THE CONSTITUTION WINS AGAIN The Columbia Beaten by Half an Hour and the In* dependence by Twice That Much. The Con* stitution a Record Breaker. (By the Associated Press.) Newport, R. 1., July B.—ls the victory of the Constitution over the Columbia and the Independence in the first of three cornered races on Saturday was signifi cant and definite, her winning today may well be characterized as overwhelming and the defeat of the Independence as positive and almost hopeless. The ap proach of evening again found the com mittee boat anchored far out In Narra gansett Bay, along with the cat boat which marked the other end of the finish line, tediously waiting for the Boston boat to cross, while her rivals were well up the harbor on the way to their moor ings. ULTIMATUM TO STRIKERB. Get to Work by Thursday or Remove Your Tools From the Shops. (Bv~the Associated Tress.) Newport News, July B.—The monotonous record of the machinists’ strike has been punctuated in the last two days by two events, both likely to have some influence on the situation. Sunday, James O’Connell, President of tha International Association of Ma chinists, arrived here, and after address ing a meeting of the striker ; , had a con ference with W. A. Post, General Super intendent of the Newport News Shipbuild ing and Ory Dock Company. He asked Mr. Post what the company would do to end the strike, and Mr. Post informed him that the company would make no con cessions whatever. Mr. O'Connell made a proposition, but returned and reported the result of the conference to the strik ers, who voted to stay out unil their de mands are granted. This afternoon Mr. Post sent a letter to E. J. Mulcahy, president of the local lodge of machinists, notifying him that any of the men applying for work between date of letter and 7 o’clock Thursday morning next, would be re-employed. Those not intending to return to work were notified that they must get their ools out of he yard before Thursday ,as their places would be filled and their services would no longer be required. It is believed that the next three or four days may be productive of develop ments, though, on the surface, there is no change in the attitude of the strikers.

Washington, July B.—Mr. Brown, the new’ minister to Venezuela, today re ceived his final instructions but will not leave the United States for a month as there is no pressing need of his presence in Venezuela.

Topeka, Kansas, July B.—At 1:30 o’clock today the government weather bureau reported the mercury at stand ing at 103 degrees, the hottest day of the year. At 2 o’clock it dropped to 101 with clouds appearing. Clothes may not make the man. but the better they are the more attention he is apt to receive. The new Herreshoff boat had beaten the Columbia by nearly half an hour over tlie thirty mile course, while the record against the Independence was almost a full hour. She came near travelling around the triangle while the Crownin shield creation was covering two legs of it. Today’s race establishes the new Bristol sloop as a record-breaker in light airs She has accomplished what yachts men considered impossible in thus beat ing the Columbia, while her performance has put the Independence entirely out of the running in conditions like those of today. What her showing may be in heavy weather is still a matter of con jecture. THE JURY BYBTEM STANDS. The Alabama Convention Decides to Make no Change. (By (he Associated Press.) Montgomery, Ala., July 8. —The Consti tutional Convention, after an animated debate, decided not to change the present jury system, which guarantees the right of trial by jury. The pending question was on section 12 of the proposed constitution which is arousing great interest all over tho State. An amendment by the minority that three-fourths of a jury shall find a verdict in civil cases was the principal cause of contention. Long, of Walker, opposed the amendment. He said it was brought up by men hostile to corporations, who wanted to get big damages out of them. “It is a scheme to work corporations for damages, and it invites their hostility to the constitution.” he concluded. Thompson, of Bibb, also spoke against the amendments, saying if it was right in civil cases it is right in eriminal cases. Whte, of Jefferson, said the present law was old and covered with cobwebs of centuries. This amendment would render it necessary to tamper with only four men to defeat justice. Judge Coleman offered an amendment allowing the Legislature to provide for three-fourths verdicts except in cases of tort or suits for damages. Rejected. FAMOUS DISPATCH TO DEWEY. IT' Crowninshield Says He Wrote the Order to Destroy the Bpanish Fleet. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, July B.—Rear Admiral A. S. Crowinshield, Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, today issued a formal statement to the effect that he is the author of the famous dispatch to Ad miral Dewey ordering him to proceed from Hong Kong to Manila and there capture and destroy the Spanish fleet. Admiral Crowinshield states that he wrote the dispatch in the White House and submitted it to both Attorney Gen eral Griggs and the President, and that the only change made in the dispatch as he wrote it was the addition of either the word “capture” or the word “de stroy.” The dispatch, according to Ad miral Crowinshield, was then handed to Lieutenant Whittlesley, who took it to Secretary Long and after the latter had signed it sent it to Admiral Dewey. OUR CONSUL GENERAL RESIGNS. Says Hi* Salary Was Insufficient to Maintain Him in Cape Town (By the Associated Press.) London, July B.—A dispatch received here from Cape Town today announces that United States Consul General Jas. G. Stowe has resigned and that he will sail from Cape Town on his return to the United States July 25. HIS REASON FOR RESIGNING. Washington, July 8. —The resignation was based on the utter inadnuecy of the salary of the post as the $3,000 salary allowed won’t defray the cost of main taining a family in modest conditions at Cape Town The United States Consul General is the worse salaried consular officer at the Cape. Mr. Stowe was ap pointed from Kansas City, Mo. Tne va cancy has not yet been filled. AFTER STATE LANDS. Mr K I. Finch of Charlotte Wants 20,000 Acres on a Compromise. The State Board of Education was in session yesterday considering a proposi tion from Mr. K. I. Finch, of Charlotte, whose option on 500,000 acres of State school lands the Board sometime ago had declared was no longer in force. The proposition of Mr. Finch to the Board was that he would surrender all options that he had if they would allow him to control, at his option price of 50 cents an acre, 20,000 acres of land lying in Carteret and Typrell counties. Mr. Finch also claims half of an option on some State land lying in Craven county on which ex-Private Secretary to ex- Governor D. L. Russell, Rev. Bavlus Cade, has the other half. The matter was discussed for some time by the Board, but no action was taken. Some of the members are warmly in fa vor of standing by their original finding that Finch has no option that is binding, while others of the Board are in favor of accepting the compromise proposition pre sented to them. It seems likely from the information to be obtained that the Finch compromise will be accepted. When a young man feels that he doesn’t want another fellow making goo-goo eyes at his best girl—that is love. BOUND OVER TO COURT. Braswell in Jail For 'Court and Hunter is at Large Yesterday in the Mayor’s court, the case affray of Saturday afternoon on Wilmington street was investigated.

The Public Laws enacted by the last Legislature will be delivered to the Secretary of State by the printers this week. The Private Laws will not be printed before the first of August. The delay in the printing of the law is largely due to a change made by the Legislature in the method of giving out the public printing; the contract could not be awarded and the work begun as quickly after adjournment as heretofore.

PRICE FIVE CENTS, EDUCATORS OF THE HATIOII ASSEMBLE First Session of the National * Association Today. MEETING OF THfc LEADERS Important Papers Read Before the National Council. PROF.BHOWN ON EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS He Declares it Characterized by Great Expan sion. Doubts That Academic Freedom is in Any Serious Danger. Edu cation in the South. (By the Associated Press.) Detroit, Mich., July B.—A meeting of the National Council of Education in Y. M. C. A. hall this morning, and the first session of the Department of Indian edu cation in Central church opened the for tieth annual convention of the National Educational Association. The first session of the general body will not be until tomorrow afternoon. The National Coun cil $f Education is a co-ordinate body of the National Association, composed of a number of the foremost educators who, through the council, lead the thought of the general assembly. The paper of the morning before the council was read by Wm. T. Harris, National Commissioner of Education, on “Isolation in the School; How it Hinders and Helps.” Mr. Harris’ advocacy of isolation pre cipitated a lengthy discussion on the floor, Col. Parker, of Chicago, and others opposing the idea of Isolation, and saying ihe true life was a community life. In the afternoon Elmr E. Brown, of the University of California, read a paper on “Educational Progress During the Past Year.” He said “the characteristic work of progress during the past year has been expansion. Educational expansion has been the accompaniment of political and industrial expansion. “The great accumulators of wealth have been giving largely to educational institutions. “These great benefactions have raised fineAV the question of liberty of teaching. It is doubtful whether there is any gen eral or serious danger threatening real and reasonable academic freedom. The discussion of scientific temperance \u struction has brought forward the ques tion of freedom of teaching in another form. “New educational movements in tlje South are closely bound up with political and industrial changes. The negro Is making his own contribution to the solu tion of the problem and the Tuskegee schocd has been one of the centers of educational interest, during the year.” The Indian branch of the meeting was devoted wholly to welcome addresses and responses. AND NO DIRECTORS YET. But They Came Awful Near to Being Appointed Yestorday. “Manana, manana” (tomorrow, tomor row), say the people of Mexico, made lazy and dreamy by the pleasant climate. “Tomorrow, tomorrow,” says Governor AyeocK touching the appointment of North Carolina Railroad directors, but for a vastly different reason. There is a large number of candidates, and most of those (or their friends) want to be heard before the appointment is made, and hence the names have been held up by the Governor from day to day. The appointments are to be made “by and with the advice and consent of tho Council of State,” and he called the Council together yesterday for the pur pose of submitting to them the names, but as he was about to do so a telegram came from one of the candidates asking that the matter be held up until he could be heard. His request was granted and the Council adjourned without the names having been submitted. The Governor says the appointments will certainly be made today. Keene’s Colt Takes the Stakes.
