In the several department sessions al
most the entire gamut of education was
discussed from child study through kim
.tlergarten and grammar grades poly
'technic and art branches to ultimate
points OF the business college curriculum
on the one hand and the university course
on the other. In the initial stage of what
in it's entirety was prolonged discus

Trinidad, Col, July 12.-Southbound
passenger train No. ! on the Colorado
& Southern railway was robbed by four
men at point five miles south of Fol-
som, ~ NJ, last night. the same point
a passenger train was held up last Sep
tember After the train came to a stand
still and the crew was intimdated by
guns the robbers used dynamite with good
effect blowing open the express car. The
railway and express state positively that
nothing was secured by the robbers. Su-
perntendent Webb left for the scene of
the holdup on special train accompan-
led by officers with horses. He is conf
dent he will be able to overtake the rob-
bers. The few passengers on train were
not molested. AS soon as the robbers
searched the express car they mounted
horses and, firing few shots to alarm
the trainmen. fled without any attempt
to go through the mail car. Parties here
who claim to know say there was a large
amount of money in the express, as well
as valuable matter.

public good would be higher law and

ter as now presented. seems to be one
for administrative decision by the war
department.
The attorney general, in concluding.
recommends that the commander in
Cuba be directed to refer the subject to
the civil authorities of Havana, with di-
rections to investigate the status of the
Dady claim, to determine whether it is
for the interests of the city that the inns
provements be carried out in the imme-
date future, or whether the project
should be abandoned. When the facts
and the opinion of the civil authorities
are obtained, the war department could
direct such action as then might seem
advisable.

est import from Guatemala was brought

matter of construction of a system of
sewers and the paving of the streets of
Havana by a contract made with Michael
]. Dady {. Co., pursuant to the pro-
visions of the old Spanish law. The at

Granite Works Combine.

Portland, Me-, July 12.-James G. Bat
terson, Jr., vice president of the New
England granite works, confirms the re-
port that combinatio of various east
ern quarries is under way. There are
about fifteen properties which will be
in the combine, which will represent some
$15,oOO,0oO capital. All the work in the
consolidation movement is being done
by the owners themselves. and not a
share of stock will be offered to the pub
lie. In explaining why the consolidation
was necessary, Mr.. Patterson said that
the high-grade granite industry in New
England had been to some extent injured
by the large quantity of poor quality
granite which had been placed on the
market during the past few years. 1t is
understood that John Pierce, one of the
largest owners Of granite quarries in
this section, together with Booth BROTH

works in Maine, are supporting the

Wont Sell the Ships.

Washington, July 12.-An offer from a
prominent firm of shpbrokers, doing a
large foreign business, to purchase the
Reina Mercedes and any and all of the
other war craft captured during the late
war has aroused the suspicion that Spain
is trying in this indirect manner to OBJ
tain possession Of vessels. and thus re-
move the affense to Spanish pride caused
by floating the American flag over her
ships. The navy department will not sell
any of these vessels, and that answer will
be returned to the writer of the letter.

Dewey at Suez.

Suez July 12.-The cruiser Olympia,
from Colombo, Ceylon, June %, has been
sighted. Admiral Dewey said he was in
very good health. He appeared in excel
lent condition. which was also the case
with his officers and men. Most of them
have suffered from malarial fever, but
have now recovered. The Olympia has
been quarantined no direct communica-
ton with shore being allowed. Conse-
Quently a representative of the Associat-
ed Press was only able to converse with
the admiral from a launch alongside the
cruiser. After passing through the canal
he will call at Trieste. Thereafter the ad-
mirafs plans are uncertain. Possibly he
will go to Gibraltar, and thence to New
York.

NO RIOTS AT PRESENT
Says Financial Agent of That Gov
ernment But Later Reports Say
England and Germany Will Make
Demonstrations.

New York, July 12-Martin F. Roberts,
financial representative of the govern
ment of Guatemala, is in the city trying
to sell a railroad that has been built in
the little republic by American capital
lists. He says that his republic and most
of the other republics making up the Gen.
trail American states look forward to the
day when they will be part of the Unit
ed States. Besides the agitation there for
annexation, Mr.. Roberts says, there is a
pronounced feeling against the silver
standard The fault found with silver is
that it f1uctuates with the crops.
'"The stories from San Francisco" said
Mr. Roberts, regarding an impending
revolution in Guatemala are all nonsense.
| One of the prominent men who reached
that city and assisted in sending out the
alarming reports is a groceryman. The
others are about equally important. You
see it is easy to start either the story or
revolution in Guatemala. All that is
| necessary is a half dozen hungry men
and something to eat. Some of the men
try to get something to eat without pay
| ing for it, there is your revolution The
; immediate trouble now is about the de-
basement Of silver. That metal is the
standard there, and it fuctuates with the
price of coffee. There was tremendous
crop of coffee this year, and even now
more will be grown there than was ever
known before. The result is that the
price has fallen to a degree lower than
known before, and somehow the silver
follows it, There is no use in denying that
the metal is greatly debased in Guate-
, mala, and that fact has brought about
the present bad financial and business
conditions. But to talk of revolution
on that account is nonsense"
