ABOUT one fourth a crop of hay is
all that will be harvested this year.

sible standing. The contest is so
close that it will be difficult to de-

REGENTS HERE.
Most Important Meeting of the
Year now on.

uOtng over Href1ntfnaFy NOTh-Rest
are Expected in Later-Gonflicting
Views as to the Outcome of the troub-
les Mt the University.
The board of regents has CON
vened with five members present.
They are Regents Sturgiss, Powell,
Hamill, Eastman and Brown. Their
first session was held to day and
they will be in session several days
before the adjournment The rest
of the members are expected in this
afternoon or evening. A full meet
ing of the BOARD is expected.
1t is too early to tell what the out
come of the present meeting will be-
The only matters taken up as yet
are routine business matters and
these are being disposed of as fast
as possible. The presidents report
is receiving first attention.
Among the matters that are to be
settled at this meeting are the Pres
ident's resignation, the charges
against the professors he wish
es dismissed and the delay of the
contractor in closing up the con-
tracts and beginning work on the
new buildings. All of these are of
absorbing interest and they are
probably ranked in the minds of ev-
eryone in the order named.
The outcome OF the scrap between
the President and the members of
the faculty whom he has seen fit to
attack is the chief matter of specu-
lation. There are almost as many
theories asthere are people encounter
ed. There is grave fear that the Pres
ident will be retained. This is tenn
pered by the announcement that the
faculty are also to be left alone
While this is good news to some
extent there will never be satisfac-
ton here nor over the state until
the the President is removed. The
University is in grave peril with
him connected with it and if the re-
gents disregard the plain facts of the
situation they will have "a hard
row to hoe from now on This is the
view of all who are conversant with
the situation.
tits too early to tell how the board
will line up and the best friends Of
the institution are hopeful that it
will all come out right in the end
They are satisfied that the board
knows what it ought to do and they
believe. that it will follow out the
plan what will rebound to the great
est good to the institution.

A Wanton Insult.

1t was during the heat of war be.
tween the United States and Spain
that former Secretary of War Alger
performed one service to his country
for which he should be remembered.
The occasion was the receipt of this
epistle:
Santiago. July z5. 1898.
"DEAR Mr.. SECRETARY: l am writ
ing with the knowledge and approval
of General Wheeler. We earnestly
hope that you will send us-most of
the regulars, and OF any rate the cav.
airy division, including the Rough
Riders, who are as good as any regu.
lars and three times as good as any
State troops-to Porto Rico. There
are 1900 effective men in this divIs-
ion; if those who were left behind
were joined to them, we could land at
Porto Rico close to 1900 men who
would be worth easily 10, 900 national
guards, armed with black powder and
Springfield or other archaic weapons.
'Very respectfully,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
To this insolent insult to the brave
young men in the field Secretary Alger
sent the following reply:
"Your letter of the z3rd is received.
The regular army. the volunteer army
and the Rough riders have done well,
but suggest that Unless you want tc
spoil the effect and glory of your vic.
tory, you make no invidious compari
sons. The Rough Riders are no bet
ter than other volunteers. They hao
an advantage in their arms, for which
they ought to be grateful.
