STUDENTS INDIGNANT.

Richmond. Va, Jan 29.-Rochier
Miller of Pennsylvania, a student
of the University College of Medi-
cine here, caused considerable in
dignatien among his fellow-students
by writing an article a short time
ago to the Honey Grove Graphic,
his home paper, III which he char
acterized President jefferson Davis
at traitor, and expressed disgust
that the Confederate flag was wav-
ing above his tomb in Hollywood
Cemetery here.
The Indignation meeting held by
the students to-day was largely at
tended, almost every student being
present. Some fiery speeches were
made, advocating the summary dis
missal of young Miller. Prof.
Hodges CT the faculty, however,
advocated the matter being dropped,
and Mr.. Miller stated before the as
semhled students that he had made
mistake and regretted exceedingly
that he had written the article. He
said that he had learned to respect
the Southern people and their pre-
iudiees. 1t wa. decided that the
matter should b dropped.

Chicago Feb THE Government ended its case
in the Debs trial this afternoon and the introduce
ton OF testimony for the defence Will begin to-

cup created surprise by stating that he had recon-
sidered his refusal 20 allow Mr. Geeting 10
examine the Governments witnesses. and recalled
the witnesses Ryan and Spencer. whom he had
refused 10 allow Geeting to cross-examine last
week. Mr.. Gecting waived his right In the OF
these two the ground that he had forgotten
their testimony. but would exercise his privilege In
the case Of all subsequent witnesses.
The last Witnesses for the Government were j.

that he had ditched nineteen that day. The
attorneys for the defence asked that ConloDs evil

Mr. Darrow, for the defence. then made an appcal
to the Court To take the case from the hands Of the

left out only because Of the lack Of sufficient method
of relief distribution. On February seventyseven
cars OF goods for the succor of the destitute were
held in Lincoln In the Burlington warehouse await

kraut had burs; the barrels in which 1t was packed
and the brine leaking over goods stored around
