plications based upon the advices Of
their American correspondents have
naturally attracted a good deal of at
ing what basis there might be for these
criticisms an inquiry was today made in
an authoritative quarter with the fol-
lowing results;
THE comments of the London press
on the attitude of the United States in
the pending negotiations in China are
founded on complete misunderstand-
ing. So far from the government inter-
posing any obstacles to an agreement
among the powers at Pekin, Mr.. Conger
has been instructed frequently and in
urgent terms to do everything possible
to bring about a speedy agreement This
government took no part in the expeoi-
tion to Pao Ting Flu, but it made no pro-
test against it and has given no express
sion of opinion to the other powers as to
it's prOpriety. This government is in
agreement with the powers in demand
ing severe and adequate punishment Of
the principal wrong doers, Indemnity
for the past and security for the future.
1t does not, however, at this distance
presume to decide who are the most
guilty, what punishment must be infiict-
ed in each particular case and what
sentences are possible of execution.
These matters, as well as that Of in
demnity, are left to the negotiators on
the spot. 1t is to be presumed that they
viii not exact a reparation, either per-
sonal or pecuniary, which it would be
beyond the power of China to carry out.

SAVED MANY LIVES.
Report of Superintendent Kimba1 of
Life Saving Service.

Washington Nov 14.=S. J. Kimball,
general superintendent Of the life saw
ing service in his annual report to Sec
retary Gage says at the close of the rs
cal year the establishment embraced 269
stations, 1874 being on the Atlantic, DO
on the Iakcs{ 1e on the Pacific and one
at the falls Of the Ohio, at Louisville,
The number. of disasters to document
ed vessels within the field Of operations
of the service during the year was 36i.
There were on board those vessels 1855
persons, of whom 2,067 were saved and
As lost. Six hundred and seventy three
ship wrecked persons received succor at
the stations. to whom 1,44f days reheL
in the aggregate was afforded. The es-
timated value Of the vessels involved In
disaster was S6,127, 800, and of their car
goes $3,342, $50, making total value OF
property imperiled S9,47O,19O. OF this
amount, 81 ,234 $50 was saved and 81, $780,
500 lost.
The number of vessels lost was 81.
In addition to the foregoing there We're
during the year 329 casualties to small
craft, such as small yachts, sail boats,
row boats, etc, on board of which were
7S1 persons, of whom five were lost. The
property involved in these instances is
estimated at s267,O7o, Of which $256,17O
was saved and $4,000 lost.
Beside the number Of persons saved
from vessels of all kinds, there were 595
others rescued, who had fallen from
wharves, piers and other positions of
extreme peril, many of whom would
have perished but for the aid of the life
saving crews. Five hundred and four
teen Of these were rescued from dwell
ling houses, outbuildingS and other ele-
waited places submerged wholly or IN
part by the terrible flood of the Brazos
river in Texas, July to u, 1899. The
crews saved and assisted to save, dur
ing the year, 81 vessels valued with
their cargo and at S4.O06.590 and render
ed assistance of minor importance to 6S5
other vessels in distress. besides warn
ing from danger 194 vessels.
The investigation made into the de-
tails of every shipwreck, involving loss
OF life and in the conduct of the life say
ing crews, show that no life was lost
through lack of prompt and faithful ef-
forts on the part of the life saving men.
More than one-half of those that per
ished were lost by reason Of their uu-
wise attempts to reach the shore in
their own boats, instead of remaining
on board the wrecks. The cost of the
maintenance of the service during the
year was 81, 535, 1885,
The general superintendent calls at
tention to the justice and necessity Of
an increase in compensation of district
superintendeats, who it is believed are
the poorest paid servants of the govern
ment, considering the nature and extent
of their duties and their heavy financial
responsibility and he makes a strong
plea in their behalf

PORTO RICAN SCHOOLS.
But $4,000 Out of 100000 Children
Provided For

Washington, Nov. I'm. G. Brum-
baugh, commissioner of education for
Porto Rico, says the school system now
in operation there includes 800 teachers
and $4,000 pupils. This is only a beginr
ming, as there are 800 900 children OF
school age without school facilities, most
of whom would enroll II they could.
Commissioner Brumbaugh says the
hope of the island is in the public
schools and that the great illiteracy in
Porto Rico must be reduced. 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 leg
islature. for many reasons and a new
law passed. A change in the licensing
of teachers is needed to protect good
teachers from the pernicious interfer-
ence Of politicians"
The report urges closer supervision
and quotes DR.. Croft, formerly acting
commissioner, as saying that the super
visors Of the school were at first sold
iers, teachers. ex-packers and other
such men and they had to teach English
IN addition but now they are named as
qualified as the salary can command
and supervision requires their entire
time There are over 100 American
teachers 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 seekers after novelty and new ex-
periences, mere adventures, who ina-
posed upon the administration and the
children, and who used the salary and
position of teacher solely to see a new
country for a year and then return
Fortunately these are gone and the bet
ter teachers remain to carry on a really
neIp1ui ana arduous task. The people of
Porto Rico have patiently borne with
those adventurers, and quietly longed
for their departure
Thousands of children in this country
says the report, are half clothed, half
fed and half housed At least SO per
cent Of all the people are illiterate and
the crying need is schools to reduce the
appallIng iliteracy. There are no public
school buildings and no public colleges
or universities

IRRIGATION PROJECTS
For Which Congress Will Be Asked
to Appropriate Money.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Two important
subjects to be discussed by the irrigation
convention at Chicago next week and to
be urged on congress this session for ap-
preparation are projects for the irrigation
of the arid lands of the Milk River val
ley in Montana and for furnishing a big
reservoir plant for the Pima and Mari
cepa Indians in the Gila region in Ari-
zona- The first project is calculated to
st 81. COO 900 alt ther. A ady the sum
mits of the Rockies adjacent to the Can
adian border have been surveyed to as
certain the area tributary to this point of
diversion of water. 1t is stated that prob
ably half million acres of the arid
lands in the Milk river valley will be
reached if the project is executed. It is
proposed to build canal, beginning from
St. Marys river, carrying the water into
the north and subsequently the south
forks of Milk river and gut on the plains
to the east. Among other things, it is
claimed that the building up of agri
cultural country there VIII furnish feed to
winter cattle, that now frequently die by
the thousand in cold seasons. The Ma
ional irr cation congress will likely ask
appropriation of $250,000 to begin the
work.
In the Arizona project it is proposed to
build about 50 miles up the river beyond
the present reservation, rese~V ir c0st-
ing in the neighb rhood Of $1,500,o0 coo, which
will supply not only these once prosper
Gus but now distressed Indians. but as
well a large area of public lands calcu-
lated to pay the cost of the entire pro-
iect.

ARE IN HARMONY.
Will Be No Fight Between the Two
Big Baseball Leagues.

Chicago, Nov 14-The Record says:
The announcement of the capitalization
of the American leagues plan and the
establishment of a second major organi-
zation for next season arOuses unusual
interest in baseball centers. The fact
that the new position of the American
league would be taken without any
fight from the National league was en-
phasized by President Hart of the Chi
cago National league team.
Colonel Hart said he had received no
notice of the proposed joint meeting of
committees from the two leagues, which
is said to have been scheduled for Cleve-
land shortly after the coming American
league meeting on November 20, but he
said in his opinion the older organiza-
tion would do nothing to hinder the
progress of it's younger but prosperous
rival. He said the occupation of Balti-
more and Washington by the American
league and the establishment of a club
in Philadelphia would surely increase
the interest in baseball and benefit the
game generally.
Il have been back from the west hard
ly long enough to have acquainted my
self with the present condition Of base
ball affairs" said Mr. Hart, but I see
no reason why the two leagues could
not get along in harmony under the pro-
posed plans, provided care was taken to
see that conflicts in the schedules were
avoided, and this difficulty I believe
could be easily arranged

LIQUOR BY WAGON LOAD
JOintists Get Captured Supplies

ordinance, Otis Hungate, attorney for
the jointists, informed Chief Stah1 that
he would demand the liquor and para
phernalia that had been captured under
that ordinance
Yesterday Attorney Hungate secured
an order from Police Judge Magaw for
the liquor, and last night he sent two

There have not been many joint raids
under Chief Stahl, and all that he had
was at once turned over. Mr.. Hungate
also demanded the liquor that had been
captured during the time that John
Lucas was chief, but this was refused,
as Mr.. Lucas was held responsible per
sonally for the goods captured during
his term, and it could not be returned
to the jointists without an order to him
from the police judge.
Several of the jointists were on hand
to look over the liquor and fixtures in
order to be sure that nothing was over

TT is a unique testimony to the great
individuality of President Kruger that
his voyage to Europe is watched with
more intense interest by the continental
press than is the progress of the war in
China The daily calculations of the

indomitabIe Boer may say for his peo-
pie and against England, when he lands
at MarSe1lleS and the probable effect OF
this upon the attitude of European
powers and the military policy of the
British in the further prosecution of the
war
''An speculation agrees upon two
points. There are to be important reve-
latfons. In one well informed quarter
1t is asserted, that Mr.. Chamberlain win
