WI TING FANG, the Chinese
minister, addressed the high school
girls of Philadelphia on Washington's
birthday aud said some eminently
sensible things. After referring to
two girls, one of whom had told him
that she was studying for the stage, he
said:
1t is the duties of housekeeping and
becoming proper and useful wives that
1 imagine you should be best educated
in. The duties of living happily with
your future husbands are doubtless
part of your education. 1t Is we'll to
learn these things. Women ought to
be taught In theline belonging to their
sex. After leaving school you come in
natural aim of your life, and you
should know how to keep house and
not be mere ornaments.
Then the minister vas escorted to the
gymnasium of the Normal school and
he hai this to say:
1 do not understand why you do
those energeticexercises. l suppose it
is to exercise your muscles for the sake
of health. That Is a very good object.
but wish to say this-that l hope you
will not have to use your experience
In this place when you leave the
school, after you have graduated.
When you get married, as all of you
will be some day, hope you will have
no occasion to use that experience on
your future partners for life, but you
may teach your children for the sake
of health-that will be very good.
You are in this school for the pur-
pose of preparing yourselves to be
teachers. 1 hope you will be not only
teachers in lessons, but teachers in
morals, ard after learning all these
good lessons you become examples OF
virtue, OF charity, of morality. to 9th
err people. That is what you will be.
and you will be not only pleasure to
yourself, but an honor to the school
you leave,

paid for transporting the troops to the
different camps, which is quite an item
in the general total. The twenty sixth
legislature made the necessary APP
preparation, but an amendment was
tackled on the act which will not per-
NIT the payment of the claims unless
first approved by the federal govern
ment, which the latter refuses to do,
as the act of congress provides that the
state must first pay the claims and then
present them to the secretary of war
for approval and liquid alton. AS there
are large sums tied up there is
much anxiety as to whether or not the
governor will be successful in having
the technicalities passed over and the
claims paid.

TEXAS SCHOOL LANDS.

The governor has approved the Pot
ter land bill, passed by the first called
session of the twenty-sixth legislature.
and it Is now filed in the secretary of
states office. On account OF the i'm
portance of the measure, as it will set
at rest very grave question, the set
Ting of the controversy between the
state and the permanent school fund,
the governor requested Land Commits
sioner Rogsn to give his views on the
measure and it's effects on the situation.
In substance Mr.. Rogan says that
according to the findings of the spe-
cial commission appointed under the
act of March 2, 1899, the legislature
found that under the constitution the
school fund was entitled to 81, 757, 100. IS
acres. After deducting II, 16O acres
from the amount of recovered land
which had been cold by the Houston
and Texas Central railroad to certain
to thei suit of the state to recover
certain lands from the railroad COM
pany, and who were innocent purchas-
ers, the school fund had received 3d.
294, 255.51 acres, or lab, 535.27 acres
less than the quantity to which it was
entitled. After gran ting all OF the IN
appropriated public domain of 4, 444
1875 acres to this fund, il would still be
entitled to 90, 340.27 acres, or it's
equivalent.
In payment ofsthis de felt, the origi-
nal bill provided for an appropriation
of S29, 340.27. An amendment was Of
fered TO the bill authorizing the COM
missioner of the general land Office to
issue patents to such parties for the
II, 16O.acres of land which they had
bought'and paid for, end who had fled
their proofs in the land Office within
the time prescribed by law without
further pay, but the amendment Was
subsequently stricken out and section
IL of the present bill was adopted,
thereby adding u, 160 acres more to
the permanent school fund, which
necessitated reducing the appropria-
ton to S17, 1927, which was done.
The.fnal adjustment of the indeb-
tedness of the state to the school fund
is a matter of great Importance to the
people of Texas. 1t removes the cloud
that has heretofore been cast on thou
sands of homes and other land titles in
the state, and this bill makes it pcs
sible for the people to perfect their
titles and procure patents to their
lands. 1t disposes of all the public do
main, and has transferred it to the
school fund to be leased and sold as

THE BOER ARMY

Recent information regarding the
armament of the B0er forces and the
large number of European officers who
are assisting them in conducting the
campaign indicates that Great Britain

the relief of Ladysmit reported today

improvement, and the entire mum Der
superior ne arly in every way to those
possessed by The British.
In small arms the bulk of the
burgher army is supplied with Mauser
rifles of high velocity, whose bullets
have very much the effect of explosive
projectiles in wounds. There are like
wise large quantity of Kropatscheck
rifles from Portugal, and 'Mannlicher
from Germany. These latter, however,
have not been used to any extent, --
Another advantage besides the sup
eriority of guns that the Beers have
over the British opponents is the pres
ence in their army of qualified, capable
officers from every continental nation
excepting Italy. There are 1000
selected commissioned officers from
Russia, France, Belgium, Austria,
Holland, Germany and Spain actively
aiding Gen. Joubert5 in his campaign.
These men have taken with them
the training of almost every military
school in Europe, and it has been
placed at the disposal of President
Kruger for the duration of the war.
A large proportion of these officers |
have been engaged for two years in ar
ranging plans for invasion or resist
ance in the interest of the Transvsal.

Expenditures in Cuba.

WASHINGTON, May 1S-The War De
nartment to-day sent to the Senate, IN
answer to a resolution. an itemized state
ment in regard to receipts and eNpend!-
lures of all sorts in Cuba, including sala-
res and allowances to officers s;nce the
United States assumed control OF the
island
THIS statement is an extension of con-
densed one supplied on February 10Th last,
General Wood having furnished the details
at the direction of the department.
The statement shows that the total re-
ceipts from all sources in Cuba for the
wear 1889 were SIG, ,316.59o. The expenditures
are set down as s7.4A-I19.
The allowances to military officers are
shown in detail and are nearly all for
small amounts. The $1,000 which was said
to have been paid for house for General
Chaffee was actually expended by the
