A resolution commendatory of Mr. Dick's services was adopted. Mr. Hanna stated that the personnel of an advisory committee was under con sideration, but that it would not be an nounced for ten days or two weeks. It was also said that all of the members of the old National Committee of 1896 re quested President McKinley to consent to the resignation of Mr. Heath as first as sistant postmaster general in order that he might become the secretary of the Na tional Committee. The President, it was added, strongly demurred to this proposi tion until yesterday, when he finally gave hie consent. Mr. Heath will tender his resignation to the President In about a week or ten days. In an interview this afternoon, First Assistant Postmaster General Heath said to the Associated Press correspondent: "The subject, which culminated to-day In my selection as secretory of the Repub lican National Committee, was first broached to me by Chairman Hanna and members of the committee some weeks ego, and was renewed with much earnest ness and insistency at the Philadelphia Convention. "At first I was much adverse to takina up this work, knowing what it meant in volume and character. President McKin ley did not wish me to quit my position in the postofflee department. I was sum moned from Maine on Saturday last to Cleveland, by Chairman Hanna, and re quested to attend a meeting of the Exec utive Committee here to-day. "Here the subject was renewed by all ♦he members of the Executive Committee in such a personal and earnest manner that I consented to undertake the work.” Concerning Mr. Heath's resignation as firsi Assistant Postmaster General, Sen ator Hanna said this afternoon that in his conversation with the President yesterday t Canton, the loiter expressed deep re gret that the committee deemed it neces sary for Mr. Heath to leave his position in the postoffice department, where he had rendered such satisfactory' service, and expressed the greatest confidence in and admiration for Mr. Heath, both officially and personally. Tile Executive Committee chose Col. My ron T. Herrick of this city to fill the va cancy on the National Committee caused by the resignation of George B. Cox of Cincinnati. The committee, late this afternoon, re newed the lease of the rooms occupied as headquarters in the Metropolitan Life In surance bulldin, Madison Square, New York. Messrs. Payne and Stewart were in structed to look over the grounds in Chi cago with a view to securing a location for the National Committee in that cily. It is expected that the Chicago headquar ters will be opened during the latter part of the present month. The committee, after considerable dis cussion, decided to maintain no special bureaus during the coming campaign. In 1896 a number of these, including negro, German and women's bureaus, were oper ated as auxiliaries to the national head quarters. This work will all be assumed now by the officers of the several commit tees. SATISFIED WITH THE DATE. Bryan Will Make So Speeches Be fore His Notification. Lincoln, Neb., July 13.—The date, Aug. 8. on which he is to receive official noti fication of his nomination by the Demo crats, is satisfactory to Mr. Bryan. It Is doubtful If he will leave Lincoln much before that time, though he does not him self know just what his programme will b" He does not, however, expect to make any speeches in advance of his notifica tion. Mr. Bryan Is spending much of the time in his library with his stenographer, work ing on material for the campaign. Mr. Towns has been with him imrt of the tine, which leads to the belief that the M;nnesotan will be one of the most ac- Hvr lieutenants in the campaign. Mr. Aryan's visitora to-day were limited to sum politicians. Congressman J. J. Lentz and E. C. Phllbrlck of Columbus, 0., were with Mr. Bryan a few hours to-day, leaving for the East to-night. Congressman Lentz Is anxious to have the Democratic headquar ters removed from Chicago to Columbus, anl that, it is believed, was his principal mission. Hemocratio National Committeeman Sarpy of California was another visitor to-day. f LOOKING OPT FOIL BRIAN. Mayor Harrison Took Cognizance of an Omission of the G. A. B.

Bryan had not hern invited to attend the Grand Army encampment to be held here next month v 'tis brought to the attention of Mayor Harrison to-day, and the Mayor at once addressed a letter to the Encampment Committee, pointing out the omission. 1 nless at the meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic, which President McKinley is certain to attend, the same attention Is paid to the presidential can didates of both parties, Mayor Harrison anil tho encampment would pass without the official recognition of the city.

St. Louis, July 13.—General Manager G. W. Baumhoff of the St. Louis Transit Company- gave out a signed statement to day in reply to the published charges made by the strikers, in which the latter charged that Baumhoff had violated the agreement entered into on July 2. Mr. Baumhoff denies that he violated in the slightest degree the agreement be tween the strikers' committee and the Transit Company. He says he has strict ly adhered to that agreement and endeav oied to fairly with the strikers at all times The general manager's statement, which is a very lengthy one, is a denial of all charges made by the strikers against him. The statement closes as follows: 'Had the present organization been conducted in the interests of the street rai.way employes instead of for the ben efit of a few imported, self-chosin leaders, there would have been no strike, and all the differences existing between the com- I any and its employes would have been cheerful y and promrtly settled on.” Presidt nt W. D. Mahon of the street Railway Men's T r nion, arrived here to-day from Detroit. He will lake charge cf the strike at once. Two thousand solicitors engaged by the trades' unions and labor unions to canvass the city and collect funds for the striking street railway men’s 'bus lines began work to-day. Chairman Blackmore, who is In charge cf this -work, reports that dintributions are coming in rapidly, and he expects to have 'busses enough In a few days 10 meet the demands of the sympathizing public. The imported men now at woik for the Transit Company are becoming dissatisfied, and charges of unfair treat ment have ben mad? against them by the company. The Executive Committee reported that a delegation of the present employes of the Transit Company had waited on it, and stated that 1,000 men would quit at once If the union would pay their trans portation to their respective homes. The committee declined to give the names of these constituting the committee. The suggestion was taken under advisement. Two bricks were thrown through the windows of a car on the Sixth street line to-night. Edward Strode and his son, who were passengers, were injured by flying glass. Shortly after midnight a car on the Broadway" division of the Transit Com pany ran over an explosive, of some sort near Broadway and Utah streets. The forward trucks were shattered and sev eral windows were broken. Those on the car were not injured. Bit VAN IS WANTED. TOO. He Received nn Invitation to the G. A, R Eiicnmpment. Chicago. July 13.—Regarding reports that the Grand Army encampment is to have a political aspect. Executive Director Har per said to-night: "There Is absolutely no politics in the coming national encampment. Never in the history of this organization has there been an annual encampment to which the President of the United States has not been invited as the chief executive officer of the nation. We naturally follow the precedent established in this matter. Pres ident McKinley, however, is also the most distinguished comrade of the G. A. R. He is not to be the only special guest of Chicago and the encampment. The list of prominent men whom we have ask ed tocometoChicagonumbersnearly twen ty-five. When the formal notification was sent by John C. Black, chairman of the Committee on Invitations, to President McKinley, a similar invitation was for warded to W. J. Bryan. The President has accepted. Mr. Bryan almost immediately acknowledged the receipt of the invita tion, but did not give us a definite reply. We want him here at the time of the en campment and will certainly extend to him every courtesy in our power. “There isno politics in this encampment —all we want is an immense crowd in Chicago to welcome and honor the survi vors of the Civil War.” FROCLAIMED TO-DAY. Reciprocity Arrangement With Ger many to Be Made Known. Washington, July 13.—The newly-signed reciprocity arrangement between the United States and Germany will be pro claimed to-morrow.

In return, the United Slates secures the most favored-nation treatment, or, In other words, the mini mum tariff rates on articles exported to Germany.

"The government of China Is favorable to progress and desirous of extending through the empire the light of Western knowledge.

I found that the attraction was a great moguJ -passenger engine that had been brought to pull a vestibule train that was to speed its way from New York to New Orleans. When I asked the engin eer to explain the difference between the new engine and the old one thot had been laid aside, lie said to me. while the great machine stood there throbbing with power like a thing of life, “The engine that I laid aside yesterday, when doing its best, could pull my train from Atlanta to Montgom ery at a speed of thirty-five miles per hour. This machine can pull the train, with the consumption of less coal, and make on average speed, if need be, of sixty miles on hour.’ “Twenty-five years ago it was regarded a marvelous achievement for one woman to manage two looms in a cotton factory. To-day one woman will manage ft dozen looms, and each one of the dozen looms will weave twice the number of yards of cloth that were woven on the loom twen ty-five years ago. If anew environment has come to the machine.you may be sure of it. anew environment has come to the boy If the world demand* of maofflnc shops more powerful machines, and macnines that will economize tme and labor. we may be sure the world is going to demand of those who build the l*oys and girls of this country that they shall build them to become men and wo men who may have twice and thrice and quadruple, the power that men and wo men ever had l>efore. “One other thought in this connection. Those who build these magnificent ma chines moke no mistakes. Kvery piece o! steel is tested, and every piece of brass is weighed and sounded, and every holt has its place, and every bar Its peculiar function. No machine shop in this coun try could live a year that employed any but experts to fashion and shape everv part of the mnehine. An expert is one who knows, and he must know that he knows. The twentieth century will de mand of those who train the children, not only that they know, hut they too must know that they know. The material in the mind of a child is infinitely more del icate than the finest steel bar ever mad* by any lieesemer process. The new cen tury will say to the teacher, “Take thou this child and know him. Know thou his soul, his mind and his body, as the expert machinist known every part of his machine, and the quality of all its materials, and the. peculiar fitness for use of all tools required for the comple tion of the machine. Make thou no mis takes." “To change the figure and find an illus tration from the laws of life, a few' hun dred miles from <he sj>ot where this meet ing is held, millions of little beings are constructing a reef on n Florida coast. Men: travel for thousands of miles to find Inspiration and courage from th so countless tollers of the briny deep who fringe our coasts with a struc ture that has exoilrd the wonder of the ages The study of the coral polyp reveals the truth that those who do the building are on tbe front sid* of the reef. The fo and supply even for thla little being com’s from i lie billow' that lashes the frontal lire of the structure. The tiny bfiog feeds <n the ministry of the storm. The very billows, while they lash ar.d race in their fury, bring the food supply to the tiny being that builds the coral reef, and ach -little builder gathers himself into the stc-ny structure and welds his being into nil that is below him, and dies. “No one of these countless beings, how ever many times its life may touch the life of other beings, interferes wdth its fellow. It fe-ds upon its environment, grows to its full esta*e,is gathered unto its fathers, and becomes a j art of a perma nent. beautiful w'all that barricades the coasts from the storms of the equatorial belt. But some of th* sc tiny toilers are swept by the billow's into the. quiet stag i ant waters of the inland basin, and in these waters that furnish n<* food supply they stagnate and die and sink Into the bottom to form a part of the slime of the sihnt shore. “The coral polyp has no power to re-s -cue its fellow' whui the wave pushes it baek r.nd away from the line of life, and the line of food supply, and the l ! ne where the building is going on. It is not >wi h us w'ho are butluing a structure of Ameri can life, a structure far mofrv t-ansoendant In the beauty and rtiagnfrflcence of its proportions than the coral structure which th* polyp is building. We are building here the foun dation of a national barrier against which the siorin and the billow of the ages to come are to bring their food supplies and spend their fury. We need the life of ev ery American being to go Into this struc ture. The new century will demand of us that wo shall go into ever submerged district and bring to the top and to the front every child who has within him the unmeasured possibilities of an American destiny. We shall not reach the. limits of our empire and we shall not expand to our farthest bounds until we have brought back to the structure we are building, the withering hands and the atrophying soul of every American child that may add glory to our people. "What responsibilities the new century will bring us no man can tell, but the American school system will not reach the climax of its pow’er until its beneficent light has gone into every American home and until the expert American teacher, w'ho knows that he knows, has led every one of our children out nnd up from the ooze and slime of every submerged dis trict and placed their feet In a large room where every boy can grow to the full measure of a man." "The Status of Public School Educa tion in the South." George B. Cook, superintendent of schools, Hot Springs, Ark. President-elect Green of New Jersey, was introduced, and spoke briefly at the night session, after whioh the Commit tee on Resolutions mode its report, as fol lows: "In accordance with established cus tom. and in order better to enforce those beliefs and practices which tend most pow'crfully to advance the cause of popu lar education nnd a civilization based on intelligent democracy, the National Edu cational Association, assembled In its ihirty-ninth annual meeting, makes this declaration of principles: "The common school Is the highest hope of the nation. In developing char acter, In training intelligence, in dlfTusng information, its influence is Incalculable. In last resort the common school rests, not upon statutory support, bpt upon the convictions and affections of the Ameri can people. It seeks not to east *he youth of the country In a common mould, but rather to afford free play for indi viduality and for local needs nnd aims, while keeping steadily In view the com mon purpose of all education. In this re spect It conforms to our political Ideals and to our poßt'.cal organization, which hind together self-governing states in a nation, wherein each locality must bear the responsibility for Ihoae things w'hich most concern Ms* w< Rare and Its comfort. "A democracy provides for the educa tion of nil its children. To regard the common schools as schools for the unfor tunate, and the less well to do. nnd to treat them ns such, is to strike a fatal blow at their efficiency nnd democratic institutions; it is to build up elfiss dis tinctions whl<h have no proper plnce on American soli. The purpose of the Amer ican common school is to attract and to Instruct the rich, ae well as to provide for, and to educate the poor. Within Ha walls American citizens are made, and no person enn safely be excluded from its benefits. "What has served the people of the United States so well should be prompt ly placed at the service of those who, by the fortunes of war, have Income our wards. The extension of the American common school system to Tuba, Porco Rico and the Philippine Islands is an Im perative necessity in order that knowl edge may be generally diffused therein, and that the foundation* ol social order “THE ACADEMIE DE MEDECINE OF FRANCE HAS PLACED Abollinaris JL (“THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS.”) At the Head of All the Waters Examined for Purity and Freedom from Disease Germs.” and effective local self-government may be laid in popular intelligence and moral ity. "The provisions of law for the civil government of Porto Rico indicate that 1( is the intention of tho Congress of the United States to Increase the responsi bilities of the Bureau of Bclv.- cation. Wo earnestly urge upon th* Congress (he wisdom and advisability of reorganizing the bureau of education upon broader lines; of erecting it into an Inde pendent department on n plane with thf* deportment of labor; of providing a proper compensation for the commissioner of ed ucation. and of so const Muting the depart ment of education that, while Its invalu able function of collating and diffusing in formation bo In no wise impoired, It may be equipped to exer< is. effective oversight of the educational systems of Alaska and of the several Islands now dependent upon us, as well as to make some provision for the eduction of the children of the tens of thousands of white people domiciled in tho Indian Territory, but who are without nny educational opportunities whatever. "Such reorganization of the bureau of education and such extension of its func tions we bellow to be demanded by the highest Interests of the people of tha United States, and we respectfully, but earnestly, ask the Congress to innke pro vision for such reorganization and exten sion at (heir next session The action so strongly recommended will in no respect contravene the principle tlwt it is one of the recogniz* and functions of tin national government to encourage and to aid. but not to lOntrol, the educational instrumen talities of the country. "We note with antisfaetton the rapid extension of provision for adequate sec ondary and higher education, as w’ell n for technical, industrial and commercial training. National prosperity and our economic welfare in the years to romp will depend in no small measure upon the trained skill of our people, as well ns upon their inventiveness, their persist ence and their general information.
