About 1,500 of the leading educators of the country were present when the meeting was called to order ty President Augustus 8. Downing, of New York. Supt.

Harris, Commissioner of Education. Mrs. M. B. Tucker said.

In speaking of the papers read and discussed at the meeting: "Prof. At water, of Wesley an University, Connecticut, brought the wrath of Vesuvius' on his head when he gave the audience his idea of 'alcohol as a He handled the subject from a scientific point of view.

It was well prepared, having the odor of 'midnight oil' about It but If anything was lacking In the thoughts advanced I him. It was clearly brought out in a forcible manner by Supt. E. H. Mark, of the Louisville schools.

He made the child first, and said that everything should tend to Its development, mentally and morally. The School Hoard was the result of legislation, but the teacher and Superintendent were elected, therefore care should taken in securing the ablest to be had. "He held that the one who makes a life study of hla work, the one who live in the child world, should be delegated to teach the child. Prof. Mark was at his best and liberal applause greeted him when he had finished.

Tb- Fire Department Committee of tr Board of Aldermen will wait upon Mayor Weaver this afternoon at 3 cl ck to try to induce him to allow them to name f-ur of the eight firemen to be anointed for service in the South Louisville and Enterprise engine houses. The committee will also confer wfth the members of the Board of Public Safety.

It Is thought that the eight men to be employed will be selected fn the substitute firemen, and that they will be named regardless of politics. A Democratic official, in discussing the hi nt of the Republicans for pie, said: "The members of the present Councd wre elected on what they termed a 'business-man's They come into office, crying that they were going to wort for the best interests of the -city and were going to give the people an economical administration. Above all things they were to take no part In politics. It now devetopes that they are working harder to get Republicans Into tl- Fire Ipartment than they are to promote the best Interests of the city and to save money for the taxpayers." NO PASTOR YET. Members of the Second Presbyterian Church Go Slow In Selection of Dr.

Hemphill's Successor. The congregation of the Second Presbyterian church. Second street and Bioadway, has not yet chosen a pastor to succeed the Rev. Dr. Charles It.

Hemphill. A member of the church said last night that no formal steps had been taken to secure a minister, and that the church be without a pastor for some time. The Rev. Dr. J.

M. Robinson, of Monckton. New Brunswick, accepted an invitation from the congregation, and preached yesterday morning and last night. He will remain here this week, and will conduct the two services in the church next Sunday. WILL REPORT FAVORABLY.

Council Expected To Allow Claims For Incinerator Property. The Joint Contract Committee of the General Council will meet this afternoon to discuss the question of the accept a nee or rejection of the two claims for property upon which the Incinerators are to be established. Mayor Weaver and the members of the Board of Pub lic Works will urge that the Council allow the claims at Its next meeting In order that the buildings may be completed In time for the Dixon Company to put In the incinerators by May 1 The contract specifies that the cremato ries must be ready for operation by that date. The work on the buildings has been greatly delayed by the slow ac tion of the Council. Mayor Weaver says the complaints of citizens against the Incinerators are not well founded.

It Is generally believed that the com mlttee will report favorably upon the claims. Kentucklans At the Hotels. Willard B. Rosenthal. Mr.

Once Lived In Louisville and Re ceived Vast Sum For Building Union Station In St. Louis. The suicide last week of John Willard Adams, brother of Mr. Walter 8. Adams, of Louisville, In New Tork city.

was a great shock to Kentucklans who knew the young architect. Mr. Adams formerly lived In Louisville and became widely known on account of his connection with the construction of the Union station In St. Louis. He was only about twenty-five year old when he was placed In complete charge of the building of the mammoth paasenger station.

For this work he received munificent pay. Adams was a member of the firm of Adams A Hopkins. New York builders and contractors. He shot and killed himself while his partner was on his honeymoon trip. A New York paper prints the following concerning the case: Despondency, due to 111 health and business reverses, led to the act.

Adams entered Duffy ft Son's saloon, at 100 West Fifty-ninth street. Without speaking to any one he went Into a side room. Pulling a revolver from his pocket he deliberately cocked It and raised It to his temple. There were two men in the room who were silent spectators of the act. Before they could Interfere the stranger pulled the trigger, a bullet crashed into his brain, and death was instantaneous.

As no one in the saloon knew the man hia pockets were searched. Cards of Adams Hopkins, of 1123 Broadway, were found, and also newspaper clippings referring to the firm of Thompson Adams and a settlement of troubles they had with creditors during; the building of the Union railway station, in St. Louis. Several letters, a pass on a Western railroad and five cents In money were also found In the pockets. The body was removed to the West Forty-seventh street station, and after some difficulty the relatives were Informed.

HAVE A LONG INTERVIEW. Congressman Boreing and a Republican Politician Hold Secret Meeting At Gait House). Congressman Vincent Boreing. of London, spent last night In the city, a guest at the Gait House. Shortly after his arrival he was met by a Republican politician, and they held a long conference behind closed doors.

Several other persons called on the Congressman during the evening, but he denied himself to them, and when a reporter for the Courier-Journal sent his card to his room the answer came back that he was "out." It Is said that Mr. Boreing came on from Washington because of the rumor that W. S. Taylor Intended to establish a government of hla own at London. What advice be will give Mr.

Taylor on the subject could not be learned; neither could the result of his conference with the Republican politician be ascertained. TO ELECT OFFICERS.

Lanphear, of Lexington, who was recently appointed by Commissioner Peck to represent the Kentucky distillers at the Paris Exposition, came to Louisville last night to arrange with the local distillers regarding their exhibits. Mr. Lanphear is completing arrangements to ship all exhibits at an early date, and expects to go to Paris about the middle of April to superintend the placing of the wbiaky. He said last night that he had had numerous Inquiries for space, but because of the limited amount he was compelled to refuse a great many demand. He said, however, that Kentucky would be well represented, and the display would not be surpassed by the liquor exhibitions of any other country.

In part: "In Ireland we regard the war now being waged by the British Government against rba two repMbilcs In South Africa as the most unjust, criminal and cowardly war or tne century, in oroer to deceive Lib eral opinion In Grat Britain and abroad, a pretext was put forward that the ob ject of the attack on the republics was to secure eqiuu rignts (or the lit landers The falsity of the oretext has been ex posed by the fact that Ultlanders of all raeea except English are fighting in the armies of the two republics.

Cubans Bitter Asralnst All Americans, SAY LOUISVILLE TOURISTS. MERCHANTS RETURN AFTER A BUSINESS TRIP. NOT A BRILLIANT SUCCESS. Islanders Cling Too Closely To Old Customs To Make Heavy Trade With Them Possible. MAY COME IN YEARS.

The Louisville manufacturers who went to Cuba two weeks ago in the interest of the various manufactories of this city returned home yesterday morning about o'clock highly pleased with their visit from a standpoint of pleasure. In a business way It was not a brilliant success, though It Is thought that in a few years Louisville will be able to build up an extensive trade with both Cuba and Porto Rico. It was found the great drawback was that Cuba was not metropolitan nor modern enough in her ways, and preferred to continue the old customs established hundreds of years ago rather than patronize new Industries. From V. H.

Englehard, who was a member of the Louisville party, a story of the visit to Havana was obtained, to gether with his impressions of the city, its people, their manners and cus toms and the business outlook for the Americans. He also gave a complete story of the trip. Mr. Englehard said: "Our trip down was devoid of anything of special Interest, but on our return was had plenty of excitement and a number of interesting experiences. We divided at Havana and six of the party went to Miami.

Florida, on the steamer Prince Edward, and th3 other twenty members sailed for Tampa on the steamer Olivette. We encountered a heavy sterol on the sea: said to have been the roughest ever known in those waters. Our steamer waa twelve hours late in arriving at Miami and the Tampa party was about four hours late. The vessels were seaworthy, however, and beyond the excitement of being at sea In a storm nothing occurred. Both parties met again at Jacksonville and after recuperating for one day the homeward trip was begun.

The Plant system took us to a point In Georgia, where our private car was attached to a Southern railway train, and we made the remainder of the Journey home on that road. They Hate Americans. "We were all highly pleased with Havana and found much pleasure and a great deal of business there, but In my opinion it will take five years for the natives to become accustomed to the American ways and learn to use American products. The city of Havana Is behind the times In almost every way and especially In business, which I think Is due In great measure to hatred the Cubans bear America and everything American. They hate our people to-day worse than they ever hated the Spaniards and.

of course, are loth to take up anything that smacks of the Yankee. "To illustrate their aversion to us I will cite an Incident that occurred In Havana shortly before we arrived. A wandering magician gave an entertainment at the Theater Marti, which is one of the principal places of amusement In the city. During his performance he displayed three flags made from handkerchiefs. The first shown was a Spanish flag, which elicited round after round of applause.

Then came the Cuban flag, which brought the Cubans to their feet in mad delight, but when the Stars and Stripes was displayed it was greeted with hisses. They seem to reject everything American, and the lower classes hate the United States army officers very cordially. "Business In Havana In some lines Is immense. I visited the wholesale grocery house of Gal ban which does an annual business of about The merchants have a peculiar system for doing business. Instesd of having salesmen visit the retail men.

they have a large building which Is called 'change. In that room every wholesale man has a booth fitted up for the sale of his goods and the retail men visit it every day from 8 o'clock In the morning until 1 o'clock In the afternoon, and buy goods. They also settle their accounts at the booths, and I was told that It was a common occurrence to receive $100,000 dally In this manner. It Is the custom there to pay all bills on Saturday of each week and none are carried lorwrer. In the wholesale house the clerks are required to eat and sleep in the stores and work night and day.

They are allowed one evening off each week and for their services they are paid $30 per month in Spanish silver. There Is no banking system in Havana and Spanish gold Is discounted 9 per cent, for United States currency and Spanish silver 2S per cent. "The principal foreign products handled are Porto Rican coffee, which is brought Into Havana free of duty, and American beer and farming Implements. A great deal of Porto Klcan coffee is handled In Havana, and it is far superior to our best cofTees. I visited the wholesale house of Sobrino de Carbo and saw 100.000 bags of coffee in the house.

This firm does a business amounting to about annually. I endeavored to sell some canned goods in Havana, but could not. The Cubans raise two or three crops of vegetables during a season and have no use for canned goods. The better classes buy canned French peas and canned California peaches and asparagus, but that Is about all. Fruits form one of the principal foods outside of vegetables, and their oranges are much better than our Florida oranges.

I found tbst the Cuban did not want American groceries and also that he cared little for anything else manufactured here. C. Nones. President of the Kentucky Wagon Works, was a member of our party, and he endeavored to introduce his make of wagons In Havana, but they preferred the old-style cart which is drawn by mules in tandem fashion and from one to ten mules hitched to each cart "A representative of a local flour mill was In the party, The mill sells a great deal of flour in Havana and American flour is extensively used. A shoe manufacturer sold a number of orders, but he could not sell the shoe ws wear here.

The Cubans have a differ sol style of shoe and the manufao- tnrer took the orders and will manufac ture them. "A member of a fertiliaina- comDanr opened negotiations to establish a fertilising plant in Havana. A great quantity of fertiliser Is used, but it wouia be Impossible to shin from the States, and the cheapest plan is to manufacture It on the island. Will Taks Ysara. "Our trip waa not a brilliant success.

but I think that In a few years' time there will be a demand for goods made In the United States. Havana needs many things to make her an up-to-date city. A good hotel conducted by- Americana would prove a paying investment. Our party stopped at the Ingla Terra and Hotel Telegrapha, both Spanish hotels. The bills of fart comprised a great variety of good things, but the cooking was miserable and everything had a taste of garlic.

A brick yard would prove a paying Investment, I think. Brick sell at 230 per thousand, and there is an abundance of clay close to Havana which could be procured very cheap. There Is prospect of a great deal of building, and if some Americans would establish a brick kiln they would do well. "The sanitary conditions of Havana are very poor, though the United States Government has made many Improve ments. The streets are very narrow.

and on the principal business street the awnings of business houses meet each other in the middle of the street, and the street Is thoroughly covered by them. The streets are not over thirteen feet In width, and the sidewalks are just eighteen Inches. The city has no alleys. and the residences extend from street to street. Each residence, however, has a small court, but no yards.

The houses are built without windows but have a large number of doors, snd where the doors are used for windows they are barred like a prison and the womeu stand at them like prisoners peering from a prison cell. Tn Cuban Mardl Gras. "We arrived In time to see the Mardl Gras celebration, which Is quite different from ours. The Mardl Gras parade was last Saturday, and the balls were given the following Sunday in the clubs and theaters. The parade was a beautiful sight.

Men and women dressed in fantastic costumes and masked drove through the streets In carriages, which were gorgeously decorated. They carried small bags of flour, which they would throw at the sight-seers, and the result was everybody along the line of march was covered with flour "The balls on Sunday were very pretty, and the costumes were something wonderful. The principal dance was the Danson, which Is a native Cuban dance. It is a slow two-step and very much like the and is danced within a radius of five or six feet. The music is weird snd pretty, and the dancers move for several hours without stopping.

"We visited Morro Castle and saw the horrors of Cabanas. We were shown dungeons In Morro Castle wheie Cuban prisoners were confined under the Spanish regime. The floors are of quicksand, and we were told that when a prisoner was placed In one ef them he soon disappeared, and the guard reported that he had been sent to some of the Spanish mines. "Gen. Weyler's summer home was included in our visit.

At one time it was a magnificent place, but the relic hunters have almost devastated It. We saw the Cuban dead wall, where Cuban prlsonms were lined up and shot by the Span-lards. The wall Is Just the height of a man's heart, and it is lined with bullets from the bodies of Cuban prisoners. "Ws met Gen. Wood, the Governor General of Cuba: Capt.

Lucie Young formerly of Lexington, who Is Governor of the PoYt: Gen. Humphrey. Gen. Fl ti ll ugh Lee. Military Governor of the province of Havana; Col.

Scott, the Adjutant General, and his assistant. Maj. Hlckey. We were treated with great courtesy by them, and Capt. Young met us In bis private yacht when we arrived and placed the yacht at our disposal during our stay.

"One of the roost Interesting men we met wss Carlos Ralavisse, who is a high type of Cuban. He represents a large Minneapolis flour mill, and is mentioned as a possible candidate for Mayor of Havana when the election for municipal officers Is held In May. It will be the first municipal election since the United States assumed control of the island, and no persons but native-born Cubans may hold ofnee. "We visited the principal manufactories of the Island. Tobacco and sugar are the chief products.

are many cigar factories which are controlled by an English syndicate. The highest grades of cigars cost about $73 In American gold per thousand, but when Imported to thia country they cost the Importer $178.80 per thousand. The Island produced 1.200.000 tons of sugar annually, but the higrh tariff prevents it being sent to America and foreign countries. The Cubans hope that the tariff will be taken off. and If It is done It will prove the salvation of the island.

"One of the most interesting sights In Havana Is the system of furnishing milk. Cows, goats snd the Jenny are driven to the door of a customer, and he Is furnished with as much milk as he wants fresh from the animal. "It was a great trip, and all enjoyed it very much, and I think It will prove profitable in the future." Several members of the party expressed themselves in high terms of the attention shown them by John J. Telford. Secretary of the Transportation Committee of the Board of Trade, who had charge of the party.

At the next meetlnsr of the Board of Trade a committee composed of mem bers of the party will make a report of the trip, and the board will determine the future course of the manufacturers In regard to the shipment of goods to the Island. WELL-POSTED MONARCH. Xing Oscar, of Sweden, Talks of Recent Happenings In Kentucky. Correspondence of the Associated Press. Btockhom.

Sweden, Feb. 12. As cabled to the Associated Press st the time, a representative of the Associated Press wss recently accorded an audience with King Oscar of Sweden and Norway. His majesty was very much Interested In hearing about conditions In America. Nothing happening there has escaped him.

He spoke of the feud i In Kentucky and about the educational Institutions with tbe same knowlKUre of facts. He had regretted very much to hear of the death of Oen. Lawto.i In the Philippines, showed a great Intercut In what was taking place on the Islands and asked many questions in te-gard to the progress of the camnalgn. Naturally the King was much concerned about the war In South Africa. It must he remembered that Great Britain, though in no way an ally of Sweden and Norway.

Is tbe best guarantee for the Independence of tbe two northern countries. Great Britain's world power once broken. It would not be long before the two little nations were swallowed up by their mighty neighbor In the East. From King Oscar's conversation the correspondent believed his majesty wss In favor of the British In South Af rlca. However, he spoke In the highest terms of the great strategic ability of the Boers and expressed a fervent wish that our own war In the Philippines and the Transvaal war would soon bo over.
