Washington, D. c., April O.
The developments of the past week
have been exceedingly gratifying
TO the President with relation to
the conditions existing in the Phil
ipines and Cuba. Reports receiv-
ed from the PHILIPPINES indicate
that the insurgents under Aguin-
aldo are discouraged and that a
large majority Of his army is now
deserting his ranks. 1t is believed
that the war is practically at an
END and that from now OH the fight
ing will be sporadic in its nature
and the attention of the United
States troops will be directed en-
tirely toward insurgent bands of
25 or 80 men who will continue a
bush whacking warfare until finally
crushed by the United States
troops.
The condition in Cuba indicates
clearly that the outcome will be
annexation to the United States;
that the Cubans cannot hope to
establish an independent govern
ment for themselves, and that the
extention of the United States SOW
erignty over the island is only a
question Of time. The three mil
lion dollars for the payment of the
Cuban army will be disbursed as
rapidly as possible and the men
will be sent home to engage once
more in peaceful pursuits.

innocence. He says it is conspiracy

OTHE experiment of making an en-
tire high school course elective, first
tried, and successfully, in Denver. is
being repeated this year in the high
school at Roxbury, Mass. Pupils are
at liberty, says the New York Evening
Post, to pursue ss many or as few
studies as they please. A diploma
may be obtained, however, by less
work than was formerly required, A
definite amount of work chosen from
the various department. will fulfill the
requirements for graduation, whether
it includes all those studies which have
been previously prescribed or not.
and whether it takes two. four, or five
years for its completion. The
ultimate object Is to provide such
course of study for each pupil
IS is best suited to his in
dividusl needs, to give him a
certificate for each point completed,
and to grant him diploma whenever
he has completed the required quanti-
ty of work. Some will need more time
than is at present required, while
many, who have sufficient health and
ambition, will be able to utilize their
time to better advantage than the old
system permitted. The pupil has the
advantage, also. of studying what
pleases him, and this is expected to
develop greater interest and more
progress. To graduate from the
Roxbury school under the new plan.
one years work at least is to be re-
quired in each of the following sub
jects: English, history, foreign
language, science, mathematics; one
recitation period per week for one
year to count, say, as one point; any
thing less than that as one-half q
point; total of sixty points to be re-
quired for diploma.

STEAD ON RHODES.

Tide reported capture of Cecil Rhodes
by the Beers will make W. L. Stead:
character sketch of the African mag
net in the November number of the
Review of Reviews very timely read
ing. The figure of Mr.. Rhodes is the
one which looms up in South Africa
above all others, not even excepting
Dom Paul Kruger himself, and, as Mr..
Stead knows him intimately, he should
be able to portray him as he is.
It is Stead's opinion that Rhodes Is
not SO much fnancier and politician
as an altruist philosopher. A parallel
issdrawn between Rhodes and General
Gordon, a..man whose 'pure and lofty
spirit WAS never stained by even the
calumny of those sordid lsouls who de-
light to impute to others the folly and
baseness of their own nature" General
Gordon, says the Minneapolis Times
In commenting on the article, was
man passionate for humanity, very
knight Grant of philanthropy, full OF
religious mysticism and an abiding
sense of the reality and the power and
death, he stands before the world a
man of the stuff of which saints and
martyrs are made-the most conspicu-
Gus and splendid type OF the hero
which Britain in these latter days has |
given to the world.''
Befors.going to his post of duty-and |
as the result proved, of deash-at
-
Cecil Rhodes to accompany him. This
is supposed TO prove that General Cor
don, who was a shrewd Judge of men,
knew Rhodes to be man after his own
heart.
According to Stead, Rhodes, like
aordon, is a man singularly "selfess."
his life has been dedicated to the pur-
suit of a lofty ideal over which he has
brooded long years in the solitude of
his first diamond mines. All his life
be has pondered the problems of en-
pire. He Is cast in heroic mold.
Some men think in parishes, others in
nations, but. Rhodes thinks in CONT
aents.
One important point of difference be-
tween General Gordon and Cecil
Rhodes is: noted. The general pro-
essed firm faith in the orthodox re-
vealed religion; Rhodes, on the other
hand, is an sgnostic. He has made a
Iober calculation, just as he might do
3 in the matter of buying or selling
hsres il mining company, and has
.rrived at the result that there is
,ut an even chanceswhether there be
my God at all. So he has Sc per
.ent faith in the existence OF God, but
Ioes not believe in revealed religion.
since he could do no better he has as
umed that there is God, and on this i
he has marked out his own 4
ath of duty. Profound study con- I
inced BIN that God, if there b

BETTING is a risky business. The

JUST why railroad companies con-
tinue to pay for horses and mules kill
ed by trains is one of the mysteries
that can only be revealed by the

fence the tracks for miles with the
money paid for one dead mule and
thus stop forever what seems to be q
costly leak. But they appear to prefer
to pay for the mules.
