Lieut.. Gov. Kirkpatrick Gets In His
Little Speech "From tho Throne.''

Toronto, February Ill he legislature
opened at three today 18th the usual
ceremonies. Liuet. Gov. Kirkpatrick in
u speech from the throne. said: "I am
glad to notice that the action of the gov
ernment of the United States with re-
peot to the territorial rights Of Great
Britain, in South America, which caused
so much anxiety few months ago, is
not likely to lead to a rupture of the
peaceful relations which SO long has ex-
listed between the two nations, and with
so much advantage to both. It is grati-
flying to know, in case Of any trouble
affecting the interests of the mother
country, no sacrifice which circumstances
might demand, would be considered too
great by the people of Ontario, should
they be called upon to repel an invasion
or defend the integrity Of the British
Empire
The fact that the agricultural associa-
tions Of the province are in fourishing
condition and the farmers of Ontario are
doing all in their power to meet adverse
conditions consequent upon low prices of
farm produce, by a study of improved
methods was commented upon.

Foster February /. The faculty. rendered
q decision today, and eight Of the best
men of the Sophomore class have been
separated from college with no chance of
geetting back until next fall. The action
Of the faculty is regarded as very ex-
treme, and the different Greek letter fra
ternities have sent delegates to draw up
resolutions which will be voted upon to-
morrow at mass meeting Of the stu
dents, and then presented to President
Tucker. These resolutions ask the facul-
ty to modify the sentences from separa-
tion for the remainder OF the year, to
separation for this term. 1t would be
next to impossible to make ur all the
back work in their studies, and rather
than enter a lower class, most of the
eight would either cut of their education
now or go to some other college.
