PRINCIPLES TO GOVERN
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
Committee Promulgates Conclusions
Relative to Establishment of
Institution at Capital.

The conclusions reached by the ex-
ecutive council Of the national commit
tee of four hundred appointed to CON
slider the establishment OF the Uniyer-
sity of the United States have been an
nounced. and are as follows:
',First-That no university organiza-
ton yet chartered can meet the de-
maEds of the country for such a uni
Versity at the National Capitai-a UNI
Verstty, namely, that shall De neither
private nor denominational but public
and fitting elimination Of the now in
oornpIetc system of American educa-
tion; that shall be free from partisan
ship in every form; that shall be grad
uate in all departments; that shall sus-
tain helpful relations to all other educa-
tional Institutions In America; that
shall be so national in name and spirit
and SO characterized by national pur-
poses and uses, as we'll as by national
representation in the governing board
and by attendance from all the States
and from every part Of the foreign
world, as If possible to more than real
ize the exalted aims Of President Wash
ineton and the multitude OF his sup
porters in ell these high regards; a uni
versity that shall be TO both people and
government new source of inspira-
ton. elevation, and progress, and shall
make Of Washington chief center of
learning for the world.
Second-That In view OF all these
facts, IL is now more than ever the duty
or the national university committee
and OF the National Educational Asso-
citation. which great organizations have
becen OF one mind on this subject for
many years, as IL is OF all who appre-
ctatc the higher learning and are aT1bi-
tious for Americas supremacy in things
which are highest, to devote themselves
with new energy TO the early establish
nient of the University of the United
states, on the basis Of the bill intro
duced by Senator Frve at the last ses-
sion OF Congress- bill that fuIfills all
the conditions aforesaid and yet makes
no demand upon the public treasury,
the reliance being on great and suffI,
ctent endowment from patriotic citizens
and organizations.

MANY BULL FACTORS
IN COTTON MARKET I

NEW YORK, May 2s-The cotton
market opened strong. influenced by q
sensational combination of bull factors.
Chief of these was an advance of nine
teen points on futures nd q, on spots in
Liverpool, said TO be based on japanese
developments and on bad crop news
from the South. - -
a report that more rain had fallen In
the Western belt. that the Times Demo
crat was out with g. report that the
area sown to cotton this year Is Is per
cent less than the acreage last year. and
that crop prospects were the gloomiest
in years, also helped to strengthen and
excite the market.
Heavy liquidation by the bulls checked
the rise.
