cusANs TO BE EDUCATED.
General wheeler's Plan Finding Favor a,
Colleges.


New York. Nov. 11.-General JOSEPH
Wheeler is deeply interested in the ed.
ucation Of Cuban young men. He be.
lieves that II young Cubans will come
to this country and be tutored and then
return home they will be of great use
In developing Cuba and Introducing a
stable form of government.
General Wheeler has commissioned
Gilbert X. Harroun, treasurer Of Un.
ion College, to ask the American col
leges IL each Of them would give free
education to two or more Cubans II
the right sort of men could be found
to secure a college course in this coun
try.
Mr.. HarrOun has written to more thar
800 college presidents in the United
States asking them to cooperate ant
advance General Wheeler's plan. Nor,
than 100 replies are n, hand and will
one accord the colleges agree to take
two or more young men who can PAST
the necessary examinations, and who
can come vouched for as to character
and make them beneficiaries to the ex
tent Of free tuition.
In many cases the colleges agree ts
aid the young men beyond free tuition
In several instances the colleges, recog
mixing the difficulties under which tn,
young men In Cuba have labOred, have
agreed to receive them without insist
Ing upon passing the examinations.

Russia Plan. a Great Canal.

Russia is planning n ship canal
across the empire which shall connect
the Baltic sea with the Black sea, so
that the largest battleships can pass
through 1t at reasonable speed. Great
as the plan is, 1t is SO simple in its
engineering aspects and also from a
nnanciai viewpoint that the only won
9er Is the work has not been done
long ago. Though the waterway will
ne ten times MS long as the Suez canal
tne territorial conditions are so favor
aDle and the existing waterways are
SO large and deep and convenient In
tneir natural direction that only about
ioO miles of the 1000 miles will need
to be dug, and comparatively little
Dredging will be required to complete
the availability Of the natural water
ways.
The cost is estimated at 1854, 4,OOO,-

Topeka, Kan.. Nov. 11.-In a great
many counties OF this state II will re.
quire the official count and the sol.
diers' vote to decide the results on
some OF the county officers.
For instance, In LcavcnwOrth coun.
ty. +. b. Dawes received n majority
Of one for member OF the Legislature.
In Franklin county, Peter Kaiser, Re-
publican candidate for probate Judge,
receive a majority Of three. Miss
Mabel Marlin. the POpulist candidate
for county superintendent In Saline
county, received a majority Of four.
All these counties have company or
part Of company with the Twentieth
Kansas regiment, now on the Pacific
ocean, and the vote Of these soldiers
may make a considerable change when
received.
There are numerous instances In
other counties where the result hangs
on a few votes In either the Twentieth
