. This was observed
by writer OF the JOURNAL in looking
o7er some statistics Ia City Superin-
tendent G.. A. PEBBLES Office this
morning. Thus IL will be seen that
no class that has previously graduated
from our public schools has been re-
quired TO attain the stan dard Of prof.
cheney in all the requirements of the
course Of study that this class has.
This is especially complimentary to
the individual members OF the class
which numbers thirty-four instead OF
thirty-eight as was stated in Monday
evenings JOURNAL.
The principals OF the various city
schools will hold meeting at the East
School building at 10 a. m. Thursday
at which time City Supt Geo. A Pee
bles will submit his term reports re-
garding the attendance, examinations
etc of the term just closed.
The past week has been an unusually
busy one for teachers and pupils. Ex-
amlnations will be concluded Wednes-
day and the students will be given the
two succeeding days to themselves.
The members Of the graduating class
met at the home of Prof q. II. Jones,
under whose instruction they have
been the past term.and enjoyed them
selves. The professors home on High
street was taken possession OF by the
young folks who did not permit a
moment TO pass unemployed In pleas
ant amusement. Prof. Jones proved
equally as proficient In entertaining
his pupils in social sphere as In In
structing them within the school room
IL was an occasion long TO be remem-
bered by both graduates and professor.
The graduating exercises viii take
place In Reeds Opera House on Fri
day evening, small admission fee OF
10 cents will be asked TO defray the in.
cIdental expenses. A very creditable
and interesting program, which ap-
pears below, has been prepared and
will be presented on Friday evening.

A big attraction Louis James in
Spartacus, Reeds Opera house,
Wednesday night.
"No production seen here in many
days demonstrates the progress in
scene painters art as does Louis
James admirable exposition of the
''Spartacus the Gladiator" says the
Chicago Tribune.
The performance requires ten
changes OF scene, and for each Of these
a complete scenic outfit is provided.
They are all handsome and new,
OF these, the most striking are the
Via Scara OF Rome, the ball OF col
umns In the Praetor'S Palace, the
Rome Campagna, the tapestried
chamber OF Crassus, the view OF the
Gulf OF Naples with smoky Nesuyius
In the distance and aboYe all the
Arena scene OF the Great Rome Am
phitheatre. Nothing equal 10 the
latter has ever been seen here. 1t is
the most Elusive bit OF stage effect
ever devised by human ingenuity and
carried out by skilled painters. 1t is
on the plan OF the panOramas. The
effect is Of showing the whole interior
OF the huge oval arena, the auditor
ium OF the theatre completing the
circle. The distances are handled
with such cOnSnmmate skill as 10
give the impression OF a depth OF
stage wholly out OF proportion with
the reality. One would almost swear
70 stage 300 feet deep, 50 great Is the
illusion, Ii is here that the heroic
rhracian meets and conQuers the
greatest gladiatorS OF Rome, A more
realistic picture OF these atrOciOus
sports OF ancient Rome could not De
asked. James has eclipsed all his
former triumphs with u superb inter
probation OF the title role. He Is
ideally the king OF the arena"
