CEOAR SPRINGS INSTITU TE. Splendid Showing in Teaching the De and the Blind. The forty-flfth annual report of ti Cedar Springs Institute for the deaf an the blind is a very interestfqg documet The Board of Commissioners say the are very mu.-h pleased with the abl management of the superintendent. For the coming year the board re commends for support, repairs, improve ruents, and electric lights the sum ( $22 120, which Is a small amount fo ttbe support of such an institution an shows most careful and economici management. During the past year the average at tendance hsn been 129. There ar thirty-five in the depar tment for colore pupils. The enrollment has risen fror twenty-six In 1877 to 154 in 189: This lar-e in rease has been due i a large ni asure to the continuous an wise management of the board. Th stiperintendent says the last year hu i hten one oi successful work. Ther 11,1ve been no deathis and not a case< D serious siAkuess a.,,ong the pupils. Tb healthfulne.ss of the place is evidence S by the bill for medical attendance fV the past year, which has been only 421 The receipts from pay pupils durin r the year were $383.02 and the expendi tures were $17,316.95 for all purposeE The superiutendent says that tl largely -increasing number ot pupi makes it necessary that a supply < L proper machinerv for the laundry shoul be put In and recommends the puttin in ot an eiectric light. plant on th -yround of economy and iafety. Thi Ways and Means CommitLue of th House recommended these appropria tionE at the last session ot the L-gisla ture, but for so.ne reason the HlouQe di not make the appropriation. The i eport goes o-i to say: "Some action was taken by the las Legislature looking to the separation o the two classes (the (leaf and the blind providedl for here. The request for thi qcLion did u t, origina'e with the man tvement of the school, but I feel surt your board will agree with me tat said action looking to the establishment au maiutenance by the State of Beparat schools for the deal and blind is desdra ble, and wi I have your eartiest suppor when it shall become necessary to ar ranue for the accommodation of a larg er number of pupils than we now have There c -n be no strong reason give: for the dual na,ure of the school, excepi that o economy In dollars and cents. while various reasons may be urged foi tie maintenance of separate schools. Our printin offiee has been redLted and returtishled and Is now well equipped for tffording miustructiol in pr.uing. Ot- thanks are due to the eifferent raiitoads thrmju:toul. the State for he special rates allowed the >upils in go. ine to and from school. The number of pup Is in attendance for the ensuing year will be as great om .!reater than that of the past Year." A short history of the institution pre pa-red b. Mr. N F. Walker as a contri bution to the general histnry of all th schools for the deaf and blind in tht United States and Canada and Mexict is append(ed to the report,. TIhe institution was established at iti present location in 1849 by Rev. Newtoi Pmnckeny W alker and it opened with class of five children The school was changed from an indi vidual enterprise to aState institut,om in 1857, when the Legislature made at appropriation for the erect,ion of sulita ble buildings. The school was closed in 1865 an< reopened in Oc'.ober, 1866, but wt soon closed again on account of the un .sett,ler conitiion of the State's finances Itn 1869 it was opened again, with J. M H ughsoni, a graduate of the institu ion as sup)ermnterndent. In 1872 he resigned, and the present superintendent, N. F Walker,a son of ti-e founder, whose (death occourred in 1867,was appointed. In that year a building was fitted uf for the colored pupils, and the Radica] Board of Commissioners attempted tc force social equality in the school, by issmini the following order to the auper intendent: "First. Colored pupili; must, not only be admitted int,o the institution on appli. cation, but an earnest and faithful ef for it must.be made to induce such pu l)ils to apply for admission. "Second. Such pupils when admit,ted must be domiciled in the same building, must eat at t,he same table, and be taught in the same class rooms and by the same teacher, and must receive the same attention, care and consideration as white pupils." On the reception of the above order the sut.serintendent and all other officers sent in their resi.<n'tlons.

A Fig.ht wil h R bb r8 CLIFTON, 8. C, Nov. 17.-One of the most daring robberies ever ierpetrated in this section occurred about twelve miles above here, near thi old Cow. pens battle-grotind tod Ly. Tine Goode brothers, two dt7sperate characters of tnat neighborhood, seizad a wagon team witt three bales of cottot ana made away with the same. A posse of auout twenty-five resolute and de termined men, headed by R >bert S. Seruggs, wis soon In hot pursuit of the ugitives, who were overhaulel within a mile or two of this place, when a fierce battle took place. The Goodes fought like tigers, and although one Of them is thought to have been shot through and through by a Remington rifle, yet 'ne succeeded, wit.h nis orota er in mak(ing his escape upon the baick of a very fleet horse belonging to one~ of the pursuers. I'he pursuinig party was unhuirt, although one of them niar rowly escaped, a bullet passing through his clothes. A yotung man inmed Jolly was with the Gjoodes when they were found, and was arrested, ile dis claims any knowledge of the robbery. Nothing further has been learned of the whereabouts of the desperadoes. When last seen they wer- fiing rapid ly from t,he backs of their flyinig steeds. The horse which was carried off (a very valuable saddle horse) was found late this afternoon by Capt. TI'sdale. The animal hadi neen wounded by a pis tol shot, and doubtless, when they1 found him he could be of no further use to them, the robobers left him, and it is supposed that they s wamn the river above here and are now somewhere in biding amongst the dense forests near its shore. TIhe posse is still on the lookout, and it is conlicientlby ex pected that the desperadoes will be captured, although a stubborn resist ance may be made.-State Leaped to Death. BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 17.-A most sensat.ional suicide was committed inl the North western section of the city this morning. While North Eutaw street was thronged with early risers, a scene at the fourth story win, dow of a han(isome brick build ing near the Triangle of Eutawv St. Mary's and Madison avenue, at tracted the attention of the passers by. An entirely nude man was cro uching on the window sill preparing to jump. A moment later he plunged headlong to the ground. The man was Senor Carlos ])iez Gomez De Cadilz, the Consul of the Kingdom of Spain at Baltimore. The body struck tne earth with terrillc f orce. The skull was crushed and death was instantaneous. There is no doubt that Diaz committed the deed while in a fit of Insanity. Dlaz had been the i-anish Consul at Baltimore for two ye .s. Hle was 46 years old. IIe came from a dis tinguished Spanish family, and had been in the consular service of his na tive country twenty.-two years. For twenty years he was stationed at Tunis, Aigeirs. Many decoratioes were be stowed upon him by the Sp'ish and Portuguese governments andi the [Bey of Tunis. Senor Draz married an Enig lish woman. She with her two children were asleep In an adjoining room when the Consul leaped to dleath.

Grib GENRRBAL AGNTS,r A 0IPLOMATIC QUESTION. A hily Reception AwaItP the uaWail an R,e presentative. WASINGTON, Nov. 22 -It was clearly apparent this morning that the vublication of Minister Thurston's re ply to Commissioner Blount's report created a very disagreeable impression at the Department of State. None of the officials care to discuss the matter with it view to publication of their views, but privately it is intimated that the Minister has taken an extra ordinary course, that he has violated all the proprieties of diplomatic inter course, and that in any other country than the United States he would be immediately furnished with his pass ports, which is the diplomatic method of intimating to a minister that lie is persona non grata and had better take his departure. But Mr. Thurston has made it dilli cult for such a course to be pursued, by very shrewdly disclaiming in the be ginning of his article any intention of publishing an opinion on the interna tional questions at issue, and declaring that lie proposed confining himself to a st,tement of facts concerning himself in reply to Mr. Blount's personal at tacks upon him. Although the minis. ter under this cover, manages to dis cuss and traverse nearly every sub stant,ial statement made by Blount; his disclaimer obscures very much any violation by him of diplomatic propri eties-if, indeed, his statement can be so regarded-and would make it ditil cult for the Department of State to dtal with him, as it might other w.ise be di3 posed to do. But, as a matter of fact, th,- impres sion is that the Department t'"s nto in. tent ion of adopting heroic Ineasuies In Minister Thurston's case. Neverthe. less it may be anticipated that lie %ill meet with a rather chilly reception tp on his next visit to the department of State. All the State Department oflici.ils stotd mute when there was brougtit to their attention the published report, that Qlieen Lilioukalandi had been re 9toreC to the Hawaiian throne vester. day. In view of the intimatio4's that have been dropped, to the tffect that radical feature of Minister Wishes's instructions would develop soon after aid not betore, the sailing last Thurs day from Honolulu of the Alameda, which is due at San Francisco tomor row, and thatstirring events were ex pected to occur about that time, it can not besaid that. tile report is entirely discredited here. But if the ex trerme step h4s been taken, at the titne indicated, the American public will not be aware or it. by any news likely to come by ieans of the Alain.eda, tomorrow, and owing to the gap of twenty (lays in the mail s-rvi.-e caused by the wrack of the steamer Miowers, the pubiic must wait many uanys for that news unless something shou!d coune to band bv way of Uhina, through some out ward bound steamir touching at. Honolulu Thurston's dramatic recital of the revolution of 1887 recalls the f ict that when the newu of that event. was re ceived, the British minister(at that titme Sir Lionel Sackville Wt-s,) asked the United States to join England. France and Ger any in an internal ion al guarantee of the neut.rality of the Sand wich or Ha wai tan Islands (similar to the Samoan agreement.) The Unit ed States did not adopt the suggesti.n Nothing in aflirmation or contrad c tion of the rumor that ytsterday was Ilh fixed date for the restoration of the Queen catl iUe obtained from oflicial sou rces.
