AS the building stands detached, what is
known as face brick is used in the side and

windows are filled with plate glass. Oak is
used for the interior finish. Plumbing,

The colored people of the city are looking
forward to the opening of this school with
great interest. The work is to be very
practical in its nature and is designed to
fit the pupils for some useful calling. In
choosing the course of instruction consid-
Grafton has been given to the opportunities
generally offered to young coiored men and
women for employment, and emphasizes the
training in those branches which will af-
ford a means of livelihood in the future.
AS an Indication of the popularity of this
feature of school work. it may be stated
that of the 240 pupils who propose to enter
the school more than one-half are laying
special emphasis on the work in cooking,
laundry, dreSsmaking, steam engineering,
blacksmithing and carpenter work.

REPORTS APPROVED.
Contractor Held Responsible for Set
Ting of Curb and Paving.

Engineer Commissioner Beach has ap-
proved the reports OF the sewer division
holding Contractor p. d. Vinson, contrac-
tor for the sewer in L street between 10th
and Goth streets northwest, responsible for
the settling of curb and paving along the
line of the sewer trench. Mr.. Vinson some
time ago protested against being charged
with the expense of repairing this damage
He said that his trench was carefully
braeed and that the settlement of the
pavement could not have been due to the
causes ascribed. but must nave been caused
by the presence of The old brick sewer

signed by the cadet, form a contract with
the school which makes this feature of
school life as binding as any of the re-
quirements for study. For fully one-half
the regiment these signatures are those of
first-year boys. This statement will give
some idea OF the problem which falls on
the officers and military instructor. Col.
Burton R. Ross, not only this year. but
every year-the problem of making out of
so large a proportion Of raw material a
regiment which by May shall stand against
the most eXacting ideals of cadet perform
ance.
There have been a number of changes in
the form of organization by reason of new
conditions within the High School, At the
present time the technical school is housed
within the Central High School building,
with its two hundred boys taking the new
course. BY the act of the board of educa-
tion this school is permitted to identify
itself with the High School Regiment un-
der the same conditions of control and
management that obtain in the high
schools. Companies c and D, with sixty
men each, have been organized under the
officers of the technical school. These, with
Companies and 3, from the Central
School, form the first battalion, under
Major Winter of the Central School.
Change in Organizations.
For many years the Eastern High School
has maintained two companies which have,
with great credit represented Capitol Hill
in the annual contest. Naturally it is a
matter Of great regret that the number of
boys in school made it impossible to secure
a sufficient number of enlistments to con-
tinue two companies as heretofore Every

Joseph Chamberlain Announces New
Rules for the Commons.
dispatch from Edinburgh last night
says: Joseph Chamberlain. the colonial sec
retary, addressing more than 5000 per-
sons in Waverley Market, Edinburgh. to-
night, announced that the government in
tended to frame new rules for the house of
commons so as to limit Irish obstruction.
I'VE propose" said he. ito bring forward
rules which shall give to the majority of
the commons greater control over its own
business and greater control over the men
who insult and outrage it; and we shall en-
deayor to protect the mother of parliaments
from those who would destroy her useful
ness and reputation
But this was not the only thing Mr..
Chamberlain declared the government in
tended to do.
''The present representation of Ireland"
said he, SIS an abuse and scandal. No al
teration can be made except in immediate
anticipation of a general dissolution of par
lament, and we are not contemplating that
But when we get nearer to the time We
shall ask you whether you think Irish rep
resentation is so precious to you, Is so val
uable to the national interests, that 1t is
desirable to continue 1t on a scale which
gives the Irish a representation enormously
exceeding the proportionate representation
of Scotland and England"
The colonial secretary went on to say
that on the basis of population ireland had
thirty members too many in the commons,
and on the basis of her contributions for
imperial purposes, as considered at the
time of the union, she had from forty to
fifty members too many.
II say that this constitutes an abuse, %
he continued. land there is no reason why
1t should be perpetuated."
In another part of the speech he said:
'If those gentlemen who now openly
shout for the Mahdi and pray for the Beers;
IL they had parliament of their own; IL
ali the strings of Irish government had
been In their hands; If they had had the
power. is 1t not certain that they would
have refused to pay their contribution to
the war and that they would have placed
us In q position OF embarrassment
The relations OF the parliamentary oppo-
sition with the Irish party. Mr.. Chamber
lain said, would be considered dangerous
to the empire
In reviewing the war In South Africa,
which he declared had been forced upon
Great Britain by the Beers, he said the gov
ernment acknowledged that 1t had made

and that he admired the tenacity Of the

Administration Reciprocity.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The administration Is republican. Pro-
lection is cardinal principle of republi-
canism. Reciprocity is a provision of the
Dingley tariff act, it was of the McKin-
ley. 1t is not hostile to the spirit of those
laws, but in harmony with them. The re-
publican platforms indorse 1t, if applied
without detriment to domestic manufacture
or home labor. Mckinley favored it the
day before he was shot, not as new light,
but a ray steadily visible for ten years.
Nor was 1t the distorted beam of free trade
in Cobdenish tone.
Let US analyze it as presented by Cur
martyred President. BY sensible trade
arrangements which will not interrupt our
home production we shall extend the out
lets of our increasing surplus" I'VE should
take from customers such of their
products as we can use without harm to
our industries and labor" Reciprocity is
the natural outgrowth of our wonderful in
dustrial development under the domestic
policy now firmly established THE ex-
cess (our surpluS) must be relieved through
a foreign outlet, and We should sell every
where we can and buy wherever the buy
ing will enlarge our sales and productions,
and thereby make a demand for home la
bor" Every sentence guards against any
fear of liability of injury to domestic in
dustries and labor. Every word is in har-
mony with the spirit Of hts life teaching
Now free traders, foreigners and un-
American Americans seek to undermine our
Industrial system by a reciprocity that will
be fatal to our industries The law-mak-
ing power is also in part the treaty-making
power, and If it finds Injurious free trade
labeled reciprocity" 1t should excise it
promptly, or failing In that, prevent rati-
fication Here is where the scrutiny of wis.,
dom should come in to make every pro-
posed treaty of reciprocity harmless. A
treaty made by a single commissioner on
each side, dealing with complicated and in
tricate tariff systems, should not be ratified
without scrutiny simply because 1t bears
the label of reciprocity To have a customs
law pass and then deliberately nullify it,
either thoughtlessly or carelessly, is stul-
tification that no congressman can afford to
indulge in. Reduce the tariff where it will
not reduce production in exchange for sim
mar reductions by the foreigner; but do not
kill a large industry for an insignificant In
crease of an unimportant article of ex-
portation. There are Items in these treaties
that give very valuable consideration for
the merest bagatelle !, in return They
should all have the strictest scrutiny of the
friends of American industry in the Senate.
