this time. Some of the members OF
the association do not like the idea OF
travelling on Sunday and the effort is
now being made to change the date N
Difference to these members, so that
the start can be made on the 14th,' in
stead of the 18th. The idea is still to
be away a week and spend four full

Since physical training aims at per
fecting the body as an instrument, and
at rendering it the willing, prompt
and efficient servant OF an intelligent
mind and sensitive and enlightened
soul, it cannot be gainsaid that phys
icai training lies at the foundation OF
mental or moral training, or that it
enters and must enter as a more or
less prominent and necessary factor
into great number of our education
al pocedures. The full success or
failure of physical training, therefore,
does not relate to the size or strength
of the red meat We call muscles, but
is measured in part by our achieve
ments in the domain Of mind and the
domain of conduct.

NEW DOKMlTURY.
Plans Submitted For The New Euild.
ingS at Winthrop.

At the meeting Of the board OF trus-
tees of Winthrop College steps were
taken looking to the commencement
of the work on the new dormitory at
the earliest possible moment.
The board had Architects Milburn
and Wheeler before it and discussed
with them what is desired in the way
of plans and specifications. They
roughly estimated that the buildings
desired by the trustees-the new dor
mitory and a model school building
would cost $4,000. exceeding the ap-
preparation allowed by the general as
sembly considerably. The archtests
were told to cut off some of TIE "frills
and furrbelows" and submit plans and
specifications within the appropria-
ton. When the plans have been sub
mitted and are approved, the board
will proceed to advertise for bids for
the erection of the buildings, and
award the contract at the earliest pos
sible moment 1t is the earnect desire
to have the new buildings ready for
the opening Of the regular scholastic
year next fail.
The board unanimously decided t
close the college one week earlier than
is announced in the catalogue-on
March instead OF March 13.
This announcement was made in the
chapel the morning after the board
reached it's decision by Gov. Nc
Sweeney, the chairman OF the board.
He told the girls that he and the LII
nority of the beard had endeavored to
get them holiday at Christmas; now
the minority had captured the maJorl'
ty and the girls would go home one
week earlier than expected. The an
nouncement is said to have been re-
ceivei with vociferous applause by the
large feminine audience.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
telephone, in its present state of de-
velopmeut, affords, in many in stances,
q perfectly satisfactory service to the
subscriber, there are many important
problems in telephone engineering yet
unsolved. This leads naturally to
the inquiry: Why are there so few
really competent telephone engineers?
1t is a most attractive field OF work,
aud offers certain rewards to those
who enter it with a proper knowledge
of their profession, says the Electrical

BOERS REINFORCED.
They are Now Facing Roberts AT
0SfOn.e.n
GATHERED ABOUT 5000 STRONG,
And are Located Eigh! Miles East of
Paardeberg--Roberts Able to Cope
With Them.

London, by Cable.-Lord Roberts, at
Osforkein, six or eight miles east OF
Paardeberg, faces the reformed Boer
army from 5000 to 5000 strong. This
may be merely corps of observation
ready to retire on prepared positions.
Doubtless it is receiving accredons
from the late beseigers OF Ladysm IN
and from other points. Whatever the
force may be. Lord Roberts has ample
troops to cope with it. The Boers are
temporarily favored by a heavy rain
falling on the veldt and making the
grass improve. Lord Roberts has sur
yrised observers by the excellence OF
his transport during the first advance,
and he is likely to do so again, al
though military men here think he
must wait for some days before going
much farther. The Beers, presuma-
bly,, will use this delay for all it is
worth, pulling their resources together.
DR.. Ieyds gives out the opinion that
the British entry Of BlCemfontein Is
daily expected, as commandments We
wet and Delarey had beer instructed
to retard the advance of Lord Roberts
until the concentration, under General
JouLert. had been accomplished.
No adequate explanation is yet made
of the 10000 re-inforcements that are
preparing for Lord Roberts. Such eE-
plantations as are advanced tentatively
Suggest either that the Cape Dutch
have become more restive, or that the
imperial government has hint of for
eiSn suggestions as to the future
status of the allied republics.

lowing from General Butler:

The agent of the department OF
agriculture sent to make q study of
conditions in Puerto Rico confirms
the favorable impressions already ex-
listing in regard to the future possi-
bilities of that island and its advau-
tages as new field for the enterprise
OF the American farmer. Mr.. Cook,
the agent, says that whereas but little
tropical fruit and other plant projects
are now exported from the island, an
unlimited commercial demand exists
for them. and it only needs American
enterprise and energy to increase the
products millions of dollars annually.
In the matter of coffee Mr.. Cook thinks
the island may be made to supply at

aside from the excellent training
in ease OF Eeariug and in logical
thought and expression, which is
gained through the practice Of debate
ing, the eincreasiug enthusiasm for these
intellectual contests in the colleges
throughout the country is to be en-
couraged, because of the tendency to
select for debate some subject OF vital
and timely interest, rather than one
which is purely technical or historical.
This tendency is of special Importance
for the reason that college life offers
so few incentives to healthy interest
in the outside world. Many sub, ects
of present public interest are threshed
out by the innumerable debating clubs
and class teams. II can scarcely be
doubted that the thought and discus
sion stimulated by these debates,
which hold such an important place in
the college world, will have distinct.

eleven men are missing, according to the
rolls of the Seamans Union. and of these
three are known to have been drowned.

WASHINGTON. May A-The duty of
the United States towards its island pos
sessions" was the subject OF heated discus
sion in the senate again today. Soon after
the senate convened Bacon began an ex-
tended reply to the speech of Platt of
Connecticut. delivered yesterday His
speech was largely supplemental to that
which he delivered several days ago de-
manding an investigation of Cuban fnan-
cial affairs. His resolution, to which there
is little or no opposition, under the rules
went to the committee on contingent ex-
penses.--
The remainder of the afternoon was oc-
cupied by Spooner in concluding his speech
on the Philippine question. The debate
which he aroused took a turn decidedly
political. He charged the so-called anti
imperialists with creating an issue which
was not legitimate. Many of his state
ments were controverted by Allen of Ne
braska and Pettigrew of South Dakota.
and the controversy at times became al
most personal.
Bacon Replies to Platt.
Bacon called up his resolution directing
the committee on relations with Cuba to
investigate the receipts and expenditures
of money on Cuba, and addressed the SEN
ate in reply to speech delivered yes
terday by Platt OF Connecticut. He main
tained It as duty congress owed to the
country and to the Cubans to make the
investigation. There had been, he said
such looseness in the conduct Of Cuban
affairs that It caYed for a most rigid and
searching investigation. He said the great
purpose OF the investigation which he pro-
posed was not so much to entrap the man
or men who might have stolen hundreds
of thousands of dollars, as an expert ac-
countant might do. but to ascertain
whether by fraudulent contracts or other
devices Of corruption the millions handled
by the officials in Cuba had been disposed
of dishonesty.
Insinuations of DishOnesty.
His purpose was to ascertain whether
these millions had been expended honestly.
economically and properly. even though
the books might balance and might show
no discrepancies, He called attention TO
the large expenditure made by the officials
in Cuba for per diem," "miscellaneous,"
salaries, carriages and equipment" and
declared these subjects never had been in
vestigated. although the postoffice depart
ments attention had been directed to them
He declared. In discussing the various
departments of the Cuban government that
