"I want , " said the senator , ' "to get the treaty disposed of as soon as possible. I consider It u good treaty and I neslrn to. have It ratified as soon as Ic can be done. I do not think there Is any doubt that It will be ratified by the senate. This opinion Is the result of more or less conference with senators and I am further confirmed In the opinion by the merit of the treaty Itself. It Is a clear , strong , well-worded document. Its ratification will Insure an Improvement In our relations with China , and , I am sure , Increase our commerce with the people of that country , which , considering their num ber , Is an Important desideratum. They are capable of consuming a large portion of the products of this country , and If the present treaty Is accepted by this country It will go a long way toward disposing the Chinese to trade with us.

Children Shut Out from Schools In Until louu mill Nithrnskn. The unstable policy of the Missouri rlvor has given rlso to a new complication for which the county superintendent of schools will bo called upon to find a remedy. On the east sldo of the river about five miles above the city Is a considerable section of land which has been decided by the courts to bo Nebraska soil. It was originally on this sldo of the river but during ono of the Eoml-occa.slonal changes of base executed by the Dig Muddy It was Isolated from Its for mer surroundings and forced much against Us will to touch elbows with the over hanging bluffs of the prohibition state. On this plot of land are located upwards of a dozen families who though living on the Iowa sldo of the river ore supposed to bo citizens of Nebraska. As this qualified cltrzenshlp has never caused any embar rassment the occupants of the territory have never expressed any dissatisfaction with the present state of affairs und have taken their Isolation from the rest of the state as n mat ter of course. llut as the years rolled by children were born to them , and they have continued to multiply until more than a score of bable& have struggled through the eras of teething and measles and have arrived at the age where their minds require some sort of edu cational development. Hero Is where the diniculty begins. The Iowa schools will not receive the children as pupils on the ground that they are children of Nebraska parents , llvo In Nebraska and that Ne braska should properly defray the ex pense of their education. There Is no bridge across the river at that point , and consequently there Is no school to which these children can be sent. The parents have talked the matter over many times , but wore unable to hit upon any plan that seemed feasible. Some of the parents called on Secretary Clllan of the Uoard of Education to see If the board could not make pome provision for their relief. They represented that they were absolutely without school facili ties for their children and that unless home- thing was done they would bo obliged to see their offsprings grow up In Ignorance or else abandon their homes , which they have worked hard to pay for , nnd move to some locality where they were not educationally handicapped. The matter was outside of the city and the Jurisdiction of the board , but Mr. Glllan sent them over to the county superintendent of Instruction , who , It was thought , might afford them some relief. As there la no way of getting across the river except by boats , the only way of getting the children Into a school seems to bo the establishment of a district school on their territory. The county superintendent liafe the power to organize a district upon the consent of one- third of the voters In the territory affected , and an effort will bo made to obtain a school under this provision.
