News Mt japanese Legation. q
Washington, July 1.-THE Japanese
legation Monday received cable from
the minister of foreign affairs dated
Toxic, July 70, giving some belated de-
tails of the fighting at Tientsin July 3,
when the town was still in possession
of the allies.
According to- this cable there are
1000 Japanese troops at Tientsin. More
than half the allied troops in the attack
on Tientsin on the 18th, therefore,
probably were Japanese. The cable is
as follows:
ION the Sd inst large body of Chi
nese soldiers appeared before Tientsin
and attacked the northern part of the
settlement, which was guarded by the
Russian troops. The Japanese sent to
their aid. at the Russian generals request,
one battery Of artillery and two COM
panies of infantry. After a heavy can
nonade they silenced the Chinese guns
and finally repulsed the enemy.
1.-The Japanese losses in this engage
ment were two captains killed and about
80 noncommisSioned officers and men
killed or wounded. Maj. Gen. Fukushima
has now under him at Tientsin about
1000 Japanese troops" = &ES ~ -
Special Session of Cabinet.

The council lasted for. some time
and the situation was thoroughly dis
cussed. In all probability the presi-
dent will come home within the next
two or three days to remain a day or
two. There is reason to believe that
5000 or 10000 troops will be gotten to-
gether as rapidly as possible, and hur-
ried to China. " Some of these prob
ably will be taken from Cuba. If the
situation requires more men congress
will have to be called together to-pro-
vide for them.

Close Call for Well Diggers

One of a crew of we'll diggers named
Ludwig Geilinger, who are sinking we'll
at the reformatorye at st. Cloud, was
overcome by gas and only rescued in a
dying condition. A blast had been set off
in the bottom of the well, which was 80
feet deep, and Geilinger had gone down
to ascertain it's effect, when he was i'm
mediately rendered unconscious. His
companions became panic stricken and,
making no effort to rescue him, ran to
where a guard and crew of inmates were
picking berries and they came to his as
sistance. One of the inmates, more cour-
ageous than Geilingers fellow workers.
volunteered to descend into the well to
effect his removal, and notwithstanding
the danger succeeded in tying a rope
about the unconscious man and he was
raised to the surface. In the meantime
physician had been sent for and after an
hours hard work Geilinger was restored
to consciousness

SCOIen bICyCIeSs
The police reports of Minneapolis for
the first six months of the present year,
ending July show that 3O3 wheels were
stolen as against only 1852 for the six
months Of 1899, or nearly double the num-
Der. The department recovered more
stolen bicycles than were stolen in 1899.
the recoveries for 1900 aggregating y64, or
81 per cent of the number stolen. The
recoveries in 1899 for the six months
amounted to SO, or GO per cent of the
whole number stolen. The increase this
season in the number of stolen wheels is
attributed to the carelessness of the own
ers of bicycles in leaving them standing
in unprotected places. - .sE5

Gift to Bond Holders.

The new bank bill which has recently
become law. reduced to plain English
reads that the Secretary of the Treasury
may receive the three per cent bonds at
valuation at not more than Io6, the tours
at 1I2, the Ewes at ITO. And all these
bonds are selling today at prices very
much above such valuations Yet no
doubt that millions of these bonds will at
once be turned in for refunding or con-
version, and turned in at valuation five
or six points below the market price.
And why2 Because the new twos are
quoted and sold at Io7, delivery to be
made when issued, and tue holder Of a
four per cent offered new bond worth
1907 and cash bonus of II per cent is not
going to hesitate long about turning in
his bond for conversion if the market
price is less than JIG. The fact is that
this new currency bill is responsible for
the rise in such four per cents; a rise
from III before such bill was introduced
to 1881 or IIo today. Such bill virtually
makes a gift, or authorizes the Secretary
of the Treasury to make gift to each
bondholder of thousand dollar bond OF
about $40. And in anticipation of max
| ing such gift, the bonds haye been.bid

A Good rleasure.

One of the best nieasnres-if not the
very best act-passed by the late legisla
ture of Maryland was that providing fol
Board to investigate the institution:
now receiving appropriations from the
State with view TO ascertaining whether
or not the appropriations are wisely and
judiciously expended, where reductions
should be made and in what cases the
appropriations should be cut off entirely,
This is most excellent provision. The
treasury is honeycombed with these
sturdy beggars, fastened on it, and Their
demands are growing every Legislature,
which if granted would bankrupt the
State. This commission should be the
means Of their wedding out. Any insti.
tutions the State appropriates should be
under the entire supervision and control
of the State. The numerous private
charitable institutions of a sectariau
character, and schools which require all
annual donation from the State, with nc
supervision by the State 10 know how the
money is spent, should all be turned over

Education In the Philippines.

What is the actual condition of public
education in the Philippine Islands, and
how can II be improved? To these OBJ
viously fundamental questions we may
deduce provisional answers from the tes-
timony on the subject taken before the
Philippine Commission al Manila de-
tailed report Of which has been issued bv
the Government Printing Oilco The tes-
timOny was obtained partly from we'll
educated laymen of Tagalog stock and
partly from members Of the Company of
JESUS. We should hera note that the re-
liGious orders are not regarded with in
discriminate hostility by the Filipinos.
4 sharp distinction Is drawn When one
hears frars spoken Of with dislike.
II is not the Jesuits, or even the Capuchins
but the Dominicans. Franciscans, Au-
gustinians and Recoletos whom the speaker
las in view.
According to Sehor FEIIPF CAIpERoS. a
lawyer. whose evidence was in most points
confirmed 10y two CONSPICUOUS Jesuit
fathers. the contemporaneous history of
education in the Philippines begins with the
year 1850. when the Jesuits returned. tn
to that time the dominant friars had main
tained that Spanish should by no means be-
taught in the islands, for the curious reason
that. should the natives acquire that Ian
gIage. they would understand the laws
The Jesuits, however, who held contrary
opinion. eventually triumphed. and Sc
cured cnaCtments making the teaching
of Spanish obligatory, simultaneously.
u normal school was established for the
training Of teachers intended for the pri-
mary schools This school was supported
by the Spanish Government and directed
hy the Jesuts. II still exists and has been
the most powerful means of dfrusing the
Spanish language.
How, then. can we account for the facr
that. in spite Of the provisions made for
tho teaching of Spanish about the year SEQ.
there are now only some 10 per cent of
the population of even the most civiliycI
parts ot the Philippines who speak Span
