WASHINGTON. Dec J7. A school
for Cabinet Minister Is the latest In
vention of President Roosevelt. It
Isn't, of course, a place where they
go and sit with arms folded while a
pedagogue lecture them on their du
tle. but Is none the less a school.
The first pupil entered is James Ru
dolph Garfield, who on March , will
succeed Ethan Allen Hitchcock as
secretary of the Interior. Mr. Garfield
Is at present drawing salary as com

only nominally discharging the duties
of that office. By order of Mr. Roose

Hitchcock as his preceptor. At least
a part of almost every day he spends
at the Interior department, familiar

take up. Special attention is being

nrosecutions. it being the declared
purpose of Mr. 'Garfield that there

the war on land grabbers.
Other matters of Interior adminis

and when Mr. Garfield enters the Cab

which he is to preside. In the mtan

only the most superficial knowledge of
the work that is before him, and the
business of the government frequently

AKman Say Japan Question Will
Not Be Compromised.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec ST. The
departure for the East of United
Statea District Attorney Robert T.
Devlin, In response to a summons from
Secretary Bonaparte give rise to a
report that the member of the local
board of eductatlon are to explain their
position on the Japanese question to
the authorities In the belief that the
meeting of all parties upon a common
ground might lead to a compromise.
The portion taken by the board doe
not seem to favor a proposition "of this
kind. According to President Altmann.
There is nothing to compromise."
"Debate win scarcely alter condi
tions or accomplish any change." said
President AKman today, "and a con
ference at Washington could not mod
ify the law under which the board Is
acting."

According to the statement of Max-
son, hi train topped an hour at
Laneho. While there rumor were re
ceived that the Taqul were on the
war path, and that the few people In
the neighborhood of the station and
railroad were In danger. The station
master, a man named Thompon, be
littled the matter and he said he and
hi wife would remain at their post.
The train bearing Colonel Maxson
and party had not left the station more
than an hour when the Taquls de
scended on the little party of Mexicans
and American and butchered four.
Station Agent Thompson an! his iff

pulled in at the time. The train ap
peared after four of the people had
been killed and Thompson and his wife
had defended themselves back of the
barricaded door of the station. As the
work train arrived the Taqul with-
drew.
The train bearing Colonel Maxaon
and party continued to a station about
fifteen miles farther along the line and
then, a the sign of the desperadoes
uprising became more alarming they
decided to return. The train started
back toward Laneho and when It ar

victims were still warm when Maxson
saw them and with the aid or others
on the train they were given h.isty
burial.
For many miles along the road the
scene was duplicated. Four more dead
bodies of Mexicans and AmerleanK
were discovered along the tracks. The
little band at this station had ben
able to repulse the attack of the Ta

number. The remaining members of
the company refused to leave on the
