MS mAsrra's VOICE"

At a meeting of the Colby trustees
held in Portland, Monday, it was voted
that in the future nine members of
that body shall be elected directly by
the alumni of the college. OF these,
three are to be chosen each year for
three year terms. Thus of the 81 mem
bers of the board, nine will hereafter
be elected by the alumni; while the
others will be the choice of the board
itself which has been hitherto wholly
a -perpetuating body. This rep
resentation and voice on the board is
something that the alumni of the col
lege have long been striving for, and
the concession granted is regarded as
an important one and likely to have
much influence on the future policy of
the college.

Appropriations for Canal.

1t is considered doubtful whether the
appropriation OF S4o,oco,ooo for the
purchase OF the property OF the Pana-
ma Canal Company and the appropria-
ton OF $Io,ooo,ooo for the payment to
Colombia and for preliminary work
upon the Isthmian canal, as provided
in the Spooner act. are legally avail
able upon the ratification OF the canal
treaty by Colombia.
II the treaty just ratified by the Sen
ate complied with the law making the
appropriation the money would be
available for all the purposes desig-
mated immediately after the ratification
by Colombia. The appropriation
however, is made conditional upon GER
tain things specifically and distinctly
indicated, and the treaty, it is assert
ed, does not comply with these con
ditions. If the law officers OF the Gov
ernment deal with this question in
conformity with their custom in deal
ing with appropriations the money will
not be available. but will have to be re-
appropriated with the conditions in
consistent with the treaty omitted.

WITH THE NATIONAL LAWMAKERS.
February Breaks Record.

The February figures of the Bureau
OF Statistics just made public, show the
largest exports of any February insthe
history OF United States commerce, and
also that the exports for the three
months ended with February were larg
er than those OF the corresponding pc
riod OF any earlier year.
On the import side the figures show
a continuation OF the growth which
has characterized the last two years,
and the figures OF the eight months
ended with February suggest that the
imports of the United States in the fs-
cal year 1903 may exceed $1,000, o,ooo,o 900,
while the export figures seem likely
to exceed 81, 400 900 900.
In February the exports amounted to
SI2s, 5o2, los, which is SI2oooooo in ex-
cess of any preceding February. TAX
ing the three months ended with Fcbru-
airy, 1903, the total exports are $4oI ,s26,-
200, against S2Is,15I,47I in the three
months ended with February, 1893. These
large figures, the Bureau of Statistics
bulletin says. are due in part to the fact
ing the markets OF the world, to which
the United States was able to make but
slight contributions last year. the corn
expectations in February, 1908, having
been 100000 bushels, against a little
over 100000 bushels in February last
year. Cotton exports also show a marked
gain over those of last year, the value of
cotton exported in February. 1908. being
$}7,423,5I7, against S24, 4,76S76e in Fcbru-
ary of last year.

and after closing the windows. so that
the cats could not get out, started to
kill them.
He saw three pairs OF fiery eyes glar-

cats were biting and growing. but Bar

at ones head. He missed. and then
the three animals sprang at him. one

other clawed savagely at his breast.
He tried to shake them off, but

on his shoulder by the throat. As he

threw it 10 the ground, placed his foot
on it and then killed it with his club.
In the meantime the other cats made
things lively for Barrett, tearing his
clothing in shreds and lacerating his
flesh in several places. Barrett had
fought for over half an hour before he

Ex.CoEfederate Pensions.

The Interior Department has decid-
ed that the bar to allowance OF pensions
to soldiers who served in the Union
Army during the Civil War and who
had previously served in the Conied-
crate Army is removed by Section 1
oi. the joint resolution OF July /, 1902,
relating to pensionable status OF such
soldiers.
1t is held to be unnecessary for such
claimants to file new application for
pension subsequent to July /, 1902.
The application Of these veterans FL
ed previously to that date, it is held,
gives them legal status as pension
claimants. The decision was the last
one signed by Assistant Secretary
Campbell before relinquishing his OF
fice. The department holds that claim
ants who have been pensoned and af-
terward dropped from the roll because
OF such service are entitled to rcstora-
ton, and that those who had claims
pending which were rejected under
departmental decision in 1894 are cnti-
tied to nave their claims adjudicatcd
on their merits. Notwithstanding pre-
Nious Confederate service.
