FAST" STUDENTS PUNISHED.
FOrty-One Dropped from the Rolls of
Leland Stanford University.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, California,
Dec. 30-The university committee on
doubtful cases met yesterday and dropped
the names of forty-one students from the
college roll. Inferiority in university work
was the cause of most of the dismissals.
A number, however, had charges of i'm
morality or vulgarity against their names,
and had been turned over to the funk
ers' " committee by the committee in
charge of student morals at the first of this
month when the latter committee waited
four students for a too hilarious celebra-
ton of the Thanksgiving football victory.
The two committees work together. A
f1agrant violation of college regulations as
regards student conduct is summarily
handled by the committee on student
morals. Other students who have charges
brought against them for improper behav-
ior are referred to the committee on doubt
full cases, which acts as soon as their work
is reported 10 be poor Dissipation and good
college standing are held by the faculty
to be incompatible. The number of those
expelled this term far exceeds the suspen-
sions made in any pc ious semester.

MRS. BOOTH-TUCKER AMAZED.
She Thinks Her Husband Was Mis-
quoted in His Chicago Interview.

NEW YORK, Dec. 80. - Emma Booth
Tucker, wife of Commander Booth-Tucker,
to-day made the following statement:
II am amazed and grieved beyond express
sion to read in this mornings issue of GER
tain papers the message from Chicago which
purports that Commander Booth-Tucker
spoke of Mrs. Ballington Booths illness as
being of a nonserious and even feigned char
acter. 1 am hoping to catch the commander
on his journey West by telegram to-day,
that I may get his own denial of this all
legged statement. In the meantime would
most unhesitatingly assert that there has
been some grave misrepresentation on the
part of the informant in this case and I
point to our written statements, both to the
press and as contained in our periodicals.
as proof positive that no such attitude has
for one moment been taken by us.
1T is true, we have regretted sincerely
that the Volunteers should have seen fit TO
make the iamented illness of Mrs Booth
the occasion of so painful an attack on the
Salvation Army. For this, however, we are
not responsible, but we have absolutely re-
subject, asserting from the first that our
only feeling in the matter has been that of
love and sympathy for the sufferers. In this
all our headquarters staff and intimate
friends can bear me out.
One word of personal explanation from
myself seems necessary in regard to my visit

fused entrance to Mrs. Booths room. This
was not the case, since did not ask to see
the patient, regarding her condition as too
serious. / particularly requested that the
flowers and little card l left should not be
taken to Mrs. Booth until such time with
out disturbance, she would be able to re-
ceive them l may say that the clerks at
the hospital treated me with every cour-
tesy."
Emma Booth-Tucker tonight received the
following Dispatch dated North Platte.
Neb., from Commander Booth-Tucker in am
swer to an inquiry as to the truth of the
statement attributed to him in recent pubi-
cations concerning the illness of Mrs Bal
lington Booth. Greatly regret renewed

Embargo ON Tobacco to BE Raised.

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. S0.-A dispatch to
the Constitution from Havana, via Key
West, says: From q strictly private and yet
responsible source comes the information
that the port of Havana will be opened to
expectation within twenty-four hours. The
port was closed by Captain General Wey-
Iers edict of May IA, 1896. for the purpose
of crippling the tobacco industries of the
United States, particularly those of Tampa
and Key West. General Weyler did this, he
claimed, to insure permanent employment
to the discontented cigar makers in Havana
during the troublesome times of war, but
it is known that his special aim was to
paralyZe the Cuban colonies of the United
States from which was coming the foster
ing strength that made the insurgents for
midabe. There are about seventy thou
sand bales of tobacco now in the ware
houses of Havana ready to be shipped to
the States the moment the port is opened.
1t is said that the crop is promising, all of
which indicates that brighter days are
dawning for the paralyzed commerce of
Cuba and the waning cigar factories Of the
limited States.

New Government of Cuba.

New Government of Cuba.
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 3O.-Antonio Gown,
who has been offered a place as minister
of the interior for Cuba by the Spanish gov
ernment, will not accept. He was the
founder of the Autonomist party in Cuba,
but has no political aspirations now. II
will never return to Cuba" said Senor
Gown, lin a political character. have Civ
en- up politics and especially in my beloved
island. Yes" he continued, II have seen
the newspaper reports which include my
name in the Cabinet which has been Sc
lected by General Blanco to undertake the
autonomous governmnt of Cuba. But have
received no official information of such ap-
pointment and in view of my open criticism
made in this city of the action of Senor Gal
vez and Senor Montero, in accepting such
places, it would be inconsistent in me to
follow in their steps. 1t must be renem-
bered that have never been counted among
the reVolutiOniStS in Cuba, but that l was
welded to the interests of my native island
self, has always been just as clearly Ender-
stood. When the peace of ZanjOn was
signed, 1t became evident that the old meth
cd of governing Cuba was at an end. The
people of Cuba are of Spanish blood and nat
urally there is that tradition of race which
made many of them feel kindly to the old
peninsula. These men deemed that it was
possible to be true to Cuba and loyal to
Spain at the same time, and they organized
the Autonomist party, whose purpose was
the conservation of Cuban interests. In all
this we failed and the war was inevitable
NV views of the Cuban question will not
allow me to accept the offered place"

Lane, president of the American Cotton
Growers Protective association, has is
sued an address TO the cotton growers of
America calling meeting of the assooia-
ttion at Memphis. December 20.
President Lanes address is as follows:
I'm response to the earnest rsqu st of
a Large number OF the most prominent
cotton growers of thu south, repre- emit ng
saply the entire cotton belt, am again
induced to call the cotton growers of the
south to meet in convention for the pur-
pose of and with th= hope that through
mature elaboration we may arrive at in
telligent conclusions ais to the best pro-
cedure to meet and combat the indus, rial
conditions that now confront us.
st is the OPINION of the bsst minds of
your country that this consummatton
can only be reached by a resolute, con-
tnuous and systematic rule of action
laid down by authorized representation,
and adhered to by the MASSES of ths
II shall MOI waste space by ndulging in
arguments of this necessity eff this action.
Five cent cotton and it's natural effect is
as own most potent pleader i'm this cause.
and the sounding adjectives OF the ora
tor and the weE-round5d sentences of the
journalists are not necessary to awaken
thu south to the sad realization of our
condition and what is to follow without
remedial action on these Lines. The inn
portance of the situation addresses itself
ITO our common country.
There is no one Interested in the ma
ter,al prosperity of the south who will
not have to bear THEIR pro rata of this
burden. Upon the part of the "Ameri-
can Cotton Growers Port ctive associa-
ton" l appeal to all of our people to join
us in a patriotic, systematic and con-
servait.ve effoIlt to cure these ills that
now afflict US. All agricultural societies
are requ sted to send representation.
We resp ctfully invite the presence of
banker commission men, merchants and
all th4se directly or indirectly interested

to force the gas company to fulfill its
contract, and second, to get dollar gas.

Il want to congratulate The Age-Her-

gas question, ''on the splendid fight 1t is
making for dollar gas in Birmingham.
You should have very cheap gas here,
being in the midst of the coal fields.
Danville, Va, is 500 miles from the coal

or even less, they would supply 1.-TWO or
three times as many people and make q
