EAU CLAIRE WANTS A COLLEGE.
Ripca Institution Receives a Tempt

Ripon, Wis, Dec. 13.-Eau Claire Is
ambitious TO become a college city
The offer of one of its residents of
100000, with a proviso that 100000
additional be raised by the citizens Of
the town for the transfer of Ripon
college TO the numbering metropolis on
the banks Of the Wisconsin, has been
made and created more or less stir
among Ripon people. Between $4,000
and 100000 is spent here annually by
the students alone The incompleted
science hall is the immediate cause of
the talk about removing the college
Ten thousand dollars more is needed
for that building The offer of $780,
600 from the Eau Claire man was for
the purpose of a science hall, the other
100000 being his offer for the rest Of
the buildings. The 100000 probably
does not cover the value of property,
and there may be technical obstacles
to prevent removal of the college TO
Eau Claire.

London, Dec. 9.-Joseph Chamber
lain, at a conservative gathering at
Wakefield, Yorkshire, last evening,
fully discussed home and foreign at
fairs and the governments policy in
Egypt, which he said, depended en-
tirely upon the possibility of reaching
an understanding with France, "a
thing impossible so long as the French
pursue policy of evaporation In
regard to relations Between Great Brit
ain and Russia, in connection with the
far east, he said that while hitherto
endeavors to reach an agreement had
failed. he believed an agreement with
Russia necessary, unless very serious
complications are TO be encountered.
There were, he continued, no insur-
mountable obstacles to such an agree
ment.
Il am more sanguine of arriving at a
settlement" said Mr.. Chamberlain,
because it is not for our interest
alone. The objects that we have In
view are shared also by the United
States, Germany and Japan; all have
Identical interests. dare say that
you observed very pregnant passage
in the recent message of President Me-
Kinley, referring to the very important
interests of America in the east, in
which he declares that these interests
shall not be prejudiced by exclusive
treatment. That is a very noteworthy
passage and, without being a prophet,
think that / shall not be too sanguine
if / say that in the future we shall not
stand alone as guardians of the open
door. -
