st. SchOlastica's Academy

We acknowledge the receipt of
the catalogue of st. scholastica's
Academy, 1906-o7. This IS the
largest and most popular school of
its kind in this section, as we'll as
one of the most thoroughly modern
and up to date converts in the
South. 1t shows the remarkable
growth of the institution in a most
convincing way. At the end of
the fourth year in their new build
ing, which was built to afford am
pie capacity for years to come, they
have an enrolment that fills all
their space, the pupils coming
from all over the State, and even
from Mexico. The prospects for
the term of 1907-08 are very
bright, and already hetoken the
Milling OF every available room.
Applications have come from such
far away places as New York and
Mexico, and one has come from
Kentucky, the home of one of the
most famous converts IN America.
Among the pupils enrolled last
year were about 100 from this
community. Seven of the teach
ers of the Academy attended the
Summer Normal School lately held
IN New Orleans, aud came back
much enthused with the work of
the School. The plans outlined at
the Summer Normal School will
be followed out IN the work of St.
SchoIastlca's. The fall term will
open September 2, and the spring
term February 3, 1908.

MINISTER cARBo.
To Return to Ecuador as Minister Of
Foreign Affairs.

To Heturn to Ecuador rs Minister OF
Foreign Affairs.
Senior Don Luis Felipe Carlo, the minis
ter for Ecuador at Washington. has re-
eeived cablegrom from President AKaro
try Immediately to assume the important
post Of minister OF foreign affairs. The
Ecuadorian foreign Office is now about to
engage in the plan to re-establish the
credit of the country in Europe, projected
by President Alfaro. Another important
task that will be devolved upon the minis
ter of foreign affairs is the arrangement Of
a project for the sanitation of Guayaqul,
the principal port, SO as to guard against
the introduction of yellow fever from the
Isthmus of Panama. Guayaquil is that last
port of call of vessels coming northward
from Chile around the Horn, and as Senior
Carlo, in his capacity as minister to Wash
ington, has already been comforting with
the officials here relative to that subject,
he will be in possession of all the facts
necessary for its treatment in it's final
stages, for 1t Is probable that the sanitation
of Guayaquil must be regulated by a treaty.
1t is understood that when Senior Carlo
has completed the negotiation of these i'm
portant subjects he will relinquish his post
at Quito and return to Washington to re-
sumo his place minister Meanwhile
his duties at Washington will be discharged
by secretary and charge, who will prob
ably be the son of Minister Carlo, at pres
ent in Guayaquil. Senior Carlo came to
Washington as minister in May, 1906, and
in short time took a leading position
among the Latin-American diplomatic
bodies, being a member and secretary of
the supervisory committee of the bureau
of American republics.

printed as Senate document, and is now
IN the hands of all senator's. At the first
hearing there was almost no hope expressed
by representatives of the northern roads
that they would be able to do anything to
materially lessen the smoke nuisance. At
the second hearing they held out a great
deal of hope for such an outcome, stating
that they would use coke in their yard en-
gines. and If that did not answer would
use anthracite coal They asserted that
the least objectionable fuel would be used
on locomotives coming into the city and
that instructions would be given to guar
antee the exercise of the greatest care oos-
sible in keeping down the smoke nuisance.
At the close of that hearing Commissioner
Mcfarland said that although he was glad
to hear Of this favorable purpose of the
railroads. yet the representatives who ex-
pressed these views were not in position
to guarantee the carrying out of their
promises and any shifting of these officers
of the companies might bring In new off,
GERS who would not feel bound to comply
with these promises. He added further
that 1t was not customary for Congress to
accept the promise OF any citizen to con-
duct himself In a desirable way, but~Con-
gress preferred to legislate so that the
obligation to carry out such promises
might be made legal and enforceable in
the courts.
The effort to force vote in the Senate on
Senator Kean's motion to reconsider sthe
vote by which this smoke law was passed
Will be made as soon as possible.

FOR CRoSS-TOWN ROAD.
East Washington Residents Greatly
Interested.

The citizens of East Washington are
very much in earnest in their efforts to
have Congress enact into law the cross
town street railway section Of the Babcock
union station bill. The statement was made
today that both the citizens associations
in the eastern section of the city have come
out squarely in favor of the cross-town
railroad proposition, and urge its enactment
as a crying necessity. When Mr.. Thomas
w. Smith was seen by a Star reporter this
afternoon he said:
For ten years both the citizens associa-
tions on the east side have been urging
both of the District railway systems to give
them a cross-town railroad along any street
east of the Capitol. About eight years ago
Congress providing cross-town road along
18th street east.
This measure was defeated. Since that
time the officers Of the citizens associa-
either Of the two railroad corporations give
the people of East Washington the desired
facility, SO that it will not be necessary to
travel to 18th street west, distance of
three or four miles, in order to get across
town, a distance of not more than a half
mile from the original starting point.
"The railroad companies have refused in
the past to do this, urging that there ID no
been dropping into their boxes for more
than thirty years and that the profits have
enabled both companies to capitalize their
roads at many times their actual value.

either road to build crosstown railway In
