THE SOUTHERN SESSION.
THE INTERSTATE SUMMER
SCHOOL TO MEET HERE.
PROMINENT EDUCATORS FOR IN
STRUCTORS.
A Coming Convention which Will
be Of Interest not Onlv to Aslie-
willie, Hut to the south.

The southern session of the lntcrstat,
summer school vii! I've held in Ashcvill'
from July % to August s. There will b
seven of these schools held in the Unitet
States, in Edinboro, Pa; Columbus, o.
Pottsville, Pa; Jefferson, o.; Grand Rap
ids, Mich; Detroit, Mich, and Ashcvllc
The object of the school is to give teach
crs chance, with little expense, to know
how other teachers are working, ant
thereby gain much valuable knowledge
themselves. Prof. Claxton, superintcnd
ent OF the Ashcville graded schools, has
charge OF the organization OF the schoo
to be held here, and is working hard il
its interest
There is regularly employed faculty
of five, that attends each school, ant
gives lectures on theirrcspective branches
They will each speak twice a day. The
names of these instructors, with Their
branches of study are as follows: DR.
Thos. NJ. Ballet, Springfield. Mass, Psy'
chology and Science of Teaching; Miss
Mary A. Spear, West Chester, Pa, Pri'
mary Methods; W. ". Spcer, supcrin'
tcndent of schools Oakland, Chicago, Ill.
Numbers and Arithmetic; |. +. Hall, su
pcrintcndcnt of schools, Lcominstcr
Mass, Language, Reading and Writing
Alex l.. Frye, Hyde Park, Mass, Gcog
raphy.
These instructors haveprcparcd lectures
on these subjects, with great care, and
all have excellent regulations as instruc
tors. They will visit each school.
Besides these, there is faculty of sin
special teachers. one OF whom will he al
each place during thecntirc session. They
will present subjects especially adap
ted to each locality. Superintendent
of schools, L. {. Branson, Athens, Ca, is
the one appointed to be here, and vii
deliver ten lectures on discipline and
Methods"
The organization of the work is admir-
able. Each instructor has prepared hi
course of lectures and submitted copies
to each of his fellow instructors, thu
avoiding the danger Of the same grouiit
being gone over by two. This plan is o
great advantage as it helps the instruct
ors to shape their lectures so as to no
only avoid repetition, but also to supple
ment each other. The primary mctho,
teachers, knowing what those of til,
higher grades are to do, will lay tounda
ton; and the advanced teachers, possess
ing definite knowledge of the primar!
plan, will build upon it. Another goo'
feature is the printed notes of the lectures
which have been prepared with grca
care, and the teachers in attendance vii

RIYAS'S TREACHERY.
The Story of His Rebellion, Defeat and
Death.

NEW YORK, August "a Herald
special from La Libertad tells the story
of the treachery of General Rivas. When
General Ezeta heard the rumor of
Rivas's proposed move ON the capital he
sent his brother, General Antonio Ezeta,
with two thousand veterans, to follow
Rivas's Indian army. They sue
ceeded, after hard fight, in
driving him from the capital
after he had looted many stores. Rivas
retreated to Santa Tecla, and when
Ezeta's forces came up the most desper-
ate battle of the present war ensued.
For forty-eight hours the fight ragged.
The Indians fought more like demons
than men. When they lost their rifles,
their favorite weapon, the knife, was
used with most deadly effect. The Indians
were moved down by deadly rain of
lead from Ezeta's army, which never
wavered from it's duty.
At last Rivas, shot through the back,
fell dead in his tracks, and the Indians
became demoralized and were scattered
by Ezeta's veterans, like chaff before the
wind. With the confusion of this
sanguinary conflict the body of
Rivas was publicly exposed in
the plaza of the battle-torn town,
and indignities heaped upon it as
warning to other traitors. Ii Ezeta had
been defeated there would have been no
hope for continuation of the victories
over Guatemala. But with his success
it is believed Guatemala will be worsted.

DEMOCRATIC PROTESTS.
JUDGE THURMAN DENOUNCES THE
FEDERAL ELECTION BILL.
A Large Meeting Held at Columbus to
demonstrate Against It-Speeches and
Letters From Prominent Democrats.

COLUMBUS, o., August "A meeting
under the auspices of the Thurman Club
to protest against the passage of the
federal election bill was held at the east
front of the capitol this evening. About
fifteen hundred people were present.
1t was expected that Judge Thurman
would preside and make brief speech,
but when the committee called to escort
him to the meeting he presented them a
letter to be read, which contained his
regrets and the information that sick
ness alone prevented him from fulfilling
his promise. He wrote briefly, denun-
ciatory of the bill and itsprovisions, and
expressed the opinion that the measure
would not pass the senate.
A letter of regret was read from ex-
President Cleveland, in which he ex-
pressed a desire to be enrolled among
those who protest against the passage
of the bill, and expressing a wish that
the indications were not so numerous
that the climax of congressional reck-
lessness has been reached in which the
protests of the people have little weight.
Senator-elect Brice sent letter say
ing that the proposed law was repug-
nant to Democratic ideas and full of
danger to the republic.
Several speeches were made against
the bill. Gov. Campbell was not reached
in the list of speakers until late hour,
and did not talk at length. He devoted
his time to an explanation of the pro-
visions of the bill, and the probable re-
suit of it's enforcement.
Resolutions of protest were presented
by Allen Thurman and adopted. The
resolutions were in sympathy with the
general tenor of the addresses.

ground of his personal qualities.
The czar, hitherto opposed to having
his brother-in-law, (Wildemar) ruler of
Bulgaria, now assents. The Greek roy
alists strongly object to Waldemar, King
George fearing the election of his
brother to the Bulgarian throne would
raise feeling of jealousy among the
Greeks and imperil his sons succession
to the throne of Greece. Diplomats
attribute the czar's choice of Waldemar
to his desire to keep the Balkan matter
fermenting.
Orders have been sent to the frontier
customs post and railways to watch for
the threatened migration of Jews from
Poland, as the new Russian regulations
will tend to drive from the coun-
try vast bodies of artisans and
poor, farming Jews. The leading
Jewish firms in Berlin, Hamburg and
other cities have communicated with
representative Jews in London for the
purpose of preparing relief for the dis
tressed Hebrews.
Russian papers announce that trans
portation to Siberia will shortly be abOl
ished as a judicial punishment, but omit
to mention that it will be maintained,
as now, without judicial sentence.
The latest notable instance is
the case of the celebrated novelist,
Ushiensky. He was arrested at night
and confined in a secluded prison, any
knowledge of his whereabouts being re-
fused his friends for a long time.
Finally they were told he had been sent
to Saratov, pending the pleasure of the
police. His offense was writing letter
to the czar in support of memorial of
Modame Tsebrikova.

HIMSELF TO BLAME.
The Second Striking Iron
MOlder Shot.
An Assault on "Scab" Ends
Fatally.
The NOn-UniOn Man Struck in the
Face While Sleeping.
This Led to the Shooting - Shots Ex-
changed Between Other Strikers
and Non Unionists.
Associated Press Dispatches.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2.-The sec
ond fatal shooting in the course OF the
iron-molders' strike occurred today.
Walter Rideout, aged "a, is one OF the
non-union apprentices at the City Iron
Works. He lives in Berkeley, across the
bay, and has been recently married.
This afternoon when the works were
closed he left the foundry, and seeing
number of strikers grouped near, he
crossed the street to policeman and
asked protection, saying he was afraid
of being assaulted. The policeman told
him to get on street-car and he would
keep the strikers away. Just after he
had got on, the policeman beckoned him
to get off, and when he did so, told him
a number of strikers had gone round to
intercept the car at the next block.
Rideout then went couple of blocks
and boarded Powell-street cable car,
Thinking himself safe from pursuit and
being very sleepy he began to doze.
Soon two strikers boarded the car-one
named H. L. Siebert, the others name
unknown. Siebert sat down opposite
Rideout, who did not see him. Suddenly
Siebert rose and struck the sleeping man
terrific blow in the face, saying: "I'll
fix you, you dog, you"
Rideout had his hands in his coat
pockets, one resting on a revolver which
he carried by permit from the police.
He started up, drawing it. Siebert
grasped his arm and tried to
wrest the revolver from him.
The other striker on the car
came to his aid, and sharp struggle
ensued, during which the revolver was
discharged, and Siebert sank back with
blood pouring from his left breast. The
police now appeared and arrested Ride
out and took Siebert to the receiving
hospital The other striker escaped.
At the hospital Siebert's wound was
pronounced fatal. He first gave his name
as Louis Brown, but afterwards made a
dying statement giving his true name.
The president and other officers of the
Molders' Union are with him. He is
still living, but his death is momenta-
rily expected.
LATER.-H. L. Sie6ert. the wounded
molder, died at II o'clock tonight. The
molders are much excited, and extra
policemen have been stationed at all the
struck founderies to prevent disorder.
None is really expected, however.
About the time that Rideout was shot
in the Powell-street car, another shoot
ing affair occurred near the Risdon Iron
Works. Two non-union molders who are
employed there were set upon by
crowd of strikers, as they were return
ing from dinner. One of the men had
revolver, which he drew and fired at the
strikers several times. The strikers
took refuge behind a barricade and re-
turned the fire. So far as is known no
one was injured.

PRISON HORRORS.
What a Correspondent Saw in a Turkish
Prison in Macedonia.


Prison in Macedonia.
LONDON, August "A special cores
pondent of the Daily News has succeeded
in obtaining admission to the Turkish
prison at Uskub, Macedonia. The build
ing contains 149 cells, occupied by 1,S11
prisoners, or over twelve to the cell.
The unfortunate victims are sent there
to be confined from one to ten years
each, but so great are their suAerings
from the barbarity of the keepers, and
the total disregard of sanitary
laws, that one rarely outlives
five years. In one cell, two and one
half yards square, the correspondent
discovered nearly score of poor wretches
painting for air and starving for food,
having in the way of the latter nothing
but bread and water. The greater num-
Der. were stark naked and chained by
their ankles and wrists. There were
also underground cells reserved for the
worst prisoners. In order to force con-
fessions when wanted, ants are kept in
boxes, and fifty OF them placed at one
time on the naked body of the prisoner
whom it is desired to torture. 1t is also
customary to chain men in the scorch-
ing sun in such way that they cannot
move.
