ROBERT C. OGDEN'S PLAN
Comprehensive Scheme of Education Mapped Out at Dinner in New
 York

New York, Nov. s-A comprehensive plan for the promulgation of education among both the white and negro races was enunciated at the dinner given by Robert c. ogden to the Southern Educa- tion Board last night The central idea of the scheme is that energetic efforts shall be instituted in the South at once for the spread of educational propaganda among the people of that section. The purpose will be to interest the southern people of both races in education, to in still into the minds of those not possess ing 1t, zeal for knowledge. In carrying out the designs of this new organization, 1t is planned to spend the sum of $4o0oO annually for two years.
 The guiding hand in all of this work Is to be J. l.. M. Curry, for long time con nected with the work of education in the South. Mir. Curry is to be general agent of the board. Closely associated with him will be Rev. Dr. D. w. Dabney. pr. Dabney will be known as the "Chief or inc Bureau of Information, Investigation and the Librarian" He will maintain at Knoxville, Tenn, a bureau of informa- ton and literature from which will be sent out a large quantity of matter con corning the purpose in hand. The 'neId directors of the scheme are to be the Rev. pr. II. B. Frissell of Hampton, Va, pr. R. c. McIvor of Greensboro, N. C., and pr. E. A. Alderman of New Orleans.
 Associated with them will be Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee. Ala. and pr. G. S. Dickerson of New Haven. Conn, as associate field agents. The Southern Education Board will have the assistance in the work of Dr. Albert Shaw, William H. Baldwin. Jr., and Dr. Walter H. Page.

MERIT THE sUPREME TEsT.
Promotions in the Army VIII be
 Governed by Records of the

Washington. Nov. s.-The President to- day declared to Senator Cullom of Illinois that in making the promotions to the Brigadier Generalphips soon to become vacant he will be governed entirely by the records showing them to be most de- serving Of promotion, and that neither personal consideration or influence would count. Senator Clalom had called on ae- count of Major Baliance and Major Mc- Ciernand. son of General Meclernand. The latter was General Shafters adjutanf during the Santiago campaign.
 Senator Burrows of Michigan, talked with the President today. about financial legislation. Senator Burrows is mem Der of the Finance Committee of the Sen ate and is strongly opposed at this time to any further reductions of the govern ment's income. T do not believe" said he, sthat 1t would be wise to tinker with the revenues until we know exactly what money will be needed. If we are to build the Nicaragua canal and provide liberal amounts for the improvement of rivers and harbors 1t would be the height of folly at this time to slash the revenues"

PLATE MILLS COMBINE.
Charles M. schwab is Interested in
 the Deal.

Philadelphia. Nov. 9.-The North American tomorrow will say:
 A now $50, 0,0o0, ,0s0 steel. corporation IS forming for tho purpose of uniting in one powerful combination the plate mills of the country. Ten more plants including Pennsylvania companies that are now doing a large business are to be absorbed by the new concern.
 A significant feature of the deal IS the active part taken in 1t by Charles M. schwab. president of the United States steel corporation. MT. Schwab attended a conference held in this city early in the week and had much to do with shaping the plans of the concern. This is believed to indicate that 1t will be operated in harmony with the billion dollar corpora ton and that eventually the new com- pany may become identified with MT. Schwab's corporation.

shackies. and was forced from cover by hunger.
 Parker and Grayson were encountered on the railroad track at Midland. Kax. this afternoon by Dave Lewis, farmsr. Parker carried revolver, but threw it away. and both surrendered meekiy ana permitted Lewis to lead them into Leav- enworth.
 Three parties of deputies that went out during the day to locate different patches of convicts supposed to have surrendered to farmers. two going from Lawrence and one from Leavenworth, returned at dark empty y-handed.
 It Is believed that the fourteen convtcte still at large have broken up into twos and threes and scattered to avoid attract ing attention, and this may aid them in getting away. It Is now possible that some of them may get into the Indian Territory before morning. As fast as the men are captured they are returned to the penitentiary and placed in solitary confinement. When the condition of the guards shot at the outbreak is finally de- termined, the convicts will be charged with the added crimes of conspiring to Kill the guards and with murder if that charge can be placed properly. The dead bodies of Quinn. Huffman and Poffenholz win be buried in the prison grounds.

 Them.

New York, Nov. 9.-To celebrate the sixtieth birthday of King Edward VII. members of the various British societies in this city gathered at a banquet at Delmonico's tonight. Letters were read from Field Marshal Earl Roberts, Lord Pauncefote, General Wolseiey and Gov ernor Milner of South Africa.
 r Gen. John R. Brooke responded to the tost General Kitchener and the troops in South Africa, and General Chaffee and the troops in the Philippines" He said in part:
 You talk about General Kitchener and his troubles in South Africa. In time the English flag will proclaim freedom over all the territory of South Africa.
 General Chaffee and our other brave generals are fighting the same battle for God and freedom and for civilization in the far-away Philippines against all most insurmountable difficulties. This has been the task of the United States army ever since America said to the mother country, We love you, but we are grown up. and hereafter we will manage our affairs.'"

JELKs AT GREENvILLE.
The Governor Urges Citizens to
 Vote for Ratification.

The Governor Urges Citizens to
 Vote for Ratification.
 GreenvilIe, Nov. 9.--(Special. )-Governor W. D. Jelks was greeted this afternoon by a court house full of voters to hear him speak for ratification. Just at o'clock Senator D. M. Powell opened the meeting, making a short, but fine speech on the subject. He then introduced the Governor.
 Mir. Jeiks was generously applauded and no speaker has ever commanded bet ter attention.
 He devoted a good portion of his speech to the suffrage clause and the appoint ing of the registrars. He explained this to the entire satisfaction of the audience and 1t was a good point, we'll made, as in this county the antis have been indus triously circulating the sentiment that the registrars would disfranchise all who would not vote as they desired them to vote. The Governor said that he did not believe that he and the two other men who composed the appointing board, could select three men having the qualifiea- tions necessary to make them fit for the office who would disfranehise single white man in the county who can now vote. The whole thing in nut shell. said the Governor, Is a fight for white supremacy. For years the black belt have been perpetrating frauds so that the State could have white supremacy, and now the black belt asked the white coun- ties to come to their help and rid them of this burden.
 After the speaking large number of the people came up and sought an intro duction to the speaker, and congratulated him upon his able speech. There is no doubt that it did good and many who went there undecided went home fully convinced that the new law was infinitely better than the old, and will next Monday go to the polls and vote for ratification.

LORD MAYORS BANQUET.
Premier Salisbury Touched Upon the
 South African War.


 London. Nov. e.-trhe Lord Mayors ban auet at the Guild Hall tonight was a spectacular close of today.s festivities. The historic building was the acene of medieval sights were ' strangely mingled. A gathering of 2s000 of the most infiuen- tial citizens of London including the heads of various government Departments ton of which the government was not slow to take advantage. The presence of Lord Salisbury afforded an excellent ex- ment ] toward the the South African contro- versy. The response of the great audi ence in the banquet hall could hardly be called enthusiastic. Referring to the pro- gress of the war in South Africa Lord Salisbury said: Tt is pleasant to record that the peace of the world has been so little disturbed bv the events of the last two years. It Is a sign of the increasing also that, the cloud of the past three weeks over the Mediterranean has 80 lightly passed away"
 Touching upon South African develop ments Lord Salisbury said:
 T strongly deprecate the spirit of pes simism so frequently heard in the utter ances of some of our public men as to like the wars of former years, no longer does the capture of an enemy's capital and the dissipation of his field force con- stitute a conclusive victory. We are now which must be slowly and effectively stamped out. We are progressing slow ly perhaps, but steadily.
 We have been subject to much vague and indefinite criticism; but our bitteregr opponents have not been able to point out any tangible defect, and definite cause of complaint.
 'T deeply regret the ravages of the war In the colonies to which we are anx- ious to accord the fullest practicable measure of self-government But we have had neighbors in South Africa whose conduct for years has been a menace to the stability of that section of our em- pire. Now we are engaged in removing this menace and we are determined to do 1t so effectually that it will never re- quire doing again."
 This declaration was received with cor dial but by no means enthusiastic. ap- nlafiaA

Protests were telegraphed here subsequently, that the appointment was of carpet-bag na- ture and that Cole had resided at Clarks- dale less than the prescribed six months for citizenship. An investigation corrobo- rated this charge and the change was made.

IN MORGAN COUNTY.
Both Sides are Working Hard for
 Victory.

Decatur, Nov. 9.-(Special. )-With the closing of the campaign tonight, the ques- tion of the ratification of the new Con- stitution is largely in doubt in North Ala bama and especially Morgan County, there having been decided opposition to ratification by some prominent men. The negroes are saying little, but 1t is con ceded they will cast strong vote against ratification. It is generally understood the negroes have been quietly but sys- tematically organized.
 This county has been recognized as hattie ground, and there has been speak ing in some portion of it every day the past two weeks. The new constitution has been thoroughly threshed over and no voter can say he does not understand it. The Campaign Committee mas pre- ,aarad to work white supremacy for all 1t is worth at the polls next Monday. There is speaking in every beat in the county county tonight.

 ''The lost Tayspa mines, celebrated in Spanish annals as having produced eighty millions of dollars in silver and gold in the seventeenth century, and which are described on Spanish maps as being sit- uated in Northwestern Mexico within fifty leagues from the sea near Dos Pilares, have been found. As far back as 1859 Robert l.. DAumalie, celebrated French expert, declared the location of the Cieneguita in the Sapuria district. Sonora, to be identical with the lost Tay- apa. The Spanish owners are said to have been murdered by the natives and near the closesof the seventeenth century and it is stated that for one hundred years thereafter. no one was allowed to enter that region. Explorers who have recently returned from Cieneguita re- port having discovered the old stone prisons, old smelters and stupandous work accomplished by the ancients."
