The Improvident
Little West In
dian Republic.
~o@~

bloOdshed in their periodical revolu-
tons They are for the most part
mula ttoes Of Spanish and negro origin.
The few Spanish families that have
not interningled with the prevailing
type constitute the aristocracy of the
republic and hold themselves lofuly
aloof from their less fortunate neigh
bors.
Education in its proper sense Is
practically unknown. The average
dominican has not yet awakened to
the necessity Of adding to the knowl-
edge with which nature has endowed
him. The mulatto population, number
ing at least half million, Is not in
clined to be quarrelsome. but trouble
is fomented by political trlcksters who
are trying constantly to obtain an OPP
portunity to loot the public trea sury.
The people are for the most part in
dustrious and patient, submitting to
continual misgovernment and official
peculation with remarkable good ma
ture.

are far from sufficient to maintain the

fact that large proportion Of the le-

All the officials are the personal ap-

his interests. Judging from the past.
the chief object of each admnistra-
ton has been to mulct the people Of

that they will choose to walk in their
footsteps ever after. 1t Is certain that
the Dominicans are ardent admirers
Of the greater republic.
The island on which the republic Of
Santo Domingo is established Is, next
to Cuba, the largest Of the West In
dies. One third Of its area is devoted
to the republic of Haiti, and the re-
nainder constitutes Santo Domingo,
These contiguous republics are often
confused, but they are quite disslm-
liar in most features. The Dominicans
are much more refined and circum-
spect in their ways than their neigh
bors and are less addicted TO actual

POVERTY IN ENGLAND.
Statistics Show Every FOrtieth Per-
son Receives Pubic Aid.

London, March 2l.-Every fortieth
person resident in England and Wales
is pauper, supported at the expense
of the rates. In London one person in
every thirty six is pauper.
Such is the startling fact shown in
return of pauperism in England and
Wales, just issued by the local govern
ment board by order of the house of
commons
The figures given show the mum Der

end of January to have been 1913, S54,
the highest total on record since 1878.
Only once in the intervening thirty
two years was the number above $780,
900. This was in 1881, when the to-
tai reached S04 $40.

fruits, sugar cane. coffee. vanilla, rub

TOLSTOI ON REFORMS.
Renewal of the State Impossible
without Individual Reform.

st. Petersburg, March 2l.-Count
Tolstoi, in an interview, reiterates at
length his views OF the inefficiency of
the proposed government reforms. He
says;
This striving for renewal of the
state is impossible until the people
have within themselves the image Of
the living God. Civilization has be-
come savage. When the war with ia
pan Is finished there will be war with
India for Thibet. Human happiness is
only attainable when each individual
will do his utmost, one in the work
shop, another in the field, and another
to compose sonnets; it only matters
that each fulfills his duty, creates
something. Positive rest will come of
itself. Reform is of little value Wen
humanity is savage"

eliminating the ever present tendency
to revolutionize at the slightest pre-
text, seems to be a wonderful capacity
to get into debt and corresponding
incapacity to get out again.
The national debt of the tiny mulat-
to republic now amounts TO the re-
spectacle total OF S33.OOO.0O0, which in
considera ton OF the comparatively I'M
important figure cut by SantO Do

Large Quantities of Gold Adjoining

Nome, Alaska, March 2O.-The dis
covery of gold in paying quantities in
the tundra adjoining and under the
TOWNSHIP of Nome, is turning out rich

The gold is of the beach variety,

waste dirt on top of the pay streak.

Breathing Spaces in Cities.

American cities have grown rapidly.
They have also grown irregularly and
according to no system. BY the time
the residents in them have come to
recognize the Importance of spacious
parks, wide streets. uniform buildings,
the benefits of boulevards along river
and lake fronts, the opportunities to
acquire the necessary land are either
gone or the expense involved is a

RAGE DIGESTION
 TROUBLES KANSAS
NEGRO PUPILS ARE REFUSED ADMISSION TO THE WHITE SCHOOLS OF SEVERAL CITIES IN THE STATE.

 Kansas City. Kan, September n.-Ne- gro pupils were refused admission to lhe white High school at Kansas City hah'' and the ward school at Bonner Springs Kan, ten miles distant, today In poln cases the negroes withdrew quietly anu there was no show of a clash.
 In Kansas City. Kan, it is said the ne groes will test the case in the courts. Ane Kansas legislature last winter passed an act separating the races in the Kan sas City schools, a direct result Of agl- tation following the murder of white boy by a negro pupil. Bonds were voted lo build school for the negroes, and pend ing the erection of the structure the board of education planned to have two sessions daily at the white school that m the morning for the white children ana the session in the afternoon for the ne- groes. The negroes objected, preferring 10 sit with the whites.
 At Bonner Springs the school board ar ranged separate rooms for the whites ana negroes, but in this the negroes again oo- jected, protesting that they should oe- cupy rooms simultaneously with the white children At Bonner Springs the negro children were accompanied to school py their parents.

NO PROPOSALS YET
 MADE BY GERMANS
Hope Is Expressed That Commercial Treaty Can Soon Be Agreed On
 With United States.

Cologne, Rhennish Russia, September 1.-The Cologne Gazette in an inspired dispatch from Berlin, corrects a report cabled to one of the Berlin news papers from New York, asserting that President Roosevelt had written to Baron Spec von Sternberg, the German ambas- sador at Washington. informing him that the concessions offered to the United States by Germany were insufficient to induce the United States government to make a commercial treaty with Germany, because the United States would be giving up more than 1t would receive.
 The paper denies that any such letter has been written or that Germany has all ready made specific offers to the govern ment at Washington.
 The German authorities, the dispatch goes on to say. are working assiduously upon the preliminary preparations for treaty negotiations. Data regarding the wishes of interested parties are being col lected, and several of the imperial Prus- sian ministers will soon begin work on this material. The authorities will then decide definitely as to what position they will take in the forthcoming negotiations.
 In conclusion the dispatch says:
 Tn view of the extraordinary impor- tance which German American trade re- lations have for the business of the na- ton In living on a friendly footing with each other, one may reckon with confi- dence upon success in the making of a treaty which will form the basis of ami cable relations between Germany and the United States for many years."

TO USE MANCHURIA
 AS AN EXPERIMENT
Educated chinaman Has Unique Idea for the Development of the War
 Devastated Country.

Washington, September 11-United States Consul Gracey at Ranking. China, reports to the state department that he has had an interesting conversation with MT. Lao Tsung Yao Tusag, of the bureau at the Liang Kiang province.
 MT. Lao the consul states, is highly educated Chinese gentleman, a graduate of the middle temple" in England, and has been admitted to the English bar.
 MT. Lao informed Consul Gracey that he had had several discussions with the viceroy regarding the ultimate fate of Manchuria should this territory be re- turned to China on the termination of the present trouble. MT. Lao has sug- gested the advisability of placing Man churia in the position of an experimental ground. He recognizes the effort toward reform which Is being so strenuously made by the government and has suggest ed and discussed with the viceroy the use of Manchuria as a testing ground for the reforms, such as opening the country to foreign commerce, granting mining and railway concessions reform ing the judicial and monetary systems, etc. The viceroy, he was told, was much impressed with this idea.
