CINCINNATI. Jan. 27.-The attitude OF
the students Of the University of Cincln-

ture. Two meetings have been held in the
university building. one composed OF sym
pathizers with the outgoing professors and
the other largely of friends Of President
Ayers. Paudemonium reigned at both
meetings. Miss Amelia Hickenlooper, the
daughter OF Gen a. Hickenlooper was
chairman OF the anti-Ayers meeting. The
purpose was TO pass resolutions of sympa-
thy with Prof Meyers in his resignation
and structures on President Ayers. When
the resolution was proposed il was follow
ed by motion TO adjourn which was lost
by 2 close vote
During the demonstrations a faculty
meeting was held in President Ayers
room and shortly after the announcement
was made that Prof. Brown, of the chair
Jf English literature and a text book au-
thor of considerable reputation, had also
resigned. This was received with wild en-
,husiasm by the Meyers sympa;hizers. At
the faculty meeting all OF the professors
were present President Ayers asked them
to sign pledge to remain in the faculty
until the end Of the year. They unani
mously refused, but each assured him on
their word of honor they would remain in
the year out.

Judge Advocate General Lieber has held
that the soldiers are not liable to answer

Mr. Roots letter is in part as follows:

that the occurrences to which he refers
as a cause for the arrests. which be does
not purpose to permit. are occurrences
which took place on the reservation. Such
occurrences. the learned attorney general
Of your State, in the opinion which you
were good enough to transmit to me, dat

States. and not within the jurisdiction Of
the State of Texas
1t appears. so far as any papers which
have come to my notice are concerned.
that no one OF the military reservation
was wounded or struck by any shot fired
during the occurrences in question, so that
no act done on the reservation took effect
on the reservation, and there is there
fore, no occasion for applying the rule laid
down in the numerous and unquestioned
cases. which hold that an offence is deem
ed TO be committed where the act takes
effect. l beg to assure you that there is
no disposition on the part Of the military
authorities Of the United States to inter-

MINERS THREATEN TO STRIKE.
The Coal Operators Refuse to Con-
cede Their Demands.

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 27.-The confer
ence between the coal mine operators and
the miners committee appointed to fix a
scale for 1900 has resulted in a good deal
Of ill-feeling. and the indications now
point TO the adjournment Of the confer
enCe without reaching an agreement. FOR
a year past the Illinois mine operators
have been paying for the mining of coal
on the run Of the mine plan. They want
10 adopt the screen system, and the mi
ners demand that this be abandoned In
Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and the
scale be based on the run CT the mine"
The operators also refuse to consider any
dinerenual between pick and machine-
mined coal. aud thus the two are far apart
on what each regards as essential to its
very existence.
The operators cOncede an advance o. 10
cents per ton. but the miners refuse to
consider anything until the first two mat
ters are disposed Of. They declare that a
failure to agree on a scale will result in
calling out 100000 miners in the four
States represented in The conference.
