SUCCESSOR TO
 ADELDERT HAY
The President Will Name Grant Gillespie of Missouri as
 Consul to Pretoria.

New York, June 26.-A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says:
 Tt is probable that the consul general ship at Pretoria, which has been vacant since the return to this country of Adel- bert s. Hay, who was killed at New Ha- ven on Sunday morning, will be soon fill- ed by the appointment of Grant Gillespie of Missouri. The Missouri Republicans have indorsed Gillespie for the post and the State Department is only awaiting his acceptance before announcing his selec- tion.
 MT. Gillespie was in Washington a few days ago and the place was offered to him. He hesitated to accept because of the experience of Adelbert s. Hay, which showed that the salary of the post 5000, was not enough to support the incumb ent. He has been assured that Congress will increase the pay, and 1t is thought that on this assurance he will accept 1t and qualify at an early date, so as to hurry to the Transvaal capital and look after the long neglected interests there.
 MT. Gillespie has had quite a notable career in the volunteer army in the last three years. He was a first lieutenant in the Sixth Missouri regiment, commanded by Capt. L. H. Hardeman, of the Tenth United States Cavalry, In the war with Spain, and served creditaby with that regiment on garrison duty in Cuba for six months When the volunteers for serv ice in the Philippines were formed Giles pie was commissioned first lieutenant in the Twenty-first United States Volun- teers
 AS soon as his regiment arrived at Ma nila. Lieutenant Gillespie was detached from it and placed in command of a com pany of Macabee scouts He distinguish ed himself in this service and was bre- voted twice for gallantry. He commanded General Funston's scouts for about a year.
 For the last six months of his service in the Philippines he was assistant chief of police of Manila under Captain Wilder, of the Sixth United States Cavalry, and when his regiment was ordered home to be mustered out General Macarthur re- quested him to remain and accept the place of chief of police of Manila. If MT. Gillespie goes to the post of consul gen eral at Pretoria it will be with the under standing that the salary will be increased to $4OO0.

suftocated and several injured as the
result of fire which destroyed a
temporary waterworks crib two miles
OF the Cleveland harbor early yester-
day Twenty-six men obeyed the or
der of Manager G. C. VanDeusen when
the flames broke out and took refuge
An the water on floating pieces of
wreckage. Four of them lost their
hold upon their frail floats and sank
beneath the waves just as help
reached their comrades.
The crew of the tug j. r. Sprenkle
heard the fire whistle blown from the
crib and raced to the scene from the
harbor. She picked up 10 of the sur
vlvors who had drifted to the west of
the crib on their floats of boards and
wreckage. VanDeusen and three of
his men were hanging in the water
from two-inch line suspended from
the crib. just as the line was burn
ing away above the mems heads
yawl boat from the barge Wilhelm,
manned by two men, dashed into the
veil of heat and smoke that enveloped
the crib and rescued the four men on
the rope at the risk of the boatmen's
lives. The men picked up in the
water were brought to the city on the
tug Sprenkle. They were naked, ex-
hausted and badly burned. Many OF
them were cut by falling timbers.

WILL WELCOME THEM
School Teachers En- Route to Manila
to Get a Cordial Reception.
The Spanish Exposition Building VIII Be-
come Temporary Educational Colony
Ten Thousand Dollars to Be Spent
in Their Entertainment.

Manila, Aug. 14.-Superintenden of
Schools Atkinson is preparing a splen-
did reception for the 600 American
school teachers who are expected to
arrive here within a week from San
Francisco. When tn transport arrives
Is launches will convey the teachers
to the Luneta landing. Then they
will be driven to the Spanish exposi-
ton building, which viii become IA
temporary educational colony. The
teachers will get their board for 81 a
day. The buildings have been COM
pletely furnished by the army with
cots, chairs, etc, which have been
loaned by the quartermaster's depart
ment. The report of the health Off
GERS for the past month show that
the death rate was the lowest since
the American occupation.
The arrangements for the comfort
of the newcomers are complete in
every detail. They include contracts
with tailors and laundrymen, and the
teachers will be furnished with book
lets containing information in regard
to the islands. The department will
spend $4,000 in taking care of the
teachers, and has arranged with the
railroad and the steamship people for
half rates. 1t is expected that the
teachers will be distributed in the
provinces within a fortnight. Four
hundred and fifty have already been
assigned to posts, but the rains may
prevent many from reaching their sta
tiOns for some time.
Gov. Taft, in the immediate future,
will reduce the police force of Manila
by one-half. At present there are
1900 policemen for the city, whose
population numbers only 100000 souls.
The governor considers it unnecessary
to have over 600 policemen, as they
are not required for military purposes.

WILL TEST THE LAW.
Oklahoma COnvIcts in the Kansas Prison Do
Not Think They Can Be Legally Sent
Out of the Territory.

Lansing, Kan, Aug. 13.-The $40 Ok
lahoma prisoners now in the Kansas
penitentiary are contributing funds to
hire a lawyer to attack the law which
sends them outside the territory to
serve their sentences. The movement
is being pushed principally by Clyde
Mattox, the noted Oklahoma bandit
now serving a 12-year sentence for
killing a man. If the law is knocked
out, all the convicts will be sent back
to the jails where they were convicted,
as Oklahoma has no penitentiary.
The Oklahoma jails are poorly con-
structed and escape in many instances
would be comparatively easy. At the
prison chapel exercise Sunday morn
ing Warden Jewett gave the convicts
permission to contribute to the fund
to make the contest, but gave it as
his opinion that the courts would not
disturb the present methods.

WERE GATHERED IN.
Men Who Robbed a ssKaty" Train
Run Down by BlOodhounds.
Bandits Did Their Work LeIsureIy, LoOting
the Express Safes and Relieving Passen-
gers of Vsluables-In q Few Hours
They We're Locked Up.

Denison, Tex, Aug. Missouri,
Kansas & Texas passenger train No.
3, southbOund, was held up and robbed
at Caney switch, I. T., yesterday
morning at 1870 o'clock by two men
who got on the train at Atoka. When
two miles north of Caney they crawled
over the tender with pistols in hand,
covered the engineer and fireman and
commanded them to stop at Caney
water tank. There the men were
Joined by three others, and at this
juncture fusillade of shots alarmed
the crew and passengers. Postal
Clerk Tulley was compelled to go
through the train, carrying the sack
in which the valuables were thrown.
Every passenger was robbed and a ne
gro who refused to give up his money
was beaten nearly to death.
Then the robbers turned their at
tention to the express car. Both
safes were blown open with dynamite
and their contents secured. The
amounts are not yet known, although
the robbers got some valuable jewels.
They gave diamond ring and shirt
stud to Engineer .Lanham.
After the work was done the rob-
bers, who seemed to enjoy the situa-
ton, sat around and laughed over the
matter. The whole affair was carried
out without hitch, and it is believed
the men have had experience in this
line of business before.
]. B. Davis, deputy marshal of Col
bert, I. T., arrived here last night
from the scene of the robbery at
Caney. 'The following men have
been arrested on the charge of hav-
ing committed the robbery" said Mr..
Davis, ''E. C. Richmond, Bob Afford,
George Brown, John Gibson, Tom Ed
wards and Jack Barr. These men
were arrested at Caney and taken to
Atoka yesterday morning. The oper-
ator at Caney, when he heard the
shooting, suspected the train was be-
ing held up and put out the light in
the depot and telegraphed to Atoka,
ii miles away, for officers. Within
two hours after the robbery was COM
mitted bloodhounds had trailed these
men to their homes. We found the
wet clothing identified by passengers
as that worn by the robbers. We
found three masks and found in the
firebox of the. cook stove when the
arrests were made the shoes of the
men arrested. The tracks were meas
ured and fitted the shoes exactly"
The American Express people claim
they lost nothing by the robbery and
the loss to the passengers is esti-
mated at 5000 to $500.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 14.-Nearly
every track in every railroad yard in
Kansas City is filed with freight cars
loaded with grain, coal, cattle and
merchandise. The freight movement

history of the city, and the traffic
during this month is so great that it
is impossible to clear the freight
yards. Grain is now lying on the
ground in Kansas awaiting cars to be
shipped to market, grain elevators
are filled and railroads and shippers
unite in clamoring for more cars.
