The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1891-04-29

The suggestion of THE TIMES that
Roanoke should secure the Mechanical
and Agricultural College was received
with general favor by tho business men
OF Roanoke. There are several citizens
of Roanoke who are much interested in
this enterprise, and if the college is re-
moved Roanoke will let the other places
that want the institution know that it
is in the race.
For some time there has been a quiet
movement here with the ultimate pur-
pose to establish in Roanoke q first
class school of technology.
"a TIMES reporter yesterday talked
with one Of the gentlemen most inter-
estea In this movement, who, as soon as
the removal of the college was talked
OF, began to inquire about the institu-
ton and to put in some good ticks for
Roanoke
This gentleman has received letter
from Supt. John T.. Massey, in which
Mr.. Massey says that it is desirable to
have the institution in q more accessible
location and where 1t will receive the
life and impetus that would be impaired
oby contact with an Industrial city. Mr..
Massey thinks Roanoke would be-
greatly benefited by the institution.
"A member OF the board OF visitors has
said that the board has plenty of money
ana intend to make an institution that
the State will be prodd Of
President Kilnball has also written a
letter to this gentleman stating that he
believes the citizens of Roanoke and all
who are interested in the growth of the
city would lend their support to such an
| institution. He believes that Roanoke.
Oct m ;ct,
the adjacent mines, would afford super
lot advantages for school of tech
nology, and he thinks that such an in
stitutlon would be of great advantage to.
| Roanoke.
The institution has faculty of about
ten professors, and has enrolled as high
as ESQ students. The revenue of the
college is S33, 600 from the State, with
an increase OF two thirds of 81, 900 each
year till tho amount reaches $40, 600.
The agricultural experimental station
has nm income from tho Government of
$4,000 AMI employs several men at
| good salaries.
1t has been suggested that if the in
stitution is secured, that temporary
quarters can be used until suitable
| buildings can be erected 1t is also sug-
gested that fund Of several thousand
dollars should be raised for increasinr
| the faculty.
The gentlemen who haye interested
themselves in tho movement to estab-
lish technical school will endeavor to
secure the removal of the institution to
This place, with 4 view Of helping it to
become first-class school OF tech
nology.
The removal of tho institution will be
in the hands of tho legislature, but the
board Of visitors will recommend re-
moval If sufficient Inducements are Of
fcred by any locality.

The Celebration at chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-The colored peo-
pie celebrated Emancipation day with a
mass meeting and picnic at Osgood's 8
grove. Congressman Miller, of Beau
ford county, South Carolina, was the
orator of the day. He eulogized Abra-
ham Lincoln and speaking of the South,
said:
The New South is a frail child and is
i'll formed. Its blood is tainted. 1t is
strong, but lacks endurance. 1t is as
much your duty today to assist i'll train
ing and developing this partly-spoiled
youth as it was late in the fifties to edu-
nation up to the point of emancipation
of slaves and the preservation of the
Union. Omit and the work will have
to be done over again in the same way
as it was finished in Appomattox

Serious Blow to Turkish
Rule in Arabia.

LONDON, Sept. 22.-The news of the
capture of Sana by the rebels in Yemen,
says Constantinople dispatch, is al
most stunning blow to the Sultan, who
for weeks past has been plunged in anx-
iety over the situation in Arabia. Wes-
tern Europeans are hardly capable of
appreciating the Sultan's feelings on
this subject, but to him the fate of Ara
bia is of more Importance even than that
of fConstantinople. Should he lose con
troll of the holy cities of the Mohamme-
dan faith, he would be divested of all
prestige and become an object of con-
tempt and adherence to his subjects
His anxiety regarding this matter is so
strong that it has nearly driven him in
sane. Sana is the key to Yemen, and
the loss of this is a most overwhelming
blow to Turkish supremacy in that rich
and fertile province, and may lead to
the loss of all Arabia. That country
now contains several emirs who ignore
the authority of the porte, and if these
should unite against Turkey, the
sultan would have difficult war on his
hands. The Turkish troops in Yemen
went there without provisions or money,
with orders to live on the country. They
won some success at first, but probably
disheartened by their own condition,
they appear to have lost ground. Should
Arabia be separated from the porte, the
religious passions such an event would
excite, in the opinion of Europeans at
Constantinople, would imperil the life as
well as the throne of the sultan.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Dr. Charles
Augustus Briggs returned today on the
steamship Servia from his summer va
cation in England. DR.. Briggs went
abroad last May with his daughter, i'm
mediately after his trial for heresy was
ordered in the presbytery. He said
today:
81 have been greatly benefited by rest
and the change of air. 1 went to Oxford
expecting to do some work on a Hebrew
lexicon in which 1 am interested, but
for two months could do nothing but
rest. am not informed of the events
in America in connection with my case,
nor do / know what my friends have
done in preparation for the trial, shall
take charge of the case myself, and
shall conduct my defense in my own be-
half. am glad of the opportunity Of
fered to me by this trial to explain my
views to the presbytery. L never had
this opportunity, and when the COM
mittee have given their construction of
what have written shall give mine.
Of course, this will give my views wider
publicity than they have had heretofore.
They are at present known to the schol-
ars, but the general public has not had
my side yet"
The trial of DIR. Briggs will begin. Mon
day October 5.

land. The favorite tory remedy for ov-
ercrowding is emigration. While the
liberals have never come out boldly in
favor of the division of the soil among
the people and the multiplication of
small owners, they have claimed that
emigration was not the proper remedy
and that there was room enough in Eng
land for Englishmen. Now Sir John
dares to say what the liberals have him
ted at, that the private parks and re-
serves must be cut up as homes for the
people, and the people must be given a
chance to become owners. If Sir John
remains in the service OF the tory cabi-
net, it is only because they are afraid to
drop him out.

want Mrs. Maybrick Pardoned.

BAR HARBoR, Maine, Sept. 23.-The
case of Mrs. Maybrick accused of poison
ing her husband in England and SEN
fenced to penal servitude for life, was
some time ago brought to the attention
of Mrs. Blaine. She, together with
Secretary Blaine, became deeply inter
ested in it. About two weeks ago a Pc
tition for Mrs. Maybrick's pardon, signed
by Mrs. Harrison and the wives of the
members of the cabinet was sent to
Minister Lincoln for presentation to the
queen.

LONDON, Sept. Representative of
the associated press had an interview
with Rothschilds, Speyers, Lozard Bros.
and other bankers, and they all agreed
in their statements that further large
shipments of gold was going to America.
Rothschild despatched an additional
hundred thousand pounds today. In an
interview with Robert Giffen, head of
the commercial department and comp
troller of the coin returns of the British
board of trade, he was asked what truth
there was in calculation that England
and the continent would be forced to
part with gold amounting to sixty mil
lion pounds to pay for imports of Amer
ican grain. Giffen ridiculed the esti-
mate. He said before ten million
pounds in bullion was sent to America,
both the bank of England and the bank
of France would raise their rates of dis
count and check the drain. According
to Griffen, not bullion but securities,
and export; will go to America to pay
for grain. An important factor in the
financial situation was the silver ques-
ton. American houses, he declared,
were making preparations to face the
silver crisis which is now inevitable, by
making gold purchases in Europe.
When asked if such crisis was inevita-
BILE, Giffen replied: ''In my opinion it
is impossible to avert it. The United
States has become overloaded with paper
currency. The issue of silver certificates
to the amount of 100000 pounds ster-
ling, annually, was a gross legislative
mistake and is bound to bring a crash
speedily. Next February will probably
realize the worst of the position.

A Quiet Smoke

During a session of conference one
of the ministers went into drug store
about dusk on a chilly evening and
asked the proprietor for a good mild
cigar. After paying for it he said,
Is there any place around your store
where | can have quiet smoke? Our
bishop has just been preaching pretty
sharply against the use of tobacco, so |
don want to smoke around the house
where | am staying, nor out in the
street, on account of the bad example
might set. But mild cigar does rest
one SOL
The druggist quite agreed with him
and said consolngly,-
Step behind my prescription counter
sir, you will be unseen there. "
Two minutes later another good
minister came into the store, bought a
mild cigar, and asked if he IN ght be
permitted to smoke in the store.
"Our bishop has just been preaching
against smoking, he explained, almost
in the exact words Of his predecessor.
He. also, was sent behind the pre-
scription counter. The screen hid the
two dominies from sight, but it did not
shut out the peals of laughter which
arose when minister number two eli
countered minister number one.
