Foster this morning to pave the way lor a

tho secretary in the matter Ho
got very Uttlo encouragement Fos-
ter gave him to understand
that the discharged plate printers need not
entertain tho idea of getting a vindica-
tion that he would do what hs had al-
ready offered to do appoint these men to
vacancies at tho foot of the roll when
vacancies occurred but that he would not
create any vacancies for them or do any-
thing else Tho secretary said to
Cavanaugh and afterwards repeated it in
an interview that ho would yield nothing
further to the demands of these men and
called attention to the fact that tho man in
whoso interest chiefly the light is being

Tho change of the signal service depart-

ployes so far as their employment is
concerned despite the fact that a noinbcr
have been discharged They are all guaran-
teed to bo continued at least until tho term
of service for which they enlist in the army

however when such a body of soldiers

tho Chilian congressional envoy allowed

pear that tho mission with which Senor
Monte and his associates aro charged is a
failure in so far as their official recognition
by tho United States government is con-
cerned and it is Improbable that they will
be received in any capacity either officially
or unofficially by any executive officer of
this government A person well versed in
diplomatic practices thoroughly ac-
quainted with the history of tho depart-
ment of state this afternooi said that the
reason for tho adoption of this courso by
our government was broader than any of
the questions involved in the present case
and was founded on a uniform line of pre
ced nt running back to the data of our
civil war It is said in diplomatic circles
that this question is founded on good policy
and tends to conserve American interests

Popular Education in England
London June SO While the house of
commons was in committee on tho public
eaucation bill Right Hon Henry Harley
Fowler Liberal movd the insertion of a
clause in favor of local representation in
tho control of tho schools receiving the
grants Fowlers motion had tho approval
of tho Liberal leader
Right Hon Joseph Chamberlain said that
popular control of denominational schoois
would be resisted to the utmost The
principle of the bill was to give free educa-
tion without disturbing tlio status of the
schools He admitted however thatacaso
was mado out for greater control of tho
voluntary schools and that the time was
ripo for the managers to consider whether
popular control could not be introduced
without injury Popular control of these
schools meant the establishment of school
boards in their placewhich would involve
tho addifional cost of 10000000 per year
which the country would not grant Under
Fowlers proposal Chamberlain continued
popular control would apply to fivesixths
of the church schools but not to tho Wes
leyanor Catholic schools In conclusion
Chamberlain said that ho earnestly wished
to see free education conferred upon tho
country but Fowlers motion complicated
the government measure and he hoped it
would be rejected
Goschen declared that there was no proof
of the existence of religious oppression In
tho voluntary schools and popular control
would fall to solve tho difficulty of religious
intolerance which occurred occasionally
Ho concluded by quoting from Gladstones
speech to the effect that it would be folly
to refuse the powerful aid to secular educa-
tion provided by religious zeal
Fowlers motion was rejected 276 to 160

Another curious development in the ster-

abrupt change in the course of stock prices
One of tho most imi > ortant exchange houses
appeared unexpectedly in the mar-
ket as large sellers of sight bills
ThU depressed sterling rates at
once and will in all probability
prevent furthc export of gold this week
especially as omittances for July interest
payments oi the other side are now about
ended This action of Drexel Morgan A
Co was not anticipated yesterday by th
banking community because all negotiations
then pointed to a profit in buying rather
than selling exchange With concession
in rates these sales could not havo been
mado at a profit but tiiujrrket is held at
present quotations or lower than for i

moveracut may not prove to bo permanent
but the situation imt t continue to be reg-
ulated in a large measure by the attitude of

in this country it is a reserve a finan < ia
