GOPHER ELECTION TORRID
Bitter Feeling Engendered BY tn
BalIOting of To-day. -

Balloting of To-day. ,
The 1906 gopher board election,
which was held at the university this
morning, proved to be one of the bit
terest contests ever held at the big
school. One Of the features of the
early voting, which is being done by
the Australian ballot system, was the
manner in which Horace Reed, can
didete for managing editor, expressed
his displeasure at an article in a
morning paper. Meeting the report
er, he proceeded to mix it up with
him until the crowd interfered. Sew
eral fraternities are mixed up in the
argument, and there promises to be a
pan-hellenic war unless some quiet
ing influence is exerted.
An unusually large vote was polled
at the election, which was over at
o'clock The tellers did not complete
the count until late hour, the con-
tests for several Of the offices being
very close.

GU" ACTRESSES RECONSIDER
Their Threat Not to Play Owing to
q Gossip Is Withdrawn.

That the innocent and not the guilty
may be the most indignant under ac-
cusation has recently been demon
strated by certain co-eds at the state
university. who were charged with too
profuse kissing in rehearsals Of the
sophomore, rhetoric class play. The
earnest artists became angry. They
declared they weren't going to play
any more. But yesterday, when, after
three days Of thought, they were as
sured that this gossip was not only
false but manifestly incredible, the
young ladies consented to remove the
bushels from their lights.
The two farce comedies to be pre-
scented respectively by the rophomores
and the freshmen will be seen on the
same day-Feb. 21-at the university
chapel.

stention from either action or speech which might cause irritation to either Japan or Russia has produced great impression here. The newspapers FS-int prominently articles commend ing the substance and spirit of the proclamation in the highest terms.
 A Newchwang report says that after the removal of the battleship Retvizaa four Russian steamers, the Harbin, the Hailar, the Ninguta and the Sungari, were anchored at the mouth of the entrance to Port Arthur in proper po- sition and sunk, leaving only small channel available, Vice Admiral Maka- rolf having previously ordered the whole fleet to remain outside with steam up, economy in coal being un- necessary.
 General Kuropatkin's train, in which he is now making his way to the far east, is composed of locomotive, ten der, three cars and break van. The cars are covered with steel over three inches in thickness, and it is practical ly an armored train.
 A private telegram says that in Thursdays fighting at Port Arthur the Russians lost ninety seamen killed and forty nine taken prisoners.
 It is said that Vice Admiral Maka- rolf will adopt the offensive and make a desperate attempt to bring together Russia's scattered naval forces to en- deavor to infiict damage upon the Jap anese navy. Vice Admiral Makarof has issued orders to the effect that the saving of coal is unnecessary, but that the big gun ammunition in the forts must not be wasted. Evidently this ammunition is running short.

 To it's credit be it said the Spanish with good drinking water, and city and suburbs are adorned with public foun- tains; but under Spanish rule sanitary conditions otherwise were anything but favorable, the lack of sewer system be- ing constant evil During the wet season, localities given over to the very poor presented sight calling for radical reforms; the thatched-roofed huts stood over pools of stagnant water, the only drainage ditch cut around each square; when the dry season came on and evap- oration commenced there resulted the fever mortality that might have been ex- pected. The task of improving these quarters was taken in hand by the board and great amount of sanitary work ac- complished. There has been a thorough cleaning up of the worst districts, and 9 strict inspection of the buildings main tained.
 In the history of the bubonic plague there is chronicled no other success equal to that won by the plucky battlers of the fearful malady in Manila System and boldness characterized the work, and the number of casses of plague were reduced from the All of 1901 to the three of 1902. Immediately the plague was stamped out, Asiatic cholera in malig- nant form broke out in the Philippines. Though the disease became epidemic, the board of health of Manila labored so untiringly that the per cent. of popula- ton attacked in the city was much lower than in the outlying provinces, where time was lost In enforcing health regu- lations.
 Recent investigation of the contizued excessive mortality in Manila shows that the death rate among infants is very high, and attention now is centered on educating the people as to the care of their offspring. Physicians and nurses have been assigned to the various health districts, and their services for mother and child are to. be given free of charge.
 At first Gas is usually the case when semi-savages come in contact with ham, pering sanitary restrictions) the ig- norant inhabitants of Manila evaded and rebelled against the work of the board of health, thought there wss some more of the new rulers cruelty and tyranny; but gradually they are learning that these efforts of the health officers are being made on their behalf, that here, instead of enmity and oppression, is instance of friendly protection, provi- sion for their welfare X; ~'

DIETRICH INQUIRY. ]. ~ S iaFNAss ss
Senator From Nebraska on
 Stand In Own Defense.
DENIES BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION

Said That Directly or Indirectly He
 Had Never Received . Cent For
 Amy Appointment He Had Made,
 Nor Did He Expect To.
 WASHINGTON, March 16.--At the Dietrich inquiry in the senate Senator Dietrich took the stand and at his re- quest was sworn, although Chairman Hoar stated that the practice of the senate had been not to swear senator on the theory that all senators had equal rights in that body. In reply to Senator Hoar he first reviewed his election as governor and senator and then, in answer to Senator Hoar, said, 'I have never received a cent for the appointment of Jacob Fisher as post mRster." Then the senator told of his relation with Jacob Fisher and how he came to recommend him for postmas- ter instead of appointing him oil in spector. /
 Senator Dietrich stated that while he was governor he had made a contract with the postofics department for the rent of the Dietrich building at $1,SOO. This contract was made with Postmas- ter General Smith. He heard of pro- tests regarding the rent to be paid and told Jacob Fisher that he would take $1 300 for the building, although he felt that he ought not to pay for the fixtures. MT. Fisher responded that he would pay for the fixtures. MT. Diet rich declared that Jacob Fisher would have been postmaster no matter where the postoffice might have been located. He denied that the deed of the post office property was made to his daugh- ter so that he could lease his building to the government.
 Tn reply to. question from Senator Hoar Mr.. Dietrich said that never, di- rectly or indirectly, had the question of money been suggested to any candidate or applicant for any position while he was governor or senator and said he had never received, directly or indi- rectly, cent for any appointment he had made, nor had he ever expected a cent from any one so appointed. He said that when the money that had been received by his daughter from Jacob Fisher for the rent of the back room was returned to Fisher and Fran cis that he fhe senator) paid the amount, his daughters account at the bank being overdrawn.
 Senator Dietrich denied having had a conversation with Fisher in which the subject of paying $14,OO0 for Thompson's expenses came up.

HEALTH OF MANILA
IT HAS BEEN IMPROVED UNDER
 AMERICAN RULE.
Unsanitary Conditions Have Been Changed for the Better Through out All the Islands-Death
 Rate Decreased.

American administration in Cuba led lo the cleaning up of her unhealthful, dirty towns and to the stamping out of the dreaded yellow fever epidemics. Re- cent word comes that like creditable work of reform Is in progress in the far Philippines, whereat both imperialist and anti-imperialist must find commeda- ble at least this one feature of Amer ican occupation.
 In the five years the Americans have been struggling with the Filipino ques- tion, the board of health for the Philip pine islands has brought about some re- duction of the excessive death rate, has bravely and effectively battled with cholera and bubonic plague. A heavy burden has rested upon this branch of insnlar service; both during the organ ization under military government and the one formed later under civil au- thority.
 Though in general the Filipinos are considered robust race. they are less able than the white man to withstand acute diseases. Large numbers die an- nually of fever. Insthe spring the disease .1S CcpStAdI1y uA6dSIIUuS.Ef A C0Ttalu 6u- thor, writing of life in Manila, speaks of May as month of fever and funerals" ]" At that season many deaths occur, also from acute indigestion, caused by the eating of too much new rice. The board of health labors zealously to instruct the people in both precautionary and and curative measures.
 Leprosy has been existent in the islands for long time-the emperor of Japan in 1633 sent a company of 150 lepers to the Philippines, consigning them tGMthe mercy of the priests whom he knew had cared in the past for such unfortunates-and the St. Lazarus hos pital was founded for the benefit of the afflicted with this curse It is said the Spaniards, though bestowing care upon the sufferers, paid almost no attention to checking the spread of leprosy; those in present having authority over the lazarettos are engaged in plan for the organization of a separate leper colony, 1t being considered necessary to take this step owing to an increase of

NAY HAVE TO OPPOSE THE CHINESE
0utposta Come Together on Chong- ehengano River-.Japs Reported Dispersed-ROosevs Procla-
 mation Please,s ,Russians.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 15.-Gen- eral Zilinski has reported as follows:
 Our patrol has discovered four of the enemy's posts on the Chongcheng- ano river and troop of cavalry act ing as scouts near Patetchen, north west of Anju. A Japanese cavalry pa- trol fell into an ambuscade prepared by our patrols and were dispersed, los ing one killed. The Japanese left be- hind them a quantity of gun cotton and some swords and blankets.
 .'The enemy's ships explored Helena bay and the shore opposite Senutchine with searchlights during the night.
 According to information which has been verified, the Japanese have not made any attack north of Gensan.
 '.The population along the Tumen river is favorable to us.'
 There Is no truth in the report that the Russians have abandoned Port Ar thur Admiral Abaza, secretary of the commission on far eastern affairs, of ficially denies the story.
 The best Russian information obtain able at Port Arthur and Newchwang admits that the governments inten- ton is to fall back until it can com plete the mobilization of 100000 troops for the purpose of assaulting and op- posing the Japanese and probably 20o,- 900 more to oppose the Chinese.
 A6vices from Yinkow say that the local Russian authorities are apparent ly incenssd and manifestly much an- noyed at the solicitous inquiries of the comnandars of foreign gunboats re garding the projected blocking of the Liao river before the arrival of the Japanese. which latter event is regard ed as foregone conclusion. i
