Has Been Offered Control of New
Institution.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., July 30.-Dr. E.
Benjamin Andrews, who recently re-
signed his position at the head of
Brown University, has accepted the
presidency of a new university, the
founder of which is John Brisbin
Walker, of New York. In the last
Presidential campaign the latter was
on the silver side of the contest, and
handsomely entertained William }.
Bryan at his home on the Hudson. In
many of their ideas and opinions Upon
leading political and financial ques-
tions President Andrews and Mr..
Walker are said to agree.
In speaking of the new enterprise,
President Andrews said: THE new
college will be big affair, with view
TO the widespread dissemination OF
Education. 1t will be a popular instltu-
ton. designed upon new ideas. Inc
nlan will be to meet problems mat
come constantly before the people, and
which are to be solved under the pre-
vailing conditions of the time at Whlcn
such questions arise. There Will be an
advisory board of 10 men, chosen from
the brightest and rarest minds In me
whole country. The great purpose OF
the new university will be to reach
the masses who have not the means to
secure entrance to the existing unlVer-
stiles of the country.
A protest has been made by the pro-
fessors of the university to the corpor-
alton against the action Of the latter
body with reference to Professor An
drews. and asks for a reconsideration
of the whole matter. The document
laws stress on the Importance OF free
dom of thought and speech, and espec-
tally in a university where there should
be no such things as political prejudice.
The fact is emphasized that there has
been a remarkable increase IN the
number of students since DR.. Andrews
became president. The remonstranre
is signed by a majority of the profess

HEcIPRocITY AND RETALIATION

Were Two Phases of the Tari6 Biil to Ocs E cupy the Senate's Attention Yestertaay
 Washington, July 2-Reciprocity and retaliation were the two phases of tha
 tariff bill to occupy the attention of the
 senate to-day to the exclusion of all
 other subjects. Both provisions were
 agreed to. although the debate on the reciprocity clause was protracted to 6 |p. m. Shortly before adjournment MT. Allison endeavored to secure an agree ment on the time for final vote. but MT. Teller would not consent to fixing the time until all proposed amendments had been submitted to the senate. As MT. Allison was not prepared to- submit these amendments he withdrew his request and the time for the final vote was left open, although there iaS still hope that it will be reached to- morrow. The retaliatory clause pro- vides that whenever any country be-
 slows an export bounty on any article. then upon the importation of such ar ticle into the United States there shall
 be levied in addition to the duties pro- vided by the act, an additional duty equal to the amount of the bounty. The
 debate on this section disclosed some
 difference of opinion on the democratiU side MT. Gray of Delaware and Mr.. Lindsay opposing 1t, while MT. Caffrey of Louisiana supported it as a legiti-s mate measure. The clause was agreed | to 33-19. The two democratic senators 1 from Louisiana, Caffrey and McEnery, voted with the republicans in the affir- | native.

SPECIAL CURRENCY MESSAGE. President Mckinley Has Not Decided to
Address, Congress on tha ouestion.


 Washington, July 2.-The question whether the president will send a spe- cial message to congress recommending the creation of currency commission will be definitely decided next week. The president is strongly inclined at this time to send special currency message to congress, regarding himself pledged to this course. In fact, it was semi officially announced at the white house late this afternoon that such a message would be sent to congress next week, but some of his most influential advisers on financial questions are op- posed to message as impolitic at this time, owing to hostility to a commits sion on the part of congress, and the final determination, as stated. will not be reached until MT. McKinIey's return from Canton.
 The executive committee of the h. dianapolis sound money convention has been actively advocating the commis- sion scheme ever since the advent of the present administration It had also the sympathy of the president, who committed himself to it in his inaugu- y not care to recommend it to congress while the tariff bill was pending, lest it might complicate and delay action upon that measure. But all along the chief difficulty which presented itself to those who favored a commission for the investigation of the currency sys- tenn has been the opposition it would encounter in congress.
 While bill for the creation of the commission could easily be passed in the house, where faction opposition would be unavailing against the oper- alton of cloture order that would bring it to vote, such opposition in the senate might be almost intermina- ble. Several Of the silver senators have openly avowed their unalterable hostil- ity to the creation of commission, and Senator Teller has declared that he would remain here until December to defeat 1t.
 This being the situation, it is under stood that some of the members of the executive committee of the Indianapolis convention are now inclined to believe that it would be mistake to appoint 6 commission by congress. The better and wiser thing to do, some of them think, would be to withdraw the re- quest for a commission. The matter was under discussion at the cabinet meeting to-day, but not in a manner to lead to definite conclusion of policy and the matter went over until the presidents return next week

A meeting of the finance committee of the general committee arranging for the reception and entertainment of the delegates to the fire chiefs convention to be held in this city next month was held last evening. Some time ago re- quests were sent to citizens asking for subscriptions to make up the amount of money needed to entertain the visit ors, and last evening it was announced that the response to these requests has been generous, but that still more mon- ey is needed in order to make up the s, 800 which 1t is desired to raise from subscriptions. The city has appropri- ated s1.500 to the committee, and it is expected that the entire amount need ed will be about S3,500.

Evidence Against Mrs. Mack and Thorn
 Accumulating-The Formers Ride Last
 Saturday and What She Did-Thorn
 Traced to MontreaI-Police Still Chasing
 Clues.
 New York, July 2.-The World to- morrow will say: Guilt of the murder of William Guldensuppe was brought nearer home to Mrs. Mack and Martin Thorn yesterday. Reporters of the :, World in the Identical surrey in which Mrs. Mack took her famous ride last Saturday, followed the course of that journey and discovered facts which in- dicate that the party in the surrey on Saturday consisted of Mrs. Mack. Thorn and another woman, whose identity ia suspected.
 That to dispose of a portion of the body or of other discriminating articles was the purpose of the drive.
 That on their way at a secluded spot near the village of Cliff Side they burned certain things. probably oloth- ing, which had been stained with blood.
 That from this place they could have gone. and probably went. to the spot near the Harlem river at One Hundred and Seventy-sixth street, where on Sun day. the next day, the bundle which contained the second fragment of thes body was found
 That they then drove back towards their home and were seen passing through One Hundred and Twenty-flfth street at high speed at about niua o'clock.
 That the surrey was returned to its owner at about 9:3O o'clock. Mrs. Mack and the other women having left 1t.
 The World through its correspon- dents and reporters, has traced Thorn from this city to Saratoga, thence ta Montreal l,where he went with the avow4 ed intention of taking a steamer to Eu- rope. Two steamers sailed from thera Thursday. They will stop at Quebec and other points before setting beyond police reach.
 Chief of Detectives O.Brien said to- night that he was more convinced than ever that Mrs. Mack is implicated ixl tha murder. He is certain that the assas- sination was planned in Mrs. Nack's apartments in this city. O'Brien is equally certain that Mrs Riger's fien- tification of the purchaser of the table oil cloth is of value.

FOUR COMPANIES GO UNDER.
New Usury Law 2n Kentucky Causes
 Serious Disaster.

Serious Disaster.
 Louisville, Ky, July 2.-Within sev- enty-two hours four building and loan associations whose estimated assets and liabilities foot up ever a million and a quarter dollars have gone to the wall in this city, finding it impossi- ble to conduct business under the re- cent decision Of the court of appeals in regard to the legal rate of interest.
 The Kentucky Citizens Building and Loan associatio went under to-day with assets and liabilities of s212, 900 each. President Fred Hoertx said that before the consitusionality Of the law under which building and loan associa- tiors operated In this state was attack ed, they were prospering, but since the appellate court had decided that all tn- terest charged or collected over 6 per cent. constituted usury, they have found 1t impossible tosoarry on business except at a loss. He said that he thought all, or nearly every such cor poration in the state that did business under the law referred to would go under.
 At the offices Of all the building and loan associations in the state the great est uneasiness prevails and stockhoid- CTS are hourly giving notice of with drawals. It is the general opinion among local financiers that the building and loan business has suffered Its deatb-blow in Kentucky and thousands, perhaps millions of dollars will be lost to t:ie shareholders in these institu- tions.

 A projection of the Water streeu bridge was struck and the lightning also struck near the cab stand at Union depot and tore a deep hole in the ground.
 During the storm the burglary alarm wire connecting the Connecticut Saw ings bank with police headquarters was struck by lightning and the alarm at headquarters was started ringing.

 In Cheshire the storm was especially severe and was there accompanied by a strong wind, almost a cyclone Trees were uprooted and some orchards were almost entirely destroyed. The Cheshire Brass company's barn was lifted from
 
 fifty feet into the river A horse was in the barn at the time, but he broke loose and escaped without injury.
 At the barn of MT. Andrews in Mix vile MT. Wooding and son were at work unloading hay when the barn was carried from its foundation by the strong wind and deposited on the op- posite side of the street, neither of the men in the building at the time being injured.
 The peach orchard of Mir. Hitchcock was entirely destroyed, nearly all the peach trees being uprooted.
 During the storm unusually large hail stones fell, in Cheshire, and so large were they that windows in some resi- dences were broken by them The storm was pronounced by old residents the severest that has occurred in that town for many years

ANOTHER INDIAN MUfINYe
Affairs in the Penninsula Look Very Omi-
 nous.

Bombay, July 2.-The assassins of Lieutenant Ayerst of the commissariat corps, who was shot and killed by con- cealed natives while leaving the gover- nor's reception at Ganeshkind on the evening of June 22, Jubilee day, Plague Commissioner Rand being dangerously at large The aggressive attitude of the natives prior to the shootings was remarked There were whisperings of impending disaster to Europeans, and it is thought that the whole native com munity, including the police, had fore knowledge that something was going to happen. On Jubilee night a delayed anonymous letter arrived at Commis- sioner Rand's bungalow, saying: You will die to-day and the queen will die two days after. Many others will fol- low, and the soldiers will all be killed" :"
 Threatening letters have been receiv- ed by other Europeans. During the progress of the plague prominent Hin doos made violent accusations against the British soldiers, charging them with robbing, ravishing and ill-treating all who came in contact with them.
 The allegations that the Brahmins are responsible for the murders which have recently occurred are repudiated vigorously. The whole matter is caus- ing the gravest disquiet in official cir cles
 London, July 2.-The newspapers of this city express anxiety at the occur rences in India, intimating that the mass of the natives there are less con- tent under British rule than was gen. orally believed, and that a rebellion of unpleasant proportions may be threat ening. Constant communications are passing between the Indian and home governments
