Problems Raised By Two-cent Rate.

A rather peculiar situation has been developed by the new two-cent rail road rate law in Arkansas, and many questions are confronting the passen. ger departments of the different roads. For instance:
 The Cotton Belt depot at Texarkana Is only few feet across the Arkansas line, but traveller purchasing a tick et there for point in Arkansas must pay at the rate of three cents a mile. The new two-cent rate law is effective only between Arkansas points. and although the station at Texarkana Is within q stones throw of the boundary line the Cotton Belt holds that the s.d rate of three cents should be charged for tickets bought to Ar kansas points. The Iron Mountain depot Is within short distance of the Cotton Belt, but is within the boundary lines of Arkansas, hence tickets over the Iron Mountain for Arkansas points can be purchased at the rate of two cents mile How ever, the Iron Mountain maintains the old rate for tickets purchased to any point outside the state, and has done away with the old l.2 cent per mlle clergy and charity rate.

SEVENTY MEXICAN CHILDREN IN SCHOOL BUILDING WRECKED
 BY EARTHQUAKE.

Mexico City. April.-0wlng te the great difficulty in establishing com. munication with the cities situated In the region of greatest devastation wrought by the recent earthuuake de. tails are coming 10 this city very slow. ly. Each succeeding intelligence mas. niles instead of diminishes the extent of the disaster From the latest re ports il is now learned that the earth Is now still in the region which was sorsly afflicted, but the last shock oc- cured as late as noon. In the list of known dead. which now totals fifty. and of the injured which approximate 500 are many names of Mexiaans prominent in the official and social life of the region. So far the name of no American or other foreigner has appeared i'll the meagre list of dead and injured as sent to this city, all though many such are residents of the district afflicted. being engaged in mining and agricultural pursuits. The country most damaged is a particular ly rich territory.
 One of the most remarkable stories of miraculous escape from death in thlS earthquake or perhaps any other came from Santa Julia Wednesday. In that colony is located the Saleiano College. school for children. The building was new structure and sup. posed to be earthquake proof. When the big shock came Sunday night over hundred children were a3lecp in the dormitortes. Thirty-five of these together with the teachers of the in stitution succeeded in leaving the building before the second story and the roof fell. When the mortified teach. CTS counted their charges and found that seventy are missing they impro- vlsed rope ladders and ascended to where they believed they would find the mangled remains of the missing pupils. Their surprise and joy were unbounded when they reached the highest point of the ruins and found the terrified children elnging te beams and rafters. Not one was in jured. The roof in falling had so rest ed on the beams that an open space was left over the place where the lit tie ones had sought refuge The chil. dren were safely conveyed to the ground.

A $40, ,ooo TREASURY ROBBERY.
Clever Work of Detective Revealed
 the Thief.

The robbery of the sub-treasury in Chicago recalls the fact that the treasury department in Washington was the victim of a 10000 theft about 30 years ago. At first. although no reasonable explanation of how tho thing could have been done by an out slider could be given. it was assumed that it was the work of some one un- connected with the office in which tho robbery occurred. It was not long. however. before clever detective became acquainted with the fact that one of the clerks who might have had access to the bundle of bills was ac- quainted with professional gambler of shady antecedents That discovery solved the problem. A little patient watching resulted in catching the gambler with the stolen notes, and the rest was easy. The clerk was ar rested, and while in confinement, was given to understand that he was be- trayed. whereupon he confessed tho robbery, which was accomplished by showing the package of notes, all of large denominations, into a position where they could be "snaked up" with cane provided with hook
