The class of 1893 entered the high school
proper, or. the ninth grade, GOO strong.
Various reasons led to the rapid reduc-
ton of classes in the ninth and tenth
grades. The boys largely leave the school
to begin earning money for their own sup
port The girls also in lesser number are
called upon to enter upon the household
cares, relieving Overworked mothers or
going into the stores and offices. Then
there are a certain number who are with
drawn to attend schools private and pre-
paratory, in other parts of the country.
few are unable to keep up with the
class work and in this instance there have
been three deaths to lessen the ranks. The
classes have seemed to average Tor a num-
ber of years about one-third boys to their
total number.
1t has been roughly estimated that from
% to 40 per cent of the graduates enter
higher institutions of learning, but there is
no way of knowing exactly OF course, the
largest number go to the State university

cheaper school and after students had
been at the university for a year or two
the excellence of the school was recog-
nized. In addition to this the university
has been rapidly improving and the at

Special CABLE Despatch 10 THE Sun.
MANILA. July S-The Evangelical Union
and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce
occupied the entire day in opposing before
the Philippines Commission the bill reguat-
ing the sale of opium in the archipelago
The representatives of the Evangelical
Union urged that the sale of the drug be
prohibited az it is in the United States.
while the spokesmen for the Chinese Cham
Der of Commerce asked for the continu-
ance of the present indiscriminate sale Of
opium and Government supervision Of the
importation.
Commissioner Smith developed sem
sational argument He charged the
American lawyers representing the Chinese
Chamber of Commerce with tampering
with the newspapers. which had cabled
to Washington against the proposed bill
This, he declared, proved the existence
of Chinese fund which was being devoted
to defeat the measure. The Evangelical
Union has also cabled a protest against
the bill. The commission is exposed to
fractional fight among members of the
Chinese chamber, which mainly controls
the importation Of opium, against the
Chinese Consul.
Tomorrow representatives will be heard
in support Of the bill. They appear for
Hong Kong and Shanghai opium syndicates,
which operate under the Government
monopoly.

A Dinner Incident In Rome Taken TO Mean
That Another RED Hat VIII Come Here.

The return to Rome of Mgr OConnell,
rector of the Catholic University, at time
when it seems probable that the Sacred
College il facing the election of Pope
brought forth at an informal luncheon
yesterday an interesting story,
Several evenings prior to the departure
Of Mgr O'Connell from Rome to the United
States to assume the rectorship OF the uni
versity, a dinner was given in his honor
by Cardinal Vannutelli All of the guests
were stanch supporters Of the Vannutelli
party, who hope some day to see their leader
established on the papal throne.
After the dinner, when the guests were
assembled in the Cardinals famous library,
Mgr. .O'Connell, who sat beside Cardinal
vannutelli, playfuly bent over, took the
Cardinals crimson skull cap, turned it so
that the white satin lining would be outside
and replaced il on the Cardinals head. A
white cap is part Of the papal vestments.
Cardinal Vannuteli, according to the
story, smilingly removed the cap, turned
the red side out again and crowned Mgr
O'Connell with 1t. 1t * known that Mgr
O'Connell il one Of Cardinal Vannutellis
most favored friends and this action IL
now being interpreted TO mean that if the

have Cardinal for its president.
