ACTION BY THE STUDENTS.
The Resolutions Passed Referring to
Edward BerLIcy's Death.

Edward BeriSiey's Death.
ITHACA, n, Y, Oct 3O.-A mass meeting
of Cornell undergraduates was held this
evening in Barnes Hall to take appropriate
action upon the death of Edward Fairfax
Berkley. The meeting was well attended,
and. after a discussion of the matter in all
its relations to student life in the uniyer-
sty, a committee of seven was appointed
to frame resolutions which should express,
first, the heartfelt sympathy of the stu
dents for the family of the deceased and for
the Kappa Alpha Fraternity, and to en-
body the idea that practices such as in any
way would lead to the injury of the stu
dents of the university were discounte-
nanced by the students; that they did not
believe such customs existed, and that they
believed the death of Mr.. Berkley to be
wholly accidental. It is generally thought
the unfortunate affair of last Friday will
have the effect of forever putting stop
TO such customs, if any have really existed
in the past, which the students deny
1t is known that al a meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the board of trustees
on Tuesday the matter will be brought up
and some action taken.

THE EXPULSION OF FRIARs.
No Official Statement of the Trouble
in Guam.

in Guam.
Manila newspapers received here furnish
information as 10 the reason why Capt.
Richard p. Leary. the Governor of Guam,
asked the Navy Department to send him
another battalion of marines. Governor
Leary found, according to these uewspa-
Ders. that Spanish friars in the island were
responsible for much OF the disorder that
prevailed and were the cause of so much
satisfaction that he expelled them
These statements are partly, but not
wholly. confirmed by the Navy Department.
which recently received several reports
from Governor Leary. According to the
information attainabe at the department,
the exclusion Ct the friars was not gen.
eral, only those believed to be thoroughly
bad having been banished. Governor
Leary banished number of former con
victs and ether bad characters also, the
department officials say. No definite state
ment as to the troubles encountered by
Governor Leary VIII be given by the de-
partment That he fears there may be an
attempt TO undermine the authority Of the
United States is evident, bat how serious
the trouble is may be surmised only by
his request for re-cnforcements.
Archbishop ChapelIe. the Papal Delegate
10 the Philippines, had an interview yes
teyday with the Secretary OF War prepara-
tory 10 his departure for Manila The
Archbishop said in an interview that if 1t
were true that the Spanish friars had been
excluded from Guam. that action was an
outrage These priefs had been with the
people Of the islands for 400 years, had
taught them agricultural pursuits, built
their houses and schools, and lifted them
above the state of savagery and Ignorance
ln which they had been originally He ex-
pressed regret that there had been any
misunderstanding between the military au-
thoritios IN Guam and the friars, but said
be believed that the matter could be fully
explained and set right There was not in
his opinion, any intention on the part oil
the friars to interfere with the govern
uent of the island.
Archbishop Chapellc left here last night
for New Orleans, his station in the United
States. He said he would hardly return
here before going to the Philippines il

THE ALAsKANs AROUSED.
Resolutions Setting Forth Views on
the boundary Dispute

SKAGUAY, Alaska. Oct. 9-The keen in
terest of the Alaskans in the boundary dis
pute and their anxiety over the reports
that some compromise" with the claims OF
Canada may result from it will be under
stood in the States from a perusal OF the
following resolution, adopted by the Cham
Der of Commerce here today.
Whereas we as citizens of the United States be-
heye that the present boundary line, as estab
hshed and maintained by the United States Gov
erumeEt, is the correct line. according 20 the
original treaty between Russia and Great Britain
before the purchase Of Alaska from Russia by the
United States, and
Whereas as citizens Of the United States we are
unalteraby opposed TO the concession Of one foot
Of territory over which the sovereignty OF the
United states can be Tghttuiiy maiutained, and
Whereas we realize the disastroua results 10
ourselves as citizens OF the United States, Of the
district OF Alaska, in the town OF Skaguay, which
would result from such 4 concession 20 the Brit
lsa. because OF the almost total destruction Of
the transportation business and the great and
growing commerce Of this place, which now sup
ports the town OF okaguay, the value Of the ton
mage OF which commerce and transportation pass
ing through this place to British territory in

: F-'v0t,OVV- Aggregate tonnage that passed over
the Skaguay wharves apprOxmates $4,000 tons.
OF this amount 10000 tons were American goods,
and.
Whereas, while some of our Eastern fellow citi-
zens, as We understand, regard this prospective
| settlement as triumph Of American diplomacy.
We who are Oh the ground and in position 20 have
definite information upon the subject, regard it
J as a grlevous and most unfortunate mistake should
II ever be carried out, not only destructive to
our interests as citizens Of Skaguay but destruc-
| tive OF other immense interests. and a complete
/ concession to the British Government OF the only
thing 1t has ever really contended for; therefore,
| Resolved, That we DO thus publicly and most
! earnestly protest against a settlement of the
] boundary dispute between Alaska and the British
/ provinces in North America upon any such terms
/ ana as earnestly request friends in and ont o
! Congress and the executive department to pro
] tect people who are without representation at
/ the National Capital from so grieyous a disaster
/ believing as we do that it viii virtually destroy
/ property values which amount TO millions
| OF dollars besides conceding to a foreign govern
! ment the sovereignty over soil which belongs tC
I the United States of America only, a condition
/ 1t seems to us, not to be considered by any pa

COUNT CAssINI ARRIVES.

China as n Cotton Market.
NEW YORK. Oct. 3O.-Count Cassini,
Russian Ambassador and Minister Pleni-
potendary to the United States, arrived in
this country last Saturday on the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse. He came here from
China by the overland route, and in speak
ing of that country today he said:
Business men who have not been in
China can hardly dream of the progress
the Celestial Empire is making, 1t seems
to have arisen out of a long sleep. Cotton
mills are literally spTinging out of the
ground, and l predict that China Will nave
to be reckoned with as a competitor in the
worlds markets for cotton goods at no far
distant day
Speaking of the relations between this
country and Russia Count Cassini said:
That my Government recognizes the
astounding resources of America is shown
by the heavy contracts for railroad ma
terial already placed in this country. Eng
land and Germany have long held the mar
ket in the Siberian districts, but America
is now forging rapidly to the front IN
country which when opened for commerce
WILL in my estimation prove to be the
most enticing field for American foreign
trade In Russia proper l am also glad to
know that American machinery is being
adopted, and l am further pleased to hear
that movement is on foot for the pur-
pose cf removing the American exhibits at
the Paris Exposition to St. Petersburg and
Moscow after the French exposition
closes"
Count Cassini was careful to correct an
impression that Russia was keeping secret
the facts regarding the progress of the
Trans Siberian Railway. He said the re-
verse was the truth, and the Car was
/ especially anxious to have the world fully
informed as to the progress of the work.

Delhi express on the Ontario and Western
Railroad last night, and it was only by
good luck that a terrible catastrophe was

inspector fastened to the rails on curve
near the village in such a manner that the
train would certainly have been derailed
and plunged down an embankment The
obstruction was removed On the next
trip, just before train time, another spike
was found placed in the same manner, and
was barely gotten out of the way before
the train dashed by. The crime was
brought home to three small boys who con-
fessed to placing the obstruction there for
the purpose of having some fun" They
denied having any intention of plundering
the train. but said they just wanted to see
the train jump the track
