President Worst conceived the idea
of securing donation for. the college
library i'll January, 1902, and has since
been hard at work on the movement.
His first applications were turned down
by Mr.. Carnegie, who had already do
mated library to Fargo and a number
of other towns in this part of the north
west and felt that he had done enough
for this locality.
President Worst declined to take "no''
for an answer and persevered in his
efforts, to interest the man of steel.
Every plan that his ingenuity could sug-
gest was used and finally the popular
head of the agricultural college reached
Mr., Carnegie through mutual friend,

made.

RUSSIANS QUARREL OVER
THE PEACE PROPOSITIONS

ST. Petersburg; March 3l,--Mem-
,bers Of the war party who, arc at dag
gers drawn with the friends Of peace
are industrously iilsintaiing that if
Rrssiail diplomacy is doing anything
in the DIRECTION of peace it is without
imperial saictioil and is III. realty only
an unofficial eradcavor to induce Japan
to agree to something on the lines OF
no cession of territory and no indcm-
nifty and to enable the advocates Of
peace to point out to the emperor that
peace is possible without national hui
initiation. They show that the enlper-
or is rccalcitrant on the question of
prosecution Of war; telling a story to
the effect that when Foreign Minister
Lainsdorf in advocacy of the policy
OF peace, drew the gloonniest view Of
the situation iii the east his majesty
became angry and lost patience. The
perseverance with which these, are re-
peated indicates beyond doubt that they
arc circulated with deliberate purpose.
In order to allay the agitation and dis
content over the delay in the work Of
the Bouligan commission which is
charged with formulating the reforms
authorized in the imperial rescript Of
March 5, il is said that Emperor Mich
olasy has decided to issue rescript to
Interior Minister Bouligaii on April s,
iii which he will urge the necessity for
expedition and the fixing Of certain
date for the assembling assembly, which
representation will be provided for by
the commission.
