Of illteracy in South Carolina, As, is

6.5l 10 the North Atlantic states, IA
in the North Central states, 1IO1 in
the Western states, 26 % in the South
Atlantic states Gucluding South Caro-

paid were as follows: First grade male

teachers, S2O.lO; first grade female

him, but that 1 wou d become person

one OF the city dailies l saw that Gov.
Mckinley was billed for big speech
in Indianapolis. l took the train for
the HoOsier capital and arrived there
about an hour before the governors
special train pulled in. There was al
immense crowd at the depot, and
thousands of people were lined up on
each eide of the street, clear to the De-
nison house, where Mr. Mckinley was
to stop. I knew right away that if l
stayed at the depot would not even
get an opportunity to shake hands with
the governor. Consequently I took d
car to the Denison house and awaited
the arrival of Mr.. McKinley's car.

imports of money which would other

AMERICAS CHINESE POLICY
This Country VIII support EngIand-Dc'
mands EgunI Rights.

NEW York, Jan. ej.-Thcre is rea
son to believe that the moral infiu'
ence OF the United States will support
Great Britain in its efforts to keep
China open to the markets Of the
world, says the Washington cor
respondent Of the Herald. The only
active steps which the administration
will probably take will be to enter the
negotiations with Germany respecting
the treatment Of American ships en-
tcring ao.Chau and such other ports
in China rs may be seized in the future
by RusSia or Japan.
III China has leased Kiao.Chau on
the condition that it shall be opened
by Germany as n Chinese port, then 1t
will not be necessary for tho President
TO take tho steps in the matter" said
an official OF the administration. ut
will mean that the commerce of all
nations will be allowed Unrestricted
entry thereto. IL, as we believe, how
ever, Kiao. Chau should be leased to
Germany without conditions, then
Germany will have the right, aud
will undoubtedly exercise it, to put
in operation port and customs reg
u~lations such as arc now in force
in German home ports The United
States cannot make objection to the
extension Of such regulations in Kiao-
Chau In such an event for IL will be
German soil to all intents and pur-
poses, as in Hamburg. However, the
Standardization will cxpcc. from Ger
many any privileges that may be
granted by her to any other nation,
and will therefore reap the advan-
tugcs which Great Britain's attitude
against thu shutting OF tho Chinese
door To the commerce OF the world
will give. This is required in accord
ance with the articles OF the treaty
between Prussia and the United
States Of May !, 1893. which provides:
III either party shall hereafter grant
to any other nation any particular IA
vor OF nayigat!on or commerce., it
shall immediately become common to
the other party where it is freely
| granted to such nation. or yielding
the same compensation when the
grant Is conditional"
Attaches OF the Chinese legation are
naturally very much pleased at the
attitude assumed by Great Britain, as
they appreciate that she will have the
moral innuenoc Of the United States
and other nations trading with China,
which have no territorial designs on
the Celestial empire. The policy
which Great Britain has inaugurated
means, they feel confident, the con
tinued integrity OF the Chinese gov
ernnent
BERLIN. Jan. 2a-The following
semi official announcement vas made
to-day. l''The statements regarding
Gcrmnny's intention to open the port
OF Kiao Chou to tho OF the
world are practically correct. Ger
many desires that its policy in Chine
should be Of "a liberal character, not
interfering with the commerce o.
other nations"
