POSITIONS OF TEACHERS.
Declaration of the Board of Educa-
ton on This Subject.


Much satisfaction is expressed by the
teachers in the pubic schools because OF
the declaration Of policy made at the last
meeting of the board of education that
the appointments of teachers were for one
year and that no change would be made
except for cause. There has been some
apprehension felt by the teaching force In
regard to the tenure of their offices. which
has been entirely allGyed by the announces
ment that no change would be madc IN
the course that has heretofore obtained in
the schools, namely, the yearly appointment
of teachers.
In the opinion Of some It is not surprising
that there has been an uneasy feeling, for
the reason that the law establishing the
board OF education gives full authority to
make complete change IN the personnel
Of the employees in the public school serv-
ice. 1t is said that 1t was not the inten-
ton OF the trainers of the new school
board law that such power should be
exercised to further extent than might
be found necessary to make the altera-
tons in the methods Of teaching aimed at
in the recent legislation. 1t was never SUPP
posed that the Inauguration Of the new
policy would require sweeping dismissals
Of teachers, as they were In no wise re-
sponsible for the course OF instruction, SIM
ply carrying out the orders OF their sd.
periors and teaching the studies as they
were directed.
1t was thought by the trainers of the law
that all needed amendments in the public
school system could be made by e change
in the directing influences without affect
ing the rank and file OF the teachers. II 10
believed that this has been accomplle he'd
by the appointment which has already beep
made by the board of the superintendent OF
the schools and the assistant superinterf-
dents and supervising principals. AS has
been stated IN The Star the teachers
who served in the schools last year have
been confirmed for duty during the coming
year, and will continue in their places un-
der the new regime.

THE CHINESE PUZZLE.
The Forecast of u Chinese Merchant
Resident in HOatOn.

Mr. Klung Wun of Boston, one of the
principal Chinese merchants in the United
States, and one of the officers of the
wealthy Chinese companies in San Fran
cisco. has this to say of the present situa-
ton in China and its probable outcome:
THE papers of the United States are
wrong when in editorials they say of
China, The end has come God would
be merciful If 1t were the end. The Chris
tian nations have entered into the field and
must reap the harvest. The Chinese dem
agogues have melted the people. who in
turn have followed them. The leaders will
die on battlefields and in the execution
places. The people who must bear the
brunt will suffer more than in the TAPPING
rebellion, the Mohammedan rebellion or the
great famine ending in 1878. l believe that
foreign machine guns, their fighting
against each other already begun and the
famine resultant upon war will slay them
continually. 1t is not unwise to place the
| minimum at five million lives One for
eigner for every twenty Chinese will be
killed.
The Chinese mind and the Christian
mind are two different things The Chris
tian mind loves the new-loves the country
is impatient, is unvenerating, is accurate
and unbelieving. The Chinese mind loves
| the old, does not care what is the dynasty,
| is patient, is proud and satisfied with the
| fathers, judges by circumstances, not rules
and knows of the gods and the little gods
THE two can never understand each
other Education in Europe has never
made one of our Chinese young men Eu-
ropean in character; Christian conversion
| never makes them American in character
| The old does not change under the two
your greatest influences. The iron rule by
| the military method will permit the in
| coming of civilized technical knowledge, of
manufactures and arts. and then the day
| will come in the next generation when they
will turn their new powers you have given
| them against you.
China will be still China If the nations
| are wise and just and her own people will
rule her. The people are all willing to
know the new things, but wish to retain
4 the old. 1t is not the things of the for
| eigners they hate; it is the foreigner him.

he does not. The people believe in Ii Hung
Changes great light, the literary people
follow Kwong-yuuy and the reformers and
they know the emperor would give them
good things
Let the nations obtain part control of
north China, the viceroys and yamen will
govern the middle kingdom and south,
then make a new dynasty, or put new
man at the head. He must be a soldier,
diplomat, statesman and a scholar in
European and Chinese He must be the
greatest man in alf China The yamen
must be kept up everywhere by Chinese
officers. That much is good and can be
done.
Now money must be had for new ships,
new forts, new schools, new railways and
all that There must not be increased di-
rect tax, rather less. The people will do
anything for a system which will make
taxes less, the bikes safer, the robbers
fewer and food more plentiful. The va
men robs the people and robs the emperor
now. Their robberies will make up the
money with a tax on commerce. Then,
this must not come at first. the incoming
and grabbing of foreign companies, for
they will destroy Chinese factories and
trade. They take money away from China.
"Kwong-yowe is in Singapore. He is a
good man and great man. If he is SOL
der as strong as Ii Hung Chang he is the
best man to rule. The Manchu people will
follow the princes, and the ruffians and
soldiers. as well as hundreds Of thousands
of others, will follow them. These must be
conquered and scattered without arms. for
they would go to the west and return very
strong. and maybe fight each other as well
as foreigners. However 1t is. We will suf-
fer commercially in the United States
many millions of dollars. China will lose
many million people, and the largest armies
since the great American war will be need
ed. There is no other way. But It will
not end China, for even If one hundred
millions were killed the race is too strong
and too great-you do not know how great
It will rise like the sown dragons teeth.
There should be wisdom and the dragons
teeth sown be few as possible, or fifty
years will see awful things on this earth. -

THE NEW PROTECTED CRUISERS
Important Features Agreed Upon nv
Naval 5OHiciaIs

The important features of the new pro-
tected cruisers. authorized by the last Con-
gress were agreed upon at a meeting of
the board of naval chiefs yesterday 1t was
determined that the boats shall have TWEEN
ty-two knots speed. not exceeding q 800
tons displacement, with a capacity for car
rying 1.5o0 tons of coal, and batteries con-
sisting OF sixteen six-inch rapid-fire guns.
The twenty-two-knot speed was accented
with some regret by two of the members
of the board, who hoped for twentv-three
knots. foreign builders having adopted
that test rate. But the speed provided for
is as great as compatible with the tonnage
determined upon. The coal capacity is con-
sidered very good. The battery of sixteen
sx-inch guns is the most notable feature
of the new ships, as this gives single TYNE
of gun instead of diversity of guns in prf-
mary and secondary batteries, and makes
practically circle Of these quick-fire big
guns. enveloping the ships. Some features
of the armor are yet to be settled.

Will There be an Appeal !?

St Paul, Miun, December o.
A suit involving several millions OF
dollars, the value Of the telegraph
lines along the route of the Great
Northern Railway, from ST Paul to
the Pacific coast, was decided late
this afternoon by Judge Lochren in
the United States District Court in
favor of the defendant, the Western
Union Telegraph Company Its
importance, however, was not alone
in the amount of money involved.
for it was the general understanding
that should the railway company
have won all the great railway sys-
tenn of the country would, at the
expiration of their contracts with the
Western Union Telegraph Company
have claimed the ownership of the
telegraph lines along their right OF
way. and either have operated them
independly or have formed con
solidatioD, which would hrve been
strong competitor in the egraphlc
field
