Madison Oct 3.
The committee Of the university
board Of regents, former Senator w. H..
Villas, State Senator J. II. Stout OF Me
nomonie and Mr.. Breese j. Stevens, in
which had been placed the power of
disposing of the matter OF bringingpro-
ceedings against the secretary Of state
to compel him to levy the tax neces-
sary to provide the appropriation of
$4,000 made by the last legislature
for new buildings, on Monday after
noon decided to take no farther action
and to drop the discussion. This
means that the much-needed building
for the college OF engineering and the
addition planned for the dairy building,
which is oyercTOWded, cannot be erect
ed until the legislature again meets
and provides a means OF raising the
money. 1t also means that the $780,
00U which was intended to be expended
fer new buildings at the state normal
schools and at the several charitable
institutions of the state will not be Sc
cured and that these Improvements
will lie in allegiance.
The university regents did not de-
sire to appear alone but were willing
TO 80 into the fight for the money if
the board of normal school
regents would become cocoon
Iplainants, the BOARD OF control, which
has in charge the affairs OF the penal
and charitable Institutions, having
! fatty refused at the outset TO take part
in a suit The committee OF normal
regents, however, at a meeting held IN
River Falls the other day, instructed
It's secretary, s. S. lockwood, to inform
| the university regents that it had final
/ ly decided To abandon the matter.
This, in a letter received by former
Senator Villas, was the final straw thai
! broke the university regents determ-
nation.
The matter was discussed at a meet
ing, attended by Gov Scofeld Ally.
Gen. Hicks, Treasurer Froehlich and
! the committee, in the executive Office at
| the capitol on Monday afternoon.
| Treasurer Froehlich positively refused
to make the levy unless ordered to Go
so by the supreme court, stating that
| he had been advised by former Chief
Justice Lyon, now president Of the
board Of control, that the statute au-
thorizing the levy was unconstltution-
/ al. After a harmonious conversation,
the session ended with the distinct un-
derstanding that nothing farther would
| be done.
The several boards take comfort in
the fact that the state treasury is in
fine condition and in the prospect that
considerable money will be available
for all needed repairs, even though
the cherished hope OF new buildings
cannot be realized.
The total tax that must have been
! levied, had the secretary OF state felt
secure in taking action, would have
been about $550,0O0

Constantinople, Oct. st is estimat-
ed l 500 persons persisted in the earth
quake in ASA Minor around Adm.
The first shock occurred Sept. 20 and
lasted forty seconds. Whole villages
were completely destroyed, The earth
quake was felt as far as Scio, Mitylene
and Symrna. Latest advices from the
stricken region show that men, wo-
men and children were buried in the
ruins of their dwelling places before
they realized their danger. Numbers
of bodies still lie beneath the debris.
About 500 persons were killed at Sara
keni and 500 at Denizliy where three
fourths of the buildings fell. There
was proportionate loss of life in many
smaller villages. The disturbance has
not yet subsidized, although it's strength
appears to be spent. Shocks continue
almost daily, but with no great VIC
lence. The population is encamped In
the open. One consequence OF the
earthquake is the subsistence OF the

THE RUSSIAN FAMINE.

The famine in the Volga provinces,
which ! had occasion to mention re-
Gently in the columns of the New York
Times, daily grows worse. The c2ar
has himself subscribed freely to the
relief fund for the starving peasants
of the famine district, and other sub
scriptions from every part of the en-
pire are flowing in. The municipality
of st. Petersburg has, this week, given
another donation OF $4,000 for this
purpose. Further, to enable the
ruined peasants Of certain districts to
earn their living, the government has
just ordered works of public useful
ness to be built at Samara, Slmbifsk
and Saratoff These works include
new canals. bridges and roads AT
Simbirsk the crop OF vegetables was
entirely destroyed. as we'll as the corn
crop, and consequently the state has
been Obliged, within few days to dis
tribute 100000 pounds of potatoes
among the inhabitants Of the district.
TO prevent the cattle from dying OF
starvation, orders have been given to
allow the animals to pasture in the
government forests. Various diseases,
brought on by the famine, are now
rampant in the Volga provinces. In
single district OF the government OF
Simbirsk, at Jundory, 1000 people have
been stricken with scuryy. And the
famine has, in reality, only just begun.

est surprises for yachtsmen was the
announcement officially made Monday
that the Columbia would have TO allow

sail spread and apparently larger hull,
would nave TO give Columbia some
thing ike a minutes time allowance
over the thirty-miie course. It APP
pears, however, that Designer Fife,
while giving she Shamrock a larger
sail plan than the Columbia, has at the
same time constructed her hull so as TO
give her great freeboard and less dis
placement consequently shorter wa

A Real Fortress.

The monastery of Solovetsk, in Arch
angel, Russia, is inclosed on every side by
wall Of granite bowlders measuring
nearly a mile in circumference, and Is
the best protected in the world. The
monastery itself is very strongly fortified,
being supported by round and square
towers about 80 feet in height, with walls
90 feet in thickness. The monastery con-
sists in reality of six churches, which are
completely filed with statues of all kinds
and precious stones.
Upon the walls and the towers sur
rounding these churches are mounted
huge guns, which in the time Of the Cri-
mean war were directed against the Brit
ish White sea squadron. The monks who
inhabited the monastery at that time
marched In procession on the granite
walls while the shells were flying over
their heads TO prove how little they feared
the attack of the British feet. Ten
thousand pilgrims come annually TO
Solovetsk from all parts of Russia to
view the churches and the relics. They
are conveyed in steamers commanded and
manned solely by monks
