THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Oommenoce to Talk About Proposed Amend- ments to the Oity Charter. WORE MONEY NEEDED FOR SOME PURPOSES Pr om Advanced to Vote B at Fall Election to Take up the Floating Indebtednes of the City. Bince the levy has heen made there is more talk than ever about having changes made in the charter at the next session of the legislatui Members of the counell give it out that a committee will soon be appointed to go over the charter and pick out the defects and then the cily attorney will be requested to draft amendments. What is wanted Is permicsion to make a larger levy for fire, water, police, strest repairs and street lights. There is con- stant demand from the peple for improve- ments and the money can only be secured by levying taxes. Very likely at the fall election a proposition will be submitted to the people to vote on an issue of bonds o take up the overlap and provide money to pay Interest. At the present time the general bonded debt of the city is $307,- 000, and the district indebtedness s $22! 000. With an Issue of bonds, such as s coutemplated the Intercst could be greatly reduced and thua there would be a saving to the taxpayers. Ths council proposes 1o exercise the utmost economy in all de- partments this year in order to further reduce the levy next year, With an in- crease In valuation which is expected It is thought that the levy next year will be cut to 7 mills. This will be an assured fact provided the people will vote bonda this fall to take up the overlap and pro- wvide for interest due on outstanding bonds. Search W Served.

Amusements. Krug Park. Despite the coolness and dublous skies last evening, the magnetism of harmony drew a blg attendance to Krug park. The special event was & ragtime concert by Huster's band, which was enthusiastically recelved, the mood of the crowd being tem- pered in the same lively, happy spirit of the ragtime airs. Huster had his band re- spond to a number of encores and gra- clously bowed acknowledgement for the honor. The vaudeville portion of the even- ing’s bill was contributed by Tom, Babe and Fred, a trio of acrobats, who perform the Iatest difficult feats of equilibrism and introduce some new features in thelr line. One of the members is a cleverly-trained canine, which is said to be the only dog “topmounter.” The next number was a slack-wire and trapeze performance by Beno. As usual, the “Passion Play” was shown. Will Make You Feel Younger. Blectric Bitters are a marvelous tonic, and work wonders for a weak, run-down system. Try them. Only S0ec.

Antl-s Mr. Knight, & prominent member of the Anti-Saloon league, called at The Bee office last night to say that the membert of the league were not at all disappointed at the action of the city councll in refer- ring their petition to the mayor. Continuing, Mr. Knight said: “Permit us to say, through the columns of The Bee, that the league is not disappointed by the council not having taken amy action on our petition, in which we requested that the laws regarding the sale of liquor be enforced. Referring the matter to the mayor is exactly what the members of the league desired. From the first the league has taken the ground that the mayor, being the chief executive of the eity, and baving control of the police.force, is the officiul ,responsible for the enforeement of the laws and- he is the one we will look, to for re- sults.” oon League Matters.

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT CONVENTION High Water Mark Reached and Over Twenty Thou Are Gathered City of ™M MINNEAPOLIS, July 0.-—~High water mark in the attendance at the National Education assoclation convention has probably been attained and it is assured that the attendance record has been broken. The visitors in the city today were estimated at considerably over 20,000. A good-natured rivalry has sprung up be- tween Towa and Wisconsin for the largest delegation from any other state other than Minnesota. Each state claims 2,000 present. Indiana will probably hold third place. The department meetings were all well attended today and there were fifteen of them. Tomorrow there will be thirteen meetings and Friday, when the convention closes, there will be twelve. The feature of the day was the great meeting of the general association tonight In the Expo- sition buflding. The attendance did not fall far short of 10,000 people. Hon. Michael Ernest Sadler, LL. D., director of Inquiries and reports of the education office, London, England, was the first speaker, and taking as his theme, “Hope,” for nearly an hour held his audi- ence with one of the most thoughtful and scholarly addresses delivered as yet before the assoclation. He spoke of educational work in England and showed clearly that there 1s a close relationship between the work and the workers in the two countrles and that great good would result from Interchange of ideas, suggestions and ex- perience, The principal address of the session was delivered by Archbishop John Ireland of St. Paul. The well known churchman and orator was at his best and was given a warm reception by the great assemblage. Chief Virtue of the Preacher. “Devotion to the Truth, the Chlet Virtue of the Preacher,” was the subject of the archbishop's address. Particular interest was shown In the archbishop's reference to the Spanieh-American war and to condi- tlons In the Philippines. He sald in par 1 am one of those who see In the quence of the late Spanish American war the gulding hand of a mighty providence aud the outburst of forces long gathering in the bosom of the nation, sure, at one moment or another, to break out in a re- tless self-assertion. Nevertheless, 1 never deny that among the immed! causes of the war there are to be number the exaggerated statements, the lies, too, and the calumnies, the ceaseless appe to wild and reckless passion, which dlsfl ured and disgraced the utterances of cer- tain newspaper writers and of certain other manipulators of public opinion. 1 know for a fact that the instructions going from the office of a newspaper to its Buropean cor- respondent read this wise “With all that makes nothing that tends to prevent or delay it." 1f 1 were to choose where outside the room for the general welfare of hu- manity I should have devotion to truth revail; 1 should name the newsYlpera, he newspaper 18 total today pre-eminently the mentor of the people.

Tomorrow another general session will be held, when James Wilson, secretary of agriculture; Mre. Carrle Chapman Catt of New York and Dr. Jacob Gould Schur- mann, president of Cornell university, will speak. i g Department Meetings. The morning was given over to meetings of the following departments: Kinder- garten, secondary education, normal schools, manual training, music and In education. In the afternoon the followlng held meetings: Higher education, art, business education, child study, physical education, sclence, Instruction, special ed- ucation. The teature of the normal school meeting was the address of Dr. David Felmley, president of the Illinols State Normal School university, on the meed of more practical work in normal echools and the coneentra- tlon and co-ordination of the work on the teaching of the actusl instead of the the- oretical ¢hild as the ultimate purpose of normal education. A striking paper was read in the kinder- gartcu section by Mary C. May, director of | the kindergarten department of the State | Normal school, Salt Lake City, Utah, on de- fects in the teaching of English. The greatest deficlencies {n the department sys- tem she defined as poor power of expre slon. especially orally, poor spelling, pun tuation and composition,. inability to grasp vital facts and lack of appreciation of va ues. The greatest needs she enumerated were training in clear, definite, brief power of statement, greater simplicity of expres- elon for teacher and pupil, greater power of illustration and marked -extension of oral, combined with written work, System of Supervision. James Remsen of Cincinnati aroused the enthusiasm of the secondary educational department by his demand for a closer system of supervision of schools by the state. He pointed out that the extraordi- nary activity in educational matters had given rise to confusion and lack of co- ordination. Present state bureaus, he de- clared, do not supervise thoroughly and ell because too small and underpald. In the department of business education the president, 1. O. Crissy of the regents office, Albany, N. Y., sald that a commit- tee of nine had spent the year formulating a general course of procedure and detafled courses of study for business education In public high schools. The demand for four- year courses was so strong and showed so decided a trend toward practical busin instructfon that the committee's work wai most important. A. E. Winship, editor of the Journal of Education, Boston, read a strong and s gestive paper on the disciplinary value of commercial studies as opposed to the old Idea that higher mathematics was best for disciplining the mind.

In the department of higher education George N. Carlan, director of the Lewls in- stitute, Chicago, made the second annual report for the commission on aceredited schools, whose object it is to establish closer relations between the colleges and second- ary schools of the north central states. The commission consists of forty members, equally divided between colleges aad sec- ondary schools, and its purpose is to effect rensonable uniformity in requirements for admission to colleges. If its plan 1s put into operation any graduate of any school in the accredited district may enter any col- lege in the aseoclation without examina- tion. Its work Is held to be a long step toward & desirable national uniformity among lead- ing schools and colleges. Hold Department Meetings. Of the department meetings held this afternoon the one of most general interest was that of speclal education, held at the Hennepin Avenue Methodist Eplscopal church. Dr. David Graham Bell, the in- ventor of the telephone and president of the department, explained the objects of the department and the wonderful work which it and the educators of defectives throughout the country is doing. Dr. Bell remarks were frequently interrupted by applause. In the course of his address he id ‘One of the greatest defects of the present methods of the education of defec- tives is the sending them to special schools and taking them away from the home. This can in a large measure be done away with by the establishment of day schools for speclal instruction as a part of our regular public school system. Of course I do not advocate the doing away of the speclal | schools, but the work is only a small part of what could be mccomplished by a well organized system with an eficient corps of trained instructors. Children partially de- fectlve are at the present time drifting along without adequate instruction, and the condition as it now exists should be rem- edied at once. Among the other speakers was W. T. Harris, United States commissioner of ed- ucation, who spoke om “Eye-Mindednees.” ROYAL ACHATES CELEBRATION First Anniversary of Lodge Ob d by Ceremonies. Royal Oak lodge No. 200 of the Royal Achates was installed Just a year ago and there were great dolngs last night in honor of the former event and In celebration of this, its first anaiversary.

OFFERS REBELS COMPLETE AMNESTY Promise is Also Made to Reform Ex- isting Electoral Laws Over Which the Revo tionists Have Been Fighting. WASHINGTON, July 9.—Senor Don Jose Concha, the Colomblan minister at Wash- ington, today made the following statement regarding the terms offered the revolution- ists in Colombla if they will surrender and of the existing conditions in that country: The Colombian government has offered to the rebels complete amnesty, freedom of prisoners, help for transportation of the chiefs and soldlers of the rebel army to their domiciles, with true security for their persons and property, reform of the electoral laws, with the intervention of the prominent members of the revolution- ary party, immediate convocation of con- gress and guarantees of liberty and secur- ity of suffrage in the next elections. The Colomblan president, Senor Marroquin, was not in office when the revolution started in 1899, and what he offers today was the same he offered during his first adminis- tration in 1898. The liberal directory in Bogota has accepted the terms offered by the president and & great number of heads of guerrillas in the center of the country have surrendered, but the leader of the rebellion abroad, Senor Vargas Santos, has asked for the payment of the debts cou- tracted in foreign countries by the rebels and for the appointment of several mem- bers of the relel forces to government po- sitions, Demands Not Conceded. These two demands have not been con- ceded. The conduct of Senor Santos is not approved by the majority of his party, and hence this chief has limited his preten- sions to the appointment of & new gov- ernment, but the government has not yet answered this proposition. In Washington the matter Is conducted by the Colombian minister, who requested from the rebel leader, Senor Santos, the issuance of a solemn protest a, nst the intervention of foreign governments in the Colomblan elvil war, an intervention which was originated with the purpose of awak- ening Colombla in order to decide after- wards the controversies of boundaries be- tween those forelgn countries and Colom- bla. The rebel leader has declined to tssue and publish such a protest. The Interior of Colombia s nearly pa cified, the principal chiefs of the rebe lion, Vargas, Uribo-Uribe and Soto, have left the country after serious defeats. The only point t which the war continues with any importance is at Panama. The purpose of the rebels today is reduced to that of mmintaining & situation that will make impossible the regular administra- tion of public aftairs, especially in the isthmus, and protecting in this manner the interests of a neighbor which has a great interest in those disorders, so as to prejudice the United States against the canal and prevent negotiations in this mat To remuneral the rebels’ service with supplies of arms, ammunition and sol- dlers with which to kill Colombian breth- ren, to annihilate public wealth and de- stroy the hope of progress of their own native country.
