New York, June 2. - The conflicting
interests in the Northern Pacific rail-
road have reached a final amicable
agreement upon all matters of disa-
greement and their future relations to
the property. There has been no an
nouncement of the terms of the new
pact, which ends the most remarkable
financial battle in the record of Wall
street, and none of the details have
been made public. Late yesterday af-
ternoOn the following statement went
out on the ticker:
1T is officially announced that an
understanding has been reached be-
tween Northern Pacific and Union Pa
cific interests under which the compo-
sition of the Northern Pacific board
will be left in the hands of j. P. Nor
gan, certain names having already
been suggested which will especially be
recommended as representative Of the
common interests. 1t is asserted that
complete and permanent harmony will
result under the plan adopted between
all interests involved"
When the statement was shown to
Louis A. Heinsheimer, of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., he said:
1.-The statement is authentic. We
cannot go into particulars as to the
settlement or give you any details at
this time. All that we can say is that

ferences that existed and the matter is

President Will Not Again Expose
Him to Insult i'm Venezuela.
Washington, June 2.-It is officially
admitted that Minister Loomis will not
return to Venezuela. There are two
reasons for this decision. In the first
place Mr.. Loomis has suffered in
health at his uncongenial post. and in
the second place the president is not
disposed to expose him again to the
mercless attacks he has suffered in
Venezuela as a result of the execution
of the orders of the stote department.
Mr. Loomis. who is now in Europe
seeking to recuperate, will be given an
other diplomatic position as soon as a
suitable place can be found Mean
while Mr.. Russell will remain in charge
of the United States legation at Car
acas for a period of time not yet de-
termined upon but likely to be fixed by
the attitude Of the Venezuelan govern
ment.

American public schools and educa-
tional methods are going to the ends
of the earth. Cuba, Porto Rico, Ha-
waii, and now the Philippines, are
making the acquaintance of American
teachers; and that they are good
teachers is plainly indicated by the
care with which the war department,
through the civil service commission,
is selecting them. Applications for
positions are pouring in at the rate of
twenty-five a day. Only those are
chosen who are graduates of either a
college or normal school, have had
several years experience in teaching
and now hold positions, and can offer
conclusive proof of success in their
work.
