COMPLAINT was made to the police and
Friday evening Captain German went
up into that neighborhood and lying in
the grass until the proper time, made a
capture. A large force of boys gathered
and as the passenger train came along
it was met by fusillade of stones.
German captured the ring leader, who
gave the names of the balance of the
boys and next morning their arrest fol-
lowed. When brought into court be-
fore Justice Clarke yesterday morning
they all plead not guilty except Otto
Gering, although they admitted that
they had been putting piece. CT iron on
the rails. Gering was sentenced to pay
a fine of $40 and costs, but sentence
was afterwards suspended, pending the
prosecution of the other boys, who will
have their trial tomorrow morning. 1t
appears that there is gang OF these
boys that has been doing mischief
for some time. Not great while ago
the company's employees found rail
laid across the track in that same sec
ton of town that certainly would have
wrecked a train had it not been re-
moved. 1t is quite likely that at the
trial tomorrow some facts will be
elected that will cause the arrest of
other boys.

motion Of Asiatic trade few days ago
made an interesting statement regard
ing the cotton goods supplied to the
Chinese and foreign trade, coming
largely from this section.
These goods" said Mr.. Cleveland,
"are used as medium of exchange IN
some of the foreign countries, notably
in Abyisinia on the northwest coast
of the dark continent.
The goods so used are principally
the brown shcetings and drills, and
they are valued at the rate of 20 yards
to the dollar. These goods are re-
ccived as barter not only in the sea-
coast towns, but throughout Abysin-
ia. A considerable part OF these goods
are manufactured at Pelzer and Pied
mont and at Whitney and. other mills
of this section.
"The Asiatic trade is now very good,
Mr.. Cleveland says. land wholesome
demand is existing. One mill of this
section has sold several thousand
bales during the last few months for
the Asiatic trade, the goods being
shipped direct in corsignments OF
l 1,G00 bales each.
The mills, however would like to
secure better prices, the demand be-
ing better than the prices received.
The check to Chincst trade which was
due to the boxer uprising has entirely
vanished and the mills are enjoying a
very satisfactory Oriental trade at this
time"

EDUCATION BOARD ORGANIZED.
For Education in the South RockefeL
Ter Gives Hundred Thousand DOL
lars Year, for Ten Years.

The general education board recent
ly chartered by congress for the pro
motion of educational work in the Uni
ted States, organized in Washington
Thursday. The board consists OF w.
=. Baldwin, Jr., Wallace Buttrick,
]. L. NJ. Curry, Frederick T. Gates,
Daniel C. Gilman, Morris K Jesup'
Robert C. Ogden, Walter H. Page,
George Foster Peabody, John D. Rock
efel!er, Jr., and Albert Shaw. Mr.
Baldwin was elected chairman, Mr'
Peabody treasurer, and Mr.. ButtrlcA
secretary and executive officer.
The business Offices Of the board
will be at 116 Nassau street, Ne"
York city. One OF it's main objects IS
the promotion of rural free schools in
the southern states, although the char
ter contemplates educational work IN
all parts of the United States. Pend
ing the granting of the charter, the
board has been at work for year un'
der articles of association.
At the beginning OF its work a
generous friend" as stated by the
board, subscribed 100000 year for a
period of ten years, which sum, the
board says, has enabled the demon
stration of the possibility Of effective
work aud the practicability of philan'
thropic cooperation with tho public
authorities. It developed later that
this donor was John D. Rockefeller.
Other sums of money, smaller IN
amount, also have been received.
The board issued the following an
nouncement:
"In developing its constructive pre-
gram to aid rural authorities, state
superintendents of public instruction
in Virginia. North Carolina, Georgia.
Alabama and Louisiana have held con.
ferences of all their county superin'
tendents, at which the executive Of
Gcer of the general educational Doaro
has been a most welcome guest. He
has ACCEPTED an invitation to meek
the county superintendent of Flor
ida at Gainesville in that state next
week. The knowledge thus acquired
and the relations established have
convinced the board tnat the oppor'
tunities are now at hand tor wise and
prudent investment of large sums Oh
money to promote the education OF
all the people throughout the southern
states. The fact is demonstrated that
no wiser or more patriotic opportunity
for philanthropy is before the people
"The board is now organized to re-
ceive funds designated for the further
prosecution of the work begun, to act
as trustee for the holding and invest
ment Of funds designated for the bene
fit of institutions Of learning. and to
Day over the annual income OF such
funds under the terms of the trust, to
see that funds given conditionally 10
institutions through the board are dis
tributed in strict accordance with the
conditions. Funds held by the gener'
al education board are free OF taxa
tion."

CANAL TREATY IN PERIL.
President and Secretary Hay Alarmed
over Attitude Of Senator Morgan
In Opposition to Ratification.

A Washington special says: An i'm
portant conference was held at the
White house Saturday, the partici'
pants being the president, Secretary
Hay and Senator Cullom, chairman o.
the foreign relations committee OF the
senate. The subject under discussion
was the status of the Panama canal
treaty.
The situation, with regard to the
treaty as it has developed in the SEN
ate is giving the administration and
it's supporters grave concern. The
president is exceedingly anxious that
the treaty should be ratified at the
earliest possible moment. The con-
ference held Thursday was with view
of ascertaining, if possible, what could
be done to hasten consideration Of the
treaty by the senate. 1t is quite GER
tain that the advices received by the
president are not reassuring.
An effort is 10 be made 10 get the
treaty out of committee with a favor
able report. That the effort will be
successful is reasonably certain, but
it's troubles in the present view OF the
matter will only have begun.
Senator Mcrgan, chairman of the
committee on inteT-Oceanic canals,
takes the ground that the negotiations
conducted by the state department
with Mr.. Herran. representing Colon
btas are not valid, as lie holds that Mr..
Herran did not possess the necessary
authority to make treaty binding on
his country, and it is understood he
will use his utmost efforts to defeat
the treaty in its present torn. Indeed,
the intimation has reached the presi-
dent that when the treaty is called up
for final consideration in the senate,
amendments will be offered to almost
every section of 1t. 1t is stated defn
itely that another amendment to the
treaty would imperil the entire canal
project, as the government of Colon
bia might hesitate to accept amend
ments made to it, particularly if they
involved essential details or princi-
pies.
During the conference the situation
was considered carefully, but what
decision, if any, was reached, could
not be ascertained.
It is known only that an earnest ef-
fort is to be made in the senate to So
cure ratification of the treaty at the
present session.

FOURTEEN MILLIONS
Is Claim of the Allies That Little
Venezuela Must Pay.
BOWEN'S PLAN MEETS FAVOR
British, German and italian Anbassa.
dors Urge Their Governments
to Accept and Lift the Block
ade at Once.

A Washington special says: The
British and German ambassadors and
Count Quadt, the German charge
d'affaires, Wednesday night called on
Mr.. Bowen, Venezuela's representa-
tive in the negotiations, looking to a
raiaing of the blockade and settle
ment of the claims against Venezuela.
The conference was by appointment,
and at the request of the representa-
tives of the allies. 1t IS believed that
the purpose was to present the claims
of the allies to preferential treatment
in payments over those nations which
have not exerted physical pressure on
Venezuela, but it was impossible to
get any direct information on this
point.
The conference broke up at 1890
o'clock, and the Representatives of the
allies proceeded at once to their
homes. 1t was made known that no
agreement had yet been reached for
the raising of the blockade, and that
further word must be awaited from
Europe before this state of the nego-
tiations is passed. Mr.. Bowen made
the following statement:
eve have been discussing tonight
certain points which needed to be
clearly understood. They have been
referred to US for consideration and
our views are now to be communicat-
ed at once to Rome, London and Ber-
liu."
The further statement was made af-
ter the conference that there was ab-
solutely no foundation for charges
that Germany was delaying the sign
ing of the preliminary protocol. The
representations considered emanated
from the London foreign Office.
Fourteen Millions Asked.
The Italian ard British ambassa-
dors and the German charge d'affaires
at d joint conference "Wednesday
agreed TO cable their governments
urging prompt acceptance of Mr..
Bowen's last proposition, to enable
the lifting of the Venezuelan blockade
at once. In this cablegram, which
was sen at noon, was suggested
that consideration of the details OF
the proposition be postponed until al
ter the signing of the preliminary pro-
tocol.
Signor Mayor des Planches, the Ital-
ian ambassador, as the ranking rep
resentative of the allies, called on
Mr.. Bowen during the afternoon and
informed him of the dispatch of the
joint cablegram to the powers and ex-
pressed tn ehore that it would expe-
dite the arrival of the final answer.
Partial confirmation has been OBJ
tanned of cable dispatches that Bel
gium is to take prominent part IN
the administration of the customs re-
ceipts. Mr.. Bowen declines to discuss
the details of his plan, however, until
the blockade has been raised. Late in
the day he gave out a brief statement
of the diplomatic debt of Venezuela
and the methods for its future adjust
ment. in round numbers this debt
amounted on December 81, 1901 to
something over S14,000,>C0, and con-
sisted Of claims which had been pre-
viously adjusted. Mr.. Dowen's plan
provides that 13 per cent of the Gus
toms receipts of all the venezuelan
ports shall go toward the payment or
this debt.

men are showing disposition to take

: 1t is claimed that the middle man
will be unable to secure the prices
which the spinners adopted at their
Charlotte meeting. The market is re-
