WORK AT A sTANDsTILL
LACKo OF FUNDssToPs CoNsTRUC.
TON OF NEW HIGH SCHOOL.

Workmen are engaged in boarding
up the basement OF the new High
School Building, on Delaware avenue,
and it is not known when work on the
structure will be resumed. The Board
of Education has made efforts to Sc
cure the necessary funds to complete
the building, but so far has failed,
though it yet hopes to obtain the re-
quired money and go on with the
work.
The reason the work has stopped, it
is alleged, is because the banks of the
city have so far declined 30 advance
the necessary money to finish the
structure.

The Pittsbure Miners Conference.

Pittsburg, April 20.-The conference
between the miners committee and Of
ficials of the coal combines adjourned
last night for one week without having
reached an agreement on the outside
day work scale. National President
Mitchell, of the miners association,
contended that it was tacitly under
stood at the Indianapolis convention
that all outside labor should receive
an advance of 20 per cent. He inform
ed the operators that in all other dis
tricts the 20 per cent was being paid.
The operators denied that they had un-
derstood the outside men we're to re-
cetve a 20 per cent advance. II is be-
lieved the miners will continue at work
until the result Of the adjourned con-
ference is known.

MAY DROP Gates
and TAKE FRIGK
Executive Head of Steel Trust
Likely to Be DepOsed, Wall
Street Says.
RUMoR NOT YET CONFIRMED
CARNEGIE, FRIcK, SELIGMAN
AND MOORE SYNDICATE SAID
TO HAVE OBTAINED CONTROL OF
BIG AGGREGATION OF PLANTS.

New York, April 20.-The Herald
says: Wall street is full Of rumors to
the effect that John w. Gates Is to be
deposed as the executive head of the
American Steel and Wire company.
These stories, which have been in cir
culation for some time, assumed tan
gible form yesterday when it was said
that a syndicate, headed by Andrew
Carnegie, Henry c. Frick and the
Seligman interests and the Moore
Brothers has obtained control Of the
company and will put Mr.. Frick in
Mr.. Gates place.
Although this story met many de-
malls and absolutely no confirmation It
received much respectful consideration
and had more or less to do with the
strength which steel and wire and
other steel stocks showed during the
greater part of the day.
Nothing can be learned of the plans
OF this anti-Gates movement, and 1t is
impossible to get any confirmation, or
even foundation, for the story that he
is to lose control of the company.
President John Lambert is expected
in Wall street today, and it is said
that during the next "a hours there
will be important conferences, from
which Mr.. Gates will be excluded, al
though he will be the topic discussed.
Wall street hopes that at the meeting
to be held today the steel and wire di-
rectors will order the reopening of the
plants recently shut down.
Many of the stories regarding steel
and wire that have been circulated so
freely of late met denials yesterday.
President Rudolph Keppler, of the
Stock Exchange, declared that there
is absolutely no truth in the report
that the company's shares are to be
dropped from the exchanges trading
list. He said that the exchange has
received no complaint whatever of Mr..
Gates or of the steel and wire stocks.
The report that the next sseel and
wire dividends will be paid in scrip,
If at all, was neither confirmed nor de-
MED.
Chairman Gates was not at his Office
during the day, it being said that he
was at the Westchester County club
At the Office of Seligman & Co. none
OF the rumors concerning steel and
wire affairs would be discussed.

RennhIicnn. wIn bod.

Nashville. Tenn. April 20.-The
state Republican convention met here
yesterday. perfected a temporary or
ganization with Congressman Henry
Gibson in the chair, listened to some
oratory. and adjourned to today. The
committee on credentials is flooded
with contests. and the delay is on this
account. It is predicted that when this
report is submitted the expected storm
will break. There is a feeling among
the Evans faction that the Brownlow
wing, which controls the credentials
committee by a vote of z to 3, will
seat all of the Brownlow delegates in
sight. This will bring a bolt and two
sets of delegates to the national con-
vention and two Republican state
tickets

CUBANS NOT ILLITERATE
CENSUS SUPPLIES MANY PLEAS
ING SURPRISES
OFFICIALS SAY MUNICIPAL SUF-
FRAGE IN CUBA AT THIS EARLY
STAGE is JUSTIFIED BY FIG
URES OBTAINED.

Washington. April 20.--Gen Sanger
yesterday made public the compendious
results of the Cuban census taken un-
der his direction. The figures are very
instructive, and in the opinion of the
war department officials fully justify
the decision of the administration to
allow municipal suffrage in Cuba AZ
this early stage. The officials are
gratifled to find that the native Gu
bans constitute so large a portion Of
the population. that the whites so
greatly outnumb.s tho blacks. and that
SC large prcpoi > n of the native pop
ulation can Ic sad write. in their
opinion there seems to be no room for
the objection that the proposed basis
OF suffrage would result in turning the
island over to the control OF Spain.
The total population of Cuba is L.
572, ,797, including 815,205 males and
757, ,592 females. There are 4f7. .372
white males and 1925 white females
of native birth. The foreign whites
number 1851 males and 26 45S fe-
males. There are III 1898 male negroes
and 122 .740 female negroes. The mix
ed races numLer 1875, 500 males and
145.3 .305 females. There are 1854 male
