CRITICISM UNFOUNDED.
None of The Insurance Money has Been
Applied to The Payment For the
Fife Property.

1t has been stated in some of the
state papers that it was intended to
pay for the Fife property purchased by
the University out Of the insurance
collected on the burnt machinery in
the mechanical hall. This ii done
would be fragrant violation OF the
provisions OF the Morrill, fund distri-
button and would undoubtedly cause
the institution to lose the good to be
derived from that source.
Acting on the information in the
papers mentioned we asked Prof. A.
r. Whitehill treasurer of the Univer-
sity ia regard TO the matter. BY
means of this inquiry we are able to
state that If such is the intention 1t
has not yet appeared. The only pay
ment that has been made is one of
sixteen hundred and ninety dollars
and this came out OF the G and G
fund.
No other money whatever has been
paid and II 1t is the intention Of the
board to do SO In the future 1T has not
yet been revealed by them. We are
very glad to be able to state that one
criticism OF the University that is be-
ing made Is unfounded. The others
however are In the main absolutely
correct.

Lot For the Farmers.

Attorney George G. Baker has do
mated for the use of the people com
ing in with teams and horses ON
Chadwick Day the addition in which
he and others are interested back of
the Presbyterian graveyard on
Spruce street. There is ten acre
field over there in which teams and
horses can be placed. This will be
appreciated by those who want to
come in from the country to see the

The Youngest Officer in the U. s. Navy.

In view of the approach of Chad
wick Day it may be interesting to
our local readers to know that the
youngest officer ever in the U. S.
Navy, lives in Morgantown in the
person of DR.. S. V. Leech. When
but fifteen he was appointed "Cap-
tain's clerk" to Commander John X.
Mitchell of the man f-war, Fulton,
and served on the Home Squadron,
visiting numerous West India Is
lands and South American ports.
When sixteen he resigned to study
for the ministry. Mitchell became
afterwards the confederate admiral
who defended New Orleans when
Ben Butler captured the city. Two
OF the passed mdshipmen'' of the
Fulton are now retired Rear Admi-
rails, Aaron Ward Weaver and John
Irwin. Commander Brown, of this
city was well acquainted with the off
GERS of the Fulton and it's other chief
officers, Lieutenants Watson Smith
and Henry Wilson, Pnrser Marcy
and Chief Engineers Long and Kim
ball. DR.. Leech constantly reads up
naval matters and keeps posted in
the improvements of our war ships
There were no monitors or iron clads
in the navy when he was in the SER
vice and the Fulton no longer floats
on the sea.

GONE TO WHEELING.
Lieutenant white has Left With His
Rec-uits-A New Nan Has
Joined the Party.

Lieutenant w. J. White left this
place for Wheeling with the recruits
that he had obtained here. Besides
Malcolm, UT and Shay he took with
him David Turner member of Com
pany L at this place. Turner has
the making of good soldier and will
make record that we all may be
proud of in the service.
He is not at all sure that he will be
taken at Wheeling but he fills all Of
the requirements and will likely get
in all right. The party will join the
rest Of the recruits raised over the
state at that place and will shortly
leave for Fort Leavenworth where the
44th regiment is being rendezvoused
preparatory to getting into shape to
start for the Philippines.

Has Nothing to Say.

Judge Johnson was seen on the

Another of his ssMistakes" (g)

President Raymond is mistaken
when he states that the request for
an appropriation to buy pipe organ
at the University was voluntarily
withdrawn. 1t was reluctantly with
drawn after the finance commit
tee Of the house positively refused
to allow it. The member from Mon
ongalia, who was also member of
the committee while warm and ac-
tive friend of the University, was a
very fair and honest man. He frank
ly admitted that the organ could bet
ter be dispensed w'th than some other
appropriations asked for Charleston

CONFLICT

Between Atkinson and Trotter Regard
ing The Observance Of Arbor
Day.
There is conflict Of authority be-
tween Two State officials Some time
ago Governor Atkinson issued proc
lamation designating October 18th as
Arbor Day. Superintendent of
Schools, Trotter, believing it to be his
prerogative TO issue this proclamation
as his predecessors had always done,
issued to-day a proclamation desig-
mating November 10th as Arbor Day.
The question now is what day should
the schools observe, Governor Atkin-
sons day or the Trotter day.

II THINK it would be good plan to
send Willie up into the country for a
month";" suggested Willie's father.
Hes never been on ranch, and it
would be rather novel experience for
him." mo you DON'T" interrupted
Willie. sI've read all about the
country and I'm not gsing anywhere
where they have threshing machines.
It's bad enough when its done by
hand"
The large number of people with
bowed heads and sad hearts who at.
tended the services Thursday over
the remains of the late I. W Hayes
attested the esteem in which he was
held. The simple remarks made by
his pastor, Rev. A. M. Buchanan
who knew him more intimately than
anyone else, was tribute to his
worth that must certainly be appre
ciated by his friends. Nothing
could have been more appropriate
The beautiful floral offerings also
showed the love borne him by kind
friends. Seldom does SO young Q
man go hence with as many good
words said Of him as in this case
May he rest in peace.

ABOUT CLANS.
That Was Feature Of the
House Session Yesterday.

Boston. March IA long and unin-
teresting debate on clans was a fea-
ture of the House session today and
when it was all over few. if any, of the
members who were obliged to listen to
it were any wiser on the question than
before.
1t was all over the question of taking
clans from the Merrimao river and
only Representatives Mills and Stanley,
both Of Newburyport, figured in it.
OF far greater interest to the people
OF the state was the debate on the phar-
macy bill, which 1t is claimed leglslates
the members of the present board out of
office at the expiration of their terms.
The bill is the outgroWth, it Is said, of
general dissatisfaction by the druggists
OF the state with the present board of
pharmacy.
The feeling is that the board is not up
to date and that the members have
treated many applicants for licenses in
cavalier manner. The bill was passed
to be engrossed by large vote.
In the Senate, the bill with reference
to the membership of the Worcester
Natural History Society was engrossed.
The bill to authorize Worcester to
change the grade of Belmont and
Shrewsbury streets, over common
wealth land, was also engrossed.

GEN. OTIS.
The Government To
Stand By Him.
SPAIN'S PRISONE Frs.
Madrid Government May
Make a Protest.

Washington, March 14.--Gen. Otis, in
forbidding further negotiations between
the Spanish at Manila and the insur-
gents, touching the surrender Of tho
Spanish prisoners held by the latter,
acted upon his own authority.
The government had not sent any in
structlons on this point, but it will I'M
questionably support him to the ex-
IRENE in any action of that kind he
may take.
there have been some exchanges be-
tween the United States and Spain
through indirect channels, touching
these particular prisoners, dating back
to the signature OF the protocol last
August. The United States govern
ment undertook finally to secure the
release of the prisoners. 1t never con-
templated trying to secure their re-
lease by ransom, but simply through
the suppression Of the instruction and
cannot be held by any requirement Of
international law to do more than has
w
prisoners.
In preventing the Spanish govern
ment from negotiating directly with
the insurgents, it is said here that Gen.
Otis undoubtedly was correct in his at
titude. Inasmuch as the ratification Of
the peace treaty has not been effected
the United States and Spain are still
technically in a state of war, qualified
only by the operation Of the protocol
n Ty, t,ff
ton there is no authority on the part
Of Spaniards to negotiate with the in
surgents without the explicit consent
of the United States.
If the Spanish minister of foreign af-
fairs feels called upon to address him
self respecting this subject to the state
department, directly or Indirectly, he
undoubtedly would be informed that
Gen. Otis must be sustained, though
treasured as to the intentions of the
United States to use all proper efforts
to carry out its undertaking.
The attention Of the officials at the
war department having been called to
the report from Manila that Gen. Otis
had refused to allow the retiring Span
ish troops to carry arms to the Caro-
lines. it was learned that this refusal
was in strict pursuance of the terms
Of the protocol which govern in the
absence of the ratification of the peace
treaty.
Under the technical suspension of
hostilities, 1t could not be permitted
that Spain should change the status
quo to the extent of fortifying any
strongly garrisoned points heretofore
unprotected, as was to be the case in
the Carolines.
When Col. Rios. the senior Spanish
army officer in the Philippines, evacu-
ated Iloilo, he carried the Spanish gar
rison Of the town directly to the port
of Zamboanga, on the south coast of
the town Of Mindanao, taking with
them as much of the cannon and mu-
nitions of the place as his ships could
carry, and it is these stores and guns
that Rios desires to take to the Caro-
lines.

SOPRANO FOR OLD SOUTH.
Miss Gutter of somsrviIIe Engaged For
the Coming Year.

The music committee OF the Old South
Church, with few friends, listened yes
terday afternoon at the church to the
singing of Miss Ruby G. Cutter of Som
ervile who is now near the close of her
second year as soprano of the First Bap-
fist Church of Brookline. The result of
Miss Cutters singing was the immediate
closing Of an engagement with her as
leading soprano of the Old South choir for
the coming year.
Miss Cutter has been singing in church
choirs and concerts of an unambitious
character for the past six years, her first
appearance in concerts of a large nature
being in one of the Boston municipal con-
certs Nov. 10Th, 1898. The enthusiastic re-
oeption she then had and the very faVora-
BILE comments of the press upon her work
stimulated a large demand for her serv-
ices. and she has sung since then in many
concerts of pretentious character. She
sings tomorrow evening the principal So
prano role in Gaul's Holy cry at
Watertown,, Myron w. Whitney singing
N Members Of the Old South Church heard
Miss Cutter early the present year in con-
cert work and also in her church choir
but from Unforeseen circumstances were
unable to bring about a hearing here until
many real good sopranos, as one mem
Der said.
Much satisfaction is felt by the cor
tee with the result thus far of the .
bors, and especially with the secur +
Miss Cutter 1t may be said by #
explanation that Miss Cutters voit a
fun and free soprano of two and df
octaves' compass, extending with lp-
parent effort to Il In alt, with UNI fa-
cility in reading music, Her fan a
musical one, her uncle DR., Cutie ON
