now he will remain in Washington in
definitely. Mr. Wang will not go to
China before assuming the duties of his
new post, but will wait for his creden-

rectly TO London
Sir Chentung said II was a mistake

coincidence of his coming TO the United
States at the time when the plans for
the peace conference were being made.
Mr.. Wang. added the minister.

gress. the upper house VIII at once
plunge into the discussion of railroad
rate bill IN compliance with the views
expressed by President Roosevelt in
his message to the last Congress.
Senator Allison believes that, while
the committee has variant Views con-
cerning the fixing of railroad rates, the
differences will be composed so as TO
result In an effective measure, ana one
which will conform to President Roose-
velt's ideas. Senator Allison points 10
the fact that, inasmueh as the suoJect
has no political flavor. an agreement
may be more readily reached through
the absence OF party feeling.

who are interested in the welfare OF
our schools. The baccalaureate ser.
mon will be delivered by Rev. Her.
bert H. Brown, at Presbyterian
church on Sunday, May l3, at p. IN.
Owing to the prevailing spirit in
Grants Pass. as in other towns, the
graduating class is exceptionally small
in proportion to the enrolment, there
being but two in the graduating class,
Magaret Scoville and Ruth Scoville.
The feverish haste of so many boys
and girls to get into the worlds ac-
tivities so depletes the advance classes
that by the time the last grade is
reached, there is hardly boy left and
but few girls to take commencement
honors. Pure shiftlessness on the part
of scholars who desire TO shirk school
and the greed of parents who want
their boys and girls to go to work at
some vocation, is also leading factor
in this high school depletion. The
Eighth grade in the Grants Pass
schools is able to make a very credit
able showing owing to the persistent
work of the teachers. This class num-
bers 10 and there will be a number of
new members from the Seventh grade
who are to take the examination OH
May IS. The present class roll is as
follows:
Louise Birdsall, Claude Cheshire,
Bessie Cole, Claude Davis, Charles

Hathaway, Florence Lamar, Ada

Teachers Institute.

The Josephine County Teachers
Institute closed its sessions this Fri
day afternoon. The attendance was
larger than usual, there being some
20 teachers present. The instr Iuctors
were. State Superintendent ]. II. Ack-
erman, President B. f. Mulkey, of
the Southern Oregon Normal at
Ashland. and Prof. @. II. Jones of
Salem, editor of the Oregon Teachers
Monthly and the success Of the in
stitute, which was conceded by the
teachers to be one Of the best ever
held IN Josephine county was due
very largely to them. Wedne sday
evening President Mulkey gave an
address at the opera house that was
well attended by the teachers and by
a few residents of Grants Pass. And
Thursday evening Superintendent
Alderman was to have given an ad-
dress at the opera house, but to the
circus being in town and to lodges
and other gatherings held on that
evening, there were but two-thirds
OF the teachers present and only two
citizens of Grants Pass. County
superintendent Savage concluded that
the outlook was too discouraging aud
dld not call the meeting 70 order.
Both Superintendent Ackerman and
President Mulkey are able speakers
and thoroughly posted on all matters
pertaining TO schools and their ad.
dresses would have been we'll worth
the effort for the citizens of Grants
Pass, who are interested in the cause
OF education to have attended.
