Manual Training SCbooI

In order to select an instructor of
mathematics to vacancy in the McKin-
ley Manuel Training School. an examina-
ton was held yesterday. and Will be con-
tinued to-day, in the Franklin building.
The examination was announced several
days ago, and any candidate was declared
eligible who had not been previously con-
nected with the teaching force Of the
public schools. Great difficulty has been
experienced by the examining board,
which consists Of Dr. Chancellor. Miss
Sarah Simmons, and Harry English, in
securing applicants who are qualified for
the position
In previous examinations no candidate
obtained mark sufficiently high to re-
ceive the position, The small salary at
taehed to the place is held responsible
Tor this fact, and II Is thought that II
to-day's examination is not productive OF
well-Qualified applicant. some provision
must be made for a larger remuneration.

cused himself and was absorbing the con-
teats of the message He had received
three in a bunch
He is also receiving suggestions from
people in all parts of the country, telling
him how to build the great trench The
outline of the writer's plan in some of the
letters is absolutely absurd, while others
are ingeniously thought out, but in most
cases complicated beyond any prac-
tlcabHlty.
A letter was received yesterday by Mr..
Oliver suggesting the best way TO dig
the Culebra cut was by means Of dyna-
mite, The writer's idea was that ali
along the cut wells be eXcavated at dif-
ferent points When this task had been
completed all the contractor had to do
would be TO MI the wells with an inn
mense charge Of dynamite. touch of the
fuse, and the great blast would accom-
plish the work that has been puzzling
government officials and others for
years. The letter has been placed on flle.

Finally Mr.. Oliver had another chance
10 speak to the reporter.
Il do not blame the President in the
least for taking time in deciding the con-
tract" he said. The job is a big one.
The question stands tonight Just as it
did this morning. There has been abso-
lutely no change in the situation. We are

plan,' Mr.. oliver said yesterday. ITO
employ convicts on the Job would require
some time TO put the system in working
order. Besides, il would necessitate the
enactment of special legislation. This
plan, however. will be considered

SENATOR FULTON TRTUMPHS.
Defeats Nomination of District At
tOTney for Oregon.

Senator Fulton has apparently won
his tight against the confirmation OF
the nomination of w. c. Bristol to be
district attorney of Oregon. A sub
committee Of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee yesterday made an adverse re
port on it to the full committee. The
fight has been bitter one. and went
so far as to include charges by Bristols
friends duplicating Senator Fulton in
the land frauds Of oregon to the extent
OF attributing his antagonism to Bris-
tot TO an effort to prevent prosecution
Of some Of his personal friends. The
action Of the subcommittee is taken as
q complete vindication of Senator Full

SOUTH AGAINST FORAKER.
He Is 10 Have No Delegates Because
He Denounced Secession.

Chattanooga. Tenn. Jan. Foraker
must receive no votes in the'next Repub-
lican national convention from the South
ern States" Is the edict that has been re-
ceived from Washington throughout this
section.
The edict comes, as have all others that
have been received from the administra-
ton In the past, not In writing, but by
word Of mouth from prominent RePubli-
cans who have recently been In Washing
ton. They say this course Is prompted on
account Of a speech made by Senator
Foraker In October last. in which he
declared that the whole proceeding Of
secession was "causeless, indefensible,
and in the light of subsequent events
grotesquely absurd" He Is weak with
the party in this section. although no Re
publican will be quoted on the edict, all
admit that none of the Southern States
will be found in the Foraker columns
