THE handsome appropriations which
come annually to our State which must
be applied to education and not to the
building, places the state under the
necessity of providing buildings for
this purpose. Delaware College is in
need of more facilities of this character,
and with the ample funds providing
instruction, there is nothing to prevent
the college rising to a much higher
distinction.

Relating TO the Itata,

WASHINGTON, May 25.-'Hhe fact that no
word was received at the navy department
to-day from the Charleston is taken as an
indication that she has gone on down the
Peruvian coast towards Callao. Respect
ing reiterated statements from Paris to the
effect that the insurgents have arranged to
surrender the 1tata to the United States
naval authorities when she reaches Chilli.
officials of the navy department are still
mute. 1t may be stated, however, that
there have been no negotiations be-
tween this government and Chilian insur-
gents upon the subject. Still it is plainly
evident that some kind of an understanding
has been or is expected to be reached which
will result in the easy transfer of the Itata
to either Admiral McCann or Admiral
Brown, should she reach Chill. This, of
course, would not take t.le shape of Il for
NAL agreement, but All intimation NAV
already have been conveyed to our naval
officers at Iquioue by the insurgents that
such COURSE will bs pursued, and doubt
less this has formed the basis of many of
the cablegrams that have passed between
Washington and Iquique during the last
two weeks.

sci, with steam power, which might touch
at the point of the first discovery-which
Capt. Fox has fixed at Attswood Key-on

Then let the officer remain as long as Col
umbus remained, and let him, from day to
day, follow his course, which is given in
great detail in the logbook of Columbus. SO
as to really repeat the voyage from day to
day, as Columbus made it. Where Colum-
bus caught lizard our expedition could
catch lizards where they caught turtle,
they should try for turtle; on the day
when he met the Cubans smoking they
might open box of Havanas, and in i'm
