ing which will be capable of housing that
department for many years to come. His
predecessor. Mr.. Griggs, once thought

eral contemplates acquiring an entire
block in the center of the city and the
construction of building which will be

with a battalion" OF school teachers
for the Philippines, consisting OF 3o3
men and las women appointed from
every section OF the country. They
have enlisted for three years in the
corps OF teachers to instruct the Fill

many OF her colonies where the natives
are chiefly OF the dusly race but this is
the first time such an expedition has
been sent across the waters by the
United States. The transportation is
borne by the government and takes to
the Philippines what may prove a
strong factor in the civilization of the
country.
Educational matters in the islands are
in charge of Professor Atkinson. who
has made some appointments at Manila,
but the large majority of the teachers
are sent from this country. Their sal
aries will range from SIS to SIPS a
month, and the cost Of transportation
will average $500 each. They are ex-
pected to sign contracts to remain in
the service three years.

Russians Are Alarmed.

The Russian retaliatory duties on
American fat tcning machinery has al
most entirely stepped the importation
OF this class OF goods at Moscow, ac-
cording to report received at the State
Department from Deputy Consul-Gen-
eral Hanauer at Frankfort, Germany.
According to Russian correspondence
published in German papers, wholesale
firms in Moscow recently inquired Of
the American consul at that point as to
why the importation of these articles
had al most entirely ceased, and he
promptly told them that the enhanced
Russian duty was the cause.
The Moscow district annually exports
goods to the value OF 81, I2o. 900 to the
United States, mainly wool, hides, pelts
and some manufactured articles, but the
Moscow merchants fear that in conse-
quence OF the tariff differences between
the two governments the exports from
their district will be greatly reduced this

although they had been in mutny for fourteen
days the code provided for doubling up OF Gay 5

The court was made up IF Sir Percy Sanderson
the British ConsuI-General; Captain E J. Smith Of
the White Star steamship Majestic and Captain

What is your defence? First, that you thought
the vessel was badly damaged that she would
not pass Cape Hatteras in safety
This cannot be accepted. for in order 70 reach
Norfolk where you wanted 90. she would have

There has been throughout manifest erdeaVor
