BROOKE COUNTY TEACHERS.

special to the Register.
WELLSBURG, w. Va, July 24.-The
second day of the Brooke county teach
ers' institute was called to order this
morning. The days programme was
opened by singing, Scriptural reading
and prayer by Prof. Skinner. Roll call
by Secretary Miss Craft showed some
new teachers enrolled since the open
ing.
Prof, Foulk took up the topic County
and District Superintendent" and stated
there were many county superintendent
who were unfit for the office; that poll
ticfans ran this office and would continue
to run it so long as the present manner of
electing superintendent was in vogue
To get better superintendent it would be
best to divorce it from politics, much af-
ter the manner used in Pennsylvania. His
line of talk showed the present system
of superintendent a farce and of no
benefit to the schools
j. e. Baxter followed on the same sub
Ject and agreed with Prof Foulk. w. A.
Strain thought the matter should go to
the Legislature. Send a committee from
every county to present the matter to our
law makers and have them revise the
laws III the manner OF electing Superin-
tendent. Supt. Burge thought that only
school teachers, male and female, should
vote on superintendent
Prof. Skinner next opened the discus
sion on District Institutes He brought
out many new points in regard to the
things to be learned at the district insti-
tutes.
After noon Prof. Foulk spoke on the
Virginia convention and of its bearing
our own State.
J. Z. Kemp opened the discussion on the
question of supplying free text books to
the schools. He spoke against it and
gave several good reasons. Mr.. Hogg
spoke in favor it. as did Mr.. Scott Mr..
Buckner and several others
1t was decided not to hold night ses-
Sions.

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, July 24.-Bearish foreign
news and an apathetic outside attitude
were largely responsible for weakness
in wheat to-day September closing
112@19sc under yesterday. Corn closed
1@11sc down, and oats u depressed.
Provisions at the close were unchanged
to &c down.
Wheat had not recovered from the
injection of foreign bearish news when
the market opened to-day and Septem-
Der accordingly began the session g q
p to 1aQ5sc down at 76ss to 7615c.
The crowd figured that with little ex-
port business here, probable large
southern receipts and the Russian and
Danubian shipments increased yester-
day, wheat was not worth prevailing
prices. Following this, the market on
covering by shorts for profits and lit
tie scattered buying rallied to 76Ac.
Then the market began to slide and it
slid with the greatest ease, helped by
a decline at Paris, reports that France
will raise wheat enough for her own
consumption and that Russia has a
large supply of hold-over wheat. Sep
TENDER early declined to i55sc. rallied
to 1875 @76Ac, lost its hold again and
then, on Bradstreet's announcement
that the worlds visible had decreased
100000 bushels recovered to 76Bc.
This bulge, like the others, was lost,
and the close found the market at its
weakest, September 11a61hc under
yesterday at 75bc. Winter wheat
points received less wheat than the
same day last year-413,00O against
1880 year ago. These figures were
influential in the second rocky from
751s to 76s676Ac New York re-
ported forty loads taken for export and
cash sales here put at $4,000 bushels.
Clearances at >the seaboard in wheat
and flour were equal to 10000 bush
els. Primary receipts aggregated
704,0000 bushels against 657 1000 the
corresponding day of last year. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported 226 cars

year ago. Local receipts were 291
cars, Sc Of contract grade.
Corn was quiet and lower early, but
steadied after good concession in
prices. There were heavy rains in the
best growing States. And encourage
ment to sellers was to be found in
talk that the export demand which has
been very excellent was showing signs
of exhaustion. Some exporters were
credited with re-selling here. The
price suffered over lie early and there
after fluctuations were narrowed not
much pressure either way. September
sold bewtene 80 and 3S, and closed Ia
11sc down at 3S1ac. Receipts here
were $50 cars. Oats were relatively
firm, supported by the Iowa report
that oats in shock and in stack suf-
fered from the incessant rains. The
northwest was a moderate seller while
there was some good local support.
September sold between 23A @23$ and
23@231sc, closing Ac down at 231sc.
Receipts were 1877 cars.
Compared with the grains provisions
were firm. easing but little in sym
pathy with the grain weakness. The
market felt the sustaining influence of
light hog receipts and liberal ship
ments of the product. Trade was quiet.
September pork sold between $1,000
and s11.S71a and closed unchanged at
Sill 921a September lard between
s6.771s and $6.S71a, closing sc lower at
$6.S71a. and September ribs between

pressed at $685..

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The Navy
Department is preparing for possible
/, eventualities arising out of the situa-
ton in China. One of the great diff
culties which would confront the
United States in the event of the naval
warfare in Chinese waters is the lack
of naval base close to the scene of
operations. Manila is two thousand
miles from Taku, while some of the
other powers have bases within strik-
ing distance. England has base ut
Wei-Hei-Wei and coaling station at
Che Foo; Russia has the naval base at
Port Arthur and Germany one at Klou
Chou. Beside in case of naval war.
the ports of China, which in ordinary
times are open for the purchase of all
ordinary supplies and stores, would be
closed.
A feet of GOLFERS will have TO be
utilized to take out coal for our ships
and to ply back and forth between our
squadrons and Manila. This plan,
however, has it's obstacles, owing to the
fact that foreign countries have COB
bled everything af1oat that could be
utilized for shipping coal and stores.
Germany and Japan have even i'm
pressed steamers. The result is that at
the present time fifty per cent OF our
government freight for the orient is
being carried in foreign bottoms.
Consequently prices have materially
advanced. Freight charges on coal
which the Navy Department was able
to ship to Manila for 81 ton, now costs
So and the price of coal itself has ma
terially increased.
The department therefore practically
would be compelled to rely upon its
own vessels. AS a precautionary
measure the Golfers purchased during
the Spanish war which had gone out
of commission are being fitted out for
service. The watership Arethusa,
which also was purchased during that
war, but which was procured too late
for service, is being prepared at the
League Island navy yard. Owing to
the lack of naval officers available, the
golfers on the Atlantic coast under
orders for China are being equipped
with merchant crews Admiral Brad
ford, chief of the bureau of equipment,
to-day recommended that the Leonidas
and Pompey, both at the League ISL
and yard, be fitted out at once.

Six Men and Three Boys Prepare

Six Men and Three Boys Prepared

CHICAGO, July 24.-According to
the police daring attempt to hold up
the Big Four passenger train due at
p. M, was foiled by the timely warn
ing given the authorities. Six men and
three boys armed with revolvers,
waited during the afternoon at the
Drexel Park station. They were OBJ
served and Inc police notified A
wagon load of blue coats hurried to the
scene and were met by brisk fire,
which they returned. The police cap
tured three boys, each armed with two
pistols. The six men, three of them
colored, had fed. The boys told the
police the men had given them the re-
volvers and told them to shoot when
their seniors did. The police declare
that the men evidently intended to stop
The train and rob it, hoping to escape
easier in the streets of a big city than
would be possible in sparsely settled
districts.
