JAPANESE Demands
REFUSED BY Chinese

Mukden, Sept. l4.-For two months
the persistent demands of Japanese
for concessi ons of forests, mines, lands,
salt houses and other things desired
have been stubbornly refused by the
Chinese viceroy and governor. In
consequence of his ill success, the
Japanese consul general has been
transferred to another point, the strug-
gle in the meantime being abandoned,
though reprisals are threatened. The
Chinese conducted the negotiations
with great ability, indicating restora-
ton of self-confdence and an intelli-
gent perception of political conditions,
national rights being recognized and
defended without fear.
Great progress has been made in all
departments of the government con.
cerned in Manchuria and a strong
army of 40, 600 men is safeguarding
the future peace Of the country.
The Japanese population and COM

Committee OF Educators Suggests Some
Radical Changes.
New York, Sept. 16.-An investiga.
tion conducted by committee Of the
Brooklyn Teachers Association, re-
port of which has just been published,
shows that the educators throughout
the United States favor a system Of
promotion by subjects instead Of by
grades in the second grade schools,
and believe that a liberal education
course should be devised to take fit.
teen years In its completion, instead Of
sixteen years as at present. 1t is likely
that an effort will be made to lay the
matter before the National Educa.
tional Association at an early date,
and have that body take official action.
The reforms suggested would mean a
revolution of the school systems
throughout the country.
In the Investigation, questions were
sent to educators throughout the coun'
try, and answers we're received from
every state and territory, and also
Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland
Russia, Turkey and Japan.
The new proposition is to introduce
an intermediate school between tne
primary and grammar schools and 70
have the course in each school extenu
over three years.

CONSTITUTION Wins
OUT In OKLAHOMA

Oklahoma City, Sept. 18.-Oklaho-

by majority all the way from $4,000
to 70, 1000, state wide prohibition has
carried, and G. N. Haskell, Democrat
has been elected governor of the new
state, according to reports received up
to 1880 O'Clock this morning. In
every precinct there were three ballots
for the voter to mark. In Oklahoma
City there were four, and the count
ing process has been extremely slow.
The ratification of the constitution
is conceded, although the majority
was not as large as was expected.
The majority in favor Of prohibition
is placed at IS, 900 to 10000. Chair.
man Cassidy, Of the Democratic COM
mittee, estimates it at $4,000 and ap.
proximately the same figures are given
out at Republican headquarters.
Seven precincts in Gov. Franz's
home town give Franz 1853 and Has
kell 1872, and it is announced from
there that the entire county is going
in about the same ratio. This Is q
disappointment to the Republicans.

The voting was very heavy. Sew.

The convention that framed the
state constitution was heavily Demo.

pleted was odious to the Republicans.
Secretary Taft, speaking recently at
Oklahoma City, advised the Republi.
cans to vote against the constitution.
Because of the strong desire fol
statehood, however, the Republican
party did not attempt to defeat the
constitution. The. new state must

constitution of the United States.
In the enabling act, congress provid.

tory for twenty. one years from Janu-
airy l. 1906. The prohibition clause
voted or yesterday applies the same
provision to the Oklahoma side of the
new state. If it has carried, as seems
certain, statewide prohibition will be
a part of the constitution for twenty.
one years, and at the end of that per.

unless repealed.
