A Dili to establish a national university, to be known as “The University of the United States,” was introduced in both houses of Con- gress today—by Senator Proctor of Vermont in the Senate and by Gen. Hooker of Mississippi in the House. It provides: (1.) For « post-graduate institution where only the higher instruction shall be given, with facilities for the work of research and inves- tigation, (2.) For control by a board of regents repre- senting all the states, with an executite com- | mittee for current business and » council of faculties for educational management. (8.) Against partisan or sectarian tests and instruction. (4) That, while the opportunities afforded shall be open to all who can use them, degrees shall be reserved for such only as have already received atleast the bachelor’s degree from some institution recognized for this purpose by the university authorities. (5) For free scholars in number not less than one for each congressional digtrict and two for oe tor. (8) For fellowships open to persons of genius from whatever quarter of the world. (7) Grants the site of the old Naval Observaé tory which were set apart for a national uni. versity by President Washington in 1796: thorizes the acceptance of gifts and bequests and sets apart lic lands, half of such one-buif to accumulate as an endowment fund until with other revenues sufficient for maintenance. 8).

Some of the Jurors Write to the Judge in His Behaif. This morning Messrs. Robert Christy, W. P. Williamson and D, W. Gilassie, counsel for George G. Schroeder, convicted in the Crim- inal Court last month for false pretenses, made a motion of reheating of the motion for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence. Counsel for the | defendant submitted afiidavits tending to show that a note for $100, which it was | alleged was a part of the transaction, the defendant had given to the prose cuting witness in the ordinary course of busi- ness and had been discounted by the prosecut- ing witness, and that a namber of the jury at least had based their verdict on the belief that the said note had been a part of the money re. ceived throuzh defendant's alleged false pre- tenses. Under date of January 19 Messrs. F. H. Op- penbeimer, J. J. Appich, James A. Moxley the that defendant, after wrove more Judge Mature consid- their attention at the trial they had been forced to the conclusion that they did Schroeder great wrong, and that if they had und stood the caso when the verdict was rendered or as well as they did Inter from a recourideration of the evidence they would have voted not guilty. The four jurors explained that they addressed the court to enable it to correct the wrong which they un- consciously did the defendant before it was too Inte. This letter was made » part of the papers submitted in support of the rehearing and the granting of the trial. Col. Christy contended that if the negotia- tion of the note was as alleged by the defend- ant the guilty knowledge requisite to complete the crime was lacking. Judge McComas denied the motion, stating that it seemed to the court that the whole matter had been gone into during the trial, and the materiality of the alleged new evidence would be doubtful in the event of a new trial. The trial had been unusually protracted and every point both during and following the trial most patiently beard and carefully consid- , and in the opinion of the court nothing had shown to justify a reversal of the verdict. After Schroeder had de- clared his entire innocence in the matter, and counsel for the convicted man had sul mitted a letter from the jury asking the clem- ency of the court. Judge MeComas sentenced the prisoner to three years in the Albany penitentiary, remarking it was very hard that in such cases the wrong doing of ‘the offenders worked most painfully against innocent ones, still the community must be protected; and’ he was convinced that in the present instance a sevare penalty should be intlicted. The wife of the prisoner, a refined-looking young woman, was in court, and when sentence Was prononnced waslod; i ing condition. a of the kentence was nd when mirage him, re- evidently a great surprise to Sch counsel, to console and e marked that for the purposes of « pardoa a severe eentence was best, he replied with a deep sigh, “Not if you have to eerve it.” Sixty days were “granted in which to prepare a bill of exceptions, and sentence wi suspended pending an appeal to the Court in General Term. It is understood that an a Peal to executive clemency will also be made. ee ee ALEXANDRIA, THE MAvon's PLAN. A postible danger to the fature of the Alex- andria public schools, mentioned some time since in Tux Stan, by reason of the debt which holds all the school buildings in the city under mortgage, is now attracting attention. The | school board at its inst meeting took the initiative in a measure which will probably Jead to some active movement on the subject. ‘Mayor Strauss has suggested that one-tenth of the fines at the mayors office should be set apart asa fund to redeem the school build- ings, There seems to be no doubt that in this way a class of the popu- lation that have never paid one cent to. the support of the schools can be made to | make a fair contribution to that object. If the mayor, in all cases where a maximum fine is not imposed, can add quictly 25 per centum to the amouft ’ of fino he would ordinarily a sess and the city council by an crdi- nance will give 25 per cent of the fines toa sinking fund to pay off the school debt, the corporation treasury will be no worse off, and in Jess than four years the school buildings will be delivered from mortgage and the schools be free from debt. THE STATUS OF THE PHILLIPS CASE. ‘The state's attorney has received as yet no official notice of the decision in the murder caso of Jefferson Phillips. The counsel of Phillips have not yet determined their course on the new trial, but it is certain that the case will be tried here and not removed to Fredericksburg, the talk on that subject having no foundation. Phillips continues in fair health. SALE OF WELL-KNOWN PROPERTY.

He also expressed the belief that the restoration of the native dynasty to control of affairs in Hawaii was now an impossibility in any circumstance. Dr. Smith was asked if he anticipated any de- lay in the progress of the negotiations between the officials of this government and the Ha- waiian commissioners. He replied that he did not. “The proposition that the Hawaiian commissioners present,” he said “may not be acceptable to this government, but I look for an early answer to their plea, whatever that an- swer may be.” THE STATE DEPARTMENT DISPATCHES. ‘The following are the copies of telegrams ex- changed between Mr. Stevens, United States minister to the Hawaiian Island, and the Sec- retary of state in connection with the establish- ment of a provisional government in those islands: Dated United States iegation, Honolulu, January 28, 1893, and telegraphed from Sau Francisco, January 28, to Hon, John W.

Foster. THE LANDING OF TROOPS, An officer of the State Department said to- day: “The landing of foreign troops on the Hawaiian Islands in connection with civil dis- turbances has taken, place on several occa- sions, ‘On the announce:nent of the election of Kala- kaua by the Hawaiian legislative assembly on February 12, 1874, rioters took possession of the court House and other public buildings in Honolulu and began to sack them. At the request of the king-elect and the Minister of Foreign — Affairs Bishop troops were landed from the United States vessels in port and took possession of the court house and the grounds surrounding the same. ‘The greater part of the mob dispersed, but some were arrested by the deputy sberiff, assisted by United States oficers end men. On the “night of the 12th some two or three shots. wore discharged at the American guard, which the guard returned without any damage befng done. The United States troops remained on shoae till the 20th, nearly eight days, and were withdrawn upon notice trem the minister of foreign affairs that their presence on shore was no longer needed. Anarmed forco was also landed from the British naval vessel present, but did not reach the court house grounds until some time alter the United Stetes forces had taken possession of the place. ‘The nited States minister stated that be was fidentin the belief that no request was originally made by the native anthoritics for the assistance of the English armed force-” The English troops were withdrawn at the same time as the Americans, On July 30, 1839, an attempt was made by about one hundred’ half-caste natives to over- throw tho government and depose the king. The insurrection was suppressed by the govern- ment without foreign aid and order was restored on the same day. Men from the U. 8. Adams, the only naval vessel in port, were, however, landed by permission to protect lives and property if necessary ENGLAND RECOGNIZED TRE NEW GOVERNMENT. ‘The most important development in the He- waiian matter today is the official annonnce- ment that ail governments, including Great Britain, have recognized the provisional govern- mentof Hawaii, Ithas heretofore been supposed that the British government has withheld any recognition of the new government in Hawaii, but that this is not the ease was admitted today toa Stan reporter by Secretary of State Foster and Secretary Tracy. ‘THEIR POWERS RECOGNIZED, While it is imposeible to obtain an offi- cial admission to that effect it is known that the commissioners from Hawaii have been officially recognized as having full power to negotiate a treaty with the United Stetes, The provisional govern- ment of Hawaii having been formally recog- nized by the United States minister there is no question that the commission — acered- ited by it to the United States on a special mission is fully empowered to conduct the necessary negotiations. Section J. W. Foster hada short interview with the President this morning before he received the commissioners and was fully advised as to the course to pursue in his conferences with the commissioners in advance of their oficial reep- tion by the chief executive. SIR JULIAN PAUNCEFOTE’S CALL. Soon after the commission left the State De- partment this morning Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British minister, called there, and is visit just at that time occasioned rable comment in view of the that the Britich government is isposed to consent to the acquisition of by any other country. He did not see the Secretary, however, and, in fact, made no effort today. ‘His visit was to Assistant Secre- tary Wharton, and after he had left that gentle- man said it related entirely to a private matter and had no reference to the Hawaiian question.

He asked unanimous consent that the consideration of House bills on the calendar be continued in the morning hour on Monday and that the quarantine bill shall not be sub- ject to objection. ‘Mr. Frye (Me.) suggested as an objection that Yr. Hill had given notice that be would move to take up the bill to repeal the Sherman act in the morning hour of Monday. ‘Mr, Cockrell—-That only involves «vote. It is not a debateable motion. Mr. Teller suggested significantly that if Mr. Hill's motion should prevail and the silver bili be taken up, that would be the last of the quar- antine bill at this session. He was quite indiffer- ent whether the motion would be made m the morning hour or at another time.
