ADMWAL SCHLErS PLANS. Will Wait and See What Congress
Does.
NEW YORK, January 2 -Park Benjamin, who has been a personal friend of Rear-Admiral Schley for many years, was asked regarding the admiral’s plans for the future and the report that friends of Schley would ask Congress to vindicate. him by retiring-him on full pay and reimbursing him for the expense of his trial. ’‘Congress," Mr. Benjamin skid, “has gone back to its constituents. The Representatives have gone home and will get the opinion of the country on the whole matter. When they meet again in Washington they /wUlXhave received Instructions from the peohle who elected them. I think Admiral Schley Is waiting for that. I do not think he/nas made any plans or will until after Congress has expressed its opinion or taken its choice of the various plans that have been suggested. “Twenty-five or thirty bills, looking to some recognition of Schley, have been Introduced. -I do not think Schley himself will do anything In connection with them. He does not want to press himself before the public, but will wait and see what is the pleasure of Congress. His friends have no doubt that the feeling throughout the country Is in his favor. He has been through a terrible strain for three or four months, and at present wants rest. Everybody, so far as I know, is advising him to take it. Admiral Schley is not a vindictive man, but Is very good-natured. I think if Congress wishes to vindicate him he would be very glad, but if not he will bow to the will of the people. It has been proposed to adopt Admiral Dewey's report as the judgment of Congress; to restore Schley to the active list; to keep him on the retired list and give him full pay, as was done with Admiral Jewett, now living. or to make Schley, Sampson and Captain Clark all vice-admirals.

PALMA IS NOT JUBILANT. New President of Cuba Preferred Private Life. NEW YORK. January 2-General Tomas Estrada Palma, the newly elected President of Cuba, now at his home in Center Valley, N. Y., has received many telegrams of felicitation from various parts of Cuba and this country. Senor Errtllio Bacardi, mayor of Santiago. cabled in the name of the municipal council: "I. with the president, wish you a happy new year, and all are pleksed to greet you as the future first magistrate of the Cuban republic." D. M. Sabales, at Havana, a veteran of the ten years’ war In Cuba, sent a message of congratulation: Emilio Agramont telegraphed this from New York: "Hurrah for the honorable President of our country, in whose hands its- prosperity and happiness will be safe.’’ The Cuban President-elect said In an Interview: "I have not had the least ambition to fill any public office; In fact, I all along refused to allow my name to be put forward as a presidential candidate. I am disappointed that there should have been any dissatisfaction over the election. I consented to the use of my name only at the last minute, when it was too late to withdraw. But I thought that absolute j harmony prevailed and that General Maao had consented to accept the vice-preai-dency. I really would have preferred to I have been allowed to stay out of politics and attend to my private affairs.’’ FAILURES FOR THE YEAR.

SCIENTIST DENOUNCES THE
TENDENCY IN SCHOOLS,
[From a Staff Correspondent.] COLUMBUS, Ind., January 2.-There will be something doing at Columbus this evening; when the Democrats of the Fourth congressional district have their annual reunion. The Fourth district is one of the banner Democratic districts of the State and the middle West. At every State and national election there is talk that the district will be carried by the Republicans, but when the votes t arc counted it is always found that the Democrats have won, as usual. Maybe the Republicans will carry the district some day, but that some day is far in the future. Being such a large district, there is, of course, considerable diversity of opinion among the Democrats. In fact, they arc combined on onl^ one proposition, and that is to lick the Republicans at ail times and on all occasions. The purpose of these reunions is to get the Democrats together, have them meet on one common plan and drop all differences. There is
also a Congressman to elect and there arc several Democrats In the district who would like to take a whirl if they were sure that they could defeat the Incumbent, Congressman Marion Griffith. But at this time it looks as if the Vevay man has the thing about sewed up, and unless someone announces himself pretty soon he will have no opposition in the convention. After the nomination his election is a sure thing. J. A. Cox, of Columbus, was talked of for a time, but he has declined to run, nor will he be a candidate for re-election to the county chairmanship. Lincoln Dixon and Judge New have the matter under consideration, but they have not decided yet what they will do. Program for the Reunion. Cd$kmbus. with its famous reputation for hospitality, has arranged to take care of the crowd. Many have arrived already, and there are whisperings and conferences. The citizens of Columbus have not
thought of politics In this thing, and as far as they are concerned they do not care whether It is a gathering of Democrats or Republicans. They want the visitors to see what there is in Cplumbag and are entertaining their guests in a*»way that is keeping up the reputation of this city. At the banquet this evening Mayor George W. Caldwell, the Democratic mayor of a Republican city, will be master of ceremonies. The following is the rhetorical bil! of fare: “Democracy and the Constitution,” Judge Willard New, North Vernon; “Modern Democracy.” ex-Senator Joseph H. Bhea, Seymour:’ "Party Organization,’’ Nicholas Cornett, Versailles; “The Business Man in Politics,” P. H. McCormick, Columbus; "Jacksonian Democracy,’’ John Overmyer, North Vernon; "Our Congress,” F. M. Griffith, Vevay; “Mission of Democracy,” George Downey, Aurora. It is expected that covers will be laid for at least six hundred guests. The reunion at Franklin recently was a successful affair, hut the local Democrats feel that they will give even a better account of themselves than did their brethren of Johnson county. W. H.

LONDON, January 2.—There was an enthusiastic demand yesterday for the new King Edward stamps, but King Edward coins were missing. Many people got up early’ and went considerably out of their way to make purchases of the pretty new penny and half-penny stamps. Many people waited until midnight on Tuesday at the general postofflee, and began asking for the new stamps, which were on’rale immediately after 12 o’clock struck for New Year’s day. In the majority of cases the stamps were promptly affixed to letters and postcards, which were forthwith posted at the nearest available letter box. In many branch postoffices the scene was unusual. Small,’ ragged urchins went up to the counters and asked for the new stamps. Welldressed young men called for a shilling’s worth of penny stamps, but refused to complete the transaction when old ones were offered. Everybody demanded the new edition, and frequently’ the supplies were exhausted. There is no doubt whatever, from the gossip heard at the postoffices, that the public Is highly pleased with the new King Edward stamps, especially the penny red ones. For weeks past millions of the stamps have been stowed away in the strong room at Somerset House, and over them the closest supervision has been exercised by officers of the inland revenue commission.
far, and It even appears that all Instruction In physiology and hygiene In public schools has passed to a great and unjustifiable extent Into the hands and under the subjection of the temperance physi-
ology propaganda.’’
President Sedgwick believes that there should be little or no State regulation of what shall appear in school text-books. "Scarcely had science and education,” he said, "freed themselves from the church when they began to be threatened by subjection of the state. While it is right and proper that the youth of the land should be taught plainly and thoroughly the dangers of alcohol, I belleye that It is odious and unreasonable that the exact amount of such teaching should be prescribed by law; that the method of teacnlng by textbooks and the space devoted to It in the text-book should be legally regulated by law, but especially that *he kind of textbook* used should be rargely determined by self-constituted and inofficial oligarchy -leaders of a propaganda which Is neither educational nor ecieMlfic.” ■ It Is to Mrs. Mary* Hunt, of Boston, that Professor Sedgwick lays much of the present State legislation in regard to the contents of text-books. The effects of these peculiar laws, he said, had been to create a peculiar class of text-books, some of which were prepaid by competent writers. but most are Inferior, and some are
distinctly bad.

NEW YORK, January 2—The plans of

Hubbard, the president of the board of directors of the new corporation. He said that after the Philippine agency was established other branches would be instituted in the principal cities of th§ insular possessions of the United States.

CONSTANTINOPLE, January 2.-Tito], recent arrest of two naturalized Ameri^S cans at Tripoli, Syria, for refusal to T pay the tax providing for exemption from military service, has led to sharp representations on the part of the United States minister to Turkey, John G.

"Teachers, principals and superintendents, and even school committees, are seldom able to speak with perfect frankness on the subject from fear of some influence. In my opinion It Is time for a body of scientific men like the American Society of Naturalists and the American Association for the Advancement of Science to put on record their opinion that the subjugation under which science and education are to-day suffering from the temperance propaganda has become intoler-
able.
"It appear* that it has come to pass that a writer who desire* to' publish an elementary book on physiology and hygiene must, before he can obtain a publisher or a market for his book, secure the ’indorsement’ of Mrs. Mary Hunt, of the world’s and national superintendents of scientific temperance instruction, of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, of the Rev. Daniel Dorchester, vice-president of the Massaclpisetts Total Abstinence Society, and the 7 rest of this self-constituted committee. It is high time that cognizance should be taken of the fact and a
protest entered.”
VICTORY FOR HARPER. Chicago University Gets French In-
dustrial School.
CHICAGO, January 2.—One million dollars is the sum offered by Robert Lebaudy, a French multi-millionaire, for the establishment of a French Industrial' school in connection with the University of Chicago. It will be the greatest institution of its kind In the world. The tender was made to President Harper through M. Lebaudy’* agent, Emil Ridel, of the French army. Dr. Harper promptly replied that it was th* very thing the university desired, and the preliminaries were settled without further
ado.
The new school Is to be an integral part of the University of Chicago, and the necessary buildings, for which M. Lebau- j ry will furnish the money, will be located ) on the campus of that Institution. M. Lebaudy does not expect to end his interest to and support of the proposed | school with hi* gift of 31,(100,000. He also will establish an endowment £und for the
maintenance of the school.
The Institution takes on a still greater rtance from the fact that it will be actively fostered by the French govern-
ment
The students will consist of 600 gradu-
ates of French colleges. These will be selected by the government, and 200 will be sent over each year. They will live on scholarships, all expenses of transportation and living being donated by the
French Department of Education.
