LONDON, Nov. 20-The judgment of the
Admiralty Court was rendered to-day in
the action brought by the owners of the
British bark Embleton to recover damages
for the sinking of that vessel by the
Cunard-line steamer Campania in July last
during a heavy fog about six hours after
leaving Queenstown. the collision resulting
in the drowning of eleven of the crew of
the Embleton, which was loaded with dy-
Mantle. The court found that the Cam
pania's speed was excessive and that the
Campania was solely blamable for the sink
ing OF the Embleton, and judgment was
pronounced accordingly. The Cunard Com
pany intends TO make an appeal.

at Chicago University.

CHICAGO, Nov. c0.-Alarmed by the
death of a student at the Massachusetts,
School of Technology. last week. while
engaged in class lush. the faculty of the
University of Chicago warned the students
of that institution that no class rushes
would be permitted hereafter at the uni
versity, and intimated that those found
participating in an outbreak of that kind
would be expelled. This action was the
result of a resolution passed by the uni
versity council condemning rushes, and
declaring that they should be stopped.
The resolution was read to the junior col
lcge students. consisting of the two great
rival classes, the freshmen and the sopho
mores, at the chapel by Dean George f
Vincent. The action of the faculty at this
time is due TO the fact that a rush was
being planned in a quiet way by the stu
cents for next Friday night.
