ONE OF WOMAN'S FAILINGS.
Her Reckless Disposal of Pins a Mat.
ter of Great Concern to n
Steamship Line.

Woman's proneness to stick a pin
wherever convenient has proved
serious matter to one steamship COM
pany, says the New York Sun. The
line decided some time ago to place the
most modern air-filed mattresses in.
the births of the best rooms on two of
its biggest ships. Recently the stew
ards were kept busy at the completion
of each trip with blowing up with air
dozens of mattresses that had col
lapsed from some unknown cause. 1t
took the officials of the lines some
hours to discover the cause of the fail
ure of the Mattresses to maintain their
proper condition. Hat pins, breast
pins, safety pins, stick pins, every
known kind of pin had done the mis-
chief
'One advantage of these mat
tresses," said the manufacturer, twas
that they were intended as life pre-
servers or small RATS should the
emergency arise. Give me a decent
sized hat pin if you want to see one
knock the ambition out of the average
life-preserver that depends upon air.
The women tourists simply stabbed
those mattresses to DEATH" -
The steamship company now has
this notice attached to the door of
every stateroom: "Please do not
stick pins in the berth cushions and
mattresses. Pins are injurious to
them"

CHINA YIELDS QUICKLY.
The Emperor InstruCts Ii and Ching to
Sign Joint Note.

Pekin (By Cable) THE plenipoten-
tiaries of China have been unexpect-
edly ordered to sign the preliminary
Joint note and have notified the foreign
ENJOYS to that effect.
The Chinese themselves were greatly
astonished at receiving the eImperial in
structions. Neither Ii Hung Chang
nor Prince Ching had expected success
In persuading the Court to yield in less
than 10 days.
The EmperOr's instructions are to
agree fully to the note, but to try to get
the best terms possible, particularly in
regard to limiting the number of lega-
ton guards, and also as to the places
where these are to be located. The
plenipotentiaries are instructed to try
to limit the number of army posts
along the railway between Pekin and
raRu to as few as possible, and finally
to request the powers not to destroy
the forts along the route, but merely
to disarm them.
LII Hung Changs health is bad, and
1t is doubtful whether he will be able
to do more than affiX his signature to
an instrument delegating his powers
to Prince Ching until another plenipo-
tentiary has been appointed. He was
dressed and carried in a chair to the
residence of Prince Ching, with whom
he held a long consultation. Prince
Ching then called upon the Doyen of
The diplomatic corps, the Spanish Min
ister, Senior de Cologan, and requested
nim to notify the other ENJOYS that in
structions had been received from the
emperor to sign the note.
The foreign communities in Pekin
are greatly pleased at the decided tone
If the joint note and the declaration
hat the powers are determined to en-
ertain no proposals for modification of
heir demands.

REPORT ON BOOZ CASE.
Court Expected to Censure West POini
Authorities.
NO REMOVALS ARE ANTICIPATED.
A Determined Effort to Break Up Fight
Ing Is Expected--BOOz's Physicians Were
Recalled IS The Censure of the Cour
VIII Probably Fall on Col. Mills and
Lleut..COl. Helm.

New York Especially D.-Recommenda-
tions in favor of the rigid enforcement
of discipline at the United States Mill
tary Academy at West Point will prob
ably be made by the military court OF
INQUIRY which has been inquiring into
the death from alleged hazing OF for
mer Cadet Oscar l.. BoOZ. 1t Is said
that the court will find that the system
OF fighting, of which Booz is alleged
to have been a victim, is the mainstay
of hazing at West Point.
The report, however, will probably
not 60 beyond the point Of censure
The removal Of any Of the authorities
is not likely to be requested.
One of the direct results of the In
duiry will be a determined effort to
stop the practice of calling OUT the
plebes to fight upper class men. The
censure Of the court will probably fall
on Colonel Mills, the superintendent,
and Lieutenant-Colonel Helm for al
lowing this state Of affairs to exist
until it resulted in physical weakening
and secret outrages upon cadets.
Whether hazing contributed toward
the lingering illness and ultimate
death Of young Booz has not been de-
termined beyond the realm of specula-
ton. There was a slight difference Of
opinion on this point among the mem
bers of the court
To obtain an agreement Dr. j. Cohen,
Of Philadelphia, and DR.. Willis p.
Weaver, OF BRISTOL Pa, were recalled
before the court after all the testimony
relating to the hazing Of Booz had been
taken at West Point. DR.. Weaver
treated Booz at the time of his death.
At the first hearing of the court he
declined to answer several important
questions. He subsequently testified
as an expert as to the connection be-
tween the hazing of Bo6z and the
tuberculosis of the throat and lungs,
from which Booz died. DR.. Cohen had
previously testified that there was an
old injury In Booz's throat and he was
second time closely questioned.

MILLIONS FOR EDUCATION.
States in Union Expended SlOzOOOOOO on
Schools During the Year.

Washington (SpeciaD The report
of the National Bureau of Education
contains some interesting statements
on public education.
Massachusetts, Nevada, California
and New York, in the order named
still lead the other States in the
amount of money spent per capita fol-
public education. The sparsely settled
condition of Nevada makes public
schools in that State expensive
Massachusetts is credited with spend
ing $5.07 per capita; Nevada, $496, and
New York, S403. South Carolina is
credited with 1896. However, the
growth of public education expendi-
lures in the South has been much
greater proportionately than in the
North.
In Delaware, Maryland, the District
Of Columbia, West Virginia and Flori-
la a decrease is shown in the number
Of public school children between the
ages of and 1S to each 1000 of popu-
alton, compared with 80 years ago. All
If the North Atlantic States show a
decrease.
During the last year the various
States expended $4,000, 900 for public
education. Thirty-three millions of
his went for buildings and permanent
plant, $128 900, 900 for salaries and the
balance for maintenance.

CLAIMS AGAINST CUBA.

1exities.


Washington (SpeciaD In view of
he declination of the United States to
consider Germany's claims, growing
)ut of the Cuban insurrection and the
operations of American troops in Cuba
Turing the war with Spain, 1t is ex-
)ected that European Governments
having claims against the island will
await American withdrawal and then
present them to the succeeding gov
ernment for settlement.
This is one of the questions in con-
aection with the foreign relations Of
Cuba which deeply affect the United
states, as, in case Cuba declines to sat
tsfy the claims, a European Govern
ment may adopt forcible measure for
their collection which would be ex-
remedy distasteful to this country. In
he interests of peace for the United
States and Cuba, Administration Off
Gals say, it is desirable that American
control of the foreign relations of the
Island should continue even after the
Cuba government enters into opera
