There are rumors of impending
cabinet changes, Notwithstanding the
invitation of president Mckinley to
all members of his official family to
remain with him after March 4
Secretary Hay and Secretary Gage
are both stirred up over what they
call a vote expressing lack of conf
dence in their official recommends
tons. Secretary Hay is said to have
notified the president that he cannot
continue in the cabinet if the senate
rejects or amends the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty. Mr.. Hay negotiated
this treaty. acting alone for the
United States government, and he
considers the objection to it a rehec-
ton on his official acts as secretary
of state. He would consider a re-
fusal to ratify the treaty, or its "a
mend'nent in way to nullify his
neutrality clause, as the opposition
of vote of confidence in his admin
lstration. The disapproval is the
more pronounced because it comes
from the republican leaders of the
senate.

Foreign immigration.

Washington, Dec. S.-The annual
report of the commissioner general
of immigration shows that during the
last fiscal year the total number OF
immigrants who arrived in this
country was 448,572, of which 23,200
came through Canada. Of the whole
number 304, 14S were male and l44,.
424 were females This is a net in
crease over 1899 of 136,S27.
These figures, however, the con-
missioner general says, do not show
the total number of alien arrivals,
as 65, ,635 aliens came as cabin pas
sengers. They would have swelled
the total immigration to 5l4,207 had
they travelled in the steerage.
The figures show that of the
whole number of arrivals 424, 700
came from European countries, IL
946 from Asia, 30 from Africa and
1896 from all other places.
Switzerland and Spain and the
Spanish islands show small de-
crease in immigration, while Austria
Hungary shows an increase of S3 per
cent, the Russian empire and Fin
land 40 per cent increase, Italy 20
per cent increase, and Japan "a per
cent increase. The total arrivals
from Japan, however, amounted to

TEACHERS INsTITU TIE.

Superintendent E. A. Carleton has
instructed Miss Craven to hold a
teachers institute regardless Of the
action of the trustees of Great Falls,
Neihart, Belt and Sand Coulee. It
seems that il the trustees stand firm
ly against allowing the teachers time
to attend the institute that there will
be an institute held with Miss Cra-
ven in charge and no teachers. OF
course we suppose Miss Craven will
have to call the institute to order and
go through the program, because
Carleton says she must hold one.
There ought to be at least one or two
teachers present to help Miss Craven
out of such an embarrassing situation,
and possibly out of the country dis
tricts which compose about one sixth
of the teachers, there may be some
in attendance, but possibly on ac-
count of the action of the larger
schools there may be no attendance.
Talk about Montana laws, this takes
the lead We are sorry for Miss
Craven and if no one attends, we
will volunteer to be on hand to help
her out
We quote Attorney General No
lan's decision in part as follows:
| am brought to the following
conclusions: That nothing will re
lieve the county superintendent from
the duty in every county in whidh
there are five or more school districts
from holding one teachers institute
in every year, and it is undoubtedly
the policy of our law that every
teacher employed in the public
schools should attend the institute
and participate in its proceedings
However, if the trustees should re
fuse to give their sanction to the
closing of schools during such insti-
tute, the teacher would have legal
excuse for not attending the same,
for the reason that her authority to
close her school during such insti
tute, and attend tho same, is made
dependent upon the permission of
the trustees of the school. 1t would
see to me, however that school
trustees would generally bear in
mind that the county superintend-
ent is given under the law the gen
eral supervision of the public schools
in her county, and the law prescribes
as part Of the duty of the trustees
that they should enforce the rules
and regulations of the superintend-
ent Of public instruction for the
government of schools, pupils and
teacher. This being true, it would
seem that these officers would as far
as possible endeavor to carry ont the
policy of the school law and the
orders of the county superintendent" T"
Later:-The Cascade County
Teachers Institute is scheduled to
be held in this city next week, but
the Tribune is able to state authori-
tatively that there will not be any
Institute next week or at any time
this month or prior to January 8;
and in all probability there will not
be any after January 3, until next
fall. The school boards which have
refused to permit their teachers tc
attend the institute will not recede
from their position, and there will be
no institute for other teachers to at

Silver for the Filipino.

Washington, Dec. THE cabine ;
meeting today was largely devoted
to discussion of the question Of
coinage for the Philippine islsnds,
and as result it is probable that the
secretary Of war will ask hearing
on the subject before one of the
committees of congress.
Nearly all the business of the
islands is transacted in Mexican
dollars and army commissaries and
others supplied with United States
money are at times greatly embar
assed in making purchases from the
Filipinos by the fact that, knowing
nothing of our money and it's value,
the latter often refuse to accept it.
The Philippine coinage plan which
seems to have met with favor by the
administration is to purchase silver
bullion at the present market price
and coin it into dollars having a gold
value of about fifty cents each.
These dollars probably will contain
a little less silver than the present
standard dollars.
The scheme has not yet been
worked out in all of its details, but
as there is at present a government
coinage mint in Manila, it is hoped
that by the early action of congress
the new CONS may be put into cir
culation before a great while, posi-
bly, before the war is over.
Thi cabinet also discussed the
house bill revising the war revenue
act, which proposed to cut off about
$40, 5000 in revenues.
There is no difference of opinion
among the members of the admins
tration on this subject, all thinking
that the cut is too deep, and agree
ing that it would be unwise in the
extreme, to make the cut greater
than $3O,OO0,0OO.
The Townsite company, through
| the kind efforts of Mr.. Andrew Rim
ker, has given to Mrs. R. S. Ford
aud Mrs. III. O. Chowen, for library
purposes, the lot at the east side of
the Valeria public library, on the
corner of Second avenue north and
Third street. 1t was greatly through
these ladies' endeavors that the lot
was turned over to them, and, al
though the lot will in time be used
by the public, it will remain in the
control Of Mrs. Ford and Mrs
Chowen. The proposed addition to
the library will be built upon the lot
now partly occupied by the present
library, and the new acquisition will
be reserved for future needs, when
the city has acquired such popula-
ton as will justify it in constructing
much larger and more thoroughly
equipped library building.-Leader
