BARS OUT COLLEGE POLITICS
Mrs. Stanford Declares Herself Ms 10
the ePOlicy OF Uni
versity.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. AT meeting
Of the trustees Of Leland Stanford. jr., uni
yersity today, Mrs Jane Stanford read an
address to the board. setting forth her
directions in the management OF the uni
versity. The address was significant, for
the reason that II bore on the recent
troubles at Stanford resulting in the res
ignation Of certain professors after the de-
livery OF opinions which the university au-
thorities thought in conflict with the in
terests OF the university. Today's was the
first public reference Of Mrs. Stanford to
the matter. she said in part:
During my administration the president
Of the university shall continue to have
the exclusive control over the appoint
ment and dismissal of professors and teach
ers. as he has had heretofore. The uni
versity must be forever maintained upon
strictly nonpartisan and nonsectarlan
basis. It must never become an instru-
ment in the hands Of any political party
or religious sect or organization
II desire that the university shall for
ever be kept out Of politics, and that no
professor shall electioneer among or seek
to dominate other professors OF the stu
dents for the success Of any political party
or candidate, in any political contest. I
hope that every voter, whether professor
or student, will always thoroughly inform
himself upon every principle involved and
as to the merits of every candidate seeking
his suffrage, and then vote according to
his own best judgment ana conscience,
Irrespective OF any importunity OF others.
And in order to freely do this he should
not be subjected to any Importantly, since
It is possible that cases might arise where
a mere suggestion might be understood to
be a covert demand"
Mrs. Stanford announced that, pursuant
to her power as the surviving founder OF
the university. she had selected Whitelaw
Reid OF New York and George e. Crothers
Of San Francisco as trustees to I'LL va
cancies in the board.
Mrs. Stanford also announced the letting
Of contracts for a gymnasium to cost about
100000 and the approval Of plans for a
great library to accommodate over 100000
volumes and containing accommodations
for twenty -four department libraries. There
are now nearly $s,0oO.0O0 worth of build
ings under way. including the library, all
OF which is being paid for out Of the in

STATISTs PRAISE FOR SHAW
London Financial Paper Approves His
Course I'm Overriding Treasury
Precedent.

LONDON. Oct 4.--The statist this morn
ing says that the feeling on the Stock ex-
change, where the week began in gloom,
was very rapidly changed by the bold and
statesmanlike action Of Secretary OF the
Treasury Shaw, who has shown a readiness
to assume responsibility and face a grave
emergency which ought to. earn him
high reputation among his countrymen.
The Statist credits Mr.. Shaw with saving
the money market trouble. casting aside
routine traditions and EN-. policy
which had hitherto been , bfy, have
been forbidden by law. "
The paper attributes the strine
Wall street to unwise banking legtsIe
and an antiquated treasury system, whic.
wlthholds vast sums of money from the
public in times of exceptional demand
The Times says the demand for bar gold
on American account remains as keen as
ever, despite the rise in the Bank Of Eng
lands discount, the hrmness of sterling
exchange and Secretary OF the Treasury
Shaw's relief measures"
The Economist, commencing the action
of the governors OF the Bank Of England
In raising the bank rate Of discount to 4
per cent, says II is cnly surprised that
this step was delayed as long as it was.
but the diminution Of the reserve by
e2,7O0.O 900 left no alternative. The paper
attributes the shortage OF money largely
to the gold intercepted by New York. 1t
considers the action Of the United states
treasury as palliative only and questions
the legality Of Secretary Shaw's action in
reducing the bank reserve.
BERLIN, Oct. S.-The Reichbank state
ment published today having shown the
existence Of phenomenal pressure, the bank
has called a special meeting for tomorrow
to raise the discount rate to per cent.
which Is considered certain. The banks
status shows l06.OO0.O 900 marks decrease in
the note reserve. against 93.750 marks for

ever before, except on September 80, 1899.
