SUBSCRIPTIONS
FOR THE FAIR

st. Louis, March 23.-Within three days
the actual work of taking subscriptions
for stock in the worlds fair corporation
will in all probability be begun. This
was decided at a meeting of the legisla-
tive committee which held a two hour
session today. A matter which OCCASION
ed considerable controversy was whether
or not any cali should be made before the
entire IS, 900, coo was subscribed by the
people. After several of the committee
had spoken on this ait some length, it was
finally decided not to ask for a cent from
the people of St. Louis until the whole
amount had been subscribed. This de-
clsiOn is a guarantee that no more than
two calls of five per cent each will be
made within the first six weeks and that
no more than 20 per cent can be asked in
any six months. The reports Of work &C
complished were regarded as most en-
cou1a ging and the feeling vas that the
entire amount needed would be pledged
within the next thirty days.

San Francisco, March 23.-The Chroni-
Gle says: Private advices from New York
that DreXel, Morgan & Co. of
that city will in the near future estab-
lish a bank in this city. The business of
the new bank will have special reference
to San Francisco's enlarging commercial
traffic with the Orient. AS is well known,
silver is the medium of trade in the far
east, and the new ban will engage eX-
tensively in handling Mexican dollars and
silver exchange. 1t is reported that the
capital will be s., 1000, 900, nearly all OF
which has been subscribed in New York.
The Chronicle also repeats the rumor
that the Rothschilds intend to establish
a bank here with a capital of $o,OOO,0 900,
and that Edward POLITE and Henry st.
Goor will probably be it's managers.

MANY NEGROES:
ARE DESTITUTE

New York, March 23.-It Is likely that
the destitute negroes who arrived in Jer-
sey City from Oklahoma a week ago hop
ing to continue IN their journey to Liber-
ia, will settle in Jersey City, Lang Island
City and various parts of NewiYork. One
week of confinement in their cramped
quarters has served to completely dis
pei their dreams of the African paradise
and they no longer cling to the hope of
reaching it. They do not know what they
are going 30 do or where they Will go but
sit or stand around in the car during the
DAY and sleep in the seats at night, only
going far enough to buy food and return
Immediately lest they should become sep
arated from the others. Arrangements
have about been completed for leaving
the cars today.
Rev. w. C.. Halves. leader and spolles-
man Of the immigrants, has bestirred
himself to find them shelter. The railroad
officials informed Chief Murphy of Jer-
sey City that if the immigrants had not
left the cars by today they would be eject
ed. Chief Murphy had a consultation
with Overseer of the Poor John Hewitt
and afterward informed the railroad Off
Gals that the authorities in Jersey City
woulo refuse to allow the railroad COM
pany to eject the colored people and have
them become public charges. 1t is almost
certain that immediate aid will be given
to the immigrants by the colored people
of this city. Rev. d. w. Wisher, pastor
of Mount Olivet Baptist church has been
several times to see the immigrants and
has promised that he would call his con-
gregation together and ask them to
help.
The burde for caring for the 1914 i'm
migrants has fallen upon five of the party
who are better supplied with means. Mr..
Halves has spent over $500 since he left
Oklahoma. Mr.. Halves says that he in
tended to do everything that he could to
get back the none that they had paid to
the immigration society,". az

New Stock brokerage Firm

St. Louis, March 23.-The Republic
says: St. Louis is to have a new bond
and stock brokerage company, which will
be one of the largest in the country, n
its advent on the street will be a surprise
to most of the brokers. The Drummond
estate, which has been incorporated
under the laws of Missouri, will engage
in the bond and stock brokerage bust
ness. James 7. Drummond, Jr., is presi-
den of the common company; Charles
H. Drummond is vice president and gem
eral manager, Harry |. DrummOnd is
treasurer and w. Davis Pitman secre-
tary. The company has already pur-
chased a half interest in one of the
largest bond and stock brokerage con-
Germs in New York, and H. Drummond,
who is a membe of the New York stock
exchange, will manage the business at
that end of the line. A direct private
wire to New York will be put in. y

RELIEF FOR
THE CUBANS
Will Not be Distributed by the
COmmiSSarieS
BUT BY THE RED CROSS
This Will Cause the Cutting Off of
Numbers Who Are Not Real
ly Entitled to Aims.
BUT BY THE RED R o

New York, March pa dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: Now that
it has been decided to charge to the Gu
ban revenues the cost of all army rations
distributed after March 81, as charity to
the INDECENT, some sensible reforms in the
methods of relief hitherto pursued have
been suggested to Gov. Gen. Brooke. I'm
der the present system the United States
government has scattered it's aims with a
lavish and discriminating hand, and al
though restitution can scarcely be said to
have increased alarmingly since January
/, the demand for aid has outgrown all
measure of the rations delivered as char
ity, in March numbering about 1000, 900,
as against only 1000, 900 two months be-
fore. AS the value of each ration is IA
cents in gold, the governments relief
! work for March will cost the commissary
department about $3.50, 900.
1t is now urged that this sum, or such
part of it as may be thought necessary
to be expended in April, not through the
commissary, but through the relief agen-
cies which have been established here by
Mr.. Gould and his associate workers of
the Red Cross society. Generals Montea-
SuQO ana severe NuneZ, Lopez, LeIVa,
Peraza and Menocal, of the military as
sembly, have united in a petition to the
governor general to put the SburS
ment of the April appropriation in the
hands of Mr.. Gould's organization, and
the reason given for the request is the
sufficient one that in that way only can
the root of existing distress be cached.
The return of the country population to
their abandoned farms is. the sole means
of ending the suffering of which the signs
are now so patent, and as long as the
former reconcentradOS linger about the
towns and military camps living on the
charity of the enemy commissary, so long
will restitution and pauperism continue.
The society of which Mr.. Gould is the
head proposes to establish centerS of re-
lief in the country districts and to help
the farming population settle down at
their old pursuits, giving assistance on the
spot to all who show a desire to revive
the prosperity of the island by going to
work on it's long neglected soil.
La Lucia vigorously supports this re-
form in governmental charity work, and
The re-settlement of the farms will in
deed solve one of the most pressing prob
lens of Cuban reconstruction. General
Monteagudo, who actively espoused the
cause of General Gomez in the latter's
conflict with the assembly, started today
for Santa Clara province, where he has
been authorized by General Brooke to or
ganize a rural police. The assembly held
no meeting this afternoon at Cerro, a
quorum failing to appear.

Secretary Long is highly gratified at the
prospect of such a reserve force in the
mid-Pacific, especially as it is impossible
to maintain as large a regular naval
force at present as the Importance of the
islands would justify. 1t is expected that
a naval officer will soon be spared to I'M
dertake the instruction of the Hawaiian
battalion in technical matters, drills and
routine of ship life. in which, if possible,
a monitor or gunboat will be assigned to
the battalion for cruising duty. The ap-
preparation of congress providing for
arms and equipment for naval militia
organizations may not be at once avail
able for the Hawaiian battalion, as it is
apparently limited to states, emitting
any mention of territories, although the
of Columbia militia, which was
recently organized, participates in the
fund. The Hawaiians are aware of this
legislative oversight, but they propose to
ahead and bear all expenses them
selves If necessary, realizing tina such
as they will give Honolulu is

WILL ORGANIZE
NAVAL MILITIA

New York, March ga dispatch to
the Tribune says: Hawaii is to have a
naval militia organization similar to the
auxiliary forces possessed by many Of
the states which were so valuable in the
recent Spanish war. Secretary Long re-
ceived a letter on the subject today from
J. B.. Castle, who was the Hawaiian Sec
rotary of the legation at Washington be-
fore annexation, asking that the neces-
sary steps be taken at once at Honolulu.

evidently made by the addition Of some
of the English methods of rowing. The
catch Is not as hard as the ODea stroke,
but the oar goes in with a light eaten,

Is also rather gentle, but when the slide
begins and the arms are to be used the
hands are brought up with almost a jerk,
and the boat jumps. The reach of the
crew Is almost aOnormally long, and il
they have any advantage it is in that
The recovery is very good, although the
boat seems to check slightly between
strokes. The blade like in the Columbia
stroke cuts out of the water sharply az
the end of the stroke and is fethered
back as far as possible.
The stroke that the Pennsylvania crews
are rowing, and which they nave attained
great degree of perfection is the char
acteristie Ward stroke, changed but little,
il any, from that used by the varsity
last year when it defeated the same COM
bination of crews against which it is now
pitted.
The stroke depends very largely on the
leg drive. even more so than on the catch,
the drive of the leg on the finish of the
stroke being strong, and giving such an
impetus to the boat that there Is surpris-
ingly little checking between the strokes.
The reach is good, the blade being car
ried well back, but the grip of the water
is slower than that of most of the other

that of Cornell. which catches the water
