To Promote Education.

It will be the duty of the commission to pro-
mote and extend, and, as they find OCCASION 10
improve, the system Of education already in
augurated by the military authorities. In doing
this they should regard as of first Importance
the extension of system Of primary education
which shall be free to all, and which shall tend
to fit the people for the duties OF citizenship and
for the ordinary ayocations Of civilized COM
munity.. This instruction should be given in
the first instance in every part Of the islands in
the language Of the people In view of the
great number of languages spoken by the differ
ent tribes, it is especially important to the pros
perity of the islands that common medn y
Of communication may be established ana 1t IS
obviously desirable that this medium should hr
the English language, Especial attention should
be at once given to atfording full opportunity

ernments organized by the commission, the pre-
sumption is always to he in favor OF the smaller

ernmpnt shall be vested in that government and
so that in the governmental system, which is
the result Of the process, the central govern
ment of the islands, following the example OF
| the distribution Of the powers between the
states and the national government Of the United
| States, shall have no direct administration eX'
| cept Of matters Of purely general concern and
| shall have only such supervision and control

MIR. WYNDHAM,s STATEMENT.
145, 900 Men and 39s Guns Already in
the Field.

London, Feb. 1.--George Wyndham,
under secretary Of war, in the house of
commons to-day to question of the OPP
position replied: 1.-THE two cardinal
points in the campaign were, firstly, a
desire to give diplomacy chance; Sec
ondly, the decision of General Butler to
relieve Ladysmith. 1t must not be sup
posed that 1 criticised General Buffers
decision. General Butler was on the
spot and could doubtless explain his ac-
tion. 1t was easy to conceive other dis
aeters which might have occurred along
another line of advance. They might
have had universal rising Of the Dutch
in the Cape" He deplored the amend
ment, which would be misunderstood
by the continental critics and by kins-
men in America and Natal.
AS regards the forces engaged, Mr..
Wyndham said that, exclusive of the
Eighth division and the Fourth Cavalry
brigade, Great Britain had $4,000 foot
and artillery, $500 cavalry, thirtysix
siege guns, thirty-eight naval guns,
thirty-six howitzers, fifty-four batteries
of horse artillery and 234 field guns,
while the combined forces Of the two re-
publices were estimated in 1898 at $4,000
men. Mr.. Wyndham also said he would
have to ask the house for large financial
means in order that the war might be
brought to the only possible conclusion,
and that the system of home defense be
put on a sound footing.

DOINGS OF CONGREsS.


In the House.
| Washington, Feb. 1.-Representative
Joseph Sibley of Pennsylvania, who at
tanned great prominence in the Fifty
fourth congress by his earnest cham
pionship Of free silver, assailed his DEM
ocratic colleagues day for their oppo-
sition to expansion in a speech that
made the floor and galleries roar. Mr..
Sibley has recanted his views on free
silver and is now generally out Of line
with his democratic colleagues He in
sisted to-day that expansion was an
original democratic doctrine promulgat-
ed by Jefferson and ahered to by Madi-
son, Tyler, Polk and Buchanan. In elo-
Quent language he pictured the destiny
OF the United States carrying the arts
OF peace and the story of the cross to
The remotest corners of the globe. Mr.,
Slbley received an impressive demon
stratlon when he closed. The remain
der OF tho debate to-day was uninterest-
ing. 1t touched the questions Of media
ton IN the Transvaal war, lynchings in
the south and the jury law In Hawaii.
Not much progress was made with the
Indian appropriation, which was under
discussion.

The POstmastershAp Fight In Essex-i
e. Goddard Successful.

Essex, Conn, Feb. 1.-The contest
which was waged here for weeks among
several aspirants for the position of
postmaster of Essex was ended to-day
by the citizens expressing by ballot
their choice of candidates. The con-
testants included Albert E. Goddard,
Augustus K. Pratt, Joseph r. Johnson,
Julius Wilder, B. A. Rathbon, republi-
cans, and Charles Harrington, the pres
ent postmaster, democrat. Mr.. Rath-
bun, however, withdrew his name and
he was not balloted for. There were
1S9 votes cast and Mr.. Goddard receiv-
ed SO. Augustus K. Pratt was second.
but he received only al votes. Mr..
Harrington got 23. This method of Sc
lecting a candidate was adopted at the
suggestion of Congressman Sperry. He
had received petitions from all of the
gentlemen named and as the petitions
We're all signed by about the same gem
tlemen the congressman was in a
quandary.

CANON FARMER FROM PREToRIA.
His Opinion of NIacrum-PretOria Pro-
vlsIoned for Two Years.

His Opinion of Macrum-Pretoria Pro-
vIsiomcd for Two Years.
London, Feb. 1.-Canon Farmer, who
was forced to leave Pretoria with other
British clergymen, has arrived in Lon
don. With reference to Charles e,
Macrum, the former United States con-
sui at Pretoria, he said to a represen-
tative of the Associated Press: "Mr.
Macrum was one of the last men I saw
before leaving. told him he was tax
ing the wrong side and did not under
stand American feeling. His chief care
seemed to be for his personal safety
and l think it was chiefly on that ac-
count that he left in the midst Of the
crisis. He is not a strong man and
President Kruger may have taken ad-
vantage Of this. But, when l last saw
Mr.. Macrum he was patriotic and
loyal American. In regard to Blake's
so-called volunteers, they are like Mr.
Blake, mostly burghers who would have
been obliged to fight anyway. Mr.. Mac
rum told me there We're 5000 Americans
in the Transvaal, most Of whom the
United States was glad to get rid Of.
Pretoria, Canon Farmer added, was
provisioned for two years.

MEDICAL MEN MEET IN BOSTON.
Dr. Max MatIhouse Presides-Federa-
ton of Exm mining Bon rds.

Boston, Feb. Representative of
the Medical Examiningy board of the
New England states held a conference
at the state house this afternoon on
matters of mutual interest. Dr. Max
Mailhouse of New Haven, representing
the Connecticut Medical society, in the
state examining committee of Connecti-
cut presided. The discussion showed
that there was a strong sentiment in
favor of federation of the examining
boards of all the states interested, that
reciprocity in the licensing of medical
practitioners may be ultimately accom-
pished. To this end various subjects
were taken up such as uniformity of
method of conducting examinations,
uniformity of medical practice acts,
minimum studies for students, etc.
The following officers were elected:
President Max Mailhouse, Connecticut;
vice presidents, s. C. Forbes, Vermont;
S. H. Calderwood, Massachusetts,; II. p.

Il PURE FABRICATION.
British Consul at New Orleans De-
n0unces an Alleged Interview

nounces an Alleged Interview
Washington, Feb. 1.-The secretary of
state has sent to the senate committee
on foreign relations an assurance from
the British ambassador that the inter-
view attributed to Consul Van Stitttart
at New Orleans, rejecting upon public
officials of the United States, was not
authentic.T The correspondence consists
of two letters, both from the secretary
of state. The second letter from Sec
retary Hay was dated January 81 and
is as follows: II have to-day received
a visit from the British ambassador,
who has communicated to me letter
from Mr.. Van Stittart, saying that he
has given no interview to any reporter,
nor has he at any time used the Ian
guage imputed to him. He says the
interview is pure fabrication" The
alleged utterances of the British con-
sui caused Senator Mason to make
savage attack on him in the senate
recently.

WIN Not Interfere.

Washington, Feb. LIT may be stated
that the position of the administration
in it's decision to refrain from interven-
ton in Kentucky remains unshaken by
any of the events of the past twenty
four hours and in all likelihood the
happening which could induce the or
dering of troops into the state would
be an assault upon United States prop
erty or courts, or mails or interstate
commerce and even in such cases 1T is
positively declared on the highest mill
tary authority that the troops would
not be used to further any interest in
the state or to meddle in it's politics or
for any other purpose than the defense
of the United States interests.

M'GOVERN WHIPS SANTRY.


Chicago, Feb. 1.-Terry McGovern of
Brooklyn tonight proved his right to
the title of featherweight champion of
the world by knocking out Eddie San
try of Chicago, who claimed the leader
ship of the 1923 pound class by virtue of
a knockout of Ben Jordan of England.
The knockout came in the fifth round
after a fierce mix-up in which Santry
did some clever work. Terry, however,
was too strong for Santry and straight
ening him up with "a short arm jolt
to the stomach he landed left and right
to the jaw in quick succession and
Santry fell to the floor on his face. He
got UP at the count of ten, but was So
weak that Referee George Sier declar-
ed McGovern the winner to save Santry
from further punishment.

At the offices of Ex-Governor McCree-
ry, Louis McQuown and other promi-
nent attorneys to-day the question Of
Mr.. Taylor's legal right to adjourn the
legislature to meet in London was for
mally discussed. The unanimous opin
ion of the attorneys was announced by
Mr.. McCreery, who said: There is moth
ing in the constitution Of Kentucky to
authorize the governor, at this hour and
under existing circumstances, to ad
journ the general assembly. And every
lawyer that / have heard express an
opinion regards his proclamation as
gross usurpation. The constitution
fixes the date for the regular sessions,
and says its sessions shall be Held at
the seat of government. except in case
of war, insurrection or pestilence, when
it may, by proclamation by the COVER
nor, assemble for the time being else
where
"The general assembly is now In ses-
sion, and under the constitution can re-
main in session sixty days. Being in
regular session, the governor does not
have to convene the senators and repre-
sentatives and fix the place Of their
meeting, and there is no war, insurrec-
ton or pestilence; therefore he has no
right to adjourn the legislature"
Important legal action will be insti-
tuted against Governor Taylor to-mor-
row with the object Of compelling him
to give up his office and to prevent him
from interfering with the meeting Of the
legislature.
