Our Greatest Army

There is one army in this country from which nothing is to be feared. even by those who look night and day for the coming of imperialism" We refer to the great army of children in the public schools This army is growing al the rate of more than 250.000 year. According to the annual report of the commissioner of education, just sub
 mitted to the secretary of the interior the grand total of pupils in schools, ele- mentary, secondary and higher, for the year ending June 30. 1901. was ,23O. an increase Of 27S.520 over the preceding year. Of this number the enrolment of pupils in institutions supported by general and local taxes furnished by states and municipalities was 15, 394. which was an increase of 266,SS2 as compared with the preceding year. We must not leave out of account in con sidering the figures pupils in certain special institutions, like city evening schools, business schools, schools for Indians, reform schools, schools con nected with asylums and schools for cookery and other special trades and vacations, which altogether enrolled nearly 800, 900 pupils. Taken altogether. the total enrolment of all who re- ceived education for a longer or short CT period during the year covered by the report was something over 17.75O,- 900.
 If we take the figures for the public fact that the increase in the enroll ment has proceeded at a rate in ex- cess of the growth Of the population. The number of children enrolled in the public schools of the country in 1870 was 6,S71, ,522. In 1901, as has been mentioned above, the number rose to Is, 710, ,394. That represents an increase of over 12S per cent, while the popula- tion of the country increased only lit tie over 100 per cent in the interval. In mention the interesting fact that, as recent school statistics show, the aver age attendance has more than kept pace with the enrolment
 In view of these figures, it will sur prise no one to learn that the value of the property used for public school pur- poses has very greatly increased in the course of the last three or four decades. The value of property used for such purposes increased from $13O. .3S0. 00S in 1870 10 $576, ,963, ,0S9 in 1901. The expen- ditures for elementary and secondary schools increased from $6S, ,396, ,666 in 1870 to $226, ,O43, ,236 In 1901. The increase in expenditure for the period was more than 256 per cent. which was consider ably more than double the increase in population. This, of course. has in volved an increase in the per capita cost of the public schools, and we find that, as a matter of fact the eX- penditure increased from s164 per capita in 1870 to $293 in 1901. Perhaps no more notable comparison is afforded by the statistics than is supplied by the figures of attendance. It appears from these that the average attendance of each pupil for the entire number en- rolled was ninety-nine days for the year. which was an increase of twen- ty-four days over the previous year.

A perusal of the annual report of General John F. Weston, chief com missary of the army, will convince the reader that to be an efficient officer one must have a knowledge of business methods, as we'll as of tactics. The army consumed in the last year S,574,- 972 pounds of beef and mutton, and by the business arrangements of the de- partment this was delivered at a req
 sonable price. The Philippine supply was sent from Australia. and was of the first class refrigeratored" kind The beef was bought at an average of 6.6S cents pound, and the mutton for 5.5O cents a pound. The delivery at army stations averaged two cents a

Paris, Sept. 26.-Secretary Hays
note to the powers on the subject OF
Roumania's treatment of Jews, of
which slight notice was at first taken
under the impression that it would
lead to nothing, is now attracting more
attention in the French press and in
official circles here. It is practically
certain that the French government
will support a movement among the
powers to put pressure on Roumania
in favor OF better treatment of the
Jews and it is believed that Germany
will take q similar attitude. While it
is thought the United States will thus
be successful in stirring the powers
into seriously considering the matter
and that remonstrances may be ad-
dressed to Roumania, not much hope
is expressed of any practical and per-
manent effect within Roumania from
such action.
A semi-official agency has circulated
the following announcement:
'The French government has not
yet replied to Secretary Hays note.
While it is impossible to forecast M.
Delcasse's decision, the Impression in
diplomatic circles is that, while rec
ognizing the high motive which ac-
tuated Mr.. Hay, M. Delcasse will not
entirely agree with the Views advanced
in the American note.' 5Ss u

London, Sept. 26.-"The American
demand for anthracite coal continues

American demand has been felt for
about month past" he continued.
1--WE always have steady trade with
Canada and the Pacific coast and the
statements referring to large ship
ments to Portland appearing in the
English press mean to Portland, Or.
So this is merely our regular trade.
The abnormal shipments to date total
about $4,000 tons, Of which our firm
has sent all but a thousand or SO. l
know my estimate is accurate. We
are slow, I confess, in taking advantage
of the American demand. All the or
ders thus far filled have been at just
about the normal price, but free on
board quotations at Swansea advanced
SO cents during the past week and
while there are inquiries for $4,000
tons more the Americans thus far have
been reluctant to pay the advanced
price. The people who are really suf-
fering from the boom are the English
consumers, because the retailers
sharply advanced prices coincident
with the boom in the export trade"

TREATIES WITH CUBA.
Several Ready for Presentation to
Conuress,

Washington, Sept. 26.-With the ex.
pectation OF being ready to present to
congress at the opening Of it's next ses-
sion fabric OF treaties between the
United States and Cuba negotiations
are pending between Mr.. Quesada, the
Cuban minister, and the state depart
ment with regard to a commercial
treaty, an extradition treaty and a
treaty to adjust the title to the Isle cf
Pines. It is the purpose of Minister
Quesada, it is stated, to draw up the
commercial treaty on reciprocity lines.
The fate of such treaty will depend
naturally on congressional action on
the subject of Cuban reciprocity.
An extradition treaty between the
United States and Cuba already has
been drafted. The provision for the
establishment of civil government in
Cuba omitted the Isle of Pines from
the constitutional boundaries of Cuba
and left it's title to future definition by
treaty. The United States has decided
to leave the island under the jurisdic-
tion of the Cuban government until
such a convention can be consum.
mated.

THE HOTEL IS BLOWN UP.
Guest at Washington Hosiery At
tempts Wholesale Murder by
Blowing up Hotel.
Structure Badbly Wrecked aud Guests
Miraculously Escape With
Bad Shaking Up.
Prepetrator of the Deed Ends His
Own Existence by Shooting
Himself With Revolver.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The Golden
Eagle hotel, on the corner of New Jer.
sey avenue and D street, was dyna-
mited at 4:3O a. NJ, it is alleged by
Frank McKie, one of the guests, who
subsequently committed suicide. Be-
tween twenty and thirty guests were
thrown from their beds by the explo-
sion, but only the proprietor, Louis
Brandt, and his wife, We're injured, the
latter seriously. The roof of the build
ing was blown off and the falling OF
wreckage crashed through to the base
ment, leaving the structure as If
wrecked by a tornado. Every pane OF
glass in the building and the adjoining
structures was broken. The explosion
called out the fire department.
McKie had boarded at the hotel four
years and had been treated as a
member of the Brandt family, which
includes daughter, Sophie, with
whom McKie is said to have been In
love. Brandt denies that there was
any misunderstanding between the,
two. McKie remarked Wednesday
night that he was going to wait until
Sophie returned from Germany with
her mother and then was going to his
old home in Philadelphia Mrs. Brandt
and her daughter returned about s
o'clock that night. The attempt at
wholesale murder followed the next
morning. McKie, with a pistol in his
hand. was seen by an employe of
lunchroom opposite the hotel before
the shots were fired.
Fremen Extinguish Blaze.
When the explosion occurred a
slight blaze sprang from the debris,
but it was quickly extinguished by
the firemen. Brandt and his wife were
rescued before many of the thirty
guests of the establishment had
reached the part of the building in
which McKie's room was located. Nc
Kie, with a revolver clutched in his
hand. was found lying on the floor with
| his head in pool of blood. A bullet
, hole near the right ear had caused in
slant death. Brandt was bruised about
the body and shaken up badly and re-
| celVed a severe cut on the left leg.
Mrs. Brandt sustained bruises about
the body and cut hand. When the
wrecked building was searched enough
dynamite was found in McKie's trunk
to blow up block of buildings. There
were six whole sticks and parts of two
or three broken sticks together with
box of caps and quantity of wire for
long distance explosion. He had at
least nine sticks of dynamite in his
possession.
McKie was about twenty-eight years
old. He was formerly of Philadel-
phia and had relatives in Chicago.
He was a machinist in the navyyard
here but resigned on inheriting up
wards of 100000 about four years ago.
This amount he is said to have lost on
the races and his act is accredited by
some to this loss

Hopes the Public Will Place No Gre.
dence in Certain Rumors.
Washington, Sept. 26.-Secretary
Shaw has given out the following
statement:
Money once covered into the treas
ury (and this of course includes the
sub-treasuries) cannot thereafter be
deposited ia banks An customs re-
ceipts are by law payable to the treas
ury and snb.treasuries. The only fund
therefore available in banks lis internal
revenue and MISCELLANEOUS receipts
before they have been actually covered
into the tEeasnry. These amount to
about half million per day and since
the stringency arose to their fullest
extent have been steadfastly returned
to circulation. This policy will be
continued for thirty or sixty days if
needed and longer If necessary.
in the meantime national bank cir
culation has been Increased about
seven million dollars, largely induced
by the distribution of deposits and the
further increase to the amount Of
eight millions is assured.
"All rumors Of experiments have
been unauthorized by the treasury de-
partment. 1T is to be hoped that the
public will place no credence in va
carries started by irresponsible and un-
trusted men of the street. 1t is also
hoped that the country will under
stand that the treasury department, to
the extent of it's ability, will stand by
the banks, East and West, North and
South, and it is hoped also that the
banks will stand by every business and
every interest that is worth protecting.
There will be no experiments tried
and no policy adopted until after ma
ture deliberation and no feelers will be
sent out. Anything to the contrary
should be discreuited." *.a
