Andrews May Be Dismissed from
Nebraska for Friendliness
to Rockefeller.
Opponents of the Request Are
About to Ask for His Res
ignation.
Sharp Contrast Between His Posi-
ton Now and When He Was
at Brown.

Special to The journal.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 2.-For the sec
ond time in the career Of Chancellor
Andrews of the University Of Nebras-
ka he is threatened with dismissal on
account Of corporations. At Brown
university it was his antipathy to cor
pOrations; now it is his friendliness to
Rockefeller.
The crusade against the Rockefeller
contribution for a building at the state
university has now reached a stage
where the opponents Of the bequest
will ask for the resignation Of Chan
celIor Andrews and the members OF
the board of regents who favor the
contribution.
The Omaha World-Herald has
taken the initiative and the matter
will be brought before the state con
ventions Of both parties If the enc.
mics of Rockefeller carry out their
plans.
The populists have already ex.
pressed their disapprOval of the two
regents, Won Forell and REMOVER
whose terms have just expired, by re-
fusing to renominate them. It is pro
posed to give the regents instructions

proposition to amend the law so as
to permit reasonable restraint of trade
and commerce between the several
states is not a new one and should not
be taken as inspired at the White
House.
When Senator CulIom of Illinois
was chairman Of the Interstate COM
merce commission he introduced a
bill which contained a section sub
stantialIy the same in effect as the
Foraker bill. AS the law reads to-day
and, as the supreme court of the
combinations in restraint Of trade and

aker takes the view entertained by
other prominent men in congress that
it was not the purpose Of the trainers
Of the antitrust law to restrain all
combinations, but only those unreal
sonable or injurious to the public well
fare. Whatever the object of the
trainers Of the law, the supreme court
has construed it literally, and this
construction must stand until the law
is amended.

EUROPEAN INTERVENTION
Diplomatic Pressure to Prevent Out
break of War.


Paris, Feb. I'm the best-informed
political circles here the opinion is
expressed that a peaceful solution of
the Russo-J2panese affair is assured.
A diplomatic arrangement has been
reached between the French minister
Of foreign affairs and the British am
bassador here, by virtue of which it
is agreed that both the French and
British governments will bring strong
pressure to bear upon Japan to induce
her to accept the terms Of the Rus
sian note.
The language in which this note is
couched has been submitted to both
the French and British foreign Of
fees, and is recognized to be most con-
ciliatory in effect.
Should Japan not yield to the
French and British representatives
other European powers will add the
weight Of their persuasions to that
end. If Japan remains recalcitrant
all the responsibilities Of War will rest
upon Japan and Europe will wash its
hands Of the business.
| The recent entente cordiale between
France and Great Britain has chiefly
helped in permitting this understand
ing between the French and British
diplomats as to the Russo-Japanese
question to be brought about.

Special to The Journal.
New York, Feb. 1.-THE people of
Nebraska are much ag1tated just now
over controversy sprlng1ng from
new phase of the trust problem which
involves the old question whether the
character Of money is affected by the
manner Of it's making. President f.
Benjamin Andrews Of the Nebraska
state university at Lincoln is endeaVor-
ing to secure liberal endowment 1or
that institution from John D. Rookie
Teller and his effort has stirred up
vigorous opposition on the part OF
many who believe that the Rockefel-
Ter influence should be kept out of the
state university. which, as an institu-
ton of the people, should be support
ed by them. President Andrews is
{ accused of attempting to bulld a

i plan.
Recognizing Ida M. Tarbell, whose

story of Rockefeller in Mcclure
Magazine has been startling revela-
ton Of the manner in which the

authority on the subject. the opposi-
ton telegraphed her for an opinion as

ported as flour, the bran and other by
products may be Withdrawn for do

Mr.. Stevens believes this country
must first have a way to increase trade
with Canada by trade concessions, the
dominion also to make concessions.
He believes that American farmers
that no competition will result under
tbs provision that will work them in
jury. On theother hand, this BILL, if
enacted, may lead to free lumber,
which would be of inestimable benefit
to farming communities.
Discussing the bill, Representative
Stevenson said to-day:

Canada, but we must make concessions
ourselves if we would secure them in re-

Manchuria Must Be Restored.

Toxic, Feb. 2.-All reports suggests
ing that Japan will accept technical
victory in Manchuria while suffering
a practical defeat should be regarded
with suspicion. The government is
determined that Russia's restoration
Of Manchuria to China shall be good
in law and fact. The first principle
of Japan's policy in the matter is to
prevent Russia from having an ex-
cuse for effecting a military occupa-
ton of Chinese territory that would be
perilous primarily to Korea and seo-
ondarily to Japan itself.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Feb. I'm spite Of the
rumors that Russia will concede prac-
tically everything upon which Japan
insists with regard to Manchuria and
Korea, the feeling Of uneasiness that
has prevailed recently in official CIR
cles is again becoming manifest.
Russia's delay in presenting her rea-
Spouse to the last Japanese note is re-
sponsible for this renewed apprehen-
sion. Not that it is believed that Rus
STA is merely seeking to gain time. On
the contrary, there is every reason for
the understanding that the note will
be delivered some day this week.
War Still Feared.
What is causing the uneasiness is
the fear that the sentiment for peace,
which Is foremost in St. Petersburg,
may not continue. The note to Japan
has been, or is being drafted, but from
what is said here, it has not been final
ly approved by the car and his minis
tiers, and until that is done, granting
that it's understood conciliatory char
acter has not been changed in the
meantime, the danger Of war will exist.
That is the situation, according to the
best informed persons in Washington.
Strangely enough, while something
about the provisions which the Rus
sian government expects to embody
in the note, has come to European
capital, not one bit Of information
as to what it will contain has been
received in Washington from any
source claiming to have positive
| knowledge.
Real Cttsis Is On Now.
1t was said to-day by an officer, who
| is ina, position to speak authorita-
| lively, that it is impossible to forecast
| the contents of the note at this time.
Whether he meant that the Russian
! government had taken means to pre-
vent any details of it's position becom-
ing public or that the terms of its re-
Spouse to Japan glat be e changed, was
! not explained. .s ~ s,
/ 81 Japan's position is thorofy IlIers
stood here and the certainty that she
will not be satisfied with anything
short of the preservation of Chinese
integrity and the recognition Of hel
own special interests in Korea is an.
other reason for uneasiness. That she
will be willing to recognize that Rus
STA has special interests in Manchuris
is taken for granted but beyond thai
Japan will not make any concessions
| The real crisis is on now, and it il
felt that the presentation Of the Rus
y sian note this week will be followed
almost immediately by a declaration
from Japan that will mean peace OF
