REGENTS SUSTAIN M'LEAN.
Pass Resolution UNFOLDING Presi.
dent Of University.

Iowa City, June 1.-THE board OF
regents of the State university last
evening adopted resolutions scoring
the faculty and upholding President
MacLean, and then capped the eli.
max by asking for the, resignation OF
Professors A. v. Sims and l.. w. An,
drews. 1t is believed that still more
heads may fall at a future session
Of the board.
The reasons for their action are
set forth in a resolution IN which the
regents state that Sims and Andrews
were leaders in conspiracy against
MacLean.
Mr.. Sims stated last evening that
no charges had been preferred against
him and that he had no intimation OF
any sort Of what was going to happen
and that he was given no chance for
a defense.
The resolution of the board was as
follows:
Whereas, We have made an ex-
tended investigation into the present
conditions OF the university at which
we had before us a large number OF
the professors and alumni and to
which all persons having complaint
were invited to appear
Resolved, That as a result Of our
said investigation we find that there
is no sufficient cause for any change
in the presidency of the univeIs ity.
Whereas, During the present inves-
tigation this board has been informed
tors have from time to time during
the past year improperly and unwar-
rantably criticized the president and
attempted to undermine his influence
as the administrative head OF the in
sLllution which has caused most OF the
disSensions and divisions that appar-
emily exist in the faculty; therefore
be it
Resolved, That we condemn such
conduct on their part, believing that
each professor and instructor, while
connected with the university, should
IoValiy support the institution and as
sist in its upbuilding in all its depart
ments and in sustaining it's officials;
that complaints, if any, as to the ad-
ministratiOn or other acts of its Of
ficials should be made to the board
and not on the streets or elsewhere;
that If any professor or instructor is
so dissatisfied With the administration
as to make such criticisms otherwise
than to the board he should sever his
relations with the university"

RUSSIANS ARE ElATED.
Port Arthur and Vladivostok Fleets
Reported in Fighting Trim.

Port Arthur and vladivostok Fleets.
Reported in Fighting Trim.
st. Petersburg, June 20-The au--
thorities are decidedly elated over the
simultaneous receipt of dispatches,
from Rear Admiral Without, who COM
mands the Russian feet at Port Arth-
ur and from Vladivostok, indicating
that the fleets at both places are in
fighting trim. Somewhat naturally,
the authorities decline to disclose the
means Of transmission OF Admiral Wi
thofs dispatch, but the fact that the
message brought the admiral's report
up to June IA, indicates that it hardly
came by a runner through the Japan
csc lines.
The condition Of the squadron makes
IT apparent that the vessels are ready
to go to sea, and il they meet the
Japanese fleet the result will probably
be a battle of ironclads that will take
a place in history overshadowing the
meeting of the Chinese and Japanese
fleets on the Yalu.
A reference in the Port Arthur dis
patch to Rear Admiral Prince Ouk-
tomsky incidentally disposes OF the
report previously denied by the Asso-
ciated Press that the prince had been
deposed and executed for disloyatty.
The Vladivostok messages show that
the commandant there is looking for.
ward to serious operations. probably
in the way Of reprisals for the de-
struction wrought by the Russian
cruiser squadron. There is no indi.
cation, however, so far as can be
learned, that the japanese squadron
has appeared in the neighbornood.

WAS A DARING VENTURE.
Raid of Russian NIadivostok Fleet Fa.
vored by Blind Luck.

Toxic, June 20.-The remarkable
raid of the Russian Vladivostok
squadron evidently is over. The
squadron disappeared yesterday off
Cape Hanshi, steering to the north,
and it has not been reported since.
1t is assumed to be returning to Vladi-
vostok.
Whether a portion of Admiral Kan.
imura's squadron is awaiting is care
fully guarded secret. Assuming that
VICE Admiral Kamimura dispatched
some of his vessels to Vladivostok
when he learned that the Russian
squadron was off Oki island ths ships
would have ample time to arrive
ahead of the Russians and would be
ready to give battle. The weather
has been foggy and thus conditions
have been against the Japanese.
The transports Sado, Hitachi and
Izumi were the only ones overhaulsd
by the Russians. japan had thirteen
transports in and near the Straits OF
Korea the morning the Sado and Hi
tachi were caught.
