THE STATE COLLEGE.
The resolve in favor of the State college
appropriating $25o0O annually for ten years,
was assigned in the Senate today but, on
motion of Senator Day was assigned for
tomorrow. Mr.. DAY stated that amend
ments were being prepared which it was
hoped would be satisfactory to all parties.
At conference this evening no agree-
ment was reached. and the contest will
probably be made on the floor. Friends of
the measure were willing to agree to stipu-
lations as to the method of expanding the
money, but would not consent to striking
or board, or other temporary duty or by
reason of being sent to the naval hospital
for temporary treatment.
The point of order was sustained by the
Chair. On motion of Mr.. Springer of Hi
nois. a proviso was made authorizing the
detail upon his own application of any re-
tired officer of the navy or marine corps as
instructor in any college or institution of
learning.
