Partisan information Bureau.

An information bureau has recently
been inaugurated in connection with
the University of Paris, and is con-
sidered an excellent innovation. The
bureau will afford information on all
matters connected with higher educa-
ton in Paris, whether in government
or private institutions. Those who,
in this country or elsewhere, are con.
templating entering the university,
and who have spent hours in trying to
derive some tangible idea from calen.

ciate the useful purpose which would
be served by a bureau of this char,

The Lebaudy Airship.

The Lebaudy airship, in it's recent
trial between Paris and Moisson, a
distance of about fifty miles, showed
docile dirigibility, giving it the palm
among balloons, and it's screw pro-
peller working up to a maximum of a
thousand revolutions a minute, ena-
bled it to make Roadway against mod
crate winds and choose it's own course
and return. The ship, after two hours
of successful sailing and maneuvering,
came duly back to it's own she'd and
dropped down before its door, like a
dove returning to it's cote. It has
since suffered damage and been near
ly destroyed in, other experiments, but

CALLS FOR MONEY
NOTICE SERVED ON UNITED
STATES REPOSITORIES.
MONEY TO PAY FOR THE CANAL
At Least $3o,ooo,ooo Must Be Raised
Shortly and the Banks Are Asked
to Provide Twenty Per Cent OF
Their Deposits.

WASHINGTON - Secretary Shaw
sent the following letter to all ma.
tional bank repositories holding spe
cial government deposits regarding
prospective calls for funds on account
of the Panama canal purchase:
Sir: 1t seems probable that the
government will be called upon in the
near future to pay $50,000,000 prelim-
mary to the construction of an inter-
oceanic canal. In addition to this,
there are outstanding approximately
S5,OOO00O of the United States bonds,
which by their terms mature February
/, 1904, and congress is considering
appropriations of between 100000
and $5,000000 to the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition. To meet these prob
able demands it will be necessary to
withdraw at least $30,000,000 from de-
pository banks.
You are therefore required to make
immediate preparation for the pay
ment on demand of 20 per cent at
New York. In the near future, pos
sibly within ten days, you will be
asked to transfer this amount to some
one of the New York depository
banks, to be used in settlement for
- canal right of way.
If you desire to sell at once a por-
ton of the securities now held by
the government against your deposit.
you will so inform this office, and ar
rangements will be made for the i'm
mediate transfer, SO as to avoid ac-
tual Withdrawals from channels of
trade.
The department will surrender no
United States bonds held as security
for deposits with any bank until such
bank has withdrawn all state and mu-
nlcipal bonds now held as such Sc.
curity, but securities of the District
of Columbia, Philippine islands and
Hawaii will be retained if desired.
Please acknowledge receipt. Re-
spectfully, L. NJ. SHAW,
Secretary.

IOWA HAS TWO GUNS BLOWN UP
Board of Inspection Testing Battery
of Big Battleship.


WASHINGTON. - Captain Train,
president of the Board of Inspection
and Survey, telegraphs to the Navy
department from Fort Monroe that
while the Board of Inspection was
testing the battery on the battleship
Iowa both guns in the starboard for
ward eight-inch turret blew off their
muzzles. No damage was done except
to the guns and one whale boat.
Immediately on receipt of the tele-
gram announcing the accident Secre-
tary Moody sent dispatch calling for
full details and ordering the Iowa to
proceed at once to New York for eX-
animation and repairs. This second
explosion on the Iowa in less than a
year has cast a gloom over the Off
Gals of the navy department The
cause of the explosion off Panama
last year, in which there was a loss
of life and considerable damage to
the ship, remains mystery.

SAN DOMINGO.-The insurgents on
Friday deliberately fired on the launch
of the auxiliary cruiser Yankee, kill
ing j. c. Johnston, the engineer. The
bullet entered his head above the eye.
United States Minister Powell has
directed the captain of the Yankee to
take drastic measures to avenge
Johnstons death and this insult to
the American flag. Johnston will be
buried on shore this afternoon.
The German consul here has re-
quested United States Minister Powell
to afford protection to Herr Woman,
the German vice consul, that he might
bring his family into the city, as the
insurgents have given Mr.. Woman
torty-eight hours to leave where he
is or suffer the consequences.
Mr.. Powell secured guard of
sixty men from the cruiser Columbia
and informed the government that 1t
was the intention of the German con-
sui and himself to bring Herr Wor-
mans family into the city and asked
the government that it's troops not
fire upon this party while it was on
it's mission. He said that if fired upon
this party would protect themselves.
The guard started out. AS soon as
they passed outside the city they were
covered by the guns of the Columbia.
No attack was made and the Woman
family and their belongings were
brought back here in safety.
All the houses outside the city walls
have been pillaged. The insurgents
are desperate and are destroying for
eign property wherever they find it.
Mr.. Powell has received urgent APP
peals to protect foreign property
against this pillaging and the Column
bia may be compelled to land marines
to do so. The firing around the city
continues. The situation is serious,
the prices of provisions are very high
and the poor are suffering from want
of food.
The funeral of Johnston took place
yesterday. The body was escorted
to the grave by detachment of ma
rines, bluejackets and officers from
the Yankee, headed by the ships band.
United States Minister Powell, the
American consul and vice consul, and
nearly all the diplomatic and consul
lar representatives here went to the
funeral.
