Prof. l.. f. Kenney of Providence said

a satisfactory solution Of the question.

Principal Homer T. Lewis spoke IA
cetiously Of his experience with Greek
and Latin roots, hen raising, etc, and in

president of the Massachusetts, Fruit
Growers Association, the next speaker,
offered the single toast, MAY the seeds

of the Boston society, which it was
impossible to get together, although the
society ran harmoniously
He seconded the remarks, urging the
further teaching Of nature study in the
public schools. He deplored the pres
ent system of teaching in the public
schools, saying that he was confident
that ii made children little less than
ignoramuses. He urged the interesting
of school children in plants. In clos
ing. he pointed out the value Of ir-
rigation in Massachusetts, giving a
number Of examples. He hoped agricul-
turists would avail themselves of the
resources which nature had placed at
their disposal

DR.. HADLYS VIEWS.
Yale Professor Discusses Span
ish Question Before His Class.
Lee An Able Man The Sensational Press
in the Way of an Easy Adjustment
of the Difficulty.

New Haven, Conn, March 9.-Proh
Arthur 7. Hadley, in his lecture to his
class of political economy at Yale to-
day, expressed his views on the present
international difficulty between the
United States and Spain.
Prof. HadIey reviewed at length
spain's government of the island Of
Cuba, and the atrocities practiced bv
Gen. Weyler and also discussed the re-
iatlonS Of a business nature existing be-
tween Americans and the island of
Cuba. He called Consul Lee "a ver-v effi-
clent man, at first somewhat indiscreet.
especially under the Cleveland admin
lStrauon, but now more cautious and
noted more for efficiency than sense Of
FORM
Continuing, Prof Had1ey said, as to
the Maine disaster, no proof of foul play
has come to light In the matter of in
termational comfy, recognition of Cuban
Independence would be equivalent to a
declaration of war By principle of in
ternauonal law, so long as Spain has not
ceased to wage war in Cuba, and so long
as the insurgents are not in possession
of a well defined territory, and preserv-
ing order there, the United States are
not justified in recognizing Cuba's inde-
pendence. We might, by stretching a
point, recognize the Cubans as belliger-
ents, as England recognized the confed-
crate states during the civil war. If such
a recognition was accorded just now, it
would probably precipitate war. I wish
we could ask England to go in with us.
and offer joint mediation, but under the
existence of the Munroe doctrine, we
cannot very well do So The impossible
ity of reaching the natural peaceful So
luton is due largely to the influence Of
the sensational press.
What will become of the trouble it is
impossible to say, but it is great safe
guard to this country that President
Mckinley fought in the civil war and
therefore knows the horrors and suffer-
ings entailed by war. If, as citizens of
the United States, we keep cool, we may
trust our government to keep cool AS
Bismarck said of the Armenian question,
so / may say of this matter, drawing a
parallel inference: '"The Armenian ques-
| ton is not worth the blood Of German
soldier from the fatherland.'
| When we consider how great the evils
of war, and how doubtful the chance Of
helping a people who have not estab-
! Iished their own independence, the coun-
/ sci of wise men should be for peace.

ish Divers at Work.

Havana, March 9-Senator Proctor
left today for Key West, and will go to

The arrival Of the Montgomery was

Dor.

Quarterly Meeting of the Board Held in
Boston Wednesday,

Boston, March 9.-The quarterly meet
ing Of the board OF trustees of the Unit
ed Society of Christian Endeavor was
held this afternoon.
President Clark's report stated that
there had been constant progress in
numbers and in the character and
quality of the work accomplished by the
society during the quarter Not only in
our own country and Great Britain,
where the registration has been unusu-
ally large of late, but of other lands
this is true. A new interest has been
aroused in Paris, where the Endeavorers
have formed an active local union for
the spread of the work in that city. A
strong society has been formed in Ge-
neva, which promises to be the mother
of many more In Germany there are
now 60 Christian Endeavor societies.
Word has been received from Gottburg,
in Sweden, also, of a society of 300
members.

port, which showed the total number of

CIVIL SERVICE REPORT.
President Should Make Certain Modifica-
tons in Existing Rules.

Washington, March 9-Senator Pritch-
ard, chairman of the committee on civil
service, today presented the report of
that committee on the recent investiga-
ton of the classified service, embodying
the conclusion of the committee, as
follows:
First, that the executive has the
power to make such notifications as
may be found advisable, and, therefore,
no legislation is needed.
Secondly, the committee is agreed
that the classification has been too ex-
tensive, and that certain places that
have been classified should be excluded
from classification, so that the appoint
mentS may be made to them not
through legislation, but at the pleasure
of the head of the department or bu-
reau.
"The committee, therefore, is of the
opinion that the president should make
certain notifications in the existing
civil service rules and should restore to
the heads of the departments and the
heads of bureaus the appointment of
certain classes of officials. The commit
tee, however, recognizes that It's pro-
vince in the matter is purely advisory,
since it has no legislation to propose"
Among the offices which the commit
tee recommended should be excluded
from the classified service, are the fol-
lowing: Deputy commissioners, deputy
collectors of internal revenue, agents
who are employees of the commissioner
of internal revenue; temporary store
keepers and gaugers; certain lighthouse
employees, payTnaSters in the New York
customs; shipping commissioners at the
various ports, inspectors of hulls and
boilers all positions in the custodian
service; assistant attorneys and special
agents in the department of justice and
deputy United States marshals.
Senator Lodge presented his views in
a separate report, which, while it agrees
in the main with the report submitted
by Senator Pritchard, does not present
so long list of persons whom he would
have exempted from the operations of
the civil service law. His list includes
deputy collectors OF internal revenue,
deputy collectors Of customs. private
secretaries to executive officials assist
ant district attorneys, ard assistant
United States marshals. tIe thinks a
complete revision Of the system of To-
cal examining boards of the pension Of
flee is necessary, and that the system
should be so changed as to secure a
uniformity of rating. He thinks the
service ought to be extended to the con-
gressional library, and the clerical force
In the district of Columbia. Remark
ing generally upon the conclusions of
the committee, Mr.. Lodge says:
IF changes in rules or classifcations
are needed in any direction, they can
! be made by the president, and they
should be entrusted to him in conformi-
| ty with the wise policy embodied
| in the law of 1888. Therefore,
as the committee does no. intend 10
propose any legislation. the suggestions
which it desires to make are simple
suggestions and nothing more, submit
ted to the president to whom full power
to make all regulations for the civil SER

Senior Mendonca, the Brazilian minis

warships now in course of construction

there is a better prospect of securing
ships now building for Argentine and

as to her willingness to part with any
