Appreciation.

SOUTH OMAHA, Nov. ito the Editor
Of The Bee: AT the solicitation of a num-
Der Of the sons and daughters Of the EN-
eraid isle who read that patriotic editorial
Of yours that appeared in your great pa
per November 4 headed. IAN Eve Green
Hope" / am requested to express their
appreciation OF the valuable services you
have rendered in explanation OF the mis-
sion Of the Irish envoy, Hon. 7. p.
O'Connor, N. p, In America.
It is unnecessary for me to add anything
to what you have already said in your
editorial, any more than to say that the
righteousness OF the Irish cause deserves
the sympathy and assistance OF every
citizen who loves liberty.
The Irish in ireland, as well as those
of US In America, are fortunate In having
such practical and sincere leaders as we
have today at the head of affairs, John
e. Redmond and the parliamentary party
in Ireland, Michael ). Ryan in Philadel-
phia, John O'Caliaghan In Boston and this
United Irish league in America. From
The waves Of the Missouri to the spires Of
Newery no greater Irishmen can bC
found. They are worthy SUCCESSORS to the
martyrs and patriots of 17ss, 1s47 and 1867
and they have the loyal support OF al
those who were ever and Away faithful
and true to the old cause.
The news transmitted from the old lane
is encouraging to every friend of freedom
Words may avail OF It. swords IL they fai
what matter is the weapon, If ony we ar

buttons.

Suggestive Letter Calling for COntrI-
buttons.
College authorities are prone to remind
the public that their institutions spend
much more on each student a year than
the student pays in. Treasurer McClung
Of Yale reports these figures: Cost per
student, 1896; received per student, 3181. The
poorer colleges are inclined to grumble a
little because their alumni do not give
alma mater more money in view OF the
fact that no college student ever paid in
full for his education. An editorial appeal
In an alumni publication printed by one
Of the eastern colleges states the case
rather sharply, in saying;
See here, you - man, what are YOU
doing for the college? DO you realize thai
the gross cost per student for a years ed.
ucation in the school Of liberal arts during
19OS-lSO9 was s2es, Of which only 3125 was
paid in tuition, and hat the net cost wa.

Alsop Claim to
Be Arbitrated
Bill of Million and Half of American
Corporation Against Chile Goes
to The Hague.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Nov. IAN agreement
was reached today between the United
States and Chile to submit the Alsop claim
to The Hague tribunal for arbitration.
The Alsop claim, which amount to up
wards of 1850, 900 arose over the advance
Of money by the Alsop company to the
Bolivian government in 1874 in exchange
for rights to valuable Euano deposits. The
republic also contracted to settle the debt
by the payment OF customs receipts at the
perth of africa, and by granting leases on
silver mines.
War between Bolivia, Peru and Chile was
declared before these arrangements could
be carried out and when hostilities WerS
ended Chile was in possession OF the section
Of Bolivia around africa and the contract
between the company and Bolivia there
fore could not be fulfilled. In 1885, on repre-
sensations being made by the American
government, Chile agreed to settle tn,
claim, but no payment has yet been made
various pretexts having been furnished fol
the delay.

A Showing of Cost at western state
Installations.
Vice Chancellor Carruth OF the State
University OF Kansas makes public some
interesting figures as to the cost OF edu-
cation per student at the state univer-
stiles OF the central western states. In
this showing the cost per student at the
Nebraska university is lowest, being $147;
Kansas ranking next lowest, with Sl55 per
student. The figures are for the school
year of 1867. Michigan. Missouri, IL
inois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Colorado show
higher cost.
The average yearly expenditure a pupil

given as t2S.25 in the recently published
report OF the commissioner Of education.
In 1870 it was only s15.66.
Nevada has the highest yearly expen-
diture, $72.15 a pupil. followed by New
