REVOLT OF. THE JUNIORS.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute Gives
It's Side of the Matter.

Blacksburg, Va, Dec. 16.-The fac
ulty of the Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute tonight made public "a statement
regarding the recent withdrawal OF the
junior class from the institute. Ac-
cording to the statement, member
of the Junior class was dismissed for
taking part in the hanging in effigy of
the commandant OF cadets. Thereupon
the junior class passed resolutions that
II the dismissed member were not re-
lnstated unconditionally the class as a
whole would resign.
committee from the class waited
on President McBryde, but did not
present the ultimatum. DR. McBrydc
pointed out the seriousness of the stu
dents offense, and, the statement says,
was led TO believe that the class would
bring before him the real leaders OF
the affair. He told the committee that
II this We're done IL would probably
mitigate the action taken in the Coul-
ter case.
Later DR.. McBryde heard OF the
class action In threatening to resign.
He then summoned the class president
and told him that IL the class action
were not rescinded the matter would
be closed. and the direct issue raised
between students and faculty as to
which should control the institute.
The statement says the class met.
refused to recsind its action and signed
another paper resigning from the insti-
tute. After some delay the faculty
dismissed every student whose name
remained on the paper "for taking
part In an act OF insubordination and
rebellion which threatened the destruc-
ton OF all discipline and obedience to
constituted authority"
In conclusion, the faculty statement
says seven members OF the class with
drew their names from the paper and
seven other declared they were forced
by the pressure of class spirit to sign.
I'VE have every reason TO believe" the
statement adds. that others were Sim
liarly coerced."
Six members took no part in the ac-
ton OF their class.

SOME OF THE TROUBLES
A MILLIONAIRE SUFFERS.
1t Is Said BuncOmbe County People
are Down ON Vanderbilt.


Raleigh, N. c., Dec. 16.-A special
from Asheville, N. c., says:
Within the next few days applica-
tion will be made before Judge Pritch-
ard by attorneys for the plaintiffs in
four suits against George Vanderbilt
to have these cases remanded to the
state courts. The suits were instituted
in the Superior Court of Buncombe
county, but were ordered removed to
the United States District Court upon
affidavits that Mr.. Vanderbilt could
not secure justice in Buncombe coun-
ty. The damages asked in the four
suits aggregate $4,000.
The more striking of the two affi-
davits is by Rev. DR.. r. r. Swope of
All Souls Church of Biltmore, who
AYERS that MIR. Vanderbilt cannot get
justice in Buncombe county because,
owing to his wealth, there is feeling
that persons injured or alleged to have
been injured on his estate or in his
employ should receive large damages.
He adds that articles published in the
newspapers of Buncombe county and
elsewhere have been highly prejudicial
TO the Biltmore- estate.
The second affidavit is by ]. Hardy
Lee, bookkeeper in the Biltmore office.
Mr.. Lee asserts that the Buncombe
people are prejudiced against Mr.. Van
derbilt because. owing to his extensive
interests in dairy, truck and poultry
farming, he is the most formidable
competitor they have.
1t is expected that the application
TO Federal Judge Pritchard will be
accompanied by number of affidavits
IN rebuttal of these averments.

MAY END THE STRIKE.
New Efforts are Now AfOot at Fail
River.


River.
Fall River, Mass, Dec. 16.-Renewed
hope of a settlement of the prolonged
cotton mill strike in this city was Civ
en- tonight by the announcement that
another conference had been arranged
between representatives of the strikers
and the mill owners.
This conference will take place to-
morrow morning and it is understood
that every effort will be made to put
an end to the strike which has thrown
nearly 26,000 operatives out of employ
ment and been attended with much
suffering.
President Golden of the United Tex
tile Council, and Secretary Albert Hib-
bert returned tonight from New York,
where they met President Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor. The
conditions in the local mills were ex-
planned to Mr.. Gompers.
Soon after President Golden and Sec
retary HILBERT returned to this city a
meeting of the textile council was call
ed and at its conclusion the decision
of the strikers to meet the mill owners
again was announced. The conference
was arranged by persons not directly
interested in the strike.
Earlier to-day the labor leaders an
nounced that they had decided to sub
NIT the question of a continuance of
the strike to a vote of the members
of the various organizations involved,
and this will be done, whatever the
outcome Of to-morrow's meeting.
The strike began twenty-five weeks
ago when the operatives refused to ac-
cept a new wage schedule which re-
duced the price list paid 12k per cent.
1t was believed tonight that the end
of the strike is in sight.

PHILIPPINE BILL
PASSED SENATE
BY A VOTE OF a. TO 23.
NOTABLE CHANGE WAS REDUCTION
IN INTEREST ON BONDS.

When the Philippine Government
Guarantees Interest of Railroad
Bonds the Rate Shall Be Per
Before Being Amended-Other Pro-
visions of the BilI-CarmacIx on
Presidents Attitude.
Washington, Dec. 16.-The Senate to-
day carried out it's unanimous agree
ment to vote on the Philippine civil
government bill and by a vote of A to
% passed the measure.
The final vote was preceded by the
presentation of many amendments and
a general discussion of them, as we'll
as of the provisions of the bill There
were occasional political references,
but, in the main, the discussion was
confined to the merits of the measure
On some of the amendments suggested
by Democratic senators, several West
ern Republicans cast their votes in
the affirmative, but Mr.. McCumber was
the only Republican who voted with
the Democrats against the final passage
of the bill.
The most notable change made dur
ing the day was the lowering of the
rate of interest on railroad bonds to be
guaranteed by the Philippine govern
ment from 5 to 4 per cent.
The BiII's Provisions.
The bill as passed exempts from taxa
tion all bonds issued by the Philippine
and Porto Rican governments; au-
thorizes municipalities in the Philip
pines to incur a bonded indebtedness
amounting to per cent. of the as
sessed valuation of their property at
5 per cent. interest; authorizes the
Philippine government to incur a bond
ed Indebtedness of $4,000, 900 for inn
provements at Az per cent interest
authorized the Philippine government
to guarantee the payment eof interest
on railroad bonds at the rate of 4 per
cent. per annum; provides for the ad-
ministration of the immigration laws
by the Philippine authorities: estab-
fishes a system for the location and
patenting of mineral, coal and saline
lands; fixes the metric system for the
islands and gives the eiYil governor
title of governor general.
During the debate on the Philippine
bill the provision eXempting bonds
from taxation met with opposition from
Mr.. German, who contended the exemp-
ton was wrong in principle.
Make 1t Harder to Get Out.
Mr.. Carnack said he was opposed to
the railroad bond provision because 1t
would make it more difficult for the
United States to get out of the Philip
pines. He quoted the Presidents hope
that our Cuban policy might at some
time be adopted in the Philippines.
This he characterized as a renuncfa-
ton of the Republican policy and in
line with the Democratic platform.
I'VE welcome the President to the
ranks of the anti-imperialists," he said,
he is almost if not quite eligible to
membership in the Boston anti-im-
perialist league"
The Senate adjourned until Mon
day.
