Consul Kemper, who has recently
returned from Annoy, China, has
been giving his views upon the
Celestial Empire to the United
States press. He says all the talk
of the awakening of the Chinese is
without enough foundation to war
rant the statement. The recent war
has taught them no lesson. This
agrees with what Curzon has said
in his book, and also with Young
husbands observations. AS was
said in these columns a few days
ago, defeat in China is readily
transmitted into victory and, if an
indemnity has to be paid, the mass
of the people is made to think that
the Chinese Government is paying
the money as a kindly grant to a
Inundated power. AS an instance
of the lack of progressive ideas,
Consul Kemper cites that com
pany attempted some time ago, tc

prevail of an oficial-probably the
figure of the insult" offered wa:

own nation and the sincerity of any
other-would never have gained
their victory.
No Annexation will come, and
with it will come the sense of peace
which, resting under the safe sha-
dow of great power, will give us.
AS we now stand, there is an ever
haunting dread once given annex
alton, and the dread will pass away.
Thus all will work, and work hard
for the cause, feeling satisfied that
in all and any periods of depression
our hope will buoy us up-will
stiffen our lips and make our grip
the stronger and that it is, indeed,
a "foregone conclusion" that the
Stars and Stripes will float over the
Government building, and the Ha-
waiian Islands become an integral
part of the United States.

The suggestion of P. c. Jones
that small charge be made for the
baseball game on Monday is emin-
emily practical. For similar games
elsewhere a charge is made, and
the proceeds handed over to some
local charity. The poor we have
ever with us, and our charitable
institutions have their resources
ever strained to the very utmost.
So easy method of getting money
for a good cause should not be lost,
and The Star heartily endorses Mr..
Jones suggestion.

4 Plea for the Poor.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
/. for one, heartily indorse Rev. w. S.
Rainsford's criticisms on Mrs. Bradley
Martins ball. No one questions her legal
right TO spend money i'm any way that does
not conflict with the rights of others. but
the best way of spending large sums OF
money involves many nice questions in
ethics. One Indianapolis lady thinks IL Is
better to spend the money i'm giving her
friends pleasure than to give II TO the poor.
Now, granted that il is right and proper TO
give pleasure where possible. might IL rot
give greater and more lasting pleasure TO
expend a quarter of a million dollars for
destitute or struggling people because one
thought enough OF them TO give them a
good time than for one nights revel for
those friends who already have many lux
uries and pleasures? 1t is TO be hoped that
while the people interested in that grand
bali study history in order to correctly
fashion their fancy dresses that they will
be led to ponder long and seriously the
causes of the French revolution and that
all women who are interesting themselves
in questions relating to duty. civil govern
ment and. shall / add woman's rights. may
learn 20 be righteous first. generous. If pos
sible. but never wasteful.
How / should enjoy my Journal Feb. IL
IL some such startling headline as this met
my eyes: Mrs. Bradley-Nartin and COM
mitter COMPOSED of the moneyed citizens OF
New York entertained the poor AT the WAL
dcrf last night" useful and beautiful pres
ents were distributed. The tickets Of adj

money. especially by women. Is often more
a matter of chance than merit. and the
indolent rich may waste their strength at

ness of the poor. Only the strong. generous
and compassionate woman can ever truly
merit the title of Lady BOuntiful."

UNIVERSITY BLOCKADED
BIG INSTITUTION At ATHENS SUR
ROUNDED BY SOLDIERS.
Dismissal of n Professor Demanded
by NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. RiOt-Case
of Col. Cecil Rhodes.

LONDON. Jan. 30.-A dispatch TO the
Telegraph from Athens says that trouble
has been brewing at the university for sew
the students and Prof. Galvelani. The stu
dents finally armed themselves and took
possession of the premises, remaining there
for three days and nights. Yesterday Fri
day. the Grecian government decided to
close the university. A line of troops was
accordinly thrown around the buildings and
the water supply was cut off. 1t was esti-
mated that fully eight hundred students
remained within the walls of the univer-
sity. Those within the buildings were al
lowed TO leave at any time. but admission
was absolutely refused by the troops TO all
persons. A demonstration by the students
who remained on the streets was according
ly planned. Professions OF students at
tempted TO reach the palace for
the purpose of demanding from the
king the dismissal of Professor
Galvelani. The police and the troops re-
sisted the student mob and the authorities
finally ordered firearms discharged in the
air. The students returned the fire. in the
main using reVOlverS. During these alter
cations a boy was killed and several other
persons wounded. AT a meeting of the Cab
met council last Friday) night il was de-
cided to maintain the blockade of the uni
versity buildings until the students yield to
the authorities. The palace and other pub
lie buildings are strongly guarded.
The university was founded in 1887, and
during recent years over 200 students nave
been in annual attendance upon this edu-
cational institution. The staff of the uni
versity consists of fifty-two professors, and
includes the names of some of the most
learned Greek archaeologists in Europe.

No. s, intended to permit Corbett and Fitz-
simmons to fight in this State, is now a

asked tonight if he had ever had any

piled: Il waited to see what a majority
of the people seemed to want, intending
to be entirely guided by their wishes.

because the people were in favor OF the bill
l signed it. OF the merits in argument
made against the glove-contest bill L have
nothing to say. n majority of our citizens
seemed TO wish it and l nave signed it.

Mr.. Wheelock is in San Francisco now,
but before his departure he refused to say
anything concerning the location of the

it will come to Nevada seems almost Ger
tain, but Carson and Reno both claim to
be the favored spots in which it will ac-
tually occur. Reno is on the main line of

ON HIS WIFE'S ACCOUNT.


ST. LOUIS, Jan. 29.-Arthur Palmer, the
murderer of his mother, brother and sister
at MamarOneck. N. Y, is still here await
ing officers from the East to take him back
to the scene of his crime. When seen at
the -Four Courts by a reporter to-day,
Palmer begged that the knowledge of his
arrest be kept from his wife. 1T was on
my wi.e's account" he said, that the kill
ing took place. I married her five years
ago and my people were opposed to the
marriage. They treated her shamefully and
finally drove her from home. We had a lit
tie boy. but he died. Had my people treated
my wife as they should they would be
alive to-day While Palmer was talking,
the tears flowed from his eyes and he wept
like a child. He begged ~piteously that the
news of his arrest be kept from his wife.
Then he ,dpsed into silence from which no
question could arouse him.
A dispatch from New York says: Miss
Gertrude Palmer, who was shot by her
brother Arthur on Jan. Is. the same time
he killed his mother and brother, died to-
day.

Case Of superintendent MoGett.

To tie Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
So much has been said and done to in

enemies that it is time the truth should be

nifty of a few people by correcting their
unruly sons. These enemies. assisted by
an ever-increasing class of soreheads who
have failed TO get schools. or who have
some fancied personal grievance, have pur-
sued him ever since with a determined pur-
pose of revenge. Notwithstanding the fact
that the schools have attained a high
