LINCOLN SCHOOL.
West MankatO Teachers Prefer
This Name.
Suggestion Made That the West Man.
kato and East MankatO Schools Be
Given Names.

The teachers OF the West Mankato
school desire that some better name
be. gwen that building than it now
bears, and suggest that it be called
the Lincoln school, in accordance
with custom OF naming school build
ingS after the presidents.
The matter came up at the meeting
of the school board last night, Whe n
Superintendent VarneY- reported a
conversation which he mad had viii h
the West Mankato teachers. They
had said that their building had no
name, and he had told them to con-
slider the matter and suggest a name
which he would offer 10 the board.
Principal Emerson afJerward reported
that the teachers had agreed upon
the name of Lincoln. Mr.. Varney
said that the school ought to be nam
ed, as the other buildings have
names. -
MIR. Fletcher SAID that the build
ing was -ealled the West ManKato
building because it was the further
est west.
Capt. Keysor said that while the
board was considering names it might
be well to think Of a name for the
East Mankato building.
Mr.. Fletcher said that the Union
building took it's name from union
of school districts in the early days.
Prof. Varney said that in most
cities the school buildings are named
after authors and statesmen.
Capt. Keysor said that when the
Pleasant Grove building was put up,
there WAS fine grove about it, which
has since been cut down.
MIR. Fletcher said that the Frank
lin building took its name from the
street which rues, by it.
The matter was discussed a little
further, but no action was taken.
Supt. Varney reported that the
| buildings have been scrubbed out. lie
said that he had prepared a listof the
high school graduates from the only
records at hand, a catalogue issued
some years ago, old commencement
programs, and the files of newspapers.
There are 2l5 graduates. He said
| that sickness prevented him from at
tending the annual meeting of the
State Educational Association, but
that Miss Deem and Prof. Leyenber'
ger had attended.
Taking up the matter of atten'
dance, Prof. Varney said that there
was slight decrease in the primary
departments during December. The
total enrolment had increased from
1852 in November to 1877 in Deem
Der, or exactly 100 less than last year
The enrolment by buildings in De

Denver, Colo, March 4.-Governor
Adams, in connection with the COVER
nors of Wyoming and Utah, has de-
cided 10 do all he can to break up the
gang of outlaws operating where the
three states meet. Judging from the
secrecy that is being maintained they
have determined to wipe out the gang
once for all.
A few days ago there was a meeting
here of prominent cattle and sheep
men with the governor and state au-
ditor Lowell. The governor stated that
the object of the meeting would not be
given out today.
Mr.. Lowell said: THE crowd of cat
tie thieves and desperadoeS has gotten
a stronger hold in the Powder Springs
section, where they are now located,
than is generally supposed. There are
several settlers there who have been
aiding the gang secretly. 1t is a well
known fact that there are certain par
ties who own ranches in Routt county
who have not only winked at the dep
relations of the outlaws, but have even
aided the outfit Whether this has been
done through fear or for the purpose of
sharing the spoils, 1 cannot say"
The killing OF Hoy by the gang was
the crCwning stroke of holiness of this
gang, and it has brought the situation
home to the governors Of the states in
which it operates. Correspondence has
already passed between them and they
have decided to act, but Will keep their
plans secret for the present.

RoTHSCEILD'S RAILROAD.
Party Lands at Juneau Prepared to
Go Ahead.

Juneau, Alaska, March 1, via Port
Townsend, Wash, March 4.-That the
Rothschilds will attempt to build u
railroad to the Yukon IS now believed
certainty. The steamer Walcott,
which arrived here last night, landed d
party Of over 10 men and equipments
for railroad building at Pyramid har-
Dor. near the Pyramid Harbor salmon
cannery, last Sunday.
S. Onderdonk, the engineer in charge
of the party and of the construction,
Immediately ordered the men to locate
and build houses upon the lands near
the cannery. Lumber was taken along
for the purpose. This move is made to
hold the towDsite. The place had been
surveyed in January and plan of the
district was submitted at that time to
the surveyor general of Alaska. There
vas fled notice that 2 grant from the
United States was wanted for a rail-
road terminal, trading post and factory
and for a right of way for a railroad
over the Dalton trail.
These transactions were all accom-
plished in the name of H. Bratnober,
who is known to. be the mining ex-
pert and mineral purchasing agent of
the Rothschilds, and who few weeks
ago left for London to consult with the
Rothschilds and TO arrange with the
Canadian government for the privilege
of crossing their territory.
Mr.. Onderdonk reports that the

ago, and has been delivered to the Bra
lillian government. Her sister ship is
still at the Armstrong yards in Eng
lard
They are useful cruisers, copies of the
Barossa. Their great usefulness is their
great cruising capacity-S.0O0 miles.
The other two ships building Cor
Brazil in France, which are also re-
ported to be about to pass into Spanish
possession, are presumed to be the Dea-
doro and the Floriona, which are build
ing at La Sienne, Toulon. These are
small but powerful little battleshipS.
Their tonnage is only 3,162 but they
carry four 10-inch rifles in turrets, in
addition TO two 6-inch and four 40
inch guns. and a good secondary bat
terry. Their coal endurance, however, is
small, and their forte would seem to be
coast defense operators, or cruising
near the base of supplies.
The London reports also caused COM
ment at the state department. In some
quarters the feeling was expressed that,
pending the finding of a court of in
quiry on a case having the interna-
tiOnal phases of the Maine explosion,
the obligations of neutrality were as
strongly imposed on Great Britain and
Brazil as IN time of war. The Drece-
dents apply only TO a condition of war,
and not to conditions which may even
tually lead to war. In the Geneva
award, however, unfriendly acts by
Great Britain prior to the breaking out
of the rebellion constituted part of the
case on which heavy damages were
awarded against her. But, as a general
rule, foreign governments are free to
sell warships, either directly or through
their citizens, up to the actual date of
hostilities.

London. March Spain has pur-
chased two cruisers which the Arm
stongs have been building fer Brazil,

named. of 1000 tons each, % knots and
10 guns. Spain is also negotiating for

a similar type which have been build
ing in Fance for Brazil.
The AmazoniuS Is ready for launching
and her sister ship Will soon be ready.
The Spanish government is also en-
deaVoring to secure guns and large
supplies of ammunition in England.
and on the continent, for immediate
use.
The government of Spain seems to
have funds, for it is understood to be
paying a large part of the purchase
money in cash, giving good security for
the balance. these being the only terms
upon which the Armstrong; would deal.
Some weeks ago Spain attempted to
purchase ships and supplies In Eng
land on credit from prominent firms
having close relations with the govern
ment. but after inquiries the firms re-
fused to give credit. Since then Spain
has raised funds from unknown
sources.
Diplomats in London express the be-
lief that French fnanciers are helping
the Spanish government
It is known that Spain is trying to
purchase three other ships which are
being built by the Armstrong;, but she
has not yet succeeded in making
bargain, consequently there is still time
# the United States wishes TO fore
stall Spain in the purchase of other
ships building in English and continen-
tai dock yards.
While Chilli denies that any of the
ships ordered for that country are for
sale, it is believed by naval construct
ors that Chili's best cruiser. the O'Hig-
gins, which is just finished, could be
purchased.
