Next fall women who have taken a
collegiate course can enter the post
graduate course at Yale. 1t is not CO.
educational in the general sense, and
does not involve that idea. The under
graduate courses will remain eXclu-
sively for young men. But it is offering
to young women the advantages OF the
higher education which the colleges for
women have not the facilities to give.
The John Hopkins university has

A letter From the Chinese Minister

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The letter
from Mr.. Tsui Kwo Yin, Chinese minis
ter, to Secretary Blaine, referred to in
these dispatches several days ago, has
been received at the state department.
Mr.. Tsui Kwo Yin asks for an answer
to several communications addressed to
this government by the representatives
of China in the past few years upon tie
subject of Chinese immigration to the
United States, which it is asserted have
not been satisfactorily answered. 1t is
understood that owing to the legal
questions involved, the letter will be re-
ferred to the encouragement for exam
ination and report to the state depart
ment upon the legal points, before the
answer goes from the secretary of state
to the Chinese minister.

HE ALLIANCE.
The Congressional Members Have Framed
Financial Bill.

The Congressional Members Have Framed
Financial Bill.
WASHINGTON, April Am important
conference of the Farmers Alliance
! members of the house was held here
Thursday night. The conference con-
sidered the financial situation including
the matter of silver legislation. After
some discussion bill prepared by Rep
resentative Livingston, of Georgia, with
some modification, was adopted unani-
mously and will be introduced in the
house at the first opportunity. The bill
provides as follows:
The secretary of the treasury is au-
thorized and directed upon the demand
of any state expressed through its gov
ernor to issue to its full legal tender
notes of the government of like denOm-
nations as the treasury notes now is
sued and in circulation and non-interest
bearing. These notes are not TO exceed
in amount $50 per capita of the pOpula-
ton of the state as expressed in the CEN
sus preceding the demand.
The state making demand for the
notes is to deliver to the secretary of
the treasury its lawful bonds TO the
full amount of government notes de-
manded and such bonds are to be tax
able at one per cent. per annum, said
tax to be covered into the United States
on or before April of each year.
The bonds are to fall due at the ex-
piration of twenty years. 1t is provided,
however, that the state taking advant-
age of the act shall have the right to
turn over TO the secretary of the treas
ury the full amount or any part thereof
of government notes issued to it at any
time before the bonds fall due or in lieu
of the government bonds the state
may redeem that bond with lawful
money and when such notes are thus
paid into the treasury they are to
be destroyed. Each state. through its
legislative department. is to provide for
the distribution of the government
notes paid upon securities furnished by
it on such terms as the legislature may
deem best for the welfare of the inhab-
itants.
There were but between twenty-five
and thirty members of the house pres
ent and Mr.. Livingston says there are a
number of other members who will sup
port the measure.

BURNED AT THE WHARF.
Destruction of the steamer Golden Rule at
Cincinnati One Passenger Lost.

Destruction of the Steamer Golden Rule at
Cincinnati One Passenger Lost.
CINCINNATI, April Shortly after
o'clock yesterday afternoon, as the
steamer Golden Rule was about leaving
the big wharf boat at the public land
ing just above the main street and while
her passengers were saying good-by to
friends, there was sudden burst of
der the stairway at the front of the boat,
and in moment the widest panic
seized passengers, friends, officers, roust-
abouts and all.
Lying alongside the stern of the
Golden Rule was the Keystone State,
next to the wharf boat. To her the
passengers ran and clambered onto her
upper deck. Some sprang to a fuel
barge, but the fire was SO fierce and
sudden that the keystone State was
compelled TO back into the river. Then
some brave, thoughtful men from the
shore caught the stern of the Golden
Rule and drew it into the wharf boat
and thus gave means of escape to the
few that had not got away otherwise.
But one unfortunate passenger, Miss
Nellie Maloney, who had been visiting
friends in Cincinnati, made a rash at
tempt to jump too soon and fell be-
tween the boat and barge. She was lost.
The great wharf boat also burned.
The Golden Rule, Capt. o. p. Shinkle,
was worth from $50, 900 to $4,000. She
had fine cargo estimated at $4,000.
Everything was burned in less than an
hour. The hull fioated 200 feet and
sank. The wharf boat was filed with
merchandise, the value of which could
only be guessed at. All the books of
the Office were lost.
The fire, when it once started, spread
so swiftly that men with teams in the
great wharf boat, were compelled to
unhitch their horses and hurry out,
leaving their wagons to be destroyed by
the devouring flames.

A LYNCHiNG IN OHIO.
The Victim Had Crushed the Skulls of His
Wife and Two Daughters.

FINDLAY, o., April Joseph Little,
veteran from the soldiers home at
Dayton, crushed the skulls of his wife
and two daughters with Ratchet, yes
terday. and last night was lynched by a
mob of 1000 men. The rope was cut by
bullet the first time and the wretch
was dragged 200 feet and again hanged.
Little secured leave of absence from
the home and returned to his wife and
family. Yesterday morning he secured
Ratchet and, without warning, struck
his daughter Belle with the head of the
Ratchet, crushing her skull. Then he
struck at his daughter Emma, but she
lodged and was not badly wounded.
The wretch rushed at his wife and
the two engaged in a mad struggle.
Blow after blow was aimed and warded
off. Six times was her head struck but
the blows were lessened by her strug-
giles. One finger of the right hand was
cut off. When the woman was ex-
hausted the fiend crushed her skull.
The victims are still alive, but the
death of Mrs. Little and one daughter
are hourly expected.

THE INITIAL CYCLONE.
It Strikes Nelson. Neb., With Terrible Force
The Town Nearly Wiped Out-Many


Narrow Escapes.
NELSON, Neb., April IA terrible
cyclone struck Nelson at 6:15 p. m. yes
terday. 1t came from the southwest
and could be seen for at least ten miles
before it struck the town.
1t was preceded by terrific hail
storm, lasting several minutes, after
which the worst was thought to be
over, but this hope was soon blasted by
the appearance in the southwest of the
coming storm. which proved to be the
wost and most destructive that ever
visited this section of Nebraska.
The storm struck the town with ter
rible force. Many rushed into cellars
and stores for safety. The damage has
been estimated at 100000.
The Firt National bank was unroofed.
The opera block, three stories high, was
unroofed and badly damaged.
The Union bank was unroofed and
the southwest end torn out. The Ar
lington hotel was unroofed.
The new school house which was
completed at the beginning Of the year
at cost of $4,000 was almost de-
stroyed. The Presbyterian church was
badly wrecked and large number of
residences was completely wrecked,
among which were those of Miss Mary
Braylnan, DIR. j. p Burlington, j. NJ.
Gainmil, John Eaton, Henry Pope, i'll.
H. Williams, d. /. McHenry, w. l. Tenn
pleton, T. a. Cole, l. Il. Foster, Robert
Greenwood and Thomas Nichols.
These buildings were completely de-
stroyed, there being nothing left to
show where they stood excepting the
cellars and foundations.
One-half of one house, that of Henry
Pope, was carried along in the track of
the storm nearly an eighth of mile
with the contents and Mrs. Pope and
two children. Fortunately, however,
the family escaped uninjured.
Miss Mary Brayman, assistant prin-
cipal of the Nelson high school, was Sc
riously hurt. AS the storm was APP
preaching she took refuge in the cellar
of her house and thinking the worst
was over she came up and before she
could get back the storm completely de-
molished her house, breaking her leg
and several ribs.
Edgar, in Clay county, is also said to
be damaged. The depot was blown
down and two men killed. Wires are
down and it is impossible to get any
thing from that section. The storm
evidently travelled in northerly direc-
ton. Specials from Wahoo and Nor
folk tell of storm of unusual severity
there, number of houses being blown
down but no serious damage resulting.

Remarkable March Weather.

LAWRENCE, Kan. April 2.-Chancellor
Snow, of the state university, has issued
his weather report for March. He says:
March was remarkable for many
meteorological excuses. chief among
which was the largest March rain rec
ord in twenty-five years. The total
rainfall, includingmelted snow and sleet,
was 5.72 inches, 3.47 inches above the
March average. The total rainfall of
this year is 1l.51 inches, which is $50
above the average for the same months
in the preceding twenty-four years.
The percentage of cloudiness and wind
velocity was above the average.

ORANGES.

1t is with pleasure that we refer
our readers to letter from the pen
of the Rev. S. E. Bishop, which is
brought out by the letter on orange
culture from California, published
yesterday. Mr.. Bishop speaks on
these matters with an authority
born of extensive knowledge, and
his opinion that orange culture
would pay here is that of an
expert.
For years the impression has pre-
vailed that oranges would not do
well in Honolulu; yet there are
now several trees in the heart of
the town yielding as fine fruit as
the valleys of Waialua and Wal
lupe. With the conditions of soil
and climate as favorable as they
are here, there seems no reason to
apprehend that the orange industry
might not become remunerative,
affording profitable employment for
thousands. All that is wanted to
insure the future of any industry
for which physical conditions are
| favorable is such union with the
United States, of whatever charao-
ter it may be, as will make forever
impossible the erection Of a tariff
wall high enough to shut US out
from a market. 1t is incredible
that country so favored
by the elements as Hawaii, should
not be able to furnish a soil for in.
dustries which will support free
laborers by the thousand. All that
is needed is steady market, Sc
cure from the fluctuations of legis
latiye caprice.
Growing oranges does not re.
quire a large capital, as it may b.
begun on very modest scale. L
is thus, like coffee, suited to thu
wants of the small farmer and thu
development of the industry vii
thus be likely to favor the increas'
of that class. Is it not better t,
grow oranges with free labor thar
sugar with coolies ? May the tim
soon come when the hot valleys Q
Hawaii will be golden with tn
fruit of millions of orange trees.
