London, Sept. 1S.-The Times this
morning publishes the gist of the corre-
spondance between Secretary Sherman
and Lord Salisbury in the Behring sea
controversy. The book covers a period
beginning with 1895 and ending with
July 30 Of the prsent year. Altogether
there are 10I dispatches, which show
that the United States has pressed for
revision since January, 1895. The Times
remarks Though Mr.. Sherman so far
forgot himself as to sign the famous dis
patch We cannot suppose that he actu-
ally wrote it" Only the concluding
paragraph Of the dispatch is republished.
all the terms deemed discourteous being
omitted. The Times then adds: Lord
Salisbury wisely refrained from answer
ing the dispatch in detail. He confined
hilnscf TO imparting n short note to
Ambassador Hay, dated July rs. 1897,
stating that the government was willing
to agree TO meeting of the experts in
October. preferably in Washington, and
that ether portions Of Mr. Sherrnan's
dispatch. in SO far as they required any
reply from her majesty's government,
had been answered by anticipation in
dispatches he lord Salisbury had ad-
dressed to Sir Julian Pauncefoteon April
% and May :. which had been comrnu-
nicated to the government of the United
States on July 26.''

THE SUMMER SCHOOL.
Continuation of DIR. Browns In
tereSting Talk.


At the Summer School yesterday
morning DR.. Brown continued his ad-
dress on The Relation of the Feel
ings to Education" He spoke of the
feeling of emulation.
A certain amount Of emulation is a
good thing, because it is true TO the
condition of life. This should not be
an emulation 10 surpass others, but to
surpass ones self. PriZe-giving is bad.
Emulation in the form of debates is
common among good teachers, but
there is a better kind of emulation. In
debate, the energy of the pupil is given
to maintaining a position previously
taken. The effort should be to find the
truth of the position. The method of
discussion or cooperative seeking af-
ter truth, proposed by Ziller, is prefer
able. There is emulation brought into
exercise by this method, but 1T is OF a
far better kind than that brought out
by debate. 1t encourages cooperation.
The kind of relationship that should
A really affectionate relation be-
tween teacher and pupil is good, but
confidence and respect and the quieter
emotion is to be preferred to wild
admiration.
The lecturer should create hope.
THAT that the children desire to do,
that that that they desire and seek af-
ter earnestly, that that they believe
they can do, that they can do. Pes

After DR.. Browns address Mrs. Dill
bingham spoke of visit to Tompkins
School.
This school is Professor Browns
child 1t is a district school of eight
rooms and four rooms for kindergar-
ten. 1t is an observation school. The
children are taught to observe, and the
teachers observe the children. 1t is
not a select school. The children are
of the laboring class, and are of differ
ent nationality. Visitors are invited
to visit any of the rooms, but are re-
quested not to interrupt the teachers.
Recess-The children during recess
mend their clothes.
The lesson in one room was on the
lizard. They had live lizards there.
Decorations all around the rooms
were pictures of animal and bird life,
grouped and classified. Flowers were
attached to sheets of paper and sup
piled a theme for instruction in ele-
mentary botany. The observation has
been made there that the attention of
the child of can be kept for seven
minutes.
The other classes took the usual
course, except that, this being Friday,
Mr.. Townsend took Professor Browns
afternoon class and discussed the keep
ing of registers.

Waity'S Wheel Found.

H. Waity has found his wheel, after
much patience in the matter of search
ing. 1t was in possession of a native
boy, who lives directly opposite
Waity's residence, and who was calmly
riding up and down the street, as if
nothing in the world were out of the
way. Waity walked out and stopped
the native. When questioned, he said
that a native by the name of John Ko-
pena had loaned it to him, SO Waity
went down to the police station and
had warrant sworn out for John. The
wheel was stolen from the front of the
Arlington billiard parlors, on Hotel
street

GARDENER ROBBED.
Gonsalves' House Broken Into

GonsaIves' House Broken Into
and $50 Stolen.
Gonsalves, the flower man, who has
his garden on the Pauoa road, near
the residence of A. T. Atkinson, was
robbed of $50 last night.
Gonsalves shut up his house at about
$50 o'clock and went down the road
to see a friend. He had been sitting
in the house but very few minutes,
when his boy, who was away when he
started out, came running into the
house with the information that the
front door had been broken in.
Gonsalves and his friend rushed up
to the house and found the door as
described by the boy. Various articles
were scattered all over the room. The
trunk was broken open and $50, most.
ly in gold, was missing. The thief or
thieves must have been watching Con-
salves when he went out, for the job
was done in a very short time. The
gardener suspects some of his
friends" who knew he had money in
the trunk.

NEW AMUSEMENT.s
To be Erected on Hotel Street
This Year.

MS ear.
1t is understood that an architect is
at work on plans for building on Ho-
tel street, next to the Bay Horse sa-
loon, to be used as a music hall or
theater for low-priced attractions
which may come here. The main hall
will be arranged, so that it may be
used for dances.
The property belongs to James
Campbell, and is now occupied by two
or three tumble-down shanties. A
prominent saloon man is understood
to be at the back of the enterprise, and
will, no doubt, succeed in having it
completed in first-class style. The OBJ
ject is to provide a place of amuse-
ment where low prices may be charged,
and so that Hotel street may continue
to be the center of attraction for the
night trade. The building will be of
brick and cement, of handsome design,
and will be completed before the end
of the year.

1T
WAS
GREAT

And it made a hit
worth remembering, did our
float, Love in a Cottage" in
the procession on Monday.
It was an illustration of a
kitchen furnished by us. 1t
showed how completely that
part of the home may be
furnished by us at the low
est possible cost.
If you remember it, the
Jewel stove stood supreme
in the cottage and if you had
inquired of the young house
keeper who occupied the
cottage, she would have told
you that as a fuel saver, the
Jewel is the best ever
brought to the country. She
would have told you that it
is the best baker she ever
had in the house. The bread
winner in the cottage would
have told you that the bis
cults he ate along the line of
march, baked in the Jewel
were quite as good as those
"his mother used to make"
The Jewel is the best in ev-
cry respect and the cheapest,
for the money, ever put on
the market.

by to make the house beau

EDITOR It is notable fact that a
large majority of these visitors are not

who depend upon their own eXertions

that there would not have been such an
unexpected outpouring of people for a
trip across the continent. The chronic

but times are not the less slowly but
certainly improving. The calamityites
sit like owls on a dead tree, blinking
in the glowing light and croaking about
gathering darkness. Better prices for
agricultural products is at present the

RETALIATION CD
Los Angeles Herald: The Republican
idea of reciprocity is retaliation. The
new tariff law will make trouble with
other countries and increase prices to
home consumers. How such an OBJ
jectionable policy is going to bring
prosperity is hard to see.
IN NATIONAL CONFERENCE.
San Jose Mercury: While Mr. Bryan
is touring California in the interests of
free silver and his standing candidacy
for the Presidency, the Peoples party
is holding a National conference at
Nashville, and it is not an insignificant
gathering. Twenty-Five States are
represented at this conference by BOB
duly accredited delegates. 1t is a mid
dle-of-the-road conference, composed
of Populists who believe in the princi
pies of the Peoples party, who are
neither Democrats nor Republicans,
who have partaken of the bitter fruits
of fusion, and who are determined that
hencefOrth they will stand or fall
alone, true to their convictions, what
ever may be the allurements held out
to them by Mr.. Bryan or the Demo-
cratic party.
Such, at least, is the conference in
theory, and there is no doubt that in
fact a majority of the delegates are
earnestly opposed to fusion, as, like
the members of the Populist Central
Committee of San Francisco, they find
it impossible to fuse among themselves.
When, for example, Populist Mcdowell.
of Tennessee, designated Populist
Lindsey of the same State as "a red
headed pap-sucker;" when Populist
Lindsey denounced Populist Mcdowell
as "a bullet-headed buzzard," and
when finally these two opponents Of
fusion began to smite each other with
their canes the sentiment against fus-
ion was so strikingly displayed that no
doubt could be entertained of its sim
cerity
