General Henry employs the public funds

under American teachers, have been au-
thorized and are being established. In
short a reformation of the whole public
school system is being rapidly accom-
piished.
The call for English books and maps
from the local authorities is so urgent and
SO great that the bureau is embarrassed
in the matter of their distribution al
though it is aided by the Quartermaster S
Department of the Army. Any description
of the Porto Rican educational system that
may be written now will hardly BE- applica-
bic to conditions in that island three
months hence.
In addition to the public agencies for
furthering the interests of education. a
society has been organized known as tie
Society for the Benefit of Children, with
headquarters in San Juan and correspond
ing centers in the principal towns. This
society is non partisan, and is pure phi
lanthropic in its motives, and at its head
are some of the leading natives and Amer
| leans engaged in the insular educational
| work. 1t has received on an average 81 .0V9
| month in endowmShts from Porto Rican
| sources. AS its funds accumulate, they
will be used to provide Fairgrounds for the
children and illustrated lectures upon
| American topics for children and older
| people, and to further in general all intel
lectual and educational projects likely to
result in improving the condition of chill
dren by crystaliizing public sentiment in
| their favor.
| A pedagogical museum and American
library has been established at San Juan
with picture gallery and art school at
tached. The museum will collect and ex-
| hibit specimens of school work from the
| island and from elsewhere, and also con-
| tain collection of school books and school
aids. 1t will support and superintend
evening schools for adults and popular lee
ture courses, after the manner of similar
institutions in Brooklyn and ether Ameri-
can cities.
At present there is no public provision
for the education of the deaf and dumb, OF
for the blind or the defective minded. II
is the intention to meet this need as scor
as the wants of elementary education are
satisfied.

THE INsULAR COMMISSION.
The work of Preparing the Repor,
Soon to Begin.

Major Charles W Watkins. of the In
sular Commission, appointed to investigate
the conditions of the civil government in
the island of Porto Rico, has arrived in
Washington. The remaining two members
of the Commission and a staff of clerks
will arrive in the city Monday.
The work of preparing the report of the
Commission will be begun Immediately.
The active labors of the Commission in
Porto Rico extended over a period of four
weeks and consisted in gathering infor-
nation as to the exact condition of munich
pal affairs generally. Every city and town
in the island was visited. At the present
time the Government is administered under
seyenty-two municipalities.
According TO Major Watkins. the rail-
road from San Juan to Rio Pedros is prac-
tically at a standstill. The freight re-
ceipts amount to no more than s. a day in
Porto Rcan money The passenger traffic
is also very small The French railroad
which runs in the opposite direction. and
which was originally projected to encir-
Gle the island, is also doing no business,
and is deteriorating in value.
The Coast and Geodetic Survey re-
ports that the harbor at Port de Jobos
is avowedly the best harbor naturally to
be found upon the coast of any country in
either hemisphere. The narbor is on the
southern coast of the island. is thoroughly
landlocked. yet easily accessible from the
outside Ii has a natural depth OF twenty
six feet. with bottom composed entirely
of sand and gravel which is uncommonly
clean. Considerable American capital has
already been invested at Port America to
which it is proposed to change the name
of this place system of mountain
tunnels TO carry the waters of the River
de la Plaza to the southern section of the
island have already been contracted for.
This will do much to increase the pro-
ductiveness of the southern portion of the
island which has heretofore been habitua.-
1y drought stricken.
The Insular Commission has been ia
yorably impressed with Porto Rico. and
Major Watkins wakes enthusiastic in his
description of its salubrious climate and
wonderful natural productiveness.

The last testimony which will be taken
by the Industrial Commission during the
present month was heard yesterday, the
witness being J. W. Bidwell, President
OF the Federation of Trades. Atlanta, Ga,

very encouraging from the laboring man S

The condition OF trade in Georgia had
been better during the recent panic than

tatiyes who had preceded him regarding
the necessity for an eight-hour work day,

| inent men in Indian Territory. is in the

Captain Standley stated last night that the
practical abolition CT the Indian tribal
courts and jurisdiction by the last Con-
gress. through agreements forced on the
various tribes, is virtually breaking of all
its treaties with these Indians by the Gov
ernment. The immense influx of the
| whites with the railroads has driven the
Indians farther and farther back to
! the frontier" he said. land more and
/ more restricted them. The Indian courts
and tribal government were not strong
enough to cope with civilization and its
crimes. 1t is. perhaps. best for the In
| dams now that the whites have come and
are fixture that this change has been
made, but it is founded on wrong at the
beginning, and it is q breaking of faith by
the Government. The Indians are slowly
| losing their entity as tribes" Captain
Standley stated that the Indians have been
defended and upheld in their ownership of
all the land in the Territory except the
towns, for which they have been paid. He
said also, that the tribes are growing
wealthier every year by the enhancement
in values of their lands and other property.
With regard to the report from Guthrie
that there has been a great exodus of In
dians from the Territory to Mexico. he
said: THE story is hoax without any
foundation. Guthrie knows no more about
Indian Territory than it does about Buffa-
10, N. Y. Such an exodus is impossi-
bic. The Indians have no money and can
get none Individually. They could not go
without money, and would not leave their
immensely valuable tribal holdings"
