The Dangers of Interfering.

From the New York Tim es;
"An amusing incide mt of colleg
life has just been related to me-" re-
marked Seth Low at little informal
luncheon, recently.
"A Western seminary for young
women was having much difficulty in
maintaining discipline. 1t finally
came to the ears of the faculty that
the students were preparing to give a
nocturnal reception to number OF
young fellows from neighboring
military school. The visitors were TO
ONE after nightfall and be hoisted
nto the dormitories in baske
dropped from window at the end o
a rope.
zone professor at the seminary
agreed to take the matter into his own
hands, and prepared a surprise for
the transgressors. After all the guests
had made the trip in safety he stole
from the place where he had been in
hiding and slipped into the basket.
The signal TO hoist was given, and the
professors upward journey began.
lie was so much heavier than those
who had gone before that reinforce

the girls brought the handle of th,
basket on level with the sill. Tn,
light from the window shone upon thu
bald head of the intruder, and he wa
recognized. The professor heard OF
rantic scream of terror in unison fr,
cadozen charming pupils, and then
Mr. Low paused.

THE PROTEST WAS FILED
SIMPSONS Side Laid Before Secretery
Long

Washington, Dec. 20-Sampson's
protest to the minority verdict of the
court of inquiry was fled today.
Secretary Long Immediately took it to
the President where it was discussed
before the cabinet met. 1t is under
stood that Secretary Long presented
Schley's bill of exceptions to the
majority verdict at the same time
SIMPSONS protest was brief and
only contained about a thousand
words. The main contention is that
the question of who was in supreme
command was not raised in the pre-
cept; that Sampson was not allowed TO
present his testimony on this point;
that therefore it could not properly be
made the subject of the finding. Ac-
cordingly Secretary Long is asked
to cut out the minority verdict from
the report.
The statement of objections quotes a
remark made by Schley indicating
that the greater part OF the fleet when
the battle opened was closer to the
New York than the Brooklyn, in which
state of affairs the regulations of the
navy and the customs of the sea place
the absolute command and full re-
sponsibility in the senior officer, "
The protest further said that the
Brooklyn's maneouver's during the
action destroys any claim that Schley
might have had to the supreme COM
mand. The findings as to the looI
show that it was done to avoid dan
ger to his own vessel, without warning
TO the squadron, in total disregard o
the Aeet's formation.
The minority opinion directly con

GERMANY'S CLAIM
will Have Something TO Say About
Nicaragua Canal

New York, Dec. ia special to the
Herald from Washington, says:
1t is learned that Germany expects
to have something to say about the
Nicaragua canal because of the inter
ests of German corporation in a
concession that will be interfered with
and possibly destroyed by this con-
struction. This interest has been OBJ
tanned through the purchase by the
Hamburg American Steamship com
pany, of the Atlas Steamship COM
pany. The former is a German cor
poration and the latter is British.
The Hamburg American company
is subsidized by the German gov
ernment and its ships can be called
upon for auxiliary cruises of the Ger
man navy in time of war.
Under the conceshion from Nicara-
qua which the Hamburg American
line has acquired, it is asserted by
foreign diplomats here, exclusive
navigation rights of the San Juan
river and of Lake Nicaragua are Sc
cured to the German company.
The history of the concession before
it came into German hands dates from
before 1877.

London, Dec. 1S.--David Lloyd
George, M. F., in speaking in Birm-
ingham town hall tonight, precipi-
tated scene unprecedented in that
city since the Ashton Park riots.
The majority of the audience we're
hostile to the speaker and we're en-
ragged by his pro-Boer and anti-Cham-
berlain utterances. They rushed the
police Gordon guarding the platform.
In the meanwhile the building was
besieged from the outside by mob of
several thousand people, who smashed
windows and tried to force the doors,
which had been barricaded. They
fusiladed the audience with stones
through the windows.
The police reserves were turned out
and succeeded in dispensing the mob
after repeated charges. A number of
persons we're injured and the town
hall was completely wrecked not a
single window was left whole.
The Birmingham riot is considered
a curious illustration of the varied
career of Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain,
the colonial secretary.

FINDING APPROVED
Long Passes on the Result of the
Court of Inquiry.

BY scrlpps-McRae PTess Association.
Washington, Dec. 21.-At noon to-
day Secretary Long approved the
finding of the Schley court of inquiry.
The Secretary's endorsement is as
follows: "The department has read
the testimony in the case and the ar
guments of the counsel at the trial,
the courts findings, the fact, the opin-
ion and recommendation and individ-
ual memorandum of the presiding
members and the statement of excep-
tions to said findings and opinion of
the applicant, the reply to the said
statement by the judge advocate of the
court and his assistant and the brief
submitted by the counsel for Admiral
Sampson traversing the presiding
members view as to who was in com
mand of the battle at Santiago, and
after'a careful consideration the find
ings of the fact and the opinion of the
full court are approved"
The secretary holds that the court
could not enter into the question of
who was in command and accepts the
recommendation with no further
proceedings. The Secretary also
declines the application of Samp-
sons counselto enter upon an inquiry
as to who was in command, and noti-
fies Schleys counsel of this fact as a
reason for declining to hear from
them on that point.

CITY Treasury Recovering

There are few things about town
that are of such general interest as the
condition of the city treasury. 1t will
be remembered that it was pretty
badly exhausted after its round with
the water and light plants, the former
having exceeded the bond issue many
thousands of dollars. At the last re-

be good news to know that the finances
are getting on firm basis again.
