Mr.. Leland was of the Baptist denomination,
the other two were Congregationalists.
a. This -etssement. is to say the least,
tala1o'f one, granting the figures given
to be correct. The implication, to a per
SOL not acquainted with tie facts, is that
tie University had been in operation l.
years up to 1908, and had graduated but Il
students. The fact was that the University
was not organized with president and teach
ers TIL 1900, when instruction began. The
chief reason for the delay poverty need
not be dwelt upon. In the mesn time pre-
paration in the way Of buildings was going
on. There We're no graduates till 1904.

Ma SUMNER on TIE FLORIDA CAsE.-Sena-
tor Sumner Of Mass, has shown up the for
mer practices Of the British Government, s..
compared with the unmeasured indignation
which the British press has poured out upon
Us 'or the capture Of the Florida in Bahia by
Capt. Collins -
After Distinguishing the present as a case
70 be decided rather by historical preceden,s
than by the strict provisions Of international
law, Mr.. Sumner proceeds to enumerate the
Instances In which England has violated the
neutrality OF foreign nations. The list tx
tends from the reign Of Elizabeth to that Of
Nlctoria-irUm 1865 to lS50-nearly three
centuries. Ii embraces sinking OF ships be-
longing to Spain and the Hanse Towns IN
the harbOrs OF CadIz and Lisbon in 1868 -
the attack on the Dutch fleet in Bergen,
Norway, century later the massacre Of 3
French crew and capture of their vessel in
the port Of Genoa in 1898 the seizure Of
Genoese vessels at LeghOrn the attempt IN
l795 to capture the French Minister at the
entrance of Newport Harbor: the seizure Of
Swedish vessels in the Danish ports in 1901;
the destruction Of the French ship L'lmperi-
eu1 of Cape Henry in 1906; the outrage on
the Chesapeake in 1907 the sinking Of the
Essex at Valparaiso in 1914, and OF the &c
neral Armstrong at Fayal the case of the
carolina. and the seizure Ut the Brazilian
saIp Santa Cruz in Brazilian waters in 1850.
Mr. Sumner quotes az length from the
Earl Of Chatham instructions in the case Of
the violation of the neutrality of Portugal
by the capture OF the French fleet off LagO-,
IN which apology was all that was ever CIV
en-. The ships were not restored, indemnity
was not paid ana France afterwards made
this one Of the causes of war against POrtu-
gal.
These precedents bear ON the question OF
restitution. In not one Of them ISds II made
IN one II trds refused: IN the Others II trGs
arrided 6y destruction Of the resseLs. MI
Summer also alludes 10 the ABNORMAL charac-
ter of the Florida. "a lawless gypey OF the

HEIGHT or MANSFIELD MoUNrAN.-Mr. II
Doton Of Pomfret, during the month of Au-
gust last, made new measurement Of the
height of Mansfield Mountain. He ran a
series Of levels from the surface Of the sleep
ers On the railroad track at Waterbury. b7
way Of Waterbury Centre and Stowe village,
to the Summit House, e. the Nose and the
Chin so called, Of the mountain. The
height above tide water, Of the top Of the
railroad slecpers, was known to be. from the
levels of the railroad surveys, 425 feet. By
Mr. Doton's dwellings, it appears tina, the
height above tide water
OfWaterbury Centre Methodist Church is 7l253
" Mansfield House (Stowe VILLAGE Is 720.21
81 Ridge southwest ofSummit House IS 3.6122s
- Summit House 5,s4I64
- Mansfield, " the Nose 4.O56.3J
the Chin 4,3s9.0S
This makes "the Chin to be about l0ft
higher than As given in ThompzOns Yer
mont. The earlier surveys were barometer
cal ones. Mr.. Doton's result, obtained BY
leyeling, must be considered the correct one.

Owing to the peculiar situation Of Japan

the action OF that empire in performing
