DEFENSE OF GIRLS SCHOOL.
BY Members Of State Board Of Chari.
ties and Correction.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 22.-Just after
the State Humane Society started its
investigation into the conduct of af
fairs at the State Industrial School for
Girls the State Board of Charities and
Correction, under whose supervision
the school is run, visited the institu-
tion and reported to the governor as
to Its condition. After the report of
the Humane society, which SO severely
criticised the entire management, was
made public, the Board Of Charities
and Correction held meeting, which
lasted until midnight, and at its close
made public their statement to the
governor.
The statement among other things
says: "The board has just made a
careful investigation and has found
that the charges are groundless. The
inmates have been punished in man.
ner necessary to preserve discipline in
the school. We do not believe single
case Of wanton cruelty or undue pun
ishment can be cited. Unless certain
corrective discipline is maintained it
would be impossible to keep the school
in existence a single hour. Inmates
have been punished for violating the
rules of the institution. Girls have
Deen locked IN cells because IL was
found necessary. In most cases the
failure to do SO would have resulted
in destruction and the total loss OF dis
cipline."
The report finds that many of the
difficulties of the school are brought
about because Of the lack of funds
necessary with which to carry on the
work. In conclusion the report recon-
mends:
First. the segregation of the inmates
into buildings according to their moral
character.
~Second, that the experiment of farm
S..E be abandoned, as 1t necessitates
the employment of men and imposes
an unnecessary tax upon the superin-
tendent.
Third, that the inmates be employed
only in. the handicraft of women as
sewing, cooking. laundering. etc, and
in acquiring an English education.
Governor Mcdonald is said to have
stated that he was wholly in accord
with all Of the provisions of this re.
port.

Conqer to Leave Mexico.

Oyster Fay, Aug. 22.-Edwin II. Con.
ger of Iowa has resigned his post as
American ambassador to Mexico, to
take effect October 18th next. and
President Roosevelt has accepted the
resignation.
Mr.. Congers retirement from the
diplomatic service was foreshadowed
in these dispatches last week. 1t was
indicated then that he might be sent
to Peking as special commissioner of
the President to adjust, if possible, the
differences which have arisen between
this country and China over the boy
colt of American goods by some of the
Chinese commercial guilds. While no
official statement is obtainable here re-
garding the mission, there are reasons
for the statement that it either has
been abandoned by the President or
that it has been declined by Mr. Con
ger. At any rate, Mr.. Conger will not
go to China as a representative Of the
government.
1t has not been determined definitely
yet who will succeed Mr.. Conger as
ambassador to Mexico but, as hereto
fore stated. it probably will be David
f. Thompson OF Nebraska. now Ameri-
can ambassador to Brazil. 1t is known
that Mr.. Thompson desires the Mexico

INDIAN STATESMEN,
Five Civilized Tribes Meet In Cor.
yention,

Muscogec, |. r., Aug. 23.--Thc chief
taincy Of the Five Civilized tribes met
here in convention Monday to declare
for separate statehood for Indian Ter
ritory, aided and abetted by white resi-
dents of the Indian Territory, who for
both business and sentimental reasons
are opposed to union with Okla
homa. This is the first time the tribal
citizens of the Indian Territory ever as.
sembled for the purpose of notifying
Congress that they are ready for state
hood.
Many leaders in this separate state
hood convention say privately that
while they would prefer separate
statehood, yet they believe that only
joint statehood will be given to the Two
territories.
This convention was called to make
and adopt state constitution. II is
probable that the actual work will be
delegated to a committee authorized
to submit the constitution to the pco-
pie for ratification. The convention
will declare for prohibition, which may
be submitted as an issue separate from
the constitution. At the same time
funds viii be raised to ratify the con
StitutiOn.
The first week or ten days of the con-
vcntiOn probably viii be occupied by
organizing and appointing committees
for the various branches of the work
and discussing the main points that
should enter into the constitution.
The convention will probably then
adjourn for a week and rcassemblc, at
which time the committees will report
and sections of the proposed constitu-
tion Will be submitted and discussed
separately. Delegates will be allowed
to suggest changes and discuss points
freely. This will doubtless occupy
much time, and the convention may
last thirty or even sixty days.

REACHED BY MoFFAr RAILWAY

President o. II. Moffat and
Party Of Friends.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 21.-David H.
Moffat. builder Of the Denver & North
western railroad, familiarly called the
"Moffat" road, took a party OF friends
over the line yesterday. making the
first trip into Hot Sulphur Springs.
The road now extends up to within a
mile Of the growing little city, which
contains seventy-five buildings. and
will be laid up to the town itself today.
In the party entertained on the trip
by Mr.. Moffat were Mayor Speer, w.

Charles J. Hughes, Jr., S. n. Wood and
J. A. McMurtrie.
The party was met at the end of the
road by citizens in carriages and light
spring wagons and driven about the
town. The buildings are freshly
painted and much admiration was ex-
pressed for the enterprise of the little
city. The 1S0foot bridge over the
Grande river had been completed in
the morning.
The special train of two cars left
Denver at o'clock in the morning
and returned at 9 o'clock in the even-
ing The members thoroughly enjoyed
every moment of the trip and pro-
nounce the Moffat road as the most
picturesque mountain trip to be found
anywhere. The road is well laid and
! operates with wonderful ease even
while new. Rails are now being laid
at the rate of one and one-balf miles
per day. The contract has now been
let to build right up to Gore canon and
the work will be pushed rapidly.
Hot Sulphur Springs was delighted
with the visit of the party of distin.
guished men. The residents are greatly
| pleased with the completion of the
railroad into their city, may of them
| having looked forward for years to the
proud day when such an engineering
feat would be accomplished.

be day of general celebration at Hot

Denver, Aug 2O.-After balloting all

adjourned at an early hour this mora

the most tiresome election that the or

the chair had difficulty maintaining or

THE PRESIDENTS PLAN
PROPOSES PEACE COMPROMISE
Let's Russia Down Easy on Indemnity
by Payment Of Money for
Island Of SaqhaIien,

Portsmouth. N. H., Aug. 23.-The
to reveal substantially the suggestion
OF President Roosevelt for breaking
the existing deadlock in the peace ne
gotiations and rescuing the conference
from failure.
His solution would ingeniously per-
nit the satisfaction of Japanese de-
mands for reimbursement for the cost
of the war and at the same time en-
able Russia to face the world with the
declaration that she had not ceded a
foot of territory or paid kopeck Of
war tribute to the victor.
The solution is the one which has
heretofore been described in the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches as the natural
and logical compromise.
Tersely stated, it consists of an
agreement OF Russia to rcpurchase
possession of either all or half the Is
land of Saghalien, now in the military
occupation of Japan, for sum, the
amount Of which, il the two countries
cannot agree, shall be decided by some
method of arbitration hereafter to be
determined.
The purchase money, together with
the sum Japan would obtain from the
cession of the Chinese Eastern rail
road aud the maintenance of the Rus
sian prisoners in Japan, would, it is
estimated about equal the amount
claimed by Japan as her bill for the
cost of the war.
Possible, therefore, the solution Of
fered by the President involves reces.
sion by Japan upon article five (he
cession of Saghalien) and the recess
sion b. Russia upon article 8 lin
demnity).
1t seems practically certain. though
this cannot be affirmed positively, that
the President to-day was able to give
NJ. Wittc substantial assurance that
Japan would be willing to accept such
compromise.
This is apparently supported by the
authoritative japanese statement
made to the Associated Press last
night III reply to question whether
Japan had or had not decided on sub.
Stantial concessions:
1T all depends upon Russia"

thousands Of persons in St. Louis and
st. Louis county, as far as Belleville.
Illinois, as far south as Memphis,
Tennessee, and as far north as Spring
field, Illinois.
While the tremors lasted scarcely
minute, they were distinct enough to
awaken sleeping residents of the city,
to cause dogs to bark in alarm and
to wake sleeping children who cried
out in terror.
The shocks, from a comparison of
the time they were felt in the districts
visited, seemed to travel from east to
west There was but an infnitesimal
period between the shocks, but sec
ond intervening between the first and
second spasms, and about three sec
'onds between the second and third, or
final shock.
The trembling Of the earth was ac-
.companied by dull rumbling noise,
which sounded like the passing Of a
distant freight train.
Owensboro, KY, Aug. 22-Owens-
,boro and Henderson, Kentucky. and
Evansville, Indiana. were visited by an
earthquake at Hos o'clock last night.
Two distinct shocks were felt. Citi-
