lllANCE MEETING
CIRCULAR LETTER BY THE EDU-
CATIONAL ALLIANCE.
TO MEET AT MADISON
The Organization OF Which Senator
Stout Is Chairman, Wishes to
Arouse Public Sentiment Along
Practical Lines-Education of
Unitarian Character.

The Wisconsin Educational alliance
mas sent out circular letter for a
meeting of educators at Madison, July
.. Inc purpose is to effect an organi-
zation, which will arouse public sem
ument in favor of manual training. do.
mesic sciences and the elements of ag-
rlculture. The letter follows:
TO the Friends of Education:-
Every one is interested in a general
way in the progress of education. Com
paratively few are interested so deeply
as to sacrifice time and ease for pro-
noting any definite educational pro-
ject
Hence the necessity for organiza-
ton and concerted action on the part
q those who realize that not only the
intellectual and moral growth of the
the next generation, but also the con-
tInued material prosperity OF our ma
ton depend upon the still greater per-
lection of our educational system. 1t
is evident that the highest advance
ment of the educational interests of
any community can be secured only
where there is an enlightened public
sentiment in favor of a rational sys-
TEN OF education. Far more can be
accomplished in this direction by the
cooperation Of those who are not i'm
| medlately engaged in the work of in
! struction with those who are so en-
| gagged, than by either class acting sep
arately. In order that the forces al
ready existing within the common
wealth may be properly organized for
the advancement of the educational in
| terests of the state, it has been pro-
| posed to form an educational alliance
whose membership shall include rep
resentatives of the teaching profession
and those who. though not directly
connected with teaching, are neverthe-
less keenly alive to the educational
problems of the present day.
TO arouse a public sentiment in ia
vor of manual training, domestic sci
ences and the elements of agriculture
as an integral part of the course of
study, and, if need be, to secure the
necessary legislation for the accom-
| plishment of this object have been
| suggested as legitimate ends for which
the alliance should work Immediately.
A melting for the purpose of perfecting
such an organization will be held in
Madison, Tuesday, July 8, at o'clock
p. m, in the office Of the superintend-
ent of public instruction. Feeling that
you are heartily in sympathy with the
purposes for which this organization
is being formed, we cordially invite
you to be present at the meeting If
you cannot be present, may we still
count upon your interest in and sup
| port of this movement?

apreciated.-J. H. Stout, chairman, Me-
nomonie; R. H. Halsey, Oshkosh; S. c.

NO PLANS MADE YET.
Bryan Talks Regarding the Coming
Campaign.

Lincoln, June 26.-W. J. Bryan re-
turned yesterday from his Wisconsin
fishing trip. He will remain in Lin
coin until after the democratic nation
al convention. He said he had been
placed in wrong position by some one
who had presumed to outline his plan
of campaign, and dictated the follow
ing: Any statements made by any
body in regard to campaign plans are
without foundation or authority No
plans have been made by me or by any
one for me, and no plans will be made
Till after the convention has been
held." Mr.. Bryan was asked whether
ne could say anything in regard to the
platform to be adopted at Kansas City.
He replied: Some idea can be OBJ
tanned as to the general tenor of the
platform from the platforms adopted
IN the state conventions. AS a large
majority Of the delegates have been
by conventions which have
re-anTmed the Chicago platform il is
safe TO assume the Kansas City plat
form will not be construed as a surren-
aer OF the platform IN the old issues.
1t IS equally certain there will be 4
strong definite plank against trusts
There is also no doubt the plank
against imperialism will be clear aud
explicit. Militarism will be Denounced

Beers IN A NET.
Orange River Colony and Forces Cut
Off From Transvaal.

London, June 23-General Steyn's
forces in the Orange river colony are
for the time drawing most Of the at
tention Of Roberts, rather to the neg
lect Of COmmandant General Botha
and President Kruger. The severance
between the Transvaal and Orange
river colony was completed yesterday
by the arrival Of Buffers advance
guard, under Lord Dundonald at Stan
derton. The wide net around six or
eight thousand men under General
Steyn will now contract. Adroit man
Ceuvering and brisk fighting are likely
to take place, because until all re-
ssistance south of the Vaal is at an
end, the British line Of communica-
lions will not be safe. Kruger's sons
who surrendered to Baden Powell are
back on their farms working peace
fully. Baden Powell rode with only
800 men from Mafeking, and made the
last section of his ride to Pretoria with
only So. Gen. Dewet's farm house has
been burned by the British.

BRITISH TROOPS CONyERGE.
Six Columns Closing in Upon the
Beers.

London, June 26.-Roberts' six col
umns are converging apparently so as
TO close in upon the Free Staters, al
though decisive results can not be eX-
pected for several days. A number of
beers who were supposed to be in the
wide flung net have broken. Or rather
stolen through General Rundle's Ficks-
burg-Senekals lines. The Canadians
were engaged in the Honing Spruit
fight last Friday. Gen. Dewets men
first cut off the Canadian outpost of
mounted rifles, at dawn, two being
killed. The Free Staters then attacked
the camp where there were fifty Cana
dams and two companies of Shrop-
shire,s though without much effect, as
the men were we'll entrenched. The
foreign attaches who were with Rob
erts are now in Capetown, en- route
