An Educational Circular

Superintendent of Education Abercrombie has issued the following circular letter to the teachers of tine state in regard to state institutes and the holding of the quarterly examinations:
 ''The idea seems to prevail in some coun- ties that the new examination law abol- ished the county board of education. This is an erroneous notion. The law creating the county board of education was repealed only in So far as it related to the examna- tion and certification of teachers. The county board still exists for the purpose of organizing and maintaining teachers insti tutes. CSee sections 35S3, 359O 3591, S592. S593 of the code of 1S96)
 "The law says that every teacher holding a certificate is a member of the institute, and not less than three meetings shall be held annually, one of which must be in the month of September. A greater number of meetings may be held. It is the duty of teachers to attend every meeting, and they should close school for that purpose if nec- essary. The time spent in institute should be counted in quarterly reports.
 "A failure upon the part of the teacher to perform his duty in the matter of attend ing institutes is cause for the cancellation of his certificate.
 ''CompGaints have reached this depart ment tlnait many teachers fail to attend the institutes reguladly-some do not att tend at all. If township trustees will re- fuse to make and county superimtendents refuse to approve contracts With such teachers, grounds for these complaints will soon cease to exist
 You wlll be requested at the end of each scholastic year to report to this de- paItmeut the number of institutes held and the names of those teachers who have not attended required by law. that the regulation concerning tine cancellation of certificates may be enforced. The Examination ''The state board of examiners have been greatly troubled by teachers giving and receiving assistance on the examination. In a number of instances two more ap- pLcants have submI tted answers exactly alike, word for word, sentence for sentence, paragraph for paragraph, mistake for mis- take. Excepting in giving definitions, this ds impossible in tine absence of communi- cation between applicants. Hereajlter it will be tine policy of the board of examiners to reject without explanation or investiga- tacn all applicants whose papers show un- mistakable evidence of fraud of this na- ture.
 ''Ine object of the law will be avoided unless county superintendents are dfiigent an the matter of preventing fraud in the examfna tion. The state pays them for this sery1ce, and they are expected to perform it faithfully and conscientiously"

ENLARGED POSTOFFICE.
Work Begun on the Addition to
the Present Cramped Quarters.

The addition to the present cramped
postoffice quarters has come at last The
excavation for the foundations was COM
menced yesterday morning and in two
months it is expected the new building
will be ready for occupancy. The con-
tract was let to William Dunbar the con-
tractor, whose bid was in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 The style of architecture
of the old building will be followed ex-
actly and the same class of material used.
The addition will be full two stories
in height and will extend from Bethel
street to the board walk which leads
from the Dimond 'aileyway to the postof-
flee area. All the space of land formerly
used as a stable and back yard to the
postoffice will be taken UP. While not
large, this will give needed elbow room
for the clerks. Two Urge entrances in
the mauka wall WI connect the old and
the new building, practically making the
two into one. No cellar excavation is to
be made, except the twenty inches re-
quired for air space. The contract was
let by the Interior Department.

a Runaway.

Early yesterday morning a horse at
tached to a hack owned by a Chinese
ran away on Punchbowl street and
crashed into hydrant at the corner of
Hotel street. The driver was hurled
out and badly hurt. The hack was con-
siderably damaged. People in the
neighborhood telephoned for the patrol
wagon but 1t failed to put in an ap-
pearance, so they assisted the Chinese,
bandaging his head and otherwise car
ing for his wounds.

BY Associated Press.
Washington, Feb. 27.-Attorney General
Nolan Of Montana was recalled in the
Clark case today to add to the infowna-
ton already given by him concerning the
Montana election laws. This he did, cit
ing all provisions of the state law bearing
on the subject. Nolan stated he had Civ
en- smaM sums of money to persons who
had gone over the state in search of tes-
tnnony in this case. The money had been
supplied by Campbell. He had aso pro-
cured $500 from CampbeM as a gift from
Daily for the editor OF an agricultural
newspaper in Helena.
Another item charged to HIM was 81, 600
which had been advanced to pay ex-
penses of witnesses in the Welcome dis
barment ceedings. This money had
been received from Campbell and most of
it advanced to the state treasurer to Sc
cure him for the payment Of these ex-
penses. Nolan said he had advised the
state treasurer to pay these expenses
upon the assurance that the expenditure
would be made good. Among others to
whom Nolnn's account showed he paid
expense money for collecting evidence in
the disbarmert case was the clerk of the
supseme court. Foster seized upon this
fact to put the witness through a pretty
severe sharp cross examination.

PRESIDENT SENDS
ANSWER TO THE
H0AR RESOLUTION

New York, Feb. 27.- A special to the
Herald from Washntoin says: President
Mckinley will send to the senate today
CTuesday) his answer to the Hoar resolu-
tion askin for practically all the informa-
ton in the possession of the government
relative to the Philippine islands not al
ready before that body.
Some reports from General Otis and
correspondence he has had with Aguin-
aldo will be new, though the officials say
they throw little light on the affairs of the
archipelago. This, it is stated, IS particu-
larry true with reference to the aid and
comfort the insurgents have received
from persons in the United States
In one of the reports made by General
Otis he asserts that after the destruction
of the Spanish fleet, "and undoubtedly
with the aid and consent of the agents of
the United States government" a small
band of men, natives OF Luzon, returned
to the vicinity of Manila.
''Ilhey were douptless encouraged by
citizens OF the United States and others
acting without authority" General Otis
declares, ito attempt the organization of
what they were pleased to denominate an
independent government for the Phifip-
pine people. they themselves became its
controlling element. Aguinaldo and his
assistants landed from American vessels
in Cavite, supplied by United States
agents with arms and ammunition in
small quantities for the purpose of rails
ing a native force to assist the American
troops to keep back from the shore of
Manila bay the scattered Spanish troops
giving annoyance in that vicinity
General Otis reports will also repeat
the cause of the beginning of the revolu-
tion. He will declare the insurgents did
everything in their power to bring on the
conil.ct On the night of February 4, "a
demonstration was made on one of our
smal outposts, which occupied a retired
position at least $50 yards within the line,
which had been mutually agred upon,"
he says "An insurgent approached the

challenged. The result was that ouc

One of the reports dated just before the
outbreak contains this statement: II am
of the opinion that some of our worst foes
are those of our own household. In in

Free Press, which the insurgents declare

Pratt. The better class of insurgents
nae complained of this article as it has
mad quite an exciting effect upon their
people. The active intermeddEing of other
consuis has also given US considerable
trouble"
The article which Consul Pratt is al
legged to have written speaks of the vacil-
lation of the president over the Philip
pines and the stupidity of the refusal Of
the United States to recognize the Fihp-
ino government.

he is doing and all are willing to follow
him in spite of his reverses."
The war office received the following
dispatch from Lord Roberts
"Paardeberg, Feb. Pill o'clock Tues
day morning.-From information fur
nished daily to me by the intelligence
department it became apparent that
Cronje's force was becoming more de-
pressed and that discomfort of the troops
and discord among the leaders were rap
idly increasing. This feeling was doubt
less accentuated by the disappointment
caused when the Boer reinforcements,
which tried to relieve Cronje, were de-
feated by our troops ON February %. I
resolved, therefore, to bring pressure to
bear upon the enemy Each night the
trenches were pushed forward toward
the enemy's laager, so as to gradually
contract his position. and at the same
time I bombarded it heavily with ar
tillery, which was yesterday materially
aided by the arrival of four 6-inch how
itzers, which had ordered up from De
Aar. In carrying out these measures the
captive balloon gave great assistance by
and movements of the enemy.

vance was made by the Canadian regi-
ments and some engineers supported by

This apparently clinched matters, for

Cronje in which he stated that he sur

In my reply told Cronje he must
present himself at my camp, and that
his forces must come out of their laager
after laying down their arms.

patched telegram to you announcing
the fact. In the course of conversation
he asked for kind treatment at our hands
