CHILDREN OF THE FAR
NORTH ARE APT PUPILS.

Mrs. Mary Bernardo recently
closed a several months term of
school as teacher of the Cape
Prince of Wales natives. She
taught at the village of Kingegen,
having an enrolled attendance of
147. In spite of the many diff
culties encountered, she says she
rather enjoyed the novel expert
ence of teaching the young Eski-
mo idea how to shoot. The most
distinctive feature in the Eskimo
character, Mrs. Bernardo says, is
curiosity.
The natives, especially those
who have arrived at the age OF
discretion, are of prying, not
to say enterprisiug, cast of mind,
and what they cannot understand
and that would fill many vol
umes-they are inclined to look
upon with suspicion and disdain.
However, Mrs. Bernardo says
that the younger people are anX
ious to learn ; they are patient to
a degree, and as a rule are bright
and quick to learn. The hardest
task of the teacher, perhaps, is to
teach them discipline-that is,
that they must be subject to GER.
tain rules of government. The
younger can with patience be
brought to see the necessity OF
this, but practically to try sub
ject the older pupils to any form
of discipline is well nigh impossi
BILE.
Mrs. Bernardo, who is well
known in Seattle, as well as Alas
ka, went to Cape Prince of Wales
last October in the capacity Of g
teacher. OF the l47 pupils, one
third were over II years of age
and it was not at all times a prim
rose path which she found while
trying to enlighten their benight
ed minds.
The younger children made
steady progress. They learned
to read and cipher with a degree OF
rapidity, and appreciated what
was being done for them. They
were taught many things un-

TO USE WIRELESS SYSTEM
Signal Corps is Expected to Conduct
Interesting Experiments in
TeIeEraphy.

WASHINGTON, July At is quite prob
able that the signal corps of the army will
use a system of wireless telegraphy in
the coming joint army and naval ma
neuvers.
General Greeley has designated a special
board to consider what experiments in
communication will be. attempted at these
maneuvers by the army, and the question
as to whether the forces will attempt to
use g wireless system in thar operations
will be decided by It. ~ ~
The Navy department doef not expect
to use wireless telegraphy in the maneu-
vers this summer, as It has not yet de-
cided upon a system. Lieutenant Hudgins
OF the equipment bureau has been abroad
for some time looking into the various
wireless systems developing in Europe and
is expected to arrive here very shortly,
which should enable the department to
make a selection of some system to ex-
pertinent with.
1t is the hope and expectation Of the
officials that wireless communication can
be made a part of the great naval ma
neuvers which will take place in the
Caribbean sea next winter.
A part of the material purchased by
Lieutenant Hudgins abroad already has ar
rived at the Washington navy yard, but
has not been unpacked. 1t consists of sp-
paratus belonging to French system.

GETS MONEY BY PROMOTION
Lieutenant Busch VIII Secure $1,000
from German Estate as Re-
suit of His Rank.

WASHINGTON, July Am interesting
and unusual incident has come TO light in
connection with the appointment of Lieu
tenant Carl F. Busch to the army. Lieu
tenant Busch comes from the ranks and
was recommended for appointment as sec
ond lieutenant because of his strict atten-
tion to duty and manifest fitness for such
advancement. His father is Baron Busch
OF Berlin and the parent has now written
to Secretary Root asking to be furnished
properly attested evidence that his son has
been appointed an officer in the United
States army in order that the courts may
authorize the Busch estate to pay to the son
the sum Of $1,000. A legacy established
about 200 years ago by a military-loying
ancestor bestowed on each member Of the
family who obtained a commission in any
of the armies of the world the above stated
sum, to be used for the purpose of equip
ment. The young ofhcer is now serving in
the Philippines with the Twenty-ffth in
fantry.

AMNESTY IN PHILIPPINES
AEuinaldO II to visit Friends and
Then Depart on n
Trip.

MANILA, July 4.-President Roosevelt's s
amnesty proclamation was read at noon
today, in English and Spanish, from a
flag -draped stand on the Luneta, after a
parade of 5000 Americans and Fillpinos.
Arthur Ferguson, secretary to Governor
Taft, read the proclamation in the pres
ence of a small gathering, the heat having
dispersed the crowd when the parade ended.
The prisoners freed by the proclamation,
estimated to number 500, were released
without ceremony. Many military prison.
ers had previously been freed. Aguinaldo
remained in the house which has sheltered
him since his captivity. He is expected to
visit friends briefly and then depart on a
trip. His destination Is not announced.
The exiles on the island of Guam are ex-
peoted to return here on a special steamer.
The observance of the national holiday
is general. The city is decorated and the
ships are flying all their flags. The cele-
bration was typically American, even to
the firecrackers. Acting Governor Wright
and General Chaffee reviewed the process
sion and Captain Crossheld delivered an
oration. He defended the American policy
in the Philippines, predicted the ultimate
complete acceptance Of American institu-
tions by the Filipinos and denounced the
critics Of the Philippine policy.
There were athletic games and racing
in the afternoon and there will be fre-
works and illuminations at night.
The military has surrendered control
of Batangas province to the civil authori-
ties and, with Lagune province organized
and General Cailles appointed governor

NEGOTIATIONS FOR CANAL
Secretary Hay and Minister Concha
of Colombia Have PreIim-
mary Talk

WASHINGTON. July 4.--The negotiations
for the treaty between the United States
and Colombia, from which we will acquire
the right to build the Panama canal, will
begin in about one week, Minister Concha
Of Colombia having conferred with Secre-
tary Hay on the prelimiparies OF the ne
gotiatlons.
Mr.. Hay will be out OF the city for the
next few days and on bis return the ne
gotiatlons will begin. Minister Concha
has been fully clothed with authority to
proceed with the treaty.
The main features OF the treaty are
pretty well settled, as the protocol signed
some time ago was quite full in setting
forth the prospective arrangement in case
congress acted favorably on the Panama
route. The amount to be paid Colombia
for a REIMBURSEMENT Of exclusive rights to
the United States will be 81 000, 900. IN gold,
payable on the exchange Of Publications Of
the treaty, and in addition Colombia is to
receive an annuity at the end OF fourteen
years, to be determined by mutual agree
ment at that time. This annuity is ex-
pected to be $500, 900 year, as the imme-
date payment Of S7,00O.Oo0s covering the
period Of the next fourteen years is con-
sidered a basis for fixing the annual rental
at SoVO,UOU.
In transferring the rights OF Colombia to
the United States the language used by the
act Of congress will be followed to a con-
siderable extent, and there will be a trans
fer Of such Jurisdiction over the six mile
zone as will permit the exercise Of Ameri-
can authority, with American courts, sani-
tary officers, police etc. The question OF
transferring complete political sovereignty
is about the only point which could raise
obstacles to the negotiations, but II is ex-
pected that this point will be avoided, as
the act of congress appears to contemplate
transfer of jurisdiction aud not trans
fer Of political sovereignty.
The Colombian officials at Washington
look forward to successful consumma tion
of the negotiations. They say, however,
that there is far less popular demand in
Colombia for the Panama canal than there
is in Nicaragua for the Nicaragua route,
and this apathy may delay the conclusion
| OF negotiations. The treaty will have to
be ratified by the United States senate and
the Colombian congress before 1t becomes
| effective.
