Ex-Mayor Matthews spoke on the policy

part: THE question Is not whether We
shall let the Philippines govern themselves,
but whether we shall allow small por-

of the United States, which no amount of

honorably to avoid, Is to re-establish peace

framed for the sole purpose of promoting
of their inhabitants. Precedents for the adj
ministration of some Of the islands may be
found In the history of the United States

of others may be offered by the experience
of other countries In similar undertakings.

EDUCATION In AMERICA.
Mr. Towers Report to the British
Foreign Office.

WASHINGTON, July 4.-The British
charge d'affairs, Mr.. Tower, has recently
made report to the Foreign Office on the
system of commercial education and busi-
ness colleges in the United States The re-
port has attracted wide attention in Eng
land, as this system is more particularly
an American product, although the business
sentiment abroad is encouraging the adop-
ton of similar methods of practical business
training. Through the cooperation of the
State Department a very full review of the
American system prepared by the
United States commissioner Of education,
and is embodied In the report. The various
British oonsuls throughout the country also
contribute reports on the business colleges
in their several localities and the extent to
which States and cities are aiding in busi-
ness education.
The commissioner of education says in his
statement that there has been steady de-
cline in the number of private business
schools, which he attributes partly to the
business depression of the past few years
and partly to the fact that so many public
high schools. colleges and academies have
established commercial courses, in many re-
spects superior to those offered by a ma
jority of the private business colleges He
speaks of the efforts of leading business
men in this country to afford opportunities
for commercial education higher and broad
er than that given even by the best of the
se-called business colleges and of the success
in this line attained by the Universities of
California and Chicago and by a number
of other public institutions There are now
liz universities and colleges having COM
mercial courses. Most of the States have
commercial branch in their State univer-
stiles and also in their agricultural colleges
The system also has been extended to high
schools, academies and, in some cases, to
grammar schools. The consuls furnish a
number of statements from States and city
school authorities on the success attending
these business schools and courses.
The Navy Department received a dispatch
to-day from Commander Goodrich, of the
Newark, at Valparaiso. saying that the
Abarenda sailed from there last night for
Samoa. She carries a steel wharf and sheds
in sections to build a coaling station at
Page Page. This is the first news received
by the department from the Newark since
she narrowly escaped being blown into the
Antarctic tegions when running out of coal
near the Straits of Magellan. Her destina-
ton is not made known by the Navy De-
partment, but ii Is understood that the plan
to send her TO Apia has been abandoned.
Mrs. McKinley's condition continues ia

San Francisco Celebrates in an EIab-
crate Manner.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.-San Fran
cisco's celebration of the national anniver-
sary to-day was the most elaborate and
successful in many years. Rarely has there
been such a picturesque procession in this
city. Twelve thousand men were in line.
of which $500 were United States troops,
comprising the regiments in garrison at the
Presidio, and also the regiments and de-
tachments en- route to Manila. The army
division was commanded by Colonel Free
man, U. s. A, post commander of the
Preside reservation. In line, too, were vet
Grams of the civil and Mexican wars and
Cuban campaign, as well as all the con-
valescent soldiers from the general hospital
at the Preside recently returned from the
Philippines. This was feature OF the pro-
cession, and especially suggested and car
ried out by Mayor Phelan. The GONZALES
cents rode in carriages provided by the
mayor. Most of these soldiers looked pale
and wan, many were bandaged, and here
and there a, crutch peeped out Of car
riage.
The most garish feature Of the procession
was the Chinese division. comprising 80
men in gaily colcred costumes, with six
Oriental bands and light Monaghan floats.
The parade. which moved with military
promptness and precision, occupied more
than an hour and half in passing a given
point. The long line was reviewed on Van
ness avenue by Major General Shafter.
In the afternoon literary exercises were
held in the Metropolitan Temple, and to-
