EXCELLENT SHOWING FOR AN OFF YEAR Effort Will Be Made to Secure the 1898 Convention for Omaha , STRONG DELEGATION FROM THIS COUNTY Thirty Di-lomiti-M to lie ClniMcn to At- tc-iiil tin.National Convi-nlloii at Detroit CitmllilatfN fur tinriiiti . ' ' 'A largo proportion of the Douglas count } republican clubs hxve elected delegates to the annual convention ot tbe Nebraska State Icaguo whlrh meets at Lloyd's opera liouic Tuesday night. While the incentive of an approaching preaching national campaign which brought out such a large attendance at Lincoln a year ago Is now lacking , the Indications are that the theater will be well filled when 1'resldent Mc.Crp.iry calls the convention to order. The election of officers and the selec tion of thirty delegates to the national con vention of the league , which meeu > at De- troll next month , are the only matters of general Interest which arc likely to be con sidered by the convention , but aa It la ex pected that the delegation to the national corventlon will make a vigorous fight to se cure the IS'JS convention for Omaha , there Is more local interest In the gathering Tuesday Eight than would naturally be expected In an off year when there arc few political con siderations to induce delegated to attend. It looks as though Douglas county would l > e represented by at least -100 delegates , and twhllo It Is Impossible to forecast tbe attend ance from other parts of the state It Is ex pected that U will amount to fully as many \ mor . \ A call his been issued to the Douglaa county delegates to meet In a caucus at Crclghlon hall tonight and any differences that may exist In the local organization will probably be settled at that time. It is tua intention of the leader * to select the dele gates who will be named to represent thic congr ssional district at Detroit at that time GO that the local delegates may act an a unit In the convention the following evening. CANDIDATES FOR DELEGATES. There are thirty delegates to be selected altogether , consisting of four from i .ch con gressional district and six at large. As Douglas county will undoubtedly be allowed at least one of the delegales-at-large the local republicans arc count-ing on a represen tation of five at thb national convention. Among the names mentioned for these placna uro those of Charles J. Grcsne. Mayor Frank E. Moorcs , James H. Van Dusen. W. F. Gur- ley B. J. CornUih and A. J. Lunt. Until the delegation It brought togelb.cn In caucus tin1 aspirants stand on what is apparently an even footing and it Is not anticipated that any dif ficulty will be had in reaching an anvlcablc adjustment of their claims. There In likely to be some difference of opinion in regard to the action of the Douglas county delegation In regard to the presidency of the state league. Charles E. Winter o ! this city Is a candidate and hi * friends are pushing him vigorously. On the other hand some of the local leaders feel that President JlcCrcary is fairly entitled to another term , and thai Mr. Winter should defer his cam paign until another year. Whether they will bo able to overcome the natural tendency ol the delegates to support a local candidate U doubtful , but they will probably oppose any effort that may bo made In the caucus to se- euro au endorsement of Mr. Winter' * candl- dac > .

WASHINGTON. June 27. The report of the committee of twelve on rural schools In the United States , appointed at the convention of the National Educational association In July , 1SB5 , has been completed and will be submitted at the next annual gathering. It Is one of the most Important documents on school education that has appeared since the promulgation of the report of the committee of ten on secondary education In this country two years ago. The committee consists ot Henry Sabln of Iowa. D. L. Klehle of Min nesota , A. H. Poland of New York , C. C. Hounds of New Hampshire , J. H. Phillips ot Alnlama , D. A. Hlnsdale of Michigan , S. T. Black of California , W. S. Sutton of Texas , L. E. Wolf of Missouri , United Statea Com- tnMlouer of Education Harris. L. I ) . Evans of Georgia , and C. U. Skinner of New York. The report discusses the rural school problem In the different aspects cf school malntcn nc : , supervision , supply of teachers and Instruc tion and discipline. Each of these subjects was in charge of a sub-committee of three , their work being reviewed by the full com mittee. The re-port says that for purposes of or ganization maintenance or supervision noth ing should be recognized as the unit smaller than the township or county. The school district is the most underslrable unit possi ble. Effecting this change wherever the dis trict system prevails would conduce lo effect simplicity ot organization , economy in fundG. equalization of taxation , and a system of supervision which would produce better re sults. All the sub-committee favor tbe con- t-olldatlon of schools which are too small to employ profitably the time of one teacher 5n larger schools as far as practicable , In order that better facilities may be employed than now possible. Every community should bo induced to raise ccttaln sum for the support of Ita schools aa a prerequisite for receiving Its share of public money. A certain definite sum should bo appropriated to each school out of the state funds and the remainder should be divided In accotdance with some fixed and established rate , a discrimination being made in favor of townships mcst wil ling to tax tharr.aelves for school purposes. OBSTACLES IN THE WAY. One of the great hlmlerances of the Im provement of the rural school lies In Its Iso lation and Its Inability to furnish to tbe pupli that stimulative influence which comes from contact with others of his own age and ad vancement. The committee , therefore , reeom- rsends collecting pupils from smaller ccboolii Into larger and paying from the public fundu for their transportation , believing that In tliit way better teachers can bo provided , more rational methods of instruction adopted and at the same time the expense of conducting the schools can be materially lessoned. There Is a tendency to fill , the rural schools with untrained , immature teachers. The estab lishment of normal training schools , under competent Instructors , with short courses each year of which shall be complete In It- eelf. would do much to remedy this ovll. .The extension and adjustment of the courses and terms of the state normal schools GO as to constitute a continous session would enable them to contribute moro directly than now to the Improvement of tha teachers of rural schools. The state would then be Justified In demanding some degree of professional train ing from every teacher In the rural as well as In the city school. The establishment of libraries , the prose cution of the work of school exte-noion by lectures and other means , the introduction of such studies as will have a tendency to connect the school and the home , eFpeclally these having a direct bearing upon the every-day life of the community , and the necessity of applying the laws of sanitation to the construction of rural school houses , demand Immediate attention. LACK OF SUPERVISION. The rural schools are ouffcrlng from want of official and intelligent supervision. In every state some standard of quallflcHlons. moral and Intellectual , with some amount of actual experience , should be demanded by law from those who aspire to fill the office of kuperlntcndent or supervisor of schools. Good morals and good manners constitute an eosential part of an educational equip ment. The Inculcation of patriotism , of re spect for law and order , of whatever tends to make a good citizen , Is of as much Im portance In a email as In a larger school. Regularity , punctuality , obedience. Industry , self-control , are as necessary In the coun try as In the city school. Country school teachers should call to their aid the beau tiful things in nature. Some Important recommendations are made ao to Inrtructlon and discipline and the evils of attempting to grade rural schools as the city schools are graded are set out at length. In connection with school exercises at the town or county center , once or twice a year , competitive examinations are not recommended unless they are care fully guarded. The feature of soclil Inter course , the stimulus which comes from meeting with one'o mates , have advantages which ought not to be neglc-cted. There Is embodied an interesting report urging negro teachers for negro schools. It says the Instinct of the educational develop ment of the negro must be from within and by the race Itself , and not solely through cxtraneouo agencies ; that the intellectual and moral dependence of the race must not bo perpetuated and the responsibility of teaching bis own race furnishes Incentives and means for race elevation. The conclu sion reached Is thst the Instinct of race Identity renders Impossible the realization of an Ideal relation between the white teacher and the negro pupil. WOH 1C OX TIIK TARIFF HIM. . Probability the .Mi-n llr < - Will \ , t Hi- Klnl lifil ThiVck. . WASHINGTON. June 27. The republican tarin managers are still hopeful that the present may prove to be the last week of the tariff debate In tbe senate. All tbe schedules have been gone over once , leaving nothing to bo dona but to consider the paragraphs in the varlouj trhedulee which have been passed when reached In their regular order because of differences of opinion among the republi cans ihonuelvcK. .Many of these differences have been adjusted In the republican ranks , but the democrats will naiurally take advan tage of their knowledge of the feeling exist- liiK among their opponents to debate some of the questions at length. It Id understood now that coal , leather , hides and lead ore will each b& vigorously discussed , as will also the questions , though more briefly , of recip rocity , the treatment of trusts and tbe dis position of tbe Hawaiian reciprocity treaty. In view of the determination of the demo crats to exploit all these questions and oth ers as well , It would seem impossible to con clude the senate's work on tbe bill before the end of tbe week , and It Is more than probable- that the final work will be' reserved for the following week. Tbe boufo will continue this week Its policy of adjournment from Monday until Thursday. After that Its course will depend upon the action of tbe senate. If by any chance a vote should be bad on tbe tariff bill Wednes day or Thursday , the houui probably will remain In seulon to receive the bill , disagree to the tenate amendments and appoint con feree * .

On the 14th the men from bath the Marlon and the flagrhlp were landed. While on the march to the drill grounds an orderly brought an order and the battalion returned on board. This action was taken. It Is un derstood , on a rumor to the effect that ths Nanlawal would land a force of men to take charge of the Hawaiian cua-.oais house. The Japanese failed to act nnd It la believed that Admiral Bcardsloe's prompt action caused the captain of the Nanlawal to change his mind. The English-speaking people here believe that there was good fouudatlon for the rumor , in rplte of the denial made at the Japanese legation. "There are all kinds of rumors floating around , " Mid Counsellor Aklyaraa. "One ridiculous one waa that the Japanese steam ers were to land and take charge of the customs house. Another Is to the effect that the Nanlawal is to leave on WednesSay next. That rumor , as also the other. Is with out any foundation whatever. About two months hence another man-of-war will ba here , and the Nanlawal Is not likely to leave before then.

I'OSITIO.V 7)P TUB JAPAN'USB. llnv < * No IlvHlro to Ann ex Ilnvrtill , So Tlioy Ahxprt. WASHINGTON , June 27. The Japanese position on the annexation of Hawaii by the United States has 'been ' made known from a very high source. The Japanese base their cpp.slticn to annexation almost entirely on the ground that It Is an Interference with the treaty rights of Japan , and complain especially that the treaty waa negotiated In the face of the most friendly protestations Irom Japan , and at a time when the Japan ese authorities bail been led to believe that no such , treaty would bo undertaken. The folloAlng may be accepted as an absolutely accurate outline of the prsltlon of the Japanese legation In Washington : Tlio Japanese Insist , as on all former oc casions , that the Japanese government hsii not now and never bad had any designs against Hawaii. This they consider a moat Important point because of the talk of col onization , which thty tay has apparently had fo much weight In the discussion of the question. They contend that the Japaneae first went to Hawaii In response to the demand for labor In the island under proVisions - Visions of a treaty concluded In 1SSC at the scllcltatlons of the Hawaiian government. They call attention to the fact thU the Japanese government has always been averse to having Its people go abroad as "coolies ' ac the Chinese do , and that the government ties always otriven to prevent such Immi gration. As a consequence tbe Hawaiian treaty waa eo worked ae to prevent even the sutplclon of anything like coolie labor. The Intert-f-ta of all partlc-s , they say , were protected , and as a conuequence the Hawaiian planters secured a high clsss of agricultural labor upoa fair terms and under fair clrcum- etancea that did not give tbe least occasion for tbe dlilike and opprobrium which gen erally attach to contract labor. This treaty , they say , worked grandly for years , and until the planters becamerestive under tbe conditions imposed by the treaty , thinking , the Japanese bold , that they could c-ecure It'bor ' more cheaply with the rejtrlctiorm re moved. At tbe same time the question of an nexation came up and the adherents of union with thct United States thought It would be ncccjsary to make changes In the method of obtaining labor nececsary to the prosperity of the sugar planters of the Inland. Tbla < v > as the beginning of tbe "voluntary" immi gration to Hawaii. The Japanese law Is very strict In oppos ing the exportation of Japanese labor , except where employment is auured , and It la claimed that under Its provltlotii It would be linparulble to flood the -Hawaiian islands , as It asserted to be the purpose , without thb connivance of the Japanese authorities. Tale they bold could net 'be secured In view of thu policy of Japan against tbe exportation of coolie labor and In view of the repeated denials of Japan of any designs upon Hawaii , They auert that Hawaii too ) : no ttc-j to restrict Immigration from Japan until Ust February , when a sudden and surprising de mand was made on Japan to this end. Thin , they claim , U evUence sufficient that there was no flooding of the Island. Thty regarded this demand from the Ulan-J government as capricious and concluded ihat It was made for the purpcee ot Increasing the agitation In the Interest of annexation and to furnish a pretext for ppsedy action In that direction.

NEW YORK , June 27. The lower part of the trunk of a man wns found by boys In the woods nt 171'Hi street and Undercllffe avenue , this city , today. It was terribly mutilated and shows plainly that a murder was com mitted. It was wrapped In oilcloth and manllla paper exactly as was the upper part of a trunk found In the East river off Eleventh street Saturday. The two are parts of th same body. The two pieces were found more than eight miles apart , the one in the water and the other on the land. The part found today comprised the lower part ot the trunk from the fifth rib to the hips , the legs having been severed from the body at the hip joint. It was wrapped In three folds of oilcloth. Tin ? oilcloth was evidently cut from the tame piece as that which inclosed the upper part of the trunk. It was new and of a cheap patern , bright red with gilt figures on It. It is like that commonly used for table cloths In tenement hoUEca. The find today was a bulky bundle lying against a wall next to Undcrclifte avenue , where the shrubbery Is very thick. It had not been dissected , which does away with the belief that the body had been handled by medical students. Besides , It bail been terri bly hacked when separated from the upper portion. It was sent to the morgue , where It exactly JlUed the part found Saturday. Deputy Coroner O'Hanlon performed an autopsy on the upper part of the trunk to day before the other had bc < ? n found. He dlo- covercd two ctab wounds , one between the fifth and sixth , ribs and one between thf Klxth an eeventh .In the region of the hear' . There was nlso.a . stab wound back of ihe left collar bone , that extended down to tbe apex of the left lung.Dr. . O'Hanlon found-a bruise on the loft forearm , and on the rlgUi forearm was n contusion showing the Im print of a heel , having hob nails , like thove In heavy boots. He found an Incised wound in the palm of the right hand , which he said WAS probably caused by the victim stiz- lug the weapon with which he was attacked. There was no water or eerum In the IIIUKB. which were well filled with air. There was a knife wound two Inches long In the apex of the heart , corresponding to the wounda be tween the ribs. Numerous contusions were also found on the body , which wounds , Dr. O'Hanlon thinks could not have been In flicted after death. The work of cutting off the lower limbs had been done very cleanly without hacking. The doctor ststed that the man could not have been dead more than thirty-fix h irs ami perhaps not more than twenty-four. He calculates the man's age at about S3 yearn and his height at five feet ten Inches. Ho was R laborer , and the nails were down to the quick , as If from a habit of biting them. The condition of the body indicated a well- nourished , healthy man. The police arc wondering at what spot the llmta of the corpse will be found. They think they will turn up some place before long , but do not think It likely that the head will ever be found. They think the'murderer has cither burled it or burned It In a furnacp In order to keep secret the Identity of bis victim. No surgical skill was employed In dismembering the body. On the breast of the trunk a large piece of the flesh had been hacked away. This may have been done to prevent Identification "by means of tattoo marks. XOVBIj SCIIBMIi II If IICUCLAHS.

They entered the bank of Rogers & Son some time early In the evening. They had pre viously attached awire to the trolley line of the electric railway. This wire was run through an alley , over a transom and to the safe. Another wire attached to the rail ol the street car track WBB brought Into the bank. At the cnd.i of these wires were car bon points. With these carbons au attempt was made ) \rith the arc light thus formed lo melt tbe knob of the combination. The ex periment worked and the knob had been nearly melted away when the current was shut off shortly after midnight. The burglars then gave up tbe task. The Job was planned scientifically.

The position of Cornell In college boat racing wan made known today as follows : First Cornell will , as victors , receive al most any proposition from Yale and Harvard that thcso colleges wish to make , but "rill not present a proposition us to future en gagements. Second No proposition win bo accepted by Cornell that compels It to Join In an exclusive clara with Yale and .Harvard at the sacrifice of her friendly relations with Columbia and I'enns > Ivanla. Third Cornell , Columbia and Pennsyl vania will combine for races , probably upon this course , and will Invite the University of Wisconsin to come In. Yale and Harvard may also enter lf-their _ exclusive dual agree ment Is not a handicap. Fourth Cornell may try to arrange to race again In England with purely American methods and as the representatives of Amer ican college rowing. Cornell holds that Its victory over the two other colleges compels recognition If Harv ard and Yale with to hold cr attempt to hold the record for American college rowing. Cor nell also holds that as Cornell , as vlc'or. condescends lo row v. .th Pennsylvania and Columbia In a spirit ol true sportsmanship and to make the American championship aa great a victory as pceslLlo , Yale and Harv ard shuiiU come into the combination until at least such time ns It lo demonstrate. ! that they are superior to these other colleges. WHAT COUHTNEY SAYS. Coach Courtney of Cornell says : "Cornell stands tendy to meet Yale and Harvard and willinn to row them at any and nil times , but Is not ready to bo an unwelcome guest In a three-cornered arrangement. American spirl ; 1s against withdrawing when beaten. It has been customary over bcre to keep at it until pluck and skill crowna the efforts. " Captain Andrew Boyle of 1'tnnsylvauia is still more emphatic. Today he oald : "I don't want to throw cold water upon any scheme that will lead to wide open com petition on the part of all rowing colleges In this country , but I don't believe that Harvard or Yale will row with Cornell again unless Cornell agrees to a three-cornered race. I am quite positive that Cornell will refuse to listen to fuch a proposition , but will Insist that Pennsylvania and Columbia be admitted. What we of Pennsylvania ex pect to see Is a quadrangular race1 on the Hudson river course , between Cornell , Penn- . ' .rlvanla , Columbia and the University of Wisconsin. Wisconsin would undoubtedly like to come In , and I think will be In vited. Of course , if Yale and Harvard broaden out. they too , would be welcome. " Cornell's navy Is very much averse to the proposition to again have two sets of races , and one of the directors oaid today : "Cornell will not agree next year to row twice. It la our Idea that It Is too trying , and as the victors we believe that wo should have the tay as to who shall be allowed to row In any one set of races which we may arrange. " The I'ouphkeepoie course Is as good aa settled upon for the races next season. Prof. Whether , who dominates the affair * of the Cornell nay. eays that Cornell Is perfectly patlsfled and he believes It almost a perfect course. Dr. Walter Pect Is an enthusiast over the I'ouphkeepsle course and Ellin Wan of Pennsylvania and captnin Boyle are both In favor of the course. CHANGES IN CREWS. There are rumora of cbangcj In the coaches of the university crews next year. It Is said Mr. Cook , Yale's coach , is to retire and that Will Beard of Poughkcepsle , who rowed In the' Yale-Henley crew , is slated to take his place. Courtney will remain with Cor nell , ot course , end Harvard will have an other try at English metnods by having Mr. Lehman come over again next tprlng. It Is expected that Dr. Walter Peet , who coached Columbia In their successful year , will again take hold of the college crew. He Is to be the physical director of the uni versity and will add the position of coach to it. Ellis Ward will remain with Penn sylvania and says bo tees \ery good material In this year's freshman class for a big 'var sity crew next year. Tbe crews did not go out on the river thla afternoon. There Is much speculation as to the outcome of the frefhmen race. Colum bia stinds first pick. As to the 'Varsity race. Mr. Courtney said today that he be lieved they would have a harder race on Friday than they rowed last Friday. Ona thing Is very certain , that the crows In the Filday race will makn every endeavor to cut the time of ! a t Frldiy In the hope of demonstrating that they are faster than the Yale and Harvard crews. At Columbia quarters tbo men spent very quiet day. Pennsylvania's crew felt rather religious upon the eve of the battle and decided to have religious services at their quarters. Accordingly. Rev. U. It. Judd an Episcopal mlnlater , wa ? engaged to preach and bo chose the appropriate text : "The race is not al ways to the swift , nor the battle to tbo strong. " At Cornell there was nultt , except for tha visit to Pennsylvania In the afternoon. Columbia' * 'varMty crew , according lo statistic ! ) gathered tonight , average-a 1C3 pouDdo. Pennsylvania averages 1C5 and Cor nell 156. DOCK Not l.llir Ilio HnfCM. POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y. , June 27. Hey.
