FOUR GREAT PROBLEMS.
pr. Trueblood, Representative at The Hague Conference Delivers Address.

Indianapolis. Ind, October 26.-Dr. Ben- jamin Truebood. representative of the American Peace society at The Hague conference and member of the Interna- tional Peace Bureau and International Law association, addressed the national conference of Friends tonight on "The Four Great Problems of the Age" He said:
 There are four great problems that are staring us in the face and unless they are solved by the Christian church during the coming century this nation and others cannot hold their own. They are the terrible liquor evil that does more to ruin the homes blight minds and cause crime than any one other agency; the industrial problem. that has been going on during the last half century. and which has now reached an acute stage; the race problem, which has been going on for all time, and the wars be- tween great nations.
 Industrial war Is wrong from all points of view. Industrial tyranny and slavery should not be permitted. The early church swept aside boundaries and declared all men are brothers. There should be no race distinctions. The ques- ton of the abolition of war Is the great est one the civilized world has to con- tend with today"

ENGLISHMEN HAVE
 NOTHING TO FEAR
LORD CHARLES BEREsFoRD AR- RIVEs AT LIVERPOOL FROM NEW YORK AND SAYS U. 8. IS AHEAD IN ENGINEERING.

Liverpool, October 26-viee Admiral Lord Charles Beresford arrived here to- day from New York on the Cunard line steamer Umbria. In the United States Lord Beresford studied the conduction of American battleships and also investigat- ed shipping matters. He was interviewed on his trip to America, and said he had a splendid reception in the United States, and that he could vouch for the genuine ness of the kind entertainment for Amer ica in Great Britain. He said in his in- vestigations on the other side he was con vinced that Great Britain had nothing to fear from the International Mercantile company. On the contrary, he believed this combine would benefit England com merelally and otherwise. "The United States" said the admiral, lis certainly ahead of us in engineering and admins tration, and we need to adapt ourselves more to modern ideas"
 Continuing, his lordship said he did not take a pessimistic view of the situation, and did not agree that Great Britain was going down hill. Public men ought to strive to bind the two great countries more firmly together. If Great Britain and the United States" said the admiral. were joined in the interests Of universal peace, and If the rest of the world want ed to fight these countries then let the rest of the world look out"

FIVE BLOCKS ARE
 NOW UNDER WATER
HEAVY RAINS HAVE CAUSED GREAT DAMAGE IN BRUNSWICK, GA.-SEvERE WASHoUTS RE- PORTED ON THE RAILROADS.


 Brunswick Ga. October 26-As a result of continued heavy rains for the past forty eight hours. five blocks in the cen ter of this city are under water tonight. and considerable damage has been done from Monk to Mansfield. On Newcastle street, one of the principal business blocks in the city, the water has risen into the stores and is from ten to fifteen inches deep. The city fire department is under water. The iails are both flooded, and from Bay to Union streets, distance of d quarter of mile troffie Is impos- sible.
 The Brunswick Electrical Supply com pany has been put entirely out of busi- ness by the water, and not light fur nished by that concern is burning to- night.
 A heavy northeaster has been prevail ing for two or three days, and the only reason assigned for the downpour by mariners and nautical people generally Is that these gales contribute their share to the deluge.
 Railroad traffic has been badly inter- rupted and several washouts have been reported on the Southern between Bruns- wick and Jessup, and on the Brunswick and Birmingham. the latter coming in over the Atlantic Coast Line tracks. All mails are beated. both arriving and de- parting.

MEXICAN RAILROAD DEAL.
Documents Providing for Transfer oi
 M. c. 6 p. Road Prepared.

Mexico City. October 2e.--Documents providing for the transfer of the Mexl- can, Curnavaca and Pacific railroad to the Mexican Central Railroad company have been prepared and only await sig natures. The Central acquires the prop erty free from an incumberances, merely by paying its liabilities to London and national banks, the liability for which the government is guarantor. The haoil- ity in question is approximately S4bOoOOO In connection with the impending trans fer the government has granted to the Central Railroad company an amended concession, which empowers that com pany to build either to Acapulco or zihuatanejo. as surveys may demon- strate to be the more advisable. If zihuatanejo is chosen as a terminus, then branch line must be built to Chilpancingo. It is reported that the sub sidy Is to be $S000 per kilometer, payable in per cent interest redeemable deben- ture bonds at par, but if the road goes to zihuatanejo. then the subsidy per kilometer between the original road and she branch to Zihuatanejo will be SSOOO per kilometer

BoeATA ARRIVES SAFELY.
Colombian Legation Officials Are Con
 graduating Themselves.

Washington, October 26.-A dispatch sent from Panama at Il o'clock this morn- ing was received by the Colombian lega- tion here today, announcing that the cruiser Bogota was then entering the har- bor. The Bogota Is the vessel which, ac- cording to rumors at Managua, Nica- ragua, yesterday, was engaged in battle with the insurgent gunboat Padilla.
 The officials at the legation are con- graduating themselves on the safe ar rival of the Bogota at Panama, as they confidently believe she will exert an im- portant influence in ending the revolu- tionary movement in that department. She was equipped with only four six pounders on her trip down from San Francisco, most of her armament having been consigned to Colon with the intention of transporting 1t overland to Panama. This additional armament consists of fifteen-pounder, two siX-pounders, two six-pounders, two machine and several smaller guns.

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Rates for Money Continue Low and
 Applications Are Few.

London, October 26.-The rates for money continue low. The 92500, 900 raised last week to meet the treasury bills, ap- peared to be easily procurable on the open market, and did not result in any marked stiffening of prices. No appli- cations for large loans are being made to the bank; consequently the bank S per cent rate has not yet had the effect of raising the market prices. The bank is being urged to make it's rate more effective. It has now begun to borrow freely for short periods. in order to help harden rates and incidentally to lesson the probability of a flow of gold to Paris where the demand for money is increasing.
 The apprehensiveness concerning mone- tary conditions in New York has now fairly subsided. The non-speculative condition of the stock exchange last week extended into the American department which relapsed into activity in sympa- thy with the general indifference. The very slight damage done to stock mar kets in the United States by the late money stringency there, has begotten re- newed confidence, however. in Ameri- can shares and these undoubtedly will continue to keep the leading features in a continuously dull market.

CENSUS REPORT
 ON ILLITERACY
FIGURES SHOW THAT CHILDREN OF THE FOREIGN BORN PoPu- LAYTON ARE BETTER EDUCATED THAN NATIVE CHILDREN.

Washington. october 2s.-The census of flee has issued statement giving com pilation of figures regarding illiteracy among children of immigrants and chil- dren of natives. The statemen, says:
 "Confining the comparison to children between the ages of 10 and IA years in the United States as a whole a5.6 per cent or the native white children of native par ents and 991 per cent of the native white children of foreign-born parents are able to read and write.
 This surprising difference in favor Of the children of the foreign-born popuia- tion, is due largely to the fact that the children of foreign born immigrants, live mainly in the northern and western states where the public school systems have al- ready reached a high degree of efficiency, while great numbers of native white chr- of native parents live in lthe southern states and in that region about 10 per cent of such children are illiterate. When tne comparison is carried out by geographic divisions. the difference between the two classes in each part of the United States. except the south Atlantic states Is found to be much less than in the whole coun- try Yet these figures indicate that in ev- cry region, except the north Atlantic states. the 1iterate children Of immigrant whites, are larger per cent of the whole number of such children. than the liter ate children of native whites are of all children of native whites.
 This Is partly explained by the clus- tering of immigrants and their children mainly in the cities and towns. while the native white children of native parents live more generally in the rural districts. Thus in the north Atlantic division there are 998S51 native white children, 10 to IA years of age, and born of native parents, of whom 32 per cent live in cities having at least 25,0O0 inhabitants.
 On the other hand among 432 native white children, 10 to IA years of age. ana the same group of states. 62 per cent live in smaller cities. There Is no reason 10 infer from the census figures that the children of illiterate immigrants are con stituting a permanent illiterate class in the population.
 "It will be noticed, however, that the foregoing figures relate exclusively to i'm migrants who have been In the country long enough for their children born here, to have reached the age of 10 years. Whether among the children of immi- grants who have arrived since 1890, there is the same eagerness to acquire at least an elementary education, 1t is still too early determine from census figures.

COLLISION HURTS TWO.
Belt Railroad Engineer colIides Witt
 Chattanooga Street Car.

Chattanooga, October 26.-A belt rail- road locomotive, drawing several freight cars. collided with a Rapid Transit car outside the city limits this afternoon. Several persons were injured, two of them seriously. The seriously injured are:
 Charles Harris, white, Chattanooga
 Dr. J. L.. Eaton, Chattanooga.
 The Rapid Transit cars are operated over the Belt line track, and to insure safety, signals are used by the Rapid Transit to indicate whether or not the track is clear.
 It is claimed that the Belt road en- gineer disregarded the signal that a Rapid Transit car had the right of way and kept on the main track instead of taking the siding. The engineer and fire man jumped, leaving the throttle open. The fireman remounted the engine and closed the throttle, not, however. uptil the collision had occurred The electric car was demolished.
