way has become general and on all tn
Hungarian state railways today traffic

their crews at the stations where each
happened TO be at that hour
The committee proposes to dispatch
trains to places along the line for the
purpose of bringing the strikers into
Buda Pest, but no passengers will be
carried on these trains. The men declare
they are willing to return to work if
their demands for increased pay which
they claim was promised them by Pre-
mier Tisza are granted, and the strike
leaders reinstated.

Premier Tisza declared the government
could not negotiate with the strikers,
had ordered troops to be summoned to
assist in the re-establishment of order
and had instructed the railroad and tele-
graph regiment to operate the railroads.

Another batch of 500 railroad men from
Fiume have been arrested. The men in

| ent Baxter and transmitted to Governor
1 Ferguson:
This institution was established by an
act of the general assembly of the ter
ritory in 1897 for the purpose of giving
| the colored people educational advant-
ages similar to those provided for the
white people at the normal schools the
Agricultural and Mechanical College and
the Territorial University. This act en-
powered the governor to appoint a board
Of regents, consisting of i've members,
to have charge of the university
1t will be seen from the above that the
Langston school is intended to do for the
colored people what three or four differ
ent schools do for white people. 1t can
be said without fear of successful contra
diction that outside of the school over
which Booker T. washington presides,
Oklahoma has the best schools for col
ored people in the United States. The
institution at Langston is a credit to the
colored people and a monument to the
good sense of Oklahoma. 1t shows that
the people of this territory are willing
to give the colored people opportunity
to fit themselves for good citizenship
President Page told correspondent of
the Eagle that there are at this time 20
students in the university. about half of
which are girls. There are thirteen
teachers and two matrons making fif-
teen in all. One of the sensible things
about the mana cement is that in regard
to the living There are two .dormftories
and all the work about them is done by
the students, which enables them to
board for Sc a month.
The girls do all of the cooking at their
dormitory and the boys go there TO eat.
The boys do all of the outside work and
the girls all inside except the scrubbing
The students are taught to work and
while the boys work on the farm and in
the shops the girls are taught all kinds
of Homework and to make their own
clothes. The students in this institution
do not get the idea that an education is
intended to fit them to live without work
President Page says that very large
majority of the students are church
members, and they have their Christian
organizations in the school. He says
there are no sectarian ideas taught in
the school, but the school each day is |
opened with singing. Bible reading and |
prayer. When asked how long it would /
take an ordinarily bright boy TO go |
through the institution. President Page |
said if he started in the primary de-
it would take him nine years.
This will give people who have not had [
he advantages of a collegiate course
some idea of the scope of learning in the
institution.
Z. p. McCabe of this city said today
hat he had drawn the bill creating the |,
"a, gston school and that the legislature
hat enacted it into law had Democratic
M iorty. Mr.. McCabe says he wants
he Democratic party to have the credit
or its share in this great institution.

Port Arthur, April 2o.-An instantane-

be valuable in determining the contro-
verted questions concerning it. Further
details of the disaster show that the eye
witnesses were surprised at the absence
of formidable report. An enormous
column of fire burst from the middle of
the battleship as the vessel sank. The
minor detonations heard were presum-
ably caused by the explosion of the mag

burned.

People who know conditions as they

Superintendent Miller has worked to
that end, but up to the present time,
such is not the case.
The West Virginian has not the
slightest prejudice against women
teachers and much less would it inti-
mate a word against the excellent
young ladies who have been named
as teachers in the Normal School, but
under existing conditions, we agree
with Professor Miller that the Fair

in the faculty.

At recent meeting of the Board
of Regents of the State Normal
Schools, some changes of teachers
took place which are of interest to
Fairmont people. Professor w. r.

The town is fearfully dirty and the

an appeal was made to the county

the town Thursday afternoon. AS the
