The chicago University Property.

The special correspondent of the New York
Sunday Herald from Chicago telegraphs that
paper:
"The heirs of stephen A. Douglas have COM
menced another suit in the Superior Court against
the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company to
have the sale of the Chicago University property
set aside. The complainants are Robert nj. Doug
las of Greenborough, N. c., son of stephen A.
Douglas, and Adele Cults Williams, widow of the
latter. stephen A. Douglas, Jr is made party
defendant with the insurance company. The
complainants allege that the acts of the univers-
ity trustees in giving mortgage on the property
to the insurance company was contrary to the
terms of the agreement made between the foun-
ders of the university and Stephen A. Douglas
when the latter donated the property. The fore
closure and sale and the purchase OF the property
by the insurance company was they claim, illegal,
and the title then reverts to the heirs of the
donor"

ager of the nine for this term, in place of E. w.
Whitcomb, 49, who has entered Tufts, '87. The
grand stand on the ball ground was completed
Saturday forenoon. All that it cost the associa-
tion was for the material as the students built it,
and the substantial and wOrkmanlike manner in
which 1t is constructed reflects much credit to
their skill in the use of the hammer and saw. The
old fence behind the catcher'S position has been
removed and new one built, extending to the

Imp ortant Action Taken by Senate
Committee.

Especial to the PRESS.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-The Senate committee,
to which executive nominations are referred have
decided that i'll all cases when the nominees are
in the place of officials suspended resolution
shall be adopted to the effect that the suspension
is not for cause affecting either the personal or
official character of the suspended official but
because the President believes that it is for the
intere st of the public service to have officials in
political accord with the administration This
will relieve, among Others several Maine officials
against whom rather indefinite charges have been
made in letters from prominent Democrats, rec
ommending their removal before the expiration of
their terms, from having to prove, should they be
nominated to office under a Republican admins
tration, that they had administered their trusts
faithfully. In the case of one or two Maine Re-
publican officials, whose successors have already
been confirmed resolution of this character
will be passed.
