State Agricultural College
Again Made the Football
Of Partisan Vaccinations by
the Sudden Removal
OF TWO REGENTS
On Charge That Seems Triv-
ial in Character.
Vicious Policy of Keeping State
Institutions
In a Turmoil Seems to Have
No End.

To circumvent the regents of the state
agricultural college in a supposed effort
to re-elect Thomas E. Will president for
another term, Governor Stanley has
summarily removed from office c. B.
Hoffman. president of the board, and
J. n. Limbocker, secretary. Although
there was no official information that
the board had such a plan in mind, yet
the governor, through another alleged
investigation, like the trial of McNall,
ousted these two men.
Since the present administration was
Installed several plans have been con-
sidered to wrest from Populistic control
the state agricultural college. In this
scheme was also another plan to be re-
venged upon Governor Leedy and the
Populists who two years ago with one
Ewoop ousted the Republican president
and other Republican members of the
faculty of the institution.
J. N Lin booker, who lives at Man
haitian. has been acting as purchasing
agent or steward for the boarding club
established by the regents in connection
with the institution. For these services
he was being paid SIS per month in ad-
dition to his other remuneration as a
member of the board. President Hof-
man of the board of regents was cogni-
Zant of this arrangement and the two
men were removed upon the charge that
they had cCnnived in the payment of a
salary not authorized by law.
Charges to this effect were filed with
the governor by H. a. Perkins, editor OF
the Manhattan Nationalist. The gov
ernor decided that this was sufficient
cause for removal and Immediately sus-
pended the two men,
The board had called a special meet
ing at Manhattan at O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. The Republicans believed it
was for the purpose of re-electing Mr..
Will president and so arranging matters
that the PopulistS would remain in con-
troll of the institution for two years
longer.
This started the Republican politi-
clans to work and the POpulist majority
of the board was destroyed by the sus-
pension of Hoffman and Limbocker.
Governor Stanley proposes to inves-
tigate the charges, but has set no date
for the hearing.

FROM HERE TO EUROPE
Is Tesla's Mark For Wireless TeIeg-
raphy.

New York, March 30-Nikola Tesla,
while expressing interest in Marconis
achievement of telegra Phing across the
British channel without wires, avowS
his admiration temporarily, however,
because he expects in a short time to go
the young Italian experimenter a great
many better. Marconi has telegraphed
80 miles without wires. Tesla expects
to telegraph 5000 miles.
Marconis achievement which caused
so much amaZement in scientific as well
as popular circles. will, according to Mr.
Tesla, be improved on very soon.
''Thirty-two miles, he said, that is
not very far. Not far enough to give a
hint of the real possibilities of wireless
biography. When 1 complete the work
which has absorbed me for the past two
years L shall do much more than that
How far do you expect to telegraph,
Mr.. Tesla?"
From here to Europe" he replied.
Three thousand miles with absolute
gertrude.
THE necessary thing is to protect
these conductors from outside infiu-
ences, to insulate them completely. as it
were, 1 believe that 1 have done this"

PINGREE-SENATE CLASH.
Refuses to Confirm the Governors APP
pointments on the Board of
Railroad Assessors

Lansing, Mich, March Ex-Governor
Pingree has nominated George w. Buck
ingham of Flint for member of the
board of railroad assessors, and if the
senate refuses to confirm he will ap-
point Maj. Buckingham direct, just as
was done in the case of Robert Oakman
Inasmuch as the confirmation of
Buckingham would legalize the appoint
ment of a quorum of the board, George
B. Horton having previously been con-
frmed, and thus render it more difficult
to test the legality of Oakman's ap-
pointment, there is strong proba bility
that the senate will withhold confirma-
ton.
A bill providing for the incorporation
of fidelity, casualty, guarantee, accident
and plate glass window insurance COM
panies was passed by the senate, which
defeated bill exempting from taxation
all real estate mortgages bearing not to
exceed 4 per cent interest.

SOLD HIS LICENSE.
Marriage Papers Transferred and the
Wrong Couple United.

Probate Judge Dolman is trying to
license but the cloud Of uncertainty
signs of clearing away.
On March 16 an old colored man who
gave his name as George Slade entered
the Office of the probate judge and said
that he wanted a marriage license. The
necessary blanks were produced and
George Slade, aged 81, was duly au-
thorized to marry Lucinda Black, aged
81. The old man went out of the office
chuckling and nothing more was heard
of the transaction until the necessary
return of the license was made through
the mail this week.
Everything was regular up to this
time so far as the probate judge was
concerned but when he started to make
the entry Of the marriage he was
astounded to find that the parties to
whom the license was issued were not
the ones who were married. The return
shows that ]. H. Evans was married
to Lucy Ambrose on March II and it
also shows that the ceremony was per-
formed by "A Citizen" Jennie Ambrose
1t is supposed that George Slade and
his prospective bride changed their
minds and that the license was sold to
Evans. The law does not authorize
such a transfer and neither does it
permit "a citizen to perform a mar
riage ceremony.
Two people somewhere think that
they are married who are not" said
Probate Judge Dolman as he handed
the license to Deputy Sheriff Stewart
for investigation.

$1,000 A VOTE
Was offered at Harrisburg in Connec-
ton With the McCarroIl Bill

Harrisburg, March 3O.-The bribery
committee met again at o'clock this
morning to take testimony in the al
legged charges of bribery in connection
with the United States senatorship and
the McCarroll jury bill in the house. Mr..
Thompson (Quay Rep.) of Wayne was
closely questioned concerning his col
league, Norton, who testified yesterday
that he had been offered 81, 900 for his
vote on the McCarroll bill. He said
Norton told him that he would have
to give evidence against Evans. MI.
fowler (Quay Rep.) of Forest said a
member told him that he had been in
directly approached to change his vote
for Quay to another. This member has
not testified and fowler preferred not to
divulge his name until after he has
given his testimony.
Mr.. Zerbe (Quay Rep) of Lebanon
said ex-Sheriff Miller of his county
asked him to meet Congressman Dali
zell and on the way told him that the
question of offering him money to
change his senatorial vote from Senator
Quay had been discussed by anti-Quay
leaders of Lebanon but he had advised
against it. Mr.. Zerbe related his CONVEX
sation with Miller to DIR. fowler to get
his opinion as to whether it was peril
nent to the inquiry.

OLNEY AND MOORE
Are Suggested as Delegates to the
Peace Conference.

Washington, March 3O.-The president
has under consideration the naming of
delegates to the cars disarmament
convention. which is to be held at The
Hague beginning May IS next. Since the
congress is to meet at The Hague it is
expected that the Netherlands govern
ment will issue invitations to the var
ious powers, offering the official courte-
sizes of the capital. The names of the
delegates may not be announced.
There is little discussion in official
quarters of Individual names. The Sc
lection of Sir Julian PauncefOte as one
of the British delegates-largely because
of his service in negotiating the Olney-
PauncefOte treaty-haS led to the men
ton of Mr.. Olney'S name as a possible
American delegate. Another mentioned
is that of John Bassett Moore, assistant
secretary of state under Judge Day
and one of the moving figures in the
recent peace negotiations with Spain.
Mr.. Moore's name comes up through his
literary contributions to the subject of
disarmament He has recently COM
pleted a treatise on arbitration, compriS-
ing several volumes published by the
government, which is said to be the
most exhaustive treatment of the sub
ject ever attempted. The understanding
is, also, that it would be agreea BILE to
the friends of Archbishop Ireland if that
eminent Catholic prelate were appoint
ed. At first it was thought that AmbaS-
sadOr Charlemagne Tower might be
designated to go from St. Petersburg
TO attend the congress, out TINS may De
given up as appearing rather a perfume
tory recognition of the czars invitation.
The British delegates have not been
officially announced, but Sir Julian
PauncefOte will be one of them and the
other may be of even higher rank than
the ambassador. In case the continental
powers select their foremost men, Great
Britain, it is understood will select from
those who have been ministers of for
eign affairs and heads of cabinets. In
that event, it is surnised in official but
trustworthy quarters that Sir Julian's

istry when Gladstone put aside the

KAUTZ'SLATEST
Says Nothing About the Fighting at
Samoa

Washington, March 30.-Assistant
Secretary Allen has issued the follow
ing statement:
The latest dispatch from Admiral
Kautz is as follows:
Auckland, March 29.-Secretary of
the Navy, MISREPRESENTATION is
improving since telegram Of 18th via
"KAUTz."
This is the only dispatch received
from Admiral Kautz at the navy de-
tains no details concerning the report
ed trouble at Apia. Even the date on
which it was dispatched from Apia is
not given but it is presumed it left
Samoa on the 23rd, the date upon which
the steamer that conveyed the press
dispatches from Apia, to Auckland SAIL
ed. The dispatch of the 18th, to which
Admiral kautz refers was not given
out at the time of it's receipt here and
even now Secretary Allen declines to
make it public. 1t is known however
and gave a brief resume of the then
existing situation which must have ap-
peared somewhat grave at that time as
the admiral reports that it had improv-
ed during the interim. The dispatch of
the 18th referred to by the admiral was
in reality dated Sydney the 18th but the
admiral had no means of knowing the
exact date upon which it would be for
wared from Sydney, but his calcula-
ton was that it would be dated upon
the 18th. This dispatch probably left
Apia, according to the calculation Of
the officials at the navy department on
the 18th and described the situation at
that time. This was before the actual
trouble.

ENDS IN A FIASCO.
The Senate FOOlishIy Declares
Judge Stuart's Seat Vacant.

By vote of 10 to IA the senate this
afternoon declared the seat of the judge
of the Brown Nemaha-Doniphan county
district vacant. This will cause the
governor to appoint a judge. It is a
victory for Stuart over Falcon because
Mr.. Leland will now require Governor
Stanley to appoint Stuart to the posi-
ton and he will be the judge despite the
contest which has been brought against
him.
The senate appointed Crossan, Field,
King, Jumper, Populists; Andrews of
Atchison, Anderson of Shawnee and
Lamb of WoodSon, Republicans, to
make up the findings in the contest be-
fore the senate.
Senators voting to declare the judge
strong, Braddock, Caldwell, Campbell
Cooke, Crossan, Field, Forney, Hart,
Helm, Householder, Jumper, King, Lup-
fer, Reser, Ryan, Shaffer, Titus and
Young.
Senators voting against this PROPOSE
ton were: Andrews, Anderson, Battey,
Coleman, Farrelly, Fulton, Hanna,
Lamb, Morrow, Sheldon, Stocks, Stone,
This ends the contest proceedings, but
not in a victory for Falcon. He hoped
to secure the judgeship and SO made his
case, but the Populist senators found no
evidences of fraud and crept from I'M
der the burden of responsibility by de-
claring the seat vacant. The senators
found no grounds upon which to I'M
seat Stuart and give the place to Fal-
loon so they tried to patch the matter
up without a total surrender to their
political opponents and sagely declared
the seat vacant a decision which by
politicians is regarded as a vindication
of both Leland and Stuart. The SEN
ators we'll knew Stuart would be ap-
pointed and those to whom this was
suggested said:
That's all right He's entitled to the
place" Yet political cOWardice WarpS
their judgment.
The decision is practically that Stuart
was elected without fraud, but because
he gave away a few cigars prior to cleo
ton and promised to help a man get a
job at the state house he is ineligible to
the office.
