What the Republics President Says
of the Impendine War.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE following cable
gram was received tonight by the Chicago
Tribune from President Kruger of the
Transvaal Republic. The cablegram was
sent in answer to a message from the Tri-
buue, requesting a statement of the posi-
ton of the Transvaal in the present crisis.
In the cablegram, which follows, small
words have been filled in, in order 10 make
smoother reading:
Pretoria. Oct n.-Tribune. Chicago:
Through the Tribune we wish to thank
cur many American friends for sympathy
in the present crisis of the republic. Last
Monday we gave England forty eight
hours notice within which to give nssur-
ance that the dispute will be settled by
arbitration or other peaceful means. The
notice expires at O'Clock to-day. The
British agent is recalled and war
is certain This is the fitting
end of the British policy of force
ana fraud which has marked all
South Africa with the blood of Afrikand-
ers.
We must now make South Africa free
or the white mans grave. The republics
forces include all natonalities, among
them a strong American corps showing
it is not a case of Boer against Uitlander,
bus all nations against the English. We
have full faith in freedom and republic
canism and the righteousness which guides
the destinies of nations. 3

REPORT ON STATE SCHOOLS.
Prof. Glenn Has Prepared interest
ing Matter for the Legislature.

ing Matter for the Legislature.
Atlanta, Oct. 1.-THE report of the oper-
atoms of the public schools for the year
1898 was completed by State School Conn
missioner Glenn to-day to be submitted 10
the Legislature by the Governor.
There are 7447 common schools in the
staeN, 1862 white and 2.6S5 negro, an in
crease of fourteen over last year. The
enrolment was 2547S7 whites and 165,45o

crs and 1,400 male and 1915 female negro

teachers is 1881, an increase of ninety
seven over 1897.
The report shows an increase of 1872 white
teachers who received normal instruction
in 1898 over 1897. while the decrease
among the negroes was thirty-tive., II has
been mainly through Prof. Glenn's person
al and persistent effort that normaa train
ing among The teachers has been stimulat-
cd. The average annual salary of teach
ers amounts to $142.69 in the common
schools. while it is S467.05 in the counties
maintaining a local system.
The amount per capita expended in the
common schools is IS. %, while in the local
system it is $11.7S, thus emphasizing the
face of the great superiority of the local
over I16 common SCIlOol SSStSAlAs ny iiif7bA
ing better teachers and better results.
Therefore Prof Glenn is doing all he can
to inaugurate the local system in as many
counties as possible. The best schools are
found in those counties where the stale
fund is supplemented byNcounty taxation.
The school fund for the last scholastic
year was 81 ,632 ,SS1. This was distributed
as follows: For saliries of County School
Commissioners, $62 304; for salaries of mem
bers of the County Boards OF Education,
$40 AS; for incidentals, including the cost
of taking the school census $28,39S; for
school houses and supplies. $41572; for
teachers. 81, 232, 307, and S20991S paid direct
to the local systems from the department
of education making the total expenditures
of the common schools amount TO $l,37S, 307.
There has been an increase in first
grade white teachers and an increase in
third grade negro teachers, due TO the
higher standard set for the teachers.
