A ssStrike' Among College students.
MADISON, Wis, Dec. 10.-TweDty sopho-
mores and freshmen of the State Univer-
ity we're indefinitely suspended from that
institution yesterday. On Tuesday about
40 members of the two classes signed an
agreement to the effect that they would
not attend military drill in the afternoon
from $3.50 to 4:30 O'Clock on the days that
were "bitter cold" About 20 kept the
agreement, but the remainder failed when
the hour arrived TO put in an appearance
at the drill exercise. Those who failed to
appear were suspended. The trouble, it
is claimed by the boys, has arisen from
the very strict discipline the new Professor
of Military Tactics has instituted. He re-
| quires that each student shall appear at
drill with a black tie, a clearly shaver face
aud polished shoes. Other requirements
of a military character are exacted. The
failure to comply ia respect to these con
stitutes q black mark, and five marks are
said to be sufi Client to give a student his
dismissal.

Railroad Troubles Near Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-Reports from various
parts of Michigan and Wisconsin indicate
q heavy snow fall. Yesterday and last
night the trsins* were badly delayed In
several places by drifts. The switchmen
employed in the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy rAilrosd yards have struck. The
night men quit last night, and the day
men are expected to go out this morning.
The trouble is q continuance OF the mis-
understanding Of some weeks ago. The
night men went to work at 2 2. M. and
were frequently compelled to quit work by
the engines being called in. which stopped
the switching, and they were paid only for
the actual time put in, while they de-
manded . full nights pay.
