Purpose of the Friends of the Chicago
Cniverafty.

Unfversfty.
A special to the Philadelphia Press from
Chicago last night says: A SJo,0O0,000 en-
dowment for the Chicago University! This
newest of universities is to have a greater
financial backing than any seat of learning
in the whole world. So said President Har-
per, in the presence of John ID. Rockefeller,
and Mr.. Rockefeller responded:
More gifts are in contemplation"
In chatting with some women who were
guests at the exercises Mr.. Rockefeller
mentioned the next gift he will make to the
university. Every one present at the time
regarded the statement strictly conf
Dental, but 1t is understood the gift will
be announced as soon as Mr.. Rockefeller
reaches home. At the convocation dinner
last night Mr.. Rockefeller made an i'm
promptu after-dinner speech. He said:
IF may / shall refer to a little incident.
An ignorant young man wanted to enter the
church. Many questions were asked OF
him, at last this one: What DO you think
of Jesus Christi The poor man said: I
have nothing against him. And so say We
to DR.. Harper and to every one. We have
nothing against you We've had most
delightful visit and we thank you all Be-
fore retiring i desire to make reference to
one individual, who is not here-one who 10
as greatly admired and deserves much
admiratio as any man on both sides of the
water. 1 want to ask three cheers for Our
fellow countryman who has given away
more money than any other living man
Andrew Carnegie"
Three cheers were given. Mr. Rockefeller
attended dinner to NJ Cambon, the French
minister. at the Chicago Club and then
called upon his daughter, Mrs Harold Nc
Cormfck. A degree was given to NJ. Cam
bon yesterday by the university.
Mr.. Rockefeller did not care to express
himself decisively when asked IL wealth was
requisite to happiness
rs wealth a necessary requisite to hap
piness?" Mr.. Rockefeller was asked
1T depends upon the man."
"In your case, Mr.. Rockefeller do you
think that wealth is necessary to your hap
piness?'
well. don't know the benefactor Of
the university said slowly. II am happy
now and 1 possess considerable wealth. /
believe that 1 could be happy without
wealth II 1 had the other things in life
which are worth far more. Still 1 think
that / am happier in possession of wealth
than would be without"

increasing OF Street Car Fares Pre-
cipttates a Serious Outbreak.
A special to the New York Herald from
Rio de Janeiro. Brazil, says: Rioting took
place In this city Tuesday over the charg-
ing of increased fare on the Sac Christovao
street railway. A mob set fire to the cars
and tore up the rails. The cavalry charged
upon the mob and wounded many persons.
Barricades have been built in Onyidor
city. The newspapers accuse the chief of
police OF having consented to increase of
car fare because he is a shareholder Of the
company.

quet yesterday in honor of the German

4 SENSIBLE PLAN.
New System of Rewards for the Army
and Navy.

New System of Rewards for the Army
and Navy.
One Of the results arising from the
Sampson-Schley controversy is a re-
commentator by Secretary Long to
reward officers and men of the navy
and marine corps who distinguish
themselves in future, with medals of
different grades. 1t is proposed to
have four medals to be known as the
medal Of the republic, the Paul Jones
medal, the Farragut medal and the
campaign medal. The first named
will confer upon it's recipient the
greatest honor, and is to be awarded
only to the commander-in-chief of a
fleet or squadron who gains a decisive
victory over a squadron of the enemy
equal or superior in strength. This
medal carries with it an increase of
pay of 33 1-3 per cent, which will OBJ
tain in the various grades through
which the officer may be promoted,
and upon his death his widow will
draw pension equal to his active
pay. This pension will continue until
his children shall have reached the
age of Il years.
The Paul Jones medal can be award
ed only to an officer contributing in
a special manner to a decisive victory
over an enemy and will be accompan-
led by an increase of pay of 25 per
cent. The Faragut medal is to be
given to an officer or enlisted man
distinguished by eminent conduct in
action, such as rescuing wounded
man under fire, and a small pension
will be given with it. The campaign
medal will be awarded to officers and
men participating in a campaign.
Congress may well see to it when
ready for business again that this plan
is enacted into law.-Boston Globe,
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1901-03-28
CARS LIFE TWICE III DAh6Ea.

Berlin Especial. 1.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent Of the Tageblatt
says he has learned Of two separate
conspiracies to assassinate the car.
The first attempt was planned to be
OF the naval cadet corps. which the
car had promised to attend. His ma
jesty was ready to start, and was
awaiting his carriage. when Governor
General Reigels arrived at the palace
and informed him he must not go, sew
eral suspicious persons belonging to
the revolutionary party having been ar
rested at the Nicolai bridge, with arms
and forged passports. He Informed his
majesty the prisoners were probably
emissaries Of the central nihilist COM
mittee at Zurich. The visit was ac-
cordingly abandoned.
The second affair occurred in the
middle of January, when the car, &C
companied by his mother, visited the
ceramic exhibition. When entering one
of the rooms the members of the COM
mittee who were escorting the imperial
party noticed an unknown man hur-
riedIy approaching the car AS the
public had been excluded, and those
authorized to attend had been carefully
selected, the presence Of the stranger
excited suspicion. Several of the car
party hastned to meet him to lead him
away. Thereupon the man suspiciously
thrust his hand in a pocket. He was
instantly seized. When he was searched
bomb was found in the pocket.

AGREEMENT is NO NEARER.

Washington, D. Especially Anoth-
er communica ton has been received
from Special Commissioner Rockhin
touching the complications that have
resulted at Pekin from the efforts OF
the various powers to decide on uni
form basis of their indemnity claims,
but there is nothing to indicate that
an agreement is any nearer than it was
when the subject was first taken up by
the minister. Although the state de-
partment is more than ever convinced
that its suggestion looking to the ref
erence of the entire subject of indemni-
ties to The Hague commission is the
true solution of the difficulty, that pro-
position having been definitely rejected
early in the negotiations, is not now be-
fore the ministers. No precise instruc-
lions have been sent to Mr.. Rockhin
within the last few days on this point,
owing principally to the absence of the
president from Washington. 1t is pre-
sumed that, now that the presidents
attention is again directed to the sub
ject, there will be more complete def
milton of policy.

THREE ARE SHOT FOR TREASON.

Capetown.- (Specia1.)-J. P. Minaber,
S. Minaber and ]. A. Neuwoudt were
shot at De Aar last evening for treason
and murder in pursuance of the SEN
tence of a courtmartiaI. The death SEN
tence was passed a week ago, in con-
nection with the wrecking of a train
near Taasbosch, by which five men
were killed. General Kitchener con-
fir1ned the verdict.
The garrison was paraded and the
prisoners were led out at sunset Death
was instantaneous. A Dutch minister
and relatives remained with the pris-
oners until the end. Two others con-
cerned in the train wrecking were SEN
fenced to five years at penal servitude.
A dispatch from Cradock, Cape Col
ony says Colonel Gorringe's force en-
gagged Kritzinger's force of Beers March
Is. The Iatetr had nine men killed and
seven wounded. The British loss was
one man killed and ten wounded.

MRS. NATION WANTS HER RATCHET.

Kansas City, Special Mrs.
Carrie Nation, the anti-saloon crusader.
addressing an open meeting Of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance union in
this city, urged the members to begin
a crusade against the indecent pictures
that hang on the walls of saloons. In
a spirited speech she told them that
they should not be mere seat warm
ers," but active workers in the cause
of morality and decency.
But, Mother Nation complained
Womans Christian Temperance union
woman, haven't we taken down these
pictures again and again without sue
ceeding in keeping them down? What
are we to do?"
Instantly came the reply: eff you
wash your face one day does that re-
MOVIE the obligation the next day?
You must wash and wash and clean
and clean. You must not rest; you
must not tire"
While no action was taken, several
women spoke in defense of Mrs. Ma
TONS efforts against saloons. Earlier
in the day Mrs. Nation had entered
downtown saloon and caused a nude
picture to be removed from the wall "n
had my Ratchet" she said, ST would
go through the place"

TERMS THEY
WILL ACCEPT.
Dewet and BOtha Tell the Conditions They
Would Accept.
Lord Kitchener's Terms Were Not
Acceptable To the Patriots
In South Africa.

-(Special.)-A correspondent
Of the Times who is near Bloemfontein
gives a report that General Dewet, Gen
era1 Botha and two other Boer com
manders, addressing a force of Beers
at Senekal, Sunday, said they were still
able to continue the war. but were
ready to accetp annexation on the con-
dition that Great Britain would guar
antee joint education in English and
Dutch; indemnity to the amount Of 49,,
900, 900 for burned farms; no franchise
for natives; permission to possess sport
ing rifles and amnesty for all bellig-
erents still lin the field.
General Dewet, according to the cor
respondent, has gone north to the
Transvaal, after ordering suspension
Of active operations until his return.
The Daily Chronicle, processing to be
able to give an outline of the negotia-
tions between Lord Kitchener and Gen
eraI Botha, says: 1.-The chief obstacle
to a settlement was Lord Kitchener's
refusal to grant complete amnesty to
the leaders Of the rebels in Cape Col
ony. He offered government on the
lines Of Jamaica Immediately upon the
cessation Of hostilities, with legislative
bodies partly elected by the burghers.
COMPENSATION FOR BOERs.
The government agreed to provide
5000, 900 to compensate the Beers for
property destroyed and articles com
Wandered by the Beers on commando,
providing the signatures of the officers
who Communicated the goods were
forthcoming. He also offered to grant
loans on easy terms for rebuilding and
restocking farmsteads.
Moreover, he agreed that children
should be instructed in English or in
Dutch at the discretion Of their parents
The government undertook to make no
claim on church property or funds or
upon hospital funds or upon private in
vestments. No burgher of either state
was to be allowed to possess a rifle, ex-
cept by special license.
General Bptha was generally in
favor of these conditions, but dissented
strongly from a proposal to give the
domiciled and registered blacks. He was
also greatly concerned about the po-
sition Jewish capitalists would occupy
in the country and was told that Jews
and Christians would enjoy equal rights
and no distinction made in the matter
of CONCESSIONS
The parliamentary papers on the sub
ject are still delayed, but will probably
appear today F'riday).

MAIL BOXES FOR FARMERS.

Washington, D. -(Special0-'If you
Eant a route buy box"
This ruling in connection with rural
Tree delivery service has not yet been
made, but there is a good deal of talk
in the postofice department about it.
So many petitions for rural free de-
livery routes have been received of late
shat the department was utterly at a
loss to understand the reason for it. In
fact, requests for establishing routes
have been something tremendous, and
members of congress have been giving
more attention to the matter than TIC
anything else. It now comes out that
the polite statesmen in Washington
who have constituents on their hands
have been asking for routes simply to
get additional appointments within
their grasp. There is a carrier with
each route, and oftentimes more than
one, and if a dozen routes are estab-
Iished in one state that delegation il
congress has just so much more pat
ronage to handle-and many have been
called upon for official pie since being
returned to congress last November.
The department some time ago decid-
ed to adopt a certain mail box to put
up on the free delivery routes. Each
box will cost from 81 to So. according
to workmanship and size.

VENEZUELA is NOT BELLIGERENT.

Washington. D. C.-(Specia1. 1.-The
Venezuelan charge, Senior Pulido. has a
conference with Secretary Hay to<ay,
but it did not lead to any developments
on the reported friction over Minister
LOOMS or our demands in the case of
the consular agent at Barcelona, Vene-
zuela.
The message of the president of
Venezuela, copies of which have just
been received, makes most friendly ref
erences to the relations with the United
States. The president refers to tn re-
cipt of a wreath sent by patriotic boz
dies in the United States, to be depos-
tied in the pantheon at Caracas in
memory of Miranda, one Of the liber-
atOrs of Venezuela. He says that this
is a significance of the goodwin exist
ing between the two republics. The
message makes no reference to the as
ohalt troubles. It says that the gov
arnment has sent an agent to France
With a view to settling the protracted
preach of diplomatic relations which
has existed between France and Vene-
1uela and that there is every prospect
that these two countries will soon be
IN harmonious relation again.

BEYERS ISSUES A REQUlSITlON.

Des Moines, .-(Special.) -Adjutant
General Byers this morning issued a
requisition on the war department for
$50, 600 worth of clothing and army
equipment to supplant that which was
turned over to the government at the
time the four regiments of the Iowa
national guard were mustered into the
volunteer service at the beginning of
the Cuban war. The Iowa guards were
we'll equipped with clothing, which was
according to the regular army stand
ard. AS soon as the regiments entered
the volunteer service this clothing be-
came the property of the United States.
The requisition today corresponds to
the inventory taken at that time and
receipted for by the government.
The list includes 2O67 trousers, 1884
blouses, 279 non-commissioned officers
blouses, 1,767 overcoats. 785 infantry
blankets, 1855 company hats, 1,341 leg
gings SO trumpets and As music pouches.
The value of the total aggregate nearly
1000. It is anticipated that there will
be no trouble in securing these goods
from the government to replace those
turned over by the state of Iowa. Other
similar acquisitions, though for smaller
amounts, have been honored, and it is
believed this will be.

FOR TEMPORARY IOWA BUILDINGS.

Des Moines, Ia.-(SpeciaL)-Pre
Mclean of the Iowa university and
committee Of regents waited on the
state executive council and secured an
appropriation of $15, 900 from the provi-
Dental fund for the temporary needs
Of the university at Iowa City. Presi-
dent Mclean says two temporary build
ings will be constructed where the
burned buildings stand, each one story
high above Easements. which are left
in good condition. A large part of the
money will be used also to purchase in
struments forlthe laboratory and appa-
ratus for the medical school, so that
by the time the medical college reopena
next fall it will be in as good condition
as before. The present term of medical
school closes soon. The new building
for lectures will be done in a month
and the university will lose nothing By
the fire.
