NEW YORK, Feb. A communication has
been sent by the New York merchants com
mittee to the New York Commissioners of Rail
roads, in which figures are given showing divers
ions of freights by railroad companies. They
claim that it is no slight matter, and show that
transfers of this kind have not been merely oc-
casionai, but are constant practice Of the com
panies. and, AS - proof, cite the reports of the
New York Central and Pennsylvania companies
showing freight diversions. From the best in
formation the committee can obtain they believe
the greater portion of the diverted tonnage is
first-class freight, and claim that this works
great wrong to shippers. They pray that such
action may be taken as will afford permanent
relief from this evil

The Problem of College Government.

Boston, Feb 4.-The Harvard College faculty.
by an almost unanimous vote, has passed mo-
tion to have conference between committee of
the faculty and committee of the students in
the near future. The first conference will be
merely to settle the question whether it will be
advisable for the students to cooperate with the
faculty in college matters, and, if advisable, to
determine the best way to get satisfactory rep
resentation of the students. Each class will
elect four of its members for the first conference
This committee of sixteen will meet Professors
Shaler, Quincy and Palmer, and Messrs Wendell
and Croswell, of the faculty committee The
problem will be to determine the best means of
student representation. It has been proved
practically impossible for the faculty to agree on
a student committee, for when it was attempted
every one was dissatisfied with every one else's
list The only way is to have satisfactory cleo
tions come from the students, and to give power
to the joint committees to expel any member
whois not efficient. The faculty, of course, will
have the power of veto. The theory of student
arbitration has been carried cut successfully at
other colleges, and the different members of the
faculty are very sanguine of satisfactory result
