The company has arranged to have the two

DISMAY At PRINCETON.
R"mor That Petitioning Students
Must Il pOI0gi>e or Leare Seminary.

Princeton, y. J. April 19.-There is a rumor
here tonight that the board of directors of the
Princeton Theological Seminary, at the meeting
on Saturday decided TO demand an apology
from the student committee which represented
the faculty. the penalty for failure TO apologize
being expulsion The debate at the meeting
centred on whether not the students appeal
should be needed. After a heated debate the
directors decided, by narrow margin TO re-
fuse to listen to the students.
The directors expressed the opinion that the
students were trying to take matters into their
own hands in petitonng the directors. and that
body resented the action Three definite steps
were passed reprmandng the two lower classes
who sent in the petition; second. apology
was demanded from the student committee Of
twelve which conferred with the faculty and
drew up the second petition; third. expulsion
made the penalty for a refusal on the part
of the committee TO apologize
This drsstic action has created q great stir at
the seminary and also at the neighboring uni
versty. The general sentiment at the seminary
is that apology will be forthcoming. The
students feel that. if this report is true. the
directors are lodging the real issue to
whether or not the changes requested by the
students shall be made and are considering
only the technical question of the students
right of appeal
The trouble has its origin in the demand Of
the students for a curriculum more in accord
with the needs of the modern pulpit.

COLONIAL COUNCIL
FOR ST. CROTX.
(Continued from 1rjs No, 81

Continued from Iris No. 81
Under date of the 9th April last year,
the Government of the Danish West

Colonial Council, Consul Z. Schroeder, mem
Der of the Colonial Council, Consul Chr
Daniel, Member Of the Colonial Council, AVID
LAWYER j. p. Jor9ensen, under the presl-
dency of Governments Secretary HolWeg-

the Ordinance of 9th September 1853 con
corning trades and professions in the Danish
West India Possessions.
After having held some meetings. and dis
cussed the matter, the Commission begs to
make the following remask k, in regard to
which it should be remembered that they
concern only matters III ST. Ihon9o8.
The Ordinance in question On It's day a
good work. contained good and for the cir
cumstance8 here specially suitable rules, and
the Commission must express is regret
that several of the best and most useful
provisions, whose observance would have
been a great gain for the island, have been
Only a dead letter.
Among the provisions which are not OBJ
served shall be pointed out:
s 2. Enquiry into the earlier r%olatlons and
conduct Of foreigners, also the proIuc-
ton of proofs of competency.
a. An the pro yisions in this paragraph fail
almost entirely to be observed.
IS. No control whatever IS maintained over
the carrying into town Of ffewood etc.
Among the articles named fruits
should be included.
SS9-11. The rules concerning specimens of
wopk and tests Of proficiency.
The Commission would therefore first and
foremost recommend, in regard to the pro
visions pointed out as not being observed,
that it should be endeavoured TO have them
observed for the future.
Notwithstanding that the Ordinance is a
good one, yet it was unavoidable that some
individual provisions are not quite clear,
