Our University Letter
By Robt. Turner

The program for Easter week
as announced last Wednesday
morning is one well calculated
to meet with the approval of all
students and members of the
faculty. 1t is decidedly the best
ever planned for the week at
the University. 1t should also
prove attractive to the many
visitors who will be here for the
occasion. The program in
cludes Maypole dances, the
croning of the queen of Easter
week, the intercollegiate Track
Meet, a cross country run for
the Sylvan Trophy Cup a tennis
meet with Davidson, four base
ball games-two each with
Davidson and Oak Ridge, and
the three performances by the
Polkadot Club, which will pre-
sent "The Tale of a Sea Ser
pent" in the Columbia Theatre
April Is and IA.
The University students are
noting with pleasure the man
county field days being held
over the State, and they expect
the largest attendance this wear
at the 1nra-State High School
Oratorical and Track Meet in
its history The High School
boys will be guests of the STU
dents of the University during
their stay in Columbia.
For the first time in the his
tory of football at the University
there is a Spring workout for
the next year aspriants for the
block &C."
The track meet which was to
have been held with Davidson
last week was postponed at the
request of the Davidson mana
ger until a later date.
The Federal League team,
which has been using the Uni
versity diamond for Spring
practice, has returned North to
open the baseball season.
The many friends of Alfred
VonKolnitz, the former football
and baseball star of the Univer-
sity. are glad to hear of his con.
tlnued success with the Cincin-
matt club. \

London. May IS. 1880 p. m.-There
have been no developments today in
the threatened break between Winston
Spencer Churchill. first lord % the ad-
miralty. and Lord Fisher. admiral Of
the fleet and first sea lord. Il is un-
derstood. however. that the matter
will be subject OF a statement in the
house OF commons today.
The Times is among the London
newspapers this morning which men
tions the fact that Lord Fisher has not
attended the admiralty for the last two
days. and the rumors arising from this
Of friction between him and Mr.. Churc-
hill.
Editorially the Times refers to these
reports as confirming the popular inn
preston that the government, like the
nation. has reached the restless transit
tional stage. The editorial refers in
general terms TO dissatisfaction eX-
pressed in many quarters with Mr..
Churchill. who Is credited with as
suming responsibility and overriding
his expert advisers Ito a degree which
might At any time endanger the ma
tional safety The Times declines 10
express a definite opinion, but sUg-
gests IL would be well 10 have sea
man at the head OF the admiralty who
would command popular approval, and
IL thinks the only man for this post is
Lord Fisher.
Il was intimated in authoritative
circles today that any differences
which may have existed between Mr.
Churchill and Lord Fisher had been
composed.
Secretary for War Kitchener stated
in the house OF lords this afternoon
that the British and French govern
ments felt that the allied troops must
be adequately protected against pois-
onous gases by the employment OF sim
liar methods These would remove
the enormous and unjustifable ad-
vantage which must otherwise exist
Calls for 100000 More Recruits.
Kitchener said he wanted 100000
more recruits 70 form new armies. He
expressed confidence that the country
soon would be in a satisfactory posi-
ton with regard 10 the supply OF am
munition The news from the Oar
danelles was thoroughly satisfactory.

KUEPFERLE TRIAL
OPENS IN LONDON
British Authorities Maintain Alleged
American Accused OF Spying Is
German Citizen.

London. May 1S.-The trial OF Anton
Kuepferle. who claims TO be a natur-
allied American citizen residing at one
time in Brooklyn. y. Y. charged with
spying. opened in Old Bailey police
court today before Lord Reading. lord
chief justice. and Justices Avory and
Lush.
Although II had been announced ear
lier that the hearings would be in cam
era, the authorities decided at the last
moment on a public trial, and the
court room was crowded. Admission
by ticket was insisted on. The charge
alleges that the prisoner. with the in
tention OF assisting the enemy of Great
Britain. feloniously attempted to com
municate information respecting war
ships and military forces and material
calculated TO be useful TO the enemy
The prosecution was conduced by the
attorney general.
Kuepferle pleaded not guilty In
opening the case the attorney general
remarked that the prisoner had claim
ed TO be an American. but the prosecu-
tion contended he is a German, who
had written a letter to an address in
a neutral country in Europe giving in
formation concerning British warships
and their positions in the Irish chan
mel and the disposition OF the kings
forces The letter appeared to be an
innocent commercial communication
until il was closely examined. II was
found TO be interlined with the above
information in the German language,
written in invisible ink.
