 The girls were on their way to ban- quet given by the freshmen. The build- ing was surrounded by mob of un- invited students, bent on kidnapping as many of the male guests as possible A number of the latter disguised them- selves as girls, in order to pass through the line.
 One young man. thus attired was identified as he stepped into the light of the main entrance. The mob tore his silk dress to tatters and dragged him away. After this the besiegers were suspicious and as the guests approach ed, those who were girls or appeared to be. were halted and made to thrust forward their feet for examination.

plain fact that the moral one of CO., educational institutions is distinctly higher than that of the community at large and is certainly not inferior to that of schools for one sex alone
 But, on the other hand, one hears oftener the claim that the increasing number Of women tends to feminate the institutions where they are, in some cases to such an extent to discourage the attendance of men. It is urged with increasing persistence, that the social distractions and dissipations, with their widening invasion of the se- r1ous purpose that should go with school life form a very serious prob- lem; while others emphasize the fact that the broad difference in the future careers of the two sexes should find a more adequate recognition in the col- lege curricula.'

Copenhagen, March 2S.-The Christ mas scandal is not discussed here, nor are the facts in the case published in Copenhagen, although full account of Congressman Richardson's statements in congress was telegraphed to the semi official news agency in this city.

DRIVE AGAINST DELAREY.
DETAILS OF KITCHENER'Sl EFFORT
 TO CAPTURE BOER LEADER.
British Moved Quickly and Surprised the Burghers but Most of Them Els capped Through Gaps tn the Gordon adiaHs-An Instance of Boer Resource fniness.

|
 Pretoria, Transvaal Colony, March 2S.
 About 1,5OO Boers, under Delarey, Lie
 benborg, Kemp and Wolmarans, were
 within the area of Lord Kitchener's lat 1 est movement, but, though surprised by troops, gaps in the latters lines enabled most of the burghers to escape. The | Boer prisoners numbered 179 men, in-
 cluding Commandant H. Kruger and
 ex- -Landrost Neethling of Klerksdorp.
 From the first prisoners captured it was learned that General Delarey him. self was outside the actual cordon, hay ing slept some distance westward, but I4febenborg, Kemp and other Boer com-
 manders were inside the columns of
 troops The first body, consisting of
 about 800 Boers, sighted at 10 o'clock in
 the morning, March 24, reteated at full
 speed, making for a gap between the
 British columns. A race for the open
 ing ensued British mounted infantry
 which had already ridden upwards of fifty miles, pressed their tired horses until they gave out when the men Juulptu On anu ldttu lcl W al u Oll Abpi-
 Some of the mounted men, however, were able to gaIlop right into the gap just ahead of the burghers, whom they met with a warm fire. These troops also succeeded in driving back a body of 3,500 Boers, who were forced to de- sert the guns they had captured from the Von Donop convoy Southwest of Klerksdorp) in February. The Boers tried to get through several openings, but on each occasion were forced to double back until they ultimately found gap and passed out of the British lines within sight of Klerksdcrp. Night fell before the pursuing columns could overtake the Boers.
 Five Canadians who fell out of their 1 column and tried to work their way 1 back were surrounded by a Boer force | and made splendid defense. But final 1 ly. seeing their case was hopeless, four | of the Canadians surrendered, The l fifth however, indignantly refused to | throw down his arms and continued a | single handed fight until he was killed. | This was regarded as one of the most | incidents of the day.
 An instance of the resourcefulness of | the Boers was given by Liebenborg and several hundred men. Taking advan- tage of the confusion of the drive, Lie benborg and his followers formed a similar in arrangement to that of British column, and, moving close to one of the numerous gaps in he British lines, succeeded in reaching this opening before their ruse was de- tected and got safely away.
 The guns captured from Won Donop's were brilliantly recaptured by he Scottish Horse, who charged up to he muzzles of the artillery and rode he Boer gunners off their feet before he latter had chance to fire

LAW TOO sL0W FOR THEM.
A Respited Murderer Hanged by Wy
 oming Mob.

Casper, Wyo., March 2S.-Charles
 murderer of Sheriff w. c. Kicker of
 this county, was hanged in his night
 clothes at 1 o'clock this morning by a mob of twenty-four masked and armed men, on the scaffold erected for his le- gal execution. The men overpowered Sheriff Tubbs secured the keys and led the condemned murderer from his cell with as little ceremony IS possible. At l o'clock there came a loud rap at the sheriff's door and twenty-four armed men demanded the keys of the jail. On refusing the demand Sheriff Tubbs was seized and bound and the keys secured. The prisoner was then led to the saffold erected in the jail yard on which he was to have been hanged to-day, but for the intervention of respite granted by the supreme court. While the moose was being adjusted Woodward talked rapidly. His words were partly incohe- rent, but this was gathered from his talk:
 Boys, let me kneel and pray. I want to pray for all of you and send message to my blessed little wife. love her dearly and want you to tell her that. I pray that you will have the papers print if.
 T pray for you, Charles Kicker, and for all of you. I never had a grudge against Sheriff Kicker, never in Gods world never meant to shoot him. For Gods sake don't choke me to death. Oh" and then Woodword leaped off be- fore the trap could be sprung. Then somebody gave the condemned man a push forcing him on to the trap and the rope began to tighten. Woodward gave a leap before the trap could be sprung and fell off the gallows, hanging himself.
 Sheriff Tubbs found pinned to the scaffold this note: 'The process of the law is little slow. This is the road you will have to travel. Murderers and thugs beware
 No one could be found to-day who could identify any member of the mob.
 Late this afternoon the county attor- ney received a telegram from Acting Governor Chatterton calling upon him es "the county prosecutor to institute and make thorough investigation of the crime with the view to the punish ment Of the guilty parties"

RHOD ES' WILL.
Assertion That His Vast Fortune Is
 Given for Education

London, March 29--The Daily Mail says it is in a position to assert that the late Cecil Rhodes left the bulk of his fortune outside of some personal and family bequests, to the promotion of his vast imperial plan of education This project embraces every land where the Union Jack flies. The purpose is the in- tellectual betterment of the British race throughout the world and the fostering of the imperial sentiment
 The Daily Mail adds that this idea of better fitting younger Britain" to cope successfully with rival nahonaIfties was long a dominent theme with Cecil Rhodes, but that even his closest friends little imagined the absorbing hold it obtained upon him until this was disclosed by the terms of his will. The details of this plan of education will be made public in few days.

 Bribery.

Washington March 2S.-The state de- partment will take no steps to bring to the attention of the Danish government the charges against the integrity of American statesmen preferred by Cap tain Christmas and yesterday brought to the attention of the house of repre- sentatVes, The department regards the charges as unworthy it's attention by reason of insufficient evidence and obvious errors in statements of alleged facts The department is perfectly aware also that the Danish government does not intend to pay one cent of the $J00,0O0 claimed by Christmas ds his commission, so that of course none of that money could be used to corrupt American statesmen and newspapers.

PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT.
DETAILS OF THE MEASURE FINAL.
 DECIDED UPON.

ness as the Mexican-WiIl Carry an American Device on One Side and an
 Washington, March 2S.-The republi- can members of the senate committee on the Philippines held meeting to- day and decided finally as to the de- tails of the Philippine government bill. The currency question was the princi pal topic of conversation again to-day and the provision for supplying the Philippines with q circulating medium as prepared by the subcommittee com posed of Senators Allison, Beverdge and Dubois was finally accepted.
 This provision as has been heretofore stated is that there shall be coined a Philippine dollar of the same weight and fineness as the Mexican dollar and the British dollar. It is to be bullion dollar, but the volume is to be limited only by the demands of business.
 The coin will carry an American de- vice on one side and an Oriental de- sign on the other. and it is calculated that it will in time be a very popular coin throughout the eastern world.
 The amendment also provides for sub sidiary coinage sufficient to meet the wants of the Philippine people. The coinage of this silver will be done both in America and in the Philippines. The full committee will meet on Monday and it is the hope of the republican members that the authority will then be given to report the bill to the sen ate.
 The provision in regard to mintage is that the Philippine currency shall be coined in the Philippines as soon as the facilities are provided but that in the it may be coined in the Unit ed States mintiat San Francisco. The dollar provided is made a legal tender in the Philippines but not in the United States.
 The republican members at their con- ference also considered the question of authorizing legislative assembly for the Philippines, but concluded to omit all legislation of that character and also to make no provision for delegates pr commissioners in congress from the l Philippines.
 Provision for complete census of | the islands is, however, to be included | in the bill. This is not to be a mere | of the people but an inquiry | nto their educational attainments and | property requirements with the view | of securing information of character which may be of use in future legisla- ion for the islands.
