CHRISTMAS IN LONDON
WAR CLOUD THROWS GLOOM OVER
THE FESTIVITIES.

LONDON, Dec. as-"Christmas for the
third year in succession finds the coun-
try engaged in war; is the burden of
the editorials in the London papers this
morning. and regrets are expressed that
the casualty list issued today totals for
ty-Eine men killed and seventy-ene
wounded. Satisfaction, however, is found
In the fact that the process of arbitra-
ton brings the end of the struggle per-
ceptfbly nearer. Compensation is like
wise found in the undiminished loyalty
displayed by the colonies.
Christmas brought a change of weather
conditions in Europe, where the severe
frosts and cold have given way to cold
rain and sleet. In London, tine wretched
weather threw a certain gloom over the
festivities. Shopkeepers suffered heavily,
as the downpour kept thousands Of people
indoors.
Among the great cities of the world,
New York is regarded as having the
greatest cause to rejoice for material
prosperity. Rome and st. Petersburg are
fairly prosperous, but Paris, Berlin and
Vienna are all suffering from bad trade
conditions.
The Prince and Princess of Wales pre-
sided yesterday at the annual distribu
tion of gifts, joints of beef, etc., to the
tenants at Sandringham, on behalf of

dash and a jingle four prancing horses
drew up in style before the asylum doors
and forty-nine joyful voices were lifted in
a mighty Shrek, There is Santa Claus!
I see Santa Clausn' And sure enough in
the center of a cozy sleigh sat jolly faced
Santa surrounded by his four befurred
helpers. The five jumped out of the
sleigh and hurried up the steps Of the
asylum. Forty-nine little hearts began to
f1utter. A few of the very tiny children
decided it was best to cry, just little.
The door was opened and Santa entered
in style. In his capacious bag he carried
a box of candy for each one of the
children and he had a joke and a smile
for each.
Danced Around Tree.
Santa's coming was the signal for a
good time for the children. They danced
about the tree Some of them lisped lit
tie Christmas verses which the asylum
teacher, Miss Trevette, had previously
taught them. All of them sang songs
All gazed admiringly at Santa Claus.
Each little girl received from the big
tree yesterday doll, each little boy re-
ceiYed some equally appropriate gift
All received fruit and candy.

DETROIT, Dec. 24.-Gen. r. A. Alger,
who was operated on last Sunday passed
a fair day. A disturbance of his stomach
occurred this afternoon which resulted in
an increase of his fever Tonight how
ever, the fever is gradually going down.
He is taking water by the stomach to-
night for the first time. Following is the
physicians bulletin issued at 10 o'clock
tonight:
Gen. Alger passed fair day. His
temperature tonight is 1902 and mis- pulse
so. At two o'clock this afternoon
a slight disturbance of the patients
stomach occurred followed by an in
crease In the fever. The other condi-
tions remain satisfactory. c. G. Jen-

DIR. Jennings said tonight that if Gen.
Alger's condition continues as good to-
morrow as it has been today he can be
considered as having passed the most
critical stage.
''He will, however, be in a serious con-
dition," said DIR. Jennings, for week
longer. The general himself Is cheer

HAYS CITY, Kan, Dec. 2-Charles
Kurfess, the notorious young criminal
of this city, and his sweetheart, Maggie
Blick, are again in the tolls of the law.
They were caught yesterday in Mime
sofa, and are now in jail at Worthington,
that state.
Kurfess is only twenty-three years of
age, yet he has been in enough scrapes
to send him to the penitentiary for life.
His parents are highly respected citizens,
but he and his brothers have always been
outlaws One of them was hanged for
horse stealing in No Mans Land and an
other is serving a twenty-one-year SEN
tence at Lansing, Kan, for attempted
murder.
Charles Kurfess is the youngest broth
er. He has been arrested several times
for various crimes, and last May was in
Jail here for burglary. The night before
he was to be arraigned, his sweetheart,
Maggie Blick, smuggled a revolver to him
and he fired a couple of shots at the
jailer and frightened him into letting him
out. That night he stole horse and
buggy and he and his sweetheart left
the country. They were located at Sa-
lima, Kan, and the authorities at Hays
arrest them. A running fight ensued and
several shots were exchanged, but Kur-
fess and the woman managed to get
away.
They went next to Sugar City, Col.
They were located there and the sheriff
Of Ellis county got out acquisitions and
went there to get them. Another fight
took place and they got away again.
In order to show the officials of Ellis
county that he was made of the right
sort Of stuff for an outlaw, Kurfess, with
his girl, came back and stole another
horse and buggy and then skipped out.
Yesterday they were arrested in Mime
sofa after hard fight.
Kurfess will be brought back on re-
QUESTION. No requisition was asked for
the return of Maggie Blick. Il have a
warrant for her." said Deputy Sheriff
Stout today, land she will come without
requisition. She will follow kurfess
no matter where he goes

happiness of the asylum children yester-

There are forty-nine small children in
ST. Paul who know positively that there
is a Santa Claus. Five of the forty-nine
yesterday morning had the tiniest doubts
concerning his existence. Because hadn't
everyone of them managed to keep
awake at least Christmas eve and weren't
they all just more than sure that never
q Santa Claus had so much as peeped
in the room where limp stockings hung?
But yesterday even the skeptical ones
were convinced. Santa Claus, panied at
the openly expressed doubt of his reality,
paid them visit in person. He visited
both the doubling five, and the convinced
forty-four at the Protestant orphan
asylum. But it didn't seem like an
asylum yesterday afternoon. Forty-nine
small tots were in gala attire. Forty
nine small noses were fattened against
forty-nine panes of glass. Santa
Claus Miss Weinzierl the matron, an
nounced, will be here at oclock!' So
the children were prepared. In the school
room big gayly decorated tree ablaze
with lights failed to hold their attention.
What was q trimmed and lighted tree
to really, truly Santa Claus? And
promptly at 4 o'clock forty-nine small
faces were wreathed in smiles. For with a

WASHINGTON, Dec 25.-The carrying
Of education to the natives of the Phil
ippines is the subject of an interesting
chapter of the report of the United States
Philippine commission, made public to-
day.
The call for teachers from the United
States came after the establishment of
the bureau of public instruction. The
law under which the department was
created provided that the English Ian
guage should be made the basis of all
public instruction in the islands, and the
superintendent was authorized to obtain
from the United States 900 trained teach
ers at monthly salaries of not less than
$75 and not more than $125, the exact
salary of each teacher to be fixed by the
general superintendent, The transporta-
ton, reception and distribution of teach
ers began on a small scale early in the
year In May 600 were ready to sail from
San Francisco at one time and it was
then that the government provided spe-
cial transport. Arriving at Manila it
was found that there were no hotel ac-
commodations available for SO large
number pending assignment to different
stations in the islands, and so it was-ar-
ranged to care for them at the eXposi-
ton grounds. The commission, usually
prosafc, presents an interesting pen pic
ture of the arrival of this army of 600
educators from the land Of liberty"
Two thousand trunks were brought over
by the teachers. The educators accept
ed the accommodations at the exposi-
ton grounds without :nnurmur, but the
change from one climate to another and
from ship to shore resulted in a, good
many of them falling i'll. In a short time
all had recovered their health and then
! began the assignment and transportation
to the different parts of the island.
Many problems were encountered in as
| signing the teachers, the commission
says, but most of them were solved. The
| married couples where both were quail
| fed teachers, were usually assigned to
| towns requiring but one man and one
| woman teacher, and ordinarily the wom-
| en- were sent in twOs for companionship
| and mutual assistance. The preference
| to teachers as to place of assignment
| was consulted, and, as far as possible,
| intimate friends were assigned to the
| same town.
| At the end of July there were 5,125 pu-
pills III the primary schools in Manila.
The commission says all public instruc-
| ton in the city atsthe present time is in
the English language. Spanish still holds
a place in private Institutions, and con-
tinues to attract Filipino students as
being the only language in which second
lary or higher instruction is at present
| given Extraordinary efforts, the COM
mission says, are being made to prepare
Filipinos as teachers. Many Of them are
already teaching children the English
