STATE AGRICUL LTURAL COLLEGE.

In order to obtain control of the Kansas State
Agricultural College, Governor Stanley, nearly
year ago, without the slightest cause, removed
Regents Hoffman and Limbocker, and appoint
ed twoRepublican politicians to take places
thus giving the Republicans five of the members
constituting the board. One of the first pieces
of the partisan dirty work perpetrated by TIE
Republican members under the reorganization
was the removal of Profs. Bemis, Ward, Parsons
and President Will, all men Ct national reputa-
ton, and an honor, not only to the college, out
all honor to the state. And, as if to crown their
Infamous partsanshp, with additional evidence
of their incapacity to properly manage such an
educational institution, they have lett 1t up TO
the present time, and it will likely continue
through the year, without president. These
partisars not only dismissed professors who were
we'll known educators, but have refused to pay
them the salaries due them, amounting to sever
al thousand dollars, and have done this in the
face of an opinion by the attorney-genera that
these balances past due ought to be pad; and
the money is in the treasury to pay them; and
still these partisians refuse. And to put cap
sheaf on this meaness, according to the Topeka
Journel, one of the college professors, named
Nichols, left his. post OF duty, and went to To-
peka to use his influence i'll carrying out this
contemplate scheme to Withhold from these
worthy men the money Justly due them. The
people are paying Prof. Nichols big salary,
and he had better remain at the college and at
tend to his duties and if he can't do that, let
him resign and make way for some one who
will do it, The truth is, c. B. Hoffman, who
was removed without cause, has more ability
and business sense in minute than this whole
gang OF narrow-mnded partisans have shown
since they were put in Office by Stanley, whose
jumping. Jacks they are.

How would you like to buy horse from the
government and then have your check for the
purchase money returned to you to use, and at
the same time the government go on paying you
a dollar a day for the use OF the horse? Of
course you can't do business with the govern
ment that way. But the Standard Oil Company
does. 1t buys building of the government,
pays for it with check, the government turns
over to it to use in its banking business, and in
addition gets $3.50, 900 year rent for the build
ing. You see our government has pets, but

was stated that the Greek and
Cherokee agreements will be sent
to congress tomorrow. Some i'm
portant amendments will be sug-

with the view of making its pro-
visions harmonize with the new

The secretary of the interior is

Cherokee agreement provisions, in
cluding that to authorize the Indians
to sue in the court of claims for
the Sladee- Bender award, amount
ing to about $1,000, 900. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that congress will

SULTAN VIOLATES HIS PORMISE.
Ey Scripps-McRae Press Association.
New York, April 19.-Oscar
Strauss, minister from the Unit
ed States to Turkey says our
relations with the Sultan are
close to the breaking point.
He regards the situation grave
unless the Sultan promptly
makes good his promise which
was TO pay the indemnity claims
of the American missionaries for
the destruction of eight buildings
of the Euphrates College at
HarpoOt and several buildings
belonging to the American mis-
sionaries at Marash during the
Armenian massacres in 1895.
Diplomacy appears to have ex
hausted itself at Constantinople,
the Sultan having promised to
pay the indemnity claims, which
amount to 800, 900 which promise
was again renewed prior to Mr.
Strauss departure, and although
sixteen months have elapsed
since the promise was first made,
that promise still remains unful-
filled.
Several courses have been
urged on the president for the
collection of the 100000 indem-
nifty, which is admitted by the
sultan to be due to the American
missionaries. Consideration has
been given to proposition to
sieze the Port of Smyrna and
administer it's customs revenues
until the Judgment and expenses
of collection are cancelled. This
course might participate war,
through Turkeys sending
some of its antiquated war
ships to Smyrna to resist the
temporary American occupation.
In that event a necessity for
sending a large feet to the Med
iterranean would create alarm
among the powers and disturb
the delicate equilibrium now ex-
