NO MATERIAL CHANGES.

Referring to the bill now before the
legislature, which has passed both
houses and is waiting for the Gov
errors signature, the Republ can
this morningsays:
ut is not probable that any very
material changes in the public school
law will be passed by the present leg
islaturs. The bill providing for the
appointment of school commissioners
has passed both bodies and is now
ready for the Governors signature.
The bill provides that the Governor
shall appoint eighty-four school COM
missionsrs for the various counties
of the state. In counties where three
commissioners are to be appointed
one must be appointed from the mi
nority party and, in counties where
six are TO be appointed, two must be
from the minority party. The bill,
also, gives the Governor authority to
remove school commissioner for
cause. The most important change
proposed in the school laws is the
creation Of the Office of State Super
tendent of public schools. This
would certainly be a step in the right
direction. At present we have no
State Superintendent. The Princi-
pal of the State Normal School is
supposed to perform the duties of
State Superintendent in addition to
those of the principalship of the
Normal School. Of course, he can
not do it. The Normal School has
an enrolment of about 400 pupils
and one man has all he can do to
look after such school. This was
recognized by the last legislature
when it passed law providing for
the appointment of director for
teachers institutes. The plan now
under consideration is to authorize
the State Board of Education to APP
point State Superintendent of Pub
lie Schools whose business it shall be
TO look after the public schools of the
State generally and be to the State
Board of Education what county
School Examiner is to Boards of
County School Commissioners. He
gould, also, be the institute director.
Minor changes proposed and which
will likely be made in the school
laws are; adoption of all text books
by boards of county school commits
sioners, authorizing the purchase out
of the free school book fund of school
supplies generally. except furniture
and desks, and giving teachers the
right of appeal to county boards when
arbitrarily dismissed by school trus-
tees, the decision of the county
board to be final

THE BATTLE OF DUNDEE.
Correspondence of an Officer Published
 in Le Figaro of Paris.

Correspondence of an Officer Published
 0 in Le Figaro of Paris.
 Le Figaro of Paris recently published
 two letters from a British officer, a prisoner at Pretoria, to woman pre-
 sumably his wife The first letter is dated October 25 1899, and desciibes the
 battle of Dundee and the surrender of
 Eighteenth Hussars concerning which
 there have been many conflicting re-
 ports The writer says:
 "I once charged with my squadron,
 taking several prisoners and inficting
 losses on the enemy. Our adversarles
 fight well, and are opponents not to be
 desplsed. They greatly outnumbered us
 Unfortunately, our line of retreat was
 intercepted by the enemy. All we could
 do was to take up as strong position
 as possible and resist, on the chance of
 relief coming or of being able to escape during the night. It was terrible wealth CT. It had rained pouring rain the whole
 day, the ground was soft, heavy mist
 was hanging upon it, and 1t was bitter | ly cold Our horses were dropping down from exhaustion, having been neither fed nor watered. Our position, selected by the Colonel, was farm with a wall in front, behind which we took shelter. We took this position at about 12:15, and for three hours we resisted overwhelm- ing forces, but although we had good shelter and the mounted infantry were under cover of the rocks, we suffered heavily. We replied to the enemys fire, but at length our ammunition began to run short, and the enemy began to sur rDI1n6 I1C A lo hit with a bullet in the eye. Several were killed and wounded. Our position seemed hopeless, and when heavy gunts were brought into position against us I thought our last hour had come. The shells killed many horses and several men; nearly all the remaining horses stampeded. The enemy promptly found the range, and they handled their guns admirably. I remember taking out my cigarette case and putting it in q breast pocket to cover the heart.
 When the Colonel ordered the white flag to be hoisted, q man ran into the farm, brought out half a sheet and tying 1t to stick, waved it oyer the wall. Instantly the firing ceased on both sides. The Boers' galloped up and We surrendered. The Colohe said it was useless resisting any longer. Our am intuition was well-nigh gone, we had no | horses left, and three guns were pointed | on us. Still 1t was very humiliating, | and not one of us surrendered willingly. | Our swords, pistols, and glasses were taken from us We were very well | treated and were allowed to visit the wounded We had eight wounded and two killed, and the mounted infantry i. with us the same number We were al- together nine officers, thirty-two men of the Eighteenth Hussars eighty men of the Dublin Fusiliers, and fourteen of the Sixtieth Rifles The men behaved splendidly. Every one was ready to die. They all felt, like myself that our last had come and were surprised when the order was given to hoist the white flag
