GOVERNOR TENER
PENNS IL NA1IA

Roosevelt's interest in the original Ian
guage of the Irish, to revive which a re-
cent movement has been on foot. When
Mr. Roosevelt was President he sent
Prof Egan to Denmark, and President
Taft has kept him there.
Another professor in the Catholic
University at Washington whom Roose-
welt drafted into the government serv-
ice and whom President Taft has retain
ed is that guardian Of the working
labor, DR.. Charles Patrick Neill, whose
parents were both Irish Catholics, his
mother being Walsh. He first attract
ed Roosevelt's attention by his good
work as assistant recorder of the famed
anthracite commisson which investigated
the coal strike of ten years ago. He is
the man whom President Taft sends out
to arbitrate strikes when possible, and
both capital and labor have confidence IN
him. He is a Phi. D. of Johns Hopkins,
and a sociologist and economist of inter-
national distinction.
We have one governor of Irish birth
John X. Tener of Pennsylvania. He was
born in County Tyrone and was brought
to Pittsburgh at the age OF nine. While
clerking for a steel concern in the Smoky
city he became a pitcher on an amateur
base ball team, one Of whose games was
accidentally witnessed by Pop" Anson,
captain Of the Chicago professionals.
Where did you get onto that curve?"
the admiring Anson asked the young
Irishman. Invented it," replied Tener,
and within week he was enrolled as a
pitcher for the Chicago team, with which
he soon afterward toured the world, un-
Ger the management of Spalding. But
shortly after returning to America Tener
crippled his pitching arm while expert
menting with a new curve. So, having
saved a few thousand dollars. he invest
ed his money in real estate, helped found

In the army there now are seven living

John O'Connell when a college professor

through the Pine Ridge Indian campaign
in 1894. He was the first white man to
land in Cuba after the declaration of war
with Spain, this distinction having been at
tanned by his jumping overheard from a
boat and swimming ashore. He also
served in the Philippines.

the people is to talk about the reduc-

constant changes. Of course, anyone
who will stop for minute to think,

will know that the superintendent of
education has absolutely nothing to do
with the adoption of text books, or the
price, and as a matter of fact, the
adoption was made only last year and
the price fixed, and the contracts en-
tered into with the publishers and the
State for a term of five years, and the
county superintendent of education

changes.

there should be vacancy, by death

one of the four.
The following is the resolution:

There is another matter to which
would like to refer: My opponent in
the second primary made statement
in his talk at Young's Grove, to the
effect that a professor of Clemson COL
lege had stated to him that upon re-
quest the authorities of Clemson COL
lege would send a member Of the ia
cultv to any rural school, and that he
would remain from one to six days,
and lecture to the children and the
people of the community, without cost
to the school district. AS soon as he
came off the stand, l asked him for
the name of the professor who had
made that statement, because felt
that it was the intention to make it
appear that 1 had been derelict in my
duty, if had not secured this free

Very respectfully,
Cole. L. Blease,
Governor.

Since the 9Th of January, have not
been member of the State hospital
commission. The commission did re-
quest me to remain as secretary, or
clerk, during the session Of the legis-
lature, inasmuch as l was familiar
with the details of the work, having
kept the books and disbursed the
money, and was, therefore, in better
position to give the members of the
legislature information concerning the
expenditures than any one else would
have been. This I consented to do,
and at the request of the commission
have continued since that time to act
sill nly as secretary of the commission,
and have kept the books. For Mr.. Hills
benefit, will say that l am not doing
this work without compensation,
though the compensation received is
not commensurate with the work
which is being done. For the further
information of those who may desire
to know. the legislature passed the

MUCH ATTENTION
 GIVEN CRISP LOAN
Opinion in Banking Circles Is That It Can Hardly
 Fail

London, septembber 1.--The London morning papers make the Crisp loan their leading feature. It is unprecedented for loan to get such attention. and all though various opinions are expressed, the view of the majority favors the new loan. They argue the advisability in the interests of both China and Great Britain of breaking down the six power monopoly and express the opinion that the British foreign office has mismanaged the af- fair.
 The opinion in financial circles appears to be that the new loan backed by four powerful banks, can hardly fail After the British minister's protest at Picking. some London underwriters of the loan became nervous, wFereupon MT. Crisp or fered to relieve them of their undertaking and pay them F Of l per cent commission for their trouble.i
 The Picking cores pondent of the Daily Mall says the Chinese governpent pro- poses to pay of all the Boxer arrears with the proceeds of the new loan. He adds that in addition to the salt tax. the Crisp group have other securities yield ing yearly income of s7 500.Oo0.
 According to the Picking correspondent ofathe Times, President Yuan Shi Kai has informed Sir John N. Jordan. the Brit ish minister. that he Is powerless to can eel the loan.

Surrender of General Mena Ends Short But Bloody COnflict-He Will Be
 Sent to Panama

Washington. September 26-With the short but bloody Nicaraguan revolution practically terminated by the surrender to Rear Admiral southerland of General Mena, the principal rebel leader, the state department already Is considering the next steps to be taken in Nicaragua As soon as complete tranquility Is re- stored with sound evidence that Pres ident Diaz's government is in condi- tion to afford the full protection to for eign life and property and would fepress anarchy. tne American naval forces will be withdrawn. thus again aft4rdipg eV4- dence to tlie world at large, and partic- ularly to the now suspicious Central American republics, of the aitruistic mo- tives that have animated tho United States government in intervening in Me aragua
 Only one guarantee is to be expected from President Diazs government and that is that the next president of Mica ragua shall be the free and untram- melled choice of majority of the pop ulation of the country. This will be fol- lowing the precedent recently set in Pan anna, where a liberal majority, almost for the first time in the history of Latin American politics was enabled to come into power against the opposition of a powerful conservative government, with out the shedding of blood or threat of rebellion.
 As in that case, it may be necessary for the United states to supervise the approaching elections in Nicaragua. How ever, President Diaz. whose term ex- pres by limitation January 1, has so far given no intimation of desire to continue in office after that date, so 1t may be possible for the country to hold elections satisfactory to all sides without foreign supervision.
 Officials here are much pleased with the conduct of the American blue jackets and marines under Rear Admiral South erland, who forced the opening of the railroad from Managua to Granada with out bloodshed.
 General Mena of the Nicaraguan rebels is to be sent to Panama under guard of American sailors and blue jackets. Amer ican Minister Weitze reported today that Rear Admiral Southerland had accepted the surrender of Mena and 100 followers at midnight, September 24 His capture is taken to indicate the collapse of the revolution and his removal to Panama probably means exile.
 Officials nere believe that the general will be permitted to surrender to the admiral for fear of summary action at the hands of NicaragIlan federals and the admiral doubtless thought 1t advisable to get the rebel leader away from the country.
