10 Discipline a Foreign kanter.
Chicago, Dec 25.-President Harper of
the Chicago university has been afforded
another opportunity of disciplining a
member of his faculty for too free an ex-
preston of his personal opinions, and
the legion of friends of Professor Bemis.
the American who was ostracised from
that institution for his radical views con-
corning the relations OF capital and labor
in this country. are now awaiting with
interest what action. If any, the head OF
the university will take, now that the
offender Is a foreigner and the president OF
the United States is the subject Of at
tack.
This time the individual that has been
indulging in some plain talk is one Pro-
fessor Won Hoist. an unnaturalized Ger
man member of the faculty, and who in q
lengthy interview on the day Of the pub
LEGATION Of President Clevelands mes
sage concerning the Venezuelan compile
cation declared that the chief executive
was guilty of ''presumptdous impudenee,
asserted that England was perfectly right
in the attitude it had taken, and charac-
ter,zed the presidents message as the
'veriest sophistry." These offensive ex-
pressions, which were repeated again and
again in different forms in the interview
in question, have created locally storm
of disapproval, and there is a very general
expression of opinion that the university
authorities shoul disavow any sympathy
with them. Naturally enough, the friends
of Professor Bemis are making the most
of the occurrence. They contend that
Won Holsts offense is much more grave
than anything that has been imputed to
Professor Bemis. and insist that what is
sauce for the goose should be sauce for
the gander. There is no indication, how
ever that the university authorities pro-
pose to take any cognizance of the mall
apertness of their associate.

The Chicago Journal lately devoted
several pages to a description of the
Great Northern country" In speak
ing of the facilities for marketing live
stock. it says; 1t is now conceded
that South St Paul is really the only
live stock market and packing center
northwest of Chicago Live stock buy
ers from half a dozen different states
are constantly upon the market, and
everything that is worth shipping or
buying finds ready sale. One million
hogs will be required the coming year
to satisfy the demands of the pork
packers who now sell their product In
every civilized country throughout the
world 1t has now been fully demon
strated that hogs fed on wheat, or
wheat and barley, or oats, wheat and
barley produce a better quality of pork
than the corn-fed article; this fact be-
ing established, there is no reason why
the farmers of the great Northwest
should not successfully compete with
the farmers in the corn belt in the pro-
duction of hogs and live stock gener-
ally, especially with a live market at
their very door such as now exists at
South St Paul"

NO NEWS OF THE INSURGENTS
II l. Not Generally Believed. However.
That Their March On Havana
Has Been Stopped.

Havana, Dec 26.-Since the arrival
here last night of Captain General Mar
tinez de Campos from Matanzas he has
been in conference with leading military
and naval officers, civil dlgnitaries and
leaders of the different political par
ties. They assembled at the palace last
night and in the course of a number of
patriotic speeches pledged their uncon-
ditional support to the government in
its efforts to suppress the Instruction
and promised to do everything possible
in the way of moral and actual assist
ance.
News from the frot seems to be in
terrupted by rail and telegraph and no
details We're obtainable concerning the
movements of the insurgents 1t is
not generally believed, however, that
the march of Gomez and Maceo upon
Havana has really been stopped and
that they are in retreat.
The last news from the Spanish col
umns was that they were heading for
Guanabana, the headquarters recently
evacuated by Campos, situated not far
from Matdnzas.

petition has been presented by Mr. Hyde

Nelson and its favorable consideration
strongly urged. The principal reason on
cred for eXpediting this service during
the summer months are that great many
people from different parts of the state
spend the summer at points along Lake
Chelan, on this route, and the present ser.
