MONEY AND TO SPARE.
John Hopkins, University Has
Weathered the Financial Storm.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. 12.-In view Of the
reports which have recently been published
respecting the Johns Hopkins mi
versity, President Gilman authorizes
the statement that the uni
versity will begin It's new year on the LIST of
October with unimpaired efficiency. Neither
the salaries of the president nor these of the
professors have been cut, and several new
appointments have been made. The
indications point to the usual num-
Der of students, and the course
of instruction will be given as announced
in the programme. As to the finances of the
university, it is no secret that the income de-
rived from the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road was cut off some time ago,
but the accumulated income of former
outside of the railroad. The income from
tuition (Which amounted last year to nearly
100000 are available. After all this gener-
Gus persons subscribed the sum of S10S, 600
to be expended as an emergency fund dur
ing the next three years. A new
building, given by Eugene lowering
of Baltimore, is now going up. A lecture
ship in literature has been endowed by
gift of 5000 By the bequest of John W.
$500 volumes and is residuary legate5 of his
estate. estimated to be worth above 100000,
inclusive of the library. 1t is safe to say
that within six months the Johns Hopkins
university has received from the various
sources nearly 100000. and other gifts are
expected. The national character of the insti-
tuition is strong reason why its work should
receive important aid from q distance. 1t
will thus be seen that no consideration need
be given to alarming rumors, as the present
efficiency of the university is assured for the
next three years,

RAUSDELEs REASONING.
1t Brought Corporal Jawsmith to
His Senses.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The following
statement of the beginning and end of the
Tanner difficulty is official and thoroughly
verified in every respect. Before his depart
ure from Washington for his vacation
trip, Secretary Noble on several occa-
sions spoke to the president about
the course of Commissioner Tanner and his
clerks in the matter of rerating pensioners
and also in relation to unguarded remarks,
which the commissioner had made from time
to time. The president was inclined to de
fend Mr. Tanner and he did so several
at Elmira, Chautauqna and Milwaukee
which called forth strong protests from
prominent Republicans. Directly after the
Milwaukee incident Noble returned to this
before the president in a very posi-
tive manner and intlmated that he would re-
tire from the interior department If Mr..
Tanner was continued in office much longer.
On Tuesday Senator Hiscock, of New York,
who had been talking with the president
about the matter. and who had learned from
him that it was likely to come to climax.
authority of the president, however, and said
that the commissioner would better resign
his Office, as if he did not,.he would be re-
moved. From this interview grew the story,
which was confirmed by the commissioner
yesterday morning, that he had been asked for
his resignation. When Mr.. Tanner visited
the White House later he learned that the
president had not asked for his resignation.
and that Senator Hiscock had been acting on
his own responsibility Last evening about
o'clock Daniel Ransdell, marshal of the
District Of Columbia and particular friend
of the president, went to Mr.. Tanners
house. and in his private capacity,
as he explained to the commissioner,
suggested that Mr.. Tanner would better
relieve the president Of the difficulty in
which he found himself placed by resigning.
He told the commissioner that the president
had been his constant friend and that he
had shown it when he gave him the office to
which he was appointed. and afterward when
he defended his course. The commissioner
said that he appreciated this fact, but for
time he was quite firm in his determination
to force the president to choose between re-
moving him and leaving him in office. Shortly
before midnight, however, he gave in, and
agreed to write his resignation, and placed
it then and there in the hands of Mr.. Rams
dell. Commissioner Tanner may receive
some other Office at the hands of the admin
istration. None had been offered him at
O'Clock this afternoon. The tone of the
presidents letter of acceptance is generally
conside red not at all cordial. and it is COM
monty interpreted as unfavorable to Mr..
Tanners chances of being appointed to an
other office

THE FAIR BOOMS.

Yesterday was a red letter day for the
State Fair association, and assured the
financial success of the enterprise for
this season. Seldom, if ever, has there
been such a crowd in attendance at the
State Fair grounds, and we question
whether there has ever been a more
agreeably entertained crowd. The new
departure of the State Fair manage
ment in filling in the interim between
the races with a variety of sports, merits
special mention. As a rule, the time
between the heats hangs very heavily
on the hands of race course audience.
especially that part Of it who do not
patronize the pools. 1t was happy
thought on the part of President BUSH
NELL to occupy this time with a
series of entertainments which are
equally as interesting as the races them
selves. Then there is another improve
ment which adds to the comfort of visit
Ors to the Fair grounds. We refer to
the arrangement for letting the crowd
out of the depot without the rush and
lam which has been the terror of visit
ors to all former Fairs, Now the great
crowds get in and out with no more in
convenience than is experienced at the
union depot The railroads are doing
excellent work in handling the great
crowds. The weather continues to be
of the made-tO-Order kind. The pro-
grammeS for to-day and tomorrow are
exceptionally attractive, and there is no
reason why the State Fair season should
not close in a blaze of glory.

SECRETARY RUSK.

Head Farmer RUsK, who bosses the
national agricultural department,
dropped in ON the Minnesota State Fair
yesterday, and got some valuable point
ers for his department. President HAIR
RIsON made no mistake when he put
Uncle JERRY at the head of this depart
ment. He is by all odds the biggest
man in the cabinet. There is no jingO-
ism about him, but he has executive
ability and the genuine Western go
aheadativeness, and is honest, and will
attend to his work of asserting garden
Deeds without meddling or interfering
NTH other peoples affairs. He doesn't
make as much buster as some of the
other cabinet officers, yet the president
feels that he can tie to Uncle JERRY in
any emergency. Secretary RUsK re-
ceived a most cordial reception from the
Minnesota farmers yesterday. Our peO-
pie appreciate his personal worth, and
are ALWAYS glad of the opportunity to
give him a hearty hand-shake. Come
again, Uncle JERRY.

TIDE WATERS RUNNING OFF.
Comparatively Little Damage
Done at Cane MAY

CAPE MAY, N. j., Sept. 1.-THE storm is
abating to-day, and tide waters are running
off the meadows through breaches where the
heavy breakers cut passages. Not for thirty
years has storm of such magnitude visited
these shores. The damage in and about
Cape May to improved property has been
comp arativeIy small. From the steamboat
landing which was swept away on the Della
ware to Sewalfs point, it is estimated
to be S150,00O. On unimproved land
the beaches have suffered severely
from the invasion Of the sea. Specu-
latiYe interest in seashore property must sus-
tain a setback. James Y. Clark and wife,
reported lost turned up to-day. They took
refuge when the yacht May was beached in
Sewalls point house. All day transfer
trucks have been busy getting cottagers from
Stockton, Columbia and Beach avenues as
they fear another storm The Mount Vernon
company has sustained the severest loss.
The breastwork in front of the settlement is
badly wrecked. Back of it the meadows have
been covered with the tides till they seem
part of the ocean. Holly beach may be seen
through the mist to-day, but no communica-
ton is established. 1t has suffered severely.

EOUINOCTIAL STORMS.

The people who have been over the
water to see the sights are now rushing
home to avoid the equinOctial Storm.
and probably some OF them may have
had lively experience with the unusual
elementary and aqueous riot the other
day. The scientists and people who
know the laws and methods of nature,
now insist that the notion that there
must be a storm when the sun crosses
the equator, is one of the superstitiOns
that has no basis in any real order, in
tention or necessity. They would remit
it to the receptacle of exploded notions.
1t is conceded that September is apt to
have stormy periods, but the date of the
equinox is not specially likely to be
stormy. But the people will go on be-
lieving that there is big storm attached
to the autumnal equinox, even if it gets
out of place a little at times.

WINoNA, Mimi, Sept. 12.-The Winona &

decided TO save about $4,000 interest and
postpone the construction through TO Omaha

THE 500 CUTS DEEPLY,
And Wipes Out the Rate Between Herr
and Chicago.
WAR IS IMMINENT,
The Manitoba Annual Meeting In Prog
ress-Its Financial State
ment.

The failure Of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION at Chicago yesterday to take action
leaves the Chicago passenger rate situation
practically withouta bottom. The next few
days may develop a war east from St.
Paul that has never been eQualed. The
500 company is the last actor in the
fight and came to the front yesterday, not
only to meet the Duluth, South Shore & At
Iantic but to promulgate rate that cut as
deeply as unexpectedly. 1t was believed the
Soc would make cut, but no one was pre-
pared for the rate of $50 to New York
and $40 to Boston, which entirely
obliterates the rate between St. Paul
and Chicago. This New York
bate is the Chicsgo-New York differential,
and the effect on Chicago will be demoraliz-
ing in the extreme, and afford abundant
room for strategic proceedings Of the West
ern Passenger association. Local passenger
agents were almost bewildered by the Soos
cut, and few were willing even to speculate
on the course of competing lines, though
opinion was general that the 500
had gone too far. General Passenger Agent
Hubbard, OF the South Shore, went to Duluth
yesterday, saving before his departure that
while he believed his company would meet
the cut he could not say positively Develop
ments of the situation are anxiously looked
for, and it is the general belief that an I'M
usual rate war will be precipitated.

and ignorance and political debauchery
had been relegated to the rear, that the
resurrection was inaugurated. Capital
did not flow South, while the adven-
turers and their dark-hued and ignorant
servitors were running the political ma
chimes. Figures recently compiled show
in twelve Southern states gain of 70
per cent in valuation in the past ten
years. In the same time the state debts
have been reduced s35,OO0,OO0. and taxes
are considerably less. Texas shows the
maximum increase of prosperity, 125
per cent, and it has the largest proper
ton of Democrats. Virginia gives more
Republican votes than any other
Southern state, and its increase in
wealth is but 81 per cent. while the av-
erage for the whole South is 63 per cent.
Republican rule can claim few benefi-
cent fruits in the South,

Important Ejectment Suit.

Special 10 Tue GIODe-
DULUTH, Sept. 1Z.-This morning Arthur C.
Ely, son-in-law OF H. Fl. Porte, Milwaukee
millionaire, began an ejectuent suit against
the St Paul & Duluth railroad, to remove
them from the property they have leased to
the Northwestern Fuel company for dock
purposes. Harry j. Horn, of St. Paul, is one
of the attorneys for the plaintiff. This prop
erty is worth S200,0 and the case involves
the old riparian rights question, that sub
merged land. in part. or any part of the shore
line, goes with the shore line. The supreme
court has recently held that deeds given in
sale of any shore line property did not effect
a separation of shore and submerged land,
but the court has also allowed a new hearing
in the matter. 1t is not probable that deci-
it will be Immediately appealed to the SUI
preme court.

He afterwards told Averington the ore was
worthless, but the latter has interested a

excitement exists, and prospectors swarm
