SCHOOL APPROPRIATION CUT.

Governor stone Says These Appropri-
ations Have Embarrassed the state.
Harrisburg, May Is. - Governor
Stone has made public his action on
the general appropriation pill. which
provides for the ordinary expenses of
the various branches of the state gov
ernment, the interest on the public
debt and for the support of the pub
lie schools for the two fiscal years be-
ginning June l, 1899. He has made
a cut Of $1000,00O in the school ap-
preparation and reduced several other
items whereby he saves in the aggre-
gate $1,500,000. which will be applied
to reducing the floating debt of the
commonwealth.
The governor has filed in the office
OF the secretary of the commonwealth
a statement giving his reasons for dis
approving certain items in the bill and
approving parts of certain other items.
He recites the history of the steady
increase that has been made in the
school appropriation since the adoption
or the constitution of 1874, which re-
quires that not less than 81 900 900 shall
be appropriated annually for the sup
port of the common schools. He shows
that in 1898, when the fund was in
creased from s5,OOO,OOO to $500 900.
the additional 100000 was intended
to be used to enforce the free text
book law
The net annual revenues OF the COM
monwealth are about $11 900 600, Of
which there is paid out Of the state
treasury annually more than $4,000, 900
in support of the cause of education
Governor Stone says the magnificent
aDnropriation TO the Dublie SCHOOLS has
financially embarrassed the state, ana
that il the revenues would Justify 1t he
would cheerfully allow the appropria-
ton to remain at s11, 900, 900. He claims
1t is absolutely necessary to reduce
the appropriation, and he is confident
the people will justify him in making
reduction of 100000 annually In
order that the appropriations made by
prior legislatures may be paid.

Unusual Engineering Problem in Connec-
ton With Hennepin Canal.
CHICAGO, July 27.-A Times Herald
special from Kewanee, Ills, says: The
bottom of the Hennepin canal in Henry
and Bureau counties has fallen out and
the Cincinna ii firm which has the con-
tract for construction on this section is
puzzled and in dismay at the unex.
pected happening. Near Sheffield, in
Bureau county, several miles beyond
the junction with the Sterling feeder of
the canal, the big steam shovels were
at work on a low stretch of ground
where the water had been rather
troublesome. Below the soft super
strata of earth was bed of hard pan,
and when this was scooped through the
water suddenly vanished. Later it was
found that the ground for 100 feet
around where the big shovel stood had
sunk 10 feet.
Subsequent borings brought to light
the fact that no solid bottom existed
for a depth of AZ feet below the level of
the hard pan. Quick sand in the soil is
thought to be the reason for the sinking
of the ground and the same trouble has
often been experienced in digging wells.
lnasmuch as the canal has to be cut
according to the accepted surveys
through about four miles Of the ground
apparently Of the same consistency, the
case presents some engineering features
that are quite out of the ordinary and
it is puzzling the contractors to know
how to accomplish the feat.

BAD TREATMENT ALLEGED.

No Preparations Made to Care for Sick

MINNEAPOLIS, July PA special to
The Journal from San Francisco says:
When the hospital ship Morgan CITY,
just arrived from Manila, unloaded 500
sick and wounded soldiers, no welcome
awaited the veterans. Surrounded by
the usual crowd of dock loafers, the
men, including is Minnesotans, limped,
slid or fell from the gangway. The
Journal correspondent helped several
helpless soldiers down the plank. The
ships hospital r"rps was totally made
quate. Absolutely no preparation was
made by General Shafter to unload and
transport the sick to the Preside.
The San Francisco Examiner, COM
menting on the helpless condition of
the men, says:
1.-THE landing of the men was a sight
never to be forgotten. There was not a
jaunty step in the entire crowd; not a
face which bore evidence of health.
There were in that band representatives
of 80 organizations, men from nearly
every regiment that left here for the
Philippines during the last year. The
contrast between their condition on de-
parture and on arrival was heartrend:

PARIS, July 27.-The Republique

Washington dispatches announce the

True the treaty has not yet been rat

without discussion. When the cham
Der reassembles the government will
find itself face to face with an opposi-
ton formidably equipped with argu-
ments and which will theoretically Law

vention which so cruelty betrays French
