NEAR MuMTCK.
Russian So adron Was Expected at
That Place on Monday.

Amsterdam, April 11.-A dispatch to
Handelsblad from Batavia, Island of
Java, says that the Russian squadron
is near Muntok and that it was expect
ed to arrive at Batavia Monday.
A later cablegram from Batavia said
nothing had been heard from the Rus
sian squadron. The Dutch Indies
squadron is now at Tujo island, near
Singapore. Two battleships of that
squadron are at Singapore.
There are two MuntokS in the East
Indies. One is comparatively near Ba
tavia and the other far distant from
that port. To reach either of them
1t would seem the squadron referred
to may have entered the Java sea
through the Straits Of Sunda, though
it is possible part of the Russian
squadron which passed Singapore Sat
urday may have turned south when
out of sight of land and reached Mum
tok on the Island of Banka, off tho
southeast coast of the Island Of Suna
ira, and some ESQ miles from Batavia.
The second Muntok is situated at the
extreme northeastern part of the Is
land of Celebes and is too far away
to enable the squadron there to reach
Batavia under about five days.

Explosion In Factory and Consequent
Misfortune Causes This Step.
Broc.lton Mass. April 1.-THE firm
of r. B. Grover & CO. Of this city, at
whose factory the disastrous boiler ex-
plosion Of March 20 occurred, costing
fifty-eight lives and s250,0cO property
loss, has voluntarily assigned for the
benefit Of its creditors. Assfgnees are
Charles P. Hall of the American Hide
and Leather company of Boston, Judge
Warren A. Reed and Fred B. Howard,
vice president Of the Home National
bank of this city.
Judge Read, speaking for the as
signees, said: "It is impossible to give
an adequate idea of the liabilities and
assets. The assets consist mainly of
the Emerson shoe stores, scattered
throughout the country. The assign
ment was made to enable the firm to
carry on it's business during the cir
rent season. This action had nothing
to do with the legal responsibility of
the firm for claims growing out of The
disaster.'
1t is explained that the action OF
filing assignment papers exempts the
twenty-five stores of the company
from attachment in case suits should
be brought.

POLITICS AND EDUCATION.

A meeting aofsthe State Teachers AS
ISOLATION was held in Alexandria, and
at ron call on the opening day one thous-
and teachers were present This num-
Der was largely Increased before adj
journment. AT the very threshold OF
this convention politics was in evidence.
and there naturally: followed a scramble
for the election of the president of the
association, which resulted in favor OF
Prof. Caldwell of the State Normal at
Natchitoches.
Governor Blanchard attended the first
day and addressed the teachers With
cordial words of greeting, holding out
the hope of better conditions for The
schools" Of the State and consequently
for the teachers. AS the association is
OF teachers, u it, was not expected that
heads of institutions or NEIL holding
State positions: sVo.Ad~enter1 the lists for
nomination. = and, :: therefore, the an
nouncement that the president OF the
State, Normal would be a candidate for
president Of the association was sur
prise, as the competition for honors was
thought to belong to the rank and file
of the association. However, this an
ticipation has Seen disappointing, but it
is not surprising that majority was
recorded IN his favor In this result,
there Was doubtless a political hand, if
inyisible.and silent, which, perhaps, was
Aswelfs. However, in the near future
may be- Developed and made plain this
naove sanstlie. political Sehees7board. While
it is conceded that Prof. Caldwell is a
gentleman an. da scholar, he should have
beer. well satisfied with the Office he now
holds, ,as~president of the State Normal,
and ne should have, left TO the Teachers
Assertion this Office of honor which
should Be filed BY one Of their number.

ORDERED TO SEA.
Believed That Three Cruisers Will Start
to Join the Admiral.

Believed That Three Cruisers VIII start
to Join the Admiral.
St. Petersburg, April 1l.-Tehre Is
reason to believe that Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky's entrance into the China
sea has been followed by orders for
the cruisers Grimoboi. Rossoia and Be-
eatyr, which have been ready for some
time at Vladivostok to put to sea.
Whether it is the intention to send them
south Immediately, or to hold them In
the vicinity OF Vladivostok, is lot
known. Their appearance outside the
roadstead of Vladivostok would consti-
tute a potential threat against Admit
raj Togo's rear. which will compel the
retentic n in order to dispatch a number
Of heavy fighting ships to japanese wa
ters. Thus Admiral Togo seems to be
virtually between two fires.
The peace influences in the govern
ment urge that this favorable strategic
position presents the physiological mo-
ment for offering officially the olive
branch to Japan. as no matter how con-
hdent the Japanese government may
be Of Togo's victory. it cannot overlook
the possibility OF defeat nor fail to ap-
preciate the complete disaster which
would follow the transfer OF mastery OF
the sea to Russia
