PETERSBURG. VA. July H.-Special.-
Rev. DIR. McIlwaine, president of Hamp-
den-sdney College. is in the city, ana
will preach at the Second Presbyterian
church tomorrow. When | asked him
in regard to the proposed removal OF the
Union Theological Seminary. he replied
that he did not think there was much
probability Of its being accomplished.
DR.. Mcilwaine told me that he had
Just returned from Richmond. where he
had interviews with a number OF promi-
nent Presbyterians, not one of whom Is
in favor Of removal, or proposed to aid
I'm il. Dr. Mcilwaine stated that tnere
IS intense distaste expressed to the sepa-
ration Of the Seminary from the Col
lege. and as the trustees or the latter
institution have resolved that there is
no occasion even to consider the question
of removal. this. in the minds OF many,
gives a ouietus 10 tie movement.
"The synod Of Virginia" said Dr. Nc
Uwaine. which meets at Charleston,
West Virginia, in October, Will probably
give a final determination 10 the matter.

file OF the ministry and people are much
opposed TO this effort

that there will be a larger number OF
students at Hampden-Sidney College than
last season. A number OF new boys VIII

trustees at their last meeting In the
interest OF athletics has given much salts

tanned for both Institutions during the
summer will meet a want which has
been heretofore felt.
Before Or. Mcllwainc left Prince Ed
ward county the first of this week, he
was told By Or. Hersman, the super
.ntendent OF the Theological seminary
that most OF the eligible rooms In that
institution were engaged for the next
season. and he thinks there will be no
falling Off and probably an increase IN
the number Of students.
