School Land Rents.

At a meeting of the board OF Univers-
ity and School lands a resolution waslpas-
sed ordlng the land commissioner to en-
force the collection of all interest and
rental money due the state school fund
for use Of state funds. The books show
that several thousand dollars are out
standing through the business method
of the late state administration. In
nearly every county where state lands
have been sold many of the purchasers
seem to feel that they can pay their in
terest at such times as suit their conven-
fence and in a great many instances the
penalty imposed by law for the failure to
pay promptly has not been paid and the
state is largely loser thereby. The law
contemplates that all money due the
state for interest and rental shall invari-
ably be paid in advance, but this law
has been more observed in the breach
than it will be in the future under the
brisk business methods of the new COM
missioner.
Monday collectors will start out to
several counties for the purpose of
Strengthening out the tangled web caused
by fail ure to collect accounts as they be-
come due and they will be empowered
to enforce the collection of rentals, and
it is believed they will be able to save a
large part Of the money due the state
for some years back. They will at least
be able to make a report which will en-
able the commissioner to clear his books
of these fag ends of maladministration
and close up this unpleasant heritage of
populist control.
Commissioner Winters and Deputy
Gushing are busy getting the land office
in proper shape, and in a few weeks will
have everything indexed up so it won't
take half a.day to find a description OF
land as it does now.
Hereafter anyone delinquent in his in.
terest or rental payments will have his
contract or lease promptly Cancelled az

that Mr.. Winters will prove to be one Of
the most popular appointments made by
the present administration.

Will Have LIGHT.

A carload of electric light poles was
received by Ed Hughes Tuesday,and they
are being distributed about the streets.
Ed says they will be put up and wires
strung as soon as possible, and arrange
ments be completed for the wiring on of
500 inoandescent lights. The raising of
poles and stringing of wires will lend an
appearance Of renewed activity to things,
and indicate that the days of kerosene
must give way to the strides of cleo
tricity.
The power house has been constructed
for some time, and the engine and dynamo
are in shape for action. It will be about
September 20 before all the arrange
ments can be completed, aud by that
time Ed hopes to have the lighting plant
in active operation.
There bids fair to be a good patronage
of the lncandescent lights. Nearly all
of the business houses will take them,
as we'll as. numerous residences. There
is a proposition before the ~penitentiary
trustees, also, to light that institution,
which is now being considered.

A Useful Index,

A very useful and convenient index,
for ready reference of all corporations
organized since the territory was organ
lied, down to the present time, is being
made by the secretary of st ate, which
gives, at a glance, the time the certificate
of corporate existence was issued, prin.
cipal place Of business, capital stock,
the volume and page, where recorded.
This index will be a great help, as
heretofore, to find a corporation, thirteen
volumes chad to be looked over to find
the desired information. A smaller in
dex has been made of all foreign corpor
atoms giving date of filing, principal
place Of BUSINESS, the name of the resi-
dent agent, etc. Under the revised codes
the secretary of state is designated as
agent for all foreign corporations doing
business in this state, instead of each
corporation having a seperate agent.
This law will be appreciated by lawyers,
having cases against foreign corporations
as under the existing law 1t is sometimes
very difficult to get service, as frequent
by the resident agent moves from the
state leaving no n to accept the SER
vice OF process, until the company is
notified by the secretary of state
that the agent has removed from the
state land requesting the appointment
of another. ...

The Guardian's Article.

Manchester, July 10.-The Guardian in its commercial article says:
 There has been little satisfactory bus mess transacted during the week. Oc- casionally orders have been booked at poor prices. Few manufacturers are willing to entertain such offers as have been made. China buyers are more quiet and the transactions for other far east ern markets have been meagre. Unfa- vorable reports regarding rains in Bonn bay account for the poor business there. Offers for Calcutta goods have been fair ly numerous, but are most impractica- ble. Occasionally lines of dhooties, shirtings, jaconets and light bleaching fabrics have been accepted with much reluctance. Supplies of cheap yarns have been sometimes assisted by the ex- ecution of orders from South and Cen tral American buyers, who have oper- ated in suitable goods to supply GUS toner's wants. The present business in yarns is limited to a few important bus mess transa ctions for the American and home trade

New York, July 1O.--A national Cuban presidential election is being held all over the United States today and also in Mexico, Jamaica and South America.
 Last night the political clubs compos- ing the international party of Cuban rev olutionists met in the various cities or these countries. and every one elected delegate to the electoral college, which will decide who is to be president of the provisional government of Cuba to ill the vacancy caused by the death of the late president Jose Marti.
 The election being special for the office of president only, the delegates of the electoral college will not meet together. but will send their attested ballots to the officers of the treasury of the party in every one of the countries named. Then the international delegates will count the ballots and declare the election of the successful candidate
 The treasurer of the party in the United States is MT. Benjamin J. Guerra, whose headquarters are in this city Today MT. Guerra is absorbed in the interesting occupation of receiving cleo ton returns.
 There are it is said, over 100 clubs con- trolling as many election districts in the United States. At 1 o'clock returns had been received from New York city, Chi cago, New Orleans. Jacksonville, Vera Cruz, Mexico and Philadelphia.
 The delegates from all these cities will cast thelr ballots for Thomas Palma.
 sThe indications are," said MT. Guerra today, that MT. Palma will be elected unanimously. for all the other candi- dates have withdrawn or are withdraw ing.
 ''When will the new president be inau- gurated?"
 "As soon as practicable The eonyea- tion of the provisional government will meet in Cuba at a very early date, per haps tomorrow, but I cannot give the exact time, for cable communication is so much interrupted that delay is often caused on most important matters. The new president is lawyer by profession and has good record as wise states man, a man of broad views and a brave soldier. He has been identified with the cause of Cuban independence for many years.
 sThere is now ndAdoubt that good re- publican government will soon be firm ly established in Cuba, and it will be a great country after that

 ssts on Requlition.

Florence. July 10.-(Special)-W L. Lawler, white man, 30 years old, was arrested at the Louisville and Nashville depot at noon by Policeman Wash Hind man. Lawler is charged with assault ing two children at Aetna, Tenn, sev- eral days ago.

 A reward of $25 was offered for his capture, which Officer Hindman will sa. cure.
 Al Clendennon and B. B. Morrison, the fathers of the two children, arrived to- day at noon and identified Lawler. who refuses to return to Tennessee without a requisition.

FROM MAINE TO MEXICO
THE ARMY IS POURING INTO BOSTON.
Every Train Brings Its Quota of Delegates to the Christian Endeavor Convention.
 Sk;IIfully Received.

Boston. July 10.--With the earliest trains and boats, almost with the rising of the sun, the great army of Christian Endeavorers began to pour into the city today in a way which utterly threw into the shade any previous influx of visitors to any similar convention.
 Single parties of two or three on the regular cars, in parties of fifty or 100 in special cars attached to the regular trains, and in great delegations number ing several hundred on special trains came pouring steadily into the stations, and under the Skillful direction of the reception committee melted away on the cars and through the streets on the way to their quarters.
 They came from every pa Tt of the coun- try. from Maine to California. Texas sent in her delegation, and so did the Canadian provinces, and no hamlet seemed too small or insignificant to send one to the great meeting The forces of the reception committee were more than twice as large as yesterday, and they developed the greatest activity in directing the delegates to their quarters and making them welcome.
 There were also delegations from the Christian union, which give their aid and work
 The influence of the great influx on tha railroads was easily perceptible Almost all the local trains ran an extra car or two. and nearly all of the trains coming from any distance added two or three outside of the specials of which they might have put on for any solid delega- tion. There was also a great deal of de- lay in the running time of most of the roads, especially in the trains coming from the west. which were usually sev- eral hours late. The St. Louis and Chi cago express, due to arrive at the union station at 10:20 was run in three sec tions. the first of which was two hours. the second three hours and forty-fve minutes and the third four hours and forty-five minutes late.
 The trains from the north came in a little better, being only about an hour late as a rule. The platforms of the sta tions were crowded, not so much with the arriving delegates as with those who had come down to meet them, and the ar rivals had in almost every case to walk up to the station between two solid walls Of people. As on yesterday, the largest number of arrivals was at the union sta- tion. Small delegations kept coming in all day At l o'clock a long train came in from over the "Soo" line, bringing in about 200 delegates, mostly from Ontario and Illinois, Close after this came train of five sleepers This was the first section of the St. Louis and Chicago ex- press having on board 140 delegates from Wisconsin. There are $50 in the whole delegation, but the others were on the section which was an hour behind. They had pleasant trip and seemed in good spirits as they marched up the platform, escorted by a large body of the reception committee.

POWER LOOM wEAvERs STRIKE
To Enforce an Advance in Wages-Sixty'
 Two Mills May Be Affected.

Philadelphia, July 1o.-The threatened strike of power loom ingrain carpet wea- vers to secure an advance in wages of 7is per cent was inaugurated today. when the employees of majority of the man ufactories in the district embraced in the jurisdiction of the Power Loom Weavers' Protective association left their tools. This action was taken after the employers had refused to advance.
 The strike is the result of conference held on May 2S by delegates from sixty two mills, when it was decided to de- mand the union schedule of wages or go on strike. The district embraced in the strike is very large, and for this reason the exact number of persons now unem- ployed and the number of mills affected will not be known until the strikers hold a meeting.
 Reports have thus far been received from a dozen mills affected, and the num- Der ofA weavers therein employed was 1000. A thousand employees whose work was dependent upon that of the weavers are thrown out of work.
