The Privileged College Men.


The college student knows that he is
privileged character. boasts of 1t arro-
eantly insists upon it vehemently, and in
dignantly resents any attempt to restrain
his high jinks as an infringement of sacred
rights. No French nobleman of the Bou.-
bcns, no German robber baron, was ever
more amazed and scornful at the jaquerie
and carls asking their rights, than col
lege student at a citizen trying to restrain
him in breach Of the peace. Why this
attitude of the publicF why this curious
state of mind on the part OF the students?
But there is a reason, reason 800 years
old Wen have our universities been charged
with medievalism. Ne must - back to
the twelfth century for the reason; to the
universities of Bologna and Paris, to Mont

These ancient universities we're chartered
communities, like municipalities. By royal

be touched by the municipal authorities.
This was necessary. aThere was great in

Count Cassini published a statement to-
day denounc1ng certain paragraphs which
appeared in my dispatch Of this morning as
IAN outrageous SANDER" and DENYING that
the ambassador himself had labored under
excitement on receiving official dispatches
from his government. and repelling the very
thought that any member of the embassy
staff had talked as frankly and lugubrious-
ly of the situation and outlook in, Russia
as the unnamed Russian quoted by me this
morning.
When a diplomatist is guilty of an in
discretion he is entitled to protect himself
with denial. and such disavowals are
usually received as matter of course. But
in this instance Count Cassini uses harsh
words, and, apparently, without actually
saying so, endeavors to leave the impress
sion that no such conversation took place,
and that your correspondent has been
guilty of downright taking.
l have no taste for controversy, but this
aspersion cannot be permitted to pass I'M
noticed. Count Cassini must by this time
know the facts He must know that a
member of the embassy staff, and a very
important member at. that, did say the
grand dukes should be taken out and hang
ed, did say the palace party had committed
Il ldtaI olunuer III hetpinS the car In 1g-
horance and in firing on the people; did
say he feared the trouble would spread all
over the empire and make it necessary to
withdraw troops from the front; did say
he apprehended activity on the part of the
revolutionary organizations. with use of
bombs and assassination; did say Russian
credit was in danger of being ruined by
French alarm did express fear that as an
outcome, near or remote, of Sundays
butchery his government would be over
thrown because the car had lost the faith
and reverence of the masses.
Count Cass;ni knows, too why the name
of the man who uttered these words Is not
printed; it is a matter of professional
ethics If Count Cassni will in writing au-
thorize your correspondent to publish the
rame of the member of the Russian ambas-
sy who talked as represented the name will
be published in these dispatches.

Alleged Embarrassment.

"But it is claimed that embarrassment en-
sues to the assistant corporation counsel by
the inadequacy of the fines imposed, as
well as of collaterals exacted, and the Ian
guage used in your letter suggests that
higher penalties have not been imposed
against habitual offenders. But even more
fragrant and ineXcusable is a subsequent
statement as TO the practice of the court
of imposing the minimum fine in the cases
of frequent offenders, especially in the case
of the Potomac Electric Power Company.
THE language referred to is in the fol-
lowing words

brought to the attention of the Commits

''The statement so made embraced among
other things the following: That said de-
PENDANT had expended more than $4,000
in efforts TO reduce the condition of smoke
so as to comply with the law: that they
had meantime paid all fines and collaterals,
forfeited $500 additional. and We're then

chased in Europe at an expense OF So 900,
which plant was represented to be the best

Denies the Practice.

81 beg to say to you there is no such prac-
tiCe, nor has there been on the part of the
judges. Since the date the Potomac Flee
tric Company was fined $50 in each of two
cases, in the person of Lindley Sinclair,
its agent, October, 1900, and no minimum
fine has been imposed 1t is true that at
the dGte said fines were imposed there was
pending against Sinclair, as such agent, a
large number of cases, something like fifty
or sixty, as reported to the court, which
were afterward disposed of by some per-
son or persons, other than the court, by
permitting the defendant to pay $40, the
minimum fine. in about one-half of said
cases, and the same number seem to have
been indefinitely postponed. This action was
not had in open court, and therefore the
judges know but little about it except from
statements made by others.
1T is proper | should state that very re-
oently-within the present month-the assist
ant corporation counsel has, upon ascer-
taining that minimum collateral had been
deposited by numerous old Offenders the
Potomac Electric Power Company being of
the number, awaited himself of his right
to ask the court for attachments to COM
pei the deposit of larger amounts, as he
had often done in past years in other
classes of cases, which attachments have
been ordered issued at once. and said de-
PENDANTS have been required by the court
TO increase their collaterals from 10 to 5j
per cent
Il desire also to further state that Sin
clair, agent. denominatcd by you as chief
offender, appeared in court the tenth day
of this month 10 answer to nineteen in
formations for smoke violations, and when
the cases We're called, withdrew the de-
mand for jury trial formerly made; went
to trial, his attorney conceding that the
evidence would probably show a violation
of the law. but did not care to enter a plea
of guilty, and after the testimony for the
plaintiff was introduced statement OF
facts was presented by the defenfant's
counsel and also by the vice president OF
the Potomac Electric Power Company, OF
which Sinclair was agent, asking the cor
sidera ton of the court to said facts In fix
ing the penalties in said cases, the nine
teen cases being submitted for trial as
one.

Opinion Not Changed.

After considering the letters of the two
judges Of the Police Court and the state
ment of the corporation counsel Commits
sioner mcfarland declared that the explain
atoms do not change his opinion that the
Police Court ought to have dealt more
severely with chronic offenders. His state
ment on the matter follows:
Il shall move that copies of the letters
of the Police Court judges be sent to the
President and to the Senate committee on
the District of Columbia, in order that
they may have full benefit of the explana-
tons they have made. The statement OF
the corporation counsel showing the good
reasons why, on his recommendation, GER
tain cases were settled out of court, and
also that the practice of allowing habitual
offenders to forfeit minimum collateral
was by the express authority of the court,
should also be sent
THE explanations do not alter my opin-
ion that the Police Court ought to have
dealt with chronic offenders by imposing

ed that he will not meet Joe Cans as
long as the negro is under Herford's
management, but that he will fight any
pugilist who can make 1873 pounds, after
few months rest.
Nelson said: Jimmy Gardner can

Bostonians famed the air.

The next three men, Parent, Stahl and
