for Mccoy after 20 rounds. 1nree thous-

the fight was held. There was little bet
ting on the result and the showing made
by Rubin was a surprise. He stood lot
of punishment and was always ready to
come back for more. He was apparently
strong at the finish. Mccoy says he will
now meet Goddard and then Choynski.
There was great difference in the weight
of the men Mccoy, according to his state
ment, weighing l57 pounds, and Rubin

Hawarden England, May l9.-MrGlad-
SO years
Gladstone had been unconscious prac-
tically all day though at times he seemed
to recognize for moment some of the
watchers about him. Certainly he did
recognize his wife who sat beside him all
day except when the physician prevailed
upon her to rest. She tenderly clasped
her husbands hand as she watched him.
Apparently he slept good deal; occa-
sionally he uttered few words in an in
coherent dremy way-words which those
who were watching were unable to catch.
Their only consolation was that he was
not suffering pain. No narcotics were ad-
ministered.
Throughout the whole kingdom every
public gathering added its words of grief

|GUAG LABOR IS THEIR CRY MONAMOCk SAILS AWAY
COLONEL PARKER DISCUSSES THE
MODES OF EXPRESSION.
Third Day of the Summer School
Miss Allen Continues Her Kinder
garten-Mothers' Meeting Today.

This morning at the Summer School
Miss Allen continued her demonstra-
tion of kindergarten work and at its
conclusion Colonel Parker began his
address by saying that the reason
why we fail to arouse the ready en-
thusiasm and to get the right results
is that we make language an end in
itself Therefore we fail to teach
language. The child must first feel
the need of language. You drill him
in the rudiments of language for
which he has no use, and he becomes
passive and indolent. But he comes
interested only in that which has
some use. Now child when he has
entered school has already learned
very much. indeed has the elements of
all the sciences, and teacher who
sees this, believes this, is born again,
and has entered into a new life. \
child comes on earth to be recogniz-
ed as personality, and he wants to
feel that he is of some use, that he is
somebody, and the teacher on his
part should recognize him as being
worth much.
Further referring to the lessons of
the school the lecturer said that on
ly that which makes home better is
worth putting into the school. That
should be the whole effort of the
school, and that lesson which does not
help the spiritual life of the child is
of no use.
In answer to the question, how can
you arouse interest in the child, he
wanted to speak of modes of express
sion, that is the manifestation of
thought on the part of the child, and
of the coordination of these modes
of expression. At the foundation of
all expression lies gesture-a univer-
sal language; next we have voice. an
outgrowth of gesture. Thence arises
speech, and close to this music. vocal
music Another mode of expression
is the rhythmic movement of the
body, called dancing. Next he men,
toned making with hand, which he
declared is the corner stone left out
hitherto in education Next model
ing-tbe development of form through
touch. ,Coloring-from the very first
he would have the children paint.
Painting is one of the very first of
arts and is a great means of educa-
tion. Then comes the analysis of
form, drawing. Lastly. writing.
Each of these is great mode of eN-
preston, by which the child reveals

CLERKS ADDED TO THE GENERAL
POSTOFFICE.
Postmaster Oat Talks of Changes and
Improvements Which Can Now be
Carried Out-Quick Distribution.

The postoffice will be in full rum
ming order today. Four new clerks
have been added to the staff. The
new appointees are not all green at
the business. w. c. Kenake, brother
of Louis T. Kenake, the general de-
livery clerk, has been employed occa-
sionally as assistant. A. j. Smithies
has been transferred from the Postal
Savings Bank to the Delivery Depart
ment, but as it was the custom IN
the past to draw upon the employ IS
on the upper floor, when the foreign
mail came in, Mr.. Smithies has had
considerable experience in the deliv-
cry work. The new men are Messrs.
Burgess and w. j. Smith, the latter
recently connected with the abstract
office.
These men will be put in entire
charge of the box sections and will
be held responsible for any mistakes
that may occur in the distribution.
The force now on the lower floor
numbers twelve persons. When the
foreign mail is distributed the full
force can be put on and distribution
will be very speedy. As soon as the
letter distribution is over the four
box section men will attend to the
distribution of newspapers and the
rest of the force can be used for pre-
pairing the outgoing mail. should
there be one, as there frequently
| is
Postmaster General Oat is very san
guine as to the improvements that
have been made in the department. He
says that during the past few months
the office has been very much ham
pered, but that now he is sure that he
will be able to give the public salts
faction. The change from the old
boxes to the new created an i'm
mence amount of labor, and had he
not obtained one of Graves Indexes,
the office would have become quite
| tangled up, and the delivery of the
mails have been very slow. This in
dex permits of an infnity of subdivi-
sions, running under the letter A for
instance, Aa, Alb, Ac, Ad, etc. As
soon as a distributor hesitated, he
called out the name, and the person
| in charge of the index at once turn
ed to the name and called out the
number of the new box. OF course in
! time the distributors will carry the
numbers of the boxes in their heads
but it takes much practice to do so
There have been few complaints about
mistakes and Mr.. Oat thinks that the
public has been very lenient, under
standing the difficulties the depart
ment has been laboring under.
The unsightlv old boxes still re-
main outside the postoffice, though {
request was made to have them re
moved on July 2nd. Perhaps in tim,
whoever has the work in charge viii
get move on. Now things are Sc
well arranged it is a pity they are lef
to mar the effect

PLANTER and MINISTER.
LARGE SUGAR INTERESTS HOLD
CONFERENCE.
Notable representatives Meet the
Cabinet Today-Discussion Deferred
Till Future Date.

The representatives of the planting
interest met the Cabinet this morn
ing at IL, continuing the discussion of
yesterday. The object of the meeting
was to learn the minimum wants of
the planters. This is at the present
moment hard to obtain. In another
portion of the news columns will be
found statement of what is needed
for the new work undertaken and it
is quite possible that more than doub-
lie that is required for other planta-
tions.
The sugar interests represented at
today's meeting were Castle q Cooke,
by Messrs. Tenney and Gilman; Brew
er g. Co., by George Robertson; Hack
field & Co., by John Hackfeld; Davies
& Co., by f. NJ. Swanzy; Schaefer q
Co., by f. A. Schafer; Irwin & Co.,
by Walter NJ. Giffard; Grinbaum &
Co., by C. Bolte and Wainae and 9TH
er interests by j. NJ. Dowsett.
Of the Cabinet Ministers all were
present except Minister Cooper who
is now on a vacation, recovering from
the strain of Legislative work which
fell peculiarly hard upon him, as he
had to attend to the duties of two Of
ficers during the session and to fight
hard for appropriations which were
outside of his regular sphere of duty.
Besides the needs of the plantations
the planters have been troubled over
the fact that the japanese representa-
tive here has intmated that all Japa-
nese immigration may be stopped en-
tirely, which of course is serious
matter.
The Ministry have taken the matter
under advisement and desire to wait
until the decision of the United States
in the matter of Hawaii. 1t is argu-
ed that to come to any decision now
would be unwise, and the discussion,
after heightened argument. has gone
over for at least twenty-four hours.

FOR NEW PLANTATIONS AND FOR
NEW ENTERPRISES.
Views of Prominent Man Upon the
Labor on-Government Wish
es to Keep Within Bounds.

Labor is the cry. According to re-
ports from every side labor has never
been so much in demand as it is now.
a call upon a high official this morn
ing elected his views upon the pres
ent situation.
"les," said this gentleman, in reply
prises like Oahu, Kaunakakai and
lIalawa, and the work upon the cof
fee belt that is affecting the labor
market. Both Halawa and Kaunakallai
need each 500 men merely to clear the
land preparatory to planting. Then
again the older plantations are all eX-
tending their areas and it requires
labor to carry out the improvements.
"There is regular exodus of those
whose contracts are completed. Dur
ing the last three months siS people
have returned to Japan. Iney like
to go back, see their families and
friends, spend little money and then
are quite willing to return. They
bring back with them, when they are
allowed some of their friends who see
their success on the Islands. There
is really a stream of travel backward
and forward.
Yesterday the Cabinet met the rep
resentatives of the planters, but came
to no conclusion upon the matter.
The Executive desires to keep the la
Dor imported within close bounds. It
recognizes the necessity of having la
Dor for the new enterprises. but in
view of the present condition of af-
fairs, it would he unwise to obtain
more than is absolutely needed. Un-
der these circumstances we under
stand that the Executive does not feel
itself justified in accepting all applica-
tions that have been made.
ITO show the stringency OF the sit
uation | can tell you that plantations
which have for years worked with
free labor, are unable to get that la
Dor any longer, and have had to make
application for contract laborers.
Such thing has been unknown for
years. The government will meet
the representatives of the planters
again at II o'clock today, and some
decision will probably be come to-"
