CHARLESTON. S. C. July 13.-In ac
cordance with established custom and
4n order to better enforce these be
liefs and practices which tend most
powerfully to advance the cause of
popular education and civilization bas
ed on intelligent democracy, the Nation
al Educational Association, assembled
In it thirty-ninth meeting, makes this
declaration of principles:
"In the common school Is the high
est hope of the Nation. ; In develop
ing character. In training intelligence,
in diffusing Information, its Influence
is Incalculable. -
"In last resort the common school
rests not upon statutory support but
upon the convictions and affections of
the American people. It seeks not to
cast the youth of the country .'into: a
common mould, but rather to afford free
play for Individuality ' and for local
needs and aims, while keeping steadily
in view th 'common purpose of educa
tion. In this respect It conforms to our
political Ideas and to our political or-,
ganization which bind together-self-governing
states In a nation, vrherela
each locality mutt bear the responsi
bility for those things which most con
cern Its welfare, and its comfort A
safe motto for the- school as for the
state is: In essentials, unity; in non
essentials, liberty: In all things, char-
ity. ' ' ' " ' '
"A Democracy .provides for the edu
cation of all its children To regard
the common schools aa schools for the
unfortunate and the less well-to-do,
and to treat them aa such, is to strike
a fatal blow at their efficiency as demo
cratic Institutions:, It Is to build up
class" distinctions which have no prop
er place on American soil. The purpose
of the American common school is to
attract and to Instruct the rich, aa
well as to provide for, and to educate
the poor. Within its walls American
citizens are made, and no person safe-
ly can be expected from Its benefits.
"What has served the people of the
United States so well should be prom
inently placed at" the service of those
who, by the fortunes of war, have be
come our wards. The extension of the
American common school system to Cu- '
ha, Porto Rico and the Philippines ,
is an imperative necessity.- In order '
that knowledge may be generally dif
fused therein, and the foundations of;
social ord?r and effective local self-gov- ,
ernment laid on popular 5 inetlllgence
and morality. !
, "The provisions of law for the civil
government of Porto Rico Indicate that
It Is the intention of the congress of
the United States to Increase the re- '
Bponsibllities of the . bureau of educa-I
tion. We earnestly urge upon congress
the wisdom and advisability ot reor
ganizing the bureau of education upon ;
broader lines, erecting It Into an lm- J
portant department on a plane with

to exercise oversight over the educa

several Inlands now dependant upon us,
as well as to make some provision fof

of thoueanda of white people domiciled
in the Indian Territory, but who are

whatever. Such reorganization of the
bureau of education and such extension
of Its functions "we believe to be de
manded by the highest interests of
the people of the United States, and
we respectfully but earnestly ask con
greps to make provision for such reor
ganization and extension at ihelr next
session. The action so strongly recom
mended will In no respect contravene
Hie principle that it is one of the rec
opnlzed functions of the National gov
ernment to encourage and to aid, but

not to control, the educational Instru
mentalities of the country.
, ' We note with pride the rapid exten-
tion of provision for a separate eecon
dary and higher education, as well as'
for technical. Industrial and commer
cinl training. National prosperity and
our economic welfare In the years to
come will depend In no small measure
upon the trained skill of our people, as
well as upon their Inventiveness, their
persistence and their general in forma
tion.
"Every safeguard thrown about the
profession of teaching, and every pro
vision for Its proper compensation, has
our cordial approval. Proper stand
ards both general and proresslonal
for entrance upou the work of In
struction, security and tenure, decent
salaries and a systematic pension sys
tern, are indispensable if the schools
are to attract and to hold the service
of the Kst men an 3 women of the
United States, and the Nation can at
ford to placi its children in the care
of none but the best.
"We welcome the tendency on the
part of c?l!cKes and scientific schools
to co-operate in formulating and ad'
ministering the requirements for ad:
mission to their several courses of In
structlon. and we rejoice that this
association has constantly thrown Its
influence In favor of this policy, and
has Indicated how, in our Judgment, It
may be best entered upon. We see In
this luovement a most Important step
toward lightening the burdens which
now rest upon so many secondary
schools, and are confident that only
good results will follow Us success.
"The efficiency or a school system Is
to be Judged by the character and the
Intellectual power of it pupils, and
not by their ability to meet a series
f technical tests. The place of the
formal examination in education Is dis
tinctly subordinate to teaching and its
nse 4 : the sole test of teaching is
Unjustifiable. ' ' , '
- "We renew oor pledge to carry on the
work of education entrusted to us In a
spirit .which shall be not ouly non
sectarian and non-iollUcal. but which
shall accord' with vhe highest Ideals
of our National Uf and character.
With the effort and public support of
opinion and the press for the work
of the schools, higher and lower alike,
we shall enter upon ;he new century
with the high hope born of successful
expedience and of perfect confidence In

BURGIAR ARRESTED.
CHICAGO, July 13.-0. P. Dillon was
arrested In this city early today, charg
ed with being one of the burglars who
robled the American Express Company
at Storm Lake. Iowa, of blank orders
that could be filled out to aggregate
$20,000. The theft was jommitted a
week ago. Dillon, with a companion,
came 'to Chicago four days ago and
obtained employment as a telegraph
operator. : Since the burglary was dis
covered (special officers for the Express
Company have followed both men from
Iowa. Dillon's companion escaped.
Orders aggregating $500 In face val
ue, and made out on some of the sto
len blanks, led to Dillon's arrest.

NOTHING NEW FROM PEKIN
(Continued from First Pact.)
Chinee rumors to the general masa
ere of the foreigners at IVkln.
There Is no Immediate prospect of an
advance upon Pekln, and the combined
fcrces lack unity ot direction and con
trol. There has been, without doubt, con
siderable shrinkage of confidence In the
defensive resources of the allied army
at Tien Tsln. The Chinese forces ore
standing by their guns and serving
them well, and until the Terrible't IS
pounders were brought into use the
artillery of the allies was outclassed.
Detailed descriptions of the fighting are
lacking, hut the allied forces appear to
be bre)y holding their ground, and
they may be compelled to fall back
upon the seaboard, if the navigation of
the river be Interrupted ond their sup
plies cut off.
It is not probable that Sir Alfred
Oaselee, who will arrive at Taku this
month, will command the allied force.
He hits the rank of Brigadier-General,
and has been S3 years in the British
army, serving mainly In Abyssinia and
India. He will command the Indian
troops, but a Japanese or Russian gen
eral will have direction of the entire
allied force. Sir Alfred has the reputa
tion of being a safe, rather than a brlt
Ibint ofl.cer.
The opinion prevails In military cir
cles here that, apart from the relays
of artillery which are already In mo
tion for Cape Town for shipment to
China, there will not be an Immediate
dispatch of troops from South Africa,
and that when several battalions cun
b spared by Lord Roberts they will be
sent to India, to take the place of the
native regiments ordered to Taku.
NEW YORK. July 1S.-A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Che
Fio, July 9, says:
The situation at Tl?n Tsln Is des
perate. Th commanders are calling
for more troops, but the troubles brew
ing elsewhere render It Improbable that
they can be sent.
Germany has been obliged to with
draw from Taku troops that were to
have been hurried to the aid of Tien
Tsin. The reason for this is a report
that a large body of Boxers Is march
ing on Klao Chou, German territory.
So far aa can be gathered the foreign
troops will have difficulty in getting out
of Tien Tsin. They ar fighting inces
santly day and night and the losses
must be heavy, for the Chinese keep up
a bold, well-directed bombardment
with heavy guns.
It Is certain that Tien Tsln win be
abandoned as soon as retreat Is pos
sible. NEW YORK. July 1S.-A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from
Shanghai says:
The viceroy of Fuhklen has received
dispatches from Pekln, dated . July 7,
announcing that General NIeh, with 9.
000 mjn has reached there from Lutla
by making a long detour to the north.
He met and defeated Prince Tuan's
army and rescued Prince Chlng, but
lost 2,510 men In the operation.
He now trying to rescue General
Yung Lu, and thus save what may be
left of the legations In Pekln. NIeh
Is favorable to the foreigners.
NEW YORK. July 13.-A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Che
Foo, July 9, says:
Great Joy reigns In Che Foo, In
spired by the safe arrival of every
white missionary and every ratlve
preacher in the Tien Tsin district
hlthsrto unaccounted for.
The steamer Shin Flng. of Chinese
registry, but officered by Americans
and English, brought In the refugees,
to the number of more than 200. They
report that more than 13,000 refugees to
Tien Tsln and Taku have been res
cued from certain death by the al
lied forces of the powers.
The mlHslonarles who arrived by the
Shin Flng are:
Perkins, Crawford, Lewis, Parker,
Blalock, Crawford Hudson. Dawes,
Tedder, Partch, Burnham, Fitch, Far.
les, Parker, Hayes, Porter, Moon
(Eoon?), Yowe, Thompson, Luce, Ir
win, Mater, Hartwell, Print. Stephen,
Dutton, Owen, Neal and Cooper.
Every missionary In Shan Tung
province and every native preacher In
the Methodist Tien Tsin district Is now
accounted for.
The steamer salted from an obscure
coastwise port with her destination se
cret. The Rev. P. D. Bercen. one of
the refugees, mada a gallant rescue of
fftrelgn miners near his station at
Tslntao, 160 miles southwest of Che
Foo. Mrs. Bergen and Dr. and Mrs.
J. B. Neal are among the refugees
arriving on the Shin Flng. At Feng
Tszl three Chinese converts were kill
ed. Mrs. Crosettl. of Weiheln. 'brought
on with her party, Davies and John
son. Fleming also escaped.
Watts and Fenton made a gallant
ride to Taku to bring the news of the
critical conditions In outlying Shan
Tung villages. They swam the Pel Ho
river twice and were fired on by the
natives at every village they passed.
Hopkins, Partch, Luce and Ewlng
left for Japan by today's steamer. The
Rev. Cornwall, of Che Foo, has greatly
distinguished himself by making three
trips into the interior to rescue mis
sionaries. The English mission at
Cheng Chow fau been looted and
burned.
NO INCOME-TAX PLANK.
Mr. Morse Explains How It Was Omit
ted From the Democratic Platform,
INDIANAPOLIS, July 13.--Samuel E.
Morse, Indiana's member of the reso
lutions committee at the democratic
conversion In ft signed Interview makes
jiiuwlug explanation ot how there
came to be no Income tax plank in the
democratic platform. He says:
"The platfvrm as adopted by the com
mtttee on resolutions of the Kansas
City convention contained a declare
turn tn favur of the adoption of the con
stitutional amendment authorising an
Income tat and providing for the elec
tion of United Btat?a renators by the
rKple. No objection was made to this
resolution, and I am convinced that the
omission of reference to the Income
tax was the result of an oversight due
to the haste with which the sub-committee
was obliged to act to put the
platform, as unanimously adopted, In
shape to be submitted to the conven
tion. The Idea that the declaration
tor the lucerne tax was purposely omit
ted by the sub-committee, out of de
ference for Senator Hill or any other
person, Is preposterous.
"When Senator Tillman had nearly
finished the platform some of the Indi
ana delegates said to me that nothing
had been read about the Income tax.
I said to them that tne platform aa
agreed upon by the sub-committee con
tained a declaration for the Income
tax, and that if It had been omitted
It was due to oversight either by Ben
ator Tillman in reading or by the' copy
It-t w ho had transcribed the document.
"I went to the Illinois delegation and
asked Mayer Harrison of Chicago, who
was the Illinois membir of the commit
tee. If he had notJ the omissions. He
said he had not I was about to go on
the platform to call attention to the
matter, when Mayor Harrison called to
me and said that Mr. Abbott told him
that the income tax declaration had
been read by Senator Tillman. Unlen
Mr. Abbott's ears deceived him It was
rend and the omission occurred by
accident In the copies furnished to the
press. I have no doubt that Mr. Bryan
will define his position and that of his
party on this subject In his letter of
acceptance. Mr. Bryan lias long been
an advocate of the Income tax, and
the democratic party of the country la
united In advocating It."
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
Tenants Want to Pay Rent But Can
not Find Their Landlord.
CHICAGO, July ll-The Record says:
Checks for a large amount are sup
posed to be lying In a pile of unopened
moil that awaits the return of John
F. Woolensak. and tenants are anxious
to pay thousands of dollar due for
rent, but no one can tell the where
abouts of the business man who dis
appeared last November and left no
agent to act for him In his absence.
Mr: Woolensak Is 60 years old and Is
estimated to be worth half a million
dollars; January 10. a letter dated San
Francisco was received from him by
an insurance firm. Since then many
effort to find him have proved unavail
ing. Mr. Woolensak up to last fall was A
manufacturer of hardware specialties,
and he had been In the business for
many years. ' He was an Inventor, and
a number of specialties which he pat
ented brought him targe returns.
Last fall Mr. Woolensak retired and
leased his eight-story building to Mor
ley Pros., saddlery manufacturers. He
re-lssod one floor, the third, from
them, for use as a storage room and
office. When the time came to pay the
rent for Decmher. Morley Bros., tent
him a check for the amount due from
them. The check has never been
cashed and Is supposed to be lying In
Woolensak's mall pile.
On t Ji first of each month 'or the last
six months, Morley Bros, have been
going through the form of sending a
check from their office on the second
floor to Woolensak's ofTlce on the third
floor. An Immense pile of mall is said
to be increasing In size every day.
STEAMSHIP LINES UNITE.
Big Company Formed for the West

NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 13.
Tudge Simon E. Raldwln, of the su
preme court of this state, sitting In the

"We cannot g"t our electors on the
