BLACK STUDENTS RULED OUT.
The Maryland Law School Closes Its
Doors Against Them


BALTIMORE, Sept. 1.-THE Maryland
init no more colored students. Last year
two colored students, named Cummins
and johnson, the first who ever attended
lectures there, were graduated with
high houors. After their graduation two
more colored students. w. Ashbie Hawkins
aud John i. Dozier, applied for admission
and were received They have been at the
university one year and have been notified
by John P. Poe, on the part Of the regents,
that they cannot return.
OBJECTION BY THE WHITES.
The white students of the law, medical
and dental departments of the university
sent a petition to the faculty protesting
against the admission Of any colored stu
dents to the law school. Mr.. Poe says that
some time last winter petition against the
admission or retention of colored students
was lald before the faculty signed by
nearly all OF the ninety-nine students.
ACTED ON BY THE REGENTS.
The matter has been continuously agi-
tated since that time, and this summer the
regents, into whose hands the question was
left for adjudication, had held several
meetings and considered it very carefully
in all its bearings. They had finally re-
solved that it would be unwise to endanger
the school or jeopardize its interests in any
way by any longer allowing colored stu
dents to attend the school in the face of
such manifest opposition. A number of
students had left the school, and others had
refused to enter because of the presence of
the two colored men, and the school was
continually liable to those losses so long as
that state of affairs lasted.
Tur Currr COucTDru TYoN
That was the chief consideration in
huencing the action of the regents, and in
view of their exceedingly low record they
did not feel it incumbent upon them to
force an issue on their account. Hawkins
is the principal of the public school at
Towson. Dozier win go to Howard univer-
sity in Washington. Hawkins states that
the action of the faculty practically shuts
him out of all possibility of entering the
legal profession. He is SO placed, being a
married man, that he cannot leave b is
present position to study elsewhere.

ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 14-C. P. johnson,
q saloon-keeper and member of the EN-
met club, was arrested to-day on a charge
of keeping open tippling house on the
Sabbath. The rooms of the club were
raidei by the police and Johnson's
bar-keeper was found with his apron on be-
hind the counter, and in the cash drawer
was $50 taken in to-day. The members of
the club have been calling for beer, whisky
and cigars whenever they wanted it and
paying for it, the money being used
to pay expenses and to bury dead members.
They claim that they have the right
to do this under their char
ter, but the police officers
think it is violation of the law, and so Re-
corder Kontz has always held. There IA
some talk of investigating AtIanta's swell
Capital City club and others, as the officers
say they have been in the habit Of doing
what the members Of the Emmett Club have
done.

Senator Aldrich Explains the Action of
the Senats Committee.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Senator Aldrich
said to an Associated Press reporter to-
night: There seems to be some misappre-
hension in regard to the purpose and effect
of the Senate amendment to section 81 of
the tariff bill This section, as it passed
the House, provided that all imported mer-
chandise in bonded warehouses at the time
the bill went into effect should be dutiable
at the new rates.
WOULD HAVE PREVENTED WITHDRAWAL.
"If the Senate had adopted this section no
extension of time for the withdrawal of
goods In bond at the old rates would have
been possible. In order that the matter
might be open for conference an amendment
was offered that afforded opportunity for
future consideration. This amendment was
not intended in any sense to be finally ex-
pressive of the Judgment of the Senate
committee"

CRESsoN SPRINGS, Pa, Sept l4.-Presi-
dent Harrison and family passed Sunday as
usual to-day. In the morning they at
tended divine services in the parlor of the
Mountain house. Rev. Fred c. Cowper
of the Protestant Episcopal church at Wash
ington, Pa. officiated, and preached a short
sermon. Miss Jeanette Halford, daughter
of private secretary Halford, sang Handel's
"Hope in the Lord" with good effect. A
collection was taken up for uhe benefit of
deaf mutes generally, and the President was
a liberal contributor.
WALK IN THE AFTERNOON.
In the afternoon the President and Mrs.
Dimmick took long walk over the noun
tains. There has been a decided fall in the
temperature here during the past twenty
four hours, and to-day log fires are burning
brightly In the hotel and all the cottages,
including the one occupied by the chief ex-
ecutive.
TO LEAVE SATURDAY.
While the President will not admit that
such is his intention, it is regarded here as
practically settled that he will return to
Washington Saturday. The season ends
that day with the closing Of the Mountain
house. So if the President remains longer,
he will find the place decidedly lonesome, to
say nothing Of the difficulty of procuring
meals at the country inns, the nearest of
which is over a mile from his cottage,
which has scarcely any convenience for
cooking.
During the coming week the President
and his family will visit Johnstown, Bells
Gap, Rhododendon park and one or two
other points Of interest in this vicinity. On
these trips they will be the guests Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, with
George w. Boyd, assistant general passen-
ger agent, as its representative.

In the House.

The opposition shown by the minority in
the House to the consideration of the
Langston- enable election case had the effect
the more strongly to determine the repub-
lican leaders that the House shall act upon
that case, as well as upon the Miller-Elliott
case. 1t has been urged upon the absent
republican members that the party could
hardly afford to abandon the col
ored republican :. contestants, after
seating a number of white repub-
lican members. A large number
OF kilograms have been sent to the absentees
requesting their attendance here, and if a
quorum is obtained by Monday or Tuesday
1t is the intention to dispose of the two cleo
tlon cases without argument beyond the
forty minutes talk allowed by the rules in
each case after the previous question has
been ordered.
THE TARIFF BILL.
After that will follow the tariff bill. AL
ready Chairman Mckinley has prepared a
way for speedy action upon the bill by this
resolution, indorsed by last nights caucus,
providing for a suspension of The ordinary
rules and conderation of the bill by the
House itself instead of in committee of the
whole. The time to be allowed for consider
alton was left blank in the resolution. to be
filled in by the committee on rules. 1t is
the impression that not more than two or
three days at the most will be 80 consumed,
and that if quorum is in attendance the
tariff bill will go to conference before the
end Of the present week.

THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
The Senate TO Follow Out the Caucus
Programme.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-lt is expected
that Senator Sanders will conclude his
speech upon the conference report on the
land grant forfeiture bill tomorrow, and
that the report viii then be agreed to.
II it is then not too late in the day, Mr..
Sawyer will call up the antilottery bill,
which has already passed the House.
Otherwise. he will ask the Senate to dispose
of the private pension bills on the calendar,
postponing the anti-lottery bill until Tues
day. So far as is known there will be no
open opposition made TO the passage of
this bill Mr.. Gibson of Louisiana will
speak in its favor, and if any opposition
develops on the floor Mr.. Spooner and Mr..
Casey. the latter Of North Dakota, will
support the measure. But it is Mr.. Saw
yer's hope that Mr.. Gibson's speech yA be
the only one delivered.
THE NEXT IN ORDER.
Following the anti-lottery bill on the
order Of business adopted by the republican
caucus are the bills to repeal the timber
culture act, to establish private land courts
for the relief of the supreme court, and the
labor bills. IL is hardly probable that all
these will be disposed of this week; but.
should it prove 30 be the case, rapid pro
gress will be checked when the bill to
transfer the revenue marine service from
the treasury to the navy depart
ment, the next on the programme,
is reached. This bill has been discussed
a number of times during the session, but
the opposition always prevented vote So
far as known the opponents of the measure
are still equally determined that it shall not
pass, and, as they include some of the best
tacticians on both sides of the Senate, a
long debate may be anticipated. An hour
every day, under the order adopted by the
Senate last week, will be devoted to the
consideration Of bills on the calendar to
which no objection is made.
