DOOMED TO DISSOLUTION.
First Break in the Ranks Of the West
ern PASSENGER Association.

Chicago, April 3.-The Western
Passenger association; the largest or
ganization OF the kind in the country,
embracing every railroad running west
from Chicago and st. Louis and many
others in territory east of the Missouri
river, according to The Tribune, is
doomed to dissolution. - -. @
Formal notice of withdrawal from
the association, given by John Sebas-
tian, general passenger agent of the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific rail
road, in The Tribune's opinion un-
doubtedly will be followed promptly by
some of the most important roads in
the association.
The Western Passenger association
was organized about 20 years ago and
has been reorganized six times. The
present chairman, E. E. Macleod, was
elected to that position on June l,
1899, resigning the position of assist
ant general passenger agent of the
Rock Island system to take the place.
His predecessor as chairman was 3. D.
Caldwell, now traffic manager of the
Lackawanna railroad. The first chair
man of the association was J.. H. Hi
land, now traffic manager of the St.
Paul system. - e.,
1t is probable, continues The Trib-
kne, that the Western Passenger asso-
citation will be reorganized and all il

lie places. On the trains there are
coaches orparts of coaches for negroes,
in the depots there are "colored wait
ing rooms and white waiting
rooms" Some of the other things
noticed on a. southern railway train
are .spittoons, which help keep the
floors Of the coaches clean, also the
renting of pillows for head rests to
passengers who do not take sleepers.
Chair cars are on all trains for use of
all passengers
The negro CT the south is cheerful,
easily amused and happy. They are
very fond of travel and excursions. A
circus in one of the larger towns is
sure to depopulate the colored popu-
lasion of the vicinity for miles around
and a part of the circus seats are al
ways exclusively set apart for the
darkey patrons. A circus at Little
Rock last summe- started excursion
trains on all the railroads two days
ahead Of the show and it took two
days to get the colored folks back
home after the circus had left town.
The interior of a big circus tent
where fully half of the seats are
crowded with dense array of dusky
faces is sight for northern eyes,
and when. the old clown gets off his
time honored jokes, the laugh that
follows aud spreads over the sea of
| black faces showing patches of ivory,
is like a silver lining to black

Britons and Beers Have Sharp En-
4 s,& gagement.

London, April 3--Lord Kitchener, in
q dispatch from Pretoria, announces
that the Second Dragon guard fought
sharp rear guard action near Bosch
mans Kop during the evening Of March
81. Four officers are known to have
been wounded. No further details of
the casualties have been received.
The column commander, Colonel
Lawley, detached the dragons with
the object of surprising Boer lager,
reported to have been located 10 miles
east of Boschmans Kop. The dra-
goons found the Beers, who strongly
resisted, and the dragons had to fight
a hard rear guard action in order to
regain the main column. The. heavy
firing called up Colonel Lawley and
his troops, who drove off the Beers.
The latter's loss is reported to have.
been heavy. XII IL .sa25

DELAY IN FILLING ORDERS.
Weak Point Of the British Locomotive
553S$ Manufacturers.

4 > VI Il
London, April 3.A parliamentary
paper Just issued gives corresponds
respecting the comparative merits Of
the 's "a American, r British and Belgium lo-
scomotives now in use in Egypt.
In dispatch to the foreign secre-
tary, Lord Lansdowne, Dec. 81, cover
ing a number of reports received from
railroad officers, the British diplomatic
agent and consul general in Egypt,
Lord Cromer, draws the general con-
cluslon that the main reason why so
many orders for railroad plants have
recently been given to the United
States is that the other manufacturers
were unable to guarantee the extra
ordinary rapfdity due to the system in
standardization. In regard to matter
OF price Lord Cromer finds the British
firms hold their own where special
designs have to be executed With re-
spect to the quality of British work it
Is at least equal and often superior to
American or Belgian work, while in
consumption Of coal the British en-
gines have a decided superiority over
the American, though not over the Bel
gian engines.
The British manufacturers weak
point is delay in executing orders. The
reports show that the American ten
ders promised delivery within one
third of the time required by the Brit
ish firms, while they offered to supply
standard locomotives of equal suitable
1ty 10 per cent below the British
price, though the latter's tenders for
locomotives built on Egyptian specifi-
cations were lower than the American

Alexandria, Mimi, April 3.-Gustaf
Larson, who is being examined for the
murder of Magnus Johnson, has con-
fessed he did the shooting. He impli-
Gated Andrew Jacobson, the second
man to be arrested, and both will no
doubt be. regularly held for murder.
Larson says Jacobson told him to
buy the revolver and do the shooting
for the money that was on the person
of the old man. Larson bought the re-
volver on Saturday and told Jacobson
he was ready. It was understood Lar
son was to have the money that was
on the old man and that Jacobson was
to loot the house.
Larson said he wanted to back out
at one time, but was told by Jacob
son that it he did SO he should die.
This threat SO frightened him that he
carried out the crime as it had been
planned

TRYING TO CORNER BOURBON.
julius kessIer Buying Everything on
the Market.

Chicago, April 3.--The Tribune's
Louisville (Ky.) correspondent says:
Julius Kessler of Chicago has just
purchased 10000 barrels of Bourbon
whisky on the local market, increasing
his holdings acquired in Kentucky
within the last few days to 10000 bar
rels. Mr.. kessler says he is buying for
his own use and that he is acting in
dependently Of the Kentucky Distiller-
les and Warehouse company. His
presence here has caused dealers and
distillers to advance the price of their
holdings and the rumor has started
that Mr.. Kessler is trying to corner the
Bourbon goods.
He says he wants $4,000 barrels.
Local whisky men say the goods can
not be found on this market.

Louisville, April 3.-James Mason, q
deaf mute, has been sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary after entering
a plea of guilty to the unusual charge
of stealing a Bible.
The fact that the time of the theft
he had concealed the sacred book in
some bed clothing belonging to Nance
Spears, the owner of the volume, and
had forgotten to send the clothing
back, added to the severity of the SEN
tence.
Judge Shackelford Miller, after SEN

ed to him by the judge and the officers

The SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.
Superintendent Devine Issues a Gem.
eral Circular on the Matter Of
Consolidation.
In Answer to Inquiries Made From.
Various School Districts Of
the State.
Matter Meets With Favorable Con-
sideration From the Directors
Of Rural Schools.
State Superintendent j. M. Devine

s#3S1 SCdI03 superintendent - M. LEVINE
has prepared circular letter covering
the matter of nsoHdation of rural
schools, for distribution among the
school boards and directors of the state,
to convey the departments ideas and
Information on the subject. Consol.-
Sdation has become so interesting
topic in school circles of the state re-
Gently, that the correspond of the,
department on this subject is too
yoluminous to handle separately, and
hence the circular has been prepared,
dealing with all phases Of the question
and intended to throw light on the
question from all sources Mr.. Device
states that the matter of consolidation.
has been discussed at teachers meet
ings in all parts of the state and At
school directors meetings and is every
where received with favor. # The only
hitch in the matter is the question of
expense, and while the department is
not in position to state just what the
expense Of hauling the children to
and from the colsol olidated school will
be, attention is called to the fact that
last year the number Of school child,
rem in the state was over $1,000 and
the average attendance in all the
schools was only a little over half that
number, showing that large number
of school children failed to attend
school, many Of them for the reason
that the distance to schools was SO
great, and weather conditions FREE
quently such that children could not
attend school. This falling off in at
tendance was largely in the country
districts, and it is pointed out that
with a means Of conveying all the
children to school, the schools would
do nearly twice the work, at very little
more expense. OF course, consolida-
stion is not urged in thinly settled
districts, but in counties where there
is good settlement, it is pointed out
that consolidation is the coming So
sution of the school problem.
Another thing the state superintend-
5ent points out, and that is the fact
that under this system country dig
trfcts would be able to have high
schools, as the cities do now. This
!. IS a matter which has not been con-
sddered possible in the past, but now
that the educational system Of the
state is changing. more attention is
being paid to the. possibilities of de-
Yeloping the country school system
