The Move Entirely Unexpected-Letter

Providence, September l4.-Brown Uni
Versity opens tomorrow. All the under
graduates and the prospective members
OF the freshmen class are back in town.
The moment knot of students formed,
t he talk was about the resignation of DR..
Andrews
Tonight the college is celebrating as
earnestly as though the foot ball eleven
had defeated it's most bitter rival. Presi-
dent Andrews this afternoon withdrew
his resignation, and this is the cause OF
the rejoicing. His letter read:
Brown University, September IA, 1897.

Hazard, Committee:
conference.-the resolution of the cor
poration of Brown University on the first
instant, communicated to me by you,
has been carefully considered. l take
pleasure in assuring you that the action
referred to entirely does away with the
scruple which led to my res ignation. AT
the date however, when you laid the COM
munlcation before me, had undertaken
to perform the coming year certain work
which, after learning the Judgment of
the corporation on the subject, | came to
regard as incompatible with the duties of
the presidency, l therefore felt obliged
at first to adhere to my resignation. But
be ing now free to give to the university
my undivided service, have Withdrawn
my resignation, and have notified the
secretary of the corporation to that effect.
L am, gentlemen,
Yours with sincere esteem,
E. BENJAMIN ANDREWS.
This move is entirely unexpected. A
week ago tomorrow DR.. Anderson, secre-
tary of the corporation, admitted that he
had received letter from DIR. Andrews,
renewing his resignation. This was be-
lieved to be an answer to the request of
that body made at its meeting September
L, requesting DR.. Andrews to withdraw
an ounced that he would issue notice
of meeting for time which seemed
most convenient for the purpose of elect
ing new president or a temporary one.
This was taken to mean that DR.. An
drews had finally decided to take charge
of his college of correspondence.
1t is said that DIR. Andrews was closeted
all this afternoon with committee, ap-
proach to which was carefully guarded.
Whether this was factor in the an
nouncement made this afternoon is not
known nor does there seem to be any rea-
son why this latest action was made.
The Brown boys appointed delegation
to wait on the president and to ask him
to address them from the steps of his
residence DR.. Andrews thanked the
students for their interest in him, but de
clined to say anything, reserving until
chapel tomorrow morning whatever of
Importance is to be announced.
1t is expected that Sayles hall, where
the devotional exercises are to he held !
will be crowded with alumni, undergrad |
yates and prominent citizens tomorrow. |

MISSISSIPPI FLOOD.
and Was More Than Eager to Leave
 Critical Condition of That City. :.

MT s. P. West, accident insurance agent for the Southern railroad. has re- turned from a trip over the water washed portion of the road in Mississippi. Mr. West reports over fifty miles of the road is under water. The trains going south are now running only as far as Green wood, and the water is still rising He spent one night in Greenville, and says he was more than thankful to get out of that city. The river bed is several feet higher than the city, and one standing on the ground has to look up to see the great volume of water and the boats floating on it. The levees have broken above and below and the entire city is inundated.
 '"The levees are only about twelve feet thick" remarked MT. West, "and the water Is seeping through at a rapid rate. the levees are built of dirt and with just one break and the city of Greenville would be carried away like Johns,own."

Early Flowing For Wheat.

Wheat needs compact ground, but
not hard or rough ground. The soil
ought to be made fine, so that the small
roots can get their plant food, and this
fine soil needs to be close about them.
In commenting on the foregoing ]. M.
Rice, Oklahoma, explains in Farm,
Field nd Preside that In heavy or
clay sells this compacting will come
naturally and quickly by gravitation
and the action of rainfall. In the far
Their west the soil is light and loose and
the rainfall limited. He says;
To get the natural compacting Of
soil, blowing, as rule, must be done
early. If ii is practicable to do so, the
plows should be started as soon as the
standing grain is out. Where header
is used this may be the same day, and
even where a binder is used portion
Of the ground can DO plowed among the
shocks at once. OF course with the or
binary force Of the farm this is not al
ways practicable, but it would be best
IL II could be so arranged, for the
ground dries out rapidly after the stand
ing grain is removed and is likely to be
too dry for blowing. With the usual
light rainfall the oompacting is slow
process, so the longest possible time
should be bad between blowing and
seeding. There are artificial means Of
oompacting, in the use Of the roller and
press drill. We used both of these in
the wheat ground of the present har-
vest, but early blowing was better than
all else

soldiers have been killed In big battle
near the site Of Canudos. The fanat.
les, numbering moro than 10000 men,
all well armed. attacked the govern.

soldiers were swept down and de-
stroyed, trampled under foot, as the
victorious fanatics. with wild, hoarse
shouts Of triumph passed over them.
The full extent Of the loss of life can
not be told. There is no reason to
doubt, however, that the loss in killed
on both sides is more than 5000.
For miles the ground around Canudos

government troops being compelled to
leave their dead on the field and fee to
save themselves from complete dc.
