Harvard,s New Educational Plan.

[Examiner Dispatch-Special to THE HERALD
Boston, Dec. ia new departure in
university education is now under consid-
Grafton by the Harvard faculty with the
prospects entirely in favor of it's adoption.
This is the awarding of the degree Of
bachelor of arts after three years study.
Nowadays student can't get such de-
gree unless he takes the full academic
course for four years. The result is that
good many young fellows who are handi-
capped by scarcity of money or lack of
time, are unable to take the coveted sheep
skin. Under the plan proposed all such
students may take the four years. course
in three years, but they will have to work
that much harder. At present all academic
students are required to take four and one
half courses each week. Those who study
under the new plan will have to take six
courses week. They will thus save a
years time and six hundred to one thou
sand dollars in money
In conversation to-day President Eliot
said the plan might be adopted by the col
lege at the next commencement so that stu
dents could enter the new course in the
fall. There has been some talk about re-
ducing the four years course to two, but
President Eliot said the idea was prepos-
ferrous. In the further evolution of this
innovation it is said not to be improbable
that man may study wherever he hap
pens to be and by passing the Harvard an
nual examination at Cambridge, get de-
gree just the same as students in actual at
tendance at college.

THE SILCOTT DEFALCATION.
The Majority Of the Committee Want the
Taxpayers to Stand the Loss.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The special
House committee investigating the Silcott
defalcation has agreed upon report by
the terms of which an appropriation will
be asked to make good the losses sus-
tanned by the members of the House.
Several separate bills will also be re-
ported making the sergeant at-arm dis
bursting agent. Five of the seven members
of the committee, including the chairman,
state that the sergeant-at- arms was a pub
lie officer, and individual members are
Justified by usage and official recognition,
extending over many years, in so regard
ing him, and that the loss by the malfeas-
ance of Silcott should be borne by the
public treasury and not by the members
of Congress, who have not received the
compensation to which they are entitled
by law. The committee also hold
that the government would not be
justified in taking the special deposit with
the sergeant-at- farms for the purpose of ap-
plying it toward the payment of salaries
due by the government, and, therefore,
that such personal funds should be restored
to their private owners. By the proposed
pro rate arrangement those who have re-
gularly drawn their salaries up to now
would have the advantage of sharing in the
amounts that other members had not drawn
which a majority of the committee regard
as inadYisable.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 19.-Kilrain came to
this city Tuesday from Richburg, Miss.
He will remain here several days. He says
he will leave in time to reach Baltimore to
spend Christmas with his family, but that
depends upon certain pending arrange
ments. The truth is Jake is here with view
Of turning an honest penny in the old way.
There is in this city local pugilist named
Vaquelin who is anxious to have go with
the Baltimore boy, whose friends are will
ing to back him to the extent of 81 900 for a
ten round fight with small gloves, Marquis
of Queensbury rules. Kilrain refused to
fight for such small stakes, but says If
Vaquelin will put up 81 800 he will cover it,
and give the New Orleans sport sound
drubbing. Vaquelin's friends are trying to
raise the extra $500; if they do so the fight
will PROBABLY come off next Sunday at West
End.
OVaquelan is by no means to be despised,
even if he is comparatively unknown. He
is powerful fellow and can strike heavy
blow. His principal defect is lack of train
ing for the ring, his knowledge Of the
manly art being limited. He made his de-
but last spring when he bested burly fell
low from Mississippi. His second and
last fight was two weeks ago, when he
faced trained pugilist in the person of
Jem McGregor, better known as the St.
Joe Kid The talent put its money on the
KID, who was supposed to have an easy
thing of it. But contrary to expectations,
he was knocked out in the eleventh round.
to meet Kilrain, as his friends have great
faith in him. 1t is likely they will raise
the necessary stakes and the fight will
come off.

BosToN, Dee. ia bitter contest over
sectarianism in public schools is about to
break out again. The Protestants, who
elected three-fourths of the school board,
announce their intention to Immediately
abolish the use of Professor Anderson's
history which is lenient to all religious be-
liefs and reinstate Swinton's history,
which is most obnoxious to Catholics on ac-
count Of its severity to their faith in re-
ferring to the reformation. The Catholic
members of the board signifed their inten-
ton Of resigning and issuing an address to
the Catholic citizens. Nearly half the pub
lie school children are Catholics and such
action will undoubtedly lead to church de-
cree ordering them to parochical schools
AS the latter are under the control of the
Protestant school committee and the law
compels them to be up to the standard of
the public schools, serious complications
and contention of faiths are promised

Callahan's Charges Against Powderly.

SCRANTON, Penna., Dec. l9.-According
to lengthy statement furnished to-day
by General Master Workman Powderly of
his difficulty with onward Callahan which
led to his present prosecution, dates back
to the appointment of Knights of Labor in
1887 to watch state legislation in the
interests of workingmen. In March. 1888,
Callahan complained that the committeewas
neglecting its duty, etc. Powderly asked
him for his authority for stating that
members who stand high in the
order do not want their reports pub
lished.' Callahan replied that Powderly
was direlect in his duty, and the commit
tee sham. In January, 1888, Callahan
published his letter about legislative work
and the committee, and said that after his
last letter Powderly circulated an infamous
lie and thus injured his (Callahan's) polit-
ical chances before the June convention
ton this year to nominate assemblymen.
Callahan complained to Powderly that in
furious stories had been circulated, and
asked the publication of his letters. Later
he accused Powderly Of villifying
him by circulating stories which led
to his defeat, and declared that
If his letters had been published it would
have saved him, but that Powderly sacri-
feed him to save himself, as the letter
would have exposed Powderly's treachery
to the Knights Of Labor. Powderly
published a full statement OF the diff
Guilty together with several Gala
hans letters, in the Journal of United
Labor, August 1888, in which he asserted
his innocence of the charge brought by
Callahan, and surprise at the rash utter
aEces of the man. Powderly told repor-
ter to-day that he knows nothing Of the
present case but supposes it is renewal OF
the charge of conspiracy.

day to Mr.. Stanford, chairman of the
Senate committee on public buildings and
grounds, recommending an appropriation
by Congress of $4,000 for public build
ing and site at Salt Lake city Mr.. Win
drim stated that the government had no
building in Salt Lake and that one ought
to be Immediately erected in keeping with
the wealth, character and prominence of
the city. To The HERALD correspondent
later in the day Mr.. Windrim said: 81 do
not suppose suitable site can be selected
IN Salt Lake for less than 100000. This
would leave S40O, 900 for the building. With
this sum an excellent structure can be
erected; but the truth is the amount ought
to be much larger in order to accommodate
the various offices which it is proposed to
place under its roof. 1 hope, however, to
be able to do this, but in order to provide
the space it will be necessary to make it
three story building. l have no doubt
Congress will appropriate the money re
quested and that, too, as speedily as the
necessities of the case are presented to.

Andeyer Heresy Case.

Boston, Dec. ia large audience as
sembled in the judicial court room this
morning to hear the arguments in one of
the many issues of the celebrated Andover
heresy case. The evidence was all in on
the charge that Visieor Eustis, who sat i'll
Judgment on Professor Suyth, was biased
against him and had so expressed himself.
President Dwight, of Columbia college,
summed up for Smyth. He claimed that in
the Eustis case there was leaning toward
the side of the prosecution and an utter
want of decorum out of court.
A H. Wellman, for the visitors, said the
charges of bias on the part of DR.. Eustis
were not made until six weeks after the
latter's death, and not until a year and a
half after the trial of the professors. This
-ygas an inexcusable delay, which called for
severe criticism.
Barrows, in behalf of Smyth, confined
himself to the charge that Eustis had
\ formed and repeatedly expressed to divers
persons the opinion that the professors
were guilty of the things charged.
Commissioner Robinson reserved his de-
cisioR.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The World has OBJ
tanned from the treasurer of each state the
value Of property assessed for taxation.
The census Office in 1856 made a report of
inquiry into the proportion existing in each
state between the taxed property and the
actual worth which ranges between % per
, cent. in Illinois, and 6S per cent. in Wyo-
ming. The Worlds report shows an in
crease in taxable property of SC, 1868, 00O, 900,
and an increase in actual wealth of $751;
662, 900, 900 since 1880. The total wealth is
$61, 459, 0O0, 900, exclusive of public property,
and S3,093, 100000 property invested and
owned abroad. The wealth of the United
States now exceeds the total wealth of the
whole world at any time previous to the
middle of the eighteenth century, and the
amount invested abroad alone is equal to
the national wealth of Portugal and Den
mark The total wealth of only five ma
lions is equal to the mere increase of the
Uuited States in the past nine years.

year or so ago Thomas j. Cowie, passed
assistant paymaster in the navy, prepared
a bin for an increase of rank
aud pay of officers of the navy. 1t was
a very comprehensive bill; it contained no
feature of economy whatever. That bill
had not been introduced in the otner mouse,
but had been fitting around privately in
PRINT. In connection with that bill there
mas been a movement organized to secure
money from naval officers. That move
ment had taken the shape of certain
printed circulars, and one of these circu-
lars Chandler sent TO the clerks desk and
had read 1t was from Cowie and dated
December 2, 1889. 1t stated that John H.

attorney to take charge of and advocate the
passage of a bill framed by him for the re-
organizing and equalization of the pay and
personnel of the navy and it expressed the
hope that all officers would respond
promptly to the Thomas communication.
In connection with this circular one from
Thomas himself was sent to the clerks
