Peary Lays His Plnn Before the Geographical Soctety. “Arctic exploration may be regarded as safe. This is shown by the experience of the last ten years,” said Civil Engineer R. E. Peary, U. S. N., in an address before the American Geographical Society in New York last night, in acknowledgment of the Cullum gold medal. “Noting 1s to be gained by numbers; in fact, numbers ere a distinct danger, and the frightful catastrophes of previous work. are, in my opinion, directly traceable to that cause. .The entire animus of the aretic regions is against large parties. “Where three men will get along in safety and comfort, six would merely exist on half rations, and twelve die of starvation. “The two-men party is the {deal one: both Nansen and myself have proved this. “The leader of the expedition must be at the head of the advance party; no success- ful arctic party can be led from the rear.” Lieut. Peary then proceeted to outline his plan for “the conquest of the north pole, the complete delimitation of the Greenland archipelago, the last of the cir- cumpolar island groups, and the elimina- tion from our maps of the unknown area between the 84th parallel and the pole.” “My plan in fewest words is to raise a fund sufficient to insure the continuation of the work of exploration for ten years, if necessary, say, $150,000, and deposit it in a trust company; purchase a ship; give her a minimum crew: load with concentrated pro- visions; proceed to Whale sound; take on board several picked families of my. faith- ful Eskimos, with their tents, canoes, dogs, etc.; force a way through Robinson chan- nel to Sherard Osborne fjord or farther, and land people and stores; then send the ship back. “As soon as the freezing of the ice in the great fjords of the northwest coast would permit sledge travel, the work of advancing suppHes northeastward. #igng the coast would be commenced, taking comparatively short stages and light loads,-so that the trips could be quickly mag the supplies had been ad: a ‘d the first stage, the party itself would move for- ward, leaving a cache behind, and, as they would be following Eskima customs and living in snow houses, this:eould easily be done. ous “Then the second stage ¢f adyance would be taken up, and the work, cazried on un- til the departure of the san, iach of the brilliant winter moons ofwthe. polar night would afford opportunities: for continuing. {t, so that early spring shohla find the party and the bulk of its supplies located at the northern terminus of the ‘North Greenland archipelago, probably not far from the 85th parallel, with caches behind it at each prominent headland. “From this point, when thet proper time came, with picked dogs, thé lightest pos- sible équipment, and two Qf, the best of the Eskimos, the dash for the. pole would be attempted, with strong probabilities of a successful termination. -** ) “Each succeeding summéf the shin would attempt to establish communication with the party's base, succeeding probably every other year at first, then, with increasing experience, every year, and keep up its supply of food, dogs and Eskimos until the objects of the expedition were accom- plished. “Should the ship be unsuccessful in the passage of Robinson channel the first year, the party would land at Hayes’ sound, and devote the first year to explorations of that unknown region. “Retreat from the colony at Sherard Os- borne fjord would always be practicable across the inland ice to Whale sound. “In a nutshell, my project means, First: The raising of a sum sufficient to insure persistent, continued effort, so that if the attempt fails the first year it can be re- peated the next, and the next, and the next, until it {s done. “Second: The establishment of a party of picked Eskimo families, a surgeon and an experienced leader at the highest prac- ticable point on the northwest coast of Greenland; with ample supplies; means of communication, which would enable the colony to sustain itself until its work is accomplished, and with a practicable tine of retreat entirely independent of the ship.” ———<—— THE GREATEST BEER DRINKERS. New York City Consumed Nearly Five Million Barrels Last Year. New York consumes more beer than any other city In the country. During the year 1896, 4,918,808 barrels of beer were sold in the eastern metropolis. Chicago comes next with a record of 3,198,222 barrels sold during the year. The amount of beer sold.in Chicago last year is 549,887 barrels more than during the previous year. This is the largest in- crease noted in any city. New York comes next with 227,344 barrels increase over the previous year. New Orleans shows a de- crease of 62 barrels as compared with the previous year. The popularity of beer in ‘Cincinnati 1s also apparently waning, as there were 7,020 barrels less sold last year than during the year before. This is the largest decrease shown in any city. The reason given for this condition is that both are southern cities and that the people in that section are gradually showing a pref- erence for light American wines, especially California claret.

CHANGES IN TEACHERSHIPS a A regular meeting of the board of trus- tees of public schools was held at the Franklin building last evening, with a full attendance, as follows: Messrs. Whelpley, Barnard, Hazen, Wilson, Cornish, Shadd, Bruce and Harries, Mrs. Stowell and Mrs. Terrell. Superintendents Powell and Cook were also present. The minutes of a spe- cial meeting held on the 16th ultimo were approved. That meeting was secret in character, and its proceedings, in brief, are now for the first time made public. It was called for the special purpose of consider- ing the case of the Anthony Bowen schooi building, at the corner of 10th and E streets, in South Washington. At the last session of Congress an appropriation of $30,000 was made to add to the site of the buildirg and to rebuild it. The building had been condemned as unfit for school purposes, and the appropriation was made for the purpose of enlarging it and render- ing it perfectly safe. The pupils formerly taught there have been distributed amonz the other colored schools in the same di- vision, and the consequence ts that they are taxed beyond their normal capacity. The Board's Desire. For some reason, not stated, work on the Huilding, under the appropriation, has been suspended, and the meeting was called to consider the matter. According to the minutes, Dr. Hazen made a motion that the board recommend to the District Commis- ners that the appropriation in questior be transferred to, and used in, the pur- chase of a site and the erection of a build- ing for colored schools in the southeast Section of the fourth division. The motion was lost, and on motion of Mr. Cornish, the secretary of the board was instructed to inform the District Commissioners of that action. This is interpreted to mean that the board js opposed to the use of the ap- propriation for any other purpose than the rebuilding of the present Anthony Bowen building. Although it does not appear on the minutes, it. is understood that the white residents in the vicinity of 10th and E streets southwest want to get rid of the cclored school there, and exerted themselves to induce the District Commissioners to suspend execution of the law making the appropriation. Considcrable business of a routine char- acter was transacied at last night's meet- ing. Three months’ granted in the y C. las, Miss G. R. Simpson, Miss Hedrick and Miss Emma A. Gilberry, teachers. Building Wanted In Eckington. A communication was received from Mr. Wm. G. Hertderson, president of the North Capitol and Eckington Citizens’ Associ: tion, in regard to better school facilities for that section of the city. The letter is ad- dressed to the District Commissioners, and asks that they estimate for an eight-room school building for Eckington, instead of a four-room buiiding. Mr. Henderson says that a committee of the citizens’ associa- tion is ‘to have a hearing before the L trict of Columbia appropriation commi tee in regard to the general needs of Eck- ington, and that he would like to be able at that time to advocate the Commission- ers’ estimate for an cight-room schocl house. : The secretary was instructed to notify Mr. Henderson that the superintendent of svhools, at. the request of the subcommittee ‘of appropriations on the District of Colum- bia, had already supplied them with the information suggested. “In naming the or- der of importance in which school houses estimated for should be appropriated, the superintendent had named the Eckingten schoo} ‘sixth in order, and at the sam time had recommended that an eight-room building be appropriated for, instead of a four-room buliding, as named in the orig- inal estimates. “The Eckington people,”said the superin- tendent, “have no school house near them, and have suffered from this hardship for a number of years. They have children enough in that immediate vicinity to fill an eight-room building, and should have an eight-room building, instead of a four- room building, at the earliest moment give them the facilities now enjoyed by other suburban places and the city in gen- eral.” leave of absence w Teachers Appointed. On motion of Mr. Wilson Miss Margaret Donaldson was appointed a teacher of the first grade in the Home Industrial School, vice Miss M. A. Douglass, resigned. Miss Donaldson is now connected with the insti- tution, and her appointment was recom- mended by the board of directors. Be- cause of the peculiar features of the case the board made it an exception to the rule confining the lower grade appointments to the list of normal graduates. On the recommendation of the committee on music and penmanship Miss Alice Strange Davis was appointed teacher of music in the ninth, tentn and eleventh divisions, at $650 per annum. Other changes in the schools were re- ported and approved by the board as fol- lows: Second division—Promote Miss A. A. Chesney from seventh to eighth grade at $050; Miss K. E. Kaiser from sixth to seventh grade, at $825; Miss B. E. Parsons, from fifth to sixth grade, at $775; Miss D. W. Boyd from fourth to fith grade, at $700; Miss M.

Appoint Alice Davis teacher of music, at $650. Eleventh division—Appoint Madge L. Wil- <poeres teacher, vice Jennie E. Brooks, re- signed. S Krank R. Connor was appointed janitor of the Johnson School, Mt. Pleasant, vice Mr. Sondmyer, transferred. Douglass Day. - Mrs. Terrell made a motion that Febru- ary 14 be set apart in the colored schools ‘as Douglass day. In response to an in- ‘quiry as to why this should be done, Bu- perintendent Cook stated briefly that Fred. ‘Douglass had been a great friend of the colored race, that he had been a member of ‘the school board and had been otherwise identified with the cause of public educa- ‘tion in the itzict. tailed to act. as supervising principal of the high schools, including the four white schools and the Colored High School. Cost of Kindergartens. In response to request for information from Mr. Wilson as to the cost of begin- ning the establishment of kindergartens in the public schools, Superintendent Powell stated that the expense of a single kin- dergarten would be $1,100, of which $300 is for rent of room, $250 for equipment, $00 for teacher and $50 for care of room. He added that it might possibly be done for $1,000. “It may be,” said the superintendent, “that we can furnish as many as two or three rooms. That is wholly uncertain. There are eleven divisions. In making a start it would seem that one kindergarten for each division is small enough number. It would seem then that for a beginning in this much desirable work you ought to have $10,000 or $12,000. In this connection it must be remembered that kindergartens will not be a success unless they are prop- erly supervised. Very few persons who are willing to work for $400 or $500 a year are competent to do valuable work, much less to take charge of the whole control of a school. A director of kindergarten work who would be of any value to the city could not be obtained for the salary named or anything like it Mr. Wilsen explained that the District Commissioners had asked for an estimate on the subject, and he moved that the board recommend that an appropriation of $12,000 be made for the establishment of the system. The motion was édopted. On motion of Mr. Harries, Miss Marion Write was appointed teacher of cooking in the Manual Training School. Mr. Harries said this young lady stood nuraber one in the civil service examination of candidates and showed exceptionaliy fine capacity for the werk. Miss Lillie Mount, another can- didate, had nearly equaied her record, and it was suggested that her name be placed on the eligible list, but objection be’ raised as to the propriety of establishing such a list, the subject was temporarily laid aside. On motion of Mr. Harries, the ways and means ecmmittee was instructed to watch legislation affecting the District school ystem closely, and to urge upon the prop- er coagressional committees the importance of making the appropriations asked for by the beard. —>—__ THE MONETARY CONFERENCE. Stuart Patterson of Philadelphia Made Permanent Chairman. The committee on permanent organiza- tion of the monetary conference at Indian- apolis yesterday afternoon recommended C. Stuart Patterson of Pennsylvania for permanent chairman, and Evans Woolen of Indianapolis for permanent secretary. It also recommended that « vice president be chosen from each state. Mr. Patterson was escorted to the chair, and spoke in part as follows: “We may differ as to questions of pro- tection or of revenue reform, but we can agree that the government must have a revenue adequate to its necessary expendl- tures and with a surplus sufficient to pro- vide for possible contingencies. We can agree that as that revenue musi be raised by taxation, such taxation should be so imposed as to lay its burdens upon the beopie in the manner that can most easily be borne. We can agree that the existing standard of value shall be maintained. “We can agree that bimetallism would be desirable if it could be secured by in- ternational treaty and made practicaily effective. We can agree that there ought to be an enlarged and increased use of silver coins convertibie at par into gol We can agree that so long as the goverr ment demand notes are outstanding pro- vision should be made by law for the main- tenance of an adequate gold reserve, spe- cifically pledged for the redemption of those notes. “We can agree as to the fact that while in some cases shareholders of and depos- {tors in national banks have lost by un- skilled or unfaithful management, yet no holder of a national bank note has ever had occasion to inquire what bank issued the note, or has ever lost any part of the amount of the note. We can also agree that the national banking system should be so amended as to provide some method for the more genera! extension of banking facilities to all parts of the country. “And, chiefly, we can agree that the right solution of the currency question in the interest of the whole country and of all the peopie is of grave importance, and should be the subject of more deliberate and detailed consideration than this con- vention can at its present session extend to it, and may properly be referred to such method of investigation as you in your wisdom may decide.” Make the Banks Redeem. Representative J. H. Walker, chairman of the House committee on banking and cur- rency, also made a speech. He said in part “It seems to me the only practical solu- tion of the money question is to put the current redemption of the legal-tender notes and of every form of currency Pproportion- ately upon the banks of this country, where it is In every other country. Then, in justice to them, and to compensate them for the service, allow them to issue currency against their assets to an amount equal to the legal-tender notes of which they re- sumed the current redemption.” Cities Represented.
