THE PEACE COMMISSION
SECRETARY DAY SAID TO HAVE
BEEN OFFERED CHAIRMANsHIP.
Report that Editor Smith May Take
the Postmaster GeneraIship.
nenia1 "a the 1ndinnanolis Journal.

SpeciaI to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Sit is reported
in official circles tonight that Secretary
of State Day has been offered the chairman
ship Of the peace commission and that he is
seriously considering the offer. 1t is not
known whether he will resign as secretary
if he accepts the peace commissiOnership,
but if he should leave the secretaryship 1t is
said Postmaster General Smith will succeed
him as head of the State Department. In
case the latter becomes secretary of state,
it is likely that First Assistant Postmaster
General Perry S. Heath will succeed Mr..
Smith as head of the Postoffice Department.
1t is a wel-known fact that Mr.. Day ac-
cepted the Office of first assistant secretary
of state and also the secretaryship,
with reluctance, and it will occasion no sur
prise among his friends if he should resign
his present position. Mr. Day was orig
inally selected by the President to go to
Cuba and investigate affairs on the island
early in the Mckinley administration but
the President finally decided to send Viii
liam j. Calhoun in his stead.
Secretary Day gave up a large law prac-
tice to enter the Cabinet, and, being O. COM
paratively poor man, he cannot afford to
remain in Washington at the salary Of S, 900
per year paid Cabinet officers The salary
of peace commissioner would be three times
that of secretary of state, and if he accepts
that place it will be largely because of the
emoluments of the Office. No official utter
ance as to the secretary's purpose is now
obtainable, and Secretary Day himself de-
clines to make any statement on the sub

WASHINGTON, Aug S.-The reply of the
Spanish government to the peace conditions

The reply came in sections. the dispatch

later another dispatch brought a second

trance or the chesapeake.
The greatest electric searchlight in
the world, now being erected at Fort
ress Monroe to guard the entrance to
the Chesapeake, has a beam of light
nine feet in diameter The glass lens
is so binding that it cannot be looked
on at short range, and it even hurts the
eyes when they are closed.
1t will illuminate an object 100 miles
off, and can be seen on the clouds at
even a greater distance.
The light is gathered into a nine
foot beam, which has an estimated in
tensity of 10000 900 candles. The light
revolves six times a minute. 1t was
manufactured in France, but American
generating apparatus has been substi-
| tuted for that built abroad. and the
dynamos, engine and boilers are to be
| duplicated in case of accident. The
beam of light from the lamp will iIlu-
inmate a newspaper at a distance of
/ 100 miles. It will turn day into night
around Hampton Roads. It's location
at Hampton Roads is especially appro-
pirate, as vessels passing the Chesa-
peake for Baltimore or Washington
cannot be seen from Hampton Roads
during the night or hazy weather, and
they are barely visible in daytime
The distance from the fortress to sea
is Is miles. Vessels bound up the
chesapeake do not pass within miles
of the fort and this is probably the rea-
son why the channel leading up the
Patapsco to Baltimore is to be mined
with orpedoes.-BaltimOre American

The business men of St. Paul have
determined that the week of the state

as this City is concerned. The inter-
est they have shown in arranging for
realistic reproduction Of the sbattles
Of Cuba will be appreciated by the
thousands Of visitors to the fair. No
such combination of pyrotechnics. NOV
ing figures and mimic marine display
has ever before been presented outside
the cities of New York and Chicago.
1t is certain that the scenes to be wit
messed nightly in this city during the
fair week will never be forgotten.
When it is stated that by actual
count between 10000 and 10000 persons
have Travelled from New York to Man

CHINA TRADE INCREASING
A Growth of Ten Million Dollars i'm
Ten Years.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Aug. 22-The
success of the United States in the in
Vasion Of the markets of China is illus
trated by figures just prepared by the
bureau of statistics, showing that our
exports to that market of late have
increased much more rapidly than
those OF other countries, and that the
heavy falling off in imports Of certain
lines of goods into China in the last
year has not been 50 seriously felt by
the United States as by other nations
with which We come in competition.
Th1s is especially true of cotton piece
goods. The report on the trade Of
China for 1897, published by the inspec-
tor general Of Chinese customs, says:
The trade in cotton piece goods
shows, as was expected, a falling off
from the figures Of 1896. American
goods however, continue to increase
Ill favor, these being almost an ex-
ceptlon to the general decline The
favor which the American goods find
in the Chinese market is due to their
cheapness."
The steady gain which the United
States is making in it's effort to obtain
a share Of the market which China af-
fords Is shown by the following COM
peTlson of our imports into China and

DEMANDS ON RED CROSS.
An Increase Since the Suspension of
Active HOst1lities.

NEW YORK, Aug 22.-The demands
upon the Red Cross society and its
auXiliaries have been increased rather
than diminished since the negotiations
for peace. Some idea can be gained
of the work done by the Red Cross
society and the auxiliares during the
past week from the announcement
made today by some of the members
of the executive committee that over
$4,000 a day is now being expended
by the society. Groceries and delica-
cies in enormous quantities have been
purchased to supply the demands from
the different camps and hospitals, and
the supplies sent in by auxiliaries rep
resent thousands of dollars.
During the past week the Red Cross
equipment of the hospital ship Missou-
ri has been completed. The laundry,
ice, car handling and sterilizing plants
have been put in place on the vessel,
together with set of electric fans
and a steam launch. The following
supplies have also been sent to the
vessel as part of her equipment: Three
hundred cots, 500 pajamas, 500 surgical
night shirts, 500 bath towels, 1000
handkerchiefs, 500 suits of underwear,
400 pairs of slippers. 1000 pairs Of
socks, LOCO abdominal bands, tobacco,
pipes and brushes. The Missouri will
also be supplied with fifteen male
nurses, all furnished by the Red Cross.

Manual Training for Children.

Sadie American, the successful Chicago
Kindergarten. enthusiastically recommends
manual training when discussing "Child-
training by the Froebel System" in the Sep
TENDER Woman's Home Companion.
Manual training sharpens the senses and
makes eyes that see and ears that hear and
a touch that is fine and true. 1t gives
proper balance of values, not only to the
physical and intellectual activities of the in
d1v1dual. but to the Intercourse of pupil with
pupil for frequently the seeming dullard
turns out to be the skillful worker and vice
versa, and mutual respect and harmony re-
suit. So the varying yet equal worth of men
Is taught without sign or sound. Pupils, too
are encouraged to mutually aid each other in
construction and in handling and Of
tools; and the valuable quantity of social
helpfulness grows like the flower from the
swelling bud. 1t is method of positive ere
at1Ve activity as against passive receptivity
or destructive reStleSSneSS; in short il is
education, not instruction. 1t forms the mind
instead OF furnishing it. 1t creates right hab-
its, and SO molds character. 1t makes care
full, thinking, true men. We make it our
constant aim to let the acquisition of knowl-
edge, the apprehension Of truth, grow out of
the experience OF the children themselves >
says Prof. Bamberger. 1t is the constructive
method, as against that of examining with
rules and definitions the children do not I'M
derstand, and facts they do not assimilate
First comes actual acquaintance and repeated
experiment, out of which the definition, rule
or truth naturally grows, and thus becomes
the lasting possession of the child"
