Gin TO TECH
IF FRIENDS
WILL HELP
GENERAL EDUCATIONAL BOARD
HAS MADE A GENEROUS OF
FER TO THE INSTITUTION.
ONLY ONE CONDITION.
If the city of Atlanta, the state of Geor
gia. or friends of the institution will raise
F IM.OOO. the Georgia School of Technology
will be given an additional >IO,OOO for the
equipment and maintenance of an experi
mental and electrical laboratory, by the
general education board, of which Dr.
Wallace Butterick la secretarj-.
This offer comes as a direct result of the
efforts of President Lyman Hall, of the
Tech, and makes >29.000 the general edu
cation board has given tn this state with
in the past thirty days.
Some time ago, when the Ogden party
was touring the state. President Hall per
suaded William H. Baldwin to come to
Atlanta and go through the Tech. Mr.
Baldwin was much Impressed with the
high standard of the school, and before
he left he offered to give >5,000 to the
institution, provided otner friends of the
Tech would give 05.000.
Dr. Wallace Butterick. secretary of the
general educational board, heard of this
offer, and came to Atlanta Sunday. He
tmmodlatelv got Into communication with
President Hall, and after a lengthy con
ference. which ended Monday. Dr. But
terick decided that it would be a splendid
opportunity for the board to give money
here, but thought that a . larger sum
should be given, and on easier terms. He
teleyapbed Mr. Baldwin, and made
known to him the last proposition, which
he wished substituted for the one made
by* Mr. Baldwin He last night received
a reply from Mr. Baldwin stating that
thia proposition was entirely acceptable
r As the matter now stands, all that Is
k necessary to make this gift available Is
for the friends of the Tech to raise
an additional >IO.OOO for the institution. It
is the purpose of the general educational
board to equip and maintain an experi
mental and electrical laboratory. Os the
IW.iW they offer, they will pay 15.000 In
cash and >2.jrt) a year for two years
• In do institution In the south is there an
laboratory such as it is de
sired to erect at the Tech, and it is the
earnest hope of the friends of the Tech
that the money will be raised. An experi
mental laboratory will place the school
on a commercial basis even more than it
is at present. In such a laboratory mate
rials can be tested, the tenstl strength of
steel determined, the breaking strength of
wood ascertained, and many other Im
portant things of this kind worked ent.
Not long ago. when the city of Atlanta
had purchased a large amount of brick
for ths city sidewalks. It was desired to
And their strength and durability. There
was only one plaqe in this section of the
country where this could be done, and
this is at the Tech, which, even with the
incomplete apparatus at Its command,
made the test in the best possible style.
Captain Hall, president of the Techno
logical Institute, said yesterday, in re
gard to the offer:
The shops and electrical department
and the experimental laboratory, on ac
count of the large number of students,
have been handicapped for want of suffi
cient equipment. The experimental lab
oratory has been especially needful, and
hag never been what we desired. The in-
M-SlliUlment of the electrical laboratory and
f the purchase of some additional equipment
Is an Imperative necessity. I hope that
ihe conditions imposed by the general ed
ucation board will he promptly met by our
friends. They will do more for the Insti
tution's course of study in giving this
money than has ever been done before.
The erection of an experimental labo
ratory will mean much for the manufac
turing and mechanical interests of At
lanta. and will place the school more tn
touch with the commercial world, in en
gineering tines, than anything which has
yet transpired in the school’s history.
•That the general educational board
Should bare singled out our Institution
for this offer, more generous than is usu
ally made by their executive committee,
is a distinct compliment which should be
appreciated by every citiaen of Georgia
and Atlanta. The raising of Mv 000 should
be a small matter, and I ask the assist
ance of our friends throughout the city
and the state. I might really say: Let
them all speak at once."
The general educational board Is the
party of northern capitalists who toured
the south some little time ago. known
as the Ogden party. It is a chartered or
ganization. and is giving a great deal of
money tv the educational Institutions of
the country. The offer made the Tech is
an exceptionally liberal one, in view of
the fact that they recently gave >2.000 to
the technological department of Tulane
■nlversity. In New Orleans, on condition
that the president of that school would
false an additional >13.000.
The executive committee of tne general
educational board consists of the following
well-known financiers In New York city: J.
J* M Curry. Frederick F. Gates. Daniel
C- Gilman. Morris K. Jesup. Robert C.
Ogden. Walter H. Page and Albert Shaw.
The officers of the board are: William
H- Baldwin. Jr., chairman: George Fos
ter Peabody, treasurer, and Dr. Wallace
Butterick. secretary. The New York of
fice* of the board are at 115 Nassau street.

TWO MEN GO INTO SKY
MEMPHIS. T.nn., May IT.—A .peetal to

WEEKLY CROP REPORT
The weekly crop report Issued Monday
by the weather bureau gives the fol
lowing review of the condition of crops:
The weather of the week was favorable
for farm work, and crops, as a rule, have
been well cultivated. Complaints of lack
of moisture are becoming general, al
though copious showers occurred In a few
eastern ounties. There has been little
rain in the northwestern counties for sev
eral weeks and the'situation in that sec
tion of the state is rather serious. For
the state at large, the general condition
of crops is regarded as excellent, particu
larly corn and cotton. The latter crop has
good stands, is well worked, and is mak
ing vigorous growth.
■ Chopping is practically completed in the
middle section, and la nearing completion
in the northern counties. Corn, while
small, has good color and is in a very
promising condition. The prospects for
wheat and oats have brightened in some
counties, but the indications point to les
sened yields of both. Harvesting of oats
is in progress in southern counties. Rice
and sugar-cane are growing well.
The outlook for the fruit crop is not pro
pitious. Apples, pears and plums are said
to be practically a failure in many sec
tions. Peaches continue to rot and shed
extensively; early varieties are ripening.

lying in state in the large salon of the
embassy building. The British ensign
s.ood at half staff, over the main door
way, and a sweeping bow of black qrepe
told of the presence of death within the
house.
Soon after 10 o’clock this morning the

notes of funeral music gave notice of the
approach of the funeral escort. This
was composed of the second squadron of
the Second cavalry and the cavalry band,
the latter mounted on white horses; the
Fourth Field battery, the Third battalion
of United States engineers and band, and
a battalion of United States marines and
band. Major William M. Black com

were placed in the pew to the left of these
ladies. The corresponding pew on the
right of the president was occupied by
Major General Young and staff in charge
of the military portion of the funeral ser
vice. The staff of the British embassy
sat directly In the rear of the Pauncefote
ladies and in "thier rear the diplomatic
corps filled a considerable portion of the
body of the church. The cabinet was ac
commodated In two pews directly behlfid

In alignment with these. The senate com
mittee on foreign affairs, headed by Sen

The choir entered in their black vest

Saints,’’ followed by Bishops Satterlee

Macky-Smith preceded it into the church,
reading the Scripture verses beginning "I
am the resurrection and the life, saith the
Lord,’’ and “I know that my Redeemer

NEW YORK. May 28.—The cotton market
opened quiet and firm with prices 1 to 3 points
higher on moderately active general buying.
In which local shorts took the lead, and favor
able English cables. The first wave of buying
carried July to 8.97 and August to 8.67, around
which figure the market hovered during the
rest of the first hour. Among the complaints
received from the belt were reported unsea
sonable low temperatures tn Alabama, drouth
In portions of the Carolinas and Texas, boll
weevil In districts of the extreme western belt
and too much rain In other sections. Put as a
rule, the crop news was indicative of an un
uaunlly good start. The receipts were ex
tremely light and estimates pointed to a fur
ther reduction tomorrow. More Boer war peace
news and a report of Galveston stocks (reach
ing nearly 50,000 bales) only 4,000 bales re
mained unsold, made room shorts very un
easy. They noticed that conservative houses
of late have quietly bought the summer months
on all weak spots recently and that prices have
inevitably rallied to nearly nine cents for
July. Again, with three days adjournment at
hand, a few cared to risk possible adverse
climatic condition* before the market opened
next Monday and eoVered as a matter of pre
caution. ’
Late In the morning the whole market turned
firm on a scare of shorts, started by reports
of broadening spot demand In the south and
less favorable crop conditions. Exceptionally
large export clearance* from Galveston (15,159
bales) and a report that but 3,000 bales remain
ed unsold at the port encouraged fairly active
commission house buying. Noon blds reflected
a net advance of 5@7 points with July at 8.99
and August at 8.70.

Murphy A Co.’« Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. May 25.-Prices for cotton were
2 to 4 points higher In the first hour. Cables
were in full response to the few bulish features
in yesterday's bureau report tor she week.
There was some little concern because of cooler
weather in the south and there was also talk
of too much moisture in the northern section
of Texas and northern boundary. In the ab
sence of really striking feature' it Is an easy
matter to Influence the market by happenings
and the cold weather scare was worked this
morning, although it failed to broaden the
market to any material extent. The situation
remains one of perplexity and uncertainty, one
side being comforted by small receipts and the
other by good progress lor the new crop so
far end the apathy of spinners. On the other
hand there Is danger of some unexpected do
ings either by Liverpool or New Orleans during
our close on Friday and Saturday, hence opera
tors on both sides are extremely cautions. Rain
fell today at Oaklahoma, and Fort Smith, and
the port receipts were 2,000 against 10,310 last
year. The Indifference of New England mills
was ascribed largely to leading short Interests
who were advising mills that supplies could
be had at 8 cents later on. In the Liverpool
mkrket there was a rise of one point. A dispo
sition to secure August was shown in certain
Important quarters.
Southern Exchange Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK, May 28.—Early advices from
Liverpool pointed to an evening up with the
close of our market yesterday. There was no
further activity during the late session, the
close being about the same as the opening.
Spots were unchanged at 6 3-32 d. for middling.
Little or nothing developed from the meeting
of the English cabinet yesetrday and on this
theory cotton factors seemed less eager to
grant in either direction; Our market was in
a sense timid around the first hour, but on
light estimates for tomorrow a slight up-hfll
movement was started. This, however, did not
hold long and a dull tone was conspicuous as
■ the day wore on. New Orleans traders were
good buyers of August around 72 and 73. Not
a few of the purchases made NU..!ußvt
a few of the conservative element advanced the
opinion that a good amount of the purchases
made by New Orleans firms were the result
of an Influx of damaging crop reports received
there early today and ajso that a part of the
contracts represented straddles. Notwlthtsand-
Ijig the fact that due efforts were made to
enliven the trading faction by adverse crop
reports, the wiser heads could not see enough
In the reports to retaliate with their opponents
who have had things pretty much their own
way for the past month or two. The market
feels greatly the lack of Interest In the spot
market. At present thert" Is scarcely any de
mand here or from foreign houses having rep
resentatives In this country. Comparatively
small receipts were noted again today but the
general belief Is that farmers are holding a
good amount of cotton in their warehouses In
anticipation of a higher market.
Ports receipt estimated 3,000. against 10,131
last year. Houston expects 25 to 50 bales to
morrow. against 1.532 last year; New Orleans
1.000 to 1.200. against 1.438 last year; Galveaton
500 to 600, against 2,509. New York spots were
unchanged at 9’Jc for middling.
Grain and Provisions.
CHICAGO. May 28.—The grain trade was de
spondent to<iav at tne opening because Liver
pool showed Indifference to yesterday's bullish
local markets. In addition to lower wheat ca
bles, good crop reports and favorable weather
for growing, save tn a few sections where
frosts were reported, set th© crowd to selling.
The early trade was of fair volume, with com
mission houses on both sides of the market. In
the absence of a good support In corn wheat
fell off somewhat, July opening H9%c lower
at and selling down to 73Hc. A re
port of the Kansas state official figures, stating
that one-third of the acreage of that atate had
been abandoned, started aome small buying,
and pnees rallied to <3%c for July. Receipts
were still small and local cash business here
yesterday was good, but the export demand
was dead. Local receipts were 16 cars, 6 of
contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth report
ed 130 cars making a total for the three points
of 146. against 105 last week anl 215 a year
ago.
A heavy selling pressure in corn turned the
wheat crowd very bearish, and on the good
crop prospect*, stuff was sold liberally. July
slumped badly to 72*»< > f72%c and closed weak Ik,
® lSc lower at 7244©72%c.
Corn, which easily took the lead yesterday, •
dropped back to a weak and nervous market at
thr opening. Foreign markets showed absolute
ly no response to the upshoot here yesterday
anfl as a ccngeaveuce eonalderablg early liqui
dation weakcagfl the market materially. There
was little early support, although receipts
were still small. Good crop reports gave the
beara some argument, but there was great fear
of„ the all-powerful situation credited to the
leading bull house and its New York clique.
The country sold liberally last night at fair
prices and much of the weakness today was
attributed to selling here against those pur
chases. July started down at 64@63%c
and slid off to 63Hc. Covering at that point
steadied the market and prlcea reacted allghtly.
| Receipts were 105 cars.
I (.ate advices from the best corn country
| stated that the farmers were eager to accept
' the Increased Chicago bld. Last night’s ac
! ceptanecs totaled over 1,000,000 bushels. On this
the crowd led by the big bull holders sold
, heavily and July slumped to a weak close, I*4o
j l%c down at 62%®63c.
Oats weakened a little under the influence of
I the corn break. There was, however, very little
I trade and no disposition to sell was manifest.
I Traders, now concede that the leading bull
I operator in May options will be able to take
I In all his paper proflta and possibly to advance
' prices a little. July opened a shade to Me lower
lat 37%0*7Mc and eased off to 37%c. Receipts
[ were smalll36 cars.
Provisions again improved a little on the flrm
stock yards hog market. The run of hogs was
about normal, but prices advanced. There was a
small support for products and the tone held
flrm. July pork opened 5c up at 317.12*4; July
lard unchanged at 310.1754 and sold to >10.20 and
July ribs 254 c up at 39.65 and sold up a shade.

Murphy & Co.’s Grain Letter.
CHICAGO, May 28.—Weakness was the rule
in .wheat today. Th© foreign situation selling
by the southwest and but few shorts to sup
port prices on the decline, cause a decline of
over a cent. The closing was weak at near the
low point while the market was not active
there was a heavy trade at times. There was
some commission house buying but the ma
jority sold. Cables wer elower. Advices from
Liverpool were that the good government re
port counteracts the effect of the higher prices
here yesterday. Weather was good for crops.
Kansas reports, however, a big decrease in con
dition compared with April and says one-third
area abandoned. S«lling by cash houses against
overnight aceptances of blds caused a slump In
corn today. The selling was general and while
there was some support from the big bull In
terest, but it had only a temporary effect.
Corn closed weak near the bottom. Oats de
clined with other grains and selling of July by
Fowler, the market was Influenced by extra
good crop advices. Only a day or two now re
mains before the culmination of the May
deal. It Is expected that a few of the shorts
will settle with Patten.
Provisions were strong and higher early on
buying by brokers and commission houses due
to the hog situation. There was fairly good
buying of all products. The closing a little
lower all along th© line, support was lacking
late In the session.

DEAD BUZZARDS FOUND
IN WATERWORKS POND
DAWSON. May 28.—1 t has just been dis
covered that the reservoir of the Dawson
Waterworks Company has had a very un
usual use made of it recently. A few
days ago a daring youngster climbed to
the top of the tank and. peering over its
edge, was rather startled to behold the
carcasses of two or three buzzards float
ing serenely on top of the water. The
matter was reported and the superintend
ent of the waterworks company and May
or J. W. F. Lowrey had the report cor
roborated and the dead birds removed.
It is needless to state that the patrdns
of the waterworks company were very
disagreeably surprised upon hearing of
the matter, which has occasioned a great
amount of comment all over the city.
Affidavits concerning the occurrence
were promptljLexecuted and an effort will
be made to have them introduced as ev
idence in the suit of the city against the
waterworks company, which has been
heard in the state courts and is now
pending in the federal courts. The evi
dence in the case has been closed, but the
city will endeavor to get in these facts
concerning the reservoir’s having been
put to the use of a buzzard morgue.
PEACE IS DESIRED
BEFORE THE CORONATION
NEW YORK. May 28.—The re-assem
bling of parliament has done little toward
clearing the situation in South Africa,
says a Tribune dispatch from London. A
languid house listened to non-committal
explanations. A suggestion that the
king is so anxious to have peace before
the coronation that he is bridging pressure
to bear upon the ministers to make large
concessions to the Boers is scouted in offi
cial circles. The king is described as _not
less patriotic than his mother was. and as
equally mindful of the obligation of a
constitutional ruler to be guided by the
advice of his ministers. The king can
hardly be more anxious for peace tnan
the ministers of the country.
