As superintendent of your
city schools beg leave to sub
NIT the following report:
FRANKLIN ACADEMY.
At the end of the fourth month
there had been enrolled 948 pa
pills, 442 males and sos fem ales.
During these four months pepils
have been moving TO the city and
moving away from the city, and
consequently there has been
constant entering and constant
withdrawing, which have about
balanced. For the four months
there has been an average enroll
ment Of 862, and an average daily
attendance of TAI, the daily at
tendance being 1896 per cent of
the enrolment.
In anticipation of an increased
enrolment your board had pro-
vided one additional teacher, bat
at the opening there appeared SO
many more new pupils than were
expected that the urgent need of
another teacher was apparent.
Your board added another teach
er who was assigned work in the
primary department. During
the four months just closed there
has been to each teacher an aver
age enrolment of As and an aver
age daily attendance of -.
Pupils.
After the long vacation the pu-
pills were awkward in getting in
to the harness again. The free
dom and lack of restraint for
nearly four months seemed to
have demoraIiz ed them more
than usual, and for awhile there
was some friction, but all is now
aud has been for three months
working smoothly.
There are enrolled this session
quite a large class of the tenth
grade pupils; there being enroll
ed in this grade SO pupils, Is
males and 81 females. Since the
beginning we have lost three
from this grade, making tie
tenth grade class now 36 The
tenth grade of next session,
which is the ninth grade of this
session, will, if they remain with
US, be the largest tenth grade we
have ever had; there are enrolled
in the"present ninth grade IS pa
pills, 30 males and 40 females. If
we could hold our pupils in
school so that we would have rs
to finish each year, we would
feel that our schools were per-
forming their mission Of prepar-
ing our children for life.
TEACHERS.
The teachers all returned to
their work refreshed by the va
cation and improved by the
change of work during the sum-
mer. They are Jealous and
faithful; each and all have plenty
to do and are hopeful of doing it
well. The prevalence of grippe
in our community however has
had its effect upon the teaching
force; several at time have been
stricken, and we have had to call
into service unframed supply
teachers. We trust that these
physical troubles are now past
and that there may be with US all
the hopefulness and confidence
that comes from good health.

PROPERTY.

1t gives me pleasure to report
that the Union Academy proper
ty is in almost perfect condition.
There has been no repair bill
on this property since it was
turned over to the city by the
contractors. This seems to me
to show: The wisdom of the
Mayor and City Council in build
ing well, the faithfulness of the
contractors, and the apprecia-
ton of the buildings by the Occu-
pants.
RESUME.
The buildings for the whites
are about full, the attendance is
about equal to their capacity, and,
if there come a large class of be-
ginners when that class is organ
lied on Monday, January Both.
we will have a crowded condi-
ton. We have no other room
for additional teaching force.
The text book work as pre-
scribed by your board has been
faithfully followed; the amount
required up to date has been
done, and we are hopeful of hav-
ing it all done for the session as
outlinedsby your board.
We are very thankful for the
general good health of our com,
munity: the work has not been
hindered by the presence of any
contagious disease and we have
had nothing worse to contend
than the usual ailments that be-

LORD CURZON RESIGNS.
Earl Of Mimic Appointed to Succeed
Him as Viceroy of India.

London, Aug. 21.-The resignation
OF Lord Curzon of Kedleston as vice
rcy Of India and the appointment OF
the earl Of Mimic as his successor was
announced at the India office last
night.
According to correspondence, which
is issued in the form of White book,
1t appears that Lord Curzon's resigna-
ton was cabled to that Office on Aug.
II. The correspondence shows de-
cidedly bitter feeling between Lord
Curzon, the India Office and Lord
Kitchener, commander-in-chie of the
forces in India, over the new plan of
army administration in India. Lord
Curzon's dissatisfaction came to a
head with the refusal of the cabinet
to appoint Major-General Sir Edmund
Barrow, on Lord Curzon's recommen-
dation, military supply member Of the
council.

Accepted by President.

oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 23.-Edwin
II. Conger of Iowa has resigned his
post as American ambassador to Mex
leo, to take effect Oct. IS next. and
President Roosevelt has accepted the
resignation.
Mr.. Conger's retirement from the
diplomatic service was foreshadowed
In these dispatches last week. 1t was
indicated then that he might be sent
to Pekin as special commissioner of
the president to adjust, If possible, the
differences which have arisen between
this country and China over the boy
colt of American goods by some of
the Chinese commercial guilds. While
no official statement is obtainable here
regarding that mission, there are rea-
sons for the statement that 1t either
has teen abandoned by the president
or that it has been declined by Mr..
Conger. At any rate, 1t is believed
Mr.. Conger will not go to China

PRESIDENT SOLVES It
Points Way to How Warning Nation:
May Reach Peace.
EeAlN RESTS WITH THE czAE
Russia's Honor Could BE Maintained
No Cession of Territory or Paying
of Indemnity, Vet Japan Would &c
Remunerated For Cost of War.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug 23.-The AS
ISOLATED Press is now in a position &c
reveal substantially the suggestion OF
President Roosevelt for breaking the
existing deadlock In the peace nego
tiations and rescuing the conference
from failure. His solution would in
geniously permit the satisfaction oil
the Japanese demands for reimburse,
ment for the cost of the war, and al
the same time enable Russia to face
the world with the declaration that
she had not coded foot of territory
or paid kopec Of war tribute to the
victor The solution is the one which
has heretofore been described in the
Associated Press dispatches as the
natural and logical compromise.
Repurchase sakhalln.
Tersely stated, 1t consists in an
agreement by Russia to re-purchase
possession Of either all or half of the
island Of Sakhalin now in the military
occupation Of Japan for sum, the
amount of which IL the two countries
cannot agree, shall be decided by some
method of arbitration hereafter to be
determined.
The purchase money, together with
the sum Japan would obtain from the
cession of the Chinese Eastern rail
road and the maintenance of the Rus
sian prisoners in Japan would, it is
estimated, about equal the amount
claimed by Japan as her bill for the
cost of the war.
Japan Willing.
Practically, therefore, the solution
offered by the president involves re-
cession by japan upon article (the
cession of Sakhalin) and recession by
Russia upon article (indemnity).
1t seems practically certain, though
this cannot be affirmed positively,
that the president Tuesday was able
to give Mr.. White substantial assur-
ance that Japan would be willing to
accept such compromise. This is ap-
parently supported by the authorita-
tive Japanese statement made to the
Associated Press last night in the re-
ply TO question as to whether Japan
had not decided to make substantial
concessions:
at all depends upon Russia"
1t is presumed that the presidents
proposition was sumbitted to the en-
peror of Russia Tuesday, and the
czar's reply is now looked for.

WHY "CHEAPEST MARKET p"
Panama Canal Should lie American
From beginning to End.

From beginning To End.
If the president and Secretary Taft
have decided that purchase Of supplies,
machinery, vessels and other materials
used in the construction Of the Panama
canal shall be made in the cheapest
market" they have taken step which
is squarely against the national policy
and which should be retraced without
delay.
If such decision should not be re-
scinded, it would be the duty OF con-
gress to interfere at the first moment
possible and lay down the rule that
American manufacturers, merchants
and producers should have the prefer
ence in the purchases for the canal.
There is no reason why the govern.
ment should have the privilege of buy.
Ing in the cheapest market when that
privilege Is refused to the citizen. There
is, on the contrary, every reason why
American citizens should have the
preference in the making of the pur-
chases for this great American enter
prise. They are paying the cost Of it.
Tho Incidental benefit which the bust
ness of its construction may afford
should not be lost to the American peo-
pie.
To follow any other course is to put
double tax on the Countrywide direct
tax Of the cost of the canal and the in
direct tax due to the stimulation OF
foreign Industries ut Americans ex-
pense.
1t should be an American enterprise
from beginning to end. The whole
world will get the benefit Of the unre-
strained use of it. To Great Britain
particularly 1t will be great CONNER
clal boon. There is absolutely no rea-
son why we should make it fatten
