The present system is illogical, but the student body are going to make brave at tempt as the officers also will, to live under 1t until the trustees can assemble and cor rect it, where their wisdom will dictate. The present meeting was an emergency one, and that having disappeared, 1t adjourned to it's regular meeting.
 ''It is most likely that from now on will be a memorable year at the university for well-read studies and perfect order. The university is growing and prospering. Per- haps the present demonstration was just shaking off a coat which it's development had outgrown."

WAR OFFICE REFORM.
William St. John Frederick Appoints
 Strong Committee.

London, December 1.-The Secretary of State for War, MT. Wm. St. John Broder- ick, has appointed a committee to deal with the question of War Office Reform. The committee will consider the system or con- tracts and the possibility of further decen- tralzation and more expeditions working The chairman of the compoittee is MT Clin- ton Edward Dawkins of the firm of J. N Morgan & Go.
 The other members of the committee are Sir Charles M. Glynn, Earl Welby, who was private secretary to the Marquis of Lansdown, while the latter was chief sec- retary for state for war; Col. George Sy- denham Clark, superintendent of the royal carriage department; MT. George Stegman Gibb, general manager of-the Northeastern Railway; MT. Ernest William Beckett, Con- servative member of the House of Con- mons for the Whitby division of Yorkshire, and Mr. William Mather, Liberal member for Rossendale. The committee will meet in January.
 MT. Frederick Is warmly congratulated upon the appointments he made. The com- mittee is considered strong one MT. Daw- kins' administrative and financial ability are well known Sir George Clarke Is an ardent advocate of army reform. MT. Beck cit is banker and an able financier MT. Mather is an other shrewd business man. He is an engineer. MT. Gibb is capable railway organizer. The only doubtful mem- Der Is Sir Charles Welby, who has long been connected with the war office, having been private secretary to the late MT. Stan- hope, while secretary of state for war, as well as to Lord Lansdowne later, and who is regarded as an upholder of the existing system.
 Approval of the composition of the com- mittee. however, does not simply approve of MT. Broderick's action. The Daily News and the Daily Chronicle, and even some Conservative papers, complain that the ex- pedient of appointing a committee really means shelving urgent reforms.

THE BATTLE DESCRIBED.
Colonel Leggis' Troops Arrived in Time
 to Save the outposts.

London, December 17.-A morning paper has the following description of the battle at Magaliesburg from it's correspondents
 "Delareys 1000 men, against whom Gen eral Clement had fought repeated action with were suddenly, unknown to General Clements, reinforced by 5000 men from Warmbaths, under Commandant Boyers. At daybreak Colonel Leggis' picket de- scriber what seemed fresh force of Brit ish troops thirty yards distant The strangers were challenged They replied with a voley, revealing 400 Boers in khaki. The firing became heavily and the noise aroused Colonel Leggls' troops, who arrived just In time to save the outposts from capture.
 furious engagement ensued. Artillery was brought up and 1t compelled the Boers to retire. Colonel Leggis following up the withdrawal was shot dead by bullet through his head.
 General Clements and his staff soon ar- rived The staff suffered severely, but General Clements appeared to have charmed life.
 While mounted men were driving the enemy back along a slope covered thickly Wltn bOeT QedQ, d uSdIeIhuS denly broke on the plateau above. The sig nallers photographed that the Northumber- lands were being attacked. General Clem- ents. convinced that they would easily hold their own, disposed of the remainder of his forces on the Hanks and rear of his two camps.
 At 4:3O a. m. heliograph from the vest ern peak announced that the Boers were about to overwhelm the fusiliers. General Clements was unable to send adequate help, but dispatched yeomanry to climb the pre- cipitious hillside and create diversion. Be- fore they could come into action the Boers had overlapped the Northumberlands and were in possession of the entire horseshoe firing down on the yeomanry, entangled in the bushes and boulders.
 "The Northumberlands made magnif- cent defense as long as their ammunition lasted. According to Boer accounts many, even when resistance was hopeless, died fighting
 General Clements, now left with TOO men. made superhuman efforts against the bullets from the Boers pouring over the peaks and managed to save his guns and the camp equipment He retired in splen- did order, and at p. m. started to march to Rietfontein, fighting rear guard action all the way and arriving the next day at a. m.
 Lord Methuen, according 10 another dis patch from Lord Kitchener dated yester- day attacked and captured a Boer laager near Lchtenburg, Transvaal, December A. securing large supplies of cattle and sheep and considerable quantity of ann intuition.
 A further dispatch from Lork Kitchener, dated Pretoria, December 16 says that Lord Methuen has official confirmation of the report of the death of Colonel Lemler, the Boer commander.

 service at the university, answering the question as to whether the rebellion could be cured by wholesale dismissal, said sub- stantially that such might produce soli- tude, if that could be called peace.
 Before the assembling of the full board the committee of students counselled with me and others as to their duty in the prem ises. Of course 1t was explained to them that the board could not treat with t3ees under the present conditions, and that they must place themselves under the law bS- fore appealing to it. A general meeting of the students was had Friday night and they were together some hours Finally they called Hon. Francis Pettus, speaker of the House and chairman of the legislative committee, to address them. Their meet ing was private and no doubt his remarks were, but every one in the State who knows him knows just what he said. It had fruit, for shortly afterwards he ap- peared before the board with the resolution of the students, which you have pub iished.

But the sweetest music I ever heard was when the objectionable tattoo call sounded Friday night, and the boys adjourned their meeting, and ran cheering down the steps, fell into ranks un- der military discipline, and sent the re- bellion of 1900 into history

 WITHOUT PRECEDENT
CContinued From First Page0

T. c. Mcclellan, another or the executive committed, reached here wired the other members of the Board of Trustees to come to Tuscaloosa al once. To this telegram all but four trustees responded. The first meeting of the trustees, with Governor William D. Jelks presiding was held Fri day afternoon at o'clock, and the Board of Trustees made a thorough and full in vestigation of the testimony before the fac ulty and court of inquiry, which had at the beginning referred the matter to the ott1- cials of the school. Right here 1t may be said that one of the amusing features of this court of inquiry which assembled the day after the disturbance was the fact that one of it's members was one of the leading men in the rebellion.
 While the trustees were in session Fri day night the 0o the boys) objectionable 93O tattoo was sounded For a solid week this call had been contemptuously ignored by the cadets in barracks. But the trustees heard remarkable noise when it sounded Friday night. It was the boys coming down to answer roll call. And it is said sigh of relief went up.
 Boys Played New Card.
 This was a new cara the DOyS were pldy- ing, and the exact meaning of it was not known. But in few minutes Speaker Frank Pettus of the Alabama House of Representatives appeared in the trustees room with a communication from the ca dets, made through their duly appointed committee of control The contents of this communication have not been given out but it pretty generally understood that 1t was merely a statement that they were willing to return to military duty from tattoo call Friday night It was learned that Speaker Pettus, who has son at the university, made the boys a strong talk and advised them to pursue the course in- dicated In their note to the trustees, and this is said to have been the reason why the boys answered the call

 italy for Revenue.

Manila, December 16.-Advices from Iloilo, Island of Panay, reports that the American troops have been moving north ward and westward for several days and that attachments of the Sixth, Eighteenth and Twenty-sixth regiments have been ac- tive near these stations.

 The Americans have lost one killed and two wounded
 General Wheaton reports that 43O natives have entered Calano for registration.
 Most of the time of the Philipine Com mission is now devoted to the tariff bill. Judge Taft said today that, generally speaking, the new rates would be about 40 per cent of the existing rates. Tt will be essentially tariff for revenue" he re- marked, 'but some of the industries that are already established will be given pro- tection The commission is not consider ing the question of the conditionality of taxing United tSates products. The pre- cedents have been established in the case of Porto Rico and by the military govern ment of the Philippines The bill requires the washing of cotton goods so as to elim- mate the clay used by European manufac- turers which increases the weight. This will incidently favor American goods. The rate on kerosene will be reduced from Il cents a gallon to cents. Some American goods will be admitted free and almost all will come in at reduced figures.
