In the city of Boston $4,000 school
children were examined by physicians
and it was found that 5000 We're i'll
enough to be sent to their homes
many of them afflicted with the con
tagious diseases of childhood In Chi

and 4,5OO were found to have conta-
gious diseases. Thoughtful people will
deduct from this that it should not be
so much question as to whether d
child is sick enough to stay out of
school, as whether he is well enough
to be in school.

TREwlN sTlRs UP OFFICIALS.
Introduces Resolution for Inquiry In
fhA Senate

Des MoineS, Feb. Ex-senator Ire
win sprang a surprise and something
of sensation in the legislature yes
terday by the Introduction of con-
current resolution aimed at several
of the state departments which have
been lax in complying with the sta
tute which requires them to make BIZ
ennially to the state executive coun-
Gil an itemiZed statment, verified by
oath of all salaries and expenses paid
by such departments together with an
account of all supplies and paper
drawn and printing and binding done.
The Trewin resolution provides that
the standing committees on retrench-
ment and reform in the legislature
shall inquire into the cause of such
neglect and report such proposed leg
islation as may be deemed necessary
to secure the enforcement of the law.
The resolution went over under the
rules, but leading members of the up
per body stated that there was no
question but that it would be adopted.
The committee on retrenchment and
reform referred to in the resolution
is composed of the chairmen of the
ways and means, judiciary and ap-
preparations committees of both
houses. This committee is the one
which reported the law requiring the
above mentioned reports to be made,
when it was placed on the statute
books of the state two years ago.
Before that time provision for
such reports had been made by the
previous general assembly. but it was
found that the provisions were not
specific enough and the law was
evaded. Two years ago what was
deemed a sweeping statute covering
the subject was passed, with the idea
that there would be no future trouble
in securing the desired reports.

ence Of China and of Corea.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 15.-The Rus
sian official view of the Anglo-Japan-
ese treaty was communicated to the
correspondent of the Associated Press
today as follows:
I'VE accept the news of the entente,
with the complete equanimity and are
very happy to ascertain that England
and Japan are pledged to maintain
the integrity Of China and the inde-
pendence of Corea, two principles
which Russia was first to establish
as the basis of her foreign policy in
the Orient. Russia would have will
ingly subscribed to the agreements
in the preamble. The English-Japan-
ese say that their convention has only
essentially pacific aims. This makes
it all the more astonishing when they
speak of war and coalitions. What
power they have in view we cannot
say But in any case, if peace is
meanaced in the extreme orient. Rus
sia, for her part, cannot fail to take
all the measures necessary to guard
her interests. All Russia's conven-
tions with japanese have aimed at the
preservation of the integrity OF China
and the independence of Corea, and it
is true that Minister Kurino came to
us Immediately to communicate the
text of the agreement and give the
most amicable assurances. We have
reason to believe that it is not true
that America, with whom we remain
in perfect, accord, is a silent partner
in the affair. We have given America
positive assurance that Russia will

potatoes have been carried away. Re-
Gently a load of hay was stolen and
the thieves were traced to this CITY,

and were away before their identity
could be detected. The farmers say
that if the thieves are caught they
