Affairs at the ". P. ].

The situation ut the yirginia Polytech-'
nc Institute has greatly improved, and
college work, which was almost sus-
pended by the late rupture between stu
dents and faculty, has been resumed.
Many OF tho juniors will doubtless return,
and the seniors have lnnde their peace
with tho faculty. But 1t Is not 70 be.
overlooked thatathore was y fragrant and
deplorahle breach OF discipline Whicl. has
distressed and discouraged the members
OF the. faculty and seriously impaired the
esprit dc corps or the institutions. The
juniors withdrew under the erroneous i'm
preston that they would be required to
stultify themselves, but In making this
excuse for them one must not lose sight
of the gr;lvamenh OF their original act Of
,nsu bordinatfon and revolt. On Saturday
morning, Immediately after breakfast,
and before any attempt was made to
ascertain tho facts, they met and adopted
Il resolution, commanding the faculty
that they change their action in Coulter's
case by $50 p, NJ Monday and uncondl-
Etionally relnstate him, or they would with
in a body. 1T matters not that the
"ultimstum" was not then served uron
tho f;rculty; the act of adopting such a
resolution WAS none the less an act OF
INSTRUMENTATION and defiance because 1t
was secret act. Moreover, it did not
long remain a secret, for 1t was soon
noised abroad, ana became an open secret
and q matter Of common gossip
The action OF the seniors was scarcely
less reprehensible. They ARE older, and
they should have tried to crush tho in
subordinate spirit Of the juniors. Instead,
! they issued a circular approving tho uc-
| ton Of tho younger students, and it Is
common rumor at Blacksburg that, they

WOULD PUNISH 'DBsERTERs,
Lieut. Gen. ChafTee Urges That States
Disfranchiae soldiers Until They
Furnish Honorable Discharges.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Lieut Gen.
Chaffee, chief of star of the United
States army, in his annual report says
in his opinion little new general legis-
lation Is needed at this time. He suS-
gests the enactment Of state laws dis
franch Using deserters from the army,
adding: IF all states and territories
should by law withhold from DESERT
ers exercise of the right to vote at
national, state and municipal elections,
unless the act Of desertion be atoned
for by lawful discharge, subsequently
earned by service, 1t seems probable
that the most healthful remedy prac-
ticable would be applied to the evil
and that the result would be surpris-
ingly great. The majority of deserters
would return to the colofs at their
own expense and serve out their unex-
pired enlistment contracts in order to
receive lawful discharge, which
would re-establish their vivil status"
The general says that inquiry OF
men in guardhouses on his tour Oh IN
spection ELECTED no special reason for
desertion, the general reply being that
army life was not what had been an
tieipated. Gen. Chaffee believes the
adoption of his suggestion (disfran-
chisement) would relieve military pris-
ons of two-thirds Of their occupants.
A number of extracts from the re-
ports Of general officers favoring the
restoration of the canteen are given.
zen. Chaffee says that the number Of
men and officers in the artillery corps
is insufficient and the plan Of organiza-
ton is not of the best. The pay al
lowed is said to be inadequate to OBJ
tain the men desired for the artillery
army.

STOLEN MONEY ALL SPENT.


Chicago, Nov. 23.-Arnold Beuthien,
until two months ago cashier and one
of the largest stockholders in savings
banks at New Liberty and Dixon, Ia,
was arrested here yesterday charged
with embezzlement of 100000 of the
banks funds. Beuthien is said to have
invested heavily in a Chicago amuse-
ment company and other ventures. His
Investments proved improbable and
his own money and the money Of the
banks was lost. The banks were closed
and the cashier fled from Iowa, coming
to Chicago. When arrested Beuthien
had but $1.65 in his possession.
