PRESIDENT GATES MAY RETIRE.

Springfield, Mass, March 1S.-An i'm
portant meeting of the trustees of Am
herst college was held this afternoon in
this city at the Massasoit house. The
trustees voted to give President Gates
years vacation, commencing at the begin
ming of the next college year. 1t is be-
lieVed that this vacation is the beginning
of the end Of the presidents tenure OF
office and it is stated that he will not re-
turn to the college of which he has been
the head for the past six years. President
Gates at his home in Amherst refused
this evening to say word concerning
the meeting. Earlier in the day he told
of the trustees action in giving him the
vacation Treasurer Fairbanks refused to
deny or affirm that the president had
handed in his resignation. 1t is believed
by those close with the college that the
trustees considered vacation would be
better than to accept or ask for his resig-
nation which was looked for confidently
at Yesterdays meetin Those present at
the meeting were Rev. DR.. Richard w:

LEEDY's LACK OF CONFIDENCE.

Kansas City, Mo-, March ia special
to the Star from Topeka Kas., says:
Governor John W. Leedy, in an interview
here today, declared that in his opinion
the administration at Washington is
taking advantage of the bills to increase
the army not for the purpose of fighting
Spain, but to have standing army to
keep down strikes and internal troubles
at home.
"If they call for volunteers Kansas will
furnish them," he said, "but they won t
call for them unless l am badly mistaken.
I don't expect to see war with Spain, but
this crisis is just what the corporations
have been looking for to give an excuse
for big standing army to keep down
labor troubles. I have no confidence in
the governments intentions.
