TWO CUBAN BOYS MISSING
Students for Booker Washington's
 College Cannot Be Found

Savannah, Ga, May 2.-Two Cuban boys came over on the Ward liner Havana when the vessel brought tho Second and Third engineers, some six or seven days ago. They are now missing and a search has been insti- tnted for them.
 The Cubans came to enter the col Iege for colored youths at Tuskegea, Ala, over which Booker T. Washing ton presides. The college authorities heard of the coming of the boys and a professor of the institution is in the city to see if he can find them.
 Colonel Deveaux, collector of this port, is assisting the professor in the prosecution of his search. but it has so far proven unsuccessful
 It is thought that the boys may have gone on to Atlanta with the Third engineers or with the Second engineers to Augusta.

THE SOUTH AND MIR. BRYAN.
Senator Clay Represents an Element
 Not Under His Spell.

Washington, May 2.-Apparently
 southern democrats are not so welded
 to the idea of nominating MT. Bryan
 as the free silver leader would have
 those in the north believe. Th.s is
 indicated in an interview which
 Senator Clay of Georgia gives in Washington. Senator Clay is one of the democrats who voted for the rati-
 ficaton of the peace treaty, and he
 believes his action strengthened him with his people. He says, however,
 that while they wanted the war ended they are not generally favorable to the permanent retention of the Philip pines
 'aThey realize" he says, that we cannot leave these people to the naer- cies Of a savage government, nor can we leave them a prey to foreign na- tions, but at the same time they hope that the time is not far distant when we can establish the FiliTtnos on a firm foundation and then leave them. I do not think we ought to hold the islands indefinitely. although 1 am sure IndI we Cdu QtN0iOp Oi lO 4S4NO' and as for Cuba, I confidently expect to see it a state inside of ten years
 When asked whether the Georgia delegation would support Bryan, Sen ator Clay repied promptly: .'f cam not say that the delegation will be fer Bryan. Who will support? I do not know yet I have not made up my mind. The convention is year dis tant, and many things may happen In that time to change the present s1tu- ation. Silver may not be the para mount issue next year. It IS impossi- ble to say now who will De supported by the Georgia delegation.
 "I am for the free coinage of silver. I was elected to the senate on that issue, and I have never waVered. At the same time there are in Georgia, as you know, a great many people who are not favorable to the free coinage of silver. They supported the party, however and for this reason l always them when I was chairman of the state committee"

RAGE FEELING ON A. wARsH1p
White Jackies Resent Presence o1
 Colored Recruits.

New York, May 2-The United State cruiser New Orleans is sched- uled to leave the Brooklyn navy yard on May '. She is to go to New Or leans for the purpose of permitting the city she is named for to see her, and the men and crew have antici, pated a pleasant voyage.
 However, there is much discomfort among the white men Of the crew in reference to the large number of col ored recruits that have been assigned to the vessel. Of the 112 men who all ready have been taken on, thirty are colored. The white sailors say that in view of the race feeling in the south they believe the reception to the crew will be less hearty on ac- count of this unusually large percen- tage of co1ored men on the vessel.
 The cruiser will remain at New Or leans for a month and then return to the Brooklyn yard.

by the cooperation at the last moment It is inferred from this that the naxt president of Yale will be taken from the number whose names have already been mentioned fcr the office.
 The corporation has decided to keep silent about the presidency until the members are ready to give the name to the public.

ANTAGoN1zE MAY CONFERENCE.
Virginia Officials Opposed to the Choice
 of Senators by Popular Vote.

Richmond, Va, May 2.-Congress- man Jones is still in the city looking aftsr the interests of the May confer ence people. MT. Jones is satisfied, he says, that the coming conference is going to be a much greater gathering than those who are opposed to it imagine. There will he thinks, be comparatively few office holders among those who attend. The fact is that most of the state office hold CTS, if not the local ones, are antag- onizing the holding of the May con- ference. Many of these gentlemen discourse very eIoquently in urging meet. Indeed, some of these gentle men not only insist that it is not good politics to hold this conference, but offer reasons why the people should not be allowed to choose United States senators.
 Tt is understood that all the mem bers of the supreme court of appeals, except one. are in fvaor of the selec- ton of senators by popular vote. The  exception is said to be Judge CardweH. The information here is that most of the members of the circuit and county Judiciary are not inclined to favor the May conference idea.
 The impression has been made, so the friends of this movement claim, that if this thing of allowing senators to be chosen by popular vote is once conceded, the people will never stop until they select the judges and all of the heads of the state departments by the same method. This view has had it's effect upon this class of office hold CTS, as is shown by the seeming una nimity with which they oppose the holding of a conference.
 A close investigation of the subject seems to indicate that the elements antagonizing the selection of senators by primary are largely those that have {. heretofore fought the holding of a constitutional convention. These forces include the office holders, the railroads and other large corporations in the commonwealth

NEW TREATY WITH MEXICO.
An Important Exception From the One
 Formerly in Force.

Washington, May 2.-The new ex- tradition treaty between the United States and Mexico which went into ef- feet Saturday, is drawn substantially on the lines of the defeated treaty, with one important exception. This is the paragraph relating to the e1er- else of eXtra-territorial jurisdiction. On that point the treaty prescribes that such jurisdiction shall not be eX- ercised by either party except over it's own consuls in the other country and in the case of counterfeiters and users of false national seals. These are generally regarded as very proper exceptions. Thus the Mexican govern ment comedies a question that prom ised at one time to involve the two counuies in very serious entangle ments when the Mexican government to punish the American, Cutting, for criticisms published in his paper in Texas.

HIS BRAIN WEIGHED 37 OUNCES

New York, May 2.-Dr. O'Hanlon formed an autopsy on the body of i John Chester, thirty-five years of age,
 who was taken to the Manhattan hos
 pital with broken back,
 and who died the next day Chester
 was found unconscious leaning
 against fence. A policeman learned
 that Chester had passed the greater part of Sunday night in. a saloon dis
 cussing mesmerism, and that he was
 experimented upon. He fell to the floor of the saloon in the trance and was taken out by the men and placed against the fence where he was found.
 The autopsy revealed that the mans brain weighed only thirty-seven. ounces. The average weight of the brain, DT. O'Hanlon said, in males was forty-n:ne and a half ounces, and in females forty-four ounces. The maxi mum was siXty-fve ounces and the minimum thirty-four ounces.
 In addition to the excessively light weight of the brain, there was an ex- cess of white over gray matter in it. This, pr. O'Hanlon said, indicated a lack of intelligence and lethargic but also was indicative of strong physical characteristics It was an indication of the preponderance of the animal qualities over the mental Such man, Dr. Hanlon sad, could be mesmerized easily. Chester's death, Dr. O'HanlOn declared was due to a fracture of the spine between the Sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae

STRIPPING ARMY POSTS.
Some in the Department of the East
 Will Not Be Kept Up.

Washington, May 2.-General Mer- ritt, commanding the department of the east, has been in consultation with Secretary Alger and Adjutant-G Corbin regarding the manning of the forts and posts in his department The withdrawal of troops for service in. the Philippines will leave some of these posts without sufficient gar risons.
 It has been suggested that the posts on tha northern border might be abandoned and the decision has been reached not to attempt to keep them up as posts, but to place them in charge of invalided officers and a very small force, sufficient to take care of them The different forts along the
