THE SENTENCE AFFIRMED.
The Court of Appeals Denies AppII-
cation of WaIIace's Counsel.

In an opinion announced yesterday by
Justice Morris. the Court of Appeals for
the District affirmed the Judgment Of the
Supreme Court Of the District in the case
of Boyd Wallace, cclored, convicted of
murder and sentenced to be hanged in
the District jail on Monday. May p
1t is probable however. that the execu-
ton Will not take place on that date. for
more reasons than one. Under ordinary
circumstances the Court of Appeals does
not issue a mandate confirming a judg-
ment Of the lower court until fifteen days
has elapsed from the date of rendering
the decision. If this length of time is
taken by the upper court the date fixed for
the execution Of WALLACE viii have passed.
Again it is stated That counsel for the
doomed man has fled a petition at the
Department of Justice asking that the
sentence Of death imposed upon Wallace
be commuted to imprisonment for life in
the peniteutiary.
The absence Of the President from the
city ct this time viii necessarily delay
any action taken on the petition and il is
not customary for the courts to act in
any matter which is held under advise

It is possible for the District Attorney To

EDUCATION IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Fred. w. Atkinson. General Superin-
tendent of Education in the Philippines.
has recently submitted report covering
the period from November g. 1900, to May
81 1901 in which ne makes an interesting
statement concerning the progress Of edu-
cation in the Philippines.
Al the time mentioned there had been
appointed eight superintendent. eight
principals and assistants. and seven hum
dred and eighty-one teachers from the
United States. together with two super
tntendents and eighty teachers from ap-
plicanis in the Philippines. Mr.. Atkin-
son says that over eight thousand written
applications with testimonials were eX-
amincd, So great is the desire OF Ameri-
cans to take part in this noble work. In
some cases. he informs us, successful
teachers offer to teach in the Philippines
for smaller salaries than they receive at
home, prompted. let US hope, by the de-
sire to do good.

national character is. They were for so
many years in bondage to Spain that
they have received all their ideas of gov

believe that such promises were made to
be broken and not to be kept. The gem

PREPARE FOR HORSE SHOWS,
Extensive Improvements and Changes to Be
Made in the Auditorium

Alterations and improvements to the
extent Of $1,000 will be made in the Au-
ditoriuu at the Exposition Grounds
This will be done by the Horse Show AS
ISOLATION. and for the next horse show
Richmond will have an amphtheatre
second to none in the United States
Madison Square in New York and the
Coliseum i'll Atlanta are now the finest
horse-show buildings in the country, but
with the proposed improvements Rich-
monc's building will take rank with
these magnificent edticcs.
At the Horse Show this year the infe-
rior accommodation OF the Auditorium
was realized by the promoters, and hence
the decision to improve the building.
Tiers of boxes, making an aggregate
boX-list of seventy-fVe, will be put in
and the seating. capacity, OUTSIDE of his.
will be increased to 6,0oo This will mean
sufficient room for the great thronss
which made the last Richmond Horse
Show one Of the best in the country.
Plans for these changes are now being
prepared, and as soon as the, are COM
pleteG it is said that work will begin.
1t will take some time to complete these
improvements, paint the place properly
etc, but once 1t is zone the value of the
building will be vastly Increased. A di-
videnc of 6 per cent has been declared
for the preferred stockholders of the
Horse Show.
1t Is the purpose at the next Horse
Show to make it more elaborate than Le-
fore. 1t will probably embrace new
classes and will bring to this city a
higher class Of horses than before shown
here. Mr.. j Z Anderson and Mr.. Leigh
