What the course OF study Is. the high
standing Of its instructors, the reputa-
tion Of Its graduates is too well known
here to require repetition. Several
features in the course indicate its
practical side. The course of training
In Parliamentary usages and laws Is
especially valuable, in these days of
debate and conventions.
There should I've another department
OF study added to the course, to be
known as the Course in Observation"
that is, the quick and intelligent use
of the eye. Charles Dickens could OBJ
serve and retain distinctly in his mind,
more objects during an hours walk
along the streets of city than the vast
majority Of men see and retain In a
week, or a month, or a year, IL they
cover the very same ground. More
than that, he could see not only the
numerous physical objects, but also
many OF their relations to each other.
He was like the Cinnamon In the gold
diggings, who get rich out of them
after the intelligent white man is
through with them.
The shallOwness and incOmpleteness
OF the ordinary education In this re-
spect might well be illustrated by
placing one of the well educated"
people on the witness stand and de-
handing what he or she had seen dur
ing the day, and following the inquiry
with comparison OF what existed and
might have been seen. The exhibition
would be shamefully humillating, as
any one OF us will say who has candid
iy tested himself on the point.
One who studies physical science in
its relation to financial profit knows
the important bearing the keen sense
OF observation has on the fortunes of
men. For instance, a young man with
a slight knowledge OF mineralogy and
quick eye was crossing the dry bed of
stream in Florida. not many years
ago, and noticed stone the size of a
base ball, and its peculiar appearance.

young men were as well trained In the
hapit OF observation in physical re-
search as women are in the study ~

How Rival Filipino Leaders Try to Pdcify Soldiers Who
 Grow Restless.
Insurgents Retire From Covite and Poco. Which Completes tbe Conquest of
 the ADericoD Troops
BY SOL N. SHERIDAN.
 James Gordo Benn

MANILA, Oct. 19.-Insurgent General Pic Pillar has agreed to evacuate Pico, the last suburb of Manila held by the Filipinos, on October 25. This com pletes the American conquest of the city. The last rebel was driven from Cavite to-day. The Americans now hold Cavite and Manila and the rest of the island of Luzon is in the hands of insurrectionist factions. How little power Aguinaldo possesses is shown by his refusal to grant passes to visit the interior on the ground that the northern provinces are held by General Maka- boulas who is in revolt against the Malolos government.
 General Aguinaldo has shown good faith in securing Pic Pilar's consent to evacuate Pico, although the rumor IS consistently circulated that the rebel leaders have promised their soldiers who are growing restless, that an at- tack will be made on Manila before the end of the present month. As mat ter of fact Pic Pillar, who is chief or the anti-American party, has been reduced and is practically under arrest py Aguinaldo.

AGUINALDO'S INFLUENCE
 NOW ON THE WAIVE.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: Major General Otis cabled the War Department to-day review of the situation in the Philippines. showing that Aguinaldo's influence is on the wane. General Otis stated that Aguinaldo's forces are being rapidly depleted. Many of the deserters are joining the Spanish party, apparently because of their belief in the possibility that the islands may be returned to Spain.
 The situation is peaceful. and there is little danger of trouble between the natives and Americans. and General Otis expressed confidence in his ability to fully cope with any developments.
 Secretary Alger late this afternoon sent copy of the dispatch to the State Department, and 1t is expected that it will be cabled to the American Com missioners in Paris. Adjutant General Simpkins, who has just returned to Washington, brought with him from Manila all of the correspondence which has passed between Rear Admiral Dewey and Major General Merritt and Aguinaldo. This correspondence shows conclusively that the American officers entered into no alliance implied or o1- rect with Aguinaldo, and that the hands of this Government are tied in no way as the result of the co-opera- tion of the insurgents. Some of the more important passages Of the corre- spondence have been cabled to Paris. and complete copies were forwarded to the commissioners by mail to-day.

WORKING TO SECURE
 CHURCH UNITY
Deputies and Bishops of the Episco- pal Convention Adopt Impor-
 tant Amendments

WASHINGTON. Oct. 19.-When consid- eration of the constitution was resumed by the House of Deputies of the Episco- pal convention, article VI, relating to the establishment of missionary districts. and article XI, relating to a bishops exercise of his offices outside of his diocese were agreed to with amendments adopted by the Bishops.
 The morning session of the House of Bishops was spent in bringing about the adoption of what is known as the Hunt ington amendment looking toward church unity. The amendment authorizes bish- ops to take under their spiritual guidance congregations which accept the essential tenets of the church, although they do not strictly observe the church ritual. The amendment was adopted with minor changes as part of the canons instead of the constitution. The canons also were amended in requiring one years time be- fore ordination instead of six months. The revision of the constitution pro- gressed by the adoption of the title and articles x and XI, also articles VII and XII, as amended by the deputies.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
 MADE MOST UNEASY
Their Tactics in Cinching Shippers May Cause a Heavy Loss in
 Their Business.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 19.-Oficers of the va rious express companies doing business fin St Louis are much worried over a pamphlet which has just been issued by the National Association of Traffic Com rnissioners in regard to the payment of the war stamp tax on express receipts and containing suggestions for the exten- sion of the parcel post in the United States.
 The work is designed to bring about a general movement all over the country 10 have the interstate commerce law changed so as to. place express companies under the Jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission and to regulate express companies in other ways.
 What the express companies object to most is a suggestion to improve and ex- tend the parcel post system in the United States The operation of the parcel post system as proposed would deprive the ex- press companies of nearly half of their revenue. as they could not compete with the postal rates, and they will make de- feru5ined fight to prevent the loss of such a large part of their business.

ADMIRAL DEWEY NOT
 COMING ON LEAVE

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-A Washington special to the Herald says: Secretary Long denied to-day the report that Rear Admiral Dewey will come to the United States on leave of absence. It is expected that Rear Admiral Schley will return from Porto Rico on a mer- chant steamer, as the Newark is want ed at St. Thomas to make an investiga- ton of the coaling question existing there, Admiral Schleys name has been connected with the succession to Rear Admiral Bunce as commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard, but it is not at all certain that he will have this as- signment. Rear Admiral Howell is his senior, and as the department generally considers seniority in making selec- tions for important positions it Is re- garded as likely that Rear Admiral Schley will be ordered to duty as presi- dent of the examining and retiring boards while Rear Admiral Howell will go to New York or some other impor- tant navy-yard.
