President Davis Promised His Entire At
tention, but has Failed to Keen it.
BERKELEY, March 15:h-Much dissatis-
faction is felt in university circles at the
failure Of the Hon. Horace Davis, Presi-
dent of the University, to reside at Berke-
ley.
During the campaign preceding the Sc
lection OF President, if the discussion as
to the choice may be termed campaign,
Mr. Davis, it is said, made promises of res
ideDce at Berkeley. Immediately after
his election ne purchased house near the
University, end il was given out among
his friends every where, that he would re-
move his family and become permanent
resident within the very atmosphere of the
University itself. To this, it is alleged,
Mrs. Davis objected. However that msy
be, it is true that Mr.. DAVIS resides in San
Francisco, as co n reat many of the Pro-
fessors of the University or at least as they
have done n times past.
1t is alleged, and believed by members
of the Regency, that President Davis, pres
ence at Berkeley is necessary to proper
discipline OF the University, and that such
presence would greatly promote his eff
cheney as President. He reaches the Uni
versity buildings some time in the morn
ing, leaving some time in the afternoon,
spending at least a portion of every after
noon giving attention TO his private bust
ness in the Golden Gate Mills. Thus he is
running the University and attending to
the affairs OF Large private business in San
Francisco.
Members of the Regency declare that
unless Mr. Davis will give up his private
business AID devote himself wholly to the
administration of the duties of his Office
his removal will follow inevitably.

DAMAGING EPISTLE,
Ii You Would Be Safe Write no Letters
and Burn All You Get.


ST. PETERSBURG, March 15th.-Accordiny
to the story which is now going about here,
the quassi disgrace of NJ. Pobedonestzeff
the all-powerful procurator OF the HOLY
Synod, is not due to the Cars disproyaI of
the horrible religious prosecutions which
have disgraced Russia under the rule of
this Draconian minister who is as ruth
lessly intolersnt as Phillip IL or Louis ".
1t seems that about thirty years ago,
shortly after Pobedonestzeff had been ap-
pointed by the late Emperor to be tutor to
his two eldest sons, the Czarewitch Nicho-
las, who died at Nice in 1865, and the pres
ent Gar, he wrote private letter to Admi-
raj Schistakotf, in which he warmly praised
his pupil Nicholas, but described the
younger brother as "a sullen, stupid. apa-
thetic log, without the slightest promise of
ever becoming anything better"
The Admiral was one of the most init.
mate friends of Pobedonestzeff, whose in
fiuence obtained his appointment as Minis
ter of Marine, but when he died about a
year ago, his papers were sealed I'D, and
they have only been recently opened by
the Grand Duke Alexis, the Lord High
Admiral of Russia, wEo found the above
compromising letter, which he at once for
warded to his brother, the Emperor, for he
had private reasons for detesting Pobedon-
es'zttt. As he probably calculated would
be the case, his Majesty was astounded and
enraged, and the obnoxious Minister is
now sailing in the north wind of imperial
favor.

gerheads-Sharp Practice.
ST. PAUL (Minn.), March 15th.-The two
houses of the North Dakota Legislature are
not acting exactly in harmony with each
other. In fact, it is quite otherwise, and
the whole matter seems TO be an outgrowth
of the lottery fight. The Senate now
seems to be looking mainly for revenge,
its action being directed largely toward the
House.
The Senate wants the House to consider
some of the many Senate bills now on the
table, and the House refuses 10 do it, on
the ground that each branch eau consider
nothing else but the bills of the other DUR
ing the last two days of the session, and
that will be time enough to dispose of
them. The Senate meanwhile will con-
slider no House bill, or will take them up
only to kill them.
The bill redistrictipg the State for legis-
lative purposes was passed to-day by the
Senate, with rather notable change-in
fact, with put one change. This is in
Grand Forks county, which is changed so
as TO put Senator Winship's residence in
the Democratic district now represented by
Mr.. Mccormack.
Mr.. Winship was the leader in the sue
cessful fight against the lottery, and is said
TO have refused $4,000 bride for his vote
1t is supposed the change is for punish
meGt.

ARKANSAS CITY, March 15th.-Nearly
every quarter section of land for eighteen
miles south of this city, is at present staked

would arrive this afternoon caused some
uneasiness, but as the hours rolled by

of security prevailed.
