CHANCELLOR SNOW.
Tho Kansas University Fila the Vacant
I Chnlr-Other Appointments.

| NO AMuuU1 OnhNDruAty rum suO Nooahs
| Chalr-Other Appointments.
LAWRENCE, Kan, April 19.-Aiter q
three days session the regents Of the
Kansas State University have settled
the question OF who should be Chancel-
Tor OF the institution by electing Prof.
" II. Snow ut q salary Of $4,000 per an
aum-Sl, 200 less than they offered Rev.
Dr. Thwing. OF Minneapolis. MINI. The
reason for this reduction Is not known.
The selection Of Prof. Snow gives
universal satisfaction here, and un-
doubtedly the same feeling exists
throughout the State. In the present
state of affairs 1t is undoubtedly the
very best thing thot can be done for the
university. Prof Snow will honor the
institution in the Chancellor's chair as
he has honored the professorship of
natural history
For twenty-three years Prof. Snow has
occupied the chair OF natural science
and in this quarter OF o century's work
he has shown himself to be thorough,
conscientious and interchangeable worker.
Outside OF his regular duties he has
prepared catalogue OF over 600
species of the plants of Kansas, q
list OF Kansas birds Of over 800
species, q list OF animals Of the State, q
list OF the fishes of the State and list
OF the insects Of Kansas, Colorado and
New Mexico, and has collections OF
these in the university museum COM
prising 200, 600 specimens and over TO-
900 species. There is no other State in
the Union that contains such vast &C.
cumulation-the work of one man. The
entire museum collection is valued at
nearly 81, OOO,OO0
The regents after electing Prof. Snow
continued the good work by establish.
ing chair Of geology and electing S.
w. Willeston, of Yale College, gradu.
ate OF the Kansas Agricultural College
and formerly Kansas man, to preside
over it at salary of 81. 500 year.
A chair OF mental and moral science
was also created, but no one has yet
been chosen to fill it.
Prof. c. G. Dunlap was elected full
professor of English literature. Ger
trude Crotty was chosen assistant pro-
fessor in geology at salary Of $500 per
annum.
All the optional studies advised by
the professors were adopted and ordered
placed in the curriculum.

cIvIL.sERVIcE REFORM.

Report of n Special Committee OF Inquiry
rs to the Operations Of the Law.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-In a report
made to the executive committee Of the
National Civil-Service Reform League,
the special committee appointed to in
quire into the operation OF the reform
law details the investigation made
among members Of Congress as to the
distri button of patronage and says: ut
Is not an extravagant estimate to say
that more than one-third OF the entire
time of these Congressman (time which
should properly be devoted to their leg
islative duties) is consumed in the dis
tribution Of Offices"
The committee inquired into the ex-
tent to which this patronage interfered
with the proper performance OF legisla-
tive duties. 1t found that in the last
Congress little more than 10 per cent
Of the measures introduced passed both
houses. OF the 17,07S measures intro
duced, more than II, 900 never came out
OF committee and 1,40O Of those reported
never reached consideration.
The neglect Of public business here
shown. the committee thinks, is due to
tho spoils system. The committee COM
mends highly tie Lodge bill for the Sc
lection of fourth class postmasters by
examination.

Bar Association, which contains an adj

founded dissatisfaction with the condi-
ton of the law and with the administra-
ton in this State prevails widely. He
says there is deplorable uncertainty as
to what the law is, owing to the want of
harmony in the opinions Of the Justices
composing the Supreme Court and, added
to this condition of affairs, there is an
intolerable delay in obtaining justice in
the ordinary courts Of judicial procedure.
He declares that II the evils complained
Of are as serious as they are claimed 70
be, the only adequate remedy will be in
q thorough reorganization Of the system
by an amendment Of the Constitution.
