A BETTER SCHOOL SYSTEM
Views of the United States Commissioner
of Education.
Existing Methods He Does Not Criti-
else, but He Describes Those
Which He Prefers.

DR.. VIM. A. Harris, commissioner OF edu-
cation, had a conference with Senator
Stewart yesterday afternoon upon the re-
quest Of the latter in relation to systems OF
education, with special relation to that
question as 1t bears upon the public school
system OF this city. DR.. Harris did not
criticise or comment on the public schools
Of this city, except to say. judging from an
examination he made Of them several years
ago, they ranked among the five or six best
systems Of schools of the country. In the
last few years he had not Investigated
them.
FavOrs the Old Curriculum.
In reply to questions by Senator Stewart.
DR.. Harris talked on methods of education.
He was believer in the old curriculum
which involved the use of text books, and
said that he considered it necessary for
students to be accustomed to gaining
knowledge from the printed page in order
that they might the more readily continue
their education after leaving school Ac-
cording to some people the old methods are
merely methods of memoriZing a text book,
but the old method which he approved in
volved the learning of a lesson from a text
book by the child, who should be required
to explain in his own language what had
been learned
Amount of Home Study.
The child, he believed. should be
quired to prepare himself at home for reci-
tations, but there should be no home study
by child under twelve years of age. After
that age his home study should not be ex-
tended over two hours. He said the par
ents of children should not assist them in
the preparation of their lessons, and for
that reason the home studies should be of
kind that assistance would be needed.
Arithmetic should never be given for home
study
DR.. Harris will prepare data for the use of
the subcommittee in charge of the school
investigation, which he will submit to it
in the near future.

CHINESE LEADERS SLAIN
BY ORDER OF EMPRESS.


WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-The Japanese
legation has received n telegram dated
August q from the foreign office at To-
kyo. giving the following dispatch. receiv-
ed yesterday, from the Japanese consul
general at Shanghai:
"A dispatch received here from a Chi
nesc official at Paotingfu says that by
the empress dowager's orders Hsui Yung

pointed ommandcr-in-chief Of the wuwei
army while Princes Tuan and Chwang
and Tsong Chi. Rang VI and Psui Tung
have been ordered 10 remain Mt Peking.
Another telegram, dated the 18TH has
been received here from Paotingfu to the
shect that though the empress dowager
has left Peking. the emperor has decided
10 remain behind"

the same time as the casualty list Of the
Picking fight. II was dated the 18th, and.
therefore was not a reply to the message
Of inquiry sent TO Gen. Chaffee by the
war department on Monday night. SIN.
II answered number Of the inquiries con-
tanned in that message. It dealt entirely
with military operations and conditions.

tanned any bad news. and recorded the

in the assault on Peking. IL contained

Dereiict Empire.
II was hoped in official circles that when
Gen. Chaffee should be heard from he
would report that the work Of the Ameri-
can expeditionary force had been ac-
complished BY the rescue OF the ministers,
and that the blow struck at the Boxer In
surgents by the foreign column had dissi-
paied the reyoiutionists. and left China
with hands free to make her peace with
the civilized world. Instead of this, how
ever, Gen. chaffee had to report an utter
~ chaotic condition OF affairs. and the
capture Of capital whence all the heads
Of the government had fed. There was
nothing for the victors 10 do but 70 pre-
vent anarchy by administering on this
dereiict empire, which had fallen into their
hands, Therefore. the prospect opened by
Gen. Chaffee's dispatch Is that the Ameri-
can contingent, 81 necessity, VIII be de-
tanned In China for some time to come,
probably for the whole winter. This Will
necess.tate the hurried completion Of pre-
partitions that already have been begun TO
comfortably snbsist our army through the
severe winter weather which VIII soon
close in on Northern China.

AMERICA is DEFENDED.
German Press Indorses the Policy OF
the Washington Administrations.

BERLIN, Aug 22.-The semi-official
Berliner Post in a long leading article de-
tends the policy Of the United states IN
China against suspicious cast upon IL by
certain German papers that go upon the
theory that Washington Is pursuing sep
arnte aims After reciting the history
Of Secretary Hays success in getting
declarations from the powers in favor Of
the "open DOOR" the Post says that this
Is calculated to remove all false interpre-
tations OF American policy IL then goes
on TO say:
'.Those Americans are TO blame for this
mistrust of the policy Of the United
States who demand that President Nc
Kinley shall come forward as the protec-
tor of the Chinese empire and declare urbt
ct orb that the United States viii regard
as an unfriendly act any further seizure
of Chinese territory. thus establishing an
American protectorate over China.
The papers demand more earnestly than
ever the calling OF the Reichstag In

WILL WANT NEW TREATIES.
Portugal, Germany and Italy Fare
Poorly in Comparison With
France.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-The secre-
'1iqueurs,' "arrack," ''absinthe,'' etc.
which. under the commercial treaty with
France signed May 10, 1898, are admitted
into this country at q reduction in the
customs duty from s. % per proof gall
Ion to s1.75 are not entitled to the same,
or any privilege under the treaties re-
Gently negotiated with Portugal. Ger
many, and Italy.
The distinction arises from the fact
that while in the English version OF the
French treaty the 'cordials." liqueurs."
etc, do not appear on the memoranda
representations m}fde by this gov
eminent at the time the negotiations
were pending did expressly include
them. as did the French version of the
treaty itself, so that II is held by the
courts that they were intended TO be in
cluded.
On the other hand, the language of the
Portuguese, German and Italian treaties
which is the same In each, is construed
by the treasury department to be linn
tied by the provisions of paragraph $50
of the tariff act. which relates solely TO
brandies and other spirtuous liquors, as
distinguished from paragraph 292. relat-
ing to cordials, liqueurs, &c
The effect OF the ruling will be that
while France will have the benefit OF
the very material reduction OF the duties
on these articles the other countries
named will not be on any better foot
ing as relates to them than they were
previously. 1t. is probable. therefore,
that new treaties will have TO be nego-
tiated, which will put the other coun-
tries on the same footing with France.
