WASHINGTON, March ls.--John D.
Rockefeller is planning to give $780,
100000 for the purpose OF lifting the
Chinese In their own country to the
plan OF civilization Of the American
people, knowledge Of this enormous
sum TO be used TO turn the orientals
into the paths OF western civilization
has been made public by men who
have been consulted by the intending
donor az 10 the best methods to be
employed. That is what Mr.. Rocke-
feller meant when Immediately fol-
lowing his magnificent gift of $32.-
100000 to the cause OF general edu-
cation, he said that ne hoped before
long to have something to announce
which might be OF still greater in
terest to the public. This Is to be his
crowning effort In behalf OF the world,
Briefly stated, II is Mr.. Rockefeller's
intention to endow in the Chinese En-
pire many institutions of learning, un-
connected In any way whatever with
and religious organization. at which
the mandarin classes OF the Chinese
may learn by teaching and association
the value of higher civilization than
that which they nave yet known. 1t
is thought that these upper classes will
by their example turn the lower orders
into the paths which their superiors
in rank will be made glad to travel.
1t is a daring plan that the worlds
richest man has conceived. He minds
with his money to make possible the
new birth Of an Empire. He has wit
messed for years the futile attempts of
apostles of Western civilization to up
lift the Chinese people as a body. He
has determined that the methods were
all wrong.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Ques-
tions affecting the railroad situation oc
cupied more or less of the attention
OF President Roosevelt today. During
the morning there were informal talks
with some Of mis- callers on the sub
ject and a dispatch came from Presi-
dent Mellen Of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford. making an ap-
pointment for Tuesday In the after
noon there was visit from Governor
Deneen and Attorney General Staad OF
Illinois Semi official denial was made
that the Governor and Attorney Gen.
eral talked either railroads or finance
to the President. From the statements
lowever which have come from author
itative quarters preceding the visit
the inference is drawn, that there was
ton deal, which figures prominently
in the recent Hartman Investigation.
The rumor gained currency during the
morning that the President intended
to issue statement regarding his
attitude but these reports proved
groundless and later 1t was ascertain
ed that the President would not issue
such a statement today nor has he
any such idea in contemplation. One
of the Presidents callers today was
James Speyer, head of Speyer and Co.,
of New York 1t was impossible to
ascertain from either the White House
or Speyer the purpose of the visit. 1t
could not be ascertained either what
Deneen and the President discussed.

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-F. Angus. tus Heinze, wno has been for years n conspicuous figure in the copper pro. ducing industry, declared today that the price of the metal had declined about as far as it would go.
 "No one can tell exactly what the future of the market will be-" he said. "I thinx that the decline has now brought the metal to basis where actual sales can be made. There is n possibility that the decline may extend onc-nalf or one full cent more, although l am inclined to believe that n proper selling basis has about been reached and that the price of l5 cents n pound will prove attractive to many people who have been holding out. ] want 10 say, positively, however, that with copper selling at i4 or i5 cents a pound, there is plenty of money .n the business for the producing com. panies."

BIO RUN OF CATTLE AT KANsAs
 CITY MARKET.
Special Correspondence.

SpcciaI Correspondence.
 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS. Sept. 23.-A big run of cattle and an extraordinary demand were the fca- lures last week. Receipts were 9l,sO0 head, including 1J,400 calves, the big gcst week ever known at this market, and the demand not only absorbed this great total, but the number held over at the end of the week was reduced 2,OOO head as compared with close of the previous week. Inc market de- clincd 10 to 25 cents during the week. Supply today ia 10000 head less than on last Monday, or l0,0o0 head; mar. kct strong Co 10 cents higher; she stun to 15 cents higher. Purchases of stockcrs and feeders last week broke all previous records at Kansas City, or at any other market in the world, a total of 1850 ear loads going to country points in Missouri, Kan. sas, Illinois, Iowa and other states, in the order named. 4 great many coun. try buyers are here today, and the linn. tied supply makes a good market on country grades. Wyoming killers sold at $500 here today, Colorados lately at $3.90 to $4.25, Panhandlcs around 500, feeders at s3.75 Co siG5, stock steers $3.35 to $4.25, western cows $a.s5 Co $3.45, PaDnandlcs snd New Mcxicos $2.65 Co s3.l0, calves s3.75 Co 5000 The exceptional demand from all sources, together with the quick recovery of the market today on re. daced supplies, indicates that October prices will likely be more. attractive than present range, in view of rec duced marketing likely Co develop within the next week or two.
 Sheep and lamb supplies last week were 41,000 head; market steady for the week on sheep, but lambs declined 10 to l5 cents late in the week. Sup. ply today Il,000 head, including a good share of country kinds, and the market steady. Western wcthcrs and yearlings for killers bring &5.so to s5.s5, ewes s5.25 to s5.5O, lambs $7.oo to $40. Tncrc is n strong demand for feeding stuff, lambs at s6.60 to s6.s5, yearlings s5.s5 10 s5.7O, and ex. traordinary prices are being paid for breeding ewes, at s5.35 to &6.75. With country buyers taking nearly 30 per cent of the receipts, the market is likely to stand up under pretty liberal receipts

DEPUTY AoCUsED or SHOOTING
 AT MAN.
(Ffom Tuesday's Daily.)

Sheriff Lowry returned last evening from Cedar Glade, with Deputy sheriff II. Carson, who is accused of shooting at Louis Gonzales with n sixshooter, a few days ago, at a wood camp in that vicinity. Speaking of the shooting, last evening. sheriff Lowry said that it seemed to him as if 1t was spite work on the part of Gonzales to swear to n complaint charging the deputy with shooting at nim.
 "I investigated the affair."" sad the sheriff, "and found that Deputy Carson was cleaning his pistol, when it was accidentally discharged. The dep. uty was standing in the doorway of n cabin, cleaning the gun, when Gonzales entered the place. Gonzales later pass. cd ont, and was on the other side of the building, when Carson reached out with one hand to close the screen door, and accidentally discharged the weapon. Deputy Carson had no reason to shoot at Gonzales, and if he had he certainly would not shoot In the opposite direction. There is no reason why Carson should be prosecuted for the accidental discharge of his pis. tol."
 Carson was not locked up.
