NO MILITARY INSTRUCTION.
War Places Lawrence University in
Peculiar Position.

Appleton, Wis, Aug. 22.-[ Special. /
1t appears that the past war is likely to
have a bearing on the military drill fea-
ture of the Lawrence university curricu-
lum, and in the light OF conferences,
which are 10 be held soon. ii would appear
that this line of school work may be
dropped on account Of the withdrawal of
the detailed officer from this post during
the Spanish war. All the military accou-
trcments. which are III the custody Of the
college authorities. have been removed
from the armory to the stOrerOOms III 9th
err college buildings. President PlantZ
states that unless the school is successful
in its efforts to have another detail made
before the beginning Of the school year,
it is very doubtful whether or not the drill
feature will be continued under student
supervision as was the case after the
withdrawal of the officer il the spring. Ii
the drill is temporarily dropped, the
chances are all i'll favor of the entire
adjustment of this line of work in the
institution for all future time. If Il de-
tail is not secured it will be left with the
students as to whether the work shall be
continued under the supervision Of the
cadet officers. There is to be a confer
ence this evening between President
Plantz and Capt. Fuller, the late military
instructor. and some mode Of procedure
may be fixed upon at this meeting. 1t Is
the hope of the faculty that Capt. Fuller
will be sent back, now that the war is
over.
Military drill has been a feature of the
Lawrence work for the past four years
and has given the school quite boom.
There has been considerable opposition to
the work on the part of the students who
expect to preach the gospel and it is
claimed by these that military training is
not necessary 10 Methodist minister's
life work. AS a rusult of this feeling
there have been number of interesting
college affairs which stirred up considera-
BILE bad blood, notably the court-martial
of an unsubservient cadet last spring.
This feeling makes it doubtful whether
the drill will be resumed if an army Off
Ger is not sent to Appleton.

THAT the nomination of Jesse Stone of
this city for lieutenant-governor by the

for the hOnOrabl and responsible position
of second place upon the Republican

manifestations.
Jesse Stone has lived here for thirty
years. He has large interests here: is an

large dealings with his fellow citizens.
That there has never been the slightest

village Of mound builders. The evidences
are unmistakable. They are in the shape
of mounds built of stone, ranging in
height from 20 to 40 feet, and with a
ditch surrounding each. Never before to
my knowledge were such remains found
SO far to the north.
They are built Of conical blocks of
granite, and are perfect cones. What
they were used for, whether dwellings Or
graves, | was unable to make out.
They are right on the slope of the hill,
overlooking a large lake, which is about
eighty miles long and which is not, so far
as | have been able to ascertain, marked
on the map. The lake is full of fish, and
there is game-mOose, CARIBOU, sheep and
goat IN innumerable numbers. You see
this game everywhere when you get on
top of the ranges. There is nobody in
there but few Indians to disturb them"

By Our Acquisition of the Island
100000 Inhabitants Lost
Spanish Citizenship.
WHAT WILL BECOME OF THESE PEOPLE
Congress Will Likely Be Called Upon
to Confer Citizenship Upon Them
in Special Act.
1t Has Been Usual to Provide for a Bodily
Transfer of People so Conditioned
In the Treaty of Peace Which
Terminates q War.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-In view of the
fact that at noon Tuesday, with the
acquisition of the island of Porto Rico
by the United States, about 500, 900 in
habitants of that island lost their
Spanish citizenship, the question as to
what shall become of these people po-
litically becomes OF Importance. Mad
rid advices report that the leading cit
izens in Porto Rico have alre lady taken
steps to become naturalized as United
States citizens. This is an error, for
the existing law provides no way in
which this change of citizenship can
be effected by the residents of the is
land. There is no United States court
there before which a declaration of in
tention can be filed, and in fact nc
machinery at all which can be put in
motion to change citizenship.
Inquiry into this subject at the state
department discloses the fact that it
has been usual to provide for bodily
transfer of the citizenship of people
conditioned as those in Porto Rico in
the treaty of peace which terminates a
war. 1t may be prudent for The com
mission at Paris to avoid any refer.
ence to Porto Rico again, in which
case congress will be called upon by
the president to confer citizenship up.
on the Porto Ricans in the
same act as that which must
be passed to provide stable
form of government for the is
land Should either of these
courses be found impracticable, how.
ever, it is said at the department that
International law in its operation
would confer American citizenship
upon these Porto Ricans, the general
principal being that where treaty o.
cession is silent upon the subject oi
citizenship changes with the soil In
the case of the acquisition Of New
Mexico the residents of the territory
were given American citizenship by
specific provision of the treaty.
