HARFARD'S ANNU4L REPORT.
Voiuminous Volume Made Public by
 President Eliot.

Cambridge Mass, Jan. 2S.--The an-
 nual report of President Eliot, of Har-
 yard university, which was made pub
 lie to-day makes, with the statement
 of the treasurer and departmental re-
 ports, a volume of 413 pages. President
 Eliot says the new relations of the
 United States to tropical people make it
 desirable that anthropologicaI instruc-
 ton at Harvard should be enlarged, along with the instruction in economic botany, government institutional his- tory and national, state and colon al ad- ministration. As the law school is un- willing to give this instruction in ad- ministration it will have to be develop ed in the graduate school. The presi- dent deplores the fact that candidates in the graduate school for the degree of Ph. D. average thirty years and says the proper age is twenty-five or twenty six. He calls attention to the unique policy of Harvard in requiring the de- gree of A. B. for admission to all it's professional schools except the dental school. The increased requirement. for admissions to the college and the corre- spending increase in efficiency in sec ondary schools make it easy for a stu dent to gain the degree of A. B. in three years without lowering the previous standard of the degree. The president appends a table for the past ten years which shows that athletic success or failure has little to do with the size of the freshman class following it. Tennis is the most popular sport at the uni versity, having 79O adherents, while rowing has GAO football PAP, baseball 22O and track athletics 146 The president comments on the crowded condition of the library. Of the Harvard union the president says it's success has been im- mediate and decided.
 Tn regard to new buildings and col lections he says that the running ex- penses in many ases are as yet unpro- vded for. He says the income of $10,- 900, 900 could be applied within a week to university objects long known and studie ed, and then the presi- dent and fellows could not relax for a moment their cautious methods.

NO SCREEN THIS TIME.
Dowagcr Empress VIII Meet the Min
 tstcrs Face to Face.

Pelxin, Jan 28.-The emperir will give
 an audience to the diplomatic corps here tomorrow, when the dowager en- press will assume the position of de facto ruler. She will then meet the ministers for the first time officially, sitting beside the emperor and not con- cealed by a screen, as has heretofore been the custom.
 Governmental business will be prac- tically suspended for one month on &C., count of the Chinese new year festivi- ties.
 While the Manchurian treaty is all most ready to be signed, it probably will not be signed until after the new year. Russia has not committed her. self in writing to a reply to the written statement of the Chinese plenipotenti- aries, containing the objections of the alter to the treaty, but it is learned upon the highest author ty that Paul Lessar, the Russian minister to China, has verbally conceded all of China's ob iections to this treaty, excepting the Chinese demurrer to the prohibition of taking artillery into Manchuria with out the consent of Russia. This ap- pears to be a comparatively unimport- ant point and M. Lessar is communl- eating with the government concern- ing it.
 Russia insists that new agreement with the Russo-Chinese bank be signed simultaneously with the Manchurian treaty. This new agreement, which it has been meant to keep secret, and with success, is most important to the other governments in that through the Russo Chinese bank it gives Russia exclusive mining and oth- CT privileges. It is said that Russia se- cures compensation through this agree ment with the bank for her apparent on the treaty.
 Prince Ching, in this connection, says Russia has our terri tory we have been compelled to buy it back, and we have made the best bar gain we could, securing material reduce tions in Russia's original concession"

Ovcr 4OU B0ers Atileo, WOunded, Cap-
 tured or snrren dered the Past Week.
 London, Jan 2S--A long dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Johannes burg, Monday, January 27, gives details of the military operations since Janu- ary 21 They are mostly unimportant, but indicat tive of continued activity on the part of the Boers. General Methu- ems Yeomanry got into trouble near Rietolei, western Transvaal, and lost eight men killed, five wounded and for ty-one made prisoners. The latter have since been released. This was offset by General Bruce Hamilton's pursuit of the Boers in the vicinity of Ermelo, Transvaal colony, which resulted in breaking up a Boer laager at Nelspan. The Boer losses were two men killed, four wounded and ninety-four made prisoners. including Field Cornet De Villiers, Captain De Jager and Lodwate De Jager, former member of the First Volksraad In addition Colonel Plumer captured fifty-five Boer pri- yates.
 Lord Kitchener reports that Field Cornet Bodes' command quarrelled while discussing the question of surren- der Bodes and three of his followers The other encounters have losses were thirty-one men killed, twen- ty wounded, 322 made prisoners and fif- ty-three men who surrendered.

Old Sea Captain's Views Given Before
 Senate eSub-Committee

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Captain J. S. Bryan was before a sub committee of the senate committee on inter-oceanic canals to-day. His is an old sea cap tain He expressed a strong preference for the Nicaragua route on grounds both of climate and feasibility. One objection to the Panama route raised by him related to the harbors. He said that on the Atlantic end of the proposed line there is no harbor at all, rendering it necessary for ships to put to sea in case of a storm, while on the Pacific side sailing ships entering the harbor invariably find themselves be- calmed. In that harbor, he said, tow for two miles out was necessary.

Introduced in the senate Just Before Adjournment Yesterday Afternoon by MT. Spooner-PracticnIly Auth orlzes the President to Choose Between the Panama and Nicaragua Routes-Other Sweeping Powers Given Him.

Washington, Jan 2S.--Just before the adjournment of the senate to-day Sen- ator Spooner introduced a substitute for the Nicaragua canal bill The new Dill is practical authorization of the president of the United States to choose between the Panama and the Nicaragua routes. The first provision looks to the acquisition of the fran chises, right of way and other proper ty of the new Panama Canal company of France. including that company's control of the Panama railway. The president is authorized to pay $40, ,000, GOO for these provided a satisfactory title can be obtained"

A canal sufficient to ac- commodate the largest vessels is then to be constructed under the supervi- sion of the secretary of war
 The bill carries an alternative pro- vision authorizing the president to pro- ceed with the construction of the Mica ragua canal in case he fails to secure the necessary concessions from Colom- bia or satisfactory title from the Panama Canal company
 An immediate appropriation of s1O,- 000,000 is made in either event The linn it of cost is fixed at $135 000, 900 in case the Panama route is chosen, while $1S0,000,0O0 is allowed in case the choice falls on the Nicaragua route.

MOVEMENT FOR B0ES PEACE
ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE HOUSE or
 COMMONS.

Government Of Holland offers in the
 Most Friendly Terms to Help in
 Bringing 1t About-suggests That it
 be Permitted to Act as Diplomatic
 Agent for Boer Deiegates-British
 Government Doubtful of Results.
 London Jan. 2S.-The government leader, A. J. Balfour, announced in the House of Commons, to-day, that no overtures for peace had been received from any one authorized to speak in behalf of the Boers. A communication was however, received late on Satur- day last, from the Dutch government, which was now under consideration. MT Balfour said that he hoped soon to lay the communication and the reply to it before the House.
 Later it was learned that the govern ment of Holland has offered in the most friendly terms to help in bringing about peace in South Africa. In com munication to the British government, the Dutch government suggests that it might be permitted to act as a sort of diplomatic agent for the Boer dele gates, but expressly disowns any at tempt at intervention, and does not mention any terms.
 The British government infers that it would not have been approached unless the Dutch authorities were convinced that the Boer delegates now in Europe were willing to accept the cardinal points of the British peace terms, so frequently announced in parliament
 Lord Lansdowne, the foreign secre- tary, replied in friendly terms to the Netherlands proposal, but instituted inquiries, in order to ascertain the ex- tent of the powers delegated to MT. Kruger and the other Boer representa- tives in Europe to act in behalf of the burghers in the field. Great doubt is expressed at the foreign office here as to whether any negotiations carried on by the Boer delegates through the Dutch government or other channels will prove effectual. If satisfactory

remarks. He @as attempting to de-
termine who to give them to, when
a number of Tammany delegates sur
rounded him and, pressing him
against the wall, took the notes from
him and tore them up. Luckily he
had preserved copy in his pocket,
and this copy he managed finally, az
ter recovering his hat and glasses, to
hand to the newspaper men. The
Straus incident ended objections to
the ticket and the rest Of it was nom-
mated without any question or objec'
ton whatever.
Some Points CT Platform.
The platform, in part, calls for
fteadfast fidelity to American princi-
pies, for the lack of which it arraigns
the Republican party; demands the
return to the principles Of Thomas
Jefferson to stop decentralization Of
the country; opposes trusts that In
juriously affect consumer and en-
ployer and drive out small manufac-
turers, and especially condemns the
so-called beef and coal trusts for "un-
reasonably depriving people Of the
necessities of life"
Restriction of the amassing OF
wealth is advocated and the smeni-
ment of the tariff law by placing the
necessities of life on the free list Is
demanded. The Dingley tariff law is
condemned as a whole. The president
is criticized for dilitary conduct, and
is accused of not wanting to offend
the trusts.
Wants Anthracite Property Seized.
The platform asserts that the prop
osition to amend the United States
constitution to enable the federal gov
eminent to proceed against the trusts
is a mere subterfuge to get delay;
condemns the neglect Of the national
and state administrations to enforce
the Sherman law and the Donnelly
state law; favors trade expansion, but
objects to this country "apeing Eng
land in trying to establish a colonial
government" Condemns the action
Of the government IN It's treatment
OF the Philippines; demands justice
for Cuba in the matter Of trade by
reducing the tariff to a strictly reve-
nue. basis; demands public ownership
Of the anthracite coal mines by the
right of eminent domain and the pay
ment Of full damages to owners, so
as to insure peace in the mining re-
gions and relieve the country; ar
raigns the state administration for
extravaganza in the administering OF
state affairs; sympathizes with the
Jews in Roumania; favors the cleo
ton Of United States senators by d.
rect vote, and condemns the national
administration for trading judicial
positions for state aid"
