UNIVERSITY NEEDED

Ever since the days OF Washington
efforts have been made from time to
time to establish national university
in the city of Washington, the seat Of
government. These efforts have been
chrystslized and il is probable that con-
gressional action will be taken in the
premises as this session. The offices OF
true university and the reasons why
the government should establish such
school of learning we're set forth in the
memorial of Ex-Governor John W. Hoyt
and are in part as follows:
1. To supplement existing institu-
tioDs by supplying full courses of post
graduate instruction in every depart
ment.
2. By its central faculties and cluster
of professional schools of highest grade,
to represent at all times the sum of
human knowledge.
3. To lead IN the upbuildina OF new
professions by its applications OF science
4. To Iced the world in the work of
research and INVESTIGATION.
1. Neither existing institrtion1 nor
the great UNCONVENTIONAL universities in
prospect can meet the demand. The
nation only is equal to the founding OF
such university as the nation needs.
2. The nation needs the influence of
National university upon the govern
ment eervice.
3. The American system Of education
can only be made complete by the
browning university it lacks as a source
OF co-ordinsting influence, inspiration
and eleveting power.
4. A National university would
strengthen the patriotic
sentiment OF the country.
5. A National university would more
strongly than any other attract men of
genius from every quarter OF the world
to its profeseorehips and fellowshipe,
thus increasing the cultured intellectual
forces of both institution and country.
o. A National university would espe-
cislly attract students Of high character
from many lands, whose return after
years vt contact with free institutions
would promote the cause Of liberal gov
eminent everywhere.
Z. The founding of National uni
versity would be, therefore, a most ft-
ting thing for great nation ambitious
to lead the world IN civilization.

German Physicians Account of the
Hoard of the Sultan of Morocco.
A French journalist has brought up
again the ancient story of the enor-
nous treasure held by the sultan of
Morocco. The French ambassador to
Morocco brought back to Louis XIV. in
1885 the story that the sultan of that
day, Muley-Ismael, kept at Mequinez,
the favorite residence of the sultans. a
treasure valued at $50, 600, 900, saws an
exchange. Chenier, another French
ambassador, 100 years later, returned
with rumors of the treasure, but it had
shrunk in century to about g, 500. 900,
which is supposed by some authorities
to be about the ordinary annual rev.
enue Of the sultan.
The legend of the treasure was still
in sound health SO years later, for
Graeber di Hemso, z traveller, affirmed
about 1884 that the sultan's hoard,
called Bit-el-Men, was kept at
Mequinez, under the guard of 1000
negroes. 1t was believed to consist of
100000 pieces OF money, besides ingots
of gold and silver and precious stones.
The treasure house, according to this
traveller, was an Enclosure of massive
walls, which were exactly repeated
within. In order to reach the treasure
it was necessary to open five iron gates,
secured with secret locks, of which the
keys were always in the hands of the
sultan or of his favorite. 1t was the
custom in earlier times to kill the
guards that accompanied the new
treasure, lest the secrets of the treas
ure house be divulged.
Other travellers have kept the story
alive, and from the manner in which
taxes are levied and public affairs adj
ministered in Morocco, it is generally
believed that the sultan has great
wealth laid up. The latest story of the
treasure comes from Dr. Rohlfs. a Ger
man, at one time physician to the
harem of the present sultan, Mulev
Hassan. DR.. Rohlfs declares that the
treasure of the sultan is greater than
ever. Some have represented that, for
safety, the imperial wealth is kept in
several places, part of it at Fee, part in
the oasis of Tablet and part at other
points in the empire. DIR. Rohlfs de-
clares that the sultan's 10000. 900 Ger
man thalers, or about 81 ZOO, 900, are at
Mequinez, in somber edifice, which
the light Of day never penetrates. The
custom OF killing the treasure bearers
Is not kept up, and the guard is not
s,oco, but 500, negroes, who keep watch
In living tomb. Or. Rohlfs has seen
some OF the sacks inclosing part of the
treasure.

SENIOR ESTRADA PALMA, Cuba's pleni-
poten tiary in the United States, said in
an interview: "We have forced Spain
TO send over 10000 troops and increase
her navy, as we'll as her debt, and yet
our columns are steadily advancing
from the orient to the western province
through strategic military lines and train
ed armies, until We have reached the
territory in which early last summer we
announced We would operate this win
ter. Spain is trying to negotiate anoth-
er war loan of 125,OOO,0O0 pesetes, and
all to crush what che asks the world TO
believe is handful of bandits. Spain
has sent to Cuba since February "a,
nearly as many troops as England did in
the entire revolution of the American
colonies" He might have added that
10000 more Spanish troops are to be
landed in January. thus making 10000
Spanish soldiers in "The Ever Faithful
Isle" Faith is evidently kept at the
point OF the bsyoDet.

Notwithstanding the heat there was a
good attendance at the Dunn Hall last

and instrumental concert. Besides pos
sessing good vocal accomplishments,
these artists collectively play forty-one
musical instruments, so that with such
resources they are able to and do present
a varied program. The versatility OF the
performers is astonishing and the musical
effects they produce, some OF them novel
and unique and all OF them excellent, arc
such as to make their entertainment well
worth witnessing and hearing"
