1.-THE resolution Of the corporation of

by you, has been carefully considered.

action referred to entirely does away

when you laid the communication be.
fore me, l had undertaken to perform
the coming year certain work which,
after learning the judgment Of the cor
poration on the subj l came to re-
gard as incompatible with the duties OF

at first to adhere to my resignation.
But. being now free to give to the uni
versity my undivided service, I I've
withdrawn my resignation and have
notified the secretary of the corpora.

KEEPS PEOPLE GUESSING.

More Railroad Surveyors at Work in the
Vicinity of HibbinG.
DULUTH, Sept. 16.-The presence of a
surveying party in the country south Of
Hibbing for the past week has given
life to old rumors concerning a new
railroad from Duluth to the Mesaba
range. The men will give no informa.
ton as to their employers, but they are
looking for q feasible route for a rail-
road. A prominent railroad man said
he thought until recently they were in
the employ of Wright s. Davis, owners
Of the Duluth, Mississippi River and
Northern, but information had come to
him within o day or two which con.
WINGED him it was the promoters of
Premier Greenway's air line from
Duluth to Winnipeg who were doing
the work. There have been several
parties Of surveyors at work on the
range at different times during the sum.
mer, presumably engaged in running
railroad lines.

Long Chase After . Pittsburg Man Ends
at Port Washington, Wis.
PORT WASHINGTON, Wis.,, Sept. 49,
Archibald Kelso, who is wanted in
Pittsburg for numbering his father in a
most brutal manner and who has been
followed thousands Of miles by detec.
tives, was chased into the water and it
is almost certain he was drowned. De.
tective Arthur Black Of Pittsburg was
thrown into the lake by Kelso before he
took his fatal plunge, and Black was
rescued by Morris Goldfun, another
Pittsburg detective, who, as he brought
the nearly drowned man ashore, had to
fight off Kelso's pals with his pistol,
and it is presumed he badly wounded
one of them. The murder Of the elder
Kelso occurred Sept. II, 1896.

S1MLA, Sept. 16.-The operations OF
the troops under the command of Gen.
eral Yeatman.B iggs, undertaken for
the purpose Of relieving the SANTANA
posts, have been entirely successful.
The posts at Saraghari have been recap

A NOT STARVE.

Some Hope Held Gut to Those Who Have
Friends in the Klondike Region.
SEATTLE, Sept. l6.-Hope for those
who have friends in the Klondike is
held out by Frank Cryder, who came
down on the steamer Humboldt, after
having spent five years in the Yukon.
He does not believe there will be any
deaths from starvation, though he ad.
mits that food will be scarce. Cryder
says lack of shelter is a more serious
condition confronting the miners in the
gold belt than starvation. He says that
the closing of the company stores at
Dawson WIS a temporary expedient
merely to prevent spectators from COR
nering all provisions in the country,
and thereafter holding the supplies at
fabulous prices.
1t is not proposed to allow this, con.
tinued Cryder. The miners have de-
termined that any man selling food
must do SO at the company's prices.
These are fixed a,.i will not be allowed
to 60 higher. Where SO many people
are together and can interchange. food
goes a long way. An outfit that would
last one man a year, can be made to
hold out Is months by judicious trading.
Do not understand that I am advising
any one to go there this winter. I am
simply stating these facts to encourage
those who have friends in the North.
Lack of Shelter More Serious.
Lack of shelter will, in my opinion,
be responsible for more suffering in the
Klondike than will famine. 1t costs
81 900 for a fair log cabin, already built,
and the time and labor in constructing
q new me would amount to about the
same. There were not over 100 houses
in Dawson when I left, while in the
city were 5000 people. In the gulches
are being built huts to shelter those
who labor in the mines. Where the
newcomers, with light outfits and
empty pockets, will lay their heads is
an unsolved problem.
AS to the mining outlook Cryder de.
clared that So, 900 will be taken
this winter from the claims on Bonanza
and Eldorado creeks, while from the
Birch, Miller and Munook districts will
be washed about 5000. OOO."

HIS DRAMATIC EXIT.
An Anecdote of ex.Congressman
James Wilson, of Iowa.
From the New York Sun.

Eipiii lHe New 1OTk SuH.
Mr.. Wilson concluded his career in
congress on the morning of March 4,
1885, by a dramatic exhibition of gen.
erosity that will never be forgotten by
those who witnessed It. He was elect
ed to the Forty-eighth congress by a
majority of just twenty-three votes
over Ben T.. Frederick, the candidate
of fusion of the Democratic, Green
back and Labor parties. 1t was
Democratic house, and the committee
on elections reported in favor of Fred
erick, who contested Wilson's seat; but
the Republicans were determined that
Wilson should not be turned out, and
We're filibustering to prevent vote.
The late Samuel j. Randall came down
the aisle, while the house was in a ter
rible state of confusion, and asked to
be heard. He delivered a brief but
eloquent eulogy of General Grant, who
was thenlay dying and said that he held
in his hand bill which had passed the
senate restoring Grant to the rank of
general of the army, and placing him
upon the retired list.
Mr.. Speaker" he said, Il ask unani-
nous consent of the house to offer that
bill, and ] move that the rules be sus-
pended in order that it may be taken
up for action without debate"
Mr.. Covington, of Kentucky, objected.
He vehemently declared that the only
order of business before the house was
the resolution of the committee on cleo
tions seating Mr.. Frederick in place of
Mr.. Wilson, and that no other business
could be transacted until that case was
disposed of. Mr.. Covington's threat
was received with jeers on one side
and cheers on the other. Mr.. Wilson
climbed into his chair. and when the
house at last consented to listen to him
he said:
"Mr. Speaker, if this house will vote
to retire General Grant l am ready to
be sacrificed, and with that under
standing l hope that my friends will
offer no further objection to the adop-
tion of the report of the committee on
elections"
The house took him at his word
Within five minutes, by a viva voce
vote, Mr.. Wilson was unseated and Mr.
Frederick became a member of the
Forty-eighth congress. At Mr. Will
sons request the Republicans did not
| even call for the yeas and nays, and
| Immediately after he had surrendered
| his seat in congress for the benefit
to his old commander Mr.. Randall re-
newed the motion and the bill to place
General Grant upon the retired list was
passed by a vote of 1913 yeas to rs nays.
| Out of respect for Mr.. Wilson Mr..
Frederick voted yea.

CITY SCHOOL EXPENSES.
What Becomes of the 80. 100000
New York Pays Yearly for Educa-

ton.
New York city, according to the Sun,
eXpends $l,000,00O a year less on its
schools for the instruction of 100000
pupils by 4,S00 teachers than it does for
the police department. The appropria-
tion for the schools of New York for
the year 1897 will not be far from
total of $6,O00000, and the expenses,
from present indications, will not fall
much below that sum.
The question has often been asked
how far the appropriation for schools
is devoted to the payment of salaries,
and to what extent it is applied to the
purchase of supplies. The answer to
this question is given by the estimates
of the school board for 1897, which show
substantially that $4,000,000 of the APP
prOpriatiOn, or almost exactly two
thirds of the amount, is applied to the
payment of salaries. There are 256
principals, 40 vice principals, 1898 reGu-
lar teachers, 132 special teachers, and
3l3 substitutes or teachers on special
subjects. The payment of these pr!n-
cipalS and teachers is the chief item of
outlay of the school department and
next comes the supplies of books, maps,
states, and stationery, which in all the
schools of New York cost $500, 900 in
year. This item does not certainly
seem extraVagant when contrasted
with the one which follows it as the
third highest on the list, the pay Of
janitors, which is $685. 900 a year. For
the corporate schools, as they are called
schools under separate control, but
under supervision of the Board of Edu-
cation; those of the Children's Aid So
ciety are the largest of theSe), $l20, 900
is applied, and the expenditure for fuel
which comes next, is $l1S,000. The fuel
required for heating the schOolhOuses
of New York includes nearly $4,000 tons
of coal and more than 500 cords of
wood in year, and included in this
item of expenditure is the sum of 5000
for repairing and removing scales"
The expenses of the office staff of the
Board of Education foot up $62, 900. The
enforcement of the Truancy law costs
S64 900. The purchase of school furni-
ture and the repair of school furniture
in use cost more than $4,000 a year
The city pays $63 600" rent for school
premises, $4,000 toward the mainten-
ance of school libraries, and $4,000 for
the Nautical school. OF this sum $l4,-
900 is for the salaries of the superin-
visions, including water and drugs"
and most of the balance for nautical
supplies--3000 for ropes, locks, sail
cloth, paint, oil, vanish, and lumber
and $2,500 for the expense of the sum-
mer cruise. Seven thousand dollars a
year is expended by the school depart
ment of New York for pianos and for
the repair of pianos; an equal sum is
needed next year for placing fire alarm
telegraph wires in the subways lead
| ing to the schools; $4,000 viii be paid
| for free lectures, and &c. 400 for the
| transportation of pupils to and from
| schools in the annexed district Then
| S35, 900 is to be expended next year for
what is called the biennial school
census, whereby it will be possible to
| learn In detail the exact number of
| schcul c'il ven In New York under an
