STONE MARKING MASON AND DIXON'S LINE. where it got it's name. Accurately de- scribed, Mason and Dixon's line begins at the southeastern corner of the pres ent state of Delaware, runs due west to the middle of the peninsula that lies between Delaware and Chesapeake bays. thence northward to form the tangent of q circle drawn from New Castle. Del, as q center, with q radius of 12 miles. This north aud south line extends to q parallel lying within b miles of the city of Philadelphia thence due west to the western bound ary of Pennsylvania. The main DOT tion of the line is the parallel 39 de grees 43 minutes 26.3 seconds north.
 Mason and Dixon's line is the out come of dispute between the heirs of William Penn and those of Lord Balti- more, the proprietor of Maryland, as to the boundaries of their respective terri tories. Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon Were two eminent English sur veyors and mathematicians who were brought here in 1763 to fix the bound aTleS. ne WOFk LOOK several years and was completed by others.
 Mason and Dixon marked the line with stone posts, and the resurvey in 1S49 caused new posts to be set up to take the place of the old ones. Recent ly it has been found necessary to re- place these with new markers. They have been erected by the state of Penn sylvania, and each of them has been surrounded by a heavy wire netting to protect it from relic hunters The phrase "Mason and Dixon's line" first became popular when in 1920 John Randolph called it the line which sepa- rated freedom from slavery

The cost is about the same as under the old system, since only one building is to be maintained instead of several. A decided advantage of the plan lies In the foundation of regularly graded schools, with all the modern facilities The conveyance draws to school many children who would otherwise In in clement weat ther remain at home.
 The plan has met with approval in Ohio and is being investigated by sev- eral of the other states. The prospects are that 1t will be adopted elsewhere. This system Is known as the rural cen tralized school system. In the Ohio districts pupils who live more than three-quarters of mile from the cen tral school are conveyed thither by stage.

THE CUBAN GOVERNMENT
MAY CAUSE CHANGES
IN THE ELECTORAL CODE.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TBIBUSE.l

Washington, Sept. 20.-The visit TO Washing
ton Of General Leonard Wood. military governor
of Cuba, has given rise to much speculation on
two points of interest affecting the future or
that island. The first is to when the insuiar
government will be fully established. so that 1t
will be safe to withdraw the United States mill
tary forces The other is to what are 70 be
the commercial relations between Cuba and the
United States.
II is known that upon both of these questions
President Mckinley had matured a definite plan.
He had hoped that the Cubans would be ready
to stand alone not later than next April or May.
when he would have Withdrawn the troops under
the special authorization of the Platt amend
ment Now that the Cubans have adopted an
electoral code that seems fraught with many
uncert tainties. IL IS regarded as possible that
President Roosevelt may be unable TO turn the
island completely over to the Cuban people at
the date hoped for by his predecessor However
as the new President is known to be exceed
ingly anxious TO get rid of the Cuban question
as early as practicable. II is thought that some
effective influence may be brought TO bear upon
the constitutional convention at Havana TO
amend the electoral code so as TO divest that
instrument of the features that are Objectionable
to this government. and thus enable the Presl-
dent to carry ont his predecessors plan TO the
letter
II Is also known that President Mckinney
had promised the representatives of the pest
thought and citizenship Of Cuba that ne wou'd
recommend to Congress reciprocity treaty
with the insular government that would De
mutually beneficial. The leaders OF business
and industry in Cuba have been relying upon
this pledge, and. accordingly, have laid their
course.

the Texas at that time backed or stopped. he

Captain Harber then asked concerning
the position of the Brooklyn relative to the
Texas and to the other ships when he first saw
her after the turn.
THE Brooklyn" he replied, was on the port
bow of the Texas. standing at an angle, should
say. approxmating one-half point to the south
