Graft in Warsaw.

Warsaw, June 20. Facts which have
Just come to light here we'll illustrated
how graft" prevails in this country.
Three months ago, a Warsaw merchant
applied to officials of the Trans-Siberian
railway for freight cars in which to ship
goods to Hardin, Manchuria, to be sold
to the soldiers. He was told that it
would be impossible for him to obtain
cars, as they were all needed for mill
tary purposes. After distributing rOubes
in brides, three cars of the red cross
we're placed at the disposal of the mer-
chant, and the goods were placed on
board. The goods were shipped from
Warsaw, but they never reached Har-
bin. After waiting ten weeks, at Har-
bin, for his goods, the merchant started
an investigation to discover what had
become of them. He found that officials
of the Red Cross had seized the cars and
sold The goods at Nijni-Novgorod, Rus
sia, and had pocketed the proceeds.
The merchant now finds himself in a
position where he is helpless to recover
the money he expended. He cannot
sue the railway, for in doing so, he
would have to admit that he was guilty
Of giving brides. Neither can the rail
way authorizes call the Red Cross Off
cials to account, for fear of cOnvicting
themselves of bribe-taking. In this case,
the Red Cross will escape with the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the merchandise

Engineering Department at the Uni
yersity.

Mr.. F. O. Richey has the following
communication in College Topics, pub
lished at the University of Virginia.
Prof. w. NJ. Thornton, dean of the
engineering faculty, has announced
that next year there will be added to his
faculty a professor in civil and prOfes-
sor in mechanical engineering. Last
wear new instructor was added while
the wear before that, when the endOw-
ment providing for the establishment OF
an electrical labratory and its mainten-
ance was secured, a professor in electri-
cal engineering was added to the faculty
The increase has been necessary to keep
ahead of the increase in the number OF
students in that department. Last year
showed an increase of 80 per cent. over
the year before and this year there are
80 per cent. more than we're enrolled
last year. At this rate of increase the
department which is the youngest in the
university will soon be the largest and at
no distant date Virginia will rank with
the large technical universities in the
country. 1t is remarkable that
while there are many men going
from the South to the technical
school of the North, we have men from
those states who are coming to Virginia
to study engineering. The excellent
reputation the University has for the
thorough training in the other depart
ments of her work has brought these
men here. The teachings Of the math-
ematical and mechanical principles of the
work of engineering is as thorough and
effective as those teaching in her other
departments Tor which she has long been
famous.
Those who have made a study Of the
requirements of an engineer alone under
stand that this is the main issue in his
education and that they are indispensa-
BILE TO a good engineer 1t is far easier
to secure a knowledge of practical work
in the field than to secure the theory Of
engineering without the assistance Of the
instructor. The education of the student
in this department at Virginia does not
end with this thorough drilling in theory.
Already a very efficient system of shops
and laboratories have been installed and
the student is required to master the
use Of the machines and instruments
with which he expects to work after
graduation. The electrical laboratory
established in 1904 is equipped with
types of electrical machinery and electri
cal apparatus both from American and
European manufactures. 1t already Oc-
cupies the whole north wing of the me-
chanical laboratory and is being in
creased from year to year out of the fund
provided for that purpose by Mrs. Scott,
of Richmond. Prof. Thornton announced
plans which include many Improvements
in the lecture rooms, shops and drawing
room to be made during the coming
vacation in order to keep in advance of
the increase in the enrolment in his de-
partment.
Not many men in college realize that
at the normal rate of increase next year
the engineering department will out
number the medical schools and will be
almost abreast of the law department.
In fac. the endowment fund should
bring more than the normal increase
here so that next year we will in all
be ahead of both.

ference of the powers upon the internal
affairs of that country. The invitation
is tn result of the insistance Of the Ger
man Emperor that the status of Morocco
be determined by meeting of the rep
resentatiyes of all the governments IN
terested. While no action by this
government has yet been determined
upon. it is practically certain that unless
the invitation is unanimously accepted
by those governments to whom II has
been addressed the United States will de-
cline to participate. The invitation OF
the Moroccan government, while osten'
sibly at the invitation of that govern
ment, is really inspired by the German
Emperor, and for all practical purposes
is his invitation. Until the issues to be
discussed are communicated to this
government, in addition to an under
standing of the unanimity of sentiment
among the powers on the subject, no an
swer will be given by the State Depart
ment.
President Roosevelt will make public,
on Thursday, all the correspondence re-
aling to the Harmln-Judson inyesti-
CATION of the Sante Fe rebate case. The
documents will tell how the investi-
CATION was begun at the instance OF the
Department Of Justice, and how it pro-
gressed until difference OF opinion arose
between the investigating counsel and
Attorney. General Moody which rendered
further progress out OF the question.
President Roosevelt himself will add an
interesting chapter to the story OF the
investigation. The correspondence COW
ers about 80 typewriter pages.
The reports that Chief Engineer Wal
lace, who is now on his way from Pana-
ma to this country, contemplates resign
ing his position cannot be confirmed
here. Secretary Taft said this morning
that he himself did not know the precise
reason for Mr.. Wallace's return. Mr..
Wallace cabled the Secretary a few days
ago, saying that he desired to return to
the United States on important personal
business which he would explain when
he arrived here. He also said that he
desired to consult with the Secretary be-
fore The latter left for the Philippines.
Permission to return was at once accord
ed Mr.. Wallace and he is now on his
way. 1t is possible that some friction
may have arisen over the question Of
the appointment of assistants to Mr..
Wallace.

Spain to Erect Defences.

Madrid, June 20.-The Spanish cabi-
net has decided to begin at once to erect
strong defences on the Baearic and
Canary Island and also along the Cali
Glen coast. General Polavicja, chief of
staff, accompanied by several staff gene
rails has left for the Balearic Islands to
commence the preliminary survey for the
Notifications. From there they will go
to the Canary Islands and later survey

FRANCIS G. HENEY, the government
attorney, has made serious charges against
the California land officials, saying that
conditions are worse there than in Ore
gon. He says the officials have been in
league with spectators, so that two
thirds of the States timber lands have
been virtually stolen. 1t seems to be
the impression of many officials that a
government position is a private snap,
and that they are at liberty to make all
out of it they can, risking the slim
chance of being brought to justice.

that G. P. Shea, President of the Teams

The French Council of ministers.

Paris. June 20.-A meeting of the
council of ministers was held this morn
ing. The note which usually is given
out after such meetings was not issued
today, and the only information given
out in regard to the conference was that
internal matters were discussed. 1t has
been expected that sOme important an
nOuncement concerning the negotiations
which have been in progress with (fer-
many over the Moroccan question would
be made, and a great deal of surprise
was caused by the statement which was
made in regard 10 the meeting.
Paris, June 20.-The negotiations be
tween Premier Rouvier and Prince RADIO
lin which promise to lead TO the settle
ment of all difficulties over Morocco,
through the usual channels of diplomacy,
are proceeding normally, according to
reports this morning. Some time is sure
to be required, however, to work out all
details of the plans. There are still i'm
portant differences to be adjusted but
none so grave as those which have been
removed by the reported agreement of
Premier ROuyier to consent to confer
ence on the Moroccan. question provided
the protocol conforms to French interests.
The failure OF the Cabinet TO make any
announcement in regard to the status OF
the negotiations in the Moroccan question
leads to the questioning of Premier Rou-
vier in the chamber of deputies on the sub
iect. Deputy Archdeacon brought up the
matter by asking the Premier to tell the
Chamber what is being done in the mat
ter. NJ Rouvier in replying said he reserv-
ed the right to be silent until he thought
the time was ripe for making such dis
closures to the Chamber. For the pres
ent he would only say that the negOtia-
tons are being kept up.

Radium a Source of Lite.

Loudon, June 20.-According to the
Daily Chronicle, experiments conducted
for six years in the Cavendish Labora-
tory at Cambridge University by J.
Butler Burke, a young professor, who,
for a long time, worked with Pro-
fessor Thomson, have almost certainly
demonstrated the possibility of spOnta-
neous generation. By means of radium
and sterilized bouillon, placed together
in test tube, Professor Burke obtained
cultures presenting many appearances of
vitality, such as growth and subdivision.
