%preparing for War.

FARGO, May 19.--The agricultural
college board fight came to a crisis to-
day, when Governor Shortridge served
notice on the members of the follower
hoard that they we're suspended pend
inc an investigation of the charges made
AGAINST them. The members are mott
fed to appear before Governor Short
ridge on May 25th to show cause why
they should not be removed.
The charges are very lengthy, and en-
brace many items, summed up as a gen.
eral Misrepresentation of funds. Some
Of the items are ludicrous and amusing.
Que charges that President Miller Of
the board Of trustees sold to the college
acow for $40. The animal was so frisky
that no one at the college could come
near it, and at the end Of two weeks it
was killed for beef.
Another item is that Miller sold six
broken down work horses to the college
for $1,000, when they really were not
worthover $500.
The holdover board express the de-
termination to "hold the FORT" and Gov
ernor Shortridge says the militia will be
called out to secure the seal of the COL
lege board if necessary.

NEW YORK, May pa Sun spec,a.
from San Francisco, says:
The Chinese are under an unusually
heavy guard. There have been fears Of
on outbreak among the highbinders
ever since the decision upholding the
Geary law was announced. but nothing
happened to justify them until Sunday
morning when the body OF a Chinese
named All Foo was found in the bay at
the foot of Jackson street. Had been
shot in the abdomen and stabbed in the
back by highbinders for refusing to pay
them tribute. In his terror he ran to a
water front and jumped off a wharf.
At 3 m. Edward Hughes. II white
man. was set upon by 4 crowd of thugs.
His skull was fractured by 4 blow with
a cloth covered bar Of iron. and cne ear
was nearly sliced off, His assailants
escaped and their victim is in a re.
ceiving hospital. For several months
the lawless Chinese have been kept in a
state OF terror by vigorous action on
the part of the police, but it seems now
they are desperate. believing that they
will o o be deported, as the officials
have announced their intention
to enforce the law against this
class first. For the last two
days blackmailing has been car.
ried on boldly in spite of police vigil
lance. The authorities do not fear any
attacks on white people. nor are the
respectable Chinese likely to engage in
unlawful proceedings, but highbinders
are hocking in from the country towns
and they must have money, so the old
Matchmaking tactics are employed. 1t
is believed that another highlander war
will be begun in u day or two.

If it is true that General Beauregard left

ly for love of watching the turns of luck.
There were sure winnings in the lottery for
him, and he did not disdain to carry them
home and salt them down. Therein he diff
fered from Baron dc Hirsch, who, as most
people know, finds one use Of his vast in

lottery, the turf, is worth cultivating pure

of possible gain.
The baron has given to hospitals, homes
and benevolent associations, principally in
London, without regard to their creeds or
n%ationalities, all the money won by him
upon the turf during 1891 and 1892. In
1891 the winnings amounted to $1,000, and
in 1899 to R35, 900. The amounts received
from him by various institutions vary from
$4,000 TO G2OO. Several of them received

sion while in Chicago the other day F"
said a Western congressman in telling
of the great fair, ''that the claims ag.
gregating almost $500, 600 have been
filed with that body tor exhibitors for
property stolen. This is enormous.
During the Paris exposition the entire
amount of claims was only $175. 600, OF
8 fourth of the amount of those at Chi.
cago and the fair has not been open one
month. There is undoubtedly an or
ganized gang. Why, they carried away
from the French exhibit a bronze clock
that weighed $50 pounds. that had
required four men to unload it. How
they got it out of the grounds is a
mystery, unless there was collision on
the part Of some guard. If cholera ever
strikes Chicago, if one man ever has the

They will loot it from end to end. No
guards will face cholera, but the thief
