Washington. The state depart
ment has virtually decided to send
a regiment of troops from Manila to
Chinwingtao, seaport in China. about
ESQ miles from Peking on the Gulf Of
Pechili.
The purpose is to perform an inter
national duty under the Boxer treaty
In keeping open the line OF communi-
cation between Picking and the sea.
Picking. Yuan Shi Kai is die
tator of China, he having accepted
the premiership after persistently de-
Ginning the position for more than a
week. He will assume the duties OF
his office Immediately. II is stated.
The new premier received several
foreign ministers, including the United
States minister to China, William j.
Calhoun, who only recently returned
here. In conversation with foreign
err Yuan Shi Kai said he intended to
form a cabinet Immediately and en-
deavor to carry on the government by
gaining the support of as many prov
inces as possible. allowing the remain
der TO retain their independence for
the time being. 1t would be his en-
deavor also gradually to win back
their allegiance to the throne.
Another important Development in
the capital was the issuance ~ an
edict ordering Hsi-Liang, formerly
viceroy of Manchuria, to assume COM
mand at Jehol, where the summer resi-
dence of the emperor is situated, in
place of Putting, the Tartar general.
This appointment has led to the belief
in certain quarters that the court may
retire to Jehol, leaving Yuan Shi Kali
as chief executive until the opportuni-
ty arrives for the court to reassume a
measure of authority.
San Pao Chi, the viceroy of Shan.
tung, has been elected president of .he
republic which has been proclaimed In
that province His acceptance of this
office is in accordance with the govern
ment's advice, and several other vice
roys have gone with the people In the
hope of influencing the provinces later
to renew their allegiance.
Wu Ting-Fang. secretary of foreign
affairs in the provincial government OF
Shanghai, and other noted reformers
have sent a telegram to the American
charge d'affaires here, asking the good
Offices Of the United States in connec
ton with the delivery of n demand fol
abdication.

Fish Commission Meets.


A conference between the city park
board and members of the state fish
commission was held at Milwaukee on
the proposed fish hatchery which is
likely to be built on the shore Of Lake
Michigan near Mckinley park. The
park commissioners are favorably in.
clined toward the offer of the state au-
thorities.
According to present plans the park
board will grant to the state one acre
Of land en- which a $4,000 hatchery will
be erected. There will be no expense
to the city An aquarium for fish also
may be built in Mckinley, Washington
or Mitchell park.
1t is said that Manitowoc and She
boygan are anxious to get the fish
hatchery, but that Milwaukee is pre-
ferred because of the larger number Of
people who will be able to visit the
place of fish propagation.
Members OF the commission who are
expected to confer with the park
board are former Governor Davidson,
Jabe Afford and Superintendent New
ms, all of Madison.

board to submit the plans of manufac-
turers to assist the city in filling in

AFFAIRS
WILL Be PROBED
N, H. Hatton Declares Many Inn
provements Can Be Made.
BOARD TO TAKE UP MATTER
Ain! to Find > Plan That viii Make
Boys and Girls of Wisconsin Take
Up Education as Keen
Relish.

y Misunderstanding to a statement
made By former Senator W. II. Hat
ton, the state board of public affairs
probably will take up educational mat
tiers in Wisconsin. Hatton is mem
Der of the board. 1T is plain that the
question of educational needs in the
state should be looked into" said Mr..
Hatton. There are many places where
improvement can be made. / have
been giving the subject some attention
and have gathered statistics that indi-i
cate that there is something wrong
somewhere.
1T is shown that in $50 cities Of the
United States out of every loco pu-
pills only 323 go up to the eighth
grade and only fifty-six go into high
schools. Wisconsin is an average
state in every way, and therefore
these statistics would govern here,
speaking generally.
There are no statistics available
relating to the state. but the general
average of the 1000 cities can be
taken.
Further investigation shows that in
Newton, Mass, SO per cent of pupils
get into the eighth grade, while in
Springfield, Mass, only IL per cent.
get into this grade. In Danville, ILL.,,
"a per cent. get into the eighth grade,
while in Chicago only five per cent.
make that grade.
This shows that something can be
done. How do the cities with such
high percentages get the pupils to re-
main up to the higher grades? That
is for us TO discover.
But it is evident there is some way
to make pupils wish to stay in school.
We ought to try and find out what
that way is. There is something
wrong where children do not wish to
go to school. 1t is my opinion that if
you furnish the proper inducements in
the way OF giving children the things
that interest them they will not only
go to school, but will want to stay
there the year round.
II brought this subject to the at
tention Of the members Of the board
at our last meeting and it is probable
that we will take it up after other
things are under way. In no other
way can we benefit the state so much
as in finding plan, if such there be,
that will make the boys and girls of
the state take up education with a
keen relish"
