San Juan Training school Burned.

San Juan de Puerto Rico, July Is
The model training school, which was
completed last December was destroyed
by fire. The structure was of wood,
two stories in height and burned with
great rapidity. The fire department
had no serviceable equipment. The
fire was due to spontaneous combus-
ton in the laboratory. The furniture,
stock of books and the records of the
board Of education for fifty years were
destroyed The loss is $4,000; insur-
ance $4,000.

Topeka, July l3.-The supreme court
has held that persons convicted of
murder in the first degree, without
regard to age, must suffer the sentence
of death, which in Kansas amounts to
Imprisonment for life. This decision
was rendered in a murder case which
was appealed to the supreme court
from Harper county. 1t was known
as the Kernstett case, in which boy
16 years of age killed his cousin. This
is the first time the question has been
raised in Kansas

WORKINGMEN INTERESTED.
At Least 100000 Work Making Goods
For Export.

Washington, July 13.-Our exports
of manufactured cottons to China in
May, 1899, when there was no dis
turbance of commercial relations,
amounted to 13, $50 yards The
boxer instruction became disturbing
element in April last In May, 1900,
our exports of cotton manufactures to
China were only 7,7Gl ,450 yards.
These figures show what interest at
least 100000 working people have in
the state of affairs in China.
Our whole annual trade with China
amounts to about S50,000,000. 1t has
been the policy of the government to
preserve this trade, and by protecting
our treaty rights to increase it. Many
cotton mills have been constructed
with machinery especially adapted to
the manufacture of the goods which
the Chinese desire If the demand is
cut off the mills will close and the
operatives will be thrown out of EN-
ployment
That is why, aside from all questions
of maintaining national rights and
protecting the lives and property of
American citizens, tens of thousands
of American workingmen are interest
ed in having our government do its
share to bring back East Asia from
utter anarchy.

The Magazines.

Excellent character sketches of both
the Republican and Democratic Presi-
Dental nominees will be found in the
American Monthly Review of Reviews
for July. DR.. Charles B Spahr writes
of Mr.. Bryan and the principles that
he represents, while friend of Presi-
dent Mckinley tells of his personal
traits and the record made by his adj
ministration.
Industries for young men and women
in rural districts is the subject of an
article in the Review of Reviews for
July, by Mrs. Helen r. Albee, who
urges that the encouragement of such
industries will help to counterfeit the
shifting of population to the great
cities.

Terrible Veil of Silence.

London, July IA terrible veil of
silence enshrouds Pekin, and there is
nobody but believes the worst has
happened. 1t is taken for granted
that all the powers have exhausted
every means to get direct news from
their legations, and the fact that their
efforts have been in vain leaves but one
Interpretation. The Chinese repre-
sentative in Berlin denounces the
statement that Ii Hung Chang had
sent him hopeful telegram. He says
that, on the contrary, no direct tele-
gram has been received by him from
Lii Hung Chang for some time.

Again an Ominous Aspect.

London, July 13.-The Chinese situa-
ton again bears a most ominous
aspect. Eighteen days ago Sir Robert
Hart dispatched his last message, de-
claring that the situation was desper-
ate, and since then no word has come
from the Europeans in Pekin. Ac-
cording to a Shanghai correspondent,
Ii Hung Chang has received an i'm
perial decree ordering his immediate
departure for Pckin, presumably to
break the news of the Pekin tragedy
to the European powers and, in his
usual role of negotiator with Europe in
difficult matters, to endeavor to act as
mediator and avert the vengeance of
the powers. To add to the grimness
of this suggestion, all advices from
Tien Tsin tend to confirm the reports
of the perlous conditions of the allied
forces and belle the optimistic Chinese
rumors. Unless reinforcements speed
lily reach Tien Tsin another disaster
may be expected.

Solway, Mimi, July 1.-the blan-
ket Indians at Red Lake are in sullen
mood and trouble is feared. The gov
eminent is erecting 100000 school at
that point and the Indians seriously
object to any attempts at civilizing
them. They have refused annuities
from the government for a number Of
years, claiming that the government
has not given them their just portion
of the Indian money. White settlers
near the reservation are arming them
selves and gathering together, fearing
an attack. Arms and ammunitinn
have been sent from Solway, and call
will probably be made for troops. The
Indians are holding war dances night

Kansas City, July 14.-There was a
meeting of the executive committees
of the Shorthorn and the Hereford
national organizations to arrange for
the coming of the great pure bred cat
tie show that is to be held here next
October. There will be $50, 900 in pre-
miums given to the exhibitors, $4,000
to be given by each of the associations.
1t is the intention of these breeders
to make this the greatest pure bred
cattle meeting that has ever been held
in the United States and from the
amount of money in the premium lists,
and the deep interest that the breeders
all over the country are taking in the
sale and show, it will be a great sue
cess.

of John Fox, Jr., in Kentucky Border

tions. The Thoroughbred, Notable

hensive number.

LADIES HOME JOURNAL. A graduate
of Cornell University will tell in a
carefully detailed article in the August
Ladies Home journal, "How a Girl
Can Work Her Way Through College. :"
There are almost innumerable methods
by which girl can pay for her educa-
ton while she is studying. Colleges
and universities make most generous
provision for young women and young
men who are without money, but who
have brains and energy. So no apt,
worthy girl need be without college
education if she wants one and is de-
termined to have it. This article will
tell how it is to be obtained through
personal effort

State And National Ranks.

Topeka, July 13.-The new national
currency law has not had the effect on
Kansas banks that was predicted by
national bank examiners when it was
passed. They declared that within
six months more than fifty state and
private banks of Kansas would nation
alizc. Up to date, only six have
changed to the national system. About
30 state and national banks took steps
to nationalize but afterwards decided
stick to the old system. While the
state system has lost only six banks up
to date, it has gained fifteen by the
organization of new banks. This
makes net gain for the state system
of eight since the new currency law
took effect.

Corn Is Suffering.

Topeka, July 14.-Reports from the
corn belt of Kansas show that the
growing crop is badly in need of rain
and that, unless rain comes within a
week or so, the crop will be greatly
damaged. There have been no general
rains in the corn belt for nearly a
month and in many places the corn is
whitening and dying. The corn is just
now in a condition where rain is alb
solutely necessary. The present suf-
fering is heaviest in Brown, Jewell,
Washington, Smith and Republic
counties. These are the greatest corn
counties in the state.

county, Kas., into other states and
had appointed an officer to enforce the
order. He issued the order upon the
receipt of the news that Texas fever
had broken out in Chautauqua.

NATIONAL MAGAZINE. This leading
ten cent publication, was the very first
publication to extend welcome to
Cuban teachers, who are at Harvard,
in their own language. Joe Mitchell
Chapple, the publisher of the National,
was not unknown to the reading pub
lie nor to the press fraternity before
he commenced his present very sue
cessful enterprise; and he keeps up that
connection with old work and old
comrades in "Doings at the National
Capital" The July number excels all
of its predecessors, but any issue of it
once seen and read will create an
appetite for the National as regular
thing.

AINsLEE's MAGAZINE is a necessity to
the scholar, the antiquarian and the
general reader alike. Its articles on
the excavations in Ancient Nippur are
read and re-read and studied, and are
worthy of it. They have brought to
light the every day life of prosperous
people and of great warriors. The
Pennsylvania University has accom-
plished this work and Ainslee's will
tell you all about this, and give you
satisfaction in many other articles by
the best writer's of the day.

As Seen by an Outsider.

London, July 1.-THE annual report
of the British consul in Cuba says:
"While the first year of American rule
disappointed the Americans as well as
the Cubaus and failed to realize expec-
tations in the way of a great revival of
trade and needed public works, it is
only common justice to the United
States officials in Cuba to say that no
responsibility for the non-fulfillment
of these expectations attaches to them.
So far as their authority allowed they
have worked honestly and in good
faith in what they conceived to be the
best interests of the island. The one
thing that was not in their power to
give was the thing Cuba needed the
most-the establishment of perma-
dent form of government"
