To the Trustees of the Tuskegee Nor
NAL and Industrial Institute:
Gentlemen: During the present:
school year 1853 students have been
ID attendance, and the average daily
attendance has been /, 010. About one
third have been young women and the
remainder young men. The average
age has been Is V, and none have been
admitted under IA years of age, and
unless they have had some academic
preparation. The students have come
to us from 20 states and territories,
and from 6 foreign countries, including
IA from Cuba and Porto Rico.
ATTENDANCE
Aside from the students Just named,
who are in the regular industrial, acad-
emic and religious departments, there
are 60 in the training school, n hich is
taught upon the school grounds and

aiming to secure the most promising
students from a wide section of terri
tory and to so train them that they
will return to their homes and give
their communities the benefit of their
training.
p AS fact as possible we are encourag-
ing our graduates and others to intro
luce training in agriculture into the
public schools Of the South This we
think very important for the schools
located in the small towns and rural
districts.
In this industrial training, we keep
specially in mind the emphasizing of
those industries at which the students
can find immediate employment as
soon as they leave us.
M GROWTH AND EXPANSION OF
III WORK. IS
The experiment which we began try
ing some; two years ago of giving
training to a portion of our, young
women in, such outdoor industries as
gardenin g, horticulture, dairying, bee
raising and poultry raising, is proving
quite successful. This is especially
true Of poultry raising. Several of the
new agricultural buildings mentioned
ia my. last report have been completed
All of these were buildings greatly
needed. Among them hennery This
new building gives US the opportunity
of teaching the raising of all kinds Of
fowls in the best manner. The same
friends whose gift made it possible for
Us TO erect the hennery,. also enabled
us to build a new barn for the dairy
cows and a new dairy house All

opposite Gibraltar, and the strait between
them is not fifteen miles wide. When it
IS considered that an eight finch gun is
now building in the United States under
new system by which it is expected to
attain a range of more than twenty-one
miles it will be seen that Ceuta is not q
place to be viewed with unconcern by the
British. II
For so many centuries the great fort
ress had been practically ont of effective
gun range that even experts who have
kept wide awake to the leaps that ord
nance has made in point of etishieved
range have forgotten that the improve
ments in cannon were menacing Great
Brlta1n boast. In past days the smooth
bore guns, even when they could fire lar
enough, did not have: enough 5penetrative
power to do serious harm to the hard
limestone face of the precipice So,
despite the fact that modern military
engineering abandoned stone work in
ordinary Notifications long ago, Great
Britain's soldiers continued to regard the
s:one-faced batteries and emplacements
Of the rock as being amply strong enough
to Withstand attack. But now, with the
realization that they can all be reached
by four, six and eight inch guns, not to
mention ten and twelve inch, or monsters
like the sixteen-inch gun recently COM
pleted by the United States government
comes the realization that limestone is al
sorry material for shelter for either men
or guns If a modern projectile struck
these stone enplacements it would be a.
question as to whether the %projectile it
,, self or the smashed and flying stone
would do the more harm Men and can
non actually would be safer in open
ground. generally speaking, than they
would be behind stone. And with ex-
plosive shells the destruction would be
terrific.
The fact Is that, perhaps unconsciously
the English have rested too confidently
on the wonderful bombardment, ,1npar-
alleled in history, THAI continued unirl-s
terruptedly, incessant1y for. three weeks
in 1881, during which time fire was rained
at Gibraltar from eighty mortars and 200
pieces of cannon mounted on land. di-

France, who were allied in the attack

The batteries Of Gibraltar arc separated

FARM PAYS FOR LlFE-SAvlNG.
An Indiana Man Forced to Pay Pc
culiar Reward.

An Indiana Man Forced to Pay a Pc
culiar Reward.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Highley, who live
not far from Wabash, Ind, have recent
ly lost their farm through a peculiar
cause. In January, 1900, Marion Ruth
erford and William Miller were driving
along the bank of a swollen creek near
Mier, when they were attracted by cries
for help proceeding from the stream. A
moment later Highley rushed up to them
and said his wife, in a buggy, was out in
the creek and would drown unless quick
~ rescued. They had started to drive
through, when they discovered that the
water in midstream would surely drown
them and so they stopped the horses.
Highley had made his way ashore, but
was unable to save her
"I'll give you $1,000 if you save her,"
he said to the men and Rutherford and
Miller, at the peril of their lives, rushed
in and brought the woman to shore Sub
sequently they called on Highley to make
good his promise, but he refused and
assigned his farm to his wife. Suit was
then brought against him and judgment
was rendered for the full amount in ia
vor Of the men. To settle the suit the
property has been sold. After the mort
gage of $455 was paid, $2,44S was turned
over to Mrs. Highley, from which she
settled the cost and Rutherford and Mil
Ter received $450-on which sum they
compromised some time ago.

The blizzard extended from the upper
lake region on the north, almost to the
gulf on the south, and Indiana on the
east, to Wyoming on the west. Trains
have been delayed through the entire
Northwest Great damage was done to
the sheep and cattle interests of Wyom-
ing, Dakotas, Colorado. Great distress
is reported among the sheep herders of
the Red desert country in Wyoming. Col
orado is buried in snow The tempera-
ture at Gunnison touched p degrees.
Heavy drifts are reported in the noun
tains and loss of life and great destruc-
ton of stock is expected. The thermome-
ter touched ten degrees below at Sioux
City and other points. North Dakota
and Minnesota caught the full force of
the cold wave At one point in North
Dakota it was reported to be 80 degrees
below zero. Tracy, Mimi, froze up
solid, the thermometer reaching % de-
grees below.
Kansas is bit happier, because the
situation in the western part of the State
for stockmen is greatly improved, but
wheat in central Kansas is damaged be-
cause Of the absence of snow. A loud
wall comes from Austin, Texas, where il
appears considerable damage has been
wrought. The dispatch says that cattle
on the ranges were not in condition to
endure the frigid spell, and that calves
have been lost in that region From
Galveston it is stated that the planters
are suffering and their loss is great.

FLOODS WREAK RUIN.

Swollen Rivers Overwhe1m in Three
States-Cities Submerged.
Rain, wind and melting snow wrought
untold damage within twenty-four hours
throughout the States of New York and
Pennsylvania and portions of West Vir-
ginia. Rivers and creeks rose far above
their banks and sent their rushing floods
into homes and business houses, washed
out railway tracks and tore scores of rail-
road bridges from their foundations.
Trains were stalled in consequence and
traffic paralyzed. Hundreds of persons
were forced to flee from their homes to
save their lives.
Warm weather and heavy rains Satur-
day were followed at night by terrific
gales and more excessive rains. In New
York City the wind blew at the rate of
forty-eight miles an hour.
Reports from every city and town in
the State tell of ruin by flood. Landslides
were frequent and on the Lehgh Valley
Railroad alone twenty bridges were
washed out in the vicinity of Auburn.
Many dams burst.
Ithaca reports the most serious damage
by food since 1857. The damage done
there amounts to $500,O00 The rain
turned the nearby creeks INTO torrents
and at midnight the flood was poured
upon the city. One dwelling house was
swept away. The power and lighting
plant was washed out and two trolley
cars were swallowed up in the flood.
Lumber yards and buildings suffered i'm
mensely and the wreckagc, blocking the
channel of Six Mile creek, turned the
stream from it's course and the whole
lower part of the city was flooded
Much damage was done throughout
northern New York by the extremely high
wind which prevailed for twenty-four
hours, reaching the velocity of a tornado.
The warm weather Saturday sent the
snow out of the Adrondacks like magic
and many houses on the lower levels are
flooded. At Middletown large landslidcs
occurred on the Erie Railroad. In col
lision between two trains one man was
killed and several in ured,

STATE TAX ON VESSELS.
Amounts Collected Tn Ter New Law
One Half Returned to Counties.

Amounts Collected Under New Law
Onc-Half Returned to Counties.
The State Treasurer has certified to the
Secretary of State that the total amount
Of vessel taxes paid this year by owners
of craft registered at Wisconsin ports
was $1,3S7.96. or this sum one-half, or
$G93.9S, has been returned to the various
counties where the taxed vessels are reg
istcred.
The Legislature last winter passed a
law assessing vessels 3 cents per net
ton Of their registered tonnage. The old
law allowing registry ports to tax vessels
as other personal property was taxed
was repealed. This old law drove nearly
all of the Wisconsin boats to other
States, where the taxation laws were
more favorable to vessel owners. AS
result the revenue from vessel taxation
last year was very small. The new law
was passed upon the recommendation of
a joint legislative committee, which con
ferred with Minnesota and Michigan au-
thorities regarding vessel taxation in
those States.
The amount received from the various
counties and the amounts to be returned,
as certified by the State Treasurer, are
as follows:

SIGNALS ACROSS SEAS.
Morconi Achieves Feat of Trasat1ant

Marconi Achieves Feat of Trasat1autic
Communication Without Wires.
Mr.. Marconi has accomplished the feat
of sending electrical signals across the
Atlantic without wires. Telegraphic
characters transmitted from the station
recently erected at Poldhu, near the Liz
ard, in Cornwall, England, have been re-
ceived at st. Johns, n. f., after having
covered distance of ZOO miles.
The signals from across the sea, Mr..
Marconi says, were received on Wednes-
day and Thursday afternoons. He had
arranged with the Cornwall station that
the letter 49, should be signaled at u
o'clock in the evening, which would be
2:3O o'clock at St Johns, and the signals
were received as arranged. They were
received by means of kite elevated with
an aerial wire. The signals were repeat
ed so frequently and according to the de-
tailed plan arranged to provide safe
guards against possibility OF a mistake
that Mr.. Marconi is satisfied that it was
. genuine transmission from England.

Eight persons were killed and eleven
injured in Il frightful collision on the lii
nois Central Railroad near Perryville.
ILL., Fire broke out almost instantly and
consumed the wreckage SO soon that res
cue of victims was impossible, the injured
who escaped being roasted to death and
more fortunate survivors suffered from
exposure to the weather. The tempera-
ture was 20 degrees below zero, with an
icy wind blowing, and all hats aud wraps
had been lost in the wreck.
The two trains which colli6ed were the
regular Omaha train No. and through
freight train coming from Chicago. The
passenger consisted of a baggage and eX-
press car, a smoker coach, parlor car and
dining car. 1t was running at high speed
being over three hours late on account OF
cold weather. The freight was also run
ming at high speed in an effort to reach
Rockford and the two trains came to-
gether without warning, there being
slight curve at that place. 4:
The trains met in slight bend in the
track and the crash of the engines was
terrific. The roof Of one car was hurled

Only three of the halfdoZen in that car
escaped. The others, if not instantly
killed, were roasted to death and their
bodies, along with those of the engine
crews, were entirely consumed.
All efforts Of the survivors to reach the
victims were unavailing. The flames
drove them back at every point. BY the
united efforts of the survivors the way
car was pushed back from the wreckage
to escape the flames and the wounded
were placed on the hunks inside.
Two hours elapsed before any relief
was at hand. Then an engine arrived
from the east and pulled the way car to
Irene, three miles distant, where the in
jured were given medical attention.
