MRS. HEARST'S KINDER
GARTEN BOUNTY,
$4,000 a Year Withdrawn by Donor
from Washington College.


By r. NJ. Larner.
Washington, May 26.-Educational
circles here are greatly exercised over
the sudden and unlocked for announce
ment that Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst has
withdrawn her bounty from the Kin
dergarten College, in this city, which
bears her name, and all other local
charities in which she was such
liberal contributor. The reason given
is that her Income is not sufficient
to Justify a continuance of her dona-
tons"
For the last eight years, the Phoebe
Hearst kindergarten College has been
maintained in this city by the in
dividuality of Mrs. Hearst. The amount
was $4,000 a year. This sum has been
sufficient to sustain modern Kinder
garten institution, in the fashionable
section of the city. In addition to
classes of instruction for young child
rem, training school for teachers has
been one of the features of this estab-
lishment Young women, anxious to
become teachers in kindergarten
schools, have come here from all parts
of the country to take the admirable
course of instruction at the Phoebe
the teachers in the public school kim
dergarten grades are graduates from
the Hearst College.
The withdrawal of Mrs. Hearst's H.
nancial support from this institution,
and all other local charities, on the
ground that her income was not suf-
ficient to enable her to continue her
noble work, a work in which she had
previously shown so much interest, was
a severe shock to her friends in Wash
ington, and a stunning blow to the
kindergarten system as taught at the
Hearst College. A committee was i'm
medtately appointed to hasten to New
York and confer with Mrs. Hearst on
the s0Nject, prior to her departure for
Europe She received the committee
graciously, but tearfully, and informed
her callers that her decision was final.
No further explanation is offered by
the confidential friends and represen-
tatives of the Hearst estate. Mrs.
Hearst has gone to Europe and the
incident appears to be closed so far as
she is concerned. One of the mysterious
features of Mrs. Hearst's unexpected

EMPEROR RECEIVED

ST. Petersburg, May 26.-The begin

in Anglo Russian relations is believed
to have been inaugurated by the cordial
manner in which the Emperor this aft

ceived Sir Charles Hardinge, the new
British ambassador to Russia, who
handed personal letter from King
Edward to His Imperial nephew, also
conveying the British Kings personal
good wishes and sincere desire that the
relations between the two countries
shall become more and more friendly.
While what passed naturally is a Sc
cret, Sir Charles afterwards expressed
the greatest satisfaction at the spirit of
his reception.

ASSEMBLY AT BUFFALO
WAS GREATLY EXCITED.
Majority, 1t Is Believed, Is Favora-
Bile to Union.

Dbt
Buffalo, N. Y, May 26.-To-day's
session of the Presbyterian assembly
closed amid great excitement and with
the question of union with the Cum
berland branch still unsettled. When
the moderator declared the session ad-
journed, a dozen men were clamorlng
for recognition, and confusion relgneo
in all parts of the house.
A resolution offered by Rev. John
F. Carson of Brooklyn, fixing the time
for taking the vote on the question,
precipitated the crisis. When SEM
blance of order was restored the reso-
luton was finally passed. 1t fixes
the time for a vote at 1880 tomorrow
and limits the remaining addresses TO
ten minutes each.
The drift of debate to-day favored
union. 1t was the feeling tonight
that the proposal for union will be
carried by a large majority, but that
the proposition for separate presby-
teries might be referred back to the
committee. The colored delegates are
against this section to man.
