CONSTRUCT SHAMROCK III.
William Fife, the Scotch Builder, Ac.
cepts the Contract. !@

. .
London, Jan. 15.-William Fife of
Fairlie, >on the Clyde, is to build Sir
Thomas Lipton's next challenger for
the America's cup. At a conference
jus, held between Sir Thomas and his
advisers definite arrangements were
made for the construction of the Sham
rock III and an order for the new
yacht was given to and accepted by
Mr.. Fife. In view of the probability of
big revival of British yachting, and
the fact that designing and superin-
tending cup challenger necessitates
constant work for at least year, Mr..
Fife was somewhat disinclined to ac-
cept the contract, but Sir Thomas
found means of overcoming his objec-
fons. George H. Watson has promis-
ed to assist Mr.. Fife in every way by
handing over to him the details of the
construction of the Shamrock II and
all the calculations ard details of the
tank experiments made at the Denny's
yard. With these and experience gain
ed with the Shamrock Mr.. Fife starts
with a distinct advantage over his
first Efforts
Mr.. Fife is already collecting mate
rial and will commence designing the
Shamrock III so soon as the boats now
on hand for the next British yachting
season are fairly started, which prob
ably will be at the end of the month.
The Shamrock III is to be ready early
b the spring Of 1903.

EDUCATION IN CUBA.
President-EIect Palma Outlines His
- Policy.

President-EIect Palma Outlines His
Policy.
New York, Jan. 15.-The Journal
and American publishes the educa-
tional programme of T. Estrada Palma,
the president-elect of Cuba. Mr..
Palma in his statement says:
Agreeing that the future prospects
and hopes of my country depend upon
the plan of education I state the fol-
lowing as what think of the subject:
Comparing the poor condition of
the public schools in Cuba during the
Spanish administration with that
which prevails today, after three years
OF American rule, the improvement is
so great that we cannot but thank the
American government for it. I think.
however, that the whole system re-
quires particular attention, in order
that the work of general education
shall become practically more efficient
to the Cuban people. A system of
elementary instruction carried out
Wit modern methods, under compul-
sorry law for all and each one of the
Cubans, is the fundamental basis for
making citizens fully acquainted with
their rights and their duties. 1t is one
of the greatest obligations of the Gu
ban government to iispel the ignor-
ance. from one end of the . p-land to the
other, which has prevaileaSeor centur-
les there and to distribute conscien-
tiously the moral bread OF instruction
and knowledge. In the general sys-
tenn of primary and elementary edu-
cation both sexes are equally embrac-
ed, and the benefits of it ought to be
extended to the inmates of the jails
and asylums. For the purpose of oh.
tanning the best results we need to
keep ourselves in close contact with
the leading educational institutions of
the United States and other countries
which are at the head of civilization
in this important matter"

SAYS THE FACTS ARE TRUE.
Admiral schIey Endorses This Story
of the SANTIAGO Eiuht

Savannah, Ca, Jan. 15.--When Rear
Admiral Schley was questioned in ref
erence to his endorsement of the
forthcoming book on "Schley and San
tiago" by George Edward Graham he
said:
II have seen the proofs of Mr.. Gra-
hams book. It is the authors book
and was written at his own pleasure.
My connection with it had to do only
with reading over, at Graham's re-
quest, whatever in the book had refer
ence to statements of fact. As regards
the Santiago fight no one was better
prepared to write the history of that
battle than Mr.. Graham. He was there
in the thick of it. So far as reading
the book was concerned passed only
on its statements of fact. These
statements are true, They make up
the story of the fight as it occurred.
AS to Mr.. Graham's object in writ
ing the book, as to his championship
of me and as to his criticisms, had
nothing to do or say"

HOW THE SENATE STANDS.
Poll Of the Members on the Isthmian.
Canal Question.

- SAa " INV vi StiC ~
...rs Canal Question.
New York, Jan. 15.-The Herald's
Washington bureau has completed a
poll of the senate, with a view to as
certaining the sentiment on. the pend
ing offer of the Panama Canal COM
pany to sell to this government for
$4O,O0O,O00. al.
Seventy-two of the eighty-eight sen
ators were interrogated and their
views ascertained. Senators Aldrich,
Allison and Depew were absent, but
they are known to be in favor of
careful consideration of the Panama
offer, and they are therefore counted
with the majority.
The result of the poll shows clearly
that the senate is in favor of the con-
struction of an isthmian canal Only
one of the men interviewed (Senator
Teller of Colorado) declared himself
opposed to any canal.
The interview shows that, while a
large number of the senators are in
favor of the Nicaraguan route, there
is also clear majority who will insist.
that the Panama offer be given care
full investigation. ).

THE DEBATE CONTINUED.
House Resumes Consideration Of the
Pension Bill. ,sre


Washington, Jan. 15.-Before the
house resumed the debate on the pen
sion appropriation bill the speaker an
nounced the appointment of Mr.. Stew
art of New York and Mr. Livingston
of Georgia as directors of the Colum-
bia hospital for women, and Mr.. Rus
sell of Connecticut and Mr. Lanham Of
Texas as directors of the Columbian
institution for the instruction of the
deaf and dumb. Both institutions are
in the District of Columbia.
The house then went into committee
of the whole and resumed the consid-
Grafton of the pension appropriation
bill.
Mr.. Gardner (Mich.l, reverting to-
the speech of Mr.. Rixey Monday in
favor of opening the doors of National
soldiers homes to ex-Confederates,.
said he approved the suggestion. As
an ex-Union soldier he predicted that
the time would come, and at no dis
tant day, when the homes for disabled
veterans, built and maintained by the
common government, would be opened
alike to needy soldiers whether of the
Union or Confederacy. His expression
of the sentiment that it was better to
care for the destitute than care for the
graves Of the dead, immortal though
they might be, was greeted with a
round of applause on the Democratic
side.
Mr.. Miers (Ind), taking advantage
of the latitude allowed in general de-
bate, delivered speech on the general
political situation, mainly devoted to
the administration policy in the Phil
ippines. After three years, during
which 10000 soldiers had lost their
lives and countless millions of treas
ure had been expended, he said he be-
lieved that if the administration would
now declare a purpose to give indie
pendence to the Filipinos the war in
the archipelago would end in six

8 " TEN MINERS PERISH.
Result Of an Explosion. in an Indian
Territory Mine

South McAlester, l. T., Jan. 15.-Ten
miners lost their lives in the explosion
in Mine No. 9 of the Milby and Dow
Mining company at Dow, I. T.
The 10 men who lost their lives were
the only persons in the pit and none
escaped to tell the story. All the bod
les were recovered, and as none was
burned the conclusion is that death
was due to afterdamp. The explosion
did not injure the shaft which was a
new one and the fire that followed was
put out before it did much damage.
The sound of the explosion was
heard plainly above ground and res
cuers were at work promptly The
explosion occurred at a depth of 24G
feet. The machinery was not injured
by the explosion and miners working
at the mouth of the pit descended as
soon as it was safe.
The condition of the mine Indicated
that had presence of mind been exer-
cised the men might have escaped.
The bodies were found within a COM
paratively small radius. The last body
was brought to the surface before
midnight.
The victims have been in the employ
OF the company for some time and
most of them were men with families.

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Jan. 15.-The wheat
market made a great effort to rally
but suspicion still lurked in the pits
that there was more weak holdings to
market. Above II the bulls found Of
ferings were plentiful and on the other
hand bears were less aggressive Cables
were unnoticed although higher at the
start. Chicago receipts were 10 cars
and overrun the estimate 10 cars.
After the reaction started it was helped
on the way down by Cudahy and his
followers. Weather map promises
clear and mild weather over the wheat
bell. AS suggested yesterday it may
take couple of days to remove this
distrustful feeling but one extreme is
generally followed by another and the
more aggressive the bears are from
yesterdays opening will. make the re-
action that much sharper. We are
fiTm believers in much higher wheat
prices. The time to buy is when Of
ferings are the greatest.
Corn is proving good running mate
to wheat and the options are about
equally depressed, both speculatively
and on general news. Our preference
would be to take on wheat to corn as
the short interest by outsiders in corn
is an impossibility, while in wheat
they are learning to take the short
side. There was but S3 cars today,
none grading contract. The grading
is an Important factor but ait the pres
ent is passing unnoticed. Possibly
there still remains small amount un-
marketed of holdings by the Philips
company. Gables unchanged. Prim-
aIy receipts less than half what they
were year ago. Clearances $4,000
bushels.
& Oats are almost entirely dependent
on wheat for their strength. Until a
1 more confident feeling prevails we can
not look for any material change in
oats. Would sell May and buy the
July option.
Provisions are making grand stand
play during the grain weakness, show
ing that the hog is daily becoming
Weaned away from corn on account of
its scarcity. We still have faith in,
hog products and advise purchases on
all slight recessions. 5 s
New York, Jan. 15.-The same part
les who We're putting the bull pressure
to the stock market for the january
boom are today advising profit taking
and claim the short side is preferable
without any good reason. This, per-
haps, is to buy in some stocks which
they have recently marketed. Lon
don is dragging along but is less ag-
gressive on the bear side. The inter-
national list is about in line with the
general market and the first attempt
at covering will suddenly change this
! sentiment. SCI There is some renewal Of
talk on the Gas litigation but twill
only have temporary effect. The Pa
cifics are firm. fractions inclined to
heayiness owing to profit taking.
Mr.. Morgan expresses himself on the
prospects OF the near future. He will
be the leader in the course Of this mar
ket as the public have not shown any
great interest as to investment wait
ing for soft spots. AS the whole list
is not much changed and general news
unimpo ortant. Take reasonable profits
on long stock.

teen Days.
Santa Barbara, Cal, Jan. 15.-Adrift
in capsized boat on the Pacific II
days without food or drink was the
terrible experience of Captain Olson
and Pete Wallace, two crab fishermen,
and but one lives to tell the story of
their terrible sufferings. Olson was
picked up by Arthur Valdez, a fisher
man, just beyond the Kelp off Goleta.
He was more dead than alive, but was
able to tell Of the wreck of his boat,
the Belle a staunch gasoline
schooner which he and Wallace used in
cruising about the fishing grounds.
Olson and Wallace were residents
of San Pedro and left the port II days
ago. While cruising several miles
south of Santa Cruz island, a heavy
sea rose and capsized their craft
Clinging to the capsized boat without
food or water they drifted, suffering
tortures. IN the 14th day Wallace's
strength gave out and crazed and
starving he slid off the boat and dis
appeared under the waters. For three
days longer Olson held on and was
finally rescued, half dead from exhaus-
ton, by Valdez. 1t is thought he will
recover from the effects of his terrible
experience.
