ANDREWS DECIDES,
VIII BE Head of the New CosmopOIi-
tan University.

New York, Sept. 4.-Dr. Z. Benjamin
Andrews, president of Brown univer-
sity, Providence, r. l., whose resigna-
ton as head of the faculty of that in
stitution is still in the hands of the Of
ficers, has accepted the position of
president of the new Cosmopolitan
university, founded by John Brisben
Walker.
DR.. Andrews resigned from Brown
university because of his radical views
on the silver question. His resigna-
ton was taken up recently by the
trustees, and the learned president was
requested to reconsider his action. Not
that Brown university accepted or
stood sponsor for his economic ideas.
but that Brown university wanted DR..
Andrews.
In the meantime Mr.. Walker had of
fered to DR.. Andrews the presidency of
a university that, it was promised,
should be worldwide in it's scope-a
university without fees, without di-
p!omas. without red tape and expenses
of any kind. Friday night DR.. Andrews
gave out a statement in which he an
noUnced his acceptance of the offer.
and said til. the work to be done by
the new corporation is in the nature Of
the university extension already car
ried on by Brown university, so that
the head of Brown university might
conceivably be the same person who
had charge of the new work He, how
ever, did not deem such q union desir-
able, and if resorted' to it will only be a
device to tide over a temporary diff

COST OF THE STRIKE.
II Is Estimated That the Miners Have
Lost &1O.5O0.OOO


Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. ct is safe TO
say that the miners strike will end
within week. 1t is understood here
that the national officials of the miners
union are willing to accept the opera
tors offer of compromise at 65 cents,
an advance of IL cents, although the
strikers wanted 60 cents. The Pitts
burgh miners, or majority of them,
are still insisting upon the 69-cent rate,
but as their delegates to the Columbus
convention will go uninstructed it is
probable they will be persuaded to vote
for the compromise.
The battle has been costly one for
the strikers, according to estimates
made by their own officials. it's hoped
work will be resumed by Friday next,
just ten weeks since the strike ordered
went into effect, and in that time the
strikers have lost in wages SIC, 5OO, 900.
1t is estimated that in the bituminous
coal districts of the country, including
Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, In
diana, Illinois, Iowa and other states,
$4,000 men were idle. The average earn
ings of the men is put at 81. 40 day.
If the compromise is accepted it will
take two years of steady work for the
strikers to recover what they have lost.
Although the strikers are by far the
heaviest losers, the operators claim that
they too have lost, or rather will lose,
$1,O0O,00O. The operators say that up
to date they have lost no money, be-
cause they have been able to sell at
fancy prices immense piles of slack and
mine refuse that is ordinarily worth
nothing. But the advance of II cents
proposed will result in their filing
number of large contracts at loss, and
for this there is no remedy until new
contracts are made. The operators
say there is but 100000 tons yet to be
shipped to the lakes under contract,
but they are afraid they will not be able
to get it out in time, because there will
be shortage of cars just as soon as the
miners resume work.

TWO GIRLS KILLED.
Awful Result of u Boiler Explosion nj
Morton, Ill.

Peoria, ILL.,, Sept. 6.-Morton, Taze-
well county, ten miles from Peoria, was
the scene of a terrible explosion Sun
day afternoon. Tillie and Emma Boyer
were killed outright, and Albert Boyer,
Frank Boyer, Cassie White and Mrs.
Louis Moschel were badly injured. The
Boyer boys will probably die. The
boilers in a brick building used as a
mill, electric light power house and
pumping station exploded. demolishing
the building and damaging the water
tower, $50 feet distant. Houses for
blocks were also damaged. Fireman
George Grimm entered the builing few
minutes before five o'clock, started the
fires in the boiler and then went home
for supper. He says there was 25
pounds of steam and cannot explain
what caused the explosion, The Boyer
children were playing in the yard next
to the mill and were una BILE to get away.
The boiler caught one of the little girls
and carried her $50 feet, she landing
on the top of barn. She was crushed
to pieces. Flying iron crushed the skull
