A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
Women Fake Hold of a Patriotic Movement

| Women Fake Hold of Patriotic Movement
TO Carry Out WashnGton's Idea.
Washington, November 16-The oft
agitated question OF establishing in the
city of Washington great national uni
versity on the lines suggested by Presi-
dent Washington, has at last taken
definite form, number of representa-
tive American women having taken hold
of the project with a determination to
| push it to successful conclusion They
have started cut in practical manner
necessary for the erection of an ad-
! ministration building to form the
| nucleus of the university and hope to
be able to lay the cornerstone on Feb
ruary %, 1899. Their purpose in the
interim is to urge the matter continu-
ously on the attention of women all
over the country. They intend likewise
to interest all the school children in
the work. AS first step for awaken
ing interest in the undertaking they
will assemble in convention in Wash
ingtOn on December IA, to decide on
ways and means for arousing public
sentiment.
Among those who have initiated the
movement to fulfill Washington's wish
are Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, of this city;
Mrs. Ellen A. Richardson, Of Boston;
Mrs. Clara R. Anthony, Miss Rachel
Rowland, Miss Louise Thicker and Mrs.
Edmund Anthvnsr, Ir of MaSsachu-
sets; Mrs. l. S. Boyd, of George, Mrs
w. A. Roebling, of New Jersey; Mrs.
John K. Goodloe, Kentucky; Mrs. H. H.
Adams, Connecticut; Mrs. C. S. Brice,
Ohio; Mrs. Eugene Hale, Mrs. David
Starr Jordan, DR.. Charlotte Blake
Brown, Mrs. F. S. Hubbard and Miss
Caroline Jackson, of California.
Mrs. Ella A. Richardson, of Boston,
chief organizer of the movement, writ
ing to Mr. George Harries, Of this city,
of the plans THUS far formed said: "The
patriotic ladies Of America are to build
the administration building, and they
propose, asking no large contributions,
begging nothing. Americas 100000
people must build this great monument.
If the 100000 children in the public
schools in America would give an Of
fering of one penny each on Washing
toms birthday they would raise sum
sufficient to erect the building and en-
dow it. Let us, then, join hands and
have an American University, Ameri-
can sciences and American ideas for
American citizens"
! Mrs. Richardson further stated that
she has arranged with the proper au-
thority that the bureau of engraving
and printing shall produce certificates
which will be given to those who con-
tribute to the movement.

in which he spoke of the action of the
German minister as "a regrettable in

Acting entirely upon his own Volt
ton, Mr.. Powell, the United States min
lister, addressed letters to the Hay
tian minister for foreign affairs, re-
questing that Mr. Lueders be released.
The Haytian minister then, as an act
of courtesy to the United States, re-
leased Mr.. Lueders, but at the same
time officially expelled him from the
country. He left at once for Berlin,
where he laid his case before the Ger
man government.

SPANS SUBSTITUTE FOR TELE-
PHONES.

In Spain, where the telephone is
largely used in place of the telegraph,
an ingenious application of the phono-
graph to record the telephone mes
sages has been made. The receiving
operator repeats the message into o
photograph, from which it can after
ward be transcribed at leisure. This
saves the delay caused by writing the
message during its reception and in
sures greater accuracy, because the
repetition of the message for the phon-
ograph is heard simultaneously by the
original sender at the other end of the
line.

4 HONEYMOON WILL.

Octosenarian buckingham Left $50 600 20
His Second Wife and Disinherited His
Son.
Bridgeport, Conn, November ia
honeymoon will, in which aged Samuel
Buckingham, of Lakewood, N. j., prac-
tically disinherited his son and left his
estate to his second wife and two nep-
hews, is being contested in the Hunting
ton Probate Court. Buckingham, who
was nearly an octogenarian when his
first wife died, eight months after mar
ried his washerwoman, who was thirty
years his junior.
DR.. Frederick S. Buckingham, the son,
has been practicing physician in Lake
wood, N. j., for fourteen years, and
prior to that was associated in the prac-
tice Of law in New York city with the
late Austin Abbott, dean of the Univers-
ity Law School. His father died two
weeks ago in the home Of his daughter,
Mrs John Latin, in StratfordI
The will was sent to a bank in this
city with other private papers and when
it was opened it was learned that only
$50 had been left to DR.. Buckingham.
The widow of the testator, who was I'M
til last May, Mrs. Ellen J. Reilly, Of
Lakewood, a widow of humble circum-
stances, who did washing for aged
wooer, receives $1,000, and two nep-
hews, Walliam Valentine Latin, of
of Stratford, and Harry Buckingham,
are to receive the residue of the estate,
estimated at $4,000. Mr.. Buckingham,
at the time of his marriage, on May II,
1897, was rs years old. Mr.. and Mrs.
Buckingha came to Connecticut on their
honeymoon, and ON May "a he had
new will drawn at Shelton.
After the death of my fathers wife,
ingham, my father, Samuel Z. Buck
ingham, who at the time was in very
precarious condition of health, left
Stratford, where he was then residing,
and went in the care of my wife to live
with me at Lakewood, N. j. There, I'M
der the care and attention of my family,
he was nursed back from feeble con-
dition to one Of comfortable health. My
father resided with me continuously
from the first of September, 1896, till
May last, when he went directly from
my house to the place where he married
on the same day the woman who is now
his widow.
Naturally there was some objection
by me to the marriage of man IS years
old whom l knew to be sick beyond cure
with serious heart disease and other in
firmities, especially when the first wife,
my mother, had been dead only eight
months. The social position of the wo-
an whom he married was also a ma
tural reason for objection on my part.
Ny friendly and filial relationship with
my father was not altered by the mar
riage, and after the return from the
wedding trip to Connecticut he fire.

undue influence was used by his wife
while they were on their bridal tour.

| Correspondence Associated Press.
Kingston, Jamaica, November s.
| The threatened rupture between Ger
many and Hayti has so far been annie
ably settled, thanks to the mediation
of United States Minister Powell
| though it is still understood that Ger
| many intends to make naval demon
| stration in Haytian waters. The Ger
man version of the trouble has already
been published.
The Haytian side of the dispute is to
the effect that it arose cut of the i'm
prisonement Of Herr Emile Lueders
the son of the German who married q
Haytian woman. Up to short time
ago Lueders was Haytian citizen, but,
it is said, having been concerned in
various little affrays, among which
are mentioned four duels, he seemingly
deemed it wise to change his nation
atty, and registered bis name at the
German consulate.
For an assault upon cab driver, said
to have been unprovoked, to which Lue-
ders, it is said, pleaded guilty, ne was
sentenced to one months imprison-
ment. He appealed from the decision
to the correctional court, and the sent
ence was altered, he being sentenced to
one years seclusion and a fine of 500
francs. A further appeal was pending
when the German minister interfered
without invitation, and, it is claimed,
forced his way into the private apart
ment of Tirresias Simon Sam, the pres
ident of the Hatyian republic, and in a
rude and peremtory manner, demanded
the release of Lueders, with an apol-
ogy to the German government, an in
demnity Of $1,000 day for the time he
had been in prison, the immediate trial
dismissal of the judges who sentenced
him. If the prisoner were not released
NlChlh lWCAty nun tlC
nifty was to be $4,000 per day for every
day afterward.
Naturally the president resented the
insult which had been offered him, and
firmly but politely referred the minister,
Count Schwerein, who is charge DAT
1alres of the German empire at Port
Au Prince, to the minister of foreign
affalrs, whose duty it was to enter into
such matters. The German minister
demanded that Simon Sam snoulu COM
ply with his demands, and meeting with
a refusal, cabled to Berlin for instruc-
tions. A reply having been received,
he hauled down his flag and announced
that three German war vessels were on
their way to Port Au Prince to see that
the most reasonable demands of the
consul were granted.
This news becoming public property
reused the Haytians to a fever heat Of
excitement and indignation, and even
the American and British residents felt
that it was an attempt to cOerce a
weak state, and that the Haytians, de-
spite their feebleness, were bound to
resist it. Many of them, indeed, offer
ed their services to the Haytian govern
ment as volunteers in the event Of any
trouble occurring.
Feeling the current of public opinion
and certainty of support in any defen-
sive action which he might take, the
president called in as many troops as
could be reached at short notice, the
barracks were filed, ammunition was
served out and every preparation made
for a struggle.
The foreign minister addressed a let
ter to the diplomatic corps, inclosing

anxiously all day for the slated box
ing bout between Joe Ulman and Jack
Williams assembled tonight around
the arena to witness the match.
Both men appeared confident when
they stepped into the ring. At the
call of time both began the customary
tiddling for an opening. They soon
got to work, however, and the fight
ing grew heavy, Williams having de-
cidedly the best of the first three
rounds.
In the fourth round Ulmau came up
groggy, only to be knocked down by
Williams, who, in rage, jumped
upon the PROSTATE form of his fallen
antagonist and savagely stamped him
in the face. At this juDcture the po-
lice put a stop to the fight. Both men
fOuled each other repeatedly during
the fight, which was declared draw

Attempt to Blow Up Governor
Smith Of the National Sol
dierS' Home.
RESIDENCE A COMPLETE WRECK.
Governor and Family Escape Uninjured, But
Mrs. Smith is Frustrated By
the Shock.

LeavenwOrth, Kan, June 1l.-A dia-
bolical attempt was made on the life
of Governor Andrew j. Smith of the
national soldiers home and his wife
and daughter between and 5 a. m.
today by some bastard, as yet un-
known. Dynamite was employed in
the outrage, and an explosion which
all but demolished the governors
beautiful residence aroused the resi-
dents of the city, and houses trembled
as If undergoing earthquake shocks.
Mrs. Smith had miraculous escape,
the base of the explosion being d.
recty beneath her bed chamber. Be.
sides being cut and bruised by broken
glass and pieces of flying brio a brac
and furniture, she was completely
prostrated by the frightful shock and
is now in a precarious condition. The
governor and his daughter, Miss
Daisy, occupy rooms on the second
floor and were far enough from the
explosion to escape serious conse-
quences.
