sound on Various Questions.
New Hampton. N. H., Aug. 5.-Repre-
sentative Joseph H. Walker, Of woroes-
ter, who is a member Of the board Of
trustees Of Brown university ard to
whose opposition to the public utterances
of President Andrews on the subject Of
free silver the recent resignation Of DR..
Andrews is attributed, stated yesterday
that he personally started the trouble
at Brown university at meeting Of the
corporation Of the university last June.
This was done because the utterances
Of President Andrews were at variance
with the views Of the corporation on the
question Of a national financial policy.
Walker said: Nothing was said or
done at the meeting of the trustees of
the university in June that was not
clearly within the line Of duty upon the
part of every member Of the board, and
everything was said and done with a
feeling Of the warmest friendship for
DIR. Andrews In turning from
the corporation. every one Of whom was
his friend, to the public and taking the
position he has Il cannot see how,
by any possibility, the relations which
must necessarily exist between the pres
i6ent Of the university and the corpora
ton can be re-established." -
Walker declared, In closing the inter-
view, that DR.. Andrews has taught other
things than silver which We're thought
to be detrimental to the progress Of the
university. His position upon the wage
question, Walker said, is bad.

Umpire Wolf a vile name and was Of
dered out of the game. Captain Te-
beau refused to put a man in to bat
