RESERVATIONS he has made to Lord Sails
bury respecting the modus vivendi un-
der his instructions of yesterday. AL
though it is believed almost hopeless to
expect successful outcome OF direct
negotiations with London, 1t is not re-
garded here as inevitable that a hostile
clash will follow the failure to secure
a modus vivendi Confidence is ex-
pressed in the suffiCiency of arrange
ments, backed by the sound common
sense OF the officials of the United
states and Canada now in the disputed
territory in Alaska to prevent a col
lision.
As matter of fact. the United States
and Great Britain have been actually
working under a tactly understood
modus vivendi. The existence of an un-
derstanding on this point is manifested
in the ready acquiescence by the United
states government in the suggestion by
the British foreign office that 1t might
tend to prevent trouble if the war de-
partment abandoned its plan of sending
a garrison of troops TO Pyramid har-
Dor. On its part, the British showed
its disposition to maintain the status
quo by quietly but firmly restraining
Canadian customs officers and mounted
police who were greatly harassing
American miners passing over the
trails. If this spirit continues on both
sides there is little reason for the fail
ure of London negotiations to result in
anything more serious than another
long and disagreeable postponement of
final settlement.

Los Angeles, Cal, July S.--Although
the openingof the annual convention Of
the National Educational association is
still three days away, the number of
delegates who have already arrived in
the city from all parts of the United
States IS enough to support the state
ment that the convention will be well
attended. Two thousand or more dele

Monday and Tuesday.
The National Council of Education,
which is composed of 80 of the foremost
educators of the country, held it's first
meeting Of a three days session this
afternoon. The meeting was devoted to
listening to paper read by Mrs. Lucia
A. Stickney of the high school of Gin
clnnatL The paper began with a sketch
OF III families, numbering from four to
10, living in two rooms of tenement
houses. u
She said: "These families have little
practical knowledge of buying or cook
ing wholesome food. The one absorb
ing thought is how to get living, and
the aim in rearing children is to get
them to work, so that they can pay
pack what has been done for them.
Ihe children are kept in school by the
truant officer until they are IA, or large
enough to be, then graduated into a
FACTORY. They are without any domes-
tic education and seldom become house
servants. These people have abundant
church privileges and often are church
goers. The social opportunity is the all
night ball, which many girls attend
twice a week. With so large a number
of tenement jewellers the settlement

mestic training and greater intimacy
between school and home, that i'm

At o'clock tonight the second meet
ing of the council was held. At this
meeting the time was devoted to pa
per by Hon. w. T. Harris, United
States commissioner of education, on
"The Future of the Normal School,"

of his paper to the new educational
methods which the study of art OF
educating is bringing out.

Congressman Richard Bartholdt of
Missouri has arrived here. The papers

Inmates made by competent cotton buy

$4,000 600. Thousands of mules have been
drowned, all of the domestic animals
