faculty Of teachers ard instruments, sp
paratus and supplies for the establishment
of an American college for girls at Santa
Cruz de Yoioa. Honduras.
Four yeats ago DR.. Jenckes visited Hon
duras on a pleasure trip. when he found
that all the better class OF natives wanted
their girls to be given an American educa-
ton ald taught the English language. be-
lieving that II was the destiny of the coun-
try to become some day a part OF the
United States.
Upon the solicitation of leading cltiz rs
of Honduras including two ex-PresideEts.
DIR. Jenckes was induced to open a sc1o1l
at Santa Cruz. The idea of an American
educatios has so spread since then that
twenty-eighJ residents have subscribed
enough to build an American college for
girls, the balance necessary being given By
the Government. DR.. Jenckes was accord
ingly sent to the United States to secure
the necessary teachers and apparatus and
left with them today for Puerto Cortez.
Temporary buildings have been erect d for
the American college. but a permanent
stone structure will be erected this year

Bryan the Issue.

The ''New York Sun" is strongly con-
WINGED that the paramount issue in the
Presidential campaign is not Imperialism,
not militarism, not the trusts, but just
simply Bryan, In certain sense we are
disposed to agree with our Republican con-
temporary As NJ. Bryan is the embodi-
ment of opposition to the Hanna Admin
istration of which Mr. Mckinley is nomi-
nally the head 70 its carpetbag imperial
ism. its assaults upon the Constitution IN
Porto Rico. its usurpation of the right
of Congress to make war. its subservieney
to the trusts, and 50 On, it may perhaps be
said with truth that Mr.. Bryan. represent
ing all the issues upon which the voting
masses of the country are fighting. is him
self the issue, from the Republican point
OF view.
1t would be equally true to say that
Hama is the issue: because. on the other
side. he stands for everything that We be-
Iieve a majority OF the American people
with TO see suppressed and abolished.

RETIREMENT FOR WHEELER.
VIII BE Relieved From Army Dut,
Next Monday at Noon.

Gen. Joseph Wheeler viii be placed on
the retired list on Monday next, at room
He is at present a brigadier in the Regu-
lar Army. and will have served six months
under his present commission.
General Wheeler reaches the age OF six
~ four years. and under law must retire.
He is now commanding the Department of
the Lakes. with headquarters at Chicago,
where he has been stationed since early
last spring This department was former
ly commanded by General Miles, later by
General Merritt. ard once by General
Brooke. all major generals of the Regular
Army.
Orders d=taching General Wheeler and
announcing his retirement to the army Will
be issued this week. His successor has rot
been selected. but the command will DE-
voive upon some officer OF high rank.
General Wheelers retirement creates a
vacancy in the grade of brigadier general,
to which the President would have ap-
pointed Gen Fitzhugh Lee but for the fact
that he has passed the age limit. Two
officers are now most prominently men
toned for il. and the selection viii p OBJ
ably 90 to one of them. These are Ma or
General Wood, Governor of Cuba. and Ma
jor General Chaffee. commanding the
troops IT. China. The latter is colonel
in the regular service. and the former
captain and surgeon. Il has been the Pres
ideat's intention to appoint General Wool
TO field rank in the army. and the present
vacancy may therefore go TO him. General
Chaffee is a much older man. however.
and has been in the line OF the army
throughout his army career. 1t is shown
that General Wood can well afford 10 wait

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 2s.-From the
present outlook all the sugar reiBeries in
this city will close down on Friday and
remain closed until Tuesday or la.er. ow-
ing to the inadequate supply of raw ma
terial. The McCahan refinery is already

source it is learned that but $4,000 tons
OF raw material is in sight. whereas
year ago the trust was melting So 600 tons
a week. and up to the present have kept
up the standard to from $4,000 to $4,000
tons. One of the best authorities on the
condition of the sugar market in this city
said:
THE McCahan Refinery has some sugar
coming. but it is not known just wien it
will arrive. l am morally certain, al
though Mr McCaiIan and his business as
sociates do not acknowledge it. that they
have an understanding with the trust. and
l venture to say that if he went to them
for quantity Of sugar. stock for his melt
ings that he would get It. unless there are
good reasons why such an arrangement is
impracticable at the present time
The market statistical figures show that
today there are no stocks of raw sugar in
importers hands in New York or else
where. while a year ago there were SO 900
tons. and the year before that 81 900 TONS"

A NEW SWEDISH LOAN.
An Attempt to Flont Bonds in
America for sIo,O0O.OOO.

CHICAGO. Aug. 29.-It is only a few
days age that England placed s2s. OOO. GOO
worth of exchequer bonds in this country,
and now comes Sweden with an offer of
a Government loan of $4,000. geo The
Swedish loan consists of an issue of s10.-
C00.000 of bonds bearing interest for ten
years, August Is, 1900, to August 10. 1910
at per cent per annum, and after that
date at 3 IL per cent per annum, the
Swedish national debt Office binding itself
not to redeem the bonds before August 10,
1920. On and after this date the loan may
be redeemed at par, subject to three
months notice.
The loan is created by the national debt
office Overwhelmingly. by the resolu-
ton Of June 2S, 1900 under authority Of
the regulations passed by the Swedish
Diet, May II. 1900. These resolutions
have received royal sanction by decree
issued June 90.
The lean is made with view largely
to the construction of railroads in the
Kingdom. 1t appears the bonds were
originally offered in London. and from the
information at hand. it is not quite clear
whether the subscription was failure
there or whether the London bankers
have since found ii advisable to ask the
United States to assist them in carrying
the lean. The price at which the bonds
are offered to American subscribers-9S
and accrued interest-would indicate that
the English subscriptions did not come
up to expectations.
The National Park Bank. of New York
has been selected to float the bonds in
this country. So far as could be learned
today. none Of the Chicago banks has as
yet decided to subscribe for any OF the
Swedish bonds. The terms of subscription
offered TO investors in this country are
practically the same as those which were
made TO the English financ:a! interests.
It was stated that payment might lie
made in full on allotments. but no dis
count would be allowed in respect OF such
prepaymsnts.
