elsewhere, shall, in the brosdest and
most liberal manner encourage in
vestigation, research and discovery;
encourage the application of knowl-
edge to the improvement of man
kind, provide such buildings, labora-
tories, books and apparatus as may
be needed, and afford instruction Of
an advanced character to students
whenever and wherever found, inside
or outside schools, properly qualified
to profit thereby.
"These and kindred objects may
be attained by providing the neces-
sary apparatus for experimental
work, by employing able teachers
from the various institutions in
Washington or elsewhere, and by
enabling men fitted for special work
to devote themselves to it, through
salsried fellowships or scholarships,
or through salaries with or without
pensions in old age, or through aid
in other forms to such men as con.
tinue their special work at seats Of
learning throughout the world.

FOR BETTER RATES,
Farmers and Shippers and Railroad Mssnatss
Will Confer.

Davenport, June 16.-Arrangements
are being made for meeting to take
place in this city before the harvesting
season between farmers and shippers
from all parts of the Big Bend and
Presidents Hill, Hartman and Mellen,
Of the three great railroads.
The meeting will be for the purpose
of coming to some satisfactory agree
ment concerning railroad freight charges
and thus ending the agitation for lower
wheat rates.
Each precinct in the Big Bend will
be entitled to send one or more farmers
as delegates. The public will be admit
ted to the conference, but only those
chosen to represent their communities
will be entitled to take any part in the
proceedings.
The intention is to get the shippers
together, so that they can be questioned
as to their grievances. No debate will
take place and the meeting is intended
to be mutually beneficial. At present,
because of the high rates, there is but
little profit in wheat raising, and only
the fruit of the first grade can be ship
ped, while potatoes and other garden
vegetables cannot be shipped at all.
1t is thought that if these conditions
are made plain to the traffic managers
they will make concessions that will
enable the farmers of the Big Bend to
produce wheat on higher margin and
TO engage in orcharding and gardening
as occupations.

w. l.. Waller, L. S. Marine Corps, by
far the most interesting parsonage to
reach here on the transport Warren,

measures, said Major Waller in an in

wounded and dead mutilated. l can

which we found some of the bodies OF
men under my command who were
murdered by insurrectos. l received
both verbal and written orders from
Gen. Jacob Smith to kill all insurrec-

fused to surrender. 1t was the only
thing that could be done. and l never

one exception. This exception | refuse

MORGAN MOVING.
Promoter May forestaIl Contemplated British
Steamship Combine.

London. June 13.-While many pos
tive statements respecting the British
anti-Morgan combine are printed, it is
probable that nothing will be done I'M
til the conference of imperial premiers
meets.
Mr.. Morgan is not wasting time in
London, however, and shipping men
and colonial officials frankly confess
that he may succeed in obtaining con-
troll of the Cunard and Elder Dempster
interests while the British cabinet is
yulling itself together and Mr.. Cham
berlain and Sir Wilfrid Laurier are
seeking to draw Australia into the SUBJ
sidy scheme.
1t is intimated that j. P. Morgan
has made an offer to the British govern
ment under the terms of which the
government can secure all the vessels in
the combination under the Britiash flag
for long term of years, and which
would allow them to carry members of
the naval reserve then as now.

FOR RECIPROCITY
PRESIDENT SENDS ANOTHER MES
SAGE TO CONGRESS
Urging the Necessity for Immediate Action.
We Have Helped Her to Gain Independence
and Should Continue to Help Her Until
She Is Able to Stand Alone. Recent Dis.
closures Ignored.

| Washington, June IA. - President
Roosevelt sent a special message to con-
gress reiterating his former recommend
ations for the passage of a law creating
reciprocity with Cuba and presenting
additional arguments thereon. The
message contains no reference to the re-
cent disclosures regarding the appro-
priation by Gen. Wood of Cuban funds
for the circulation of reciprocity litera-
ture.
After quoting extracts from his first
message urging reciprocity, the presi-
dent says; 81 have received by cable
from the American minister in Cuba,
a most earnest appeal from President
Palma for legislative relief before it is
too late, and Cuba financially ruined"
The message then goes on to say that
the United States is deeply concerned
with getting friendly reciprocal ar
rangement with Cuba. this arrange
ment to apply to all articles that Cuba
grows or produces. In the presidents
Judgment, no American interest would
be hurt, and many would be benefited
by the proposed action. He declared
that it was to our advantage as nation
that the growing Cuban markets should
be controlled by American producers.
In closing, he said:
"We are a wealthy and powerful ma
ton.
Cuba is young republic, still weak,
who owes her birth to the United
States, whose whole future, whose very
life must depend on our attitude toward
her. | ask that we help her as she
struggles along the painful and difficult
road of self-governing independence.
l ask this aid for her because she is
weak, because she needs it, and because
we have already aided her. l ask that
the Cubans be given all possible chance
to use to the best advantage that free
dom of which Americans have such a
right to be proud and for which so many
American lives have been sacrificed"

CONv|CTS AT LARGE
Merrill and Tracy Break Through.
Gordon Of Deputies and
Militia and Escape.

Portland, June 13.-The populace
of three counties is aroused to the high
est pitch over the daring outbreak for
liberty of Harry Tracy and David Mer-
rill, the cOnvicts who escaped from the
Oregon penitentiary Monday, after
shooting to death three prison guards.
They have been hunted with blood
hounds for four days by posse of near
ly 200 armed men; they have been shot
at a dozen times, and they are still at
large They daring deeds have terror
lied the inhabitants of the country
through which they have passed, and
every demand of the outlaws is COM
piled with by the terror-stricken farm
ers. They have eaten at least two
meals day since their fight began,
and upon entering farm house they
boldly announce that they are the fugi-
tive convicts.
The fugitives were surrounded In
stretch of woods, and Sheriff Durbln,
leader of the posse, believed that there
was no chance of escape, the pickets
being only $50 yards apart.
At "a. M, Charles Tub, one OF the
guards, decided to move back to more
commanding position so yards away
He had scarcely taken up his new posi-,
ton when one of the cenvicts cllmDed
over the fence at the exact spot luh
had left. Tub was armed with shot
gun loaded with buckshet. He fired al
the outlaw four times without effect.
While this was happening the other
convict climbed over the fence AT
point 100 yards or more away. Inc
desperadoes went on their way together
unmolested for hours.

SUSTAIN HEAVY LOSS.
Alabama Town Consumed by Fire-AppeaIs
for Help and Food.

Opelika, Ala. June 13.-Alexander
City, place of 1900 inhabitants, was
wiped away by fire, the loss reaching
at least $750.0OO. and the insurance
will not begin to cover it. The fire
originated in foundry and machine
works. A light wind was blowing and
the fire spread from building TO build
ing until the entire town was ablaze.
The place had no water works and all
the terror stricken people could do was
to save what belongings they could and
then flee from the awful heat. The
station of the Central Georgia rail
way was burned with all its contents.
The railroad has established its tele-
graph line under a tree and appeals ion
help and food are going out.

"a fair estimate of the number of
natives killed by the members of my
command would be 400 to 500. These
were all killed in battle with the eX-

and shot. There was only one woman
shot, and she was only slightly wound
