SCHOOL FOR new CONSULS
INNOVATION JUST ESTABLISHED
BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
Officials Will Hereafter Go Abroad
With Better Idea Of Their Duties
and Responsibilities.

NO more green consuls are to be sent
abroad to represent America if the plans
or the State Department which have just
been put in practice realize expectations.
Ever since the establishment of the con-
sular service 1t has been customary to al
low a newly appointed consul thirty days
with pay before leaving America for his
post. The new officer generally spent that
time closing up his own private business
affairs and taking farewell of his friends.
Few of the consuls ever called at the de-
partment except to draw the advance pay
and secure credentials. Consequently, they
went out to their posts without any knowl-
edge of what is required of a consul.
All that Is changed now. The consular
bureau has decided to educate the new con-
suls, work made easier by the fact that
under Secretary Roots new regulations,
the appointees are for the most part young
and easily trained men. A room has been
set apart in the department which has
been equipped a complete working Amer
lean consulate, suitable to transact the
business of an American consul in any part
of the world, civilized or uncivilized. The
appointees are no longer permitted to spend
that thirty-day period In their own way,
but are required to report every day at
the state Department for duty and to
spend certain number Of hours in this
miniature consular office receiving instruc
tions and acQuainting themselves with
every practical detail of a consuls daily
work.
The best of instruction is provided Tues
day Chief Osborne of the bureau of for
eign commerce delivered lecture to the
new consuls on the proper means of gath
erlng information for and compiling for
publication the admirable series of reports
on economic and technical subjects that
have, more than any other thing. made the
consular service popular with the Ameri
can business interests and excited the envy
of European foreign offices. Wednesday
Gaillard Hunt, chief Of the citizenship bu
reau. lectured to the appointees On "Citi-
Zenshp,' one of the most knotty and diff
cult subjects with which the consul has to
deal, and today one of the trained expert
accountants talked about consular book
keeping.
The new consuls are showing great inter-
est in their work and the department is
encouraged at the outlook.

NEW PACIFIC STEAMERS.
Line From Vladivostok and San Fran
cisco Projected.

VICTORIA, September 19.-The Russo
Chinese Steamship Company, which at
present maintains a line of steamships be-
tween Odessa and Vladivostok via India,
will in the very near future inaugurate a
line between San Francisco, Nicolaievsk
and Vladtvostok. The new steamship line
is to be made the connecting link between
the Transstberian and Amur railway and
the United States roads The company
has recently been organized, and although
it owns several steamers of $500 tons
capacity, they are not found satisfactory
for the trade and orders for new vessels
have been given, and some are already
under construction.
The company was organized by Amasta-
self & Vorova of Vladivostok, and the
intention was to have regular sailings be-
tween odessa and other Black sea ports,
Vladivostok and San Francisco.
1t is probable, however, that the sailings
to San Francisco will be made by other
steamers than those which sail from the
Black sea to the Russian coast. A freight
service was to have been opened with the
sailing of the Novorossisk to San Fran
cisco with a load of cement. but soon after
she was loaded the vessel sank.

TAYLOR MAY SUCCEED BARR.
Exposition Directors Accept the Lat
ter's Resipuaton.

NORFOLK, Va, September 19-The di-
rectors OF the jamestown exposition have
nrmly made up their minds, come what
may, to stand behind their president, Har.
ry st. George Tucker, and at a conference
between a number of the directors and the
committee of local bankers, held in Norfolk
last night, 1t was decided to accept the
resignation Of James NJ. Barr and to Offer
the position to Col. Walter H. Taylor pres
ident OF the Marine Bank or Norfolk one
OF the leading bankers of the south.
1t Is understood that while the committee
OF bankers had advanced the money they
dld to save the exposition and had stipu-
lated that in so doing it was necessary for
the exposition company to agree to allow
their representative. Mr.. Barr to take full
control of the financial end Of the company
they were not at first prone to allow Mr.
Barr TO resign but the members of the di-
rectorate informed them that since 1t was
apparently impossible for Barr and Tucker
to work together, and that as they pro-
posed to stand behind the latter the bank
ers had nothing left for them to do but
to face the music and let Mr.. Barr 60
The directorate, however, was not de-
sirous of endangering the money the local
people had put up and told them that they
might name another man who would take
over the place occupied by Mr. Barr and
continue to look after the financial end of
the fair. In the conference several men
We're mentioned, but the choice OF the
bankers seemed to be Col. Taylor and this
gentleman will be rendered the position.

MAYOR JOHNSON TALKS.
Has No Fear of Result Of Roosevelt
Burton Combination.

CLEVELAND Ohio, September 49,
Mayor Tom L. Johnson has replied in tor
rid language to the letter Of President
Roosevelt urging Theodore Burton into the
mayoralty contest here. The mayors re-
Spouse to the publication of the long-ex-
pected letter contained also a fling at Bur-
ton for failure to let the public into the
secret Of what Secretary Tafts telegram
and letters on the same subject contained
and what Secretary Garfield had told him.
THE letter fails to disclose the grounds
of the Presidents profound conviction or
the source Of his information anent the
need for Burton to assume the reins of
government here said Tom L. Johnson.
THE supposed matter might show the real
basis Of the candidacy" The mayor then
went on to compare his platform as 1t will
be when his convention next Saturday
adopts 1t and the platform on which Mr..
Burton is opposing him for the mayoralty.
ours Is plain simple'a complete to
the smallest detail 1t is set forth In an
ordinance already passed, giving three-cent
fare, revocable franchises and the right In
the council to reduce fares even lower.
The republican platform, in fact, means
that the street car monopoly is too big to
be controlled by the people. Burtons pro-
posal is to surrender all we've won. His
idea is a compromise idea. Ours Is a finish

LOOK FOR RISE IN MILK.
To Follow Expected Advance in
Wholesale Cost

BALTIMORE, September 19.-The farm
ers who supply the dairymen Of Baltimore
with milk will probably advance the price
2 cents on the gallon. This will mean
that instead Of II and 10 cents a gallon the
dairymen will have to pay 10 and 20 cents
To meet this increase the dairymen will
have to put milk up a cent quart to the
consumer, and the retail price will. there
fore, be cents a quart instead of cents.
This Increase Of cent quart to the con-
sumner must be made by the dairymen be-
cause a fraction of cent cannot be put on
to the price of single quarts.
This was the way the milk situation was
sized up yesterday afternoon by Mr.. Asa B.
Gardiner of the Gardiner Dairy Company.
Mr.. Gardiner explained that no increase
smaller than one cent the quart could be
made by the retailer.
Il realize" said Mr.. Gardiner, that the
farmers are up against 1t and ought to get
more for their milk. but 1t must be under
stood that the dairymen are also up against
it, if may use that expression. We under
stand that the farmers expenses have in
creased, and SO have ours. Wages have
gone up 35 per cent and there is every
prospect of a still further advance. Horses
wagons and harness have also gone up, and
the price of feed is more than double what
it was a year ago.

AMERICAN COURT PLAN FAILS.
Committee at The Hague Refers Cues
ton to Various Nations.

THE HAGUE, September 19.-The plan
for the organization of a permanent court
Of arbitration, which for some days has
been under the consideration of a special
committee, has failed to pass A final
strenuous effort was made yesterday to
reach an agreement on the selection of
judges, but 1t proved futile. Joseph H.
Choate of the American delegation brought
forward another American suggestion for
the election of the fifteen judges by direct
vote of the governments, but this was de-
feated by nine votes to five. DR.. Barbosa
(BrazD then withdrew the Brazilian prop
osition. but in SO doing he maintained that
the only possible solution of this question
was for all states to share equally in the
court, which would insure to each the NOM
nation of judge and the right OF the par
ties in dispute to choose the judges to deal
with each case.
Sir Edward Fry Great Brittany then
succeeded in carrying proposal that the
conference should pass the scheme for the
organization and procedure of the court
and remit the complete convention to the
various governments. leaving blank the ar
hcle providing for the election of judges,
but recommending that the governments
consider among themselves how best to
overcome the difficulty which has baf7ed
the conference. This measure was carried
by eight votes to five, one delegate being
absent.

HUGHES ON EDUCATION,
Says Good Government Rests on an

ONEONTA, N. Y, September 19.-Gov-
ernor's day at the central New York fair
saw the largest crowd ever assembled on
the grounds, in spite of threatening
weather. 1t was between 10000 and %, 900.
Gov. Hughes was entertained by Repre-
sentative George w. Fairchild, and was es-
corted to the fair grounds by Company G
of the National Guard.
Gov. Hughes was introduced by William
H. Johnson ex-statutory revision commits
sioner who was a practicing attorney at
Delhi when Gov. Hughes commenced to
study law there.
Following the speech the governor held
an informal reception, viewed the exhibits
and was driven about the village.
Gov. Hughes said, in part
I'VE sometimes make the mistake of be-
lieving that the interests Of the state hinge
upon matters Of administration which are
remote from us. The best way Is to begin
with the place where we live, feel pride in
its development, to watch anxiously over
its progress. to devote ourselves individual
y as far as we can to making it an ideal
community in everything that goes to make
up a community life.
1T is because there is so much of that
work done in the state of New York that
we find such continual assurances of con-
tentment and progress. New York is a
beautiful, a prosperous state. 1t is filled
state for which you and l ought to be
ready at any time to give our services with
out stint, without thought Of personal re-
ward.
I'm educated citizenship is the founda-
ton of all good democratic governments.
We spending millions upon our schools,
we are making provision for great variety
of education in different lines. Why?
Because in this country we have no
security for our business; no security for
our homes or for whatever we may lay up
to protect us in the years when we can no
longer produce, except i'll the education and
common sense and good judgment of the
people who control our destinies.
There is no other way. 1t Is absolutely
nothing but painstaking and careful at
tention to every matter, to the end that 1t
may be disposed of in a fair and impartial
manner and exactly as the merits of the
case require

sire unless every individual citizen in con-

to office make sure that he is a man who
will represent the people and no special in

TIMES of the community.
1.-The principles of our government are
extremely simple. Those principles which
we would put in application are understood
by every man, woman andschild in the COM
munity. The difficulty lies in the efforts
that are made to pervert administration to
unworthy purposes; to get an advantage
over the people without giving any return"
