The rekents' committee ON classic
cation and course of study, with Pres
tdent Chalmers NJ chairman, held .
meeting ut the agricultural college
1t BrookingA, and arranged for print
ing the new eatalog. Among the
changes made in the course of study
was one providing for a higher stand
ard Of students entering the CONNER
cial course.
Pc Hereafter students entering that
course will have to possess the same
qualifications as those entering the
freshman class. This is move
ment in the right direction and will
greatly strengthen the commercial
course, as a graduate from this course
under the new standard will be
equipped with fair scholarship as
well as q technical training in steno-
graphy and typewriting.
This committee is wholly made up
from members of the faculty who are
at the head of departments in the in
dustrial lines and was created by. the
regents of education about year
ago, on motion of Regent Slocum, in
the belief that such members Of the
faculty having in charge the work
OF classifying students would be more
likely to classify them in the agricul-
tural and other industrial courses
than would professors at the head
of other departments.
President Chalmers, by action of
the regents, is chairman of the COM
mittee, and Professor Wilson, as vice
president, will hereafter act as vice
president of the college-ia the alb
sence Of the president.

TO DEFEND COAST.
General Macarthur Urges Necessity
for Pacific.

lOT &CihCs
Washington, Sept. 2l-General Mac
Arthur, commanding the Department
of California, in his annual report, says
the Importance of an artillery reseve
for the Pacific coast cannot be overes.
timated, and he recommends that the
entire organized militia, OF all ans To-
Gated within easy distance OF San Fran
cisco be invited to Participate in course
of coast artillery training at the Pre-
eidio. He has the following to say on
desertions:
Zone thousand three hundred and
forty three men deserted during the fis-
cal year. OF this number Ola we're
from the garrisons of the department
and represent approximately 1912 per
cent of the main strength thereof for
the year. The remaining 430 were
from recruits, casuals and regiments
passing to and from the Philippines.
SIT is not apparent why SO many men
resorted to this method of separating
from the service, and if the depressing
result coruld in any way be attributed
to American methods it would certainly
Justify the deepest solicitude on the
part of all concerned in the military
administration of the army.
GAS a matter of fact, however, the
American soldier is so we'll provided
for in respect to all his material neces-
stiles and his personal appearance, and
is so carefully safeguarded in respect to
all matters of discipline that a conclu-
sion arises spontaneously in the minds
of ex experienced Investigators to the effect
that desertion, to large extent, ls in
cidental to human nature rather than
an expression of specific defects in mill
itary system, and as such is not within
the scope of ordinary methods of con-
troll.
SIN the light of past experiences and
conditions it seems apparent that tie
United States as nation must accept
desertion as a necessary evil until en-
lightened public opinion can be Undue
ed to believe that it il not only as 1t
affects the army as an organization,
but in remote consequence a menace to
the stability of eur institutions through
it's corrupting effect upon the military
ideals of the population that must FUR
nish the forces upon which the repub-
lie must always rely in time OF war;"

Calls on Adee for Protection.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-The Chinese
M mister called at the state department
and laid before Acting Secretary Adee
dispatch which be had received from
the Chinese consul general at San Fran
cisco, detailing the attack made on a
number of Chinese at Tonapah, New.
The consul reported that the labor
union at that place had driven all the
Chinese away and that seven or eight
we've seriously wounded, one, an old
man, being nearly killed. He reports
that five Chinese are missing, and asks
for protection. Acting Secretary Adee
wired the governor of Nevada asking for
an immediate investigation, and re-
questing that he afford every protection
in his power to the Chinese residnts of
Tonapah.

TOO MUCH FREIGHT.
Blockade of NOrthbound Goods at
White Horse.

Dawson, Sept. 18.-A giant freight
blockade has occurred at White Horse,
with prospects that big share of late
shipments via Skagway may not reach
Dawson before the close of navigator.
General Manager Newell, who is now
here. received telegram from River
Superintendent Scharschraidt, at White
Horse, saying 5000 tons of freight has
accumulated at the warehouses there.
Mr.. Newell estimates that 1000 tons
more are to come up the coast. Others
say there is much more.
All the available upper Yukon fleet,
including the independent steamers, is
in commission. The river is very low,
and the stemaers can handle only half
cargoes. Should the weather turn sud-
denly cold, their carrying capacity will
be greatly reduced. The fleet now ham
dies 800 tons weekly. Three weeks
is the longest it is expected the river
will remain open. 1t may close much
sooner. The camp will not suffer save
from higher prices and perhaps a few
shortages.
The Stewart river is also very low.
Low water prevents getting in 300 tons
of upper river freight wanted at Dun
cans, and the camp is greatly set back.
Mark Alcock, formerly of Vancouver,
B. c., has been drowned here.
