Altered. | —_— WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—The House Committe on Interstate and Foreign Commerce to-day reconsidered the Nica- ragua canal bill, which had been reported with an appropriation of $140.000,000, and changed the appropriation section so as | to make $10,000,000 available, with author- ity to contract for the entire excavation | and completion of the canal at a total cost mot exceeding $140,000,000. Before this action was taken Hepburn, chalrman of the committee, sald that as all the members of the committee were anxious for the success of the bill it was well to consider some objections which ad been ralsed. He had heard several jections on the ground that the whole 000,000 was appropriated now and | or four gentlemen had said they would not support the bill if the entire sum were appropriated now, but would | support if ‘a portion’ were made avallabl to begin the work. Cor of Michigan the following new | adopted: Section 6. That the sum of $10,000,000 is | hereby appropriated out of any money in the section, which was | Tressury not otherwise appropriated, toward the project herein contemplated, and the Secre- tary of War is further hereb authorized | enter into a contract or contracts for material and work that may be deemed necessary for the proper excavation, construction, defense and completion of said canal, to be paid for as appropriations may from time to time be here- ter made, not to exceed in | $140,000,000 R Mr. Fletcher of Minnesota asked: | “When you get that canal half buflt for i]fi-‘_,\:ar,fm what will you do for the other a Corlies answered that the highest esti. mate of cost thus far made was $133,000, 000. Hepburn added that in the amended form the bill simply applied the contract system and limited the aggregate to $140,- 000,000. In the amended form the bill was ordered reported. The Pacific cable bill was taken up and General Swayne of New York spoke in favor of private construction and opera- tion of the cable lines, as against Gov- ernment ownership. Fairmount Improvements. The Fairmount Improvement Club de- cided last night to petition the Super- visors to remove “Garnier’s monument” from the center of Palmer street. The “monument” is a manhole, ten feet above the street, but which should be ten feet below the street. It is a menace to travel and of no possible use except to illustrate past methods of the surveyor's office. The club aiso opposed the building of the new City and County Hospital in the Almshouse tract, believing it should be built on_the site where the branch jail stands. ing of Chenery s is now preven! because of an old Valley main that i above the level in the center of the street and the club will take steps to have it removed.

DARE SPEAKS HIS MIND FREELY. e United States Tea Examiner Cornelius | Toohey and Tea Expert Charles B. Platt ! | bave concluded their examination of the 300 samples of tea forwarded from New | York by the tea expert at that port. | They found that sixty of the samples rep- resented tea of a quality much below the | Government standard and to preclude its | admittance at this port. It should have been rejected at New York. | They will so report to the Secretary of the Treasury and will furnish him with evidence of the existence of a plat on the Atlantic seaboard to divert all the tea | mportations from San Francisco to New York and make the Eastern seaport the | | sole port of entry for the valuable com- | modity. The news caused much commotion yes. | terday in local commercial cireles. It hae | been suspected all along that such a plot | was in course of development, but the absolute proof was not obtained until yes- terday. | No blame is attached to the Secretary | of the Treasury for making the order re- quiring that samples of all teas admitted | or rejected at United States ports should | be sent for revision to the tea expert at New York, the object of the Treasury | Department being to have the Govern- | mental standard interpreted in a uniform manner. There is no doubt that the reve- lations made will induce the Secretary to adopt some other plan of accomplishing | this object and place the work of re-| vision in the hands of disinterested per- sons. | *Messrs. Toohey and Platt, the tea ex- aminer and expert, respectively, declined to make public the result of their investi- | gations, but United States Appraiser John | T. Dare consented to make a full state. ment, in order that the business of this port might be protected against the un- | derhanded encroachments of rival ports. | “In August and September, 15 Mr. Dare said, ‘“‘the tea importers of New York asserted their belief that tea was being admitted at San Francisco that would, if examined at New York, be re- jected. They reiterated that statement and finally induced the Board of Tea Ex- perts at New York to appeal to the Sec- retary of the Treasury. In that appeal they ‘alleged absolutely that unfair teas were being admitted at San Francisco. In October Assistant Secretary Spauld-| ing, wholly intent upon securing a uni- | form application of the tea act, requested | me to forward to New York triplicate | | samples of all teas, both approved and rejected. This office promptly replied that we were in full sympathy with the hon- | orable Secretary in his efforts to secure | | uniformity in the application of the regu- lations, and we at once forwarded from | San Francisco to New York the triplicate samples requested, suggesting at that time that, in furtherance of the design of the Secretary to secune such uniform- ity, New York should send to us samples of 'tea which had been passcd upon by the New York expert. “Our request was not at once granted, | and we continued to forward our samples to New York and, so far as we had been officially informed, there had been no ma- | terial changes. = _Assistant Secretary Spaulding then yielded to the request that New_York send some of her samples to n_Francisco. | We have received from time to time | about 300 samples. Sixty of those have | ‘b»en found unfit and should have been | rejected at the port of New York. There | is no_ bias in this matter whatever, for Mr. Platt and Mr. Lovell and Mr. Bain have approved of the findings of Mr. Toohey.” | Trebelli Farewell Recital This After- noon. Mile.

OLLIER MIAM A TOTAL WRECK Broke in Two When the Tide Went Out. e e Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 26.—The steamer Miami is a total loss. She has broken in two parts and one half this morning slid down into deep water. Her captain and crew have abandoned her and were taken to Chemanius by the tug Lorne. Further details of the wreck were brought by the Lorne. She reports that the Miami left Oyster Bay at 7 o'clock yesterday morn- ing in chnr%e of Pilot Butler, with 5000 tons of coal for San Francisco. It seems that she was taking a short cut between Danger Reef and White Rocks, where there is a channel half a mile wide, | instead of going by the generally used track to the north of Danger Reef, where a beacon has recently been established. She was running at full speed and sud- denly brought up with a crash that shiv- ered her from end to end. She was hard and fast on a reef. The tide was full, and as it fell the middle of her hull settled down and either end sagged away, as there was nothing to support them. The collier Bristol and t rne and Pilot endeavored in vain to haul her off. They could not move her, and as the tide dropped she fell apart. ki ?u morning the two pleces were wrenched apart just forward of the bridge, and the forward end sank out of sight. The after end was awash and gradually sliding down Into the sea. Ste- vedore Yorke, who went up last night with scows, Is endcnvarlnf to save some of her cargo. An investigation will be held here when the captain and crew ar- rive. They are expected by to-morrow’s train. —_————————— John Magee’s Funeral. % The funeral of John Magee, who re- cently died at the Occidental Hotel, has caused considerable gossip on account of what 1s regarded as the Inexplicable conduct of his wife. Magee attained prominence by getting into trouble with the Guatemalan republic and receiving fifty lashes as a reward for his temerity, Great Britain finally taking cognizance of the affair and forcing the Central American republic into making amends to him in the sum of $0,000. It was su ed that e was many times a mil- ionaire, but he had a good deal of trouble in obtaining money enou to meet current expenses, and sever dis- patches were required In order to get his ‘wife, who lives in Paris, to take any no- tice of his {llness.

BY LUCY \\'-HEF.LO(’I\'. The Care of Infancy. We have been slow to learn the le of the Great Teacher, who set a ch on n the midst of hi viples as an obj.ct of reverence and study. Man has taken all | | knowledge as his province and left as that last to be conquered a knowledge of the | human being destined to make the world | that is to be. Classical learning has absorbed the at- tention of scholars to the exclusion of the study weich really concerns the welfare of the human race. ncer lamented in his time the inadeq riculum, which made tion for everything but the functior of parenthood. He pictur the amazement of some antiquary of the future who should unearth text books and Sp of the school cur- prepara- 1l elaborate highest of school papers, and finding no reference to | training for such duties should conclude them to be relics of a race of celibates. ““'Tis true 'tis pity,” and ala true. An examination of the curricula of most of our colleges and seminarfes would reveal the same inadequacy to meet the real needs of life. The higher education of women does not ordinarily Inciudc reference to the possibility of mothe hood. But there are signs of promis few courses of study are offered here | there based on an enlightened conception | of the high calling of woman, as “the fir:t priestess of the human race.” Mothers" clubs and classes for mothers in our kin- dergarten training schools are springing up all over the land in evidence of an awakening public sentiment as regards the responsibility of the care of child- | hood. The overwhelming attendance and the great enthusiasm shown at the first moth- ers' congress, held three years agd In | Washington, was a surprise, even to its It was convineing testimory of a growing sense of need on the rt of many women. Another promising sign of the times is the wealth of child study literature. In the second edition of Tra- cy’'s “Psychology of Childhood,”” published in 1894, he refers to no less than 105 pub- lished sources of informat The_ list would now be largely increased. Since Preyer's notable record of his obseria- tlons of an individual child there have been many studies of this sort, the larger portion of which concern themselves with the period of infancy. The interest in child study, largely promoted by Dr. Hall and his associates, has acted like leaven throughout the country. The “divin Plato” has never been alone in recognizing the importance of beginnings, “especially when a thing is young and tender.” Lut practice must always lurk far behind the- cry, and there is still need of some apos- tles of childhood to convince mothers everywhere that the foundation of all tu- ture physical and moral well-being must be laid deep in the soil of infancy. Food. “As a man eateth so is he” is a phil sophical statement of a truth which mc ers and nurses reed often to reh themselves. Whether the child i well or ill, strong or weak, sluggish or promoters. active, self-controlled or the unhappy vie- | tim of a morbid appetite, depends largely on kind and amount of food and regulai- ity of feeding. These matters are not to be declded by the advice of fond grand- mothers or the traditions of nurses, but by the scientific knowledge of the mother trained to understand the physical needs of an infant. One of the most helpful of recent books, Louise E. Hogan's “Study of a Child,” gives a faithful and impartial record of the life of a normal child, The points most insisted upon in the manage- ment of the young child were regularity in matters pertaining to physical care and non-interference with the developirg mind, that there might be free plav of the individuality and self-activity. The care taken to insure right habits of body and mind on the part of all who came into any relations with the child might well serve as a model in other homes. In his “Christian Nurture, which has become a classic, Dr. Bushnell lays emphasis on the fact that injudicious | feeding in babyhood and highly seasoned and rich_foods are the prolific sources of perverted appetite and gross excess. In- temperance is excess or lack of modera- tion, and its seeds are sown whenever and wherever the senses of the young child are allowed to_ become masters rather than servants. Froebel has devot- ed two of his songs in the ‘““Mutter und | to a consideration of the senses of taste and smell, showing the importance of cultivation of these “min- isters of the mind’ through the medium of the baby plays. He advises that the child’s attention be diverted during eat- ing by a moving bird in a cage which can be fed, or by the suggestion of sharing the food with some other pet. This pre- vents the food and its enjoyment from becoming an end in itself. Clothing. 'Our first gifts to our children are fet- ters,” writes Rousseau, in _condemning the customary methed of clothing infants. The traditional long clothes and bands must impede the freedom of movement recessary to develop muscular strength. The emancipated mother discards all elab- orate long skirts and dresses and makes her baby comfortable in slip: Like the Froebel mother, she watches the free play of the limbs and rejoices in the growing strength of her baby, as she sings: In and out! In and out! Toss the little limbs about, Toss the little baby feet; That's the way to grow, my sweet, Environment. Environment is another emphatic word in the mother's vocabulary. What the baby is first to see, what he is first to hear—these are matters of prime impor- tance. “Through the senses the child's =oul lles open. Keep the impressions ure.”” Who has seen a bfib{ stretch out gll little hands and coo with delight be- fore some favorite picture without realiz- ing the need of a wise selection of scenes and subjects for the nursery walls? Ana let the picture be hung for the baby's eyes and not for the adult visitor. Love of order and habits of neatness, regularity and punctuality have their genesis in the orderly surroundings and examples of the nursery period. The importance of guard- ing the early Influences surrounding the child is nowhere more clearly set forth than in Froebel's collection of songs and plays for mothers and children. In the arrangement of the songs we discover the order and time of manifestation of the various psychic activities of the infant. The pictures in the first part of the book rtray successive scenes in the great gglmu of unfolding consciousness. The first picture shows the physical moment when the infant, “new to earth and sky vaguely 55'118 to feel that “This is The succeeding play songs illustrate such physical experiences as the first imitative act, betokening the birth of will; the cus- ual notion indicated by the why and what of the childish questions, the recognition of change and time, thedevelopment of the senses from the lower subjective sensations of taste and smell to the higher activity of sight, the gradual grouping of sensa- tions into ever clearer perceptions and the formation of ideas of form, size and num- ber—‘‘three paths to the goal of knowl- edge.” jut the mother’s Interest in her child s not psychologle, and the chief value of Froebel's book for her lles in the hints and suggestions given to guide her in her dally intercourse with her little one. Its avowed aim is to replace the mothey in- Stinct by insight, to add to the mother- Jove “the sweet reasonableness” which shall Insure true nurture. There is no need to create artificial experiences as in Rousseau’s “Emile” to teach the lessons s:lllfe. ‘The experiences come of them- ves. The scientific understanding of the in- fant’s bodily needs, the elimination of all harmful influences in the nursery en- vironment, with the selection of the good, and the loving wisdom which “‘suffers* the free play of the taneities of ba- oyhood, the formation of Kose-Lieder” it is still | right habits—these are the essentials im the care of infancy.

Songs and Games. In the plays of children Froebel discov- ers ‘“‘the heart leaves of the future.” The If when h energles are employed, special powers and ten- ed in this free mani- An English writer on this subject characterizes neglect in fos- tering such special tastes and capacities as ruthless waste of national capital. It is possible that child study in the kinder- garten may prevent some of this waste, especially “when mothers and kinder- gartne: ve the frequent opportunities for con ce afforded by the mothers’ meetings. Long before Froebel's time Plato, Quin- tilian and other educational writers had insisted upon v t the plays of children as a paration for the seri- ous business of life,” but it was reserved or “the apestle of childhood” to fathom “the deep meaning which oft lies hid in | childish play” and to make it the corner- stone of his educational foundation The musical setting of the kindergarten plays makes them “orderly and law- abiding”” and through the medium of song we believe with Plato that rhythm and grace enter into the recesses of the soul and abide there. The organized play, vhen rightly conducted, preserves the true balance between lawful liberty and | license, and in nowise interferes with the spontaneity of childh Freedom a law are inseparable terms, and one of the important lessons of the kindergarten | game is that the good of the individual | is_conditior e good of the whole. | The only one t happy is the one who won't play n of others an subordinatic | plain virtues to be | aet and habitud circle is the tues because order to play at all. Imitation. Froebel was the first of child students to discover the signific ¢ in child life. “Wh. 5 ent, that he begins to 1 motfo.

Froebel would utilize this instinct for imitation by giving a wide range to play and di- récting it to an educational end.” His spe- cial plays include those which represent | movements in the plant and animal world, im the family and other relationships and domestic_and industrial activiti The miner, the farmer, the baker, the car- penter are true heroes of toil because they are necessary to make the wh of the great world turn round.

The Gifts. No s%}vn(‘y of the kindergarten has been 80 much questioned and so often pervert- ed as the gifts. Froebel did not intend them to become a means of instruction in geometry and arithmetic, but rather to turnish an “alphabet of things" by which | the young pupil in nature’s school may Eliot advocates as begin “to spell out the volume of the universe.” He attaches great importance to the selection of children’s playthings, which are to serve as mediators between themselves and the world. A wise giver bestows the “gift"” which helps the child to realize himself by giving free play to the fancy and scope to the constructive powers. “Let me see,” “Let me do" are the constant demands of the normal child. Through clear seeing the world-chaos is gradually to be reduced to order. Defl- nite perceptions in place of confused and vague notions of things are to be. ac- quired through forming the habit of in- terested observation nn§ attention to what one sees. The kindergarten playthings are intended to facilitate this process of observation and comparison by supply- ing standards of form, celor, size and number. It is needless to state that the spectal “gifts do not exclude the use of ra- tional objects, but lead to a larger inter- est In seeing and ush)“h all other good glns of a wise Giver. ey are only the l'ghabet not the volume. he material of the gifts offers noth. ing novel. Balls, blocks and rings are common plaything: As used in the kin- dergarten they satisfy the constructive instinct which would recreate the worll. The simple and manageable material lends itself readily to the desires of the mind. The value over other material lles in the fact of organization and progres- sfon. so that the child grows by what he does and finds at every stage what is suited to his needs.
