COiored People Are Indignant.

The fact that the Howard School Will
graduate but three young women this year
has brought on that schools faculty the
condemnation OF the leading colored
families Of the city. So ashamed are the
teachers Of the poor showing OF the class
that they have suggested to tho three
young women that the graduating exer.
cises b held in the school. or that the ex.
ercises be postponed until next year by
which time the faculty hopes to graduate
at least three more students.
Influential colored residents suggest that
She Board Of Education examine the mem.
bors Of the school faculty in order that
their ability as teachers may be finally
passed upon. The people declare that the
small number Of graduates is due entirely
to the fact that tho teachers at the ,nsti'
tuition are incapable Of performing the
duties REQUIRED of them.

and the spray is tossed each side of it.
Now the spray rises higher and begins
to fall upon the deck; and from mysteri :
ous sources there come water spouts and
deluges of brine. It seems as though it
were raining; yet the rain does not fall
direct. Old ocean is being dashed into
fury and the passengers cannot see three
feet away. All the while the boat rocks
violently, n those who generally enjoy
the motion of the water and who came
out to have a good time, while the others
are seasick, begin to feel the pangs them
selves. Sea sickness is guaranteed and
none a escape it.

A person who goes through all the stages
of the Paris Exposition. sees it's sights
and tries its novelties will have lived a
lifetime. Hereafter that person can tes-

sea, the sky and sub-surface.
One of the novelties promised is a tor
nado. A boat will be launched daily, and
those who desire can take passage, the
object being to a a voyage in bad
weather.. Many people nave crossed the
ocean when 1t was calm: few have ever
had the experience of being on the ocean
in a tornado. But this can be remedied
at the Paris Exposition.

for the day. The boat is to make a trip
upon the Seine and return the same day.
The journey will be about six hours long,
from ten in the morning until four in the
afternoon, though it scarcely gets 200
rect from land. Dinner is supplied the
passengers free of charge, and there is a
cafe ABOARD where they can eat and
drink at their pleasure, paying for what
they get.
AS soon as they are out upon the water
the run begins. The ship, by some inter-
nal mechanism, begins at once to rock. 1t

calm an instant before, now incline at a

Extra Session Talk.

Visitors to President Mckinley
say he has under adyisement the
calling OF an extra session of the
Fifty sixth Congress.
Recent callers at the White
House have been asked so many
questions as to what would be the
effect politically Of such a move
that they are convinced It is the
present intention to convene Con-
gress in extraordinary session,
probably by September /, and GER
tainly not later than October I.
Three matters OF more than or
dinar!' importance demand early
action, and they will form the basis
for the calling Of an extra session.
They are:
l. THE CURRENCY Question:
President Mckinley and the Re-
publican party managers believe
she issue ofcurrency reform should
be settled before the opening oi
the national campaign, if the Ad-
ministration is to derive any polit-
ical benefit, and il consideration is
Postp ned until December the re-
forms will come too late.
=. THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION:
The commission now investigating
the prob ems in the islands will
soon have its report ready. Major
General Otis will also be in posi-
tion to make important and definite
statements as to what is necessary
to be done to control the islands,
and the President wants to place
upon Congress the responsibility
for acting upon the entire question.
8. OUR New CoLoNIEs.-Gov-
ernments--Affairs in Hawaii were
left in a very unsatisfactory condi-
tion by the adjournment of Con.
gress March 4 without settling the
form of government for the new
possession. Porto Rican develop
ment is at a standstill until Con.
gress can act, and the natives are
in danger OF starving becaus? Of
the absence OF commercial rela-
tions which close the markets Of
the world against them. The
tenure of military control in Cuba
is also to be settled.
Many other matters OF impor-
tance would also be fastened by
the new Congress getting to work
early in the fall.

Lawton,s sign,lleant Statement.

A cable despatch published last
Monday contains an authorized
statement from Major General
Lawton that "the present prospect
is that at least LOG, 900 troops will
be necessary to paciiy the Philip
pine Islands,"
This is the deliberate judgment
of the General who has been fight
ing the Filiplnos and studying
them at short range. His expert
ence brings him to the conclusion
expressed by Admiral Dew ey last
summer, but suppressed by the
War Department.
In connection with the Manila
despatch must be read the Wash
ington despatch setting forth the
keen disappointment OF the War
Department over the fact that, in
spite Of special financial induce
ments held out to our volunteers
in the Philippines, only about 7
per cent. OF them is willing to re-
enlist for the "jack-rabbiting."

England Not 10 be Trusted.

BeyliHey NeHeSte NachytchfsH.
England's delays and her whole
behavior during the latest phase oil the
Samoan question is the most important
political feature in connection with the
Samoan affair. The Samoan incident is
more important, politically considered,
as a test how far it is possible to conduct
political business with England, than is
Samoa in itsell, II Great Britain does
not feel herself bound to take up a
position in a question depending on the
basis Of an agreement to be signed by
herself, which position must accord with
her bid for German friendship, the
question can.she ever be reckoned on in
political speculations as trust worthy
friend remains open. Whatever the
solution OF the local Samoan problem
may be, its real Importance depends on
the answer to that question.
