port says the l.CMMi schools there, good
as they are, cannot successfully cope
with the tremendous illiteracy and the
vast army of children lu need of edu

children In school this year, and
the enrollment next yenr will be 00,

part of the deninnd for teachers. An
annual appropriation by congress of
not less than $.".00,000 per annum for
ten years Is urged. This, the report
says, would equip the Island with prop

A NIGHT UNDER WATER.
Fifteen llonra nt the lloHiinl of New
lurk liny I nhnrim-d.
I XKW YORK, Nov. 2.'i.-In the pres
ence of a big crowd which despite the
storm assembled to witness the emerg
ing of the submarine bout Fulton that
, craft rose from the bottom of the bay
j yesterday morning at 10:.'!0 o'clock
, with all well and greatly surprised to
; find there was a storm raging.
The test of the Fulton's staying pow
: e'rs was highly satisfactory net only to
i the otllcers of the company that built
her and the naval ollicers present, but
to those who went to the bottom In the
boat. They report there was not the
slightest discomfort to them during
their more than llfteen hours of sub
mersion beneath the surface.
Captain Cable of the Holland compa
ny, who was in command, said that
the boat could have remained down for
three months If there was food enough
on board. Although there was but sis
feet of water over the top of the turret,
those on board felt nothing of the
storm. Through the night there was a
light rolling motion to the craft, but
this was ascribed to the regular mo
tion of the water and not to the dis
turbance which was rolling the waves
high on the shore.
THE ROLLER BOAT.
Inventor (ietn Her Acroii the St.
I.nwrenee, hut Slick In the Mad.
OGHEN.SBURG, X. Y., Nov. 20.
Knapp's roller boat has demonstrated
its ability to roll. In a blinding snow
storm, with a stiff north wind, it rolled
from Prescott across the St. Lawrence
river to Ogdensburg, but missed the
channel to the upper harbor and rolled
Into the soft mud on a bar abreast the
city and settled hard, surrounded by
snow and ice. A steamer following the
roller was unable to get near her owing
shallow water. Efforts to tow the
boat by loug hawsers into deep water
were unsuccessful, and she may not be
released until spring. The Inventor and
stockholder who were on board were
taken off in small boats. The Inventor
claims success.
The boat Is 110 feet loug and 22 feet
in
diameter. An engine is-suspended
in a car in the center. The motive pow
er is applied in the form of a climbing
engine. Mr. Knapp says he will now
build an ocean roller boat 800 feet long
and 200 feet In diameter, with a enpati
ty of 4,000,000 bushels of wheat and a
speed of twelve knots nn hour.
Greek Cabinet Itenlitnu.
ATHENS, Greece. Nov. 25. As a re
sult of the demonstrations against the
proposed translation of the gospels Into
modern (J reek the Grecian cabinet has
resigned. This action was taken in
spite of King George's efforts to Induce
the cabinet nnd M. Theotokis, the pre
mier, to remain in office. M. Theotokis
considers the responsibility of a Judi
cial inquiry Into the recent riots should
be left to another cabinet In order that
the truth may be established beyond
suspicion.

ISTHMUS TRANSIT IS REOPENED.
Fierce Fltrlillna nn the Hnllrond

COLON, Nov. 2(5. An nrmcd guard
of marines from the I'nlted States
battleship Iowa has re-established the
transit across the Isthmus, and de
tails from the Iowa's marines are now
protecting each passenger train.
There has been fierce lighting at Em
pire Station, on the railroad line be
tween Panama and Colon, between the
insurgents and the troops of the Co
lombian government, with very heavy
losses on both sides.
Transit trnlllc had been suspended
for several hours, when the I'nlted
States cruiser Iowa landed 200 men.
At a conference Sunday night the
commander of the General Pluzon
agreed to postpone landing his troops
until Friday. The vessel left In the
morning, It Is supposed for Porto
Bello.
Sunday morning nt 10 o'clock the
schooner Clapet and a railroad barge
returned to Panama, bringing u."0 men
from Chorrera, being (he remainder of
General Albnn's expedition.
Great crowds gathered at the wharf
to witness the landing of the soldiers.
They were received with bands of mu
sic, but the music sounded mournful
and more like a funeral inarch than
the Joyful strains of welcome to a vic
torious army. General Alban looked
his usual nnd calm self and acted more
like a man on whose hands time hangs
heavily for want of something to do
thau one coping with grave responsi
bilities under trying circumstances.
At half past 3 in the afternoon at the
bead of 700 men General Alban left
I'anama by train for Empire Station,
where the Liberals were reported to be
In fairly strong numbers. His purpose
was to surprise and rout them. The
train bearing these troops wns held up
Just before it arrived at the Culebra sta
tion owing to the Liberals opening tire
on Alban's advance guard. Alban dis
embarked his men from the train,
which returned to Panama. The fight
ing at Culebra lasted from 4:40 until I)
p. m.
The Revs. Loveridge nnd Jacobs,
Baptist and Wesleyau ministers re
spectively, narrowly escaped being
shot. Their house lu Culebra was rid
dled with bullets.
The government troops continued to
advance, nnd the fighting was stub
born all nlong the nllroad line and
continued until Empire Station, a mile
and a half distant, was reached. The
Liberals continued slowly to retreat,
Alban's men following them, until the
Intter eventually reached Matachln sta
tion. Here he met and conferred with
Captain Perry of the Iowa, who was
returning from Colon on an armored
train.
Between the stations of Culebra and
Empire over 150 killed and wounded
men could be seen along the track. The
sight was grewsome. There is no prop
er Red Cross organization, and the
wounded lack care. The Liberals at
Colon declare the majority of the men
killed on the line to be Conservative
troops and that the rebels are still in
force along the railroad.

HAS LOST HIS SIGHT.
Jnlen Verne, Fninon French Ro.
mancrr, lleported to lime lie
come Completely llllnd.
Jules Verne, who is reported to
nnvp heroine to'nlly blind at his home
in Amiens, France, has been a sufferer
with deficit tit ryes for a long time.
The great romancer of science is now
in his seventy-third yrnr, but he hns
never ceased his literary work, even
after his sight began to fail, lie pub
Ubhed a novel only three years ago,
JULES VERNE.
(Famous French Novelet Has Completely
Lost His Sight.)
and, although this did not bear the vig
orous itainp of his early work, it was
by no means weak. M. Verne recently
distinguished himself by declining a
seat in the French academy for the sec
ond time. He began his lite rury career
as a dramatist and for 13 years lnliored,
successfully in the field as a writer of
comedies. It was not until 1HG3 that be
published the first of the stories upon
which his fame wns to rest. This was
"Five Weeks in n Balloon." Its imme
diate nnd rebounding success .induced
M. lie Verne toeontinue to exploit him
eelf in this direction and the result was.
that widely read series of romances
which have delighted the world, young
and old, for 30 years or more. M.
Verne's chief amusement since his
youth has been yachting. He owns
a fine steam yacht unci his happiest
days have been those spent on Its decks.
o Xevr Women There.
It is extremely difficult for Chinese
of the higher classes to find hushnuds
for their daughters whose feet have
attnined the natural size. It is
thought that women who desire un
mnimed feet are actuated by no hon
orable motive, the crippling making
it difficult for them to go about and
keeping them more closely at home
than would be the case if they had
full use of the stunted members.
Love between husband and wife as
it exists omong Christian people Is
unknown in China, and it is a subject
that it is not considered decorous to
discuss. Suicide is common among
women of all classes,, and aside from
grief after bereavement, unhuppiness
in marriage is the most common
cause of such tragedies. Hundreds
of wives, it is estimated, end their
lives every year in Peking alone.
