Providence. r. l., Sept. 1.-The corpo-
ration OF Brown University held meet
ing here today behind closed doors and
every precaution was taken 70 keep the
proceedings secret. The attendance was
large The meeting was called to order
by DR.. Andrews. but he retired few
minutes later and Rev. Alvah Hovey D.
O., of Newton Theological school, took
the Chair.
The early part Of the session was TAX
en- up mainly by routine business.
Among the matters which came up dur
ing the session was the presentation OF
a letter from ex-Secretary Of State Will
liaf Oiney, addressed to the faculty and
bearing upon the controversy between
the corporation and President Andrews
The letter is as follows:
Boston, Mass, Aug. 5, 1897.
Professor Benjamin Clarke, ]. Frank
lin Jameston, Henry B. Gardner, and
others:
Gentlemen: I thank you heartily for
a pamphlet copy Of letter bearing your
signatures mad entitled IAN Open Let
ter Addressed to the Corporation OF
Brown University by Members of the
Faculty Of that Institution
Nothing could be better in manner.
1t presents the grave issues raised by
the unfortunate action Of the corpora
ton with singular lucidity and logical
force, and deals with them in temper
and spirit which are every way admir-
able. As you may know I do not agree
with what 1 understand DR.. Andrews
vies TO be respecting the free coinage OF
silver. 1 strongly deprecate the action
OF the corporation, indeed. upon the pre-
else grounds that nothing could be bet
ter calculated to give currency and
weight to those views-just as nothing
cause of ariff reform than an attempt by
the authorities Of Hazard college to dis
cipline President Elliot for his we'll
known sentiments respecting ''freer
trade"
''The true objection, however, to the
course pursued towards DR.. Andrews by
the corpora ton of Brown University is
its implied inculcations Of the doctrine
that an institution OF learning should,
above all hngs, get rich, and, therefore,
should square its teachings and limit the
utterances of its faculty by the interests
and sentiments Of those who, for the
time being. are the rich men of the COM
munity. The demoralizing and degrad-
ing character Of this doctrine your let
ter fully exposes and thereby entities
you to the gratitude, not only of Ameri-
can citizens generally, but of all we'll
wishers to Brown University in particu-
lar.
81 remain. with great respect, yours
very truly, RICHARD OLNEY."

WASHINGTON, January 30.-Secre-

Great Britain for the demarkation of
80 much of the 41st meridian as may be
necessary for the determination of the
boundary between the respective pos
sessions of the two coun tries in North
America. The president will send this

for ratification.
The convention provides for a COM

fine the boundary between the British
possessions and Alaska, and it is be-
lieved it will settle the controversy

Buell's treatment of an inguinal

eating an unsuccessful treatment.

and trust he will be as successful with

Congressional Notes.

WASHINGTON, January 30.=The ar
bitration treaty has been ordered fav
orably reported to senate by the for
eign relations committee, after being
amended.
After the transaction of few mat
ters of unimportant legislation the
house went into committee of the
whole for the further consideration of
the agricultural bill.
Hubbard, of Missouri, opposed the
cabinet commission bill on the Pacific
railroad and offered a substitute to
it prepared by himself, which is
very sweeping in its provisions. 1t pro-
vides for a commission of thirteen
members appointed by the president
to receive $4,000 each without
regard to the length OF service,
the commission to have full power to
settle Indebtedness or extend the debt.
1t brings within the jurisdiction of the
commission the Union Pacific, Kansas
Pacific. Central Pacific, Western Pa
cifc, Sioux City and Pacific, Atchison
and Pixies Peak company and the Cen
tral branch of the Union Pacific rail-
road
