LONDON. oct. 25,-The extent OF
British preparations revealed by to-
days information caused a strong re-
iteration OF rumors Of serious foreign
complications II Is now said that Rear
Admiral Lord Charles Beresford will
command the Mediterranean squadron,
and details Of the activity at the dock
yards and naval stations are coming
In hot and fast,
The Associated Press learns, how
ever that WHISTLER or not Great Britain
seriously fears Russian or French ag-

been under consideration for several
months, and II was the admralty's In
tention to put them In force as soon as
war was declared, deemlIg II neces-
sary to Increase the active strength Of
the navyyard to insure the large fleet

contingency.
Whether later developments have
transformed the admlralty's precau-
tlonary measures into preparations for
a naval demonstration necessltated by
European hostility is the question Of
the hour, and is as much mystery to
many high naval officers as to the pub
lie.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-A dispatch to

There is much uncertainty as to the
real state Of affairs In The Transvaal

the cat will jump, their opinion is not

European relations.

the reserve class have been ordered to
be- ready to sail In the same time linn
Il, Thse vessels, although at the dock
yards, are never out Of commission, and
are always supposed to be ready for
immediate manning, A dozen cruisers,
ranging from 5000 TO 1000 tons are
now only awaiting the order to embark
crews,
In addition to those preparations,
work on the uncomplcted vessels is be-
ing hurried by day and night, special
attention being paid to the cruisers
This Is taken by many naval au-
thorlties to indicate that Great Britain
intends to form a meracing flying
squadron In the term "menacing' 1t
is meant the force at sea is capable OF
preventing any interference in South
African waters.
While the British officials do not con-
ceal their knowledge Of German,
French and Russian antagonlsm and
their irritation theraat. they do not give
the slightest hint that European hostil-
ity will orystallze into any overt act
But the belief that Great Britain Is on
the verge OF crisis or even a conflict
far greater than that In the Transvaal
has many supporters, though the lack
OF all official confirmation favors the
conservative view that the remarkable

Barnes attended the meeting of the board
at Norman yesterday and pledged himself
to do all in his power to prevent the clos

because Of the failure of the assembly to
make appropriations for their support.
Until the courts decide whether this
bill was really passed over my veto. the
future of the board cannot be told" said
Governor Barnes to-day. IF the bill has
become a Law and the institutions have no
funds the territory should find some means
to tide over the schools until appropria-
tons can be made. l certainly shall do
all In my power to save the territory the
tgnominy which would attend the closing OF
her educational institutions. Meanwhile:
we propose 10 have the alleged law tested

REGENTS TO BE ousTED.
serieu, CHARGES Filed Against Tw
Members OF Agricultural
College Board.

SOkHC6C 0Va3S
TOPEKA, March 2a-(Special) Charges
were preferred to-day against c. b. HON.
man, of Enterprise, and J. N. LimDocker,
of Manhattan, members Of the board OF
regents of the state agricultural college
a. Manhattan, and Governor Stanley this
afternoon. after serving the members with
a copy of the charges, relieved them from
further duty. pending an investigation OF
the charges. The charges were preferred
by H. A. Perkins. editor IT the Manhattan
Nationalist, and the papers were served
by Senator ]. E. Hes lin. Hoffman Is pres
ident of the board and Ltmbocker Is treas
urer.
There are " charges lodged against
each. One is to the effect that these TWO
regents falsified the records OF the board
in order to make it appear that a quorum
was present at a certain meeting when. In
fact, there was not a quorum. At that
meeting this short quorum went ahead and
EMPLOYED several teachers and transacted
a lot of other important business which
they could not have lone il a full quorum
were present.
II appears from the other charge that
Regent Limbocker has been " from
the board SIS q month to which he was not
entitled. and that this has been done with
the consent and connivancs OF President
Hoffman. of the board.
The regents established Z lunch counte
for students under the direction OF the
professor Of domestic economy, with tho
understanding that she was to run this In
the most economical manner. n lunch
counter kept running behind and when the
other members called her to account for 1t
she was obliged to admit that she had been
paying Limbocker SIS per month for his
seryices as steward or purchasing agent for
the lunch counter. Hoffman knew this. but
the other members did not. In addition to
this. Limbocker drew his regular salary a.
regent.
This suspension comes at q very 0ppor-
tune time. as the old board had called q
special meeting for to-day. This was the
last. meeting at which the rabid Pops would
have a majority OF the board. JEFF Hud-
son rerires April /. With the r~eorganiza.
ton Of the board. Mrs. J. p. st. John win
hold the balance of power with her vote.
and she has not been working in harmony
with the Pops recently.
For fear that Mrs. St. John will af6liate
with the Republican members after April
/ and thus give them control Of the board.
the retiring Pop board called a special
meeting for the purpose Of re-electing
Thomas E. Will as president. and anchor
ing a number Of other fayorite Pop teach
ers in their old places. The time for the

BELGIAN DEPUTIES .RIorous.
Brussels DarinE Y~esterday's
Sitting.

BRUSSELS. March 2s.-There were some
exciting scenes at the chamber Of deputies
to-day. in connection with the discussion Of
the recent expulsion from Belgium of a
former priest named Charbonnel, a native
Of France. whose lecture on socialism the
authorities considered objectionable. The
Socialist members interpellated the gov
ernmen and the Rightist deputies tried
Socialist protests. during which the speak
ers attacked the king and government gen.
orally. leading to much uproar. Eventual
~, the president OF the chamber declared
the sitting suspended and the Socialists
and Leftists, In a body, rushed toward
the Rightists. i~iourishing their fists.
Though actual fighting was avoided. the
uproar was deafening. The most abusive
epithets were shouted and the chairman
president ordered the galleries to be clear
ed. Thereupon the spectators appealed TO
the Socialists. who told them to remain.
This caused some OF the spectators to re-
rist the ushers. and soldiers had to be
ummone to clear the galleries, resulting
in q series of exciting %scufies.
In the meanwhile. the deputies on the
floor continued to vituperate. but the
house was eventually cleared and the sit
ting was suspended for an hour. during
which Al. Bethune. a member of the Right,
and NJ. Journez. Socialist, exchanged chai-
lenges to fight a duel.
