new NORMAL COURSE.
One is Adopted by the Board of
Regents.

Hays City, March 22-Among the
items of business transacted during the
two days session of the normal school
board held here was the approval of
the new course of study for the two
schools. The branch at Hays City will
offer the first two years of the English
course and students who complete this
part of the course >at either school will
receive a one year certificate.
The board ordered that the elemen-
tary course of the state normal school
be abolished after 1904 and that after
June, 1905, the only diploma issued be
for four year course without any dis
erection as to whether any language is
taken in completing that course.
The board adopted as a standing reso-
luton the declaration that the teachers
are to be retained for the following
year unless they may have rendered
their designations by April 1 or shall be
notified by the close of the April board
meeting that their services are not de-
sired for the next year.

He Is Said to Have Secured
Control of the Property.
A Purchase of the Moore, Leeds
and Reid Holdings.
THROUGH TO COAST.
Arrangements For Service Be-
tween ChicagO-LOs Angeles.
Southern Pacific Crews and En-
gines From Ell Paso.

Chicago, March 22.-In well informed
railway circles today it was asserted
with positiveness that the Hartman
interests had secured control of the
Rock Island by a purchase of the
Moore, Leeds and Reid holdings. The
rumor came from sources which leave
no doubt that great changes will take
place in the western railway world
within 80 days. It is said that after
having parted with their Rock Island
holdings at a profit of nearly $50 a
share, the Moores began acquiring the
Northwestern stock with view to ac-
curing control-and later selling at a
profit, as they are credited with having
done with the Rock Island.
Color is lent to the report by the fact
that announcement is about to be made
that the Rock Island and the Southern
Pacific have entered into a long-term
agreement whereby the former will be
able to operate solid trains between
Chicago and Los Angeles by way of Ell
Paso. The agreen ent provides that
shall be used from Ell Paso. This an
the Rock Island extending it's lines from
Ell Paso to the Pacific coast, which it
was certainly contemplating, and re-
moves from the Southwestern field a
dangerous competition.
The Moores have been credited with
holding $25, 100000 worth of Rock Island
stock, which is said to have cost them
on an average of $135. According to
the report of the sale. they are credited
with having realized between $S,000,000
and SIC, 900 900 on their purchase.

InsuIar Division of the War De-
partment Reports
On What the u. s. Army Has
Done For Havana.
FALL IN DEATH RATE.
Average is Only About % Per
Cent of Former Times.
Not a Case of Yellow Fever in
Three Months.

Washington, March 22,-An interest
ing statement concerning the improve
ment in health conditions In Havana
since the American occupation of Cuba
with special reference to the vital sta
tistics for the calendar year 1901 has
been made public by the insular divis-
ion of the war department.
Particular attention is paid to the
purging of the city from yellow fever
during the past year by the destruction
OF infected mosquitoes. 1t is of vast i'm
portance, the statement says, that these
facts should be known to the world ex-
tensively and as rapidly as possible.
During the past 40 years with scarce
ly an exception some deaths have oc-
CURED from yellow fever in every month
of the year; the maximum 2.05S taking
place in 1857; the minimum 81 deaths
in 1866, with the average Isl. The num-
Der of other infectious and contagious
diseases has been small during the cal
endar year 1901. There has been very
little diphtheria and typhoid fever and
the tuberculosis rate is about that of
most cities of civilized countries. A
rapid decrease has taken place since
American occupation marked de-
crease in malaria also has occurred since
the mosquito work begun. The state
ment concludes: THE army took charge
of the health department of Havana,
when deaths were occurring at the rate
of 21,252 per year. 1t gives it up with
deaths occurring at the rate of 5,720 per
year. 1t took charge with smallpox cpl
demic for years. 1t gives it up with not
a single case having occurred in the
city for over IS months. 1t took charge
with yellow fever epidemic for two cen
turtles. 1t found Havana feared as a.
thing unclean by all her neighbors of
the United States and quarantined
against as too dangerous to touch or
even to come near anything that she
had touched to the untold financial loss
of both Havana and the United States.
1t has esta blished the fact that yellow
fever is only transmitted by a certain
species of mosquito, a discovery that in
it's power for saving human life is only
excelled by Jenner'S great discovery
and as time goes on it will stand in the
same class as that great boon to man
kind.
THE army has stamped out this dis
ease in it's greatest tronghold-there
have been only five deaths in the last
nine months of the past year and no
deaths and no cases during the last
three months of the same year and it
has demonstrated a system by which
yellow fever can certainly be controlled
without interference to commerce."

RAN Down TRAIN
Novel Method Adopted by Train
Dispatcher
To Prevent a Collision of Fast
Freights.
UNDER SAME ORDERS.
He Had Given Both Right of
Way on Same Track.
Got Out Special and Over
hauled One in Time.

Indianapolis, Ind. March PA mad
race with a switch engine after a fast
freight train which had been given the
right of way and was drawing closer
every moment upon another train
which was advancing under similar
orders. was the method utilized to pre-
vent a wreck on the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern railroad.
The dispatcher at Washington gave
a fast freight at Shoals the right of
way over another fast freight which
was at Washington east-bound, the
orders put both trains on the main line
with the right of way. a few moments
after the east-bound train pulled out
the dispatcher discovered his mistake,
and abandoning his instruments flew
to the railroad yards and demanded an
engine. One was standing on the track
and in moment it was switched to
the main track, the throttle thrown
open and the race began to overtake
the rapidly moving train. 1t hap
pened to be a long and exceedingly
heavy train, and ten miles out from
Washington the red lights on the ca
booSe were distinguished.
Every available pound of steam was
crowded on and the engine came up
behind the train just before it reached
a way station, where it was run in on
a switch. The loss of another minute
would have brought the two trains to-
gether.

FREE CUBA MAY |
Active Preparations For Turn
ing Over the Government.

Washington, March 22.-Gen. Wood,
military governor of Cuba, arrived here
today and is the guest of President
Roosevelt. The main object of his visit
to Washington at this time is to ar
range with the president and the sec
rotary of war for the transfer of active
control of affairs in Cuba to the Cuban
republic. Soon after his arrival Gen.
Wood went to the war department and
had a long talk with Secretary Root
regarding the condition of affairs in
Cuba. Subsequently the two officials
went to the White House and had a
conference with the president.
The principal arrangements for the
military evacuation of the island will
be made quickly. Gen. Woods plans re-
quire that he shall leave here not later
than next Tuesday night on his way
back to Havana to carry into execution
the programme fixed by the administra-
ton for the formal transfer of govern
ment affairs. He will return to Cuba
by way of New York in order that he
may meet and consult fully with Presi-
dent-elect Palma upon the joint pro-
gram me of action.
President Palma will be inaugurated
May l and American control in the ISL
and will terminate on that date.
Owing to the short time intervening
and the extent and importance of the
work involved. it will be necessary to
act promptly.

Gen. Wood Says 90 Per Cent is
Insufficient
As a Reduction i'm the Tariff on
Cuban Products.
1T SHOULD BE So 1-3.
That Amount i'm Sugar is Neces-
Sary
And Would Not Damage Amy
American Interest.

Chicago, March Ex-Governor General
Wood holds that the contemplated re-
duction of 20 per cent in the Cuban
tariff is not sufficient.
1.-The island is ready now to be turn
ed over to the Cubans,' said General
Wood to the Tribune's correspondent at
Savannah, Ga, where he stopped on his
way to Washington from Havana.
Il probably will remain in Cuba a
few weeks after the change in govern
ments, and we will probably keep few
troops on the island for a time after
the change. 1t seems to be the wish of
the Cubans that we do that
General Wood says that unless a
greater reduction in the Cuban tariff
on sugar than 20 per cent is made, a
crisis may soon be reached in the is
lands affairs. The people are depend
ing upon the United States giving them
a market for their sugar and tobacco,
and they have every reason to expect
that this government will give them
the relief
1T is absolutely necessary to the well
fare of the island that the tariff on
sugar be reduced not less than SO 1-3
per cent. We may as we'll make up our
minds to that, if the island is to pros
per, and we are responsible for the fu-
ture of the island and it's prosperity.
L do not believe a reduction of SO
per cent on Cuban sugar and tobacco
would be detrimental to anyone in the
United States

NOT QUITE $4,000
Registration Stopped Only 300
Short of That Number.

The registration books closed at 10
o'clock Friday night, and as early as
can be estimated at the present time
the total registration of the city of To-
peka for the city election on April l
is II, 632. When the books are checked
over and the necessary corrections
made, it may be found that the total is
something less than 100 smaller than
the above figure. Duplicate registra-
TONS spoiled and Cancelled certificates,
usually reduce the total shown by the
number of stubs in the possession or
the commissioner at the close of regis
tration.
This evening the board of supervisors
of elections, composed of members or
the city council, one from each ward,
will meet at the office of the election
commissioner to revise the registration
The board will hear all appeals from
the decision of the commissioner OF
elections, and will let the contract for
furnishing meals to the judges and
clerks of election.
1t will be impossible to tell the total
regiStratio of the various wards until
the work of copying the names from
the stub books into the registration
books is completed. AT present the
names are not distributed according to
wards.
A registration of II, 632 on an off year
has never before been reached in To-
peka- Last year, with a mayor and
other important city officials to elect,
the registration was 10000
City Clerk Squires discovered yester-
day that the park bond proposition
must be submitted to the voters on
separate ballots. Every male voters at
the coming election will have two ball
lots to mark. One will be for council
men and members of the board of edu-
cation. The other will be on the bond
proposition. This new regulation is
necessary because of the election law
passed by the last legislature. Women
are not allowed to vote on the question
of voting bonds.
