Prompt and Complete Reports from

Prompt and Complete Reports from
Them.
Special TO Times Republican.
Dubuque, Sept. 13.-There are nearly
thirty private schools in Dubuque
county and there has been consider
able trouble in getting the required
reports from some of these institutions.
County superintendent P. J. Schroed-
er has grown tired of the dilatory way
in which some of his inquiries have
been treated and has given the heads
of these schools warning that in the
future reports must not only be prompt
but complete. and contain all the in
formation asked for.
BY law, the county superintendent ia
obliged to give complete report Of
all the pupils in the schools, both pri-
vate and public. In order to do so
he has made special blank, contains
ing all the desired questions, and a
copy thereof will be sent TO every pri-
waite school in the county, with a re-
quest that every question be answered.
II understand that the heads Of these
private schools think that the county
superintendent is meddling when he
asks for the number of children that
are enrolled" said Schroeder to-
day. Nothing is further from
my mind. Il am only doing my
duty, carrying out the state law.
In the past, these returns have
not been as complete as l desired.

as compared with other cities of the
state. When the lists are published,
the editorial writer's get busy and
notes. can not understand
how Dubuque can have so large a gen.
eral population and SO small a school
enrolment. This is very obvious to
Dubuque people, because about half OF
the children of Dubuque county are
educated in the Catholic schools and
in the schools of other denominations.
If the principals of these schools will
only bear in mind that in making these
returns they are advancing the inter-
ests of Dubuque they will not hesi-
tate to send in the information that I
desire. The figures are sent to the
state executive department and are
then compiled and published in the
Iowa Directory which has large cir
culation"

months ago in the height Of the war

cause no trouble over the peace terms.
He thinks himself they are altogether
too easy on the Russians, but sums up
the situation in this sentence. "The
government has acted; that settles it."
He says the Japanese do not think of
fighting their government. Things are
sometimes done by their superiors
which they do not fully approve of,
but they accept their governments
rulings. He said the talk Of an up
rising is nonsense. The young Jap is

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Aug. Il.
There WIS a good supply of cattle
Mt all points last week and prices gem
orally lower than the week before.
Eastern markets report good choice
:ornfed beef steers about steady, butall
other grades note very material de-
cline. On the local market there was
very few OF the choice kind offered and
prices were very nearly steady on best
beef steers at the close. Common kinds
were about quarter lower. Cows con-
stituted the bulk of the supply. as las
been the case for several weeks.
There were only few loads of good
ones noticed. however, and the trad
ing was draggy on the common stuff.
Good cows are weak to 25
cents lower, with common stuff
showing a decline Of about 40 cents.
Best grass steers sold up to $500 dur
In the week with the bulk at 1925 to
$3.s5. Cows sold up to $500, but 1t
took good ones TO bring this price, and
the most of the sales were made
around s225 to $2G5. Bulls were
about steady and veal calves strong to
a dime higher. The supply of feeders
and stockers was light and trading
quiet. The demand was fair but not
heavy. Prices at the close were 25 to
30 cents lower in sympathy with the
eastern decline. Very few country
buyers are showing up as yet at any of
the markets. as it is still very hot In
the East and flies are bad, and feeder
buyers are not ready to stock up. In
dications are that there will be more
buyers on this market a little later in
the season than ever before, however,
and trading is expected to be good
While the decline here looks large.
eastern markets show a still larger de-
probation and practically everything
forwarded from here has lost money
1t has been no uncommon thing this
week for shippers to sell out at the
river for 25 to SO cents less money
than they paid here.
Hogs have been in good supply and
the market unchanged from last week
with $6.05 still representing about the
top. The demand is fair
The trade in sheep was light, as only
a few arrived. All offerings sold un-
der very good demand at strong
prices, and quotations are higher than
they were a week ago. Good demand
here for limited number of killers.

TRANsMlsslssIPPI CONGRESS.
Chinese Exclusion Law and Its Re-
suits Chief Topic of Discussion.

Portland. Ore, Aug. 1S.-The Trans,
mississippi Congress opened here
Wednesday and at once the Chinese
exclusion law and its results came up
for discussion. Governor Chamber
lain of Oregon had hardly finished the
perfunctory welcome to the congress
when he launched an emphatic dictum
to the effect that while the commercial
interests of China are valuable. the In
tuX OF horde of Chinese coolies into
the Pacific coast states is too high a
price to pay for it, and this, he said in
effect, would be the result if the ex-
Clusion laws were not administered
with The utmost stringency.
Though not so emphatic in his Dec
larations, Governor Mead expressed
similar views on the subject. The rep
resentatives in the congress Of Ore
gon and Washington heartily ap
planded this sentiment, but the Cali
fornlans. whose metropolis is credited
with almost monopoly of the $780,
OOU,00O import trade of China, were
conspicuously silent.
That the better classes Of Chinese
are disseminated against to an unwar-
ranted extent, that less stringent ad-
miniStration of the exclusion law, or II
necessary. a limited reconstruction, is
advisable. was urged by the speakers
on oriental trade at the second days
session of the Transmissssippi Com
mercial congress to-day.
These ideas wIre brought out with
especial force by Hon. John II. Barrett,
United States Minister to Colombia,
and Theodore B. Wilcox, president of
the congress.
Mr. Barrett, during the course OF his
address, emphasized the point that 1t
is not to compel the Introduction Of
Coolie labor which the Chinese are
demonstrating against, but quite the
contrary. The boycott is remon-
STRANGE because the sons of noblemen,
refined and well educated gentlemen,
are held in the detention quarters by
unwise immigration officials at our
ports of entry for period of ten days
at time. and compelled to herd with
the lowest classes of their country
men during that time.
The congress listened to a number
of addresses on various topics.
