A New Terror For Tutors.

Dueling has shown a new develop
ment in Germany. The university stU-
dent is no longer content with disdguv.
ing the noses, chns and cheeks of his
friends to avenge supposed insults or
with gaining the glory of scarification
himself He aspires to greater enter
prises and is determined no longer to
stand the tyranny Of his professors and
examiners. The president Of the Berlin
university had the misfortune the other
day to plow student in an examination
for the twelfth time. This candidate Tor
academic honcrs resolved no longer to
tolerate such repeated insults, and forth
with sent the president challenge by
fellow student The president, however,
refused to comply with the polite re-
quest of pistols for two and coffee for
one, or of swords and holsters In the
park in the early morning. But he a1s
not sent the bloodthirsty undergraduate
for q change in the country, as he might
we'll have done The students of Berlin
have dubbed the professor a coward.
But the German press thinks that his
decision not to accept the challenge IS,
on the whole, justified. They argue it
would never do for the undergraduate
at a university to be able to appeal to
arms if plowed in an examination. And
there is certainly something from the
professors side to be said for this view

TELLS HOW II HAPPENED
HOW CALIFORNIA GOT LEFT on
THE HAWAIIAN COMMISSION.
Senator Perkins and His Friends were
a Little Late in Getting Morris NJ.
Estee's Name to the President

Senator Perkins and the California
delegation in Washington had it all
cut and dried that California was to
be represented on the Hawaiian COM
mission and that II. NJ. Estee was to
be the man. When he reached home
after Congress adjourned the Senator
was asked how it happened that no
one from the Pacific Coast was select
ed to serve on the commission and
that two statesmen from Illinois and
one from Alabama were chosen. lie
told the story of the failure in this
style:
The measure passed the Senate on
Thursday evening, and the next NOR
ming ! called on Judge Day. Secretary
of State. and submitted to him that
the Pacific Coast, by reason of proN-
unity and commercial relations with
the Islands. was entitled to recogni-
ton on the commission. He was of
the same opinion. holding that one of
the commissioners should be a resi-
dent of this coast. Thereupon I said
that | knew a man, a lawyer of abil-
ity and a public man of wide eNpe-
rience who would be able to renter
the country good service in the ca
pacitv spoken of. ! said this man
was Norris VI. Estee. On my own re-
sponsibility I mentioned Mr.. Estee's
name. / had no authority from him
to do so, but was convinced that he
would fill the position to the satisfac-
ton of the people of the Pacific coast.
Judge Day commended the sugges-
ton and expressed the hope that the
name would he presented to the Pres
ident without delay. had an APP
pointment elsewhere bur ! went at
once to see Judge McKenna, knowing
that the Judge was in the confidence
of the President. and that he might
exercise much influence in securing
the appointment of Mr.. Estee. Judge
McKenna approved the suggestion to
ask the President to appoint Mr.. Es-
tee and we started to see the Presi-
dent. when we learned that the APP
pointments had been announced
II was taken by surprise continu.
ed Senator Perkins. at seemed to
me that the President used the
same pen. before the ink was dry
with which he signed the message &c
sign the appointments or Morgan
Cullom aud Hit. | expected some lit.
tie time would be given to considera.
ton of names for the places. No. the
delegation from California I'D not &C
with me to see the President. the
Secretary of State or Judge McKenna
| was in a sense doing the work of a

clear the way for the delegation"

last night went to Rio Tarquino TO
