PrOpOsitiOn.

railroad freight agents and stockmen

of railroad commissioners to-day,

concessions, and the board called this
conference for the purpose of agree

AIR SHIP THAT FLIES
Paris Man Again Shows That he Can
Control His Invention.

Paris, August 5.-Another attempt
was TO have been made to-day by the
Brazilian aeronaut, Santos-Dumont,
to win the prize of 100000 francs Of
fered by Mr.. Deutsch for the aeronaut
who would sail his flying machine
from the Aero Club grounds at Sues
nes, around the Eiffel tower and back
within half hour, but the journey
was prevented by strong wind.
If any doubt still fingered as to the
perfect "steerability" of M. Santos
Dumont's balloon, it must have been
dispelled by Sundays ascension.
What M. Santos Dumont has
achieved is in itself quite sufficient to
convince the most skeptical that he is
absolutely master of his direction
while in the air.
Starting at the Pare 'Aerostation
at st. Cloud at Alb Sunday afternoon,
the Santos Dumont ", after IA jour
ney above the Bois de Boulogne in the
direction of the Eitfel tower, turned as
obediently as n yacht answering her
helm and came back to the pare at Il
air speed, following an undertaking
course, as though it We're marked by a

HUGE COTTON EXPORTS.
For Year Ended Averaged Above
S1,000,OOO Il Day.

Washington, Aug. 5.-King Cotton
made his best record in the fiscal year
just closed. The value of the raw
cotton exported in.l90l was more than
in any previous year in the history
OF ou' country, and the total value of
cotton and its products exported
averaged 81 900, 600 for every day in
the year. The total value of raw cot
ton exported in 1901 was 1913, ,673, 433,
against 1920, 7l2, SDs in the best year
ever before known, 1891: and the
total value of cotton, cotton goods.
cottonseed oil and meal and other
products of that plant exported was
$500, 4O5, 7O7. In quantity the exports
of the year were not so great as in
1898, 1898 or 1899, but the price was so
much better that the value exceeded by
many millions that of the years of the
greatest movement as measured in
pounds. This brings the export value
of cotton and its products above that
of all breadstuffs or all classes of pro-
visions, and only about 800, 900, 600
less than breadstutfs and provisions
combined, the years exports of bread
stuils being $275, 5S4, ,6lS. and of
provisions, $l96, 05S, S7S. The ag-
gregate value of the cotton exports
in the past ecade is over

81 MILLIONS PROFIT.
Uncle Sam Cleared That Sum During
the Year 1901.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The division
of bookkeeping and warrants of the
Treasury department has made public
q table of the receipts and expenditures
of the government, including those
for the year ending June 30, 1901. 1t
shows that during the year the ex-
penditures of the War department
amounted to Sl44, ,6l5, 697. The Navy
department spent $50, 5O6, ,97s, and
S139, 1923, 621 was distributed in PEN
sions. The Indians came in for $40, =
S96, 073, and the interest on the public
debt amounted to 1872, 342, ,979 Other
miscellaneous expenditures reached
1922, 2S2, 003. The total expenditures
were 5000, 967, 1853.
With all this prodigality Uncle
Sam was quite thrifty during the year,
for the Treasury department collected
in one way and another $5S7, 1856, 1897,
so at the end of the year it was nearly
come, $23S, ,5s5, 455 came from customs,
1907, lS0, 663 from the internal revenue
taxes, 81. 965, l19 from the sale OF pub
lie lands and S3S, 956, ,00s from miscel-
laneous sources. The excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures was s77,7l7,-
9S4, andla surplus Of S2l ,233, 293 was
put aside for rainy day.
The receipts from customs we're 5
million dollars greater than in any
previous year, they having been only
S233, 1854, ,S71 in 1900. The receipts from
internal revenue we're almost IL mill
lion dollars greater than the best pre-
ceding year, 1900, when they amounted
to 1895, 1927, 926. The total revenues of
the government were 20 million dol
lars in excess of 1900 and the expendi-
lures about - million dollars. When
Uncle Sam set in business for himself
he collected during the first year, 1871,
only s., 400, 59l. Being of frugal
disposition, however, and not having
so many calls on his pocketbook as
now he managed to get through the
year on So. 7O7, ,436 The income and
expenditures for the entire year are
less than the treasurer now receives
and disburses every three days, in
Sundays and holidays.

WILL CONTINUE THEWAR
AguinaldO's Successor Issues Most
Promising Proclamation.

Manila, Aug. D. Miguel Malavar,
who has been recognized as the sue
'essor of Aguinaldo by the Filipino
lunta at Hong Kong, has issued Il pro-
clamation, dated July IL, copies OF
which arrived here this morning. Civ
ing assurances to the natives of the
continuation of an active campaign
and expressing hope for its successful
issue.
The proclamation, of which 80 600
copies have been printed, purports to
emanate from Batangas. 1t is achar-
acteristic insurgent document, charg-
ing the Americans with allsorts of afro
cities. 1t recounts the losses of arms
and ammunition and the death OF four
distinguished American officers, July
10, all of which, itsays, the authorities
concealed. The proclamation threat
ems General Cables with death for
treachery and warns all Filipinos who
surrender that they will never be able
to live outside the American lines
Malavar claims he has sufficient arms
and supplies to continue the fighting
indefinitely.
The American officials believe the
proclamation was really written by
Agoncillo 1.-THE former representative
of Aguinaldo in Europe) at Hong
Kong, and he, probably, has never
seen Malavar. Strong efforts are be-
ing made by the police to prevent the

MANY ARE KILLED
Terrific Explosion In a Philadelphia
Grocery.

Philadelphia, Aug. 5. A terrifcex-
plosion in block of six buildings on
Locust street, above Tenth, tonight,
completely wrecked five Of the struc-
lures and caused the death of from
ten to twenty or more persons. over
two score of others were more or less
seriously :iniured. Some of those
taken to the hospital will die. 1t is
estimated that at least thirty-fve per-
sons were in the five buildings when
the explosion occurred, and the exact
number of dead will probably not be
known for twenty-four hours.
The explosion occurred about $3.50
O'Clock. What exploded and how it
happened is not known at this time,
but it is believed to have been bar
rel OF gasoline in one of the three gro
Gerry stores.
Over one hundred persons injured in
the explosions we're. attended in the
various hospitals. Many are in pre-
carious condition. The area OF COM
plete destruction could be covered
by circle two hundred feet in diame-
ter. The houses outside this however,
are badly wrecked. Either the front
or side walls OF many are gone. The
theory of the gasoline explosion is
generally accepted, The property:loss
is fifty thousand dollars. The death
list is believed TO be twelve.

Hurled I.5OO Years.

The sea has sometimes swallowed
up church that has been built too
near the edge of the ocean, but il
is difficult to underSt tand how a whole
edifice could sink into the eartn, to
be rediscovered beneath the founda-
tions of its successor. Such, however,
has been the case with the church of
Santa Maria Antigua, at Rome, built
in the fourth century, and now un-
covered by the demolition of the
newer church, Santa Maria Libera-
trice. The entrance of this strange
old church is built on to a vestibule
of Caligula's palace, and was once
decorated with pictures, which, Of
course, have been ruined by the ac.
emulation of earth and debris,
Some, however, are fairly well pre-
served. and give the history of Jo-
seph and his adventures with Pharoah
and Potiphar's wife. Another series
of pictures represent the history OF
our Saviour. The church, it is
thought, must undoubtedly be the
first Christian church ever built in
Rome. and was especially erected to
abolish the cult of Yesta and Ju-
turna. "The wonderful point about
it all is" says an Italian sayant, "that
this Christianizing transformation
actually took place in the palace of
the Caesars. ."-Chicago Daily News.

Editors News;
desire to extend through the col
umns of the Sequachce Valley News
my heartfelt thanks and my gratitude
to the directors Of the public school for
bestowing upon me the honor of Sam
! Houston Academy principalship, to the
trustees for the use Of the building, and
to the many friends who have given
me the hand of sincerity and congratu-
lation. To say that | am grateful for
the honor thus bestowed would be to
lightly express the appreciation felt,
and in eturn for such kindness intend
to put forth my best endeavors to teach
a number one school But let me i'm
| press upon the minds of my patrons
that great deal will depend upon the
spirit in which they permit their child
rem to enter. Should you entertain
the slightest doubt about my teach
ing first-class, school / beg of you
for the good of your children to let no
such conversation take place in their
presence, and above all things impress
upon their minds the all Importance Of
obedience and respect. do not claim
infallibility, consequently should your
children tell you of mistreatmont, come
to me and | assure you it will be ar
range d to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned, but do not insinuate to your
child that he has been mistreated.
am we'll cognizant of the fact that
teacher should have in mind more
things than book learning Pedagogy
in its simplest meaning is, the science
and art of teaching books, but it en-
braces far more than that 1t is to
sEillfully teach and wisely train child
rem that they may attain the purest
and best types of manhood and woman
b ood. The word educate is derived
from two Latin words which mean to
lead or to draw out, and hence it is
leading child out into the fields of
physical culture, mental culture and
moral culture.
Realizing that cooperation is essen
tial to success ! intend to be in con-
stant touch with the directors and others
who would prove efficient advisers.
AS the trustees have kindly consent
ed to address the school the morning of
the opening, | kindly request the pat
rons to send their children that
morning so that they can receive the
benefits of their remarks
Again thanking those who have been
instrumental in placing me in charge
of Sam Houston Academy and the peo-
pie who expressed their satisfaction
with the selection of the directors, |
beg to sign myself
Sincerely yours,
H. G. SIMPSON.
