PARIS, Jan. 2.-Gen. MERCER received
an unexpected rebuff yesterday when the
old students of the Ecole Polytechnique,
which furnishes a majority of the artil-
lery and engineer officers to the army, met
in the school theater to elect president.
Amid great excitement the ballot was
taken, the result showing only 200 votes
for Gen. MERCER against LOCO for his
adversary. Uproar and a free fight fol-
lowed, Gen. Mercier's partisans declar-
ing that the ballot had been falsified.
Tables and chairs were overturned and

EDUCATION IN PORTO RICO.
Report on the Present Conditions In
the Islands.

NEW YORK, July 24.-Interesting de-
tails concerning education in Porto Rico

B. Scott has just submitted 10 the Ameri-
can Missionary Association. He estimates
that OF $4,000 inhabitants of Porto Rico

ing capacity OF all the schools in the capt.
tai, public and private, IS not more than
1900. There have been during the past
year in the public schools Of San Ju IN nine
or ten American teachers. Forty more
American teachers are scattered through
the public schools Of the island. about
twenty Of whom are men acting as super
visors Of districts and superintendents of
city schools.
Porto Rico is divided for educational
purposes into fifteen districts, each with an
American supervisor in charge Of from
thirty to forty schools. They must ride
hundreds Of miles. largely on native pom
les, ever poor roads and poorer mountain
trails. Inspecting the schools and helping.

teachers. The great problem in Porto
Rico. says Mr. Scott, will be the education

les. The cities are already providing for
teachers training schools.

THE MISSIONARY TYPE.
Ien and Women Aiding Christianity
in China.


As oae result Of the tragic events which
have fixed all eyes upon China the world
at large is getting a clearer impression OF
the true missionary type Of character than
it has ever had before. The churches and
missionary organizations. of course, have
known what sort OF men and women were
entering upon the foreign service, and in
what spirit they went out, but the average
man has not concerned himself much about
the matter. Now. however. the mission

Iy meddling in the least with matters
lying outside the scope Of direct religious
work. They seem not to know what per-
soEal fear is. While they take no need
less risks, they do not srink from any
danger incident to thsi- work. Their chief
thought is not how they may be made Sc
cure, but how people about them may be
enlightened and how Christian converts
can be guided.
Some of the letters which have found
their way into print written b. mission

\ DepiorubIe Condition Alleged to
Exist There.

Surgeon General Sternberg yesterday re-
turned from an extended tour on the Pa
cifc Coast and is we'll pleased with the
condition of the barracks at San Fran
cisco.
He has received a letter from Surgeon
r C. Ebert United States Army. al Cape
Nome. Alaska. in which the latter de-
scribes existing conditions at that place.
The letter says that within two CT three
weeks the population has increased from
.. 700 to O.O0O, with tents and buildings
irregularly located along the beach, The
sanitary conditions we're very crude in
the first place. and with the influx Il the
new population have become much worse.
He describes a horrible condition exist
ing, as there is no method Of cleaning
up the town and nc provisions for the de-
s,ruction OF accumulatioAs OF garbage and
filth.
Upon the recommendation Of the surgeon
General Randall has issued a circular o.
der directing the construction of drains,
the destruction of garbage. and the re-
nlovaI OF filth. but as there is no fund ex-
cept voluntary contributions, it is hard
to get ANYTHING done. Common laborers
receive 81 an hour; mechanics, $3.50 an
hour and teams SO an hour. Owing 10
these high prices it is almost impossible
IN carry out the orders Of the general.
All of the commissioners. except one, have
resigned or ceased to act. The thi-sL for
gold existing among the people who have

else. and no attention is paid to sanitary
conditions. Water is very bad and costs
from to 10 cents per gallon.
