From a statement compiled by
Second Auditor Rufiin it is learned
that the amount expended for main
tanning the colored free schools in
Virginia for the past twenty years
aggregated s5,s52, 2c2. The cost of
colored education in the public schools
compared with white is in proportion
Of 70 to 100. This is due to the fact
that for the twenty years of the pub
lie school system tho colorcd schools
average thirty pupils to the schools
while the white average only twenty
four to the school. Again, i'll many
districts teachers are paid according
to the grade of their certificates.
Colored teachers, rs rule. have
more low grade certificates. The cost
of TIE colored schools this year will
be s425.456, against s1,175,032 for the
white schools. Last year the schools
numbered 7.511, of which 1858 were
white and 2.1J3 colored.

will probably recommend to the leg
islature this winter a measure which
will restore to the farmer in n direct
way the special tax levied upon him
in the purchase of fertilizers. This
will amount to n great deal to the

this amount ever be added to the
appropriation allotted to the agricul-

tho eloquence of orators, ground was broken
for the monument which is to be raised a,
the tomb in Riverside park where rests all
that is mortal of the greatest of the heroes
of the war of the rebellion, the immortal

members of the Grand Army of the Repuo-

Western Delegates Not i'm 1t.

TOPEKA, HAM, April CIV. F. Rightmire,
national secretary of the citizens alliance,
said:
'The Central Traffic association has granted
to the delegates To the Cincinnati conference
the rate of one fare for the round trip over
the roads within their territory. This asso-
cation operates between Pittsburg and the
Mississippi rlver. and south of Indianapolis.
'"The Western Passenger association, the
Trans Missouri and the Trans Continental
have refused to grant any reduction in rates.
In view of this hostile action on the part of
these associations and the attempted boycott
of the trunk lines against the Chicago &
Alton because its president, in a newspaper
article, advocated the government control of
railroads. and in an address to the Illinois
legislature advocated passenger rate of
cents a mile, the public need not be sur
prised if the Alton is selected as the official
route. We expect to patronize our friends"
It is generally understood among the alli-
ance leaders that the Kansas roads we're
favorable to reduction and the blame for
the refusal of the other lines Is laid to the
door of Jay Gould and the Vanderbilts, who
will grant no favors to the farmers alliance,
and ask none from it.
The result is likely to be that the attend
ance of southern delegates will be larger than
of northern.

Wars, Earthquakes and Famines.


LONDON, May 5.-The Prophecy Investi-
CATION society held conference at the Man
sion house. The society seems to be re-
markable one, and what is more remarkable,
it has for its president no less church per-
sonage than the Dean of Ripon, while Lord
Kinnaird Is its treasurer. In a circu is
sued by Rev. DR.. Baxter, its founder, under
the title of "Coming Political Events" there
are elaborate calculations from the book of
Daniel and the Revelations. tending to show
that the greatest war ever known IN Europe
is due sometime between May, 1891, and
May, 1892.
Before 1888 awful political commissions arc
promised, one result of which will be the
change of twenty-three kingdoms into ten.
and tho loss by Great Britain of Ireland and
1ndia.
In 1894, earthquakes, famines and pesti-
lences are to devastate nearly every portion
of the earth, while on March 5, 1886, no fewer
than IA, 600 living Christians are to be-
waited to heaven without dying. The circu-
lar concludes with the statement that the
millennium will commence on April 10, 1901.
The most remarkable thing concerning the
society that endorses these doctrines is the
fact that its membership includes higl. dig
nitaries in the church, members of the houses
of lords and commons, authors and other
literary men, together with many philosoph-
ical thipkers

A New Town and - Big One.

TOPEKA, KAN, April 30.-Several years
ago the Santa Fe purchased LOO acres OF
land at Quivera, shout ten miles west OF
Kansas City, and a station was established,
known as Morris.
The charter of the Quivera Dam and Elec-
trio Power company has been filed with the
secretary of state. The objects of the CON-
pany as stated In the charter are:
"To construct dam and water power in
and on the Kansas river at or near Morris sta
ton on the Atchikon, Topeka d Santa Fe rail-
road in Wyandotte county, and in connection
Herewith to construct, equip and maintain
an electrical plant, with all necessary build
ings, machinery, wires and appliances for
the distribution of power, light, heat, etc,
and all necessary means for the production,
sale and use of water or electric power in
any manner whatever"
The capital stock of this corporation is to
be S5OO, 600, and the directors named in the
charter are: A. S. johnson, j. r. Mulvane,
Peck and E. Wilder, E. r. Purcell of Man
haitian, A. w. Armour and Howard Holden
of Kansas City. These directors are all
sither directors or stockholders in the Santa
Fe company.
Treasurer E. Wilder, of the Santa Fe, says:
"While these gentlemen are ali connected
with the Santa Fe, it should be distinctly
understood that this is not a Santa Fs pro-
ject, but is simply move to carry out the
plans of the Qaivera Land and Development
company, which was organized in 1888.
''We propose to build q dam and draw
manufacturers there. What they will be we
cannot say now, but we intend to build a
town and it will be big one."

Time for Revelation Arrived.

PH1LADELPH1A, April 30.-General Master
Workman Powderly, of the Knights of La
Dor, is up in arms against the state board OF
arbitration of the state of New York as re-
suit of its report condemning boycotting IN
the. Rochester lockout, and the prosecutions
of prominent labor leaders which have been
instituted, growing out of the affair.
He has issued an address to organized labor
throughout the state, urging that mass
meeting should be held and resolutions
passed demanding that the legislature should
at once abolish the useless, incompetent and
expensive time-servlng, wealth adoring ma
chine known "A the board OF arbitration and
mediation. Where is now law, he says, and
there never can be a law which will oblige a
man to purchase that which he does not
want. no law can be found that will prevent
a man from letting his neighbors alone, and
when a law is framed, passed by legisla-
ture, and signed by governor, which pun
ishes q man for not buying from his enemy,
then the time for revolution in such state
has arrived.

STATE EXHIBITS

To be Placed In the Main Buildings.
CHICAGO, April 29.-The national board of
control of the Worlds Columbian exposition
assembled, with Hon. Thomas w. Palmer
presiding. It will devote good deal of its
time and attention to suggestions for devel-
oping and maintaining the various state ex-
hlbits.
There is growing sentiment in favor of
making the state buildings more in the ma
7ture of state headquarters or club houses,
rather than places of exhibition for the pro-
ducts of various sections.
Il 10 thought that the exhibits proper could
better be appropriately grouped in the main
departmental buildings than arranged in the
smaller state departments. Another ques-
taon with which the board of control will be
called upon to grapple is the disposition of
Mss Phoebe Cousins as secretary of the
board of lady managers. This matter has
given rise to a great deal of bitter feeling,
and sill require judicious handling.
From the unofficial opinions expressed.
however, it is regarded as probable that the
ac<ion of Mrs. Palmer and her associates in
DISPENSING with the services of tho st. Louis
official will be confirmed.

EIGHTH DAY

OF tho Impeachment Trial of Judge
BOtkin.
. TOPEKA, KAN.-It has become apparent
that the $4,000 appropriated to pay wit
nesses will not cover the case if all witnesses
are brought here that are desired by the par
ties.
The senate. after a discussion by attorneys
and senators, decided that the $4,000 should
be equally divided in payment of witnesses
for the prosecution and for the defense; then,
should there be a surplus on one side it
might be used to pay witnesses for the other
side.
After the entry by the respondent of a
general plea of not guilty, the work of tax
ing testimony began; two druggists in Judge
Botkin's district testifying to having repeat
eddy sold Botkin liquor, which he drank in
their back rooms.

Tho Santa Fe and tho Frisco,

ST. Louis, May 5.-The vital point in the
war just opened in the United States circuit
court between the opposing stockholders of
the Frisco road Is one that has never hereto
court of law.
It is the establishment of the fact whether
it is impossible for one railroad company to
buy up, control and operate a competing line
in violation of the laws of the state in which
the latter company has its existence.
The application for receiver was merely
formality necesstated by the bringing of
the main question to the courts, and the APP
pointment of one is only remote possibility.
The question at issue is whether the pres
ent management of the Frisco by the Atchi-
son is violation of the laws of Missouri.
1t is the most interesting railroad conflict
that has arisen for years. ard will be watched
with the deepest interest throughout the en-
tire country.

NV YoRx. May Ar g. Dun 4 Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
Business il lar "a in volume and sustained
by general confidence a. to the future.
Wheat and -four exports from Atlantic
ports continue far behind those of last year,
and, while reports of foreign crop prospects
arc not favorable, there is really NO reason
to anticipate any shortage or unusual de-
mand from abroad prior to the close of the
next yea1 has to meet an exceptionally favor
able crop outlook. The reports of trade at
other eastern and middle cities are on the
whole more favorable than a week ago.
Trade at western and southern points seem
TO be especially encouraging. Better Weather
helps almost all western points, and at Mil
waukee trade was never better: at Omaha
and st. Paul. very fair; at Minneapolis -four
is dull. but the lumber trade is active. and at
Omaha fair weather helps business: trade is
quiet at Kansas City. but improving at Lou
isvllle. Nashville and Atlanta, with decided
strength at st. LOUIS.
The great industries are in better shape.
The demand for products of iron and steel
is more encourage ug; the wooden manufac-
turers still hest ate, apparently because the
producers are inclined to ask higher prices
for the new clip of wool than the manufac-
turers can pay, but there is belief that the
consuming demand for goods must be as
large ac it ever has been in any previous
year, and the clothiers, though very cautious
heretofore, begin to act upon that belief.
The shoe trade Is still retarded by the un-
certainty of prices for the future, but it is,
nevertheless, fairly active.
Merchandise exports from New York con-
tinue much larger than a year ago, but inn
ports are also remarkably large, and there is
a prospect of heavy exports of gold fer some
months.
The business failures occurring throughour
the country during the last seven days num-
Der 255, as compared with total of 2l7 last
week, and I'll the corresponding week last
year.

PARIS. May 1.-The program for May day
has been placarded throughout the city two
days. The government has prepared strong
measures to preserve order.
A most serious feeling of alarm prevails in
official circles here at the possibility of an
anarchist outbreak on the LIST of May. Sew
eral violent anarchist manifestoes intended
to incite the soldiers at the garrison at Paris
and Its nelghborhood to revolt have been
circulated by agents of the anarchists.
The police and military are taking the
most extreme precautions to effectually meet
and promptly suppress any disorder on thu
part of the anarchists or others.
