Plan of Organization.
The plan of the organization is explained
in the following statement:
1.-THE school city is nothing more nor less
than American citizenship for little chill
dren and older students. Essential to this
is independent thought and action on the
part of the pupils or students of any school,
the observance of the golden rule and par
tictpatfon in ones own government and
the government of the community of which
he is part. Its spirit is that expressed in
the Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution. Its plan of government is
that provided for in the Constitution of the
United States, which requires that the three
powers-leg islative, executive and judicial
shall be separate.
In the school city, or republic, all the
pupils are citizens, with equal rights, who
elect an executive and Judge, and from
each room one or two members of a legis-
latfve body. No other officers and machn-
cry are necessary. The plan, however, Is
very elastic. The teachers who use the
method may add to the list of offices and
officers. as circumstances suggest and rem
der desirable. Generally, in the organizing
the following officers are added to those
named above: City clerk. clerk of court,
sheriff and treasurer"

governor. The secretary believes that
complications would arise II he as
sumed the government jointly with
Mr.. Bacon. Mr. Taft's assumption of
the governorship will be in his capac-
ity as secretary Of war and not as
peace commissioner. His programme
would be consistent with that pre-
viously announced. in that the occupa-
ton of Cuba would only be for period
covering the holding Of new general
elections and the establishment Of a
new government On firm basis.
After comforting with Messrs. Taft
and Bacon for an hour Senator Zayas
said that Mr.. Taft had received let
ter from Senator Dola, president Of the
senate. proposing that the Liberals
and Moderates negotiate together, as
proposed Wednesday. through commit
tees Of six. representing each party,
but suggesting that II differences
arise the negotiations cease entirely.
Commenting on this Senor Zayas
said that inasmuch as differences
must arise he sees no use of even be-
ginning the negotiations.

disquieting information regarding the
agrarian disorders. which, In spite OF
the prompt and widespread publica-
ton OF the administrators agrarian
concessions, appears to be entering on
a graver phase than last autumn,
comes from the provinces of Saratov

tions Of many communities have for.

the rural police are resigning In great
numbers; landowners are disposing OF
their estates at Gny sacrifice and land
values have decreased from $50 to SIC

ST. Petersburg, Sept 28.-The Asso
cfated Press has been informed that
Lieutenant General Stoessel. who com
manded the Russian forces at Port
Arthur. has submitted his resignation
from the army. II Is understood that
II will be accepted, thereby ending
the history OF the surrender Of the
fortress without its indescribable dis
closures which would result from a
formal courtmartial. The generals
resignation is said to have been due
to the initiative Of the emperor. After
reading the report Of the commission
appointed to investigate the surrender
OF Port Arthur. recommending that
Stoessel be dismissed from the army
and shot, his majesty expressed his
aversion to any further discussion OF
the subject In open court. II Is not
known whether Lieutenant General
Fock, who commanded the East Sibe
rian division at Port Arthur. and the
other officers concerned will accept
the alternative of standing trial.

Washington. Sept. 28.-Hope of
peace In Cuba was revived among
army and navy officers in Washington
~ the Havana dispatches announcing
that Secretary Taft's plain dealing
with President Palma and other Mod
crate leaders has caused them to con-
slider treating with the insurgents.
Many Of the officers now say they be-
lieve the United States will be able to
restore peace without sending a single
American soldier to Cuba and this
opinion seems to be gaining ground
rapidly.
Preparations for meeting any emer-
gency which may arise in Cuba have
not been abated In the least. All COM
mercial ships which might be used by
the war department in sending troops
to Cuba are being watched carefully
by army officers and fifty ships could
be drafted into service at an hours
notice were this action to become nee
essary. Steamers are arriving at all
