New Engineering Courses.

Madison, Wis, April "a New
four year courses in mechanical,
electrical, civil, and chemical en-
gineering, for entrance to which
one year of general college work or
it's equivalent is to be required, are
to be abl1shed in the college OF
engineering of the University OF
Wisconsin. Upon the successful
completion of these new courses, the
professional degrees of mechanical
engineer. electrical engineer, civil
engineer, and chemical engineer
respectively will be granted.
The new four year courses with
advanced entrance requirements, it
is believed, will mark very con-
siderable step in advance in the
matter of engineering education.
There is a very general feeling
among engineering educators and
practicing engineers, that the edu-
cation of the engineer should be
broader and more thorough than it
has been in the past.
The ear of college work required
tor entrace to these new profession
al courses in engineering may be
done in any standard college, and
consists of the subjects usually
taught in the first year of the stand
ard college course. With this year
of general preliminary training, the
four year course Of instruction in
engineering can be made broader
and more advanced than the pres
ent four year course. Economics,
for example, is introduced as a
regular study throughout one year,
and provision is made in the senior
y ear for elective courses in depart
ments other than engineering. The
broader and more advanced course
of training in engineering will be
recognized by the comforting of the
professional degrees.
The present four year courses in
civil, mechanical, electrical, cheml-
cal and general engineering leading
to the degrees of bachelor of science
in engineering, will be retained, and
only the regular high school course
will be required for entrance to
these courses. A slight modifica-
ton has been made IN these courses
with view to reducing the amount
of work required in the sophomore
and junior years, The technical
foreign language in the sophomore
year has been omitted, and the
amount of work in mechanics and
mathematics slig chilly reduced.

Manila, April 15.-Two members Of

soldiers wounded in fight of the con-
stabulary and regulars with Moro out
laws 10 the leland of Miudsnso, accord
ing to messages received here. Tie news
comes in a private dispatch and has not
yet been confirmed, however. The battle
is reported to have taken place near the
town of Lanto. A column composed OF
cousisbulary snd battalion OF artillery,
had cen following band of outlaws
for some time. Ii Is supposed here that
the soldiers overlook the Moros and en-
gaged them. No mention of the casual
Ties among the outlaws is made in the

OPPOSES THE PRESIDENT.

On behalf OF the leaders Of the House,
Representative Watson, Of Indiana, the
republican whip, last night held con-
ference with President Roosevelt. |: is
understood that Mr.. Watson indicated
that The leaders OF the House, during the
remaining days of the session, would
not consent to the passage OF any i'm
por tant legislation aside from the
currency bill and the regular supply
measures.
The leaders, 1t is stated through Mr..
Watson, informed the president that
Congress would not agree to sppropria-
tions for more than two battle ships.
Also, that no action would be taken at
this time on the civic federation bill pro-
posing important amendments to The
Sherman antitrust act. 10 word, the
republican leaders gave the pre- sident TO
understand that they would not submit
to executive interference to matters of
legislation. Senator Hale, chairman OF
the committee on naval affairs, gave on
Yesterday afternoon brief interview
a propos OF the Presidents reiterated
recommendation for fonr battle ships.
''The naval committee will make pro-
vision in the naval bill for ONLY two bat
tie ships" be said. That number is
sufficient, and there is a possibility that
only one may be provided for before
the bill is finally passed. There is q
strong sentiment at both ends Of the
Capitol in favor Of only one ship, al
though, as | said before, appropriation
will probably be made for two, but no
more"
Another informal poll of the House
was completed yesterday afternoon, and
the figures show that the tWo-bsttle ship
provision in the naval bill will carry by
comfortable majority.
