cuse University.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune, ]


Syracuse. Jan. 19.-John s. Huyler, of
New York, d trustee of Syracuse Uni
versity, has promised Chancellor James
r. Day the sum of $4,000 for the hen
eft Of the institution.
Mr.. Huyler hastened from New York
yesterday TO attend the meeting of she
board of trustees in this city, but was
delayed and did not arrive until the
meeting had adjourned. His form of
making good for tardiness AT meetings,
however, is gratifying to those inter
ested in the future of the university, and
on the $4,000 basis it will not be OBJ
jectionable if he is late again.
Mr. Huyler has been trustee during
the greater part of Chancellor Days ad-
ministration, and is one of the generous
givers for university work For several
years he has sustained the work of the
Christian Association of the university
Chancellor Day announced to-day that
the trustees of Syracuse University had
voted TO establish agricultural and for
estry courses in that institution.

H PALACE BURNS.
Building Used by Turkish Par
hament-Loss, SIC, ,OOO,O 900.

Constantinople, Jan. 1e-The palace
of Cheragan, where the Turkish parlia-
ment meets, was entirely destroyed by
fire to-day. The loss is great, as the
building alone cost about S16,O00,D00.
The fire originated between the private
apartments reserved for the Sultan and
the Chamber of Deputies, and is believed
to have been due to defective heating ap-
paratus although there have been re-
ports current that reactionary agents
We're responsible for it.
The fire started shortly before noon.
and a strong wind famed the flames,
which spread with great rapidity. Little
furniture and very few of the important
documents were saved. Practically all
the archives of the Chamber of Deputies,
including important bills and the budget
estimates. were burned. AS a conse-
quence the business of parliament Will
be seriously interrupted.
What few effects were saved were
taken from the palace by sailors sta
toned at the legations, principally Rus
slams and Americans, who were first
to arrive on the scene. Thousands of
persons witnessed the fire from the roofs
of buildings.
SuperstitiOus Orientals regard the fire
as an evil omen.
The Palace of Cheragan was built by
Sultan Abdul-Aziz and was the finest of
the palaces on the Bosporus- 1t was
constructed of marble and the interior
was remarkable for the beauty of the
scuIptured ornaments in marble and
wood.
For many years it was the home OF the
6epOsed Sultan, Murad V. and was in
accessible to visitors. It was occupied
by parliament when that body was
formed, little more than year ago.

SELLS HIS L4RYNX.
Singer Also Wills His Lungs
to Medical COLLEGE.
IBv reIegraph 10 Tho Tribune. !


Detroit. Jan 19.-Albert Morphy. Of
Chicago. known as an outdoor singer.
received a letter while in Detroit last
Saturday asking him for a price on his
Iarynx and lungs The letter was from
Dr. James H. Blair. of the Bennett Medi-
cal College of Chicago. The letter was
alluring enough to induce .Lorphy to go
to Chicago.
Morphy had practically concluded
terms when his family intervened, and
TO get time to reconsider he returned to
Detroit. DR.. Blair followed him here,
raised his price. and Morphy sold his
larnyx and lungs to the medical college
for the benefit of science after his death.
The organs are wanted because Morphy
was once apparently in the last stages
OF consumption, and was cured by out
door singing. He formerly sang only in
halls, DR.. Blair advising the change.
Morphy has put a clause in his will
leaving the organs to the college.
