ONE MORE MILLION.
Chicago University Born Under
a Lucky Star.
ROCKEFELLER COMES DOWN AGAIN

A Million Dillars Added to His Already
Large Donations, the Income To Be
Used for Compensation for Instruction
His Total Gifts Amount to the AgGre-
gate of So, goo, Observation-Disclosures of
Chicago Citizens Reach S1,5OO,OOO-
The City To BE Asked to Subscribe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-One million dollars is
the substantial Christmas present that the
University of Chicago received from John
ID. Rockefeller Monday There was uni
versal Joy and mutual congratulations at
the monthly meeting of the board of trus-
tees yesterday when a letter was read from
Mr.. Rockefeller in which he said he would
give to the university $1,000, 600 in 5 per
cent. bonds, principal and interest payable
in gold, the principal to remain forever as
an endowment, the interest to be used for
compensation Of instructors, he reserying
the right to name the instruction to which
the income shall be applied. He Will deliver
the bonds Dec. ., 1898
They Took it Joyfully.
1t Is needless to say that the board &C
cepted the handsome Offering with thanks.
This is Mr.. Rockefeller's fourth great sub
scription to the university and raises the
total amount of his donation TO $1,000, coo.
The first was made in May, 1889, for the
purpose of founding an institution of
learning in Chicago. The amount was
S6UO,oN. The second was in Septembet
1890, for the purpose of charging the scope
of the institution. The amount of this
subscription was 81 100000 The third was
made in February of the present year for
the further endowment of the university.
and the terms of the subscription were
1850 per cent. bonds of the par value of
$1,000 each" The fourth is of the same
amount as the third and in similar interest
bearing securities.
Chicago Has Been Liberal, Too.
Mr.. Rockefeller has evidently felt that if
he manifested liberal interest in ASSURING
large endowments to the university the
citizens of Chicago would show ike
liberal interest in providing its external
material equipments. Citizens of Chicago
have, during the piesent year, made con-
trbutions and subscriptions to the funds
OF the university aggregating about Il .5o0,-
600. This latest gift Of Mr. Rockefeller
makes the endowment fund of the univer-
sity over "A, 300, 600, the odd $500, 900 belong
ing TO the divinity school This when all
paid in would give an income of 500, goo a
year for instruction.
The City TO Ee Called Upon
The trustees will at once call on the CITY
TO respond 10 Mr.. Rockefeller's gift with a
contribution of 100000 for equipment
Every increases in endowment funds makes
an increase in material facilities for work
lmperatively necessary and the university
will now ask Chicago to give it 100000 for
books, SiaeoJ for improving the grounds,
$4,000 for apparatus and furniture and
other equipment and $3.50, 600 for buildings.
These are the present imperative needs Of
the university.

Explosion.
DUBLIN Dec 29-James Stephens. the
former head center of the Fenian Brother
hood, and who has shown q decided lean-
ing toward the Parnellites since permitted
to take up his abode again in Ireland. has
been interviewed in regard to the explosion
which killed Detective Synnott Steph-
ems warmly denounced the authors of tie
explosion as enemies of Ireland He said
that the suggestion that Fenians were CON
cerned in the outrage was an insult offered
by the supporters of the so-called home
rule movement. The Fenians, Stephens
said, were incapable of such cowardly
work
Police Don't Agree with Stephens.
The government is apparently acting
upon the theory that the explosion was the
result of conspiracy, and the police are
making active inquiries as to the recent
course of the physical force faction, to
whose operations but little attention has
lately been paid. So far as james Stephens
is concerned no suspicion exists that he has
anything now to do with plots or conspira-
Cies, but is intimated that some of the
younger advocates of physical force have
been very busy of late. The anti-Parnellites
are throwing suspicion on Parnellites. and
the latter are "hurling back the base in
ginuationS "
