THE NATHAN HALE MEMORIAL.
To Preserve the School House in
Which He TAUGHT

To Preserve the School House in
Which He Taught.
New York Herald: In the old dis
trict school at East Haddam, Conn.,,
where Nathan Hale taught in 1774
and 1875, there is to be preserved a
perpetual monument to the martyr
spy of the revolution. For time it
has looked very much as if this HIS
toric building would be torn down and
destroyed, but through the patriotism
of Richard Henry Green, of this city,
whose grandfather went to school in
Nathan Hale's day, there in this very
building, it is to be saved. Mr.. Green
has removed the building to beau-
tiful site on the east bank of the Con-
necticut river, near East Haddam, a
short distance away from the original
site, and as it now sits upon high
knoll, it is visible for miles around.
The building will be dedicated as a
recommendation Hale memorial on
the anniversary of Hales execution,
September % next. 1t will be turned
over to the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, who will care for it
and place in it many relics of Nathan
Hale now in possession of the society.
At the dedication ceremonies the
Daughters of the Revolution and So
ciety of Colonial Wars will all send
representatives, and the Rev. DIR. Ed
ward Everett Hale, grand nephew of
the patriot, will deliver the dedicatory
address

declaration that the situation is we'll in

out greatly increased force.
I'VE think the tenacity of the Bilipinos
has been dhderestihated, and that the
statements are unfounded that volunteers
are willing to engage in further service.
The censorship has compelled us to
participate in this Misrepresentation by
eNcising or altering uncontroverted state-
ments of facts-on the plea, as General
Otis stated. that they would alarm the
people at home or have the people of
the United States by the ears'-of field
operations in the event of failure num-
bers of heat prostrations in the field; sys-
tematic intimidation of naval operations
and suppression of complete reports of
the situation.

NEW PEACE OvERTURES.
Aguinnldo Reported to Have Made
Direct Proposals.

Aguinnldo Reported to Have Made
Direct Proposals.
Chicago, July 19.-A special from
Washington TO the Times Herald
says:
Important cablegrams have been re-
ceived at the state department from
the Philippine commission and at the
war department. from General Otis
concerning a new move in the drec.
ton OF peace. These dispatches have
been in the hands of the president for
several days, but he has declined to
make them public because the ultra-
optimistic views heretofore received
from the same source have not been
borne out by subsequent events.
The latest dispatches are more en-
co,lrasing than the previous ones, but
the president wishes to have some con-
elusive evidence before making them
public.
AMI that can be learned definitely
abou. them is that direct overtures for
peace have been made to General Otis
by Aguinaldo and some of his princi-
pal leaders. 1t was said by cabinet
official that if the promises are full
filled the volunteers now enlisted will
not be needed

VICTORY FOR SIOUX
CITY IN RATE CASE
Commerce Commission
Declares Corn Tariff Should
Be Cut to IL Gents.
DECISION RENDERED YESTERDAY
Southern South Dakota Points
Should Have Similar Reduce
tions---Northwest Iowa
Shippers Case.

Washington, July 2o.-'rhe inter
state. commerce commission, in an
opinion by Commissioner prouty. yes
terday announced its decision in the
case of the Grain Shippers Nssocia
ton of Northwest Iowa against the
Illinois Central Railroad company and
Others.
The commission finds that the trans
portation of grain eastward from Kan
sas City and from Sioux City and other
points in the territory adjacent to
Sioux City is subject 10 competition
between the carriers; but while re-
duccd rates have resulted from the
competition at Kansas City, the COM
petition in northwest Iowa has been
more effectively restrained by am
agreement formerly in effect, and
since such agreement was cancelled. by
continuance of rates without suhstan-
tial reduction.
The rate on corn TO Chicago FROM
most points in western Iowa is II cents
per 100 pounds. Examination of the
rates and rate changes for Il period OF
years indicates TO the satisfaction of
the commission that rate of l5 cents
ON corn from Kansas City to Chicago
should be applied at all Missouri river
points, but they conclude that the evil
dence is not sufficient to enable Il def
mite conclusion. 1t does not appear.
they say, however, that the rates ON
grain from Sioux City and other points
in limited section of northwest Iowa
arc too high.
The commission decides that the 49,
cent rate on corn from Sioux City and
other points in adiacen, territory
should be reduced, that the l7-cent
rate on corn in effect from most points
i'm western Iowa should be extended To
Sioux City and points in Iowa on the
east OF the Sioux City and 81. Paul
road (now part of the Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha system)
and that corresponding reduction
should be made from other points in
southeastern South Dakota
The commission further held that
while no opinion is expressed as to
what is the proper relation of the
rates on wheat and corn from Sioux
City and adjacent territory, tho differ
ence OF a cents, which now prevails
from most shipping points in that sec
ton, should be exceeded.
The compliments also demanded
reparation, but this was denied upon
the ground that there is no proof that
the rates were unreasonable at the
time they We're paid

som few days ago and also year or

Sioux City, Ia, July ao.---l'atsy
Wagner, of Yankton $. d., and
Tommy White, of Chicago. fought jif-
teen fast rounds at Woodland park pa
vilion last night, the contest being de
clared draw
The fight from the start was clean
exhibition of science, and the most
critical could not have offered word
of objection. The crowd, which was
large and good natured, was satisfied
to a man with the contest, the only
objection offered being that no decis-
ion was given. White had many
friends in the crowd who shouted for
him TO land one of those Chicago
blows" and Magner's friends shouted
with delight every time tller favoritc
handed.
Wagner showed up well all through,
and although not as clever as White,
his staying powers enabled him TO

bury, Sec, Are the nonors Dis
tributed BY the Board.

The old and new members of the
South Dakota board of charities and
corrections met Tuesday afternoon al
Sioux Falls and transacted business.
The new board organized by the cleo.
tion of B. II. Lien of that city, as chair
man and Geo. w. Kingsbury Of Yank.
ton, secretary. The reorganization, it
is said, was satisfactory to all members
of the board as it placed most compe-
tert men in responsible positions. Fol
lowing the organization John A. Bowl
or of Sioux Falls, was chosen warden Of
the penitentiary and will take charge as
soon as his bond Of SIS, 900 is acted upon
by the board. which will probably take
place during the boards session at
Plankington this week.
The election Of Mr.. Bowler to this
responsible place in the public service
of the state is 8 most fit one and will
give general satisfaction. He was the
logical candidate for the position, in
that he had the endorsement of the en-
tire democratic element of the fusion
party in the state Besides he is in
every way qualified to discharge the
important duties of the Office to which
he has been called. He is man Of
affairs, broad in views, pleasing in
address and Of excellent executive abili-
ties, and will do credit to the party in
strumental in placing him in charge
of this great state institution.
Before the selection Of. Mr.. Bowler
the board paid visit to the deaf mute
school where they found everything in
it's usual every day order. There will
be no changes in that. institution as
Prof. Simpson is regarded by the pres
ent board, as he has been regarded by
all former boards, the right man in the
right place. The concluding act of the
board in it's session in that city was
the naming of Mr.. Bowler for warden.
