only school of Journalism and it's grad

sponsible positions on all the metropoli-

where preparatory geneal training for the
duties of the profession can be obtained,
where young man can learn to be an
all-round Journalist. In the large city
Offices, the division of labor, and par
ticuiariy the assignment system as to
reporters, tends to place men in grooves
and keep them there. making them pro-

the report OF General Mansfield, COM
manding the Federal forces at Newport
News: The enemy then sent two
steamers to haul the Congress off or burn
her. As soon as | saw this | ordered
Colonel Brown. OF the twentieth Indiana

DAhlgren howitzer went into action from
a raking position on the beach. We here

three shots into her and set her on fire."

CHICAGO, June 27.-The threatened
strike to enforce the boycott of Pull
man cars was inaugurated at o'clock
last night, when the American rail-
way union ordered the Illinois Gem
trail men out. The switchmen were
the first to obey and quietly walked
out, tying up the suburban as we'll as
the express train service
The o'clock train for St Louis
was allowed to pull out, as it was
made up before the boycott went into
effect, but that train, the men as
serted, was the last that would be al
lowed to leave until the Pullman
strike is settled.
The union men were quiet and or
derby, but apparently determined to a
man to maintain the boycott. The
strike, it was asserted by an Ameri-
can Railway union officer, will extend

LYONS, June 27.-Santo, the assassin.
was again before the examining
magistrate. The prisoner declared
himself an anarchist detailed to a
policy of violence He said he acted
upon his own initiative; he had not
been engaged in any conspiracy to
murder the president Nevertheless,
it has been ascertained that when
Santo stopped at Vienna and Mont
pelier, he had several suspicious con-
ferences with persons suspected of
being in league with the anarchists.
In addition, at Vienna he slept at
the house of an anarchist The police
investigation has alreany led to the
arrest of three persons at Vienna be-
Heved to have been engaged in the
conspiracy
1t is now said to be established that
Santo lived for some time in the Rue
Traversiere, Paris, occupying a room
in the house of an Italian wine dealer
The assassin's name was registered a t
the labor exchange.
Santo stated while being examined
by the magistrate that he had no per-
sonal grievance against President Car
not. He killed him because he was a
tyrant- The magistrate asked: care
you an anarchist?"
SantO replied: yes, and am proud
of it

some future time two rooms could be fin

sleeping rooms any in the house.
There is but one chimney which is so
placed that it can be used from all the
rooms on first floor. The staircase is also
placed in a position to be easy of access
from all parts of the house. Two doors are
placed between the hall and kitchen, fea-
ture which cannot fail to commend itself
The windows in the hall and staircase
are filled entirely with ornamental and
stained glass, are also those in the at
tic. The other windows in the house have
the lower sash glazed in two lights of
binary glass, while the upper sash has a
white light in the center and small colored
lights on each side. The interior is fin

it is not mitered at the angles, as is usu-

The yardmaster was powerless to
prevent the interference and his
switchmen could do nothing. The
officers of the division have ordered
the train held here until further
orders, Notwithstanding the fact of it
being a mail train.
Excitement is now at high pitch,
as the officers are trying to find an
engineer to handle the car. So far
their efforts have avai1ed nothing.
