Regent Smiths Meeting Fails-The Ar
rival Of Prof. Fairchild.


rival OF Prof. Fsirchild.
PULLMAN, Feb. 13.-[Special. -Four
members of the agricultural college in
vestigation committee arrived here today,
and the remaining three will arrive to-
morrow. Those here spent the after
noon in examining the college build
ings. Tomorrow they expect to
begin work in earnest. However,
himself to the committee by an incident
which shows him to be foxy schemer.
He had stated at Olympia to Representa-
tive Anderson, chairman of the investi-
eating committee that, as the board
of regents ought to meet, he could
call meeting of the regents to
meet at Pullman and be present
at the meeting of the investigating COM
mittee. This he neglected to do. First,
he claimed that the wires were down and
he could not reach DR.. Conover. He did,
however, notify Lesh, but gave as reason
tor not notifying Fellows that he did not
know whether the regents would
IDENTIFY Smith meant to keep the re-
committee. as he had brought serious
Fellows. Had Smith not purposely led
Anderson to believe the regents would be
present he would have sent for them. The
question is: Why did Smith notify Lesh
only? It is learned that Fellows
will be here, and it is highly probable that
Chairman Anderson will ask Smith some
puzzling questions. The names of those
present are: McElwain, OF Seattle; An
derson, of Tacoma; Anderson, of Whit
man. and Nelson, of Spokane, all repre-
sentatives.
Prof Lee Fairchild arrived today and
will begin work at once.

A STORY OF TEftNYSON.
How He Shocked the Jings ,es Of London
in Reading ..Ihc Re venge."

A capital story which is quite au-
thentic, is told about the late laureate
and his wonderful poem, The Re-
venge." It was first pu blIshed in the
Nineteenth Cen tury in l',7S or 1879. On
the eve of its publication Dennyson in
vited between thirty aIad forty of his
most intimate friends to his house in
Eastocl square, in order that he might
recite this patriotic piece to them. 1t
is well known that Lord Tennyson
was an excellent man of business Had
he written Paradise Lost" he would
have been both very hungry and very
cold before acc cepting ten pounds
sterling for the copyright. A letter of
his is in existence which, after offer
ing the right to publish hisNvorks at a
certain price, ends with declaration
that, whether the publisher accepts
his offer or not, he (Lord Tennyson)
would not accept ''a blessed penny
less! In fact, he was very much like a
certain Leeds banker who, when asked
by a customer to cash q draft for a
large amount over the counter, replied:
''We do nothing for nothing for no.

ing letter from the hate laureate,
which compares the writer of poetry
for nothing to the milking of the
goats. When the recital of "The Re-
venge" in Easton square took place,
there was much jingo feeling about in
fashionable society in London, and
not few infected persons were among
the select audience. AS the poet pro-
cee1ed in his rich and sonorous tones.

Lincolnshire accent. the favored few

the last lines:
And the whole sea plunged and 1elnon. the shot

And the little Revenge herselfswent down by
the fAand crags.

the feelings of all present were strung
up into excitement and enthusiasm.

pause, and without the least .change of
tone in his voice, land the beggars
only gave me three hundreAi pounds
sterling for it, when it was worth at

more"

Fresh Fame 10 His Remarkable Ca
reer-A Splendid Fighter and
Able Organizer.

Col. Edmund Rice, q. S. A., COM
mandant OF the Columbian guard at

of which any officer iu the service
might be well proud. For more than
eighteen months he has occupied a
most difficult position. Detailed by
the war department at Washington TO
organize and take charge of the guard
authorized by the government TO do
duty at the exposition. he enlisted a

ficer available for the responsible po-
sition to which he was appointed.
For more than thirtythree years
Col Rice has been in actual service.
He first enlisted with the Fourteenth
Massachusetts and was acting as cap
tain at the beginning of the civil war,
though only nineteen years old. Later

ice in many of the important battles
