Rice speculators pefeated.

Manila, Dec 3-The price of rice has
been broken and the native operators

was threatened at the beginning of No

quietly purchased more than 10000 tons
CT rice in India and on the Asiatic coast
to be sold to the sufferers at a cash price
which it was thought would cover just
the cost. The plans of the commission
were concealed in order to prevent pos
sible combna ton of operators with q
view of raising prices. The government
may lose money on it's purchase, but it

Effort to BE Made to Secure
Prof. Shaw for Morn
ing Lectures.

At meeting Of the board of regents Of
the university. held yesterday, the long
planned movement for a great athletic
field for university sports was inau-
gurated. The board decided to request
the attorney general to commence con-
domination proceedings for the acquire
ment of the Islander lot near Northrop
field for use as drill ground. The board
has an option on this land, and other adj
joining lots, and the successful conclu-
sion Of the condemnation proceedings will
assure to the university adequate drill
ground and greatly enlarged athletic
field within short time. The PROPOSE
ton has long been agitated at the univer-
sity. 1t has been felt that it was in
keeping with the high rank CT the insti-
tuition in Western athletics. The football
field, known as Northrop field, has al
ways been considered inadequate to the
athletic needs of the university.
No action was taken concerning the re-
lations of the board of control and board
Of regents. The entire matter was put
over to the June meeting, when the COM
mittee consisting of Regents Rice, Will
son and Liggett will report the results
of a second conference with the board of
control. 1t is understood that a salts

Prof. E. L. McVey's proposition of a
summer assembly at which addresses up

board in the nature of a request for the

The board decided to secure if possible,
the services of Prof. Thomas Shaw,
former professor of animal husbandry as
a teacher at the agricultural school for
the morning sessions. The agricultural
college does not like to relinquish Prof
ShaW's valuable services entirely, and
hopes that he will be able to give a por-
ton OF his time to work at the college.

windows or guarded drives, restricted IN
all intercourse save with ones own Hesh

side those palace walls, beyond those
daily drives were men and women lead

for a hearing preparatory to the vacation
of Market street, from Third street to

The proceedings were in line with the
story printed exclusively in 7 h q b e

to other acts that will make the bluffs
from Wabasha street west one of the
most desirable factory and warehouse To-

The first structure promised is large
cold storage warehouse to take the place
of the one burned a year or two ago. 1t
will be the largest in the Northwest, and,
when completed, will represent an outlay

who asked for the proceedings own much
of the surrounding territory, and this
also will be covered with buildings.

KONG LUN is FIGHTING
DOES NOT WISH TO BE SENT BACK
TO CHINA.

Court Commissioner Spencer has con-
tinued the case of Kong Lun until Mon
day next, and it may be necessary to
take a portion Of the testimony at Chi

Kong Lun, as would be understood
from his name, is a Chinaman, and he
against Chinese immigration Some time
ago he returned from his native country.
and at North Portal, n. D., was refused
admission to the United States from
Canada. He claims domiciliary rights
within the United States on the ground
that he was a tea merchant at Chicago,
and merely went back to China for
visit. so he waited on the Canadian side
until an opportunity presented itself and
then crossed the border to fight the case
here.
The question before Commissioner
Spencer is whether the Chinaman is a
merchant within the meaning of the con-
gressional acts, and he has submitted a
number Of affidavits to support his claim.
