GEO. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL
INSTITUTE.
AT The NATIONAL CAPITAL
Committee Having Matter Under
Consideration Will Report
July Q.

Chicago, June 26-The committee
of Is, of which President Harper of
Chicago university is chairman, hav-
ing under consideration the question
of whether it is advisable to have
a great national university, has COM
pleted it's work and July 8 will make
its report to the educational asso-
citation at Detroit. The report which
is quite long, announces that at one
of it's early meetings the committee
adopted the following declarations:
1T has been and is one Of the rec
ognized functions of the federal gov
eminent to encourage and aid, but
not to control the educational instru-
mentalities of the country. No one
of the bills heretofore brought be-
fore congress to provide for the in
corporation Of a national university
at Washington commends itself to
the judgment Of this committee as q
practical measure. The government
is not called upon to maintain at the
capital a university in the ordinary
sense of the term"
After discussing at length various
questions that enter into the cree
ton Of a national educational insti-
tuition, the report says:
"This committee has been advised
of a plan for a non-governmental in
%stitution at Washington which may
be able to supply all that is desired.
The plan is the outcome of action
taken by the Washington academy of
sciences and by the Geo. Washington
memorial association.
Both organizations have agreed
to cooperate to found an institution
in the city of Washington as a me-
mortal to Geo. Washington which
shall be maintained to promote ad.
vanced study of the sciences and
liberal arts. It will be Independent
of government support or control as
it will also be independent of the sup
port or control Of existing institu-
tions. It's oversight and control will
be in the hands of trustees and Of
ficers representing the educational
experience and ideals of existing in
situations for higher education

MARKED IMPROVEMENT IN
WOOL MARKET.
HOPEFUL FEELING PREVAILS
Liberal Purchases Characterize the
Buying Of Territories at
Good Figures.

Boston, June 26-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say
tomorrow:
The market continues to improve
slowly, but surely. Prices cal not
as yet be held as actually higher, ex-
cept in one or two isolated instances,
where undue depression had pre-
viously existed, but they are firmly
held, except possibly on the large
lower grades, and even on the latter
it is easier to get asking prices than
it was a couple of weeks ago. There
is a better feeling all around and
wool merchants generally are talk
ing more encouragingly and hopeful
ly. In the goods market there is a
substantial improvement.
In connection with the London
sales which open next Tuesday, it
may be stated that about 200 bales
of fine Australian have been shipped
from Boston to London recently to
be offered at the sales, presumably
because the holder believes that he
a dispose of it at better terms there
than here. In the interior high prices
continue to be paid for the new wools
and during the past week or ten
days quite liberal purchases have
been made in the territories and in
Oregon by eastern parties. Some of
the new woods bought in eastern
Oregon will cost fully As cents clean.
The sales for the week in Boston
amounted to 100000 pounds domes-
tic and 275,0O0 pounds foreign, max
ing a total of 3,375,OOO, against a
total of 1902, 900 for the previous
week and a total of $4,000 for the
corresponding week last vear. The
sales since January 1, amount to
104, $4,000 pounds, agains.. $1,000, orO
pounds for the corresponding time
last year. The receipts of wool in
Boston this week amount to 21,O15
bales, against 1862 bales last week
and 1898 bales last year.
The total receipts since January 1.
have been 22S,O22 bales domestic and
76,843 bales of foreign, against 142,-
1852 bales domestic and iJv,927. bales
foreign for the corresponding period
of 1900. This is an inc. ease of S5.-
ITO bales domestic and a decrease
of 24,0S4 bales foreign.
The shipments of wool for the
week ending June "a are as follows:
Tuesday, June Is, 1,496,06O; Wednes-
day, 255, 100; Thursday, $685.; Fri
day, 453,33O; Saturday, 552,2sO; Mon
day, 95s, 9s5. Total 4,599,33O pounds.
This shows an increase of 662, 1928
pounds over the shipments of 1885,
500 pounds for the previous week.
Since January 1 the total shipments
amount to III, 952, 745 pounds.

ALL ON BOARD SAVED
Lusitania Strikes Rocks
Off Newfoundland and Is
Wrecked.

st. Johns, N. F., June 26-The
Orient Steamer Navigation com
pany's steamer Lusitania, from Liv-
erpool for Montreal, with 500 passen.
gers, was wrecked last night of Cape
Ballard. A dispatch from Cape Race
says the vessel was ashore at Zala
cove and that the passengers are all
safe.
All sorts of rumors are current
along the coast as to the details of
the wreck. The entire coast popula-
ton is repairing to the scene in the
hope of salvaging the Lusitania's
cargo. No direct statements from
those who were on board as to what
occurred on the wrecked steamer
have as yet reached st. Johns. The
steamer Glencoe, bringing the Lusi-
tania's passengers, is due here to-
night.
The messenger who brought the
news Of the wreck to st. Johns says
the passengers on board the Lusi-
tania drew their knives to cut the
boat lashings and threatened the
crew if any Of the latter attempted
to interfere with them in SO doing.
The last message to the agents of
the Lusitania here says the vessel
is hard and firm aground on the reef
and hopelessly wrecked. Her engine
room is full of holes and flooded. Her
hold is also flooded. The ship is list
ed heavily to port and waves are
washing in and out Of her forward
and aft holds. All the decks are un-
der water. A strong northeast wind
is blowing and tumbling a heavy sea,
which will soon dismantle the ship.
The Lusitanias passengers, who
embarked for st. Johns on the steam
er Glencoe, are due here tonight.
The steamer Glencoe arrived here
at midnight bringing six first, Is
second and 436 steerage passengers
and SO of the crew of the Lusitania.
Captain McNay and the chief officers
of the ship remain with the wreck.
The passengers are almost entirely
Russian and Polish Jews. The steam
er struck at 1880 yesterday morning
during a dense fog. Captain McNay
had to force the vessel upon the reef,
for if he had reversed the engines
the whole ships bottom would have
been torn out and she would have
sunk instantly.
The panic among the passengers
was intense. Details of what occur
red on board have been previously
cabled. The drawing Of knives by
passengers was not general; it oc-
Cured in isolated instances only.
Three hours elapsed between the
time when the Lusitania struck and
the time when passengers started to
disembark. This delay was occasion
ed by the difficulty in controlling the
passengers and handling the boats.
All the passengers and crew agree
that if the Lusitania had struck the
rocks in rougher weather all on
board would have been drowned.

Boston Wool Market,

Boston, June 25-The conditions in
the wool market have not varied dur
ing the past week. Manufactures are
only buying what the need to fill OUT
any grade of which they happen to
be short. There is an absence of
speculative feeling. Nevertheless,
this hand to mouth trading makes
fair business, but this is not enough
activity to bring about any advance
in prices.
Territory woods continue to lead
the list of sales with fine medium and

HAVOC BY A STORM.
Much Damage Reported from Pitts
bursh and Vicinity Boy
Killed by Lightning.

Pittsburgh, Pa, June IA terrific
electrical storm, accompanied by a
high wind and heavy rain, passed over
this section Tuesday evening, doing
much damage to property and caus-
ing at least one death. When the
storm reached Homestead, Francis
Morris, aged II years, and his sister
Minnie, aged ID years, were in the
yard of their uncle's home on Seven
teenth avenue. The house was struck
by lightning and the current took it's
course along wire clothesline reach
ing from the house to fence so feet
distant, where young Morris was
standing. The boy was instantly
killed and his sister badly shocked
and hurt by falling brick. The same
bolt struck three other houses in the
vicinity, SCATTERING them, but result
ing in no other fatalities. At Nc
Keesport the Baptist mission, frame
building, was blown from its founda-
tions into the street and had to be
torn to pieces to clear the thorough
fare. At East Pittsburgh the Penn
sylvania and Baltimore railroad
tracks were completely submerged by
what seemed to be a cloudburst, and
trains were delayed several hours. A
great deal of minor damage was done,
aggrega ting several thousands of dol
lars.

he same time. Echols' bullet struck
Payne and at the same instan Perkins
shot and killed Echols. Dave Echols
opened fire on Perkins and Young
Payne. Two bullets struck Perkins.
and wound in the groin will probably
prove fatal. Perkins wounded Dave
Echols in the arm. and amputation
will be necessary. The younger Payne
was not hurt. The street was crowded
at the time of the shooting. but no one
save those directly involved were hurt.
Every bullet fired struck the mark

TOTAL NOT YET AGREED UPON.
Effort of MIR. Rockhill to Have The
Hague Tribunal Adjust This
Matter Also,

Washington, June 13.-Mr. Rockhill's
proposition to submit the indemnity
question to The Hague tribunal, it is
now learned, carries with it the adjust
ment of the total of the indemnity.
Through a misunderstanding, which
perhaps was purposely created by some
of the powers, the sum of 100000, 900
taels was supposed to have been finally
agreed upon by all the powers as the
total of indemnity to be demanded
from China. AS a matter of fact there
is nothing official to show that the
powers, or indeed majority of them,
actually made this matter of formal
agreement. 1t is true that China I'M
lertooktopay an indemnity of $50, 0OO,-
100 taels, but it is equally true that this
undertaking, doubtless based upon the
misunderstanding above referred to,
vas ~ least in advance of a formal
agreement among the ministers them
selves.
Hence, MIR. Rockhill's proposition to
include the total of the indemnity in
he matters to be submitted to The
lagnc arbitration. European criti-
'isms, based upon the idea that Mr..
Rockhill's proposition as to arbitra-
lion concerns only the method of pay
nent are therefore founded in error.
The hope that the arbitration plan will
prevail is based upon the belief that
10 other scheme SO far brought for
ward is sufficient.

SLAIN BY ROBBERS.
Wealthy Mexican Mine Manager, a
Waterman and II Servant
Are Killed.

Mexico City, June 12.-Robert Rem
met, 81 years old, an Englishman, and
manager of the Coronos Distas Mine
company, was shot by robbers at his
mine Monday night. There was des-
perate encounter with the Waterman
and a servant, and both were hacked
to death with machetes. The robbers
then encountered Remmett and shot
him through the heart. Then,
entering his house, they ill-treated his
wife and obliged her to disclose where
her iewelry and money were kept.
Remmett came here from London IL
years ago as manager of the Mexican
company, of London. His tragic death
arouses much sympathy. He and his
wife were about leaving Mexico for
England on. pleasure trip, and it is
supposed the robbers calculated they
would have a large amount of money
in their hands
