DIR. ANDREWs's REsIGNArIoM
Congressman walker Says ne started tho AEi
tntion In tho Brown University Case.

New HAMPTON, N. H.. Aug. 4.-Congressman
Joseph II. Walker of Massachusetts, said here
to-day that he was personally responsible for
starting the agitation at Brown University
which led to the resignation Of President An.
drews. Mr.. Walker is a member of tho Board
of Trustees of tho university. He said he did
this because President Andrews's utterances
were at variance with the views of the corpora
tion on the question of a national financial
policy. On this subject Mr., Walker said:
Had President OF a college during the civil
war taken pains publicly to teach the doctrine
of the right OF the individual States to secede,
justifying the position Of such States and claim
Ing that the rights Of the citizens Of those States
keep him In his position 1t is the unanimous
opinion Of the corporation of Brown University
that the question upon which DR.. Andrews is at
variance with 1t Is far more vital to the well
upon which tho civil war was fought; in fact.
that this question is funt lental TO the con-
tinued progress of Christian civilization"
Referring to the protest of some members of
the faculty against the action of the corporation
Mr.. Walker said:
II have read the protest very carefully. and it
still further very seriously complicates the stu.
alton. The corporation did not demand DIR. An
ence with its chief executive officer. That is
all. In. turning from the corporation, every
one OF whom was his friend, TO the
public. and taking the position he has
by himself. and by the position OF the faculty. l
cannot see how, by any possibility. the relations
which must necessarily exist between the Prcsi.
dent OF q university and the corporation can be
reestablshed."
Congressman Walker maintained that DR.. An

Hiring Lumbermen In Canada to Work for
$40 n Month ON the Yukon.
OTTAWA, Aug. 4.-Agents for leading tim
ber firm. with headquarters at Ottawa, have
been engaging men to 20 to the Klondike coun-
try as rivermen. The wages offered, $40 a
month, arc certainly not excessive in compar-
ison with the inducements Of $40 to 81 5 per day
offered for miners on the spot. But the prospect
for employment In the lumber woods here is
rather unpromising at present. Consignments
of lumber have been hurried forward for The
past few months in anticipation of the Dinglcy
bill duties. until the United States market is
pretty well stocked for year ahead. Besides
the imposition of the 81 rate assures n cessation
Of shipments. at least until the present supply
is absorbed, so that the cut bids fair to be less
than minimum one for the next two seasons.
Under these circumstances the offer of employ
ment In the Yukon district is looked upon as a
bonanza. and the agents are H. wing their pick OF
the best rivermen in the district As miners
these men may not count for a great deal but in
the all-important work Of getting there"
and OF getting in carly supplies to the Klondike,
via the head waters Of the Yukon, their expert.

for three weeks, left Columbus. o., to-day for
Darlington, KY. where are situated the st. Bcr-
nard Companys mines employing 1000 men,
and from which much coal has been shipped
through Indiana for Chicago, much to the ag-
gravation of Indiana miners. The Indiana men
have insisted that effort should be made to
stop the production In Kentucky as well in
West Virginia and the Pittsburg districts. and
the National Executive Board has needed their
request by sending Knight to Kentucky. He Is
TO be followed by other organizers. In former
strikes tho United Mine Workers have been un.
able TO get near the mines. They are guarded
by armed men, and the emissaries usually camo
away glad to he alive.
State Secretary Kennedy says there is no
ground for the apprehension that publ ic service
plants may shut down for want of coal. At tho
recent meeting OF the National Executive Board
IL was decided that not hing should be done to
prevent the mining and shipment OF coal in

There has been no exaggeration. have seen
nothing in newspapers in regard to the richness
Of the field that is not true. Great strike have
been made. but the amount OF gold is unlimited.
There are hundreds OF creeks rich in gold bearing
placers never yet entered by prospectors OF
course all the claims in the crooks now opened
believe. OF much greater finds Some men I
know, who struck paying streaks. took out as
much as S2O0.OOO. Others averaged between
300, 900 and 5000 900, while others again only
ranged from 5000 TO $4,000.
do not anticipate any starvation in tho
country this year; Most of the miners who
companies will be able to supply any dcficicncy.
1t Is wrong for any one to attempt a trip TO tho
gold country in winter. The trip Is bad enough
one in other seasons but IL Is practically i'm
possible during the wintcr. only know OF thrce
or four persons who ever attempted the journey
In winter aud were successful
In summer II takes about thirty days to

ana even after that Is past a difficult and dan.
Eerous work is still in store for the traveller.
The best work at the mines Is done in winter.
Fires are built on the frozen ground and il 10
