 The students, as far as they have ex- pressed themselves, desire to pursue a variety of callings upon their return to their island homes. Twenty-Five per cent of them expect to become teachers. Some desire to become civil engineers, others desire to pursue a commercial course, q few wish to study medicine, two are eager to enter the naval academy at Annapolis and then find employment in the coastwise service of the Philippines
 A few desire to study scientific agri- culture and it is suggested they be placed in some southern agricultural college in order to secure practical training in the cultivation of rice. sugar and cotton as well as acquaintance with modern agri- cultural instruments

FAvoRs THE RAILROAD.
Decision on Question of Cotton De-
 stroyed By Fire.

Washington. May 16-In two cases for damages against the Texas and Pacific Railroad company for cotton destroyed by fire during shipment, the supreme court of the United States today in opin- ions by Justice McKenna affirmed the opinions of the lower courts in favor of the railroad company. The main question involved in each case was caluse in the bill lading exempting the railroad company from liability for damages caused by fire.
 The effect of this clause was attacked on the ground that the carrier could not limit his common law liability without the consent of the shipper. and the mere contract of shipment was not such con- sideration; also that there must be re- dueed rate as an inducement, and both the lower and regular rate submitted to the shipper. The decision against these contentious was sustained. The suits were brought by Henry, Charnock and Jovite- eau.

New York May 1e.-Jimmy Britt and Young Corbett today were matched for the feather-weight championship of the world. The fight will take place in San Francisco, but the date has not been set. The articles stipulate however, that the men shall meet in the ring not later than December 31.
 Willie Britt. representing his brother, and Harry Pollok, Corbett's manager, crew up the articles, which stipulate that the date and other details for the contest shall be agreed upon at a meeting be- tween Britt and Corbett, or their repre- sentatives on September 15. The agree ment also provides that no bouts. other than three-round sparring contests, shall be engaged in before the fight Pollok sug- gested San Francisco and Britt lmmedi- etely agreed Britt insisted on the pro- vision of providing that no fight previous to the match should be engaged in.

CORTELYOU MAY BECOME
 THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN

country. He Is regarded as being ad- mirably equipped for the position. having fine executive ability and a thorough knowledge of men and affairs. If he should be elected national chairman he would resign his position in the cabinet and devote his entire time to the work of the campaign. In measure this would involve a personal sacrifice.
 It is asserted with emphasis that no absolute decision has yet been reached. but prominent men in the councils of the republican party have impressed on the President the desirability of Secretary Cortelyou's selection. It Is reasonably certain that J. W. Blythe. of Iowa. would be prominently identified with the con duct of the republican campaign in the west, and 1t is likely that he may be the vice chairman of the national committee or a sub-chairman in charge of the west ern end of the campaign. For a time he was urged by Senator Allen for the chair manship. but it is thought he will ac- cept the position herein indicated.
 Cornelius Bliss of New York. for many years treasurer of the national commit- tee, will again i'll that position.

AMOUNT RAISED FOR FOREIGN MISSIONS WILL REACH $35o,0oo. WORKERS NOW NEEDED MORE THAN MONEY.

Nashville, May 16--The forty-ninth Southern Baptist convention which has been in session here since Friday last, completed it's work tonight and adjourned to meet next year in Kansas City. It was announced that almost Ss50,O0O had been raised during the year for foreign mis- sions, and that now workers are needed more than money. Officers of the various church boards were elected as recom- mended.
 The convention adopted resolution ad- vocating the passage by congress of the Hepburn-Dolliver anti-jug bill and also a resolution calling on the United States government to take all proper steps to stop alleged barbarities in the Congo Free State.
 At the night session a resolution was adopted against Baptist ministers per- forming the rites of matrimony where one or both of the contracting parties have been divorced on other than scriptural grounds.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
 COMES TO THIS CITY
ARRANGEMENTS MADE WITH THE FRISCO FOR ENTRANCE TO NEW ORLEANS IS TO LAST FOR NINETY-NINE YEARS.

New Orleans, May 16.-One of a num- Der of contracts embracing the trackage agreement between the Illinois Central and the Frisco railroad to be filed in the parishes of Louisiana was recorded this morning in the Jefferson court house. This contract discloses the agreement un- der which the Frisco will gain it's entry into New Orleans over the Mississippi Valley tracks.
 In return for the use of the valley tracks from Baton Rouge down, the Frisco gives the Illinois Central an entry into the coal and iron fields of Birming- ham over the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham. In addition to this the Frisco pay an annual rental equal to 2 per cent of the cost of track construc- tion and shares half of the cost of main tenance. The contract is to run for ninety-nine years
