GOVERNMENT MAY AID.
Desired That 1t Help Education in
the South

Capon Springs, w. V, June 29.-At the
closing session OF the Educational Confer
ence Herbert Welsh of Philadelphia pre-
sented a resolution fsvoring extending
government aid 10 industrial education in
the South among both races in co-opsra-
ton with work now done by the states
and private benevolence. Many prominent
educators favored the proposition on the
ground that the general government owed
an especial duty to the colored people of
the South, and that the task was too
great for the instrumentalties now en-
ployed. Hon. W. L. Wilson opposed the
proposition, partly on constitutional
grounds.
The subject was refererd to the EXecu-
tive Committee to report at the next con-
ference. An important measure adopted
by the conference was the naming of the
committee to whom the public may ap-
peal for Information in regard TO the
worthiness of schools asking aid. The
committee consists of Hon. J, l. NJ. Curry,
Washington, D. c.; Rev. G. H. Dicker
man, New Haven, Conn.,. R. Fulton Cut
ting, New York.
Rev. Mr.. Dickerman was asked to con-
tinue his work as field agent OF the con-
ference for another year. and will further.

DECISION FOREGONE.
Port Royal VIII he Abandoned as n
Naval station.

Washington, June 29.-The board of ma
val officers, of which Admiral Rogers is
president, appointed under the terms of
the last naval appropriation act to con-
slider the propriety of transferring the ma
val station at Port Royal, S, c., to
Charleston, is 10 meet in few days, the
exact time to be specifically set by the
President. at the navy department.
Although the naval appropriation act
leaves it discretionary with the board TO
remove the station at Port Royal, it may
be stated that the decision on that point
is foregone, the lack of facilities at Port
Royal and the dangers from high water
at that point having already determined
the navy department upon its abandon
ment as a naval station.

HE is DOWN ON HILL.
Williams Says He Doesn't Like the
New Workers. Attitude.

Kansas City. June 29.-George Fred
Williams, member of the National Com
mittee and delegate to the Democratic
Convention from Massac husctts, arrived
in Kansas City to-day. Mr.. Williams has
been among those mentioned as a possible
vice presidential candidate, but he says
that having pronounced views and not
being afraid to express them makes it i'm
possible for him to be considered in this
convention. He is by far the most breezy
and unreserved man VINO has yet appear
ed here, and he talks on every phase of
the situation without, however, commit
ting himself or the New England dele
gates upon the vice presidential situation,
save to say that he believes that Towne
would be the strongest man that could be
named with Bryan.
Mr. williams talked about ex-senator
Hill in manner to Indicate his entire dis
appreciation of that gentleman.
What is Hill coming here for?" He
asked, and answered this query: For
the sole avowed purpose OF trying 40 Sc
cure a modification Of the platform Of
1896. He ought to be here in sackcloth
and ashes, instead of trying to tell us
what we should do. New York, with Hill
as her leader, remained silent in the Chi
cago Convention. after che majority had
declared its will on the platform. Now
he comes here to say. I will help you
II you do as I say. II we win he will
say. 4 helped you II we lose. he Will
saw, 4 told you what to do. and you
see the result don't like that attitude.
Croker and Murphy come here in DIFF
ferent spirit. willing to take the plat
form that is made and abide by the re-
sult IL Is likely that Hill will not be 50
prominent when Croker and Murphy take
charge"
Mr.. williams Is one Of the men who Is
determined 10 work for specific declara-
ton for the ratio OF IS to in the platform.
He says that there must be no deviation
from that declaration
',If we were right In 1926 why should we
change now?" he said. ITO simply re-
affirm the Chicago platform Ia not suffi-
ci9nt. Nor would Il be enough to declare
for blmetallisin. Every man could de-
clare himself bimetalhst and place the
ratio at % to or 50 to /, to suit his own
Adeas, all of which would mean nothing.

The Silver Republicans would like to
name Towne for Vice President, but if

OFFICIALS KNOW TERMS.
Believed, Though, That All the Con-
suIs Did Not Agree.


washington, June 29.-The state de-
partment also has been made acquainted
with the terms of the agreement between
the consuls and the viceroys looking to the
protection of foreign interests in the
southern provinces in China. The first
step to this end was indicated in Secre-
tary Hays cablegrem of last Wednesday
to the American consuls in China, author
jzing them 10 take direct action instead
of waiting on possible communication with
Minister Conger.
Thus authorized, Consul General Good
now at Shanghai and probably several oth-
ers in the South began negotiations with
the viceroys and tao tais of their respec-
tive districts. The outcome was the nine
articles of agreement. The text is with
held here from publication, but 1t is un-
derstood that its general purpose is to
make neutral the Chinese treaty ports at
Nankin and Hankow The neutrallzatlon
would involve the withdrawal of foreign
men of war from the treaty ports and also
of any foreign troops or sailors, leaving
to the Chinese authorities and the resi-
dents Of Shanghai and the other ports the
preservation of order.
The agreement came before the cabinet
today and failed of ratifica ton in the
belief that the foreign consuls, as body,
never entered into the agreement In ad-
ditiou to the subjects above mentioned as
forming part of this agreement, t ap-
pears that the consuls bound themselves
to acquit the Chinese government of any
responsibility for rioting, murder and pis-
laee in the treaty ports If any foreign
warship should enter such ports In VIOLA
ton of the agreement.
The whole reputed agreement bore the
appearance of a rough memorandum
which the cabinet concluded could have
never received the assent OF all the for
elgn consuIs So the matter was dropped.

Corn has been steady. holding its own
in spite of the wheat decline and at times
during the session showing slight ad-

higher. Small offerings were the feature.
There were liberal receipts, 656 cars, but

THE SUGAR RAID ENQUIRY.
Indictments of importance Expected
From the Grand Jury.

NEW YORK, Feb. ga great deal Of
attention has been given in Wall Street
TO the proceedings OF the special grand
jury now in session, which is investigat-
ing the attacks that were made on Brook
lyn Rapid Transit last fall and this win
ter, and there was a rumor in the street
today 10 the effect that the grand jury
would return a number of indictments,
among which would be half a dozen Of i'm
portance.
The grand jury has been in session since
February l. The report current down
town is that the jury has fixed on GER
tain firm of brokers as the agents for the
men who were operating to force down
the price Of the stock. The brokers, being
summoned to enlighten the jury as to the
part they took in the transactions, de-
MED absolutely that they had made the
transactions in question. Their denial did
not satisfy the jury, it was said, and in
order to bring the matter entirely before
ii the brokers were ordered to appear with
their books for the last quarter Of 1898.
In response to this summons, one OF
the members of the firm appeared before
the jury without any books, and said that
it would be impossible to obey the sum
mons because on January ! Of this year
his firm had opened a complete new set
OF books and after making the necessary
tTanscriptions, had burned the old set de-
stroying the records of all transactions
previous to December 81.
