Washington, Dec. 27.-One OF the
most gratifying features OF the re-
port OF the military governor of the
Philippine islands is his account OF the
activity OF the soldiers in establishing
a system OF education in the islands,
which until now have been almost en-
tirely dependent upon the parish
schools. In many localities there
were no schools whatever, and the
testimony OF all the officers who have
had TO do with educational matters
is that the inhabitants eagerly avail
themselves of advantages which the
schools established by the provisional
government have afforded

Chicago Market

Chicago, Oct. 22-Bullish Argentine
news and heavy liquidation in corn were
the only features in a dull and apathetic
market today. December wheat closed a
shade higher; December corn 4 lower and
December oats unchanged. Provisions
closed 215 to ~ up.
There was little news of European bust
ness in wheat at the outset and Decem-
Der wheat opened unchanged to a shade
higher at 70% to 70t2 on steady cables.
The trade was largely local with no early
reports Of exports. Conditions were ready,
therefore, for slump in prices when a
sharp decline began in corn. Following
this influence December wheat sagged off
to 70l4dSs. Primary receipts had also in
creased considerably, but these factors
toward lower prices were soon overbal-
damage to the crops in Argentine.
Under this influence December regained
its early loss and sold to 705sG%. though
there was nothing like any active trade.
Continental cables failed to respond to
the Argentine news and December closed
only steady, a shade higher at 70iz49s.
Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour
equaled $4,000 bushels.
Corn gave away early and there was a
renewal of the selling that set in yester-
day but It recovered sharply on an over
sold market December at this time

Another plan suggested is to extend
Southgate Street northeasterly and
carry it under the tracks of the New
Haven road to a point in Southbrfdge
Street. Mr.. Power. who owns coal
yard through which the extension
would have to go, objects to this ana
another objection is that the land is
very soft.
Col. Benton wanted to know if
Southgate Street could not be closed
east of the bend is this was done and
Mr.. Mcclure said it might be but the
people who use it's east end would have
to go a very roundabout way to get
to the mills-a quarter of a mile up
Southbridge Street to where the extern
sion of Southgate Street would run in
to Southbridge and then back the ex-
tension.
Cambridge Street was the next cross
ing taken up and Col. Benton opposed
the plan offered by Mr.. Mcclure. The
city engineer said in order to give 1e
feet of headroom to the railroad here
it will be necessary to lower the
tracks 10 feet. The grade of the rail
road would run out about 800 feet north
of the crossing and 1900 feet south. This
cut might be drained into Still Water
Pond. In order to give only a per
cent grade in the street, it is proposed
to raise the street nine feet at the
crossing. This grade will affect some
of the houses on each side of the cross
ing
Col Benton said you propose to low
er the tracks for a distance of 2000 feet,
varying from nothing to 10 feet at the
street That means a big cut and the
construction of a wall the entire dis
lance. And you want the railroad to
construct a drain in the railroad To-
cation for a distance of about 400 feet. "
Mr.. Mcclure said that is what his
plan calls for and in reply to further
questions he suggested "A closed drain
with catch basins at various points
Col. Benton did not like this.
The last crossing taken up and the last
one to be considered in the present alb
clifton was Jackson Street where Mr..
Mcclure recommended that the street
be carried under the tracks which will
remain at their present level The
street should be lowered to give IS feet
of headroom This will give a prac-
tically level grade in Jackson Street
from the railroad to Southbridge Street
but west of the tracks to Beacon
Street, the grade will be 1-2 per cent
If Lagrange Street is kept open at the
north end it will have to be cut 10 feet,
giving a grade of SO per cent
At this point, the session adjourned
until tomorrow at 1915 o'clock.

Considerable sympathetic effect was
produced by this at the last, resulting
in advances as much as point in
some of the grangers and high-priced
specialties. New York Central and the
so-called junior Vanderbilts advanced
1611k. There was continued specula-
ton in Amalgamated Copper, the stock
receding early on the decline in raw
copper in London and the further
spread in the price of futures below
that for spot, indicating the expecta-
ton of a coming fall in prices.
Amalgamated Copper, however, recoY-
cred with the late buying movement in
the market Large lending Of money
on call coming from the bank affiliated
with the Standard Oil party was in
terpreted by the spectators as an in
dication that the recent attitude of
opposition to a speculative advance by
that party had been modified. The
banks received payments for an addt-
tional half-million of gold at PACING
coast points and there were reports
that the movement of currency to the
South was declining.
The expected movement of gold from
London to Paris set in today, and
there were large additional shipments
to Berlin, marking the continued
money disturbance at those centres.
A triangular process of remittance
from New York to Paris for the re-
