From Revolutionary Stuaents or
Opening of Universities.

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 2.-ln accord
nee with the imperial order Of April
%, the ministry of education is pre-
pairing to open September II all tie
universities and higher institutions of
learning. which have been closed
s!nce February, when the students
struck and refused to continue their
studies until political reforms and
notifications of the administration
of the universities We're granted.
A repetition of the trouble is antic-
ipated. as although a large number of
students will desire to resume their
sludies-haye, in fact made applica-
ton to do so--the radical clement, es-
pecially the Socialistc students. will
undoubtedly attempt to prevent the re-
opening of the universities, especially
since the government has made no
change in the administrative instruc-

Strolling back into the new Tenderloin
the detectives observed much the same

that rolls Of bills instead Of solitary ones
were passing hands and that the players
were men. The man getting the money in
this instance had $3.50 in his pockets and

no conclusion to the matter had beer

Mr. Morgan came here about O'Clock
on his yacht Corsair and left about 8. This
was Mr. Morgan's second visit this summer
The annual meeting of the China-Ameri-
an Development Company takes place
In Jersey City Tomorrow, at which the
question OF surrendering the railroad con-
| cession from Canton to Hankow to the
Chinese Government will be considered
China has made an offer for the concession.
King Leopold OF Belgium, one of the largest
stockholders, has been greatly opposed
to surrendering the concession.
1t is believed that Mr.. Morgan has de-
cided to leave the question whether the
road shall be sold to China or not entirely
to the President. China has offered 81, OO0 !.
600 for the twenty-eight miles Of road actu-
ally built and for the concessions for the
remainder.
The President, 1t is said, feels that the
sale would he a great blow to American
prestige in China. He feels that the open
door policy would receive severe blow
If the road was sold. Former Minister
E. H. Conger. it is said, strongly advised
against the sale.
Mr. Morgan, it is said to- night. has decided
to let his own interests be guided by the
interests Of the country. The sale would,
from pecuniary point Of view, be advan-
tageous to the Americana China Develop
ment Company, but the United States
would suffer in prestige.

way, is regarded az significant. Both Mr..
Looms and the Minister refuse to disclose
what took place at their meeting to-day.
The Minister left Washington tonight, and
is to be absent two weeks.
1t was said at the Chinese Legation tonight
that probably nothing would come OF the
meeting tomorrow of the Hankow-Canton
Railway stockholders. and that an adjourn
ment would probably be taken without
action. The reason for this is understood
to be that the stockholders were not yet
ready to act on the offer Of the Oh inese
