WASHINGTON, July 90. - Secretary
Alger is deeply concerned over the wel'
fare OF the gallant troops under SHAH
ter's command. now encamped ON the
outskirts OF Santiago. The health re-
port shows n surprisingly large num-
her Of cases of sickness, but army
surpeo authorize the statement that
these
Figures are Misleading
in a certain sense, and hat the aitua-
ton may not be nearly so bad as they
would seem to indicate. The slightest
ailment, of the most temporary nature,
s~ufices TO place a soldiers name on the
sick reports. which, in their present
shape, would not distinguish between
such "A case and one of serious or NOR
tai illness.
The Inference is that many of these
cases in Skaters camp are of a trivial
nature, but go to swell its grand total
of sick and wounded.

Cline
Notwithstanding this mitigating
fact, Secretary Alger is going to remove
the soldiers at the very earliest oppor-
tunity to a more Eealthful cline. The
surgeon general, under the direction
of the secretary, "a few days ago in
spected a tract of land adjoining Mon
tauk Point, L. L., belonging TO the
Long Island Railroad Co, which has
been offered to the government as
suitable for a large encampment. The
tract is three niles square. contains
an abundance Of fresh water, IA con-
siderable lake. a hill $50 feet in height
and many other sanitary advantages,
including salt water bathing.
The necessary orders to equip this as
acamping ground will go forward i'm
mediately, and every advantage will be
taken of the experience gained in the
formation of camps at Chickamauga
and Camp Alger to made the conditions
as comfortable as possible for the bat
tle-scarred veterans of Skaters army
in Cuba.
The time for their removal is left to

rhe Emperor'S Tributes to the SUI.
perIor1ty of Western Civilization.
Pekin, Sept. 20.-A remarkable series
of imperial edicts haYve been published
during the past few days. The edicts
have startled the officials, while making
a favorable impression upon the old
foreign residents, who are usually
skeptical as to the practical value OF
such orders.
The emperor has addressed to the
people a long explanation of the new
policy, declaring that in many respects
western civilization is superior to the
existing order in his dominion, and an
nouncing his intention to adopt Its
good features and discard the bad ones.
The most radical edict establishes a
postal service throughout the empire.
In it the emperor asks the people to
cooperate with him in making the
newly established system success, as
surfing them that they will thus aid
in strengthening the resources Of the
empire.
A fresh edict followed, extending
practically to everybody the right to
materialize the throne, privilege
heretofore restricted to certain classes.
The latest edict commands that
monthly accounts be rendered to the
government of the receipts and ex-
penditures everywhere, and that these
accounts be published.

A British naval officer who has just

INCREASE or EDUCATION.
Encouraging Figures From the
Commissioner Of Education.
IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

The Increased Attendance Shows the
Desire of Americans That Their Chill
dren Sh0sl Become Lenrncd-The In
crease In Colleges and Universities.
Washington, Sept 2O-The annual
statement Of the commissioner Of edu-
cation has been submitted to Secretary
Bliss The report shows satisfactory
reports for the year ending June 80,
1898.
"One cause OF congratulation on the
part of those who hold the doctrine
that popular education is the safeguard
of our American institutions is, says the
report, 1.-The continued prosperity OF the
elementary schools. The increase dur
ing the year 1861 amounted to 257,-
500 pupils over tha previous year The
total enrolled in elementary schools
amounted to 15.459,426 pupils. Adding
to it those in colleges. universities, high
schools and academies, the total num-
Der reached 16.255. 09S
The total amount of schooling re-
ceived per Individual on an average for
the whole United States at the rate OF
school attendance for 1897, is very near
ly five years of 200 days each, and
reaches quite seven years in a few OF
the states that are the most lavish in
their expenditures for education. a
little more than one-ffth of the entire
population attended school at some
time during the year.
A still greater occasion for congratu-
lation, 1t is stated, is the increase Of
students In colleges and universities.
The increase has gone on steadily for
% years, and in 1872 only $50 persons
in the million were enrolled in these
institutions In 1897 the number had
risen to 1,216 in the million. During the
same period there has been an impor-
tant change in regard To conditions of
admission to college. The standard
has been raised to such an extent as to
require an average Of a years work
more in preparation for the freshmen
class.
Considering the elevated standard. 1t
is safe to estimate the number in
higher education, measured by the
standard of 1872, was three times as
large in 1895 as % years before. This
increase was most remarkable in those
students taking what was called post
J graduate studies and engaged in the
work of original investigation. The
professional students in the schools of
law, medicine and theology increased
during the same period. During the
same period scientific and technical
schools multiplied.
In view of the continually increasing
demands for higher education, says the
statement, the increase of professional
education. and especially the rapid
growth of that class of students that
make special expert studies in post
graduate work, is in the highest degree
reassuring.
