A PROBABLE UPHEAvAL
In the Management of the Wisconsin State
University.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. IA profound
sensation has been created here by the
charges made by School superintendent
Peterson Of Winncbago county against
the University of Wisconsin. The re-
suit has been that II has been decided
by the state university visitors to have
an investigation. 1t is expected that
ten. Lucius Fairchild, president Of the
board, will appoint the committee for
that purpose at once.
The principal charge is that this
state institution, based on the broadcast
Of democratic principles, is a rich mans
college; that the humble student Is
handicapped by the ''aristocratic'
tendencies of the management and Of
the social life of the college. Besides,
there arc charges of mismanage-
mcnt, discrimination and misuse Of
funds. II is expected that the
charges Of Supt Peterson win be fol-
lowed by an attack upon the univer-
sity at meeting Of the State Teach
ers association at Milwaukee next
week. Complaint is made that the uni
versity has its grip on the high schools
of the state in such a way as to shape
their work, and change is demanded.

the committee on foreign relations, and

Mr.. Morgan said the senate should not
be hasty. The bill should be, in his
opinion, deliberated upon as long as
necessary to secure an absolutely

that the matter could be adjusted

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-As the North
Atlantic squadron corresponds TO the
British channel squadron in being
charged with the defense of our most
important coast line, II may be that the
authorities will take the view that
prudence would seem to necessitate
the abandonment Of the proposed
evolution of the United States
navy, which would take the
ships away from home and leave
the coast defcnseless, and also would
cut them off from their base of supplies
