Remain Observation-Disclosures Re
fuse to Make Tariff Concessions.

st. Johns, N. F., Dec. lit is re-
ported in official circles here today
that the Anglo-American joint high
commission, having under consideration
the questions in dispute between Can
ada and the United States, will ad-
journ on Thursday next, to resume its
sittings next March, after the eXpira-
ton of the present congress, when a
special session of the United States
congress, then under Republican con-
troll, will be called to ratify treaty
submitted by the joint high commits
sion.
washington, Dec lit has been
agreed by the joint high commission
of Americans and Canadians, which
has been in session here several weeks,
to adjourn at an early date. This has
not yet been formally announced, but
it is understood the day fixed for adj
| journment is Dec 20. On the evening
of Dec 10 the Canadians will give a
banquet, to which the Americans will
| be invited.
The understanding is the sessions
will not be. resumed until after March
next, when the American commission
ers, who are members of the house and
senate, will have leisure to devote tC
the negotiations. Whether the sessions
will be resumed at Quebec, where they
were begun, or in this city, has moi
been stated.
| The decision to adjourn has grown
out of the developments of the pas
week. While there are several proto
coils in the proposed treaty, notably the

les, reciprocity and questions affecting
the great lakes, reciprocity is the one
great subject in which the Canadians
are interested. Last week the high
commissioners came nearer than they
have ever been before to the discussion
of that subject. The Canadians had
submitted proposals, and on Wednes-
day the Americans submitted counter
proposals. These contemporaries
showed the Americans We're disposed
to be very unyielding, and that much
smaller concessions would really be
made than had been expected. The
negotiations of last week also con-
WINGED the Canadians that free lumber,
contamination they and all their peo-
pie have devoutly wished for, was inn
possible. The Americans not only told
the Canadians so, but the latter were
invited to the capitol, and, while there,
met several prominent members of the
/ house and senate, who impressed the
fact still more firmly upon them. It
is said the Americans have agreed to
small reduction of the duty on live
animals, and have intimated they may
agree to a. small reduction in the duty
on lumber, now 81 per thousand. The
Canadians had hoped for much larger
| concessions.
This condition of things, and the ap-
parent impossibility of reaching an
agreement before Christmas. are said
to have led to the decision for an adj
Journment. The senate may be called
IN session after March 4 to transact
business, when there would be ample
time to present any treaty that NAV
have been framed with Canada. All
present the outlook for an agreement
| is not bright.

If, to any noticeable degree, the first
efforts in elementary and gecondary
educationeha been diverted, or have
in any sense settled down with an ar
rested development, the fault is surely
not in the good they have reached, but
in their failure of continued progress.
Let it be remembered that these hrSt
efforts We're made, for the most part,
on the lines of mediaevalism, and a
first awakening is seldom more than a
half kind Of consciousness Of present
possibilities.
The higher conception of culture is to
do as well as to learr-largely to learn
by doing. As man comes more correct
" to know himself and his environ
ments, he gains that kind of knowl-
edge which is the only true basis of
I action, and attains that use of his
mind force which enables him increas-
ingly to govern the matter force of
life and so to multiply ell the forms OF
his strength and happiness.
It is not simply readers we want, but
workers. We are here to work, whether

the plow or at the desk; whether to
make a kettle or an engine, to rule a

The hope Of the human race is educa-
tional From the first dawn Of in
Negligence hope enthroned herself as an
Angel in the soul of man.
At the first experience of a conscious
good, it was hope that breathed into
life an undying desire to reach after
a still higher form Of good. This same
desire is the deeply embedded seed. the
indwelling secret of progress, and the
very motor force of human advance
ment.
The doctrine of evolution is undoubt-
edly the grandest conception Of the
nineteenth century; it has literally il
lumined the ge-retrospectiyely, 1t
has shot the brilliancy of its rays into
the depths Of antiquity. 1t has cleared
away the tangled bruShwood Of anthro-
biological beginnings; it has reached
the foundations OF archaeology and II
has built up a science Of language. By
the aid OF its inUerpretative agency the
pyramids Of EGYPT, the temples OF
3 Greece and the American mounds are
all made readable chapters in human
history.
Geology has risen into a captivating
clearness by the light of evolution; so
much so that we may affirm in simple
truth that the globe on which we live
is a highly educated planet, having
steadily evolved from chaotic condi-
tions to the sublimities of its present
conformation. So. likewise, with the

TAXATION SCHEME.

Attempts are now being made to collect
internal taxes, but at present armed
guards have to be sent with the collector.
The scheme of taxation is something like
this:
The central government levied on the
municipalities Ca municipality covers not
only a city, but a district, -<3ertain
amount that must be collected tor the
support of the government. The munich
pality adds TO that further sums Cor local
expenditures. The scheme of taxation by
which this total amount was collected
varies in the different municipalities. 1t
is quite the reverse from our internal
revenue taxes. for little, If anything, is
laid on the manufacture of spirits and to-
bacco. The best opinion is that the jude
iouS introduction of our internal revenue
system and the abandonment of the Span
ish system would be wise. The raising of
taxes on spirits would be a popular move
ment, and the abandonment of other
forms OF taxes would give the new
scheme further popularity. 1t is thought
by some that, for the present we are
collecting too much revenue, for the rea-
son that up to this time there has been
practically no expenditure.
There has been a good deal of disturb
ancef and destruction of property in
Aguadilla the province at the northwest
corner of the island, and in Mayaguez. 1t
is thought half a million dollars worth
of property has been destroyed in Aguadil-
la, and that practically nothing could be
raised there this season.

BASIS on EXCHANGED.

An army officer with whom 1 talked, is
in favor of an immediate forced substi-
tuition Of our currency for the present
Puerto Rican currency, and thinks this
might be done by military order fixing
the rate of exchange. The question is.
lieVed the average rate of exchange for
series of years should be taken. Ex-
change dealers have controlled the situa-
ton with little reference to the actual
balance of trade. It would be a hardship
on the debtor class to have the peso TOO
high, and the debtor class is the whole
working population of the island. There
is g. great amount of small debts. No one
seems to work without the spur OF a
payment of these debts in a coinage more
valuable than that in which they were
contracted would be a great harpship. 1t
is believed by some that to undervalue the
peso. guaged by the average exchange
rate, would work much less hardship
and would really come very near being
just. 1t would enable the small debtor
class to more easily meet their obliSa-
tons and would even, if the exact bullion
ample profit to the money-lenders, for
they have oppressed the borrowers with
an ingenious variety of methods. 1t was
suggested to me that with respect to
the issues of the Spanish bank they might
be redeemed in our money at the same
rate of exchange which we fix on the
peso. If that rate is low, then the bank
can better attempt the redemption. The
volume of the currency is reported to be
the original currency was from 100000 to
100000 pesos, it is thought by some that
there may not now be more than 100000
| that would be exchanged.

Should Be Changed.

STILL IN FORCE.
Proposition to Substitute United
States Currency-Rate of Ex-

Would Be Hardship On Debt
ors to Overvalue the Peso.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Assistant Secre-
tary Vanderlip, who is not expected here
until Dec. 20, in his second informal report
of his observations in Puerto Rico says
the history of the currency situation is
about this:
The island, some twenty-five years ago,
was using American currency. At that
time the Spanish government found the
value of silver declining, and 1t discovered
it would be profitable to make payment
in Mexican dollars, and in that way the
currency was brought to a silver basis.
The heavy payments for crops made a
redundant currency and a great deal of
it was shipped away. Eventually, the
government decided on coinage for the
island, making a further profit by debaS-
ing the silver in the peso. The silver in
the peso is 800 fine The Spanish gov
eminent gave this new peso certain re-
deemability, Offering to redeem it at the
Bank of Spain at Madrid at 80 in gold, and
/ understand that some of the coins nave
been redeemed at that rate, although COM
paratively few of them have been carried
back to Spain.
One of the American commanders re-
ports to me that condition that must
be taken into account is the ownership or
most of the plantations. They are nearly
all owned by Spaniards; a great many
of them by Spanards residing in Spain.
This has resulted, instead of an apparent
balance of trade considerably in favor of
the island, in a real balance gainst the
island. The great sugar plantations owned
by people residing in Spain have year after
year, raised a crop of sugar at an ex-
tremely low labor cost. The sugar has
been sold abroad and practically the
whole return for it has remained abroad,
creating no demand for exchange against
the island. About the only thing that has
been imported is a little calico, and while
the trade returns show a large excess of
exports, the value of those exports never
return in any form to the island.
When the American troops landed it was
thought an easy temporary solution of the
situation TO fix the rate of exchange as
between American dollars and pesos at
two TO one. That worked satisfactorily
for little while, but the exchange deal
ers soon found that they could make a
! more profitable rate of exchange, and
our ratio, therefore, became ineffective
| and imperative. The settlement of the
question lies between two extremes on
the one hand, the fixing of the value OF
the peso at the exact value of the bullion
and on the other giving it an equivalent
/ gold value equal to the nominal redeem
able rate of 50, which the Spanish gov
eminent fixed.

Killing at Franconia.

This morning at about 6:l5 o'clock William Riordan stabbed and killed Thomas Lowery in the dining room at Franconia. The two men were laborers on the railroad and had grudge against each other. Something was said that displeased Lowery and he jumped onto RiOrdan while the latter was seated at the table eating break fast. He blacked Riordan's eyes and had him pressed down behind the table throttling him. when Riordan grasped a case knike and with half-arm blow drove it into Lowery's breast below the left nipple. The wounded man lived but half hour. Although the dining room was full of men at the time. events passed so rapidly that Lowery was dying on the floor before the others could interfere.
