CHINESE READY TO MAKE TERMS
All The Foreign Powers Getting In
Line to Accept The Position Taken
By The United States.

Washington, D. c., Special.-Favor-
able news has reached Washington
from the European chancellories indi-
eating that a complete agreement as
to China is within sight and that, too,
on the basis of the proposition laid
down by Secretary Hay in his note of
July 6, and the subsequent notes treat
ing of that subject. The accord Of Rus
sia with the United States is more
complete than was anticipated at first
and the reports show that all Of the
European nations probably are plac-
ing themselves in position to take ad-
vantage of the opening made by the
United States and soon will be ready
to begin negotiations for settlement
with the Chinese government. The
Russians have given notice Of such
purpose and while the text Of the
French note on this subject, referred to
in the press dispatches, has not reached
the State Department the officials are
satisfied that this is correctly reported
and that France, like Russia, is ready
to negotiate at once.
AS for Germany, either the position
of that government has been misun-
derstood, or it has sustained a change
of mind. Possibly the former is the
case; but, however that may be, it is
quite certain from the advices which
have reached Washington that the
German government, upon careful in
spection OF the plans for settlement
projected by the United States, finds
therein nothing inconsistent with the
German aspirations. Therefore, it may
be expected that Germany, too, will be
prepared soon to join in this common
movement towards settlement. 1t
may be stated that altogether the pros
poets Of an adjustment of the Chinese
difficulty without resort to formal war
are very much brighter than they were
one week ago.

Wholesale Punishment.

Washington, D. c., Special.-The
Chinese minister has delivered to the
State Department officials confirmation
Of the degradation Of Prince Tuan and
many other Chinese leaders. The fol-

received from Director General Sheng,
at Shanghai, states that by imperial

Chwang, Prince Yih, secondary Prin-

OF the graduates Of Yale University
from 1895 to 1899 only twenty-nine
per cent. were from New England,
while thirty-eight per cent. were from
the Middle Atlantic States, twenty
two per cent. from the North Central
States and seven per cent. from the
South. 1t is also a striking fact that
a large proportion of the graduates
adopt business careers. At the begin
ming of the century a mere handful
became business men, while now the
nercentare is one-t third, another third

It is evident from articles lately
nublisbed in the Pail Mall Gazette
and other London newspapers that q
great many Englishmen are haunted
with the belief that the French Will
attempt to invade their island at no

alarmists is thai. after the Paris En-
position is closed, the Waldeck-RouS-

their neighbors across the Channel,
and who are convinced that their

MISS Ellen Terry. herself one of the
most charming Of women. may not know
the secret of her charm, but she makes a
shrewd guess. Speaking of her own
acknowledged power over her audience,
Miss Terry says: Possibly the power
was due as much to the capacity for be-
ing charmed as TO my power OF charming
them. Is it not all matter Of sympa-
thy?" This is the exact truth. The
woman who looks for charm in others
and knows how TO find it. possesses the
gift herself. She who attributes good to
another and who maintains this as an
habi,ual attitude is the woman who sheds
sweetness and light and captivates all
hearts. The process is simple enough.
but that may possibly be why so many
people find IT difficult.

MAYOR HAYES has appointed woman
on the school Board of Baltimore city.
This is good step in the right direction.
Women should be on school Boards. and
every other Board. She has proved a
success on the Baltimore city Jail Board,
and is sure to succeed on the school
Board. She understands the needs Of
the children and sympathizes with the
teachers. most of whom are women.
She never fails to do her work thorough
ly and well to the best interests of all
concerned. Women on the Annapolis
school Board have done more to advance
the interests OF the school than men ever
we're known to do. Give us women on
the school Boards. Jail Boards. Aims

THE bill. which has been iavorably re-
ported. TO permit graduates of St. John
and Western Maryland College to be-
come teachers without requiring them to
under go an examination. is good one.
For years past it has been blot on the
escu,cheons OF these high institutions Of
learning. and their standing has been
questioned when their graduates have
been required to take the examination
for teacher in the public schools of Mary
land. when Normal School graduates
were exempt. the curriculum of both
colleges being far above that OF the Nor
NAL School--a training school for teach
ers.
A diploma from any college should be
enough guarantee of ones ability to
teach. without questioning that ability by
requiring the candidate for teacher to be
"examined." since he has beenexamined
over and over again. Let the bill pass.
