The University Prosperous.

Special to the Globe
VERNnLLIoN, S. D., May 14.-Judge
Edgerton, president of the board of
regents, arrived here last night from
Sioux Falls and stayed till noon to-day.
While here he called together handful
OF such citizens as would fairly repre-
sent all factions and principles pertain
Ing. to the university. He told them
that he called them together for con-
sultation, not because they had more to
say about the university government
than those OF other parts of the state,
but because, being on the grounds, they
could see and know things which those
more distant could not, and that it was
the desire of the board to make thor
ough investigation of all matters re-
garding the university. The result of
the meeting and most of the matters
discussed are kept strictly secret, but
one decision was so unanimous that it
leaked out, that the school was fast re-
gaining its Old-time prosperity under S.
e. Updyke as acting president.

and asking to be reinstated. Others
counsel holding out and resort to
violence if necessary. There is
rumor to the effect that the

a general strike on the st. Paul,

wheel is turning. Green Bay freight is
therefore tied up. Work at Escanaba,
Winona, Baraboo and other points Is
proceeding quietly with new men. The
company is supported in its position by
the conductors fremen's and brake
mems unions. In fact at the time of
the McInerney trouble, deputation
from these unions called ON the Off
Gals of the road and demanded McIn-
erneY's reinstatement, promising that,
If the switchmen should strike in con-
sequence, they would furnish men to
fill their places. The switchmen's
union is not included in the National
Federation of Railroad Employees. This
afternoon the Northwestern officials de-
clded not to run out any freight trains
nor do any freight business after 6
O'Clock p. m. each day for the present.
The reason given is that the men hay
ing been paid off to-day, are drinking
and growing belligerent and that trou-
bic may ensue if night work were at
tempted.
Secretary Hall, of the Switchmen's
Mutual Aid association, said this after
noon: I'VE have received no official
confirmation fiom the Brotherhood of
Trainmen that their older is supporting
the railroad company in this matter. 1t

switchmen are being filled by
men, but we are inclined to
believe it is an individual
act. and not the wish OF the order. The
trainmen support themselves in their
action by claiming that there is no
strike, but that they are merely filling
the places of discharged men. We have
telegraphed the headquarters Of the
trainmen at Galesburg to ascertain the
exact condition of affairs with the lodge
as whole. We have received no re-
ply as yet and cannot tell what the
result will be. We have also tele-
graphed the supreme council to come
to Chicago and assume entire charge of
affairs. The supreme council is COM
posed of the three highest Of
flcers in the switchmen's, con-
ductors'. trainmen and firemen's
orders, and the council dis expected to
arrive tomorrow or as soon as possible"
Secretary Hall received a message to-
night from President Sargent. of the
supreme council of the United Order of
Railway Employees, saying that the
supreme council would be here Satur-
day. Continuing, he said: "There is
no likelihood at present of the switch
men Of other roads being called out"

A HOPEFUL TONE
Prevails in Reports to Jerry
Rusk's Department.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-the report
of the statistician of the department of
agriculture, now In press, shows an in
crease since April of last year of more
than 100 per cent in the price of corn
and oats, 90 per cent and more in wheat
in primitive markets, 50 per cent in
Chicago for choice beeves, and 81 for
Texans, ana advanced values of all ce-
reals and meats. A hopeful and cheer
full feeling is noticed, says the report, in
official correspondence from all parts of
the country. The elimination of the
surplus of corn and oats, through the
under-production of last year. insures
good prices for those crops, and the
shortage of the wheat of the world for
two years, with the low foreign pros
pect for the growing crop, promises the
largest foreign demand for ten years at
remunerative prices. Fortunately pres
ent appearances indicate ability to meet
such demand with ease. The opinion is
expressed that farm lands at present
prices are promising investments.

DIPLOMATIC FACTIONS
Are Building a Foundation for a
High Old Time,

WASHINGTON, May 14.-There is
trouble in the diplomatic corps. The
EuropeanS-to use a distinguishing
term-have boycotted the Central and
South Americans. and no end of ill-feel-
ing has resulted from it. For years the
entente cOrdiale between the two fac
tions has been severely strained. The
Europeans affect to regard the repre-.
sentatives of the Latin-American re-
publics as uncultured and socially in
feriOr to them. The Latin-Americans,
on the other hand, insist that the Eu-
ropeans are jealous of the favors
shown them by the people of the
United States, and that this, and
this alone, is the real cause of the diff
Guilty. This was the situation whsn the
Pan-American congress assembled.
eighteen months ago. The purpose of
the congress was to strengthen the rela-
tion of the several republics to each
other and bring them into a close COM
mercial and fraternal intimacy. The
great states of Europe, which are inter-
eSted in the rich trade of those couu-
tries, followed the sessions of the con-
gresS with deep interest, and when it
was seen how strongly marked the
preference of the South Americans was
for the United States, the diplomatic
representatives of Europe retaliated by
organizing a social boycott against
them. This, you must under
stand, is the story the South
Americans tell. They will tell you also.
if they feel they can talk with you con-
fidentially. numerous instances which
illustrate the truth of this statement.
Quite recently, for example, the Ger
man minister gave a banquet to cele-
to hictl !, rSh A fha q
the diplomatic corps were invited, with
the exception of the representatives
from the Latin-American states. On
another occasion the secretary of a
great continental power met the secre-
tary of certain South American lega-
ton. With some embarrassment he
informed the latter of his personal
regard for him, but begged, as a favor.
that their future intercourse be
limited to strict observance of
polite conyentionalities and moth
ing more. He frankly added that the
prejudices of his European confreres
against the Latin-Americans was so
great that he dared not run counter to
it, notwithstanding he did not share i'm
these prejudices himself. And so mat
each succeeding day, until a personal
encounter between the hot-blooded
young men of the respective factions is
quite fprobable. In fact, some of the
South Americans feel so keenly the
slight that has been put upon them that
several of the number are talking of
forcing duel upon the Europeans as
the only means of vindicating their
honor. Whether they will do so or not
is an open question. They are certainly
angry enough to proceed to any ex-
treme.

THE INGERSOLL LECTURE.
a Brilliant Audience Hears the
Great IcOnoclast.


1t is interesting to observe the entire
~ eXplicable curiosity in all classes and
ranks of people to hear the famous and
eloquent agnostic. Col. Robert &. Inger-
soil. Few people are insensible to the
power of eloquence, and that gift Col.
IngerSoll enjoys to rare degree. He
reached St.Paul yesterday afternoon, and
took quarters at the Aberdeen, where he

eral interviews were attempted. AS an

quantity. The interviewer must hand
IN his questions in writing and the col
onel writes out his answers, thus insur-

quotation. In appearance the great

others happy has changed little in the

same as in Minneapolis, where he was
fully reported by the GLOBE. 1t is a
magnificent lecture, but marred some
Wnat by The TACT that he has not deliV-
cred it enough to have it fully COM
mitted, and in bending over the manu-
script lowered his voice to pitch that

grand. He left the manuscript,
and coming to the front of
the stage poured. forth that wonderful
tribute to the genius of Shakespeare
The house was still as death as those
glorious, burning sentences poured
forth, and when the perorati0n was
brought to brilliant finish, there was q
thunderburst of applause, in the midst
of which the orator bowed himself out.
The audience was representative
one, including many prominent mem
bers of the clergy. The latter could not
have regretted their presence, as there
was nothing said to offend their re-
ligious views.
