tom Receipts.
General Wood ifurrying to United
States to Present His Side of
the Question.

Washington, Jan. 4 The OBJ
lection of the citizens of Santiago to
the execution of the War Depart
ments's programme requiring the
customs collections at that port and
at all other Cuban ports to be sent
to Havana has brought the War
Department face to face with an
other Of the many problems con-
nected With the administration of
affairs in Cuba that require speedy
settlement The order is felt to be
absolutely necessary, the interests
Of good government requiring that
there should be but one responsible
head to the customs seryicein Cuba.
1t was pointed out at the War
Department to-day that if Santiago,
at one end of the island, and Ha-
vana, near the other, were allowed
to keep their customs receipts such
provinces as Puerto Principe and
Pinar del Rio would be without
funds to make any public improve
ments.
The officials are disposed to al
low each of the military command
ers of the seven departments into
which Cuba is now divided to sub
NIT acquisitions, based upon esti-
mates of cost of such public works
as sanitation, harbor improvements
and road and bridge building, as it
is deemed desirable to undertake.
The Cabinet which General Brooke
is about to call to his assistance in
the administration of the island
probably will examine into these
necessities and propose an allot-
ment of the total customs collec-
tons and internal revenue taxation
is proportion to the needs of the
communities and IN accordance
with principles of justice and good
In all likelihood these
allotments will require the appro-
val of the Secretary of War.

TO REPORT TO-DAY.
Treaty of Peace in the Hands
of Committee.
Question of Liquor Traffic in Alas
ka Occupies Attention of the
Lower House.

Washington, Jan. Ain the alb
sence of Vice President Hobart,
who is slightly indisposed, the Sen
ate was called to order to-day by
Senator Frye of Maine, President
pro tenn,
Immediately after reading of the
journal, Major Pruden, one of the
President $ Secretaries, delivered
to the Senate the treaty of peace
with Spain. Chairman Davis then
moved an executive session, in
which the treaty was referred to
the committee on Foreign Relations.
The Presidents message accom-
paying the treaty was merely d
formal letter of transmittal. A spe-
cial meeting of the Committee on
Foreign Relations has been called
for Friday morning to take up the
treaty.
a few minutes after the executive
session the doors were reopened
and Mr.. Allison made a formal an
nouncement, in open session, of the
death of Senator Morrill,. He spoke
of the daily attendance of the Yer
mont Senator from the day of the
assembling of Congress till the day
when it adjourned for the holidays,
and said that the clearness of the
Senator S mind and the vigor and
activity which he then displayed
had led to the hope that his service
would be spared to the country for
some time longer.
But the inscrutable providence
which guides the destinies OF men
and nations had ordained other
wise. Suitable arrangements, Mr.
Allison continued, had been made
for the Senator 5 funeral, and a
committee from the two houses had
accompanied his body to its last
resting place IN the town where he
was born 80 years ago. At some
other time proper resolutions of re-
spect for his memory and comment
orative of his great services would
be offered in the Senate, but at pre-
sent he (Mr. Allison) would offer
resolutions expressive of the pro-
found sorrow of the Senate, Il reso-
luton that as a further mark of re-
spect the Senate do now adjourn.
The resolutions were agreed to,
and the Senate at 1915 o'clock adj
iourned till tomorrow.

In the Lower House.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Eess than
one-third of the members of the
House were in their seats to-day
when Speaker Reed raped for
order.
To-days session was set apart,
under special order, for the con-
sderation of the bill to define and
punish crimes and to provide a
code of criminal procedure for the
territory of Alaska.
When the section regarding the
sale of liquors reached, amend
ments were proposed according to
announcement. MIR. Tongue of
Oregon, speaking from his observa-
tion in the territory last summer,
said that the liquor traffic was its
principal business, and the most
respectable. The collector of the
district, who had attempted to en-
force the law, had been browbeaten
abused, subject to attempts at bri-
berry and finally indicted, as he
said, far daring to assert that there
was corruption in the importation
of liquors, involving the officers of
the territory. Deputy collectors.
who made no effort to enforce the
law, had passports into the best
society and were treated like gen

speakers opinion, to enforce the
PRESENT law as was proposed by
Mr., Moody, and he said: THE
people of Alaska, Mr.. Speaker,

looms beneath the halls 10 which it

Mrs. Alan I. Warren, OF Denver, who
is in Wheeling. the guest of her hus-
bands parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Isaiah
Warren. contributes the following in
teresting description: of Women In Pol
itics in Colorado for the Intel!igencer:
Multiplying benefits and blessings
have followed the triumph OF equal
suffrage In Colorado. The campaign OF
1898 was Il most notable one In the cor
test for equal rights for women. The
victory was complete. and in its bril-
liant train OF happy results are the sub
stantial trophies OF conquest which
stand as pledge for the final redemp-
ton Of society. Now, after the expert
ence Of five years In the use OF the bal
lot. the women of Colorado have come
TO n realization that the exercise of suff-
rage is but the open way OF opportunity
to their noble aspirations and their
wider sphere of usefulness as equal fac
tors with men in all human affairs
The practical understanding OF the
privileges OF citizenship has stimulated
the women Of Colorado to 4 wonderful
activity along aft lines OF public and
private Improvements. an activity that
gives the most hopeful promise Of fu-
ture good Of the community and fur
Hlshes the most satisfactory refutatloa

Is no longer looked upon with awe-her

an equal with man. Why should not
she be Interested? Why should not she
march hand in hand with man and cast
her ballot? The average woman votes

make his mark" 1t Is q grand step
toward the advancement OF women and

MARKET STREET RUNAWAY
Which Ended less Seriously than
"What Might have Been"

Yesterday afternoon about $3.50
o'clock, team Of horses attached to n
wagon loaded with hay, became I'M
manageable on Market street. The
driver was unable to use his rubber on
the wheels and tried to hold the horses
In. but with little success. In turning
out OF the street car track the wagon
tipped over and nearly upset, but final
~ righted itself. 1t then collided with
Robert W. Kylc's delivery wagon. which
was standing In front of his plumbing
shop. The Kyle wagon was turned
completely over and the horse started
to run down street. but was caught by
a by-stander before reaching Twelfth
street. The only damage done was the
shaking up the Kyle wagon received.
The hay wagon just passed load Of
gunpowder before the team started to
run away. and II these two wagons
had collided, some damage might have
occurred

SCHOOL MELANGE.

A German writer, Arnold Ruckner,
does not speak In very flattering terms
OF the American public schools. Among
other things he says our schools turn
out graduates unframed and uneduca-
ted, with no taste for literature or art.
but with Unsuitable curiosity for news
especially OF the sort that is not 'tit TO
print" He also says the most ap-
parent outcome OF popular education In
America Is the yellow Journal. To learn
by rate Is the American ideal OF learn
ing. adds this brilliant writer. He at
tributes much OF It TO the fact that the
great majority OF our teachers enter the
school room without any professional
training. really without any training at
all for the work. While the writer can
not agree with all this foreign critic
says OF our school. he Is forced to admit
that there Is some truth In Il. and X
would be well for the American teacher
to think we'll over II. While the Amer
lean public schools are the best In the
world In many respects, still there are
some things that might be remeded
and must be remeded before teaching
Ican be profession as 1t Is tn some
other countries OF the world. The en-
ploying OF teachers who have no spe-
cIal training for the work ought not to
be done at all. The rule IS that our
city schools in nearly all parts OF our
country are filed with young girls who
have just gone through the schools and
have not even studied n work on teach
Ing, much less taken n full course In
Pedagogy. The majority. though. OF
our cities and towns are awakening to
the fact that there Is such thing as
special training necessary, and those
girls who will not take It are being left
out, and those who are willing to pay
the price for special preparation, are
the ones chosen as teachers.
