vate business. Thence he Will go to Wash
lngton for four or five days and will then
depart for his home in Los Angeles. Before
leaving for the east General Otis said:
Il have no doubt that the delay of the
Senate in ratifying the treaty with Spain
served to encourage the Fflipnos In oppos-
ing American control.
This delay served to make a dangerous
condition., he continued. (which might
have been avoided by anything approaching

UNIVERSITY NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Chicago Educafors Take Action on nm
Anti-Expansion speech.

CHICAGO, July LAT a meeting of repre-
sentative members of the faculty, board of
trustees and alumni of the University OF
Chicago, resolution was adopted declaring
unequivocally for no restriction on the pub
lie utterances of the professors or other in
dividuals officially connected with the insti-
tuition. At the same time, however. the
resolution makes it plain that the uniyer-
sity cannot be responsible for the public ex-
preston by members of It's faculty, ana
that such utterances represent alone the
sentiment of the individual not the school.
This action was the result Of the speech
delivered by one of the professors at an
anti-expansion meeting some days ago.

cable the cheering intelligence that the
customs receipts at Havana for June have
passed the million-dollar mark Since
American occupation of the island there
has been very gratifying growth of Gus

recapitulation by months shows:
January. $40. 1888; February, s7O7.-
l21H; March, $500, 1851; April. $3.50, ,221 .6S;
May, 1927 ,223O6. Total for five months, ex-
elusive of June. $4,l42 931.42

customs at the port of Havana for six
months, the full term of American occupa-
tion, is over five millions of dollars.

TEXAS STORM TROUBLED
A Thousand Miles of Rich Farm Lands

Railroads Wrecked by Washouts Due
to Three Days of Heavy

AUSTIN, Tex, July las result of
heavy rains during the past three days
along the Brazos river bottoms through
the central portion of the state and along
the valleys of the Guadalupe and Lower
Colorado rivers in the southwestern portion
of the state fully LOCO miles of rich farm
ing land is under water and many of the
railroads are effectually blockaded by high
water and wrecked roads.
The Brazos has been on a boom since
Tuesday morning and has been rising rapid
ly all along. Reports received last night
state that the counties of Hood Robertson,
Brazos, Washington, Harris and McLennan
are all swept by the floods. These coun-
ties comprise the very center of the big
farming interests of the state. Several
thousand acres of land are submerged and
crops are ruined. The valleys of the Guada-
loupe and lower Colorado rivers are i'll the
same condition. Reports from every sec
ton of the state show that the losses to
railroads have been enormous.

ATTITUDE OF PINGREE

Friends of Secretary AIger in administra-
tion circles denounce what they claim to
be attemps to put the Secretary in a wrong
attitude toward the administration in his
alliance with Governor Pingree They de-
clare that these attempts are being made
In order to create prejudice against the
Secretary in the presidential household and
to give the impression in Michigan and
| elsewhere that the Secretary is remaining
in the cabinet when not wanted and when
he is really to be ranked as an anti-admin-
istration man.
1t Is declared that whatever force this
story may have in portions Of Michigan,
1t really cannot be credited in Washing
ton, where it is well known that the
Secretary s relations with the President are
most cordial.
1t IS said on authority close to Secretary
Alser that the Mcmillan men would be
reJolced If they could force the Secretary
out of the cabinet at this time and permit
the impression to continue that he is hos
tile to the administration in many of it's
views That would simply be to array the
administration forces against Secretary AL
ger and give them to Senator Mcmillan.
The Alger followers do not propose to al
low this to be done, IL is said, nor do they
propose TO claim that the President is
with him.

The Administrations Strength in
Mich lynn.

An interesting feature of this Michigan
fight is that both men say that President
Mckinley is stronger than either of the
candidates. Michigan, in other words. is
Tor the chief first and will be loyal to him
IN preference to others. With full knowl-
cage OF this loyalty a politician easily sees
how perilous it might De to a candidate if
he were placed IN the position of antago-
nlsm to the President. It would mean his
defeat. Almost as perious would be a gem
eral impression that a man was remaining
in position in which he was not wanted.
Close friends of Secretary Alger say to-
day that all attempts along these lines will
fail. They say that the President himself
Knows that he has not more loyal friend
than Secretary Ager, and that the Presi-
dent will decline to be drawn into the quar-
rel. They say, further. that the Secretary
would abandon his senatorial honors before
he would allow his loyalty to the President
to be questioned.
Origin of the Reports.
A friend of Secretary Alger declared to-
day that all these stories have arisen out of
the published interviews with Gov Pin
gree and out of the presence in Washington
OF Senator Burrows, the close friend of
Senator Mcmillan. The friends of the Sec
retary of War feel bitter toward Senator
burrows 1t is said that Gov. Pingree has
denied a number of the interviews reported
to be with him and indicating his hostil
ity to the administration.
Secretary Alger himself is said to be ex-
asperated at the work of his enemies but
he has been advised TO say nothing. and is
folioW1ng this advice to the letter 1t is
claimed that he wants the President to see
that he is not trying to drag the admins
trat1on into the fight.
1t is asserted today that Secretary Alger
does not believe that there is any chain of
circumstances which would necessitate his
Withdrawing from the abinet but if he
ever Goes withdraw he VIII do so in a way
that will confound his enemies
