The bonds of the others will be fixed
At a special session Of the court later.
The verdict accuses William Boyle
of killing John Davis, and Albert Bilat
Of killing Roscoe McGee.
The jury found that on the day OF
the riot an armed body of men, about
ninety members of the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners, assembled at Victor.
pursuant to a prearranged plan from
different parts of the country, and that
they were appointed special policemen
by Marshal O'Connell, but that they
were in fact an unlawful assemblage
or mob.
Before the riot, O'Connell was re-
moved from Office by the mayor and
his deputies, and were ordered by the
sheriff to disperse. Notwithstanding
this order, about fifty of them starter
riot, when Alfred Miller, one of their
number, attempted to kill c. c. Ham
line, and during the shooting MCGEE
and Davis were killed and others
wounded. Marshal O'Connell is charged
with shooting J. j. Horner in the back
during the riot.
The officers of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners are held responsible for
the crimes committed because of their
seditious and unlawful language.
Among those who, 1t is alleged. en-
couraged the crimes. are Charles H.
Meyer, w. D. Haywood, John G, Will
Jams and the members of the execu-
tive board as thus constituted.
Immediately after the verdict was
read, information was filed against the
Western Federation Of Miners and the
old executive committee.
Capiases for their arrest were placed
In the hands of the sheriff. Bond in
the case of the members of the execu-
tive committee was placed at $4,000.
The cases will be heard at the Sep
tember term of court.

FORECASTS GREAT STORMS
Hurricanes From the South and Cy
clones From the West.
A Washington Forecaster Says An.
gust, September and October
Will Bring Big storms.

Washington, July 2.-More severe
storms than have been experienced in
America during the past ten years are
predicted to occur during August, Sep
tember and October by w. 7. Forster,
the long-distance forecaster, who de-
clares that the storms are to come with
such force that they will leave havoc
in their path over the entire territory
through which they pass. These storms
will be tropical hurricanes and trans
continental cyclones. The hurricanes
will come from the south and south
west, off the gulf of Mexico, while the
transcontinental storms will wend their
way from the territory west Of the
Mississippi valley. Mr.. Forster says
indications point to a series of these
destructive winds, and the results will
be far more serious than people would
suppose. During the past few years
severe storms have swept the country.
and much serious damage has resulted,
but the character Of those predicted
by Mr. Forster are, manifestly, far the
most dangerous the country has known
in many years.
Mr.. Forster makes no attempt to To-
cate these storms or to tell where they
will reach their greatest force. He con-
fines himself now to the announcement
that they will come and the destruction
with which they will be attended. He
does not forecast them for any par
ticular locality, but says they will
sweep with remarkable force from the
directions already told. For many
weeks Mr.. Forster has been at work In
the library of the naval observatory
completing his maps and following the
conditions all over the country. So
positive is he that his forecast is cor
rect that he says he could foretell the
approximate time the storms will reach
certain locality, but that he is con-
tent in stating the fact that hurricanes
will surely come.

st. Louis, July 2.-The fair manage.

States subtreasury in st. Louis the
second installment of the $4,60G,00O
loan secured from the government.
The amount of the payment was
$213, ,092 10, and represents 40 per cent.
of the receipts from admissions and
concessions between June Is and July
/, the latter date not included. This
covers period of 13 days, as there

next payment is due July Is, and must
be at least 100000. Secretary Stevens
said Friday there was no question Of
Its payment.
Mr.. Stevens says he does not know
whether the payment to the govern
ment Friday included 40 per cent. Of
the receipts from the intramural rail-
road. This railroad Is owned by the
fair, and it is contended that its re-
ceipts do not come under the head OF
receipts from either admissions or con-
cessions.
The payment indicates that the re-
ceipts of the fair from concessions and
admissions during the last 13 days OF
June were $523,18430

A Russian Account of the Loss of
Outer Port Arthur Defenses.
Mukden, Thursday, June 30.-(De-
layed in transmission. Heavy fight
ing is reported to have occurred near
Port Arthur, June 26, resulting in the
Russian withdrawal from Guin-San-
Shan after severe losses on both sides.
The Japanese feet approached Siao-
Ping-Tao, midway between Port Dalny
and Port Arthur, In the morning OF
June &c, and bombarded the coast north
of the bay so far as Uit-Selo-Shan.
Strong Japanese forces, which had been
landed, then attacked the neighboring
heights, which were occupied by Rus
sian riflemen. Three times the Japan
ese were driven back with heavy
losses, but the Russians were forced
to retire from their main position near
-San-Shan. The Japanese REIN
forced their advance guard and pressed
the attack. After several fruitless as
saults on -San-Shan, the COM
mander sent strong column along the
central road from Dalny to Port Ar
thur, with the object Of turning the
Russian left, forcing the Russians to
retire.
The Russians lost seven officers and
nearly 200 men killed. The Japanese
losses are believed to be much larger.
as during the battle they passed over
mine which the Russians success
fully exploded.

NAVAL ENGAGEMENT
|. REPORTED GOING ON
A Steamer Arriving at Che Foo
Brings the News.
THE VESSELS WERE OUT AT SEA
A Terrific Explosion Was Heard, But
the Captain Was Unable to
Discern on which Side
It Happened.

Che Foo, July 1--S;30 p. m.-- What
should prove TO be a decisive naval
engagement was in progress at one
o'clock this afternoon midway be-
tween Che Foo and Port Arthur.
The steamer Che Foo, which has
arrived here, passed within 10 miles
of the Japanese feet, consisting of
two battIcships and five cruisers, all
actively engaged. The Russian
feet WINS not seen, but the distance
of the Japanese from land pr ecludes
the possibility of any attack ON the
land batteries. The captain of the
Che Foo says he heard IA terrible ex-
pIosion, but was unable to discern
whether u Japanese or n Russian
ship was affected. The battle is held
here to CONFIRM the Chinese report
that only four of the larger Russian
warships were at Port Arthur Thurs
day night.

HAYTIEN INCIDENT CLOSED
Has Been Satisfactorily Adjusted So
Far as French Government
il Concerned.

Paris, July 2.-The Haytien incident
has been satisfactorily adjusted, so far
as France is concerned. The foreign
office has received a dispatch from
Port-Au-Prince, saying that President
Nord had made the most complete
apology for the indignity shown the
French minister. The Haytien govern
ment's action includes the punishment
of those guilty of the outrage, a public
apology and assurances Of security for
the future.
Foreign Minister Delcasse informed
the council of ministers that the presi-
dent of Hayti had given public au-
dience to the French and German
ministers and had publicly apologized.
Although the action of France was in
dependent of Germany throughout,
each government appears to have TAX
en- similar measures.

The public schools Of the South, the
only hope for the education OF nine
tenths of the peoples children, are
still sadly inadequate to their stu
pendous task, unequal to the educa-
tional demands of this country OF
education and inferior in most re-
spects to the public schools of other
sections of our common country.
Comparative statistics of undoubted
authority show that of all sections OF
our country the public schools OF the
South have the poorest houses anu
equipment. the most poorly paid
teachers, the shortest school term and
the most inadequate system of super
vision. The average salary of teach
ers for the country at large Is S49.60
for men and $4,000 for women, while
the average salary for teachers In the
Southern States is 1858 for men ana
s30.47 for women. The average length
of the public school term for the
country at large is 145, days. The
average length Of the public school
term for the South Atlantic States is
177.3 DAYS. the average length OF the
public school term for the Southern
States. including Tennessee, Missis-
sippi. North Carolina, South Carolina,
Louisiana. Arkansas, Georgia, Ala
bama, Texas, Virginia and Florida
is ninety-nine days.
Before there can be such classlnca-
ton and gradation of the work In the
public schools as to make posslDle
thorough and successful instruction
in even the primary and intermediate
branches. some means must be found
to consolidate most of the little
schools with one room and one teach
er into larger schools with at least
two rooms and two teachers. Investi-
CATION shows that the average teacher
in the little one-room rural school
must have from twenty to fifty reclta-
tions daily. The farce OF this is mani.
| fest on its face. The advantages OF
fewer and larger schools resulting
from consolidation are apparent.
Another great need of the public
school system of the South is the pub
lie high school. There are few pub
lie high schools in the Southern
States. and nearly all of these are
in the cities and towns. A public
school system without public high
schools is sadly incomplete; In fact,
| like some magnificent structure with
| only the lower rooms complete. Such
system of public schools can never
raise the great masses Of men to any
/ high plane OF general intelligence or
civic usefulness and power. 1t will
do well II it raise them barely above
the plane of absolute illitsracy.
