Tho main details of the will of Cecil llhuuea have been announced. The 'euture cf the will Is a provision fur ieliolai ships for English speaking tcung men in all parts of the world, 't nU only includes men from tho .'ulotiies of Ureal Iliitaiti, but two ii holai ships Ire m caih state and tur lilury cf tho l ulled Slates. A fund of Jlh.nOO.ODO is p.evidi'd to educate this j rent, army of young men at Oxford, Mr. Khoilcs' aln.a muter, $1.5nil being provided lor rai h jehulai ship. The jxaminations ate not to be educational llone, but a contest is provided fur which will primat e men physically as well as mentally fitted to go out Into ihu world to battle for his great Ideas A unity of spirit in the English race. Mr. Khialcs also provides for livo Jcruiiin bclielarships at Oxford, to be Dominated by Emperor William. W. T. Stead has written the follow ing for the Associated I'ress: "Mr Khiides' fiisf will was made In September, lisVi, when he was a young man of 21. At that time be was only beginning to amass the wealth which, hefore ho died, had made him a mulll lullliouaiie not In dollars, but In pounds tterliirj. His iast will was dated July 1, 1S10. L'ut tho two doc uments me essentially alike in senti ment. They both embody, in express terms, what was ever the master thought of this master mind, the nec essity tor pminoUtig the reunion uf Hie English-speaking raeo. "Mr. Khodes' will appoints a well known group of seven of his friends as genornl executors of his estate. This group is further charged to un dertake the duty of acting as trustees tor the educaiioi,al endowment fund cf exceptional interest, which will pro voke the liveliest discussion and ex cite the keenest Interest throughout both the United States and the Brit-i:-h empire, for both communities share In the benefit of Mr. Khodes' bequest. Mr. Rhodes was a graduate of Oxford and a student at Oriel college, to which by the way ho has left a special bequest of .jii,uo0. He has made Ox ford university, In whose glories the American descendants of its founders sliaro equally with those who still in habit the old country, the center of Ills educational scheme, and he has lnft a sum, which may be roughly cap italized ns representing $10,iuil,unU for the foundation of Anglo-American seholarsnips, tenablo at Oxford, for three years. To his thinking, the uni versity, better than any other Institu tion, naturally affords a vivifying cen ter of ra e unity. It rs free from all pclitical complications, and a residen tial university, with tho old traditions of Oxford, seemed to him tho best til ted for the puiposi: he had in view." According to The Daily Telegraph the will of Cecil Rhodes deals with a ti.tnl or .tti.''f'i.ni'. Deaths From Falling Seats. .'ill' fierce stru.gie of the great crowds which gathered at Ibrox park, Glasgow. Saturday to witness the last International Association football contest between teams from England and St'UUud caused tlm collapse of a portion of one of the spectators' ter races, .resulting In tho death of 21 per sons and the Injury of li50 others, 20 of whom are bevond hope. When the lame benan 70.000 spec tators were en tho grounds and an luiti'.wisu crowd had gathered outside. Doing ltnah!'! to obtain admittance, this crowd hi eke down some of the barriers and swarmed upon the field, whereupon the police charged and drove the intruders back uinm the ter race and scats, with the result that tho railings dividing the crowds were broken and the people were thrown over e. icli other. Li the frantic struggle towards the exits the pressure toward the upper portion of the winterly terrace was so great that a hundred feet cf the high est putt ol tlie ntruelure collapsed tinder tho weight of the crowd driven upon it, precipitating tlie mass of peo ple to tho ground, sixty feet bciow. The Injured were piled In heaps, wed ritl In v. ith breken wood. Activity In Building Trades. Hradstrect's Weekly Hevlew of Trade aas: Oats aie coming up well and spring wheat planting, though backward, will shortly become general. Wet, stormy weather in the eastern half of the cotton belt lias unquestionably In terfered with farming preparations. About the usual spring unrest in the leading inili,f.irieH Is noted, but the only inip.inunt strike Is that of the soft coal miners In Pennsylvania. Special piomise of activity Is held nut this year In the building trades, which are active buyers of white and yellow pine, hardwoods and hardware. Price char.gps for the week are un important, cotton figuring most largely in the matter of advances, partly be cause of iwht receipts caused by bad wctther and the continued heavy ex port s.

Increased Agricultural Exports. Tho department of agriculture at Washington. D. C, baa Issued a state ment cf the foicign tiade of the United States In agricultutal products. It shows that during the fiscal year 1101 foreign co'tntriei purchased American farm products to the value of $952, Ooo.iHO representing the largest agri cultural exports in our history. Com pared wilh the record for 1900 they Viow.an Increase of over JlOO.OOO.OuO. Agricultural Impoits on the other land disclose a considerable falling 3ff when contrasted with the trade of the year preceding. The various pro ducts of agriculture received from for eign Retirees during 19il had an ag gregate value of only $392,000,000 or l2S.oo0.tK0 less than in 19u0. In ci u panson with the value of our agricultural Imports our agricultural exports show the exceptionally large ext ebs of l.'if.O.onO.onn. The leading Ileitis among our agri cultural liuptirts for 1901 were sugar, coffee, hides and skins, silk, veget able fi'iues, fruits, hides and skins, tea, wines, cocoa, vegetablo oils, dis tilled S)iiits, feeds, vegetables and spices, the ccmblned value of these items amounting to about $358,000,000.

I., wh'.th Is built along the ocean edge, were tleitroycd by a lire which swept the bench front for two long blocks from Illinois avenue to New York avo liuc. The loss, it n believed, will ex ceed $7."o.U0O. In this respect tho conflagration is the most disastrous that has ever visited that city. Tiie loss will be only partly covered by in surance as tho rate of 5 per cent, charged by insurance companies on property hero, Is regarded as almost prohibitive. Foitiinate'.y no lives were lost, thouuh probably a dozen persons were slightly injured and burned dining tho progress of the fire. Tho oilgin of tho fire is unknown but Is said to have started In either Brady's bath or the Tarletnn which adjoins the baths at Illinois avenue and the Hoard Walk. In Honor of Senator Piatt.

He Never Gve Major Wilier Power of Lifi and Death. Telia cf the Capture cf Insurgent Gen eral Lukbni", Difficulties of the Ex pedition Tour of Inspection of Min danao and Samar General Cha.fee to Receive Gueverra'a Surrender. Manila, April S. General Jacob IL Smith, commanding the American for tes in the island of Samar, was tho only witness yesterday at tho trial of Major Walier of the marine corps, by court martial. General Smith denied that he ever gave Mujor Waller power of life and death exceeding general order No. 100. Ho said he received the first nows of the killings at Basey, where Major Wallet and Lieutenant Bay of the mar ine corps, r.re charged with having killed three natives, from General Chaffee. General Smith explained that his order to Major Waller about not being burdened with prisoners meant that ho should disarm and re leaso those prisoners who were not charged with serious offences. Ho said that he did nut understand the meaning of Major Waller's telegram about "expending 11 prisoners." The otueial rcpuit of Lieutenant Strebler of the Philippine scouts on the capture of the Insurgent General I.ukban has been published and Is endorsed by General Smith. The latter considers tho report to be con cise and graphic. U is impossible for any one not acquainted with the Is land of Samar, says Geneial Smith, to reali.e the difficulties and hard ships of the expedition. Strebler's command 13 entitled to the highest praise for one of the most Important captures ever made In the Philippines. General Smith strongly recommends that Strebler bo given a commission as first Lieutenant in the regulars and that Sergeant Lorn be made a second Lieutenant of the native scouts. These reeonuuendu-ions have been endorsed by General Wade and approved by General Chaffee. General Chaffee thinks, however, that congressional action may be required In order to ob tain the desired commission fur sec ond Lieutenant Strebler. Ho has al ready given Sergeant Lora a commis sion as second lieutenant In the scouts. Generals Chaffee and Sanger left here on board the United States Gunbout Princeton, on a tour of inspection to the Zumboanga district of the island of Mindanao and the island of Samar. They will probably be absent until after April l.'i. upon which date Gue verra, Lukban's successor In Samar, will surrender. Cholera at Manila. Manila, April 8.

Ho said in an Interview that he was pro pared to return tu thn Philippines and secure dual peace, provided the Unit ed States guvo some Intimation to the Filipinos, not necessarily of their Im mediate but of their ultimate status. Regarding the order preventing h!3 return to tho Philippines Lopez said that the American authorities did not object to his landing In Manila pro viding he tot k the oath of allegiance. He rofufied to do this, because ho did not believe that anyone had a right to interfere with his liberty of con science. Lopez snys that he believes that his task of securing peace would be nn easy one if Dr. Schurman's proposals were carried Into effect. Wreck on Great Northern. Spokane, Wash., April 8.
