JOHN W. FOSTER
APPROVES DECISION
The Supreme Courts Position is
Commended On Good
Grounds.

NEW YORK, June 6.-Ex-Secretary of
State John w. Foster, in discussing the
recent insular decision, says the Wasn-
ington correspondent of the Times, said:
II deem it fortunate that the court took
the position it did. Consider the Philip
pine situation. for instance The United
States now has possession of the archi-
pelago. Having the islands in our grasp,
it necessarily follows that we must gov
ern them. =
THE decision Of the court in the Porto
Rican cases clearly and unequivocally
delegated such authority to toLCongress. 1t
therefore settles the much-mooted point
as to whether Congress had the power to
regulate affairs in our new possessions.
For this reason, 1 say, the decision was
practical and sensible. 1t will be great
bulwark for those nov III power in the
future government of our territory in
the East. The exigencies of the situa-
ton demanded just such a decision as
was rendered"

THE NEGRO IN GEORGIA.
Congressman Livingstone Opposed to
Disfranchisement.

NEW YORK, June 6.-Congressman
Livingston of Georgia is quoted in spe-
cial from Washington to the Tribune as
saying that he does not believe in whole
sale disfranchisement as remedy for
the evils of negro suffrage. He said;
Il think the people Of Georgia are
against any disfranchisement amend
ments to our State constitution. We are
getting along nicely with the negro IN
Georgia The States which adopt the
amendments which have been already
adopted by Louisiana, Mississippi, North
and South Carolina, may see the time
when Congress will take the matter up
with a view to affecting the representa-
ton. This would bring turmoil and
strife and reopen the issues of the Civil
War
II do not think 1t Is best for the South
ern States TO adopt such constitutional
amendments The number of negroes in
our States is not so large as it was for
merly Very many of them are moving
away where agricultural conditions are
better than they are in Georgia"

THE HAWAIIAN EDUCATIONAL
EXHIBIT ARRIVES AT BUFFALO

BUFFALO, May 2S.-The Hawaiian
yesterday, and the work of installation
was begun by the Hawaiian commits
sioner, Miss Rose c. Dawson, and her
assistant Miss Mapuana Smith. The
exhibit when completed win be found
in the Government Building, adjoining
the exhibit made by the Department
of the Interior.
Miss Dawson is a native of Hawaii,
but would pass anywhere as d states
woman, born and bred. She is a young
woman of marked refinement and in
telligence. and impresses one with the
earnest interest she takes in her work.
She is the assistant secretary of the
Department of Public instruction OF
Hawaii Miss Smith is counted one of
the most able primary teachers in Ha-
wall
Hawaii has made brilliant record
in her schools, and with all her limita-
tions she entered the Union with an
excellent school system. which is be
ginning to be setf-supporting, as far as
teachers are concerned. instruction in
Hawaii is much the same as in Ameri-
ca although more attention is paid to
the manual training. The Hawaiian Is
naturally indolent, and while he found
his lack of capabilities along various
lines not especially depressing. the ad-
vent of the foreigner makes it incum-
bent upon the native to wake up to the
opportunities before him. This is fully
appreciated by the Department OF Pub
lie instruction. and every effort is be
ing made to train the young Hawaiian
to do something with his hands that
viii be of value to him. In the prin-
ary departments the pupil is taught
the usual studies that engage the
thought of American boys and girls
IN addition. both boys and girls are
taught to sew. carpentry, printing ana

NEW YORK, June ga special to the
World from Baltimore, Nd, gives some
extracts from the address of former

CANADIAN CEN SUS.
It Will Show Population Of Let's
Than 100000

NEW YORK, June ga special to the
Times from ottawa, Ont, says;
The official organs of the Government
are preparing the country for the disap-
pointment in store when the official GEN.
sus returns are made known. Instead of
the confident predictions of $1,000 and
over, the returns so far completed tnui-
cate less than 5.50O,000. According to the
estimates based on the statistics of the
British Isles, Canada's total should be
5,425,000. Estimates based on the last GEN.
sus of Canada, ten years back, yielded a
percentage a trifie higher. working out
$4,000 souls.
The evidence points to the shortage be-
tween the expected results and the fact,
as due to the steadily decreasing percent
age of births, which, in Ontario, is too
well established to be disputed, and the
continued emigration of Canadians to the
United States.

NEW YORK. June 6-The American
Museum of Natural History Is about to
send an expedition into China to study
the life and customs of the Chinese. and
to collect chronological specimens which
will be exhibited In this city. The work
will take at least three years, and will
be most thoroughly done. at the time
when China was the center of the worlds
interest the museum felt the lack of a
Chinese exhibit. A wealthy citizen of
this city heard of the museums needs In
this direction and has supplied the funds
necessary to carry on the work. His
name will not be made public at present.
The work will be along lines similar to
that now being carried ON by the mu-
scum in Siberia, Corea and other coun-
tries.
A feature of the expedition viii be a

end Dr. B. Laufer of this city will spend
a year in Buddhist temple near PeLng.

THE INDEMNITY ISSUE.
It Seems Not to Have Been Fully
Settled Yet.

PEKING, June 6.-The Ministers have
ceased TO hold meetings, while making
inquiries as to the desires OF their re-
spectIve Governments. The majority Of
the Ministers hold that Germany should
have told the Chinese that all the Pow
ers would agree to an indemnity OF 49,
600 600 taels at per cent interest They
also think that the withdrawal of Count

CONFERENCE AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, June tine Ambas-
sadors from most of the European coun-
tries were in conference with Secretary
Hay today, mainly because it was diplo-
matte day, which afforded an opportunity
for discussing the stage of the Chinese
negotiations. 1t is understood that the
middle ground, or modus vivendi, as it
is being referred to, concerning the form
of paying the indemnity, Is likely to be
settled by joint and several guaranty.
This will be in complete accord with the
American view that there should be no
joint guaranty, In the sense OF binding
each Government to securing the pay

Cailles Convicted.

MANILA, June 4.-Gueverra, adju-
tant to General Cailies, had a three
hours interview with Aguinaldo today.
He said that Cailles did not believe
that Aguinaldo had been captured,
and consequently issued proclamation
characterizing Aguinaldo's address to
the Filipino people as an American
trick. Aguinaldo, through Gueverra.
advised Cailles to surrender inmedi-
ately. After this interview General
Wade and General Sumner informed
Gueverra that Cailles must notify them
at Pagsanjan, not later than next
Monday, of his decision in the matter.
The American general declined to
guarantee that Cailles would not be
prosecuted.

to improve the written and spoken
English of the pupils.
Much that is especially interesting
in the educational exhibit is taken
from the manual training department.
The specimens of knife carving are
notably good and would do credit to
skilled mechanic in many instances. A
box of koa wood made at Waiahole
School in the district of Koolaupoko
Island of Oahu. by two boys, IA and IS
years old. shows the skill of the pupils
The box is a handsome piece of work
and is made without nails, the corners
being fitted so snugly as to hold the
box perfectly solid. On the top of the
box in inlaid letters of a darker wood
is the word Aloha" which in English
means greeting, welcome, love, good
night and several other things.
A perfect design of a Hawaiian
canoe whitfield out of the native wood
hau is another interesting specimen
of the manual training work. The pu-
pills are taught to make their own
yardsticks. and so careful and prof.
cient are they that the measures are as
accurate as Eastern factory make. The
brooms used in the homes are made OF
the stiff f1bres of cocoanut leaves, the
ffbres being fastened to- ether with
thongs made OF the bark of the hau
tree. a number of ropes are shown
which were made from the inner bark
Of the tree long before manila was
known to the Hawaiian. There are also
several exhibits from the school at
MoIokai. which is not given over en-
tirely to lepers. as seems to be the
States idea. The school is located near
the leper colony, which contained 1000
unfortunates.
In the schools the pupils Of Hawaiian
birth are predominating, with Purtu-
guese children a good second. The
greater number of teachers are OF Eng
disappearing people, American predom-
mating. although the training school is
fast bringing up the number of Ha-
waiian teachers.
