writes of North Carolina as follows:
1.-The Hon. Charles III. Mebane, the
State Superintendent. putting himself
in active sympathy with the whole work
of education, is recognized as forceful
leader. His report to the Legislature
is a document full of valuable informal
ton. The children of Sabotage number
Ga, 400; the total school revenue is ssh
23S.0O. The Assembly passed a local
taxation law, allowing townships to vote
upon the question of taxation to an
amount mot exceeding 80 cents ON tho
500, of property, and 80 cents ON TIN
polls. An appropriation of $1OO0Of'
direct from the treasury was made TO thu
public schools. These acts have sOmf
significance as showing "a renewed pledgC

Clerk III. C.. Brown, of 1.-THE CoTpor-
at1On Commission, has received from the
chairmen of the boards of commissioners
in most of the counties and from many of
the towns of the State the tax rate on
the $500 valuation of property for the

of course, been computed as yet. Some
of the counties and many of the towns
have failed to report but reports are
looked for shortly.
There lis a marked difference IN the
rates in the counties, the highest having
a rate a trif1e over double that Of the
lowest while of county towns the high
est has a rate nearly twelve times as
great as the lowest.
OF the counties Alamance is the one
where the tax gatherer is the least for

500, being the lowest in the State. Car
teret and Pennsylvania pay most unto

OF the towns, Wilmington leads in it's
rate, $1.75 ON the 500. Greensboro

The $lUU,OUO special appropriation has
not yet been apportioned.
In this county the extra money thus
obtained will be devoted to improvement,
in the various township schools, many
of which are now in need of repairs and
have not the money with which to ac-
complsh the work. In some instances
it is probable the money will be used
in erecting permanent buildings for the
use of the school children, while in 9th
ers it may be that the school year viii
be heightened by the use of this money.
The use to which this extra money
will be put has not yet been announced
though it is probable that the city school
board will determine at its next meet
ing just how it will be used in this
CITY.

Rome, May 26.-There was a mag
nificent spectacle in st. Peters yester-
day on the occasion Of the canoniza-
ton Of Jean Baptiste de Ia Sale, the
founder Of the order of Christian
Brothers. and Rita di Cascia, nun of
the Augustinian order. The interior
of the vast basilica was illuminated
and adorned with magnificent hang
ings, and the building was filled with
a great concourse of people, including
all the pontificial dignitaries, diplo-
mats and Roman nobility. OF the
10000 spectators about 10000 were
foreign pilgrims. Italian troops kept
order in the square in front of St.
Peters. while the pontifcial body
guard was stationed within the ca
thedral. Pope Leo MIL, attired in
his state robes. was borne on the sedia
gestatoria, at the head of an imposing
procession composed Of the entire pa
pal court, 800 patriots, archbishops,
bishops and four cardinals. A roar of
cheering rose from the multitude on
the pope's appearance, but the APP
plause was quickly hushed by the
guards. When the cortege reached
the choir the pope alighted from the
sedia gestatoria, took his seat on the
pontificial throne with the cardinals
and other ecclesiastics. The solemn
ceremony of caIonization was then
proceeded with.

There was no political purpose or
Importance in the visit of Queen Vic
toria to Ireland. 1t was undertaken
by the aged sovereign simply to show
the Irish people how fully she appre-
ciates the loyalty and gallantry Of her
Irish soldiers; but like many another
kindly deed. it may have more ex-
tended results. Mr.. Gladstone enact
ed a series Of reform measures based
upon justice, but England and Ire
land remained estranged. The Union
list government armed the Irish people
with complete control over local adj
ministrations, yet the breach between
the two peoples was not healed. The
queens gentle policy of gratitude and
womanly sympathy may fail, as Mr..
Gladstone's measures and Lord Sails
bury's concessions failed; but her
method appealed to the head, and
her motive is SO sincere that it can
hardly be misunderstood. She may
succeed where statesmen were de-
teated.

ment to employ modern forest meth
DDS in raising hardwood timber for its

company consists chiefly Of oak, ash
and hickory, woods especially adapted
to the manufacture Of agricultural i'm
elements. The owners intend to re-
move all the less valuable species, such
rs cottonwood, gum, honey locust and
cypress, SO as to give the others all
possible advantage for growth. A plan
will be made by which the merchant
able timber may be removed without
injury to the producing power Of the
forest. The division will send experts
to the tract to make the observations
necessary for such plan.

Washington, May 28.-The United
States government has taken hand in
the suppression Of the Boxers in
China. Minister Conger has been in
strlcted by the state department to
INFORM the Chinese government that
the government of the United States
expects it to stamp out promptly and,
effecually the society and to provide
for the maintenance Of law and order
and the protection Of life and property
of Americans in China, all now threat
ened by the operations of the Boxers"
There is no Indications in the instruc-
lions as to the course that will be pur-
sued by the United States in case the
Chinese government fails to observe
the warning conveyed in this COM
munication. Mr.. Conger is acting on
parallel lines with the representatives
of every European power at the Chi
nese court, but has not Joined in my
concerted action. 1t is intimated bere
that the Chinese government in deal
ing with the Boxers
Will Encounter Great Difficulty,
as the society claims to he purely So
cial in character. The Boxers now
are not attacking foreign missionaries,
but are killing the Chinese who allow
themselves to be converted to Chris
tianity. This phase Of the matter is
difficult to deal with, as it is a we'll
recognized right of nation to deal
with it's own subjects as it pleases.
This view does not contemplate ex-
cesses such arc ascribed to the
Boxers" and there is believed to be
reasonable ground for foreign inteDs
vention which would include the par
ticipation of United States warships
and even troops il such should be
necessary.
Mr.. Conger's latest advices to the
state department indicates that this
troublesome society is waxing strong
in the very heart of Pekin, the Chinese
capital, and it was evident from Che
tone of his dispatch that crisis was
approaching which would either re-
Quire drastic action by the Chinese
government or IL hostile demonstrations
by the powers in the near future. a

Inventors in German factories have
o hard time to profit by their brain
work, according to "a report to the
state department by Consul General
Guenther at Frankfort. He cites the
case OF foreman who invented a SUBJ
stance used in finishing velvet. Be-
cause he impaired his invention to
persons outside of the firm for which
he worked the foreman was tried and
convicted of revealing a trade secret,
although this secret was his own. The
German court took the ground that #
was duty of the foreman to make ex-
periments; chat his inventions be-
longed to his employers and that he
had no right to expose them.
