Education for FiIipinos.

Washington. Sept. 15.-The young
Filipinos being exhibited at the St.
Louis fair have been taken in charge
by the bureau of insular affairs at the
war department., and in the autumn will
be placed in various educational insti-
tutions throughout the United States,
and will be permitted to take 4 four
years course of study at the expense of
the government. This proposition has
met with the entire approval of the
people of the Philippine islanas, and
much interest has been evinced in the
matter. The seriousness, intelligence
aud patriotic ambition of these stu
dents give promise of a brighter future
for their race.

LOOK FOR ANOTHER
GENERALLY THOUGHT RUSSIANS
MUST FIGHT AGAIN.
Ominous Silence at the Front--
London Times Correspondent
Says Both Armies Show Up
Badly in the Matter of STRAIT
egg.

London, Sept. l2.-Dispatches from
various sources establish only the fact
that the Russian army is safely at
Mukden, Kuropatkin having accom-
plished his retreat in good order in
spite of the harassing Japanese, sodden
roads and hampered by more than H.
600 wounded. Beyond this there is no
direct news bearing on the military
situation.
Advices from Japanese sources are
Significantly lacking and the exact
whereabouts of the three japanese
armies are unknown. No word has
been received to indicate the present
location of Kuroki's army which was
last reported on the Russian left flank
and steadily pushing porthward.
A dispatch received by a Berlin
newspaper reports the evacuation Of
Mukden; but the story lacks confirma-
ton and receives little credence.
Viceroy Alexieff reports that railway
and telegraph communications between
Mukden and Hardin are both uninter-
rup'od. European military opinion is
tina another big battle will soon be
fought.
Tactics Not Brilliant.
The correspondent of the Times, who
was at the scene of battle at Liaoyang,
telegraphing from Picking, has the fol-
lowing to say regarding the tactics of
the two armies:
AFTER what has been printed of the
avoalIay,f 70 md hill innt orr tnu
of the japanese, your correspondent
must state that what has come under
his personal observation did not come
up to expectations 1t is the honest
opinion of your correspondent that
there was nothing strategically excel
lent about the handling OF either army
If any strategical success has been at
tanned by either of the belligerents. the
laurels rest with Gen. Kuropatkin,
who can claim to have defeated the
main object of the Japanese opera
tions. AS to the tactics of the Rus
slams, they obviously cling to the error
of over manning their defensive posi-
tions, while the sole spirit of the jap
anese tactics, as illustrated by the OPP
GRAFTON of the divisions under Gen.
Oku, was sledge-hammer frontal at
tacks.
your correspondent is satisfied that
Gen. Oku's corps commands are the
finest infantry in the world, and no.
body who has had the opportunity to
observe its work can believe that there
is any other army which in five con-
secutive days could have delivered
eight unsuccessful infantry attacks
upon intrenchments; they did and still
persevere.
Nothing can be said at this time
about the cavalry of either belligerent,
there being no evidence that the
mounted branches accomplished any
thing anywhere during the campaign"

Victoria, B. c., Sept. l2.-An extra

vancouver island. J. G. Hays, first
mate of the Glasgow ship Olivebank,
now loading lumber at Chemainus OF
cape Town, refused duty and was
charged with the offense. In reply he
asserted that he was not being fed,
and that therefore he had refused to
work. Further investigation brought
out the fact that Hays had been pro.

refused, however. to sit down with the
mate. and insisted that he dine at the
captain s table, or, failing that, tina,
he have his meals sent to his cabin
Ihe captain told him he could either

ley. Hays refused to eat at all. and
also to work.
The bench found him guilty and
committed him to Jail for six weeks,
or pending the departure of the ship.
Hays says that he will travel in heI
In irons before he will sit down with
the second mate. Marine men believe
that Hays is in the right, and that the
captain cannot compel him to break

The matter may eventually come ur

case the point may, in the opinion OF
local legal men, be settled in favor OF

Stockmen Submit Evidence to- Com
missioner PrOuty.
Denver, Sept. 15.-Interstate Com
MERGE Commissioner Charles A. Prouty
heard testimony yesterday in regard to
the Western live stock shippers griev-
ance against the railroad on account of
alleged discrimination in rate and poor
service.
The stockmen presented evidence in
support of the following contentious:
That combination exists between
the packing trust and the railroads to
depress the price of beef ON the hoof
and prevent feeders and stockmen from
finding a good market at Kansas City,
st. Joseph or Chicago.
That freight rates on cattle from the
Texas panhandle to Kansas feeding
points have increased, while cattle
prices have decreased.
That stockmen feeding and shipping
from Colorado common points are los
ing money and selling at loss.
That the railroads in Kansas and
Missouri are giving bad service, de-
laying stock, causing shrinkage and
materially reducing the chance of sell
ers to make profit.
That the railroads have, without
good causge, taken away the return
transportation for men accompanying
stock shipments, thus adding to the
substantial freight charges.
F. Bullock of Idaho, gave important
testimony as to existing conditions:
1.-The costs of raising cattle are now
over double what they were in 1892, "
he said 1.-The service that we are
given by the railroads causes us to
lose sometimes from $40 to 800 on
each carload of stock. 1t is about
.12O miles from where live to Oma-
ha, and in 1895 the run was made III
five and six days. Now the time
variegs from six to nine days, and for
no reason whatever. In my estima-
ton, a cattle train should be run at
the rate of twenty miles an hour, in
Guiding stops, but they take nearly
double that time. The present cost of
shipping carload of cattle to Port
land, Or, is $l53, and to Seattle,
Wash. it costs over 5000

PARCELS POST WORKING.
First Consignment of Packages
Comes From Japan.

First Consignment of Packages
Comes From Japan.
Tacoma, Sept. 15.-Seventeen sacks
of parcels post mail were received at
the Tacoma postoffice along with the
regular Oriental mail brought by the
steamer Hyades. Peculiar interest at
taches to the arrival of this class of
mail, as it is the first shipment re-
ceived from Japan under the parcels
post convention between the United
States and the empire that went into
effect July /,
A total of 1873 packages comprised
the contents of the seventeen sacks.
Immediately upon the receipt of the
mail at the postoffice examination of
the contents of each package was be-
gun by officials of the United States
customs service. Under the terms of
the convention the packages are to he
opened at the port of entry by the Gus
toms officials, the duty for which
eac is liable to be assessed and tabu-
lated, and each parcel, together with
the statement of duty assessed, must
be forwarded to the postoffice of desti-
nation for collection, and the customs
duty is to be returned by the postmas-
ter to the collector.
The entire proceeding involves con-
siderable red tape, especially when the
mail is heavy, but the parcels post
has many distinct advantages, princi-
pal among them being that it enables
the people of both countries to import
goods at the rate of twelve cents per
pound, packages not to exceed four
pounds six ounces in weight.
Nearly all of the packages received
on the Hyades were addressed to New
York city. The nearest and most di-
rect route to the Orient from New
York is by way of Puget sound, and it
is expected that the parcels post will
prove popular innovation from the
beginning.

ARMY ouctES II iuu ioo many - III
forms a Burden.
Washington, Sept. 15.-The general
staff of the army now has under con-
sideration reduction in the number
of uniforms for army officers, which
will undoubtedly meet with the APP
prevail of those interested. For some
time past there has been considera Die
complaint regarding the apparel of
army officers as being altogether too
expensive. 1t constitutes a veritable
tax on the individuals, mny of whom,
especially those of the junior grade,
find it a hardship to provide the vari-
ETY. of dress which is exacted by the
regulations. An army officer must, for
instance, have four pairs of shoes and
six or seven different uniforms for diff
ferent occasions. For one thing it is
proposed to do away with the full dress
coat, heavy and costly garment. In
its place it is proposed to use com
posite blouse, to which would be at
tachede shoulder knots or shoulder
straps, as the occasion required. The
army officer finds his uniform a bur-
den In transportation and great re-
sponsibility and care. Any plan to
reduce the number of uniforms will be
received with approval.
