SKATING POND FOR co.Eps.

Certain social distractions at North western university, at Evanston, IT,, of which there has been much com plaint by the parents of the students at the institution, may be stopped if the plans of Prof. Algie R. Crook to construct skating rink materialize.
 Prof. Crook has announced his in- tention of utilizing for the purpose the vacant half-block just north of Willard hall, the home of the co-eds. He would have the university author ities prepare the lots so that they may be flooded before cold weather. The concrete sidewalks would serve as banks for the pools on three sides. Fraternity men, who have heard of Prof. Crooks scheme, have offered to build seats for the skaters, and sug- gest that each secret society build one and name it after the fraternity. On account of the proximity of the lots to the dormitories the young women are taking kindly to the prop osition. They laugh at the sugges- ton that it is a scheme to keep them away from the Chicago parks, where many of them go skating in the win ter.

Co MfrOversieS over Marriage Laws.
 A law has been passed in Norway providing that in future any woman who desires to get married must pre- sent to the proper authorities a cer- tifcate showing that she is skilled in the arts of cooking, sewing, knitting and embroidering. There has been for some time an agitation in Norway the object of which was to secure the passage of law prohibiting those persons who were in any way physic- ally defective from marrying, and or daining that marriages should only be allowed to take place between per- sons who could show diplomas of sound health. Many objections, how ever, were raised against such a law and as a substitute the edict requir- ing women to be skilled in the house. hold arts has been passed The young men of Norway are jubilant over this victory. but the young women are naturally wondering why no certifi- cates are to be required from men which shall prove that they are able to support their wives. For this req son they consider the new edict as unfair, and they add that it would never have been passed if Ibsen. the noted drainatist and woman's cham pion, who is now hopeless invalid, had been able to protest in his own vigorous fashion against it.-N.

POSITION OF GERMANY.
Is Stated by Chancellor Won Buelow
in the Reichstag.

Berlin, March 15.-The imperial chan
cellor, Count Won Buelow, in a speech
in the reichstag today, admitted that
differences of opinion had arisen be-
tween the powers in regard to Chinese
affairs, but he hoped they would be
overcome
The debate on the supplementary es-
Inmates Tor China furnished the op-
portunity for the statement from the
chancellor. In anticipation of some
thing interesting occurring, both the
floor of the house and the galleries
were filled. The chancellor began by
declaring that the negotiations on the
Chinese question were making slow
but steady progress. Although it had
not been easy to secure an agreement,
owing TO the naturally conflicting in
terests of the different governments, it
had been possible to draw up q reason

of the powers thus far had been pre-

Washington, March 15.-An order
was sent to General Chaffee today for
the evacuation of China by American
troops, leaving only a legation guard
Of 80 men. The troops will be removed
from China the last of April. The dis
patch to General Chaffee in Pekin is as
follows:
In reply to your telegram the secre-
tary of war directs you to complete ar
rangements to sail for Manila with
your command and staff officers by the
end of April, leaving as a legation

1t was said at the war department
that this closes up the Chinese cues
ton so far as the war department is
concerned as the protection of the le-
cation can in no sense be taken as oc-
cupation of Chinese territory, and the
guard cannot be used for any other
purpose.
The transports Sumner and Indiana
will be sent to Taku to take the troops
in China to Manila. These troops con-
sist of the Ninth infantry, four troops
of the Sixth cavalry, and the light bat
terry, formerly commanded by Captain
Reilly Two transports will bring away
the LOO animals which have been used
by the army in China.
General Chaffee has advised the de-
partment that the best place of en-
barkation is Taku, which, no doubt,
will be clear of ice on the date fixed
for departure.

The license committee Of tho select
council met last night in city solicitor
Watson's office and spent two hours
and a half in considering the various
license tax ordinances proposed by the
latter official and introduced in select
council last Thursday night by Coun-
Gilman Cosgrovc.
There was a general discussion as to
the advisabilty of reporting favorably
Gron all of the first section of the or
dinance which provides for 4 tax ot
two per cent. upon the gross receipts
of telegraph. telephone. electric light.
heat and power and steam heat COM
panics and for tax of five per cent.
upon the gross receipts of gas, water
and street railway companies.
While all Of the wcnbers Of the
committee present seemed to favor the
imposition of such Il tax upon these
several corporations nevertheless there
was a difference of opinion as to tho
advisability of providing for all in one
ordinance. The members seemed to
have a prcmonition of the strength Of
the influences which will be brought to
bear against this part of the ordin
ancc and appeared little bit shy of
biting off so much at once.
City Solicitor Watson suggested that
1t might be advisable to cut out all
except the provision for tax on
street railway companies and intro
ducc gradually separate ordinances
covering the other corporations. Mr..
Costello was inclined to agree with
him on this point but the committee
finally decided at the suggestion Of
Mr.. Costello to report favorably upon
all of this section.
The committee decided to introduce
an amendment reducing the tax on
public halls having a capacity of less
than 500 from $50 to SO. An amend
ment cutting out the tax of 81 on one
horse wagons and of S. on two horse
wagons and inserting in lieu thereof
a similar tax on one and two horse
cabs was adopted. Another amend
ment agreed upon provides for a tax
of $40 on wagons used for carrying
baggage.
Another amendment provides for a
reduction of the tax on book agents
from S25 to s1O and for an increase Of
the tax on lumber dealers not subject
to the mercantile tax law from so to
S25. Another amendment approved Of
increases the tax on real estate agents
from $40 to 80.

a verdict Of not guilty is to be taken
- tomorrow. likely, and on Sunday
next the Scrantonian will print a re-
traction of everything it ever said de-
rogatory of President Mitchell and the
other officials of the United Mine
Workers.
The settlement was effected at a
meeting in the office of O'Brien &

which began at ) o'clock last evening
and continued for three hours. Mr..

present all the leading Mine Workers
officials of this district. and Martin

immunity from prosecution is all
that Editor Little gains by his retrac-
tiCn. AS to the matter Of putting the
Scrantonan back in favor with the
| labor unions is left to work itself out.
| President Mitchell and the other Mine
Workers refused to interfere in this
| affair.
| Out of charity for the defendant. Mr..
Mitchell agreed to refrain from prose-
| cutting him. providing he gained for
himself and his colleagues a complete
vindication. AS to the future of the
paper which libelled them. he had no
concern.
The dismissal of an offensive MEM
ber of the Scrantonian staff was de-
cided upon by Mr.. Little as one means
of proving himself repentant.
Another conference of the parties to
the settlement is scheduled for today.
The arrangement for the payment OF
the costs by the defendant is prac-
tically all that remains to complete
the negotiations.
