The report OF the investigating com
mittee can with entire safety be fore
casted in one particular-it will find
that the trustees and directors OF the
several state institutions give too little
attention to their duties. They rely
too much upon the actual heads of the
institutions, and really know but little
of their inner workings. They meet
now and then for an occasional or reg
ular official visit, for which they draw
per diem and expenses, but the insti-
tntions absorb little of their time or
thought. Some OF them appear to re-
gard their places as mere rewards for
duty previously performed-politieal
OF c0urse-and allow what should be
done by them in the way OF business
oversight to be quite undone. Tie
result is that the superintendent run
things to suit themselves, often in a
way that means increased comfort, II
not profit. to them, at the cost OF the
state. Trustees are supposed to pre-
vent this and apply the brakes when
needed, but il is apparent that this
duty has not been well performed.

such building is Purdue's greatest need
COLUMBUS.-The Modern Woodmen car
nival for the second week in May is now
practically assured, as the business men

ACTION OF UNION MEN
Lithographers in United States and
Canada Urged to Sign Arbi-
tration Agreement.

NEW YORK, March 16-The various
unions allied with the lithographing trade
organizations held conferences tonight and
decided not to accept the arbitration plan
proposed to them by the employers asso-
citation. The arbitration plan was submitted
individually to-day to every workman en-
ployed by a member of the association, and
they were told if they did not accept the
plan they would be locked out. The men
were given until Saturday to decide. If the
men refuse to sign the agreement, more
than 10000 men will be locked out. The
lockout will be all over the United States
and also in Canada.
The dissension is caused by disagree
ment over arbitration agreements with en-
ployers, and involves the absolute recogni-
ton of the unions, the eight-hour day and
the "open shop"
A member of the National Association of
photographers said: I'VE intend to have
questions at issue submitted to a general
arbitration plan. We want union men in
shops that are union, with no lowering of
the wages or hours in force"
CINCINNATI, o., March 16-"All litho-
graph workmen of Cincinnati, Newport and

VICE. ADMIRAL STARK
RELIEVED BY MAKAROFF

ST. PETERSBURG, March 16.-Oficial
orders published to-day relieving Vice
Admiral Stark from the command of the
Port Arthur division of the navy, ostensibly
on account of illness. No successor Will be
appointed, Vice Admiral Makarof having
determined to serve squadron COM
mander as we'll as commander-in-chi Of
the entire Russian naval force in the far
East.
Captain Schtchensnovitch, commander of
the battleship Retvizan, has been decorated
with the Cross of ST George for repelling
the last japanese torpedo attack and sink
ing the Japanese fireShips.
The talk of 'Pyroxiline' (poisoneO
swords having been left behind by the
fleeing Japanese is based upon the mis-
translation of a Russian technical term.
General Zilinski, chief of staff to Viceroy
Aliexeff in telegram said that Pyroxiine
had been found in the form of disc-shaped
torpedoes, six inches in diameter, which the
Japanese intended to use in bestrewing
the road over which the Russians were
expected to pass in order that the explo-
sions resulting from the impact of the
horses hoofs might cause stampede. AS
the road between Anju and Ping-Yang is
very narrow the hoofs of the horses of the
Russian cavalry and artillery, the wheels
of the wagons would have been certain to
have exploded the torpedoes, thereby caus-
ing great confusion.

AMERICAN INTERESTS IN
JAPAN WILL SUFFER
Proposed Creation of Tobacco
Monopoly Means Destruction
of Private Industry.
MR.. GRISCOM PROTESTS

TOXIC, March 16-Cnited States Minister
Griscom called on Prime Minister komura
to-day and renewed his representations con-
corning American interests affected by the
proposal of the japanese government to
extend the tobacco monopoly so as TO in
clude manufactured tobacco. He urged the
fair treatment of American interests and
adequate compensation in the event of a
monopoly being created. 1t is understood
that komura gave him satisfactory assur-
ances. American capital is heavily invested
in tobacco manufacturing in Japan, and
the creation of a monopoly means the early
and complete exclusion of the industry.
The decision to submit proposals for the
extension of the tobacco monopoly to in
clude manufactured tobacco and the ere
alton of salt monopoly TO a special Diet
converting on Friday next was made by
the Cabinet after a long conference. The
contemplated action involves a heavy out
lay for the purchase of private tobacco
manufacturing concerns and the salt in
terests, but the advisers of the government
regard the expenditure at this time as wise.
The Cabinet has decided also TO suggest
increases in land income, business, wine,
soy. sugar stock exchanges, miners; Gus
toms duty and stamp taxes, and in ADDITION
the creation of new taxes upon silk piece
goods, kerosene and wools the estimated
total increase amounting to 6S,Ooo,VO yen
of hostilties to the end of March esti-
mated at 156,00O,000 yen, divided as follows:
Jos, coo yen for the army and 470O0.OO0 yen
for the navy. OF this sum only 50.0o0.Oo0
ven has actually been disbursed, including
the payment for the cruisers Nisshin and
Kasuga, purchased abroad. The govern
ment plans to meet the expenditures to the
end of March with 100000 yen from ex
chequer bonds just sold. 25.0O0.O00 from the
special funds and 81, 0o0, 600 yen to be raised
by temporary loan.
The expenditure On account of war from
April next 70 December, inclusive. is esti-
mated at $50, 900 yen, besides a special
war reserve of 100000 yen. The govern
ment plans to meet. these expenditures by
the issuance of 2S0,0o0OJ0 in exchequer
bonds. 6S,0000o0 yen in war taxes. 100000
balance on ordinary annual receipts and
% 100000 yen from special funds. The for

and Admirals Avelan and Rijestvensky.
Captain Seberiannikoff received the august
visitors on board the Borodino, which the
Emperor inspected infinitely examining the
arrangement of her guns and torpedo tubes
and manifesting special interest in the
stoutness of her armor. He examined the
guns already on board the Orel. The
Andrew is so little advanced in construc-
ton that she was not inspected by the En-
peror- His Majesty conversed with the
dockyard employees and told them their
work would be finished and requested
them to exert their best efforts. promising
TO repeat his visit in month. Great
crowds of people greeted the Emperor on
his arrival and departure. He will go TO
the new admiralty yard tomorrow and
later in the week to the Baltic works.
The reports of the abandonment of Port
Arthur continue to arouse the bitterest re-
sentiment, the papers denouncing the story
as stock-jObbing scheme One paper re-
marks Let other countries be fed on such
tales, but while Russian blood is flowing
the authorities should not allow the people
to be disturbed by such falsehoodS. The
official kilograms are believed and trusted
by every one.
copy OF the Now Krai of Port Arthur,
which has just arrived here, contains the
yiceroyS appeal TO the civilians of Port
Arthur to volunteer and promising to equip
them at the governments expense. 1t also
contains the warning issued by General
Stoessel, notifying the officers to refrain
from the discussion of military affairs, with
which they are unacquainted, as irrespon-
sible gossip was likely 10 lead to the dis
semination of false reports and threatening
soldiers and civilians found intoxicated with
Imprisonment in the fortress. A similar
warning was addressed to the dockyard en-
ployeS.
The government is building some armored
trains for use the Manchurian railroad,
after the model of those used by the Brit
ish in South Africa. They will not be en-
ployed so much on account of fear that the
Japanese may cut the road for their
moral effect upon the Chinese robber
bands, who may become emboldened by the
war. 1t is believed that when the bandits
see the. iron monsters they will not come
near the railroad.

PROPHECY OF THE HOLY

St. Seraphim Is Alleged to Have
Predicted War Between Russia

SAINT AND CAR TO FIGHT

ST. PETERSBURG, March 16.-The news
papers here are reproducing a curious
prophecy attributed TO ST. Seraphim, the
holy hermit of Sarafoff, in which he pre-
dicted his canonization by the Emperor
last year, and also the present war. The
oracular utterance follows: Marvel not
that the leaders failed to reach the mill.
There will come a greater wonder when
a multitude, like in the cornfield, will
march with banners to Sarafoff Shortly
thereafter will come burdensome war for
Russia. The Emperor will go to battle,
l with him, and we shall rend the cloak
from off Englands shoulders"

troverting series of articles in the Novoe
Vremya, claiming that the war was brought

tention is absurd and scoring the latter for

SHANGHAI. March 1.-THE first regular
train on the Shan-Tung Railway arrived at
Si-Nan-Fu from Sin-Tao last night. hav-
ing covered the distance, 252 miles, in four
teen hours. The train was decorated with
the Chinese and German flags and had on
board number of Germans. The station
at Si-Nan-Fu was brilliantly Illuminated.
Sin-Tao is the terminus of the German
railroad at the entrance of Kiao-Chou bay,
the naval station of Germany in China. ST.
Nan-Fu is about 215 miles south by east of
Peking. Pao-Ting-Fu, the southernmost
station of the railroad running southwest
from Peking, is about $50 miles from ST.
Nan-Fu. Therefore it would seem that at
no distant date Kiao-Chou bay and Picking
may be connected by rail.

DEFERS DECISION IN
BENNETT WILL CASE
Probate Judge Will Not Take Ac-
ton Against Bryan Until SUI
perior Court Moves.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, March 16.-After
consultation with the attorneys I'm the Philo
S. Bennett will case, Judge Cleveland of
the Probate Court, has announced that he
will defer giving a decision the applica-
ton for William j. Bryan's removal as
executor until the Superior Court passes on
the main issues in the case. 1t is expected
that the decision in the Superior Court trial
will practically cover the issue involved in
the motion before the Probate Court. In
the latter motion counsel for Mrs. Bennett
and the residuary legatees asked for Mr..
Bryan's removal. on the ground that his
personal interests were alleged to be in con-
f1ict with his duties as executor, and that
as executor he proposed TO waste the estate
by appeals to the higher courts.
