A CHINESE SPEAR WOUND.
The Wound Received by Capt. My CTS, of the Marine Corps, in the
 Fighting in China.

Washington, Nov. Admiral Van Reypen, surgeon general of the navy, has received a report concern ing the wounding of Capt. Myers, the ranking marine officer at Pekin. The wound proves to have been most nov el, being made by Chinese spear, and is one of the few wounds from such weapon that American sur geons have been called upon to treat. 1t also evidences the close quarters at which the American commander at Pekin was engaged with the Chi nese spearmen. The wound had healed to some extent. and Capt. My CTS is convalesce.it, although it has been deemed advisable to remove ...m to the naval hospital at Yokohama.

 IRRIGATION CONVENTION.
Two Important Subjects to Come Before the Irrixation Conven-
 tfon at Chicago

Washington, Nov. 1.-Two import ant subjects to be discussed by the Irrigation convention, at Chicago. next week, and to be urged on con- gress this session, for approximation. are projects for the irrigation of the arid lands of the Milk River valley in Montana and for furnishing big res ervoir plant for the Pima and Mari copa Indians in the Gila region in Arizona. The first project is calcu- lated to cost about S2,000. GOO alto gether. Already the summits offhe Rockies adjacent to the Canadian bor- der have been surveyed to ascertain the area tributary to this point of diversion of water. It is stated that probably half a million acres of the arid lands in the Milk River valley will be reached if the project is executed.
 In the Arizona project it is pro- posed to build about fifty miles m the river, beyond the present reserya- ton, a reservoir costing in the neiph- borhood of S1.5oo.0oO, which will sun ply not only these once prosperous but now distressed Indians. but as well large area of public lands cal cnlated to pay the cost of the entire project.

A PRoTRAcTED CONFERENCE.
The Ministers at Pekin Seem to be Making Progress Toward
 Settlement.

Pekin, Nov, 12. via Shanghai, Nov LA protracted conference of the foreign ministers was held to-day, at the conclusion of which there was a general expression of qualification at the progress made toward reaching settlemnt. It was stated that most of the minor points had been ols- posed of, and that an agreement had been reached upon sevral essential questions. The meeting disclosed few CT difficulties over important points than was expected, which is largely due to the fact that the ministers have recived definite instructions from their home governments.
 United States Minister Conger said he was encouraged to believe that propositions would be ready to be submitted to the Chinese plenipoten. tihries at an earlier date than he had heretofore hoped.
 The ministers will meet again to. morrow.

SCHOOLS IF PORTO RICO.
Report of Nj. c. Brumbaugh, Com missioner of Education
 for Porto Rico.
ONLY 4 BEGINNING HAS YET BEEN MADE
There Are Three Hundred Thonssnd Children of school Age For Whom There are No Present Facilities The Advepturer Glass of Teachers is Being Needed out.

Washington. Nov. l5.-M. C. Brum- baugh, commissioner of education for Porto Rico. says the school systen: TOW in operation there includes s0f teachers and 3s,0oO pupils. This T: only a beginning. as there are 300, ,ooC children of school age without school facilities. most of whom would attend if they could. Mr. Brumbaugh says the hope of the island is in fhe public schools, and the great illiteracy in Porto Rico must he reduced.
 Transformation Must he Gradual.
 The schools are not to be compared with American systems, but their transformation must be gradual. The report says the present school law should be wholly abrogated at the coming session of the insular legisIa- ture, for many reasons, and new law passed. A change in the licensing of teachers is needd to protect good teachers, and from the pernicious in- reference of politicians
 Closer Supervision Urged.
 The report urges closer supervision, and quotes Dr. Groff, formerly acting commissioner, as saying that the SUI pervisors of the school were, at first, ex-soldiers, ex-teamsters, cx-packers and other such men, and they had to teach English in addition. but now they are men qualified as the salary can command, and the supervision re- quires their entire time.
 American Teachers Engaged.
 There are over 100 American teach. CTS engaged in the schools. and the demand is for more, provided they know enough Spanish to instruct the children in their native tongue. One group of these American teachers is denounced the speakers after novel ty and new experiences, mere adven turers. who imposed upon the admin istration and the children, and who used the salaries and position oi teachers solely to see new country for year and then return For. tunately, these are gone, and the bet ter teachers remain to carry on a really helpful and arduous task. Tn. people of Porto Rico have patientl, borne with these adventurers, ant quietly longed for their departure.-
 Eighty Per Cent of nIiteracy.
 Thousands of children in this is land, says the report. are hal clothed. helf fed and half houses. A least 80 per cent. of all the peopl, are iiliterate, and the crying need il schools 10 reduce the appaIlino ;l1;t eracy. There are no public school buildings, and no public colleges O universities.
