NEW BANKRUPT RULES.

Washington, November 29-The
United States supreme court today,
through Justice Gray, announced
the new bankruptcy rules which it
was authorized to frame aud pro-
mulgate under the bankruptcy act
Of January /, 1898. The rules have
been awaited with much interest,
as a number of courts decline TO
proceed with bankruptcy cases un-
til the supreme court announced
the new rules. Justice Gray an
nounced that the new rules would
take effect on Monday, January 2,
1899, and all proceedings hereto.

Secretary Longs Recommendation.


Secretary Long in his annual re-
port recites with official tormality
the great victories of the late war.
The Importance of the document,
however, lies in its recommendation
of measures which, If adopted, will
put the United States in the posi-
tion of a iirst-class naval power.
When the present American
navy was first projected it was en-
the theory that the United States
by virtue of its position, its isola-
ton and its policy of non-interfer-
euce, could get along very well
with a nayal force which need be
only strong enough to act on the
defensive and to compel respect
from the irresponsible powers most
likely to offend. Many of the yes
sells then in use we're obsolete and
some of them we're not seriously TO
be considered as fighting ships at
ALL
But the war has changed all this
so effectually that now the public
hears without surprise and congress
will probably hear with appreciation
that the secretary of the navy
wants three more first-class battle
ships to add to a feet of nine bat
tleships of that class already COM
pleted, and that he also wants
three armored cruisers, three pro-
tected cruisers and six cruisers of
smaller size, the whole number of
new vessels to cost $36, 1903
Owing to the fact that very re-
cent activities in naval circles
abroad have resulted in considera-
BILE changes in the worlds naval
forces, it is not possible to say just
what position the United States
will hold among other powers if Mr.
Longs suggestion are adopted,
| According to the statistics at the
close of last year the additions will
place the United States ahead OF
every power except Great Britain
and France.
That such an increase in nayal
strength should seem to be entirely
| justified by the extent of the heavy
responsibilities recently incurred is
a messure of the stride which the
nation has taken in assuming the
position of a power interested in
the worlds affairs. The increased
navy will enable the nation to meet
the Philippine problems with the
assurance that it need not hesitate
in its plans for fear of lacking the
physical means of putting them
into effect.-Chicago Record.

built on the site of the old, dilapi-

OF the old district system this town main
tanned nine schools. In two of the districts
where schools were then held, there are
now only two scholars to be provided for
We are now maintaining seven schools, and
there are but very few cases where schol-
ars have to go greater distance than un-
der the old system, and in these cases pro-
vision has been made for transportation.
The directors have endeavored to give the
scholars of this town the best opportunities
to attend school possible under existing
circumstances, certain reports to the con-
trary, notwithstanding. Your correspond
emit says "Citizens Of the town are central
izing all the power and modifying all their
forces in the village more and more every
year." We fail to see that this has any con-
nection whatever with the schools. ALL
the directors are farmers and the nearest
one to the village lives mile distant. The
teachers in the village schools are nom
residents. The average expense per schol-
ar in the village schools is only about six
dollars, while in all other schools in town
pendent is also anxious that the school law
should be well ventilated" He is not
obliged to wait until the case now under
consideration is tried in the higher court to
satisfy his curiosity, as cases covering ex.
actly the same ground have been tested in
the courts OF Washington and Orleans
counties and thence to the supreme court
The decisions by said courts are on record

made report to the Senate on the resolution
passed February 81 last directing an inves-

view Of the careful inquiry of the naval
court and that which was later made by the
Senate committee on foreign relations, they
deem investigation by the naval committee
unnecessary.
