PEKINC TEACHERS
ARE ON A STRIKE
Higher Education Is Completely Tied
as Result of WaIkout
az Lac AssocIated PRESS

SsJ
PICKING, July 9.-Higher education
In Peking, halted by strike of teach
ers and administrative officials in all
March, appears now to have come to a
complete standstill through resigna-
ton enbloc Of the strikers.
Inability to secure payment OF over
due salaries was the cause of the
strike. Failure of the government 20
meet subsequent demands, embracing
establishment of reliable fund suf-
ficient to ensure financial stability of
the. schools and colleges, was the rea-
son for the designations.
Eight hundred teachers and 5000
students are directly affected by clos
ing of the schools. The students made
common cause with the Instructors
and declared that they would not re-
sumo attendance until the taeche-s'
demands were met.
Recently, after the minister of ed
ucation had rendered his resignation
because of inability to remedy the
plight of the schools, the ministry of
finance let 1t be understood that the
sum of S250,OOO monthly would be
available for educational purposes.
Thereupon the minister withdrew his
resignation and the teachers were in
clined to resume their vocations. They
held off for satisfactory guarantees,
however, and misunderstanding arose
when it developed that the sum pro-
posed by the ministry of finance was
intended to cover expenses of the min
istry of education in addition to ex-
penses of the schools, whereas the
students and teachers demanded $780,
goo monthly for the higher schools
alone.
The minister Of education renewed
his demand to be relieved and his re-
signation was accepted. The teachers
continued petitioning the premier and
the ministry of finance without re-
suit. AT a meeting of the "joint teach
ers' counciP' an organization growing
out of the strike, when it was re-
solved to resign in a body the in
structors determined, if possible, to fl
nance the schools Independently Of
the government.
II this cannot be done in Peking,"
the resolution recited, there are other
places that would welcome us with
open arms. If necessary we shall go
forth as private citizens and undertake
to see that education throughout the
land continues"
A manifesto to the public issued by
the teachers, says in part:
In the past few years the political
situation has become more confused
and turbulent than ever. The militar-
lists are fighting for individual power
and the unity Of the country is thing
of the past. During this critical period
the only thing that has kept the ma
ton from falling to pieces has been
the school and by the school we mean
education, and development of educa-
ton. The government, if 1t had any
real sincerity would appreciate this
and would do its best to protect those
educators who have been fighting to
maintain the spirit of the nation. We
do not propose to sit idly by and see
the nation fall to pieces because of.
party strife

GALVESTON, Texas, July 9.-The
.ong continued breakdown of agricul-

counts for the golden stream of mid
lie western wheat that is flowing
through this port to Europe at the

COTTON

NEW YORK, Nov. l6.-The easier ruling
of Liverpool and unfavorable Lancashire
trade reports appeared chiefly responsible
for an opening decline of 10 to 20 points in
the cotton market today. In addition to
local or commission house selling there was
some scattering southern selling, but the
offerings were not large and prices steadied
mn after the call as result of renewed COW
ering which was probably promoted by re-
ports of better opening tone i'll the STOCK

Washington advices indicating that the PINK
boil worm had been discovered in one of the
larger producing counties of Texas. jan
nary contracts rallied from 1872 to 1T. 90
and March from 49, 80 to 1866, or about

For a time the buying was rather more
confident and aggressive than recently, ana
the advance to 1900 for January. or 10

GRAIN

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Wheat was strong
early in the session today but prices broke
sharply after mid-session. There was lack
of pressure at the opening and covering
by overnight shorts caused a good upturn.
The fact that the rains forecast failed to
materialize lent strength to the market
and there was some buying based on a
report from Winnipeg to the effect that
heavy charters had been made between New
York vessel interests and the acific-Al-
berta elevator company to transport grain
from Vancouver to Liverpool at a rate of
$500 a long ton. Seaboard situation is

Wheat closed unsettled, 21sc to 2kc net

Corn was firm but the break in wheat
tended to check buying to some extent.
Good buying was noted, much of it by cash
houses who removed hedges against cash

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 16.-Declines Of
to points were made in the first trades in
the cotton market today, mainly as the re-
suit of cablegrams from Liverpool saying
that English spinners had voted to work
half time on American cotton. Shorts com
menced to cover and new buying arose on
the favorable impression at Washington, SO
that the decline was checked and replaced
by an advancing tendency. At the end OF
the first half hour Of the day prices were
81 to 20 points over yesterdays close. After
trading off to Is 81, December rose to 10. SO.
Short covering increased and new buying
arose after the posting of exports of 1858
bales from Galveston. The market at noon
was active and shortly after stood 30 to AZ
points higher than yesterdays last prices,
ut Ice for December.
Rumors of a loan to Germany, a better
tone in the wheat market and reports of
