SATISFIED WITH REPLY.
Germany Will Accept President Cas-
trO's Answer to Proposals.


BERLIN, Jan. 1.-President Castro's re-
ply to the powers, through Minister Bowen,
is substantially an unqualified acceptance
of their proposals to arbitrate and the ac-
companying conditions. The Foreign Office
here received his answer to-day. and is sat-
isfied with its spirit. A further interchange
OF views. preparatory to signing the pro-
tocol, will take place in Washington. The
only really important question to be set
tied Is what shall be done with the block
ade continuance of the blockade is re-
lied upon to hasten the conclusion of the
arbitration preliminaries, especially on the
ROME, Jan. Foreign Minister Prinetti
this afternoon received through Ambassa-
dor Meyer Secretary Hays not commune
Hague arbitration in principle, but with an
additional proposition which the govern
ment at Washington does not support
Office, it has been learned that the Foreign
Office considers the additional proposition is
not likely OF acceptance Communications
on this subject are now being exchanged
with Germany and Great Britain.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The rejoinders
of the European foreign offices to President
Castros reply to their arbitration proposal
have not reached Washington. Inquiry con-
firms the report from Rome to the effect
that Castro did attach condition TO the
acceptance of the arbitration proposal, and
that condition was not Endorsed by the
Washington government. However, Ii is
pointed out that it has not been regarded
as necessary at the State Department to
either approve or disapprove any of the de-
tails of the propositions now in exchange
between the principals. AS to conditions
attached to the acceptance it can be stated
that they are not of great consequence
nor are they likely to involve the loss of
the arbitration project. for they are under
stood to relate rather to the means of
getting the issue to arbitration than to any
substantial principle involved

SCHURMAN TO TEACHERS.
He Tells Them the Fi1fpinOs VIII
Some Day BE independent.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. L-Jacob Gould
Schurman, president of Cornell University,
spoke tonight to 1900 members of the Ne
braska Teachers Association on the SUBJ
ject Our Philippine Policy" His address
III part was a reiteration of his views here
tofore expressed, but he was probably
more outspoken in his declaration for the
ultimate independence of the islands. At
his request the teachers by rising vote
expressed their opinions, majority in
dorsing his views. He said the problem in
the island. was manifold-of military, po-
litical, economic and ecclesiastical nature.
On the political side he Endorsed the recon-
mendatons of the civil commission and de-
clared the Filipinos in three years would
be enjoying as much political liberty as
Americans, as the rights of the Constitu-
ton have been extended, except trial by
jury and the bearing of arms The first
they did not want. and the latter would
be forthcoming.
In regard to the economic aspect, he
thought the United States had sinned by
neglect He criticised Congress for not
providing for q stable currency. 1T will
be burning shame" he said, ''if the pres
ent Congress adjourns without enacting n
currency law for the islands, Other short
comings of this government, he said were
the keeping UP of trade barriers and the
sending of so many teachers from this
country at the expense of the Filipinos in
spite of protests.

The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as in eczema the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled

pimples and ringworm the awful suf-

dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent

economy have made them the standard
skin cures, blood purifiers and humour

hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura 0int-
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation

SCHOOL-TEACHING.
Spirit and Results That Follow the
Work Of the superintendent.

DR.. ]. M. Rice, in the Forum.
From the deductions stated the infer
ence is natural: IF the Superintendent is
responsible for the spirit of the schools.
sults? If the superintendent wishes to
develop a good school spirit. it is neces-
sary for him to work for spirit II he is
DESTROYS of accomplishing results of high
order, 1t is necessary for him to work for
results.
In view of what 1 have stated, the aim of
supervision is clearly a double one. In the
first place, the superintendent must see
that a wholesome spirit is developed in the
schools; and, secondly, it is also his duty
to see that due attention is paid to results
This again gives rise TO an important ques-
ton: Is 1t possible to keep the results in
view without at the same time crushing
the spirit? or. conversely, is 1t possible to
develop a delightful classroom atmosphere
without at the same time destroying the re-
suits?
Judging by my own impressions. acquired
by two-fold study of the question, spirit
and results are in no way Incompatible.
The criticism aimed at the modern school
spirit, that IL means mlk-and-water sys-
TEN, a weak sentimentality rather than
mental discipline of a wholesome kind, does,
perhaps, apply to the schools of those To-
calities where the mere utterance of the
word results" Is looked upon as sacri-
legfous-schools that are in the transitional
stage, just emerging from an Anticipated
system. and not yet accustomed to their
new surroundings But the criticism does
not apply to localities where good spirit
has already become an established fact
and additional aims can be held in view
without losing sight of the fundamental
proposition. In itself, good school spirit
does not indicate weakness any more thar
a poor spirit is an indication OF strength
In some of the delightful schools, il Is
true. the results are by no means praise
worthy; but, on the other hand. the results
are frequently of a very inferior order In

Gardiner Did Not Fight Fair.

NEW BRITAIN. Conn. Jan. latter re-
peatediy warning Gus Gardiner. of Phil
adelphia. Referee John Willis gave Joe
Cans. of Baltimore. the decision in the
eleventh round of a bout scheduled for
twenty rounds, before the National Ath-
letic Club to-day. Cans was on the offens-
I've from the start, but Gardiner danced
around the ring from his opponent for five
rounds and showed no inclination to mix 1t
up. In the fifth round Cans succeeded in
landing several good blows on Gardiner
with telling effect. In the sixth Gardiner
came back with the tactics which char
acterixed the first few rounds of the bout
and relied on his foot work to escape Cans.
The referee repeatedly warned Gardiner,
who clinched at every opportunity, but
with little effect. In the eleventh round
Gardiner caught Cans about the waist and
threw him heavily to the floor. Referee
gave the decision TO Cans. Fifteen hun
dred persons witnessed the fight.

Prof. II. G. Wilder Says 1t Is More
HumanliIxe than the Gorilla.

WASHINGTON, Jan. lat to-day's ses-
sion of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science an, interesting
paper was read by Prof. Burt q. Wilder. Of
Cornell University, before the section on
zoology on "Some Questions as to the Ar
rangement of the Primates." According
to the views advanced by Professor Wilder
there should be a Encouragement in the
present classification of apes and man. The
brain, he considers, as affording the best
criterion on which to determine their affin-
tiles and divergences. Incidentally he
showed that the brain of the orang-outang
approached more nearly that of man, and
that judged by this character the orang-
outang should rank next after man instead
of the gorilla. This paper produced much
discussion.
Another interesting paper read to-day was
by Prof. w. j. MCGEE on Indian Arrow
Poison" Professor MCGEE explained that
the poison often was applied TO the bow in
stead of the arrows. In other instances,
he said the Indians daubed their arrow
points with putrefying matter, which pro-
duced septicemia in the person struck and
thereby resulted in death.
