Yours Indy, A. .1. rt. THOMAS, Supervisor. WOHK OK lin: OKNSUS. To build up a great ellice like tin Census Oflioo in fifteen months fron absolutely nothing to an oftloionl machine, employing about linet thousand men in Washington am about filly IIIOUSMKI elsewhere ii the country, is a dillienll task, nn< entire success is out of tho question The oilioo naturally compares ilseli with the stage of pr?parai ion ut tallied nt the same period len year; ng?? and tried by this test, it ha gained several months nu its prede oessor. One of lite problems hefon il is how to pul in tho lime thus se cured in such a way ns most to bene lil the census. In the agricultural division tit need of time for preliminary work i perhaps as great as anywhere in th census ollice. Farmers, as a class dn not keep their nccotiuls as well a manufacturers, and the returns fron farmers may occasionally incl Uti serious errors which a trained ey will at once delect. Menee the fan schedules must be examined am such errors corn e < d before th tables can bc made up from then with safety. If a fanner report that his land sown to wheal was te acres and tho yield four thousail bushels, it is clear that an nvorag yield of four hundred bushels to th acre is incredible, and must be n jeeted or corrected in accordant' willi the probabilities. Sometime the truth can 1 : made out by an OJ pert fruin comparison willi i ntrics i other parts nf the schedules ; sonn times correspondence must be opone tu settle tho doubl. All this rani under the general head nf vcrifyill t lie schedules, niel t he ngl'iculttir division plans tu give al! the lim possible tu the WOl'k of verify ill each ol' the million? nf farm schei nh s. To accomplish this in tho tin allowed, the work nf several hui died clerks will be required, ai they must ha VU hard and fast nil lo guide them, h'or example, tin might be told : When the wheat r ports show n product of over for bushels to tho acre, they are sns| rious and must be laid aside fur : expert lo pass upon. Hut any sm rules mus? vary with the section the country. A yield nf twen bushels in one section might be mo i|ii-\slionablo than a yield ul' for bushels in another. Hence the < vision must lix in advance what the range nf reports in eaeli part the country and for each crop tli may be accepted as probable on tin faro and not requiring special exan nation. To got the limits nf prol bi li ty for this purpose fur ea county in the l'uited Slates, thal tho maximum and minimum vii and thc maximum and minimi price which may be accepted wi uni vciilication, is thc object of extensive correspondence HOW bei carried nu by thc agricultural div ion under (lie direction of .Mr. I,.

CHANGES OF SCHOOL LAW. An Important Amendment of Interest to all Con. nocted With the Public Schools. Tho General Assembly, at its re cent session, made some important changes in thc school law, and these changes are just now of special in terest to those who are anxious to improve their school facilities. In an interview a few days ago, Super intendent of Education McMahan explained the changes aa follows : "This is the season of the year when ambitious and progressive neighborhoods are seeking to levy an extra tax for the support of their schools in a more cfliciont manner than can bc done with tho ordinary constitutional tax alone. Tho Legis lature changed tho method of proced ure in the levy of this tax. I shall be obliged to you if you will publish the new law in order that all may know how to make the levy legally. The essential changes aro : "First. Tho petition to thc county board of education shall be by 'one third of tho resident voters and a like proportion of thc resident free holders ol' tho agc of '21 years,' while formerly Ibis petition bad to be signed by only six freeholders of the age of '21 years. "Second. The mass meeting to or der the election is dispensed ?with, and thu board of education orders tho election upon the petition signed by only six freeholders of the age of '21 years. " Third. An elector must have paid taxes, but upon no special amount of property, whereas heretofore he could not vote at this election unless be paid taxes upon $100 worth ol property." Herc is the full text of tlc amended statute tinder which special school districts aro hereafter to bc established : Section 3 I-That thc voters oi electors or any school district win: ;.; t urn real or personal property foi taxation are authorized to levy and eoleet an annual tax to supplement any special or other constitutional ol other lax for like purpose in thc fol lowing manner : Upon the writloi petition or request of at least one third of the resident voters and ? like proportion of the resident free holders of the age of'21 years bein? lilod with tho county board of educa lion, asking for the same and statine the rate of the lax levy proposed which shall not exceed four mills the said county board of oducntioi shall order the board of trustees o said school district to hold an elco lion at some place within the dis trict, after giving notice of the timi and place thereof for at least twi weeks in some newspaper publisho< within the county and by postillj notice thereof in at least three pilbil places within such school district o such length of time, unless there b no newspaper published within th county, in which event the postillj ol' the notice as above shall suflic< al which saul election only such cloe tors as return real or personal prc pelly for taxation and wdio oxhibi their tax receipts and registratio certificates as required in gc nerti elections shall be allowed to vot( At said election the board of trustee shall act as managers and the ?dei lion shall be conducted as provide by law for the conduct of genen elections. At said election cac elector favoring the proposed lev shall casi a ballot containing tl word "yes." printed or writ tc thereon, and each elector opposed I s: I levy shall cast a ballot COU tai I ing tho word "no" printed or writtt thereon. That williin ten days afb such election, if a majority of tho: voling shall vote for such levy, ll board of trustees shall furnish tl county auditor with a statement the amount so levied, and tho audit shall euler thc same in the tax ?Inp catos and lia shall annually, cai year thereafter, enter said amount the tax duplicates until the same increased, decreased Ol' repealed I said taxpayers at an election call for the purpose, and he is ii lilied that tho same has been i creased, decreased or ropealod, a if increased or decreased ho sh annually enter it as before, whi ?lection shall be called and noli given in the same way and mani) as herein provided for thc calling meetings to make the levy and I giving of the notice that it has bc made, and the county treasurer sh collect tho same as other county a S lato taxes.

According to tho official records, since the Amt-ican occupation of the Philippines, .lune 1, 1 SHS, up to February 17, I OOO, the dato of the last official compilation, tho actual mortality in thc army in the Philip pines was 05 officers and 1,400 mon, a total of 1,525, or at the rate of 74 deaths a month. Alore details arc contained in thc report of Col. Woodhull, chief surgeon of the Philippine army. His report, how ever, does not ex temi beyond the cud of tho last calendar year. It shows that from the time American troops landed in Manila up to 1 >c ccmbor I, 1800, the total number of deaths wcro f>8 officers and 1,203 men. Of this number 42 officers and f>7() men died of violence and 10 oflicors and 003 men died of <lisease. Most of the deaths by violence oc curred in battle. There wore, bow ever, 1 UT deaths from violence out side of actual hostilities. It is a sin gular fact that more than one-half af thc latter class of deaths were caused by drowning, The total number of wounded without fatal result during tho period covered by the report was 1,707.

Tho honeymoon of the Turkish minister to Washington, acco rding to all accounts, is a lugubrious failure. Ifecently Ali Forrou Hey went hom< . and marrying a new wife, re turned with ber lo Washington, ex plaining that be was under promise to tho Sultan to keep ber as secluded as il she were peeping over ber mask at St. Sophia. This challenge to American curiosity was unfortunate, for the ambassador bas not been able to give his wife au airing; since bis arrival. Whichever way ho turns there is i terrible man in sight, whose glance upon thc lady's fact would bring degradation upon her busband. An appeal for silence was made to tho society newspapers also to no purpose, for they have set np sentry posts around the ambassador's residence. In this dilemma Ali Ferrou Hey bas taken tho real est?te? men into 'onfidonce. Ile wants to rent an extensive inolosttrc, for which bc is willing to pay any price, but when bc roach CH tho condition that n fifty foot wall must be built around it with barbed wire sining around on tho outside, be strikes n snag. Al most any man is willing lo rent his ground to the ambassador, but bc docs not want it converted info a circus in appearance Tho ladies are sick from enforced oonfinomont, tho ambassador is mad, tho Sultan is passive, while tho curi osity liends keep watch upon every window of tho residence.
