SUPERINTENDENT CARY MAKES
APPoRTioNMENT.
MANY MORE APPLICANTS
Growth of Wisconsin Educational Sys-
tenn Makes $4,000 Too Small to
Carry Out the Original contempIa-
ton of the Law-Inspectors' Sala-
ries Deducted.
Madison. Aug. 20.

NhouiSOi, AUS -Vs
State Superintendent Cary yester-
day announced the apportiopment of
the state fund for the aid of free grad
ed schools. The fund amounts to $780,
600. Out of this is first taken, accord
ing to the provisions of the law, the
salaries and expenses of the two grad
ed school inspectors. Then the re-
mainder is divided pro rata among the
graded schools of the first and second
classes.
The apportionment this year gives to
141 schools of the first class S277.95
each and to 1872 schools of the second
class $9265. The original law con-
templated that each school of the first
class should receive $500 and each
school of the second class should re-
ceive 500 The number of schools,
however, has increased to such an ex-
tent that the available fund of 100000
is not sufficient to carry out the con-
temptation of the original law and
the pro rata apportionment results.
The applications from new graded
schools for inspection and allowance
under this fund are coming to Super
intendent Carys office frequently.
Each year a number of second class
schools are enlarged and improved so
as to come under the higher classified
ton. The amount of the apportion-
ment among the schools was S39, 1908
for the first class schools and SIT ,162.-
80 for the second class schools, max
ing total of s56,34325 apportioned
among the schools and the other
$3,656.75 being expended for the sala-
riss and allowed travelling expenses
for the two inspectors.

Buenos Ayres, Aug. 20.-The Para

Asuncion, have seized a government
steamer and made prisoners the min

on board. The vessel was towing four
lighters loaded with 100 bullocks for

At conference on an insurgent
steamer, after the bombardment of
Asuncion Wednesday, between the in
surgents and the ministers of Argen-

surgents said that after the ministers
left the vessel they fired two more
shots, one at the house of President
Ezecuria and the other at a church
concealing a battery, in order to de-
monstrate the excellence of the artil-

Shots were fired and the presidents

the ministers and other high officials.
The insurgents terms were con-
eyed to the government officers, who
promptly declined to accede. The in
surgents then sent an ultimatum, de-
handing the surrender of the capital
within "a hours, saying that should the
demand not be granted the lombard

Gals are silent. The people await

Why StoesseI Refuses to Yield.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 20.-The re-

inability to defend the fortress.

 The two great parties have framed their platforms and chosen their candi- dates These candidates have given forth in formal speeches their views upon the great questions of the day. The broad outlines of the Presidential campaign of 1904 have been marked out. What now remains is to furnish color and detail to these outlines.
 The leading issue of the campaign will be this: Which would make the more successful chief magistrate for this republic during the coming four years, Theodore Roosevelt or Alton Brooks Parker?
 Insofar as he has yet revealed him. self, Judge Parker is a rather neutral character. There is nothing particular ly positive in either his personally or hs career He has been a clean lived honorable citizen and an upright jurist Beyond this not much is known of him Neither by his public acts nor by his public sayings has he afforded any
 gauge wherewith to measure his size as
 a public man. His political experience ended twenty years ago when he was

 He has made 1t clear that he now be- Ilieves in the gold standard, although he voted for free silver in 1896 and 1900
