NO STEAMER SECURED.
Trouble Over Communication With
Mount Vernon.

1t looks now as if communication between
this city and Mount Vernon after Wednes-
day next will be confined entirely to the
electric railway, as on that day the steamer
Charles Manchester makes her last trips to
the home of Washington and as far as can
be ascertained the Mount Vernon regents
have not yet secured a steamer to take
her place on the route. The story of the
rupture In the relations between the Mount
Vernon and Marshall Hall Steamboat Com
pany and the Mount Vernon Regents AS
ISOLATION was told In The Star few days
ago. At that time 1t stated in the Office
of the steamboat company here that the
Manchester would withdraw from the route
June l and every preparation to close the
service has been made, even the words
Mount Vernon in the big sign on the
pier, foot of It'll street, has been painted
out. The steamer Charles Manchester was
built In 1880 for the Mount Vernon service
and has run continuously on that route for
the past fifteen years She will now be de-
voted entirely to the excursion business on
the Marshall Hall route.
The local steamboat managers here state
that they have no boats available for serv-
ice on the Mount Vernon route and as far
as can be learned no boat has been ofered
to the regents for the service. All the To-
cal steamboats, are now busy. and as the
excursion season is al nd those that are
usually idle during tier months are
now in service and kept busy untl!
the middle of next -fhber
II was rumored alori., the river front this
morning that a steamer would be brought
here from abroad for the Mount Vernon
service but the rumor could not be traced
to an authentic source and no efforts have
been made to secure wharfage room here
for such service AS stated 1t now looks
as If all travel between Washington and
Mount Vernon would have to go by rail
after June /. In 1902 the visitors from this
city to Mount Vernon numbered 49, in
1903, SO, 500, and in 1904. while the St LOUIS
EXPOSITION was going on, to SO,367 So far
this year the travel has been heavy and
bids fair to pass the figures Of 1908.

FOR GREATER UNIVERSITY.
Council Of Committee Of Four Hundred
Approves Senator Frye's Measure.

The executive council of the national
committee of four hundred to promote the
establishment of the University of the
United States, after due consideration of
the efforts made by it's members to unite
the several university organizations at
Washington in one great university of the
highest rank, and their failure through the
prevailing influence of local and denomina-
tional forces, has reached the following
conclusions:
1. That no university organization yet
chartered can meet the demands of the
country for such university at the ma
tional ca pital-a university that shall be
neither private nor denominatlonai, out
public, and fitting elimination OF the
now incomplete system OF American ecu
cation; that shall be free from partisanship
in every form; that shall be graduate IN all
departments; that shall sustain help1ui re-
lations to all other educational institutions
in America; that shall be so natonal IN
name and spirit and so characterized by
national purposes and uses, as wen as py
national representation in the governing
board, and by attendance from all the
states and from every part OF the loreish
world as If possible to more than reaiize
the exalted aims of President Washington
and the multitude of his supporters IN All
these high regards; a university that sfaii
be to both people and government new
source of inspira ton, elevation and prog
ress, and shall make of Washington a cAiei
center of learning for the world
Q That, in view of all these facts, IL is
more than ever the duty of the National
University committee and of the Natlonai
Educational Association, which organlZa-
tons have been of one mind on this SUD
iect for many years, it is of all VINO
appreciate the higher learning and are am
bilious of Americas supremacy In Things
which are highest, to devote themselves
with new energy to the early estapish-
ment of the University of the United States,
on the basis of the bill introduced by Sen
ator Frye at the last session of Congress
bill that fulfils all the conditions a1ore-
said and vet makes no demand upon the
public treasury, the reliance being on great
and sufficient endowments from patriouc
citizens and organizations.
