The Coming School Term.

Public School Superintendent Harlan
says the indications are that the schools
will be we'll filled this coming term. Gen.
orally there are from 900 to GOD more
scholars in the autumn than In the spring
The increase in scholars can only be esti-
mated, however. for many applications
are made on the opening day, Whore ap.
plicants cannot be Accommodated in their
own district, they can secure seats by ap-
plying in other districts not so filled up.
In about years time the pressure ON the
primary schools will be relieved by TITO
room that the new High School will afford
All high school scholars will occupy that
building, the present High School will
DO made grammer school, and No. 1
school will be lnade u primary school,
uperintendent Harlan says that ten
years attention to text books has supplied
the public schools of this city with the
latest and best books to be had. BY
changes which have boon made during the
past year the primary and grammer
courses are almost new and great improve
IN ents have been made. Last year, to the
primary and grammer COURSES Baldwin's
Reader was introduced, McMaster's United
States History was substituted for Barnes
History, and Rvdway's Geography was
brought into uso. A change in the Eng
lish grammer text book has been made

which E. Oran Lyte, president of tho Mil

MORE RIOTING IN CLEVELAND.
Streetcars Again Attacked and Their
Crews Brutally Beaten,

Streetcars Again Attacked and Their
Crews Brutally Beaten.
Cleveland, Aug. 30.-Rioting and dis
order broke out last night in connec-
ton with the strike on the lines of the
Big Consolidated Street railway and
four cars were nearly demolished,
while the crews were compelled to fleo
for their lives. 1t was only after de-
termined efforts on the part of 80 po-
lice that order was finally restored.
The first rioting of the evening &C.
Cured on Central avenue, where an
east bound car jumped from the track
at the derailing switch. 1t was about
o'clock, and workmen were return
ing home from factories and mills in
the vicinity. A mob Of several hun
bred people soon gathered and the
lawless element began to stone the
car and crew. Another east bound car
soon arrived at the crossing and was
brought 10 a standstill. The motor
men and conductors were pulled from
the car and only succeeded in escap-
ing after passing through gauntlet of
rocks and stones. The crew of the
first car Jared as bad, and even worse,
the motorman being quite badly in
jured. A west bound car was also
stopped at the crossing and the crew
was nearly mobbed by the now frantic
crowd. The front and rear vestibules
of all the cars were nearly demolished,
while every window was broken.

MCLEAN FOR GOVERNOR.
Tho Editor to Head tho Democratic
TIplat In 0hIn

Ticket in Ohio.
GAINESVILLE. o. Aug 30.-Although
the Democratic state ticket will not be
nominated till late this afternoon, the
result was decisively forecasted in the
preliminary meetings last evening. The
Mclean men carried large majority
of the q congressional districts, and
will control not only the convention,
but also the party machinery in Ohio
until the next presidential election.
The Mclean men are disposed to be
liberal to their opponents. After it
was found that Mclean had at the dis
trict meetings secured control of all
committees many called on him last
night and promised support from I'M
expected quarters. Mclean and his
managers then advised that all the
candidates for governor be voted for
on the first ballot as originally in
structed, and 1t was even suggested
that there might be two ballots, so as
to give as many complimentary votes
Us possible to the opposing candidates.
1t is quite probable that the name OF
Mr.. Mclean will be presented to the
convention very briefly Mr.. Mclean
does not believe much In speeches. He
says he would prefer to have his name
presented without commentator or
Il word of comment. General A. ].
Warner will present the name of Col
onel kilbourne in stirring speech,
and much eloquence will be expended
on the other candidates.

JlMlNez UNDeR ARREST.

6anto DemfnGs Prstenaer Held By
Order OF General Wood.
Santiago Dc Cuba. Aug. s0.-aeneral
Juan Isidro Jiminez. the revolutionary
aspiFant to the presidency Of the re-
public Of Santo Domingo. who arrived
here on Monday with his two sons by
the south coast steamer, but was not
allowed to land, came ashore yesterday
and was placed under arrest by. the
order Of General Leonard Wood, the
military governor, who will not permit
him to proceed to Santo Domingo ex-
cept after instructions to that effect
from Havana.
General Jiminez is very indignant at
the treatment to which he is sub
jected, though he does not attempt to
conceal his intention to proceed to
SantO Domingo and to become presi-
dent Of the republic.
General Jiminez said that when Gen.
eral Heureaux, the late president of
SantO Domingo, was assassinated, he
cabled to his friends in Santo Domingo
to do nothing until his arrival The
principal portion of the revolutionary
forces complied with this request. but
he asserted. his detention by the
Americans had forced q general out
break, which would probably be sue
cessful Immediately, and would GER
tainly accomplish It's purpose within
ten days after his arrival in the coun-
try.
News has reached here from Santo
Domingo confirming the report Of the
defeat by the revolutionists of General
Pepin, in command of q government
force. who lost 80 men killed and had
40 of his soldiers captured. In addi-
ton General Pepin was compelled to
abandon convoy of provisions.

East Liverpool, O., Aug. 3O.-Six
years ago last night William McKin-

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 80. 1900.


AT one time the farmers in Della
ware raised acres of crimson clover
spIoughing it under and using it as
: fertilizer. This year the crop put
ID, in this State was not as large as
Formerly. Crimson clover was
failure in many localities last year,
due to the unwise system Of sowing
too late in the year, and also to the
sowing Of seed in corn fields or 9TH
~ places that had not been proper
II prepared for the crop. In the
South, October is not too late, but
in this latitude the work should not
be delayed later than September
18th. 1t is not considered as valu-
bic crop as red clover, but has the
advantage of occupying the land
during the winter season and starts
Of early in growth in the spring,
reaching a stage which permits of
blowing it under in time for corn,
the green material serving as a
source of nitrogen, for which pur-
pose it is largely grown. But few
Farmers grow it for hay, if red
clover will thrive on their farms.
Lime and crimson clover are con-
sidered one of the cheapest and best
combinations that can be used for
restoring nitrogen without expend-
ing sums for commercial fertilizers
and excellent results have been OBJ
tanned with crimson clover wherever
it has been used as green MANFRED
crop. A seed sower should be used
10 secure even distribution OF the
seed and if sown early, the vacant
spaces may be seeded again.
Gov. TUNNEL and Mayor Fahey
have inaugurated movement
whereby the citizens of the State
and Wilmington can assist the
starving Porto Ricans and the peo-
pie will contribute, they being ever
ready to respond to the cry OF the
helpless and extend charity to those
who are in want.
The United States Government
has already distributed rations at
Phoebus, Va, where the yellow
fever quarantine has made the peo-
pie destitute, and is giving the hur-
ricane stricken inhabitants of Porto
Rico, food to keep them from starv-
ing until the supplies that are be-
ing gathered in this country can
reach them.
While States and cities in other
parts of the country are lending aid
to the Porto Ricans, who are now
numbered among the inhabitants of
the United States, Governor Tun-
nell and Mayor Fahey want the
people of this State to have a hand
IN the work. The case is one that
requires prompt action on the part
of the charitably inclined, however.
