MOFFATT GOT DECISION.
CHARISTON. B. C, July 13. The Na
tloml Educational Association closed Its
convention here tonight. During the day
two sessions of the general convention
were held, at which several papers were
read.
President-elect Green was introduced,
and spoke briefly at tho night session,
after which the committee on resolutions
made its report, as follows:
"In accordance with established custom
and in order better to enforce those be
liefs and practices which tend most pow
erfully to advance the cause of popular
education and a civilization based on In
telligent democracy, the National Educa
tional Association, assembled in Its 39th
annual meeting, makes this declaration
of principles:
"In the common school Is the highest
hope of the nation. In developing char
acter, in training Intelligence, In diffus
ing Information, Its Influence' Is incalcu
lable. In last resort the common school
rests not upon statutory support, but upon
the convictions and affections of the
American people. It seeks not to cast
the youth of the country Into a common
mould, "but rather to afford free play for
Individuality and for local needs and
alms, while keeping steadily In view the
common purpose of education. In this re
spect it confirms to our political Ideas
and to our political organization, which
bind together self-governing states in a
nation, wherein each locality must bear
the responsibility for those things which
most concern Its welfare and its com
fort. A safe motto for the school, as for
the state, is: In essentials, unity: In non-
-essentlals, liberty: In all things, charity.
"A democracy provides for the educa
tion of all its children. To regard the
common schools as schools for the unfor
tunate and the less well-to-do, and to
treat them as such, is to strike a fatal
blow at their efficiency and democratic
institutions: It is to build up class dis
tinctions which have no proper place on
American soil. The purpose of the Amer
ican common school is to attract and to
Instruct the rich, as well as to provide
for and to educate the poor. "Within Its
walls American citizens are made and no
person safely can be excluded from its
benefits.
"What has served the people of he
United States so well should be promi
nently placed at the service of those who.
by the fortunes of war, have become our
wards. The extension of the American
common school system to Cuba. Porto
Rico and the Philippine Islands Is an Im
perative necessity, in order that knowl
edge may be generally diffused therein
and the foundations of social order and
effective local self-government laid on
popular intelligence and morality.
"The provisions of law for the civil
government of Porto Rico indicate that
it is the Intention of the Congress of the
T'nlted States to Increase the responsi
bilities of the bureau of education. "We
earnestly urge upon Congress the wisdom
and advisability of reorganizing the bu
reau of education upon broader lines,
erecting It Into an important department
on a plane with the Department of Li
bor: of providing a proper compensation
for the Commissioner of Education, and
of so constituting the Department of Edu
cation that, while its invaluable function
of collating and diffusing Information be
in no wise impaired, it may be equipped
to exercise oversight over the educational
system of Alaska and of the several Ij1
ards now dependent upon us, as well as
to make some provision for the educa
tion of the children of tenH of thousands
of white people domiciled In Indian Ter
ritory, but who are "Without any educa
tional opportunities whatever. Such re
organisation of the bureau of education
ard such extension of its functions we be
lieve to be demanded by tho hiehest in
terests of the people of the United States,
and we respectfully but earnestly ask Con
gress to make provision for such reor
ranlzatlon and extension at their next
session. The action so strongly recom
mended will in no respect contravene the
principle that It is one of the recognized
functions of the National Government to
encourage and to aid. but not to control,
the educational Instrumentalities of tho
country.
"We note with pride the rapid exten
sion of provision for a separate second
ary and higher education, as well as for
technical. Industrial and commercial
training. National prosperity and our
economic welfare in the years to come
will depend In no small measure upon
the trained skill of our people, as well
as upon their Inventiveness, tholr persist
ence and their general information.
"Every safeguard thrown about the
profession of teaching, and every provi
sion for its proper compensation has our
cordial approval. Proper standards both
general and professional for entrance
upon the work of instruction, security of
tenure, decent salaries and a systematic
pension system arc indispensable If the
schools are to attract and to hold the
service of the best men "and women of
the United States and the Nation can
afford to place its children In the care
of none but the best. tt
"We welcome the tendency on the part
of colleges and scientific schools to co
operate In formulating and administer
ing the requirements for admission to
their several courses of instruction, and
we rejoice that this association has con
stantly thrown its Influence liv. favor of
this policy and has Indicated how, in our
Judgment. It may be best entered upon.
We see In this movement a most Import
ant step toward lightening the burdens
which now rest upon so many secondary
schools and are confident that only good
results will follow Its success.
"The efficiency of a school system Is
to be judged by the character and the in
tellectual power of its pupils, and not
by their ability to meet a series of tech
nical tests. The place of the formal ex
amination in education Is distinctly sub
ordinate of teaching, and Its use as the
sole test of-teachlng is unjustifiable.
"We renew our pledge to carry on the
work of education entrusted to us Irr a
spirit which shall be not only non-sectarian
and-non-polltlcal. but which shall
accord with the highest Ideals of our
National life and character. With the ef
forts and public support of opinion and
the press for the work of the schools,
higher and lower alike, we shall enter
upon the new century with the high
hope born of successful experience and
of perfect confidence In American poli
cies and Institutions.

Ex-Governor Charles P. Johnston, of St.

state in the trial .of Alexander Jester,
charged with the killing qf Gilbert Gates,
brother of John W. Gates, made a state
ment today as to the reasons which led to
the prosecution by Gates of the age$ pris
oner. He said:
"The Gates family had long since given
up an intention of ever pushing the case
of the murder of their boy to trial. One
on the river bank. Chief Desmond held
that this discovery was an important ono,
slnco the possessions of Barnes had been
connected with tho water. The note and
telegram which led to the capture of
Barnes and tho wounding of Nelson were
sent at haphazard. The detectives had
learned that the two men lived In tho
vicinity, but were not sure of the num
bers. Fortunately, the right houses were
selected in each Instance. Tho officers
are confident of running Nelson down.

year or more ago this man was forced
again to the attention of the Gates fam
ily under the most peculiar condition, by
Jester's sister. John W. Gates told us he
felt It a duty he owed to the memory of
his dead brother, a duty he owed to the
state, and, above all, a. duty he owed his
aged parents to demand a vigorous trial
and an unearthing of all the testimony
possible. We have had detectives follow
that open trail through four states, and
know nearly every action of Alexander
Jester for the past 30 years."
Francis Marlon Dawson, who lived
about four miles east of the Hulln lane,
and south of the Paris, Mo., road In 1871,
took the stand today. He testified that In
January, 1S7L he met Alexander Jester An
this lane. The old man had two teams
and two wagons. They were standing
still In the road at a point east of the
West Madison road. As Mr. Dawson
passed by Jester asked him how far it
was to a road that he could turn south
on. This evidence Is considered as suffi
cient that Jester's turning from the main
thoroughfare was not an accident, but to
conceal his alleged crime.
John D. Mott, of Valley Center, Kan.,
testified that he had lived there 20 years,
and had known Jester for 0 years. He
said Jester lived with his wife and seven
children, and that he never knew him as
Hill. He had seen at his place in 1870 a
two-horse "Jolt" wagon and a buffalo
calf. The witness said Jester farmed and
also exported a, little. He attended Sun
day school.
J. C Temple, of Renlck, Mo., testified
that he saw Jester and Gates at his town
In 187L Jester exhibited the buffalo calf
there and took up a collection. This is
supposed to be a short time before Gates
was killed.
Joseph B. Delaney. an old citizen of
Monroe County, testified to the truth of
the story that his wife had made him get
up at their home nar Middle Grove one
night In January. 1871. stating that she
heard cries of distress. Mr. Delaney sa'd
that the next morning ho went to the
camp and asked the old man there what
the noise meant. He said Jester told
him he had choked young Gates while he
(Jester) was dreaming. The witness to
day pointed to Jester as the same man
that told hlra this story that morning In
January, 1871.

i when It was learned that the doors would
not be opened. Police reserves were
called out to preserve order. Westervelt
was arrested last night, and was com
mitted to jail in default of $10,000 ball.
The specific charge against him Is that
I he raised a withdrawal check from ?2C0

j Westerfelt has admitted that he has
stolen between $35,000 and $40,000. and the
. officials do not think It will go above the
latter figure.

Railway Earnings Indicate a Trade
in Excess of That of Last Year
"Week's Bonk Clearings.
NEW YORK. July 13. Brad3treefs to
morrow will say:
While trade Is still only of mid-Summer
volume, the beginnings of improvement in
demands are apparently becoming visible.
The Improvement Is still one of tone,
rather than of demand, but with a yield
of 540,000,000 bushels of wheat, a next to
record-breaking yield ot corn, and a very
large production of oats, the Western
crop situation contains many encourag
ing features. The Southern cotton crop
has undoubtedly suffered, and conditions
are unprecedentedly low lor this season of
the year, but the acreage planted was a
large one, and prices are so much high
er that a satisfactory financial return Is
confidently looked for. In addition, rail
road earnings point to the maintenance
of the business of the country at a vol
ume in excess of last year.
The effort of the big iron and steel con
cerns to control prices. If really made,
haa proven abortive, and another whole
sale slashing of quotations is to bo re
ported this week. Production, however.
Is falling off, and increases of furnaco
stocks, though considerable, would seem
small If renewed activity occurred. It Is
hard to see how larger prices can be ex
pected, and It Is said that present quo
tations are attracting some business, par
ticularly at Chicago.
The Industrial situation is rather bet
ter as a result of agreements upon wage3
by a number of Iron and steel manufac
turing concerns and their employes. Low
er prices for lumber are apparently Induc
ing more activity In building, though how
much Is due to this or how much to the
settlement of labor disturbances is hard
to measure.
Wheat. Including flour, shipments for
the week aggregate 2,829,910 bushels.
agalnHt 3.018.832 bushels last weok. 3.263,815
bushels in corresponding week of 1890; 2.
910.827 -bushels In 1E93; 1.522,002 bushels In
1S07, and 2 963,949 bushels In ISM. From
July 1 to date this season, wheat exports
were 5,848.742 bushels, njralnst 7.022.7S8
bushels last season, and 3.639,469 bushels In

A decoy note, sent by the detectives,
opened the fight with Nelson. At 3:?0
o cjock a messenger boy awoke Nelson
ard his wife at 3658 Finney avenue. The
note told Nelson that Mrs Barnes, wife
of his alleged pirtner In crime had been
taken suddenly 111. and requested him
to come over to tho Barnes residence.
Nelson fell Into the trap. The detectives
were waiting In the front and rear of
the house. Nelson appeared at the front
door He discovered the officers and
staitcd back into the house A moment
later. Chief of Detectives Smith beheld
Nelson at the first-story rear window
with a revolver. Nelon Jumped Into the
yard. Regaining his feet. Nelson ran
through the gate Into Finney avenue,
where Detective Murray and several men
opened on him with revolvers. Nelson
was wounded, but continued toward the
railway yards at Vandeventer Station,
where he disappeared. Drops of blood
showed that he was bndly hurt.
Barnes, who was arrested at J A. M..
was taken by surprise, and made no re
sistance. He was decoyed from his
house by a false telegram. At police
roadquirters he was searched. It was
found that he carried a revolver of heavy
caliber, a large pair of field glasses In a.
case carried over the shoulders by a
strap, and a small hand reticule, much
worn and containing a photograph of
himself, his wife end child. Eighty-five
dollars In currency, which was damp, as
though It had been exposed to water, and
53 in silver were taken from a small,
black wa.Het.
After a searching examination, by Chief
Desmond, Barnes asked what terms
would be made If he told all he knew.
The Chief placed the suspected, robber In
the hold-over, after telling him that he
would think it over. During the after
noon tho police Bay Barnes confessed that
he. together with John Nelson and a man
named Doyle, alias Connelly, committed
the train-robbery. According to the po
lice, he said tne plot was concocted in
St. Louis. Doyle came from San Fran
cisco four months ago. Barnes did not
account for the three additional men.

SIX MONTHS FAILURES.
Thouch LnrKC They Do Not Reflect
Unbound Banlnena.
NEW YORK. July 13. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow :
If the great Increase In failures to 1100.
O.0.134 In the first half of 1900, against
$49,664,661 last year, and especially to 543,
S93.079 In the second quarter, against 521.
05,635 last year, gave the occasion for
diligent search, rallurc returns will be
worth noting. But today It Is shown that
CO banking failures for 523.S22.6S2. against
31 last year for 57.C01.72S. accounted for
much of the difference; that 215 brokerage
and real estate failures for 522,122.346,
against 145 last year for only 52.32S.n."i.
accounted for another part, and that In
building and lumber-working and trade
other largo failures distinctly connected
with those In real, estate explain much
more of the difference between manufac
turing and trade failures last year and
this. ,
In theso and much less- Important
changes In a few other lines are seen
substantially all the commercial disas
ters as yet reported from the amazing
rise In prices last year, followed by
weary but largely successful efforts dur
ing the past few months to get to a
normal state ot business. When this Is
seen, there appears ground for special
satisfaction that business has been In
whole so soundly conducted under con
ditions of unusual dangor.
The Iron Age makes the output of pig
33.413 tons weekly, July 1. but the de
crease of 16.C00 tons has by this time
been exceeded, other furnaces having
stopped this month, and repairs of works
and wages may yet occupy some weeks.
The increa'se of S6.958 tons In stocks un
sold Implies N a decrease in manufacture
more than double the decrease In output,
and works of five of the great corpora
tions are waiting for a decline In wages
Just when the workers have looked for an
Increase. Open markets are now ad
mitted at Pittsburg, where quotations
have been for some time nominal, and
bessemer pig Is offered there at 516.
Structural makers decided not to reduce
prices, but steel bars thsre and plates at
Philadelphia are said to have sold at
51 15 In some cases.
The sheet works open Monday with
large orders. Coke works, about 19 per
cent Idle, have no demand now, and In
contracts It Is said that even 52 50 would
be shaded.
"Wool Is growing weaker, and Is even
offered by some Westerners at prices
which were refused not long ago, but
the mills do not yet know what goods
they will be able to sell, and from a
temporary Idleness there seems to be no
escape.
The end of the crop year has brought
the usual demand, which commands no
more confidence than usual. If the coun
try gets out of a crop officially called
517,C00,000 bushels, all It wants for food
and seed, and 200,000.000 bushels for ex
port, with considerable left over in sight.
It Is an easy Inference that anxiety la
needless.
1 There Is no evidence as yet, and for
some time to come, and cannot be. that
Injuries sustained have been. as great as
some reported, so that alarm Is not more
necessary than It was last year.
Failures for the week have been 193
In the United States, .against 169 last year,
and 25 In Canada, against 24 last year.
GOLD EXPORTS POSSIBLE.
Further Advance in the Price for
Demand Sterling:.
NEW YORK, July 13. The Evening
Post says:
A further advance in the price for
demand sterling today revived the dis
cussion of possible gold exports In Wall
street. The bid price for demand bills,
54 S6i, brought the rate above Inter
national parity and within range of en
gagements if conditions abroad should
become sufficiently urgent to Justify tho
allowanco of "Interest In transit." Ono
foreign exchange house said that today's
market looked like shipments next week.
If the present tendency toward higher
rates should be maintained. A rumor
was current that one banking house was
actually figuring on a shipment by next
week's steamer. A prominent house said
It was too early to predict where the
gold would go In case a shipment should
be negotiated; higher money prevailed In
England, and discount was easier In Ber
lin. Parla, it is believed, will get some
metal by next Thursday's steamer If ne
gotiations go through. No gold has been
shipped from here to Europe since June
21. the total exports of that week from
New York having been 54,251,000, most of
which. 53,500,000, went to Germany.
Berlin was at that time In financial
straits. Its money market ruling at 5
per cent, and its exchange on London
having fallen considerably. The market
has eased since then, as today's reduc
tion of & per cent In the Imperial Bank
of Germany's official rate shows. But
Pari"? exchansre on London, which In June
stood at 25 francs- 12 centimes to the
pound sterling, about the usual point
when gold comes to France from London,
has subsequently fallen 2 centimes fur
ther, and It Is estimated that on a "tri
angular operation" this very low Parl3
rate would offset the low point of New
York exchange, as the special Induce
ments offered by Berlin did last month.
The last gold shipment to Germany was
arranged with sterling at 54 Soft.

Ing on the subject at present has been
favorable, though drought and hot winds
In the western portion of the corn belt
have furnished material for stories of a
total loss to the crop In that section. This
was the occasion for some selling of tho
granger stocks during the week. The
Chinese troubles also continued to look
very grave, though at the beginning of
the week the disposition In London and
other foreign financial centers was to
look on the absence of nows from Pakln
as a good, rather than a bad sign. Lon
don sales of American stocks were partly
counterbalanced by renewed purchtss
and It was noted that all of the foreign
offerings have been very well taken
In faot the market, though narrow and
at times a very dull one, has shown a
considerable degree of underlying
strength, and this activity was In con
nection with the advances of several
prominent trading stocks, like Union Pa
cific. Baltimore & Ohio common, Illinois
Central. Norfolk & "Western and Sugar.
In the case of the two first mentioned se
curities, the movements were based on
renewe'd reports .of favorable action In
connection with dividends, the expecta
tion being that both stocks would he
placed on a 4 per cent basis. The declara
tion of a 2 per cent semi-annual dividend
on Li. & N. had a favorable effect, al
though It was about what had been con
fidently looked for. The disposition of the
street. In fact. Is to take a more cheer
ful view of railroad dividend prospects.
The bond market, too. Is bare of offer
ings, and in some cases prices for favor
ites, moderately high Issues have fu'ly
recovered the amount of their July cou
pons In the past fortnight.
DROUTH IN ARIZONA.
Cattle Dj-inc ly Thousands and
Crops Destroyed.
LOS ANGEIiES. Cal., July 13. Reports
from the drouth-stricken sections of Ar
zona are to tho effect that every water
hole and most of the wells have gone
dry. In consequence cattle are dying by
the thousands and their shrunken frames
dot the desert country of Pima, Pinal,
Santa Cruz. Yuma, Cochla and parts of
Maricopa Counties. Tho loss to owners
of herds cannot be computed, as In their
present gaunt condition no market can be
found.
Rarely in the history of the terrltory
has the water in tho Gila and Salt
Rivers been so scarce. Not a drop Is re
ported in the Gila, and thero Is none In
the San Pedro from Benson to Its con
fluence with the Salt River above Phoe
nix. At Casagrando tho Immense reser
voir is dry, tho supply having long since
been exhausted. Crops of alfalfa, bar
ley and wheat between Florence and
Casagrande, as well as on the Indian res
ervation at Sacaton, where, tho Plmaa
dwell, are beyond hope. Added to this
all Is tho destruction of timber by
forest fires, which continue to rage in
tho Santa Catallna Mountains.
