Beach & Bowers' big minstrel company will serve to amuse the patrons of the Marquam Grand next Thursday evening. This popular organization of burnt cork comedians appeared last season for the first time west of -the Mississippi River.

The company num ber over CO of the best comedians, vaude ville artists and musicians that Messrs. Beach and Bowers have ever had the pleasure of presenting.

The original engagement of Blaney 'and Taylor's attraction, "King of the Opium Ring," terminated with last even ing's performance, but the demand for an opportunity to see the play still continues so great, that Managers Jones and Tay lor decided to give an extrai production of the piece tonight, prior to the latter's departure with his company South The business done by "King of the Opium Ring" 'during the past week. has been very large, and has not been equal led since Manager Jones took the Mct ropolitnn " - MORE SEATS AEEDED. Metropolitan's Capacity to Be Added to Largely This Week. During the present week, excepting to night, when a suplementary performance of; "King of the Opium Ring," will be given, the Metropolitan Theater will be closed for quite extensive alterations. A large force of men will be put at work in the interior of the house, to increase the seating capacity, which has been found too small for such drawing at tractions as Blaney and Tajlor's play, now closing its successful engagement,' Parts of Ahe balcony will be entirely remodelled, and when the work Is done. Manager Jones expects to seat some thing like 300 more people than at pres ent. This vrill make the total seating capacity about 1200.

Conditions Before and Since Amer ican Occupation of the Territory Recommendations. Professor George P. Anderson, at one time an instructor in the Portland Uni versity, and superintendent of public In struction in Manila for the year ending June 30, 1900, has submitted an official report covering scho'ol conditions in" that" territory since its., occupation by the American, Government. He has since re- signed and returned to this country, the tropical climate having had a very bad effect upon his health. The acting Adjutant-General expressed tiimself as highly pleased with Professor Anderson's work, and prior to the latter's departure pre sented him with a highly commendatory letter. Extracts from the report are as follows. "At the commencement of work on June 18, 1S99, the following conditions were founa to exist- Thirty-one schools of the Spanish times had been reopened and con tinued as they -were In Spanish times, be ing allowed in.1 every sense to continue the former methods of instruction, con sisting principally of 'loud' study and recitation, and mere parrot-like acquisi tion of knowledge, with a large portion of the time devoted to repeating the cate chism and other religious exercises. Ex tremely little of 'real Instruction existed. The oie bright spot. In the dark picture was that in 14 of the schools' eight half way teachers of English,, the equivalent of four full-day teachers, had for the last two weeks pf school before the vacation then1 la progress taught English for one hour only in each ichool ,.. "A very noticeable feature of the condi tion was that In wthe' list of 30 schools were three distinctly and avowedly sec- turiun, Bcnoois, wrncn aro sturupon the J i - - payrrolls of the department and the three receive much more financial support than all the remaining schools together. These conditions have been reported by the Su perintendent, with recommendations that the relations with sectarian, schools cease altogether, as unjust and obnoxious to true Americanism. "The Filipino teachers In the 36 minor schools seemed to possess a spirit of fear of innovation, but have since been led to welcome the changes suggested, as they now believe that the Anierlcan Govern ment means all that, is beat for the isl ands. "Upon reopening the schools 'on July It 1S99, eight new schools were also opened In unprovided districts, so that the de partment now has 39 schools. ' "The Important questlpn off teaching the English language received 'early at tention,' so that Instead qf u minor frac tion of the schools receiving English for one hour per day for tw o 'weeks only, as in the previous year, alf'of the schools during the entire year 1899.-1900 received English for a longer portion of the day. The, status on June 30 (now the same) is that English is taught all day In six schools, half-day in 23 sdhools and quarter-day in 10 schools Even this i3 too little. The schools are ready for a de cided Increase, the children and the peo ple earnestly desire It, the' Superintendent has pleaded that the English teaching force be doubled at least, and this Is a question that should receive early atten tion. Much has been accomplished In the work of the Spanish studies by stopping the loud, rote system, and showing the Bpan lsh teachers how the child is actually to learn something. The neighbors are hlgn ly pleased In such localities, as this in novation has been fully successful Amer ican publications In the Spanish ilangunge have largely replaced the miserable books formerly used in the Spanish studies ana have been serviceable In greatly changing the schools from Catholic Sunday achoo s Into something like actual'Amerlcan puu 11c schools But It Is an" evolution, and steps need yet to be taken to fully cor rect these and other faulty The meritorious teachlngl In tne schools has been accomplished by tne teachers of English, numbering 13 full-day and 11 half-day teachers ' Though many of them are not teachers of extended ex perience, almost without exception tney have shown themselves bHghti practical, faithful and capable for the work set be fore them; they have worked i splendidly amid many discouragements of climate and other kinds. These' words appiv without exception to those employed at present date as teachers of English in this department, and they ' are herem recommended for continuation at an in creased salary. They w6ll deserve tm recommendation, because of their en thusiasm," tact and ability constantly shown In the schools. '- The school buildings now in use aro crowded. 3Iost of them are too small and are found insufficient. This mattr is being Investigated by the Department of Inspection, with a view to lmprovlrg conditions so that the 10,000 or 15,000 rial dren who could be obtained may be ac commodated In the schools, which should be less In number, but in much larger buildings, and these should not be used as residences by the principals or by anv one else. The northern border of the city is very badly In need of schools at the present time. Schednle of Teachers.

' Recommendations. All salaries In this department should De increased. No sectarian schools should remain on the books of the department. It is not American. Lots should be secured and new build ings erected as soon as possible Pend ing this, larger buildings than at present In use should be rented, the boys' and girls' schools of each district o be placed In the same buildings. Janitors should be appointed In charge of them, and no one sallowed to live la them. The .school year should consist of ,o period of nine months or about 39 weelcs of school, commencing not earlier than and as close as convenient to June-lo, and ending not later than and as close as convenient to March lb with about two weeks' vacation for the Christmas" holidays. . Steps should be taken to make all or the instruction of the schools In the Eng lish language, except as1 Spanish ana other, languages may be taught for the language, as German and French have al ways been taught in the "United States. Looking forward to th's, American teach ers should soon be made principals of alt the schools in this department, until tne Filipinos mav learn the language ana modern American methods of instruc tion English Normal Schools should be starr ed" to train a corps of Philippine teach ers for the vast work of American edu cation in the Philippine Islands. CONTROL OF CONGRESS. If Bryan Is Elected, Gold Standard Will Be Menaced. St. Paul Pioneer Press. ' Here Is one significant passage of Bri an's letter of acceptance Immediately fol lowing his emphatic declarations In favor of opening our mints to the free coinage of sliver at the ratio of 16 to 1: Whether the Senate, now hostile to blxnetal Isra, can bo changed during: this camnalen or tne cantpaiffn of 1802, can only be determined after the votes aro counted, hut rcither the present nor the future political complexion of Congress has prevented or should prevent an announcement of the party's position upon this Btfbject In unequUocal terms Those Gold Democrats and antl-exoan-slonlsts like Carl Schurz and Bourke Cockran, who ha e declared, as an excuse for their voting for Bryan, that he would be powerless to carry out his free-silver policy, because there would certainly be a Republican majority in the Senate, cer tainly for, the first two years of his term, and probably for the remaining two, which would prevent any such disaster, are commended to a careful consideration of the above language of the free-silver leader. For it implies the belief that it Is very doubtful whether the Republicans will have a majority in the Seqate, even In the first two years of his term, and that he entertains the hopo that he will, if elected, be backed by a Democratic and Populist majority. . It will be noticed! too, that he does not express Jany doubt whatever that the Democrats will have control of the next House of Representatives. He takes that for granted. And tvhile it is not at all certain that this assumption Is correct. it is sufficiently doubtful to afford ground for the-gravest anxiety. In faot there Is far. less reason to fear .that Bryan trill be elected than tnatthe small Republican maJorltS' in the House will be swept away." The present House when organ ized had 185 Republicans and 172 mem 'bers of, other parties, including seven Populists and two Sllverltes. A loss of seven seats would give the opposition control. The adoption of the Constitu tional amendment in Itforth Carolina, wlilch 'practically disfranchises all colored voters, tvIII Insure" the election of two Democrats in place of the two irepubll cans now holding seats In Conjrres3 from that state. The high-handed x measures by, which tna Dflmocratla party 'In Mis - sourl has established , its rulo over St. Louis by a sort oftGoebeI law, which gives the Democrats absolute control, of the registration and election in that city, will probably result la the loss of the three Republicans now representing that ,city la Congress. This alone makes the change of seven necessary to give the Democrats control. The Democrats are counting also upon gains in Maryland and West Virginia. It Is quite possible that there may be some losses in doubtful districts in some of the Western States. Unless these losses, some of which are certain, can be made up elsewhere, the next House will be Democratic. It is hoped that they will be made up by gains in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsjlva nla and Ohio But If this hope should be disappointed and the Democrats and Pop. ullsts should have a majority of the next House, the results would be disastrous. The New York Journal of Commerce points out that if this should be the case the eight or 10 Populists would hold the balance of power, and when they finally consented to the choice of a Democratic Speaker it would be on conditions whfch would give them control of the commit tee on coinage and currency, which would report In favor of opening our mints to the free coinage of silver, and of a ways and means committee which would report in favor of paying our bonds in green backs. Even if such measures should fail CHARi.ES A. TAYLOR, AUTHOR AND MANAGER OF 'KINGJOF THE OPIUM RING." to pass, they would, with their usual accompaniment of demagogic speeches, bo everywhere interpreted as a menace to the stability of the gold standard, and work Incalculable damage to the credit of the country. But that is not all. The first use which a Democratic majority In the House would make of Its power would be to refuse appropriations for the mainte nance of a military forco necessary to keep order la the Philippines while the President Is working out his plans for the gradual Induction of their people in -the processes of self-government. If they did not also refuse appropriations for the maintenance of the civil government es tablished by the President,' the compul sory withdrawal of the military force would compel Its retirement also, and tho practical surrender of the islands to Agulnaldo's Junta of cutthroats. This Is no mere speculation of the Pioneer Press. For It is well known to be the avowed intention' of leading anti-Imperialists to make their principal fight against the re turn 'of Republican, members of Congress for the express purpose of compelling the withdrawal of the troops from tho Philip pines. This, then, is the most serious danger which confronts the Republic. It Is not at all likely, although It Is possible, that .Bryan may be elected. But there Is a very imminent danger that the Demo crats, with more than a hundred votes froin the Southern states which they can count on with absolute certainty, may be ablo to achieve control of the next House LAURETTE COONEY, AS SPARKLE, of Representatives. This would be a Na tional disaster only second to the loss of the Presidency. Plenty of Time After November. Baltimore News.
