EDUCATION IN PORTO RICO.
Com missioner BrumbauEh Urgei

Com m issiOner BrumbauEh Urges
100000 Appropriation for Ten Years.
E. NJ. Brumbaugh, commissioner Of edu-
cation for Porto Rico, in his annual report
says the 1000 schools there, good as they
are, cannot successfully cope with the ire
mendous illiteracy and the vast army OF
children in need Of education in Porto Rico
There were $4,000 children in school this
year and the enrolment next year will be
so 600. A large normal school has just been
opened at Rio Piedras to meet part Of the
demand for teachers. An annual appro-
priation by Congress Of not less than $780,
600 per annum for ten years is urged. This
the report says would equip the island with
proper school facilities for 10000 additional
pupils. which with the present enrolment
would make above GO per cent of the school
population of the island.
The salary Of an American teacher was
fixed by military law. and is far from just
or adequate In cities of less than 5000
population the salary is fixed at $40 a month
for a period Of nine months while in cities
of 5000 population they draw $50
Regarding the work of the little Porto
is the fact that they are unusually noisy in
study, caused by their having been trained
under the old Spanish conditions, which
forced them to study aloud. Gradually the
noise of study Is lessening under the SUPER
vision of the Americans.
Commissioner Brumbaugh says that the
fidelity and dispatch with which those en-
ployed under his supervision have worked
during the fiscal year has created whole
some respect for the educational officers
and has proven most valuable object les
son to the people of the island.

Asthma and Consumption Cured.

Thousands of physicians admit the truth and
heartily indorse the new discovery OF the Drs.
Koch They have for years studied night and day
perfectng his wonderful treatment for the cure of
these diseases. The above Koch Inhalation is the
most wonderful cure for lung diseases.
The doctors who treat this disease at their In
stitutIons have for a lifetime made a deep and
searching study OF all lung diseases, including Ca
tarrh, Asthma and Bronchitis, and thousands of
patients who have been given up incurable are
today living monuments Of their success.
The old method Of injecting the tuberculine medi-
cine is little used now. but by the use of this
germ-destroying medicine tuberculine, combined
with healing oils, which are thrown into oily va
pors. the lungs healed. These vapors can be
breathed into the air tubes of the diseased lungs
and they easily cured. The effect Is wonder
full it heals up the places, kills the poisonous
germs and gives life to patients having lung
diseases. The Washington offices at 627 f
street NV. The latest Worlds Congress Of Physi-
cians which met in London last July, indorses DIR.
Koch's new treatment, and today 1t stands alone

tion-which sends its thousands upon thousands to
utimely graves, especially in such a changeable
climate as Washington.

WALKED AROUND THE WORLD.
Interview With a Man Who Has just
Completed the Long Trip.
From the London Chronicle.

Completed the Long TIP.
From the London Chronicle.
Mr.. Beresford Greathead, who has arriv-
ed at Southampton, has just concluded g
remarkable journey. Interviewed recently
by our correspondent, he said that in 1879
two clubs in Vancouver-the Union and the
Vancouver-wagered $4,000 on the point
whether a man would walk round the world
In five years, leaving without any money or
luggage, and depending entirely upon mis-
own exertions. Four men were found will
ing to enter upon the task.
Mr. Beresford Greathead, who was select
ed said that he started in August, 1895.
The Allan Line gave him a passage to Eng
land. He walked from Liverpool to Lon
DON thence to John O. Groats and from
there to Lands End. By way Of the south
coast he reached London again, and went
over to Ostend. He passed through Bruges,
where he was formerly at school, ana met
some Of his old school chums. Then Mr..
Greathead visited Holland, Switzerland,
Italy, Austria and Roumania- He passed
through Odessa, and eventually arrived in
Manchuria. When he got there the war was
on. He was taken prisoner, and detained
for two months, when he escaped.
Mr. Greatheads intention had been to go
on to Vladivostock, thence to Japan and
back to Vancouver, but owing to the Chl-
nese trouble he had to retrace his steps. He
came on TO SOutnndInploH lIoh f1dNio vi
Saturday He explains that he was arrest
ed as a spy many times, and had to go into
hospital once, which circumstances added
to the Imprisonment in Manchuria, make
up a total of unavoidable detentions for
which he claims to receive credit. He con-
tends that if he is given credit accordingly
he has won the wager. Mr.. Greathead mas
lectured in many towns which he visited,
and so obtained money for food and clothes,
but for the most part he has had to rely on
the good nature of those among whom he
has travelled.
Asked if he could produce signed testi-
mony of his having visited the countries
named. Mr.. Greathead said that the books
had to be collected. He had left some at
different stages of the journey. This re-
markable globe trotter gives his age as
thirty-nine, and says he is native of
Ha mnShire

MIR. KIMBALL'S REPORT.


Twenty-Five Years.
The annual report of the general superin-
tendent of the life saving service for the
year 1901 shows the smallest loss of life
from documented vessels suffering disaster
since the general extension of the service,
and also with respect to vessels of all
classes, including the undocumented, with
the exception Of the years 1880, 1882, 1885
and 1888. The average number of lives lost
annually during the entire period twenty
five years. was 81, one life having been lost
in every thirteen casualties, while the num-
Der lost during the past year was IT, or
one in every 45 casualties. From docu-
mented vessels alone the number lost was
only lone to every "a casualties. The
number Of casualties to documented vessels
was 377. There were on board these yes
sells 2,S4S persons. The estimated value Of
the vessels involved in disaster was s., 263, =
400 and of their cargoeS 5000, $50. OF this
amount $6405, O35 was saved and s94S985
lost The number of vessels totally lost
was 49,
In addition to the foregoing there were
during the year 1893 casualties to small
craft Fundamentally, on board of which
were 927 persons of whom 10 were lost.
The crews saved or assisted to save 422
vessels, valued, with their cargoes, at
s3,139.610. and rendered assistance of minor
Importance to 54S other vessels in distress,
peSiueS warning from udHSeT Ao1 Vessels.
The cost of the maintenance Of the service
was 81, 640,013.74.
The general superintendent again urgently
calls attention to the inadequate compensa-
ton Of district superintendent whom he
believes to be the poorest paid officers under
the government, considering the serious
and exacting nature of their duties and the
extent Of their fiscal responsibilities. Their
salaries range from 81, 800 to 81 800 per an
mum, and they are required to furnish bonds
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000 in amount.
He recommends that their pay be raised to
81 500 year.

proposed tariff bill What has heretofore
been performed under the surface, namely.
the rejection of American meats, canned
goods and other articles at the frontier
stations and excessive tariffs by cleverly
managed cIassifications, will now be at
tempted in the open.
Sentiment for Retaliation.
eff the United States exacts from us a
toll of 81 cents on every dollars worth
of German goods sent to that country,
have we not the right to apply an equally
high duty on American goods exclaimed
DR.. Wendlandt, secretary of the Central
Association of Industries in this city, at its
recent convention. Doubtless it is that the
United States will be handled without
gloves if the agrarians have their way
at the next session. When it is recalled
that the agrarians were powerful enough
to balk even the will of the emperor last
spring by breaking up the session without
enacting the kaiSerS canal bill 1t seems
rather clear that the warnings of the con-
servatives will not be needed. The bun
desrath has already passed upon the tariff
bill and will hand it over to the popular as
sembly with little or no change.
The visit of the German crown prince to
the United States to bring over the yacht
now being constructed for him is one of
William lis diplomatic moves. That he is
a clever diplomat none of his critics Will
deny. The kaiser is well enough informed
to realize that tariff warfare between
Germany and the United States would in
the end cause more damage to his own sub
jects than the United States exporters.
Consequently the energies of the govern
ment may be counted on in favor of a
tariff policy which will permit the negotfa-
ton Of reciprocity treaties with the United
States. as well as the remaining countries
which were parties to the Caprivi conven-
ton of 1893. But it is an open question
