SUMMER MANEUVRES
May Clear Away Reports Of Sailing Of
Fleet for the Pacific.

Washington, July S.-Rear Admiral
Willard H. Brownson. chief of the
bureau of navigation of the navy de-
rartmcnt. has returned here after a
visit to President Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay. He declines to express an opin-
ion as to when the battleship fleet may
move to the Pacific coast. Informal
ton obtained from a reliable source is
to the effect that there is no likelihood
of immediate orders being issued to
Admiral Evans to send his vessels to
the Pacific coast. The present program
OF the navy department is to have the
ships of the Atlantic fleet engage in
their summer maneuvres.

BY our own Wire. Publishers Press.
ROME June 2O.-Details Of plot
hatched at the recent meeting Of an
archist leaders at Zurich to assassi-
nate King Victor Emanuel Of Italy be-
came known to-day Lots we're drawn
and the task Of the assassination fell
to two of the best known European
anarchists.
The Swiss secret police, who had
been watching the meeting, obtained a
tip Of the doings OF the plotters and
communicated with the police at
Rome.
Special detectives were sent to all
frontier stations and occupants Of
every car entering italy were searched
in a vain effort to apprehend the con-
spirators. Extra precaution was taken
at the royal palace and a double de-
tail OF secret service men is still on
guard
It is believed that the purpose OF the
anarchist chiefs was to murder the
king before the coming international
anarchist congress, at Amsterdam, in
order TO arouse enthusiasm among the
followers of the movement.

ENGINEERS LEAD.

THE awarding Of degrees at the commence
ment exercises at Delaware College may
cause comment because Of the character OF the
diplomas that the young men have received The
young men pursuing an educational course at
the institution are devotng themselves more to
the technical pursuits The old conception Of a
college, to a large extent, is fading away. It has
not been many years since nearly all the gradu-
ates received the Bachelor Of Arts degree, the
reward for a classical course. But Of the twenty
six men who were graduated at Newark yester-
day only three had pursued this time-honored
course Of study leading to the ancient degree
The course that calls for the Bachelor of Sci
ence degree, which is now given in practically all
the colleges, was concession made years ago to
the growing sentiment against the strictly class-
cal course, and it became more or less popular
among the young men who wanted TO avoid the
Greek course 1t substituted other Studies for
the culture that was supposed to proceed from
the study Of the classics Yet, at Delaware only
three young men were awarded the Bachelor of
Science diploma. Thus only half dozen stu
dents, in addition to one who received the sci
ence degree for an irregular course, were given
diplomas for courses Of study that have received
the highest approval in the past On the other
hand nineteen young men are graduated as en-
technically fitted at once for their pro-
fessions.
The course in agriculture, over which much
fuss has been made, does not produce a single
graduate Evidently the farmers believe the ag
ricultural study there is worthless, or they have
determined not to send their sons to Delaware,
or they are graduating them as engineers.
The condition at Delaware regarding engineer
ing is similar to that in many other institutions
The number OF students in the technical or en-
gineering courses has been largely increasing
while those who take the classical course are
becoming comparatively fewer. The great pro-
gress of the country in material development has
opened field for young men in engineering lines
but it is a question whether the supply will not
exceed the demand
While the classical and the scientific courses
are in disfavor there may be a revival OF interest
in those studies. In the larger colleges the de-
crease in the numbero Of classical students is part
ly because Of the decline in the number of young
men who are entering the ministry from the
larger colleges and universities. The medical
colleges, however, are insisting upon better
preliminary education for medical students, and
this will result in a revival Of popularity among
the young men Of the ancient studies. OF course
the lawyers will insist upon the classical-or sci
entihc courses, and they can never fall entirely
out OF favor so long as the study Of law is as
popular among the young men as it is to-day.

RECOUNT IN NEW YORK.

q ONERNOR HUGHES has signed the bill
~ providing for recount of the vote cast
at the election in New York City, which resulted
In Mayor Mcclellan occupying the chair of chief
magistrate Of the metropolis
During his canvas for election as governor,
Mr. Hughes promised he would use his endeav-
DIS to secure recount of the vote and remove
the cloud that has overhung the title OF McClel-
Ian to the mayors office Immediately after the
Election the friends Of William Randolph Hearst
asserted vehemently that McClellans alleged
election was the result OF wholesale frauds prac-
uced upon the ballot and that a recount would
show that Hearst and not Mcclellan had been
chosen mayor by the people of New York
The returns on their face and as counted
showed that Mcclellan had a majority OF fewer
than 1000 in the greater city. The courts were
appealed to by the Hearst men for a recount Of
ali the ballots, but by a divided opinion OF the
Judges, the efforts Of those who wanted a re-
count were ehoked off Mcclellan, in the mean
hme, holds the office. Efforts made in 100
