RUSSIAN WOOL DUTIES.
General Appraisers Pass New Rating
on Different Grades.

The board of United States general
appraisers has rendered a decision dur
ing the past week, with reference to
"a large line of carpet wool imported
by William H. Harris of Boston, Mass,
from Stucken & Company of Tiflis,
which reverses previous decision of
General Appraiser Sharretts, and
which sustains Appraiser Smelling OF
Boston, by whom the case had been
appealed to the full board, says a Bos-
ton wool review.
The decision by the United States
board of general appraisers is that the
wool Is dutiable at the higher rate, or
seven cents, instead of four cents, per
pound, as It was worth more than IL
cents per pound in the market from
which it was exported, at the time ii
was shipped.
The tariff specifically states that on
woods of the third class, the value
whereof shall exceed IL cents per
pound, the duty shall be seven cents;
and that on woods of the third class,
the value whereof shall be 12 cents
or less per pound, the duty shall be
four cents.
The contention was as to the value
of the wool, the importer claiming
that it was not in excess of IL cents
at the time of shipment. The govern
ment, however, has ruled that it was
worth more than IL cents: hence the
higher duty is imposed, instead of the
lower
The high values resulted party from
the war with Japan, and although the
wool was bought long before it was
clipped, and some money paid on it in
advance, the price paid was immater'
al to the customs officials in the as
Isessment of duties, the basis of compu-
tation being the wholesale market
value in Russia at the time of ship
ment.
The wool in question was of last sea-
sons clip and was exported between
October /, 1904, and January 10 OF
this year. 1t was Georgian autumn
wool, and was invoiced by the importer
as possessing values which would

M'BRIEN WITH TEACHERS
State Superintendent Tells what
PedaEORue of Future
should BE.

State Superintendent ]. L. McBrien
described his Impressions of the teacher of
the future to more than 400 instructors
representing the faculty of the Omaha
public schools at the organization meeting
held Monday morning at the city hall
Superintendent Davidson waived the Gus
tomary address to the teachers and invited
Mr.. MoBrien to offer the words of in
spiration and encouragement in his stead.
Mr.. McBren read his prepared lecture op
the subject, which has received much praise
wherever delivered.
When he referred to Superintendent
Davidson and High School Principal Water
house in a complimentary way as among
the teachers OF the present who should not
be forgotten, the audience applauded
vigorously.
THE teacher Of the future" said su-
perintendent McBrien, will be the teacher
Of the present improved by social, intel
lectual and moral evolutions. We have
not reached the best. There is always
something better higher up. The teacher
of the future will be the best citizen
Of the commonwealth and l make no dis
tinctions or exceptions as to sex"
Among the attributes of the pedagogue
to come he enumerated these things: Pa
| triotism, faith in humanity, pleasing per-
sonality. captivating appearance; health
| strength and knowledge OF hygiene; ex-
! qusite dressing, ability to teach not a little
OF many things. but much of u few things
| salary commensurate with worth, gaining
and holding positions Of merit alone not
| adventurers or reckless pretenders'
equipped with full professional training
not crAmmed with knowledge. but able tC
obtain knowledge of any, kind quickly
! when wanted; unwavering fidelity to truth
In all things.
To tighten his Discourse the state super
intendent told several stories of how littl,
prepared some applicants trained in norma
and other schools were when they took ex
aminations under him for certificates IL
Nebraska.
"one young woman. who had taught in
high school, was asked to give her view
on the race problem" said he. "she wrote
They are trying to solve the airship rac
problem at St. Louis. 1 know very littl
about the horse race problem and car
| less.
Another defined the brain as a soft sub
stance at the top of the body protected b.
the hair"
He recommended the use of magazines
and other publications to teachers in tn
schools.
Only about a dozen Of the teachers falet
to report or send excuses why they wer
not ready for the opening of schools thi
morning. In few cases sickness mad

but in general the teaching stan is o.

BRYAN ON TREATY OF PEACE
Differs with Mark Twain's View that
It Strikes Death Blow at Rus
sian Internal Reforms.

Il DO not agree with Mark Twain that
the peace settlement strikes a death blow
at possible internal reforms in Russia"
said William ], Bryan, who came TO
Omaha this morning to address union labor
at Courtland Beach. For my part have
never believed in the employment of vio-
lence to gain reforms no matter how good.
The best reforms come by other methods.
The news OF the peace settlement caused
me to rejoice ana l still feel that way
about 1t. History shows that when better
social conditions have been obtained
through bloodshed the cost has produced
effects which could have been avoided and
the good secured without the evil. For in
stance. think OF the difference TO this
country n President Lincoln's plan for a
peaceful emancipation OF the slaves had
been followed instead of the awful loss OF
life and vast expenditures OF money that
went with the civil war. II I am not
much mistaken our country sustained a
loss that required many years 70 make up.
Mr.. Bryan expressed pleasure at having
the opportunity to talk to union laboring
men and declared Labor day full OF the
greatest significance. He said he recog-
nized the demonstration is one largely
for the eight-hour day. that he favors
this move and intends to advocate IL 70
the best of his ability.
Mrs, Bryan and the youngest daughter
will arrive in Nebraska from a European
trip early next week and Wall be met by
Mr.. Bryan in Omaha. After a short visit
home they will leave with Mr.. Bryan and
the youngest child for a long tour OF
the orient and Europe, The family will
sail September n on the Manchuria from
San Francisco, landing first in Japan
about October l5 All the principal east
ern countries will be seen and something
like year will be spent on the trip

well supplied with sheep SO far this season,
but heavier receipts are expected IRON
