WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

A cablegram has been received at the
State Department from Mr.. Rockhlll,
saving that he will leave Pekin for
home in August, by which time 1t is
hoped Mr.. Conger will have nearly
reached his destination.
Mr.. Vasquez, the San DOMINICAN
charge, acting for his government, and
Acting Secretary Hill for the United
States government, have signed pro-
tocol extending for one year from date
the pending reciprocity treaty between
the United States and Domingan re-

saws that Washington advices indicate
that the question Of currency In the
PHILIPPINES will soon come up for Sc
rious consideration. There was strong
pressure last autumn for executive ac-
ton which would relieve the actual
scarcity OF silver coins in the isMnds.
This scarcity was caused by the heavy
demand for currency in China while
the forces of the powers were at their
maximum there. but it seems to have
cured itself to some extent. In view
Of the partial amelioration Of these
conditions, 1t is probable that Secre-
tary Root will confine his action to the
study of the situation with the view
of recommending to Congress COM
prehensive plan for permanent cur
rency system in the Philippines. The
plan which Secretary Root and Sec
retary Gage discussed last autumn,
and which had the cordial indorse-
ment of the secretary of the treasury,
was the adoption of Il fixed rate of
exchange between the American gold
dollar and the Mexican silver dollar.
which have been the standard coin in
the Philippines.

A comprehensive plan for the work
of the naval war college during the
summer months is being considered by
the officials of the navy department
The plan contemplated entails the dis
cussion of several problems and one OF
them, of considerable interest, con-
Germs the defense of the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts of this country through
the use of the Nicaragua canal, which
for the purpose of the problem, is to
be supposed to be in existence. An
other problem relates to the defense oi
the coasts with the Straits of Magellan
as the connecting link between the At
lantic and Pacific oceans. The third
problem concerns operations of an
American fleet against European ma
tion of superior strength.

A weak point in the graded school
system is that clever pupils are held
back to the general level of the class.
or dull pupils are discouraged and
crushed" by the advancement of their
mates. The board of education in Ba
tavia, New York. seems to have
remedied this difficulty by providing
larger grade-rooms in which twice the
usual number of children can be as
sembled under two teachers, one teach
er to conduct the classes and the
other to give all her time to helping
the slower scholars. THE effect of the
change was instantaneous" writes the
president of the board, "in putting
confidence into the laggards, in MAX
ing them the equals of their brighter
neighbors. in giving an onward move
ment to the grades, in relieving the
teachers of all strain. and in ending
after-school drudgery and home work"
To attain any one of these results
would warrant pretty radical meas
ures.
