WHAT THt READERS
 THINK OF IHE PAPER
Testimonials of Satisfaction by Distant Readers of the Homeseekers' Edi- tio-

As the days go by congratulations are beginning to be received by The Republican from readers some distance away who have received and are en- gagged in perusing the special Home seekers edition of this newspaper. IL is not intended to publish all the nice things that are said but some refer ence will not be amiss as showing the papers appreciation of these senti- ments. In the meantime such testimo- nials will do The Republican no harm.
 One that may be referred to with pride comes from John Kavanaugh. dealer in general merchandise at Troy. Arizona. He writes: Referring to the Homeseekers' Edition. I beg to say that it is the biggest and best accum- ulation of facts relating to the Salt River valley. that has ever been put into the hands of the public
 Another very complimentary men ton is from the Daily Prospector of Tombstone. which says: "The special Homeseekers' Edition of The Arizona Republican is on our desk and reflects great credit on that admittedly able journal. IL shows up resources and conditions without any ex- aggeratiOn and is calculated to stim- ulate Immigration to Arizona without the immigrant and is calculated to do important good"

Lisbon, April 5,-Following the cleo tions today rioting broke out in this city tonight. The troops finally fired on the mob. killing and wounding a number of persons. The elections were attended by only minor disorders but tonights riOting was put down by the most vigorous action by the police and troops RiotinG broke out in different parts of the city as if by a precon certed plan. The troops had been held in reserve and repeatedly charged the mcbs but without effect.
 The rioters used clubs and stones and finally the troops were obliged to fire. killing and wounding number. The mObs shortly after dispersed.
 The vote cast was probably the heaviest in the history of the country. The result will probably not be known until Tuesday. In a general way it resulted as the parties in control had planned. A large monarchist party composed of the two old rotative par ties is assured.

INNER TRADE
 IMPROVING As Shown by Comparison of Consecutive Months
Still Behind When COm- pared With Last Years Corresponding Months.

Washington, April J.--A slight inn proyement in the industrial and com- me-cial situation of the country com pared with January is shown by the February report on internal commerce. tics. of the department of commerce and lapor While the volume of lead- ing commercial movements in most cases was smaller than a year ago. the coal. iron and building trades re port better results for the month as compared with the first month of the year. The traffic activity of the rail- ways fer the first time since last Oc- tober likewise shows slight change for the better.
 Receipts of live stock at seven inte- rior primary markets during February 3,6S0.734 head. show daily average below that obtaining for the preced ing month. though being in excess of the February. 1907 and 1906. figures of 3.3l2. 533 and 3.S13O9s head. All the markets in question show larger re- ceipts than year ago, the increases being especially notable in the cases of Chicago and St. Paul. This increase Is due. however. exclusively to the larger number of hogs received. 2.311,- 637 head. compared with 1.S16.051 head reported for February. 1907. Receipts Of all classes of live stock for the first two months of the year totalled S.210,- 572 head as against I,176.9TS head re- ported for the corresponding 1907 pe- riod.

London. April 5.-Great Britain to- night is in a peculiar position being without either premier ministry. The .0ng expected resignation of Henry Campbell Zimmerman was officially announced and it now rests with the king to choose a new head of the gov ernment. In accordance with custom the entire cabinet resigns with the premier. There is no precedent of a change of premiership while the king is abroad. On this account the success sion was deferred until MT. Asquith reaches Biarritz.
 It is practically determined that As quith will succeed Zimmerman. Mon day was set for the second reading of the licensing bill which was regarded as most dangerous to the ministry's tenure of office. This. debate will prob ably be postponed until after Easter.

is NO DISTRIBUTION
Peabody Educational Funds
Held Up Awaiting Ten
nessee Appropriation.
THE ACT CAUSES SURPRISE

New York, Oct s.-Surprise was
occasioned when the trustees of the
Peabody educational fund met in this
city and decided not to make final
distribution of the fund of $2,500,000
left by George Peabody, of Massachus-
etts, in 1867 for educating the children
of the southern states.
The donor provided that the income
of the s2,500,000 was to be used each
year for educational purposes and
that at the end of 80 years the trus-
tees could distribute the money among
such educational institutions as they
should select. At previous meet
ing of the trustees, among whom is
President Roosevelt, it was practically
decided to make the distribution.
In 1875 the trustees established the
Peabody Normal college for teachers
in Nashville, Tenn. 1t was intended
to give $1,000,000 outright to this col
lege and to apportion the balance of
the fund among others, but the Pea
body Normal college had failed to pro
vide $750,000, as the conditions speci-
fly, in appropriations from the city of
Nashville. Davidson county and the
state of Tennessee. Joseph P. Choate
and Richard Olney reported that the
city and county have appropriated
| 100000, but the state has done moth
| ing, though probably it will do some
thing when the legislature meets in
January.
The distribution therefore will be
postponed until after the legislature
meets.

FULTON ALWAYS
INTERESTING LAD
In Earlier Days in Life He Was
Interested in Mechanics.

There are several anecdotes which
relate to Robert Fulton's early interest
in mechanics-the first steps of progress
toward his later skill. In 1773, when
he was eight years old, his mother.
having previously taught him to read
and write. sent him to school kept by
Mr.. Caleb johnson, Quaker gentle
man of pronounced Tory principles-so
pronounced. in fact, that he narrowly
escaped with his life during the Revo-
luton. But Robert Fulton did not care
for books, and he began at very early
age to search for problems never mas
tered and bound in print. This greatly
distressed the Quaker teacher, who
spared not the rod, and it is said that
in administering such discipline on the
hand of Robert Fulton he one day tes-
tily exclaimed. ''There, that will make
you do somethingr' to which Robert,
with folded arms. replied, "Sir, came
to have something beaten into my
brains and not into my knuckles."
Without doubt he was a trial to his
teacher.
He entered school one day very late.
and when the master inquired the rea-
son Robert, with frank interest, re-
piled that he had been at Nicholas MIL
ler's shop pounding out lead for a pen
Gil. 1T is the very best ever had,
sir" he affirmed as he displayed his
product. The master, after an examl.

cellent When Roberts mother, who
had been distressed by his lack of ap-
plication to his studies. expressed to
his teacher her pleasure at signs of
improvement the latter confided to her
that Robert had said TO him. MY head
is so full of original notions that there
is no vacant chamber to stow away the
contents of dusty books"
These incidents to the contrary, 1t is
nevertheless true that Robert Fulton
did absorb good knowledge of the
rudiments of Mountaineering Mag
