St. Petersburg, Sept. 4.—It Is assert

grace, and that he Is to be succeeded
as commandant of the palace by Gen
eral Bart Ktelgels, who had made a
record for his cruelty and harshness as
prefect and aa governor of Kief.
Report has It that TrepolT's recent
Illness, which Is atributed in some
quarters to poison, has left him In
such a shape physically that It la fear
ed he may not be able to undergo the
strain of guarding the esar's person
from the terrorists. The fact that on
would-be assassins have penetrated
the lines' about the palace has caused
his majesty, It Is said, to lose confl-

City Schools Will Be Worse
Crowded Than Ever
Before.
Bright and early Tuesday morning
some 15,000 happy school children
wended their why to Atlanta's school
houses, ready for another nine months’
struggle with their books.

that It would be Impossible to give out
a report as to the total enrollment un
til late In the afternoon.
All departments announce a decided
Increase, and the school authorities, are
looking for a record-breaking attend
ance this year. While of course this
will he gratifying to those In charge,
as It means a substantial evidence of
the popularity of Atlanta's school sys
tem, still It has Its drawbacks, as the
schools will be terribly overcrowded.
Last year with a very much smqller
attendance there was n scarcity of aC'
cnmodatlons, and . this year the author
hies hardly knew how to cope with the
situation. Everythlnlg possible will be
done, however, to relieves the conges
tion, and the teachers hope that with
in a ahort time they will be able to
give a sent to every pupil who applies.

Havana, Sept. 4.—Pino Guerra
stand* In the way of peace In Cuba. It
Is understood that the Insurgent lead
ers are willing to lay down their arms
providing the Plnar del Rio chieftain
does so, under a. promise! of.general
amnesty and an election law which
will assure a free vote and. a fair
count. This la aa far as the govern
ment Is willing to go In dealing with
the Insurgents. * „
It la understood here that pressure Is
being brought to bear on Guerra, but
It If doubtful if he will agree to lay
down hla arms on these terms. Gen
eral Mario Menocat Is said to be the
Intermediary between the rebels and
the government. In the meantime the
revolutionary forces are gaining
strength In both Ptnar del Rio and
Santa Clara. In the' latter province
General Gusman has been elected com
mander In chief by the various bands
of Insurgents operating in that pro
vince, with Colonel Juan Bravo as his
lieutenant.
Gusman now has 700 .fairly well
armed men under his command. Guer
ra has. It is said, taken up his march
toward Bahia Honda, where a revolu
tionary band under Marchette Is in
control. Colonel Altavos, who was
sent to force Guerra Into a light, has
fallen back on San Juan de Marline?.,
unable to bring the rebel leader to bay.
It la hinted that Avaloex was not over
anxious to bring about a general en
gagement.
Guerra Is reported at Mantua, 15
miles northwest of Guanes. No news
of Importance came from Santiago or
the other eastern provinces.

PERMANENT FAIR BUILDINGS ARE
FAVORED BY SECRETARY COOPER
Secretary • Walter O. Cooper, secre
tary of the chamber of commerce, who
has returned to Atlanta after a three
weeks' absence during which time he
visited the Canadian National fair,
strongly In favor of the erection of
permanent buildings at the Atlanta
fair grounds, as Is the case at the fair
grounds at Toronto.
5fr. Cooper left Atlanta some three
weeks ago along with the Joint com
mittee for Minneapolis to appear be
fore the Grand Army of the Republic
reunion In' behalf of the proposed na
tional parks of Atlanta. Mr. Cooper
stated that the chnncea are very
strongly In favor of Atlanta securing
the hoped for appropriation as there
Is a wide Interest tnken In the matter
throughout the country.
After leaving the City of Waters Mr.
Cooper and Craig Cofteld went through
the Great lakes.' visited Canada, and
after taking In Niagara, came home
via. the New York Oceanic Steamship
line to Savannah.
The fair In Toronto Is an annual
Institution and backed by the city of
Toronto which clears upward of 350,-
000 per year although the admission
charged Is only 25 cents. In the num
ber of exhibits It is about twice as
large as t|te Georgia state fair and the
grounds contain 3800,000 worth of re
manent brick exhibit buildings wl
have been put up from time to time
ua the finances of the city allowed.
Mr. Cooper stated Tuesday that In
Ilia opinion Canada would some day be
one of the great powers of the world.
"The number of Industries of all kinds
from cut glass to the manufacture of
minerals Into commercial articles Is
surprising," said Mr. Cooper. "The tar
iff laws Imposed by' the .United States
have made these people independent
and they have built up a large trade
even In the foreign countries."
While In Canada Mr. Cooper and Mr.
Cnflelil called upon Sir Mortimer
Clarke, lieutenant governor of the do-
minion and among other matters dis
cussed tho tariff laws. Sir Mortimer
said:
"The United States will somo day
come to Its sdnses and its tariff will
be lifted."
