Chrtstiania-

The exchange Of professors plan

university, and President Nicholas
Murray Butler, Of Columbia university,
will deliver lectures at the Univei s,ty

engagements I'm Copenhagen. The sue
cess of this venture has now oc-
casioned new proposition. On the
American side 1t is proposed that u
common fund be contributed by the
Universities Of Minnesota, North na-
kota, South Dakota and Iowa to bring
lecturers from Scandinavian institu
tons and they In turn will send their
hagen and Stockholm. The entire
matter has been preached within Il
short time, but the faculties of the
universities at Copenhagen and Chris
tiania are eager for contamination
of the plan, and have unotficially ex-
pressed their willingness to enter into
agreements for the sending over of
their professors. If the institutions
in Norway and Denmark take favor
able action on any proposition made
by American universities, there is lit
tie doubt but that similar action will
be taken by a Swedish university
probably the Upsala university.

documents may still be found. The
Aftonbadet Is now urging the govern
ment to take up the matter and II may
be that negotiations may be started
with Denmark for the purpose OF Sc
curing the return Of the collection to
Norway, where, according to the AZ

ing injunctions.

Washington, April 13.-Through
Senator Overman IN. c., the senate
committee on judiciary favorably re.
ported bill regulating the practice of
granting injunctions by United States
courts restraining the enforcement of
state statutes. The bill provides that
no circuit or district court shall issue
such temporary injunctions on the
ground Of unconstitutionality until
testimony shall have been taken by
three judges, at least two of whom
shall be circuit judges. 1t requires
five days notice of such proceeding
to the governor and attorney general
Of the state involved unless In cases
In which the loss of so much time may
work irreparable damage, when a tenn
porary order may be issued. The bill
also provides for direct appeal of
such cases to the supreme court OF
the United States and gives them
precedence there. II is intended to
meet conditions such as have recently
arisen In Minnesota, North Carolina

Information at my command, withhold
ing nothing that would assist him in

that was by him treated with all the

ment, most OF which has been done by

which individuals have had as much or
more of the courtesy OF this office
extended to them than any one else and
who are in a measure responsible for
some of the things which have been
criticized.
l have been charged by some with
incompetency, which l fatty deny, and
will say that in many respects honor
able mention might be made of my
records, and my attention to the duties
of my office. l might also call attention
to the fact that when l took charge of
the auditors Office in 1889 and which
was at that time in a state of utter
chaos. l succeeded in bringing il up to
the proper standard and in installing a
system of accounts In both that and the
treasurer's Office (the books of which
are in great measure identical) which
was pronounced by the public examiner
to be one of the best in the state, and
which system is in use today and has
been copied in different parts of the
state.
In conclusion will say that 1 have
at all times tried to preform my duties
in an honest and conscientious manner
and to treat every person, without
religious, political or personal prefer
ence, with that courtesy due from
every public officer and to do my
utmost to assist them in the business
which calls them to my office.
If have failed in any way to do this
1t has not been for want of disposition
on my part.
