The schoolhouse contained seven rooms
one filled with clay tablets arranged in
regular order. Most of the tablets being
unbaked, the Inscriptions have become un-
decipherable. Many tablets however
were in as perfect condition as when laid
aside AZ centuries ago by childish Baby
lonian hands.
Some of the tablets contained HYMNS ir

Washington Has Not Heard Of Landing
Of BIuejackets.

Washington, Nov. 4.-No confirmation
of the news from Colon. of the landing
of the blue jackets has heen received by
the state and navy department, but the

The landing of ammunition is supposed
to be for the purpose of fortifying the
railway house against attacks from the
Colombian troops and to afford safe
shelter for all the foreign residents. In
view Of the ample measures taken by
the United States. it is not expected any
foreign power will complicate the sit

to the isthmian waters.

sitting of the Marblehead, Wyoming

GIRL MESSENGERS
Rave Come to Stay in Boston, Say
Western Union Officials.

Boston, Nov. 4.-The girl messenger
service in Boston has come to stay.
according to Supt. Ames of the West
ern Union Telegraph Co. That official
liotilied Mayor Collins, today, that the
mayors request to the effect that the
employment of girls for the collection
and delivery of kilograms be done away
with, could not be complied with.
In commenting upon the messengers
situation, today, Mr. Ames said that
advertising for boys did not indicate
That the company again was to employ
boys as messengers. They We're hired
only to do the work at night and dur
ing the day for such duty as seemed to
call for the service of boys or men.
The order passed by the board of
aldermen calling for the removal of
the Western Union poles in Boston, an
order which 1t is understood was passed
in benalf of the boys, is still awaiting
the signature of the mayor.
Mayor Collins made public, today,
copies of correspondence which have
recently passed between him and Pres
ident Robert c. Clowry of the Western
Union Telegraph Co.
ern Union Co, Mayor Collins enclosed
a copy of the order passed by the
aldermen in relation to the removal of
poles, a copy of the resolution passed
by the common council, declaring that
the city's work should not be given to
the Western Union Co. and another
order relative to the subject. The
mayor then repeated what he had told
the Boston managers of the company,
practically that in his judgment public
sentiment was against the employment
of women as messengers and that an
understanding ought to be arrived at.
President Clowry's answer was as
follows:
New York, Nov. 3, 1908.
Hon. Patrick A. Collins, Mayor of
Boston:
g. Dear Sir-I beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your letter of Oct. 80 inclosing
copy of threatening resolutions of the
Boston board of aldermen and common
council, and suggesting an adjustment
of the alleged differences between this
company and some of it's former en-
pfoyes.
81 Ithank you for the interest you man
ifcst In our affairs and hasten to inform
you that our relations with all of our
employees in your city are harmonious
and satisfactory in every particular

LONDON INTERESTED.
More Concern Over Panama Situation
Than Over Election.

London, Nov. 5.-The morning papers
here display a greater interest in the
outcome of the revolution in the 18TH
mus of Panama than in the Democratic
victory in Greater New York. The
latter is looked upon with regret, but
it does not cause surprise inasmuch as
it is believed that the issues of the
election We're more of a national politi-
cal than of a municipal character
Concernign the Panama situation, the
view is expressed on all sides that the
United States is not unwilling to see
the success of the revolution which
would so greatly facilitate the success
full carrying out of the canal scheme
and while no paper expresses objection
to such a solution some are inclined to
think it would be best in the interest of
the civilization.
