laughed and cried, in the fullness of
their Joy when they comprehended all
that the announcement meant.
Ex-governor W. J. Northen, who was on
the platform, sprang to his feet and asked
the women of Georgia in the great audi
ence to stand up and then, when they had
done so. asked the whole audience to
stand up. not as people of one state or
many states, but as people of one coun
try.

of the meeting. In a pause in the speak
ing. Mr. Ogden said that Mr. William H.
Baldwin had a word to say.
Mr. Baldwin said that as the president
of the general education board, he wished
to speak, more particularly to the women
of Georgia, because this was memorial
day, which they had always done so much
to observe. To them the board had a spe
cial message to be made through its sec
retary. Dr. Wallace Butterick. Dr. But
tertck's announcement was briefly this:
•The general education board will sub

EDUCATION IS THEME
OF ATHENS SESSION.
ATHENS. Ga.. April 25.—The superbly
eloquent address of Gov. C. B. Aycock
of North Carolina, was the feature of the
forenoon seston of the educational confer
ence. Governor Aycock's subject was:
••Education and the Voluntary Tax.” He
was repeatedly interrupted by applause
and when he ceased speaking the entire
audience rose to cheer him.
Governor Aycock said that the state of
North Carolina had determined that every
of the state, white and black, should
be educated. If there were some who did
not think that the negroes ought to be ed
ucated. he did not agree with them. No
uneducated force could do as good work
as one that had been trained.
The speaker's closing words to the au
dience and to the northern visitors told
how north and south, once contending
for union and independence, were now
united in a more glorious independence
than had ever before ben enjoyed.
The conference assembled this forenoon
in the university chapel. Mr. R. G. Og
den presided.
Dr. Charles D. Mclver, president of the
North Carolina State Normal and Indus
trial college, at Greensboro, told some
thing of what has been done tn his state
since the meeting of the conference last
year. Over thirty cities or towns have
voted on tne question of increasing tne
•choel fund by local taxation, and only
three which voted have not agreed to do
Four hundred libraries have been es
tablished in connection with public
schools.
Dr. H. B. Frissell. of Hampton, and Dr.
Robert Fraser, of Richmond, reported on
the work done in Virginia.
president Edwin A. Aiderman. of Tulane
* university of New Orleans, reported the
year's work in Louisiana. Three parishes,
jg wards, 3 towns, 17 school districts have
added to their school facilities by special
taxation. *
. The session was closed by a general dis-
Mission led by Dr. John Massey, president
of the Atlabama Female college, at Tus
kegee. Ala., and Chancellor Robert B.
>-Olton. of the University of Mississippi.
At a business meeting the following offi
cers of the conference for the next year
were elected:
President. Robert G. Ogden: vice presi
dents. J. T. Joyner. Walter H. Page. E.
C. Branson; secretary. Rev. A. B. Hunter,
es Raleigh; treasurer. George Foster Pea
body. of New .ork: executive committee
Dr. H- B. Frissell. Dr. Sanford. J. Y.
F'/ner. Hon. Hoke Smith. W. A. Blair.
<he address of Governor Aycock, of
North Carolina, on "Education and the
Voluntary Tax” won for him an enviable
reputation as an orator and a warm spot
in the hearts of educators present. By his
wit. logic and force he completely cap
tured his hearers, and at the conclusion
of his address the entire audience arose
and cheered him.
Governor Aycock is leading in the cam
paign for free education In North Caroli
na. and the progress made by that state
is due largely to his eloquent efforts.
Greetings from the governors of Missis
sippi, South Carolina. Louisiana and Vir
ginia were sent the convention this morn
ing. Governor Jelks. of Alabama, will ad
dress the conference tonight.
Hon. Hoke Smith commenced his ad
dress on "Popular Education as the Pri
mary Policy of the South” at 2 p. m. The
university chapel wds packed to hear him,
and he made a deep impression. In recog
nition of the interest he has always dis
played in common school education Mr.
Smith was today made a member of the
executive committee of the Southern Edu
cational i oard.
Last night President Ogden, in calling
the convention to order, said, in part:
•This conference exists for a holy cause
—holy In the highest sense. Its creed re
flects the Divine love, broad and benefi
cent as the universal sunshine and ex
pressed in the single simple dogma that
every child in this broad land possesses
the natural right to a good English edu
cation. The personnel is cosmopolitan in
a marked degree. Here are governors of
states, officers of great corporations, edu
cators of every degree, clergymen of many
communities, authors, bankers, mer
chants, lawyers, who for the time being
have set aside their several cares for the
larger Interests of our common country.
And the crowning grace, influence and
power of this assembly appears in the
presence of so many good women.
“In morals and national things, the new
century is an event to the world at large.
There is a sudden manifestation of ac
cumulated power. Masses of capital rush
together with magnetic Impulse and in
startling magnitude. Commounity of in
terest pools in concrete form, values that
had not been comprehended in detail. This
material life is national.
“Simultaneously with this realisation of
things an intellectual awakening appears.
Generous facilities for research are placed
at the commmand of science. The in
creased endowment to great institutions of
learning is the recognition of the debt that
wealth owes to scholarship.”
The president then outlined the organis
ation and work of the Southern Education
board and of the general education fund,
formed since the last conference. As to
the problem of education in the south, he
said, in conclusion:
“Out of the case comes the silent ap
peal of millions of children of school age.
With this appeal comes the cry of our
country with a stem demand that from
this child material good citizens for the
future shall be furnished. It is our duty
to echo and re-echo these appeals that
the ignorant shall rise up and by the mere
of human right demand adequate
education, that the people should tax
themselves for education, that school au
thorities should promote the best ideas of
education, that philanthropy should apply
the lacking margin beyond the capacity of
the public purse and private local liber
ality. Let no doubtful expression of un
certain sound gw forth Education for all
the people's good, well equipped school
houses with competent teachers and an
eight-months term in every school dis
trict. Let this, and nothing less, tie the
aim of thia conference.”
DEVEAUX” FINDsT
HARD FIGHT IS MADE
WASHINGTON, April 36-Senator Clay
is at the white house this evening to ask
President Roosevelt to hold up the ap
pointment of Deveaux as collector of cus
toms at Savannah-
A telegram from Savananh today says
the business men of the city will hold a
meeting to protest against the appoint
ment. The president will unquestionably
hold up the matter until the business men
act and there is some grounds for the be
lief that such action will knock the ap
pointment of Deveux out.
To ail protests filed against the appoint
ment. the president has pointed to alleged
indorsements of Savannah business men.
and now when he is made to understand
the true situation, he may recede from
his determination to appoint Deveaux.
The case of the recall of Pink Morton’s
name for postmaster at Athens is exactly
rimilar.

QUICK WORK ON
NEW CANAL
THE PRESIDENT WILL SEND CON
GRESS A SPECIAL MESSAGE
RELATIVE TO THE PRO
POSED WATERWAY.
WASHINGTON, April 25.—The president
will, it is understood, send a special mes
sage to congress asking for action on the
isthmian canal project. He has no pref
erence tor one route over the other, but
he wants to see the senate get under way
with the discussion of the subject, so that
one or the other may be chosen. He is
restless at the senate's delay.
.The president is not inclined to interfere
with the business of congress, and has re
fused in the past to offer suggestions on
the canal situation lest his suggestions be
termed interference. But since the negoti
ations which have recently been conclud
ed with Colombia must be laid before the
senate, the president will take advantage
of this opportunity to Interject a few re
marks Inviting attention to the desirabili
ty of an isthmian waterway connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific. There is a decid
ed disposition for delay tn the senate, and
It is believed this action by the president
will hasten canal consideration.
He may delay the message until pending
negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica are concluded, but even with this de
lay. It is believed the message will reach
the senate by the last of next week.

PALMft FACES
PENSIONS
IN CUBA
MANY CLAIMS ARE FILED FOR
SERVICES DURING THE WAR
WHICH ARE TO BE PAID BY
NEW REPUBLIC.
NEW YORK, April 26.—An important
conference has been held between the
president-elect, Palma, and several gen
erals who participated in the late insur
resctlon, says a Bayamo. Cuba, dispatch
to The Tribune. The meeting was held at
the request of the president-elect to ob
tain the views of former Cuban soldiers
on the question of pay for their services.
Those who attended were Generals Rabi.
Lora. Salcedo and Capote, representing
the province of Santiago, which was the
pivoted point of the rebellion. This was
the first opportunity General Palma had
for personally gauging the sentiment of
these people oh this question, which will
be one of considerable Importance. The
result of the consultation was entirely
satisfactory to the president-elect, al
though conferees acquiescing in the plana
outlined by him. He is opposed to paying
the army Immediately. His proposition is
to give first attention to the agriculture of
the island. By fostering this Industry, he
argues, will be obtained the wages of the
army. The constitution of Cuba and the
Platt amendment provide that the budget
and interest of the insular debt must first
be taken care of from a loan that will be
negotiated.
General Palma said that it must first be
determined who is really entitled to be
paid, which means an overhauling of the
rolls. The amount now asked is about
$80,000,000. which is considered far too
much. It is believed that $15,000,000 will
suffice to settle all legitimate claims. Per
haps two years will be required to settle
in full. The president-elect also proposes
to have the government take care of those
who were crippled in war or are invalids
as a result of the war. Provision will be
made for the widows. The question of
pensions will not be favorably received.
The body of General Palma’s mother,
buried by him 32 years ago near the Cauto
river, has just been removed to this city,
and will be reinterred here Saturday. It
was placed in a coffin and brought here by
200 neighbors of the president-elect, all
mounted. The village priest headed the
long procession which received it. Behind
It walked General Palma. Senor Quesada
and 500 citizens, all with bared heads. It
was a particularly solemn ceremony, and
the president-elect was as grief-stricken
as if his toother had died yesterday. Mass
was sung in the same little church which
he attended when a boy.
At Manzanillo tne American flag was
hauled gown on Thursday and the Cuban
flag hoisted in Its stead. The American
post was abandoned, all troops embarked
on the steamship Bemurantea, byway of
NewpbTU XririUfor Fort Robinsotr,’ Neb.,
and immediately after the Cuban flag was
hoisted by the captain of the rural guard.
An Immense crowd was at the ceremony.
SMITH
ALL CHARGES MADE
MANILA. April !6.-The trial by court
martial of Jacob Smith on the charge
of conduct prejudicial to good order and
discipline began yesterday.
Gen. Lloyd Wheaton, presided. Colonel
Chas. A. Woodruff, counsel for the de
fense. said he desired to simplify the pro
ceedings.
He said he was willing to admit Gen
eral Smith gave instructions to Major
Waller to kill and burn and make Samara
howling wilderness, that he wanted every
body killed capable to bear arms and that
he did specify all over ten years of age,
as the Samar boys of that age were
equally dangerous as their elders.
Captain David Porter, marine corps, and
Lieutenant John H. A. Day. marine
corps, were the only two witnesses exam
ined. Their testimony developed nothing
new. Major Tilton W. Waller, marine
corps, will be the only other witness for
the presecutlon. He was unable to be
present today on account of sickness but,
it is expected will be in attendance to
morrow. The defense will call several
officers of the Ninth infantry.
JAR OF THE EARTH IN
AMERICA IS FELT
NEW YORK. April 26.—The earthquake
that caused such destruction in Central
America last Friday extended as far north
aa Baltimore, says a dispatch from that
city to The Tribune. At the Johns Hop
kins University observatory the film has
just been taken of the seismograph and it
was found to indicate the heaviest earth
disturbance since the machine was put in
operation. After he had prepared the
film for examination Dr. Harry Reeld,
reading from the records, said:
“The first measureable shock reached
Baltimore about 9:30 o’clock last Friday
night. For< about four minutes the dis
turbance was slight, then it suddenly be
came stronger. The heaviest shock was
recorded about ’9:40 o’clock. It soon sub
sided to a lower degree of violence but the
disturbance was comparatively strong for
an hour and a half, the whole disturbance
was apparent over a space of two hours
and a half. The disturbnees were not
strong enough to be generally percepti
ble.”

WITH TRUST OF BEEF
WASHINGTON. April K-Tbe firs! bill
really designed to beat down the extor
tionate prices of the rapacious beef trust
appeared in congress yesterday and its au
thor is Representative Livingston, of
Georgia. The bill will get a speedy con
sideration, and is likely to pass, for ev
ery member of congress is aroused at the
spectacle of the American public standing
helpless while it feels the cold muzzle of
the beef trusts pistol at Its head.
A number of bills -eeking to knock the
protective tariff wall from the beef trust
have been introduced, but none are ef
fective because they fail to specify what
sections of the protection laws they seek
to repeal.
Mr. Livingston's bill provides that the
Dingley law, paragraphs 218 to 222, in
clusive, and 273 to 279, inclusive, shall be
repealed. «
These paragraphs now protect the bee f
trusts' products from competition with
similar products from Canada, Cuba and
Mexico and other foreign countries. With
these paragraphs repealed, the products
of other countries may be rushed into
American markets and sold to American
consumers at prices far below the robber
trusts’ prices. It will/be a knockout com
plete in its character.
In a word, the beef trust now sits on
the protection wall. Mr. Livingston’s bill
would knock the wall out from under it
and let it <.rop.
“The public is being neld up in true
highway robber style,” said Mr. Living
ston today, “and congress is not going to
sit still while the performance is going on.
I believe my bill will pass, and it will
give the relief desired.”
The Georgia congressman's long exper
ience in national legislation and his knowl
edge of the tariff situation fits him as an
able antagonist to the beef
Democrats and Republicans who wish
to see the trust knocked out will give him
their support.

gressman John Maddox, relative to the
donation of two Spanish cannon to this
city. Mr. Wagner is anxious to have
'the guns placed near the reservoir on
Fort Jackson as an ornament. The
grounds are beautifully decorated with
flowers and grass, but the superintendent
believes they will be much more attract
ive with the old Spanish cannon which
were captured during the recent war.
The Journal's account of the appropria

read with great interest in this city. An
annex will be built to the present build

and the business of the office.
It is the purpose of the government to
provide a place for Judge Newman to hold

place of the United States court meeting
in Floyd county superior court room, is
not satisfactory. Judge Newman has
strongly advocated a special place for his
court in the government’s property.
