EASIER FEELING.
Everyone Feels that Better
Days are Coming.

Hard to Tell Why They Think So
Nothing Tangible in The air But
They Feel Sure That the Worst is
not Going to Happen-EYents of Last
Night and To-day.
Yesterday afternoon the sessions
of the board were not productive of
anything sensational and the mem
bers have become very uncommuni-
cative. To al inquiries they re
turn the same answer that they can
not tell anything that they have
done. The rumors and reports that
are flying over town are neither af-
firmed nor denied.
The feeling among the students is
becoming more intense. The women
students have become injected with
it and yesterday afternoon a mass
meeting was held and many of them
signed petitions praying for the dis
missal Of DR.. Raymond These pc
titions also asked for the retention
of the professors who are under fire
They are not expected to have any
weight with the board
Last night three OF the professors
were before the BOARD It had been
thought that they would be refused
any hearing whatever but the re-
gents finally allowed them to come
to it.
They were not told what the
charges against them were Prefs
Armstrong and Douthat and James
5. Stewart were up. The meeting
was held in the Peabody A lot Of
questions were asked each one of
them but none of them were told in
anyway OF the charges that had been
brought against them by the Presi-
dent who has hidden behind this ac-
ton on the part of the board and
has presented things that could not
stand if they were investigated.
This morning DR.. Hartigan and
Prof S B. Brown were before the
board but nothing has come OUT in
relation to their effect on the mem
bers
Prof. Thompson of the preparato
ry department failed of re election
at the session on Wednesday, This
has not been given out in the routine
proceedings that were issued by the
President of the board but his name
does not appear in the list of those
who have been elected.
This afternoon the feeling is much
easier. Where this comes from is
hard TO tell but it exists and is felt
by everyone. The board was still in
session at two o'clock having been at
the University all morning. They had
DR.. Hartigan and Prof Brown before
them to-day. What the results of
this hearing will be is hard to tell.
A few have stated that they expect
vote this afternoon. Others think
that the whole matter will be post
poned until the June meeting. This
if done will mean the retirement of
the president and the retention of the
members of the faculty attacked by
him.
In case the vote comes at the pres
ent meeting of the board the pro-
gress attacked will probably be
dismissed. That the board will do
nothing as rash as this is hardly
thought of IN view of all that they
have learned since they came to
Morgantown. They will probably
show that they intend to do the
right thing.
A postponement to June is proba-
bly, the nearest they will come to
sustaining the charges that have
been made against the faculty. This
view may be wrong but it is that
taken by the greater majority of
people this afternoon.

the foreign affairs of the United States
with distinguished credit to the Ameri-
can people. In releasing us from the
vexatious conditions of European al
lance for the government of Samoa, his
course is especially to be commended
BY securing to our undivided controi the
most important island of the samoan
group and the best harbor in the South
ern Pacific, every American interest mas
been safeguarded
We approve the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands to the United States
We commend the part taken by our
government in the peace conference at
The Hague. We assert our steadfast
adherence to the policy announced III
the Monroe doctrine. The provisions OIL
The Hague convention We're wisely re-
garded when President Mckinley ten
dered his friendly offices in the interest
Of peace between Great Britain and the
South African republics. While the
American government must continue
the policy prescribed by Washington
affirmed by every succeeding president
and imposed upon us by The Hague
treaty of non-intervention in European
controversies, the American people ear
nestly hope that way may soon be
found, honorably alike to both contend
ing parties, to terminate the strife De-"
tween them.
In accepting by the treaty Of Paris
the just responsibility Of our victories
in the Spanish war, the president ana
the senate won the undoubted approval
of the American people. No other
course was possible than to destroy
Spain's sovereignty throughout the
West Indies and in the Philippine IS
lands That course created our rfspoh-
sibility before the world, and with the
unorganized population whom our IN
tervention had freed from Spain, 10 pro-
vide for the maintenance OF law ana
order, and for the establishment OF good
government, and for the performance
of international obligations. Our au-
thority could not be less than our re-
sponsibility, and wherever sovereign
rights were extended it became the high
duty of the government to maintain its
authority, to put down armed insurrec-
ton and to confer the blessings OF I'D
erty and civilization upon all the res
cued peoples. The largest measure OF
self government consistent with their
welfare and our duties shall be secured
to them by law.
To Cuba independence and sef-goV-
eminent were assured in the same
voice by which war was declared, and
to the letter this pledge shall be per-
formed.
The republican party upon it's history,
and upon this declaration of its princi-
pies and policies, confidently invokes

ment of the American people.

THE FAMOUS GENTRY SHOW.

A Great Treat for the Children and
Others, Too-Opens To-Day.
Professor Gentrys school of perform
ing dogs and ponies, which are to ex-
hibit under tent in this city, at Kim
berly avenue and Grant street, for three
days, beginning to-day, June Il, Will be
a great treat to the little folks Inc
show will give their street parade about
10 O'Clock thi snoring. Starting from
the show grounds, the procession will
parade the principal streets. 1t will be
a unique and pretty display, in which
all the dogs, ponies and monkeys will
be seen, to say nothing about the tiny
elephants, the military band and all the
other numerous features of this excel
lent show. All the little folks should
be on hand to see the street parade,
which will be the prettiest ever seen IN
this city.
The exhibition, while it is especially
attractive to the children, is equally
enjoyed by the older people, and the
many additions which have been made
to the show this year make it more at
tractive than ever. There is hig
troupe of monkey actors this season in
addition to the dogs and ponies, all Of
which have some new act to present.
The dogs and ponies reception at the
conclusion of the performance is one
of the lately added novelties, at which
the children are allowed to ride the po-
MES and caress the dogs, all of which
are very fond of the ladies and chill
dren.
The performances begin at 2:S0 and 8
p. m. Admission, children 20 cents,
adults 80 cents.

ers. This would explain the absence
of direct communication.
What considerations weigh against
the foregoing conjectureT ore. the
struggling reports OF a massacre, but
these are contradictory and might APP
ply to the legation guards without In
volving the ministers themselves.
Another, the apparent unreliability OF
the messages purporting to come from
the Pekln government, but these might
be put forth for the deliberate pur-
pose of effecting delay and confusion
until the Pekin authorities had evolved
a policy. a third, the asserted ignor-
ance of the Chinese, tending to make
them Indifferent to consequences, but
this does not convince us that the
ruling class in China, largely men OF
the Ii Hung Chang type, are half so
ignorant or short sighted as might be
inferred from the superficial appear
ance OF this present muddle.
So that, in the absence OF evidence
and having to rely wholly upon con-
lecture, we venture the guess that the
ministers are alive and safe and that
proof OF this will shortly be forthcom-
ing. Our only surprise is that 1t has
been so long delayed.

Weighing the Odds.

" N THE ENTIRE absence at time

foreign ministers, what consider
ations are there to support a contect-
ure that these ministers are yet alive?
Apparently:
% The absence of corroborated re-
port to the contrary, A month has
passed since communication between
the ministers and their governments
ceased. In this interval it is reason
able to suppose that the governments
have tried in every way possible to
restore the severed communication. 1t
is also reasonable to suppose that no
private effort or expense has been
spared to penetrate the mystery. If
there had been a wholesale murder of
the foreigners in Pekin, could the news
for so long a time have been kept
from travelling the eighty miles be-
tween Pekin and Tien Tsln? Without
processing to have special knowledge
of Chinese conditions, we incline, on
general principles to believe that it
