CASE OF DR.. ANDREWS.
1t VIII Be Considered To-day by
Brown University Corporation.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Aug. 31-The meet
ing of the advisory and executive commit
tee of the corporation of Brown University
was held to-day at the university. Routine
business of very little public Importance
was transacted, in preparation for the
larger meeting Of tomorrow. Among other
things the letter of President Andrews, re-
signing his position, was read and will be
presented to the corporation. Ex-Judge
Durfee of the Supreme Court who was a
member of the committee appointed to con-
fer with DIR. Andrews regarding the inter-
ests of the university, said that he did not
know whether or not his committee would
make report to the corporation. They
might do So although one of the three
members is in Europe. When asked whether
or not he thought DR.. Andrewss resigna-
ton would be accepted. he replied that if it
were true that DR.. Andrews committed
to the Cosmopolitan University plans he
did not think ii probable that the corpora
ton would care to have him the head
of two institutions at once. He would not
however, presume to foretell what the cor
pOratiOn would do.

lower river this danger from low water Is
increased by northerly gales, which force
the water out of the river and spread IL

At st. MchaelS are piled up AGO tons OF

All the river boats are above Circle city,

newcomers who arrive without food Will
face starvation. 1t is known that hundreds,
trusting to what has been said by man.

have thrown away the greater part OF their
food to get over the Chilkat and White

The Alaska Commercial Company has al
ready discouraged people here from going
to Alaska this fall, because the officers
know what will happen should river naviga-
ton be interfered with. Now there is dan
ger of grave trouble at St. MichaeFs and
Dawson because of the hundreds of deluded
prOSpectOrS who have been encouraged 10

plies could be carried in by steamer. While
the officers of the Alaska Commercial Conn
pany hope their boats may get down the
Yukon with those who want to come OUT
they entertain grave fears that navigation
will close before they can. This Will be
ascertained when the Portland returns TO
St. MichaePs, and if navigation is not pos
sible those who went to St. Michaels ex~
pecting to go on up the river will be re-
turned the steamer.

portunity to send newspapers and reading

next spring will be afforded by the paper

forwarded by steamer leaving San Fran

Unofficial advices have reached the Post
office Department that the British govern
ment is contemplating the establishment
of another postal route to the Klondike
gion. to be almost wholly within British
territory. The entrance from the coast is
TO be effected, according to the new plan,
by means of the Stikine river, which has its
mouth on the United States side of the new
line, but passage through is free to all.
The scheme, as 1t Is being projected, is Tor

of the United States.
Reports have reached here that persons
acquainted with the Alaskan gold situation
generally believe that the Copper river val
ley will be the scene of great activity very
soon. This news comes in personal way
from postal authorities who have had an
opportunity to inquire into the matter. 1t

domain of the United States.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 31.-When shown
the dispatch from Columbus, o., stating
that the coal strike was considered there as
settled, President Ratchford, of the United
Mine Workers of America, acknowledged
that he had received a proposition to have
the miners resume work at GA cents pending
arbitration. He added: Our executive
council meets at Columbus (O) tomorrow
night, and the proposition of Mr.. Young,
who represents a large number of opera
tors, will be considered with other matters.
L must decline to discuss the proposition
until after it is submitted to the council. 1t
would not be right for me to do so.
This convention has given us very ma
terial aid already. The money that will be
collected under the resolution passed will
amount to between four and five million
dollars, and it will keep us alive a long
time. 1t allows us to go on with the strike
without fear of starvation"
