where the rest of the part, II in number,

they will return with additional supplies
The trip to Fort Resolution was made
without accident and the travellers were
emphatic in their opinion that he all

they said that any man who condemned
it will not base his remarks on facts.
On their return trip Warmoles and Rock

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
WashiagtOn's Dream May at Last
De Realized.
BILL TO THIS END TO BE CON-
SIDERED BY CONGRESS TO-DAY.

Will Provide For Selection of a Board of
Regents For a New Government
University To Be Established at
Washington.
Washington, December l2.-The bill to
establish the University of the United
States will again be considered in both
houses Of Congress tomorrow. The bill
in general terms provides for an institu-
r1on of the highest possible type, for the
graduates of accredited colleges and uni
yersities only with special reference to the
work of original research and investi-
cation in all important fields of inquiry.
The government is vested in board of
regents and a university council. The
board of regents embraces the Presidents
OF the United States, the chief Justice of
the United States and the commissioner
of education, the secretary of the Smith
sonian institute. the president of the Ma
tional Academy of Science, the president
Of the National Educational society, the
president of the university and nine other
citizens to be appointed by the President
by and with the advice and consent of
the Senate, no TWO of whom shall be
from the same state. The university
council is to have immediate charge of
the work of instruction, research and in
Vestigetion.
1t consists Of the regents and i2 other
members. to be appointed by ten from
among the eminent educators with
like impartial distribution. All courses
mined by the council, also all regulations
governing the internal management of
the institution. Neither sectarian nor
political preferences is to be allowed,
whether in the appointments or in any of
the operations of the instuiSution. Au-
thority is given to establish with other in
stitutions of learning such cooperative
relations as are deemed advantageous.
Provision is made for the use of what
is known as FUniversity Square," the
site set apart by Washington for universi-
| ty purposes and lately occupied as the
| naval observatory. Congress is asked now
! for but enough means to enable the board
of regents to, organize and practically
inaugurate the institution. Gifts and
bequests are to be deposited in the United
States treasury in trust and invested in
| bonds of the United States bearing per
cent interest.
The present bill is the outgrowth of
more bnan nunufeQ years OF aglGaGlOn.
| The thought of a national university
first came to Washington while COM
manding the Revolutionary army. Sub
sequently, as President, he repeatedly
urged it's establishment and sin his last
will and testament left $25 900 in stocks
as first endowment, the interest to be
compounded. Had Congress fostered the
| plan this sum would now be nearly $5,-
| 100000.
The idea thus cherished by the Father
| OF his county was also indorsed by Presi-
dents John Adams, jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, John Quincy Adams and Jack
son, and in more recent years by Presi-
dents Grant and Hayes. During all this
| time the measure was advocated by men
the most distinguished for learning and
craftsmanship, but owing to the lack of
organized effort, nothing practical was
accomplished.A

HIBERNIANs IN FAVOR.

Rome, December 1.-THE Vatican. it
is semi-officially announced, has approved
the proposed visit of Mr.. Martinelli,
the papal delegate to the Roman Catholic
church in the United States to Ireland
for three weeks. 1t is pointed out that
this approval is regarded es sign that
Hibernianism is regaining favor In the
Vatican.
Other signs of this are said to be the
retirement of Mr.. Schroeder from the
University at Washington and the high
moral position gained at Rome by Arch
bishop Keane who, it is thought, is like
ly to be made cardinal.

WAR AGAINST CIVIL SERVICE.

Washington, December 12.--If the pres
ent programme shall be carried out Con-
gress will adjourn for the holiday recess
next Saturday. The week in the House
promises to be made memorable by tho
formal Inauguration OF the war against
civil service law. The legislative, execu.
tive and judicial appropriation bills
which will be taken up on Tuesday con-
tains the regular appropriations for the
civil service commission and whether or
not all the members who favor the repeal
of modification of the law, unite to strike
down the provision for it's maintenance
as the quickest and most direct method
of crippling its operation. Undoubtedly
some will advocated this course and the
whole civil service question will be
dragged into the arena OF debate. How
long this debate will last it is impossible
to predict, but as this is the only item
inEthe bill which attracts much of a con-
test Chairman Cannon hopes and be-
lieyes the bill can be passed before Satur-
day. This latter day, under an order
made on Thursday has been set aside for
paying tribute to the memory of the late
Representative Cook of Illinois. Tonor-
row Chairman Hit of the foreign affairs
committee will again seek to secure the
passage of the bill to prevent pelagic
sealing by citizens of the United States.
There is some very strong opposition to
the passage of this measure in its present
form and the whole question of the Ber-
ing sea negotiations may be preoipitated
when it is called up. Mr.. Hopkins of H.
linois and other members favor limita-
tion on the period of operation of the act,
if it should be passed, so that, If Great
Britain should refuse to similarly re-
strict its citizens, our citizens may rot
be placed at disadvantage. Others like
Mr.. johnson of North Dakota, think the
extinguishment Of the seal herds in the
near future is certain and are not dis
posed to favor any legislation looking to
the preservation

MEASURE LIKELY TO BE PASSED

Friends of Annexation Likely to Ask That

House War on Civil Service Law VIII


Begin.
Washington, December .12.-The work
OF the Senate go far as it has been mapped
out for the week includes the consider
alton of the immigration bill which
stands on the calendar as the unfinished
business, the probable debate of the CEN
sus bill and the pronounoing of eulogies
upon the late Representative Holman OF
Indiana. The general opinion among
friends OF the measure is that,thereaWlll
be no very strenuous opposition to the
immigration bill and that it may be
passed after brief debate. When sim
liar bill WAS before the Senate last ses-
sion, it had its principal opponent in Sem
ator Gibson of Maryland, and as he has
| retired from the Senate the friends of the
bill are hopeful that no one will be found
who will feel called upon to champion
the opposition. They remember, however,
That when it was necessary, in order to
have the bill become law, to pass 1t over
the Presidents veto, the two-thirds vote
requisite for that purpose could not be
| secured. Hence, while they are hopeful
of the speedy and favorable consideration
Of the bill they realize the possibility of
delay on account of opposing speeches.
There appears to be no reason to doubt
that when the vote shall be reached the
bill will pass.
| BY special arrangement between Sena-
tors Carter and Lodge, in charge respeo-
| lively of the two bills, the immigration
bill will be temporarily displaced on
Tuesday in order to give Mr. Carter an
opportunity to call up the bill privilege
for the next census. When this agree.
ment was made on last Thursday, Sena-
tror Carter expressed the opinion that
very brief debate wouldsbe necessary to
get the bill through, but there are snow
some indications that the civil service
question will be raised in this connec-
tion and if it should, prolonged debate
may bessinaugurated
The friends of annexation on the com.
mittee on foreign affairs, now expecting
to ask the Senate to take up the treaty

of the impossibility OF securing final ao-

cided also upon taking the treaty up az
sucn instead of attempting to secure leg
islation on a joint resolution. They may
postpone their request for consideration
until January.
The Senate leaders express themselves
as agreeable to the House programme fol

day. The Senate eulogies upon the late
Representative Holman will be delivered

has been added to the record of Tangi-

of the hotel lights. S. B. Mullen was
shot to death from behind. There were
two shots fired, one of which penetrated
the brain. Immediately large crowd
oongregated and great excitement pre-
vailed. Sheriff Edwards was notified
and organized a small posse. Blood
hounds will take up the track of the
guilty parties. Why Mullen was killed
is @ mystery. He is an entire stranger
here and could hardly have hand any
con nection with any Of the murders
hereabouts.
