Every now and then some Vim
ita man with less sense and less
benevolence than money raises the
hue and cry that the public school
privileges should be measured out
to the people in proportion to the
taxes they pay, and that an imagi-
nary wall should be built around
the public schools Of the town. Il
has been limited at BY some OF
these mole-eyed benefactors OF
humanity that the college could
be helped by shutting the doors Of
the public school against as many
children as possible. The mar
rowness OF this view ls as trans
parent as glass. Intelligence is
certainly better than Ignorance,
and the public school is the great
.lisseminator of intelligence. 1t
should be the policy of the people
of Vinita to get as many children
into the public schools as possible.
1t is dangerous and un.American
to measure the privileges Of child
by the amount Of taxes his par
ents pay in the particular locality
in which they reside.

FRICTION IS APPARENT
TROUBLE MAY BE RENEWED IN
SOUTH AFRICA.
Beers Who Fought Throughout the
War Look Down Upon Those Who
Surrendered While Hostilities
Were in Progress.

Pretoria, July 15.-The settlement of
the annexed territories Is not being ac-
complished without considerable friction.
This Is especially noticeable in the bitter
hatred and persecution on the part OF
the Beers, who stayed In the field to the
end of the war against the Beers who
served as British subjects. 1t is said that
some of these national scouts have been
shot or beaten.
So intense is the feeling that many OF
the burghers who fought consistently 70
the end distinguished themselves from
those who surrendered during the war
by wearing a green badge. The trans
vaal and Free State colors are also free
ly worm and the custom Is encouraged
by the Dutch who did not take an active
part in the war.
Many of the burghers declare they were
induced to agree to surrender by the
false representations of their leaders,
who painted the terms too rosily. Dis
cordant elements are numerous and any
attempt to place the burghers who sur
rendered during the war in authority
concevably result in a renewal of hos
tilitics. The majority of the Beers have
apparently in no way abandoned their
nationality. and some of them preach the
advlsability of opening Dutch schools 80
as to keep alive their nationality.
The whole situation so bristles with
difficulties that there are not lacking
those who doubt IL the document signed
May 81 was really the final settlement of
the South African trouble.

Motion to Quash Writs.

Quebec, July 15.-Messrs. Gaynor and
Greene filed answers today to the motions
made by counsel for the United States to
ouash the writs of habeas corpus issued
nv Judge Caron on June 20 and p. Should
the writ be set aside the extradition pro-
ceedings will be heard on their merits.
Among the reasons set forth by counsel
for Greene and Gaynor for denying the
motion to quash the writs were the fol-
lowing:
That all motions and all proceedings in
connection with the demand for their ex-
tradition were not authorized by the
United States of America which are en-
tireIy strangers in the case; that no
mower of attorney nor credentials from
the United States government have been
filed in the record by the supposed coun-
sci for the United States, although fire.
ouently asked for; that the present pro-
ceedings do not in any manner conflict
with those taken before Judge Andrews,
as previous to the latter rendering his
Judgment the accused had abandoned
their writs of habeas corpus then pending
before Judge Andrews; that when Marion
Erwin made the complaint upon when
the demand for extradition was made
before Commissioner La Fontaine he rem
dered himself unworthy of continuing said
proceedings in his name as he had Of
fered the accused TO compromise by aban-
doning the demand of extradition on their
payment Of a sum of $500 900; that Erwin,
with the object of influencing public opln-
ion in the United States, transmitted to
Attorney General Knox a report OF the
proceedings in this case very injurious to
the administration and Judicial authority
of Canada
In conclusion the accused protested
against Mr.. Erwin's conduct and reiterat-
ed their accusation that he offered to set
tie the present case for 100000.

THREE TOWNS WIPED OUT.
Feared That Great Damage Has Beer
Done by Tornado.

Feared That Great Damage Has Been
Done by Tornado.
St. Paul, July 15.-Tremendous damage
and. it is feared. great loss Of life was
caused by a tornado that swept in a
southwesterly dlrection from the interna
tional boundary across the northeastern
portion Of North Dakota tonight.
Three towns, according to the meagre
reports which were obtainable at mid
night. were totally wiped out. Railway
and Western Union telegraph lines arc
wrecked and there is no communication
with the section of the State where the
most devastation is thought to have been
wrought
The first intimation of the seriousness
of the storm came at o'clock when the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific tel
egraph lines in the storm district were
suddenly snuffed out A few moments
later communication west of Fargo on the
Great Northern and west of Ulen on the
Northern Pacific was absolutely cut off.
Telephones suffered the same damage.
The little town of Borup. on the st. Vim
cent line of the Great Northern, is an
absolute wreck The final report last

out and hardly a structure of any sort
was left standing. This came from a
plucky Great Northern telegraph operator
who, after his station office had been
laid fat saved his instruments from the
ruins and tapped the wires at the near
est available point.
He also reported the razing of hamlet
some miles distant with destruction of a
large amount of property. The report
from Borup came in very soon after the
storm struck and contained no informa-
ton as to the casualties.
With the report from the st. Vincent
branch came reports that the towns of
Ell Dorado, about seven miles from Grand
Forks, and Thompson. between Grand
Forks and Larimore, had been destroyed.
At Thomson the Great Northern sta
ton lies a confused mass of wreckage
directly across the railroad. Stores and
residences are in ruins and the main por-
tions of the town is wiped out.
Mere fragments of information come
from Ell Dorado. but these indicate the
destruction of that town of about $50 peo-
pie. lseither the reports from Thompson
nor Ell Dorado speak of loss of HE. This
is partly accounted for by the fact that
they were sent before news could have
been received from the outlying districts.

seems to have been unusually wide and
the effects of the storm outside Its pfi-
mary line unusually severe. The devas-

SITUATION CRITICAL.
Attempt viii Be Made to Smother
the Fire.


New Orleans. July 15.-The Picayune's
Jernir gs Ua) special, dated 1890 m,
July 16. says:
News just received from the oil field
reports the situation as being extremely
critical. The fire has burned all of tho
packing out of the valves and the flame Is
growing larger.
At ii o'clock the brass melted out OF
the valve and the flames are shooting as
high as the derrick. 1t is expected that
the top of the pipe viii burn off and the
flames will spread to the derricks and the
ad joining tanks. President Alba Hey
wood stated that an attempt would be
made between now and morning to smoth-
err the flames. A huge cone OF quarter or
eight inch iron about ten feet in height
and sixty feet in diameter Is being made
and will be taken out as coon as finished.
A wiro cable has been stretched from one
os the derricks TO a pole and the cone
will be slid along on his until it it over
the well, then dropped This plan will be
tried in case the chemical engine, which
Is expected from Beaumont, fails to
quench the fire. The flame is growing
stronger for the reflection of 1t can now
be seen from this city.
Later-12:50 a. m. The special with fifty
passengers and thu fire-lghting appara-
tus has just arrived and will be at once

TO sHELvE CANAL MATTER.
Secretary Hay to Postpone 1t Until
After Vacation.


Washington. July IA definite ar
rangement which will shelve the Pana-
ma Canal matter in its diplomatic phase
until the return Of Secretary Hay from
his vacation. 1t Is believed will be ef-
fected before the end of the current
week. While Mr.. Cromwell, for the
Panama Canal Company. has been busily
engaged in questions dealing with the
clearance of title. Senior Concha, the
Colombian minister and Mr.. Herran. flrst
Secretary of Legation, have been in
forming the Colombian Government of
the status of the diplomatic negotiations.
There are quite a number of important
Issues Ringing on the question of sover-
eighty which must be reconciled and
Senior Concha has sent several cable
grams to Bogota explaining to the offi-
Gals there the nature of the modifica-
lions which must be made in the treaty
before it can be finally presented for
signature A reply to these communica-
tions is expected by the minister before
the end of the week The minister ex-
poets to present the answer of Colombia
to the proposed notifications this week
and then to set aside the matter until
the autumn.
In the preparation of the canal treaty.
the known temper of the American Con
gress and that of the Columbian Legis-
lature must be taken into consideration
and reconciled as far as possible. 1t is
believed the United States Government
will profit by its unpleasant experience
with the Danish West Indian treaty and
hold that the canal convention must be
ratified by Colombia instead of by the
United States. This ratification requires
a majority vote from both Houses OF the
Legislature. The notifications to the
treaty are important ones as they touch
the main point at issue between the two
countries sovereignty over the canal
strip. and are not to be settled without
mature consideration.

TOOK ANOTHER TACK
RENEWED EFFORTS TO GET
GREENE AND GAYNoR.
Application Framed Precisely in Ac-
cordance with the Extradition
Treaty-Some Delicate Dues
tons May Come UP Later.

Washington. July 15.-The officials here
who are seeking to secure the extradi-
ton from Canada of Greene and Gaynor
are now feeling more confidence in the
success of their efforts.
The reason for their optimism Is a
change in the method of procedure, they
having framed their application for the
extradition of the men precisely in ac-
cordanps with the language of the extra
dition treaty.
This was done on the ground that the
language of the treaty relative to re
ceiving any money. valuable security, or
other property knowing the same to
have been embezzled. stolen or frau.
dulently obtained" actually fits the Of
Tense of which the men are alleged to
have been guilty.
1t Is expected that the Canadian court
thus will be relieved of the necessity of
ruling on the objection made by the de-
PENDANTS that the crime charged in the
indictment does not correspond with the
treaty.
Under the new application the court
simply will be requir ed to decide whether
or not a prima facie case of receiving
Gaynor ard Greene.
If the men are surrendered under extra
dition proceedings the Georgia courts will
be Obliged to decide the difficult and deli
cate question whether Gaynor and
CT eene can be tried for conspiracy, as
indicated. afta> having been ordered from
Canada on a warrant which does not
charge that offense.

FLAMES BEYOND CONTROL
Mouths Of Wells Covered by
Mud and Water.
Jennings, La, Oil Properties May
All Be Destroyed-Experts
from Beaumont to Assist
Fighting the Blaze.

New Orleans July ia special to The
Picayune from Jennings La. says:
During the heavy electrical storm that
passed over the Jennings oil field about
noon, a bolt of lightning struck the field
storage tanks of the Jennings OIL COM
pany, setting them on fire, which en-
tirely consumed them.
The flames then spread to the de:ricks
of the company. and in a short time
they were also destroyed BY the time
the derricks had fallen. the flames had
eaten away a portion of one OF the field
tanks. allowing the oil to escape. which
flowed in burning streams in the dlrec-
ton Of Coulee.
The workmen at the field Immediately
stopped operations and set about throw
ing up leeves to prevent, as far as pos
sible. the spreading of the fire to the
adjoining derrlcks. BY the time this was
completed. the second tank had broken
loose. and the wind had driven the
flames into the dcrricks Of the Southern
and Northern and Crescent Oil COM
panies. How they managed to escape
catching FIRE remains a mystery.
The safety of the field now depends
on the strength of Jennings No. 2. The
oil is leaking around 1t and together with
the gas Is burning fiercely. shooting a
blaze about ten feet into the air.
telephone message from the field late
this evening saws that 1t Is impossible
to Etop ths fames, and that the gate
valve will hold but short while longer.
II this gives away before all precautions
that can be arc taken, the entire field
will be destroyed
The workmea are now engaged in re-
moving the deTrlcks Of the remaining
companies and burying the mouths OF
the wells underneath a heavy coating Of
mud and water
1t is authoritatively reported here that
a special train bearing experts will ar
rive from Beaumont, who will be at once
taken to the field to assist in saving the
remaining property from destruction.

THE GUNBoAT MARIETTA.
It Proceeds to Venezuelan Waters
from Cape Haytien.

Washington, July 15.-The Marietta.
which arrived at Kingston, Jamaica. to-
day from Cape Haytien, was met there
bv the cable instructions despatched from
the Navy Department yesterday ordering
her to proceed to La Guayra, Venezuela.
in response to Minister Bowen's appeal
yesterday for an additional ship in those
waters.
The operations OF the revolutionists and
the Government troops are now rather
critical at several points. and although
two American warships already are in
Venezuelan waters. another may be need
ed for prompt communication. The To-
peka, which sailed from La Guayra sun
Gav arrived today at Curacao. whence
il is reported that 900 revolutionists are
