COLUMBIAN’S ALUMNI They Testify to Their Interest in Their Alma Mater. AN IMPORPANT BUSINESS MEETING Subscriptions to the Fund Desired by Dr. Whitman. LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS The graduates of Columbian University testified their fove for their alma mater last evening by subscribing over $10,000 to the fund of $75,000 that must be raised by next Monday if Dr. Whitman of Colby ts to be the next president of Columbian. Other sulscriptions were made to the fund, and announced at the meeting, that ralsed the grand total to date to $18,100. The meeting was attended by several hundred alumul of both sexes. Fully half a hundred ladies were present, taking a deep interest in the proceedings. President J. H. Wilson called the meeting to order after prayer had been offered by Rev. Dr. Gram- mar of Baltimore, shortly after 8 o'clock. Among those who occupted seats on the platform were Postmaster General Wilson, Justice Harlan of the United States Su- preme Court, Mr. Gardiner Hubbard, Gen. A, W. Greely, Rev. Dr. Grammar, Mr. S. W. Woodward, Dr. Theodore Gill, Treas- urer Martin and several members of the faculty of the university. President Wil- gon said that the alumni had never before been called together on such important business. He went on to speak of the ex- ceptional advantages offered by this city as the site of a great national university and asked the question: “Shall ‘Columbian, which has pre-empted this field, and has ecrned the title to it by years of possession, go forward in the fulfillment of the great undertaking, or shall it allow some other enterprise to come into the District and build up the great institution that is des- tined to be grown here? He said that Co- Ivmblan is no beggar, and that her affairs are today in better shape than ever before, both fn the matter of money and educa- tional success. The Simple Problem. The problem, said Mr. Wilson, was sim- ple. Dr. Whitman has seen the great pos- sitilities of the field thus opened to him, but he is unwilling to undertake the reeponsibility of the presidency without a fund from which to draw for five years to build up the collegiate’ department, which is the backbone of the whole institution. There are two sources ,of revenue in such an emergency, the trustees and members of the corporation on the one hand, and the alumni on the other. The trustees had al- reedy subscribed about $40,000 of the $75,000 required,and they now looked to the alumni to do their share. It was a great oppor- tunity for the graduates. Rev. Dr. Greene's Remarks. Rev. Dr. Greene explained still further the needs of the case, He declared that the day of the alumni had come, and spoke briefly of the glorious recor] of the uni- versity. But, however proud Columbian might justly be of her past, she cannot af- ford to depend altogether upon her record, for progress is the watchworl of the day, and the educational institution that aspires to attain and to hold prominence in the world of learning must be forever at work, widening its field and increasing its means. He spoke of the year’s search for a succes- sor to Dr. Welling, and told how gladly the committee had at last centered on Dr. | Whitman, president of Colby University, in Maine. The mention of the name of the prospective president of Columbian evoked senerous applaus2, Dr. Greene went on to say that he had received telezrams from a number of noted educators in different parts of the country since the announce- ment of Dr. Whitman's selection was made congratulating im and the university upon the choice. Dr. Whitman, he sald, is fully aware of all the facts in the case, He and the trus- tees recognized the need of a reorzant tion of the college and the university. Dr. | Whitman has told the trustees that he is | ready to assume the charge if the people of Washington believe sufliciently in the | university to make a reasonable subscrip- | tion to a fund with which he proposes _to strengthen the collegiate department. He wants to know what kind of men are on the beard of trustees, and what kind of men have been graduated from the unt- versity. In other words, what kind of men gre to be behind him when he takes the wheel. Columbian's Future. Mr. Wm. L. Wilson, Postmaster Gen- eral of the United States, a graduate of the university, and at one time a member of its faculty, then spoke briefly of the fu- ture that is before Columbian, endowed as she is with opportunities that can be given no other institutions in the country unless they are located in the midst of the facil- ities afforded by the seat of government. A great university, he sald, is not made up of large and beautiful buildings, of fine li- braries, but of a corps of the best teachers: and Mr. Wilson told how, here at Wash- ington, there are some of the best instruc- tors In the various branches of learning that can be found anywhere in the country or the world. Columbian, he declared, has a@ great future assured, If only because of the fact that she has lived for seventy-five years, and has overcome obstacles in that time that would check the course of any in- stitution but one destined to become a &reat power. The sum of $95,000 a year, he said, is a pitiful, beggarly sum, when compared wita the great good that can be done with it, and especially in the light of the present emergency. It ts particularly small when compared with the enormous endowments of some of the other universities of the country. Harvard has an income of three- quarters of, a million dollars annually, and yet, after each year, she passes the hat around among her alumni and raises about one hundred thousand more to bal- ance up the year’s expenditures. There is not one of the great universities that does not spend more than $15,004) every year on the improvement of single depart- ments. Mr. Wilson spoke of President Whitman as one who infused others whom he met with belief in him and in his power for success, and who instilled enthusiasm into them. He believed that he would prove the right- man for the place. A Series of Resolutions. ‘The Postmaster General then read a se- ries of resolutions that, he sal}, had been handed to him by a committee. They ex- pressed approval of the selection of Mr. Whitman and of the plan to raise 375,000 as a new college endowment, and pledged to President Whitman the enthusiastic support of the alumni in his efforts to up- build the university. In the course of th resolutiens the phrase “golden opportunity’ curred. Mr, Wilson hesitated as he read this, and, turning to Dr. Greene with a quizical smile, asked: “Shall I say “gold and silver opportunity?’ I do not want to rule anybody out from subscribing, you know.” This raised a weneral laugh, and paved the way to a generous acceptance of this platform of bime' reso) ism later by the gradua The were unanimously adopted, and Dr, Grammar made a short talk, some- what reminiscent of the old days of Co- lumbian and of the attainments and achievements of the late President Well- ing. He spoke especiaily of the splendid opportunities afforded today to wealthy men for the achieving of everlasting fame by the endowment of Institutions of iexrn- ing, and alluded with enthusiasm to the good works of the late Mr. W. Corco- ran, who gave so Hberally to Columbian. Getting Down to Business. This brought the meeting down to the serious business of recelving subscriptions and Treasurer Martin read a list of the sums already pledged, which have been published in The Star, gating some- thing like $27,000, from the members of the corporation, the tr es and other officers and friends of the university. In addition to this the sum of $5,000 has been pledged by Rey. Dr. Eilis in Brooklyn and @ similar sum by Kev. Dr. Morehead in New York, bringing the subscriptions al- Teady acknowledged up to about $37,000. Dr. Greene announced that that left about $28,000 to be ratsed before Dr. Whitman would undertake the presidency of the university. He is between two offers. His own institution, Colby, wants him to re- turn for another season, and he must know the ultimatum of Columbian goon, as he must take one or the other. So, if the university wants the man she must speak at once. The acting president then peused to give the people a chance to make their offers. Treasurer Martin said that Dr. Shute, dean ‘of the medical faculty, had an announcement to make. Dr. Shute said that at a meeting of the faculty of the medical department held last evening it Was unanimously voted thai the members of the faculty shouid pledge themselves to contribute $500 annually to the new fund for five years, this meaning a total sub- scription of $2,500 toward the $75,000 need- ed. Dr. Shute went on to describe how poorly the medical school is provided for, having no endowment, and being sustained solely by the tuition fees of the students. The faculty, he added, hav2 assumed the payment of abont $1,000 interest on a sink- ing fund annually, and contgmplate mak- ing other subscriptions to the good of the school, but the members were,eager to do this service to the university. This an- mouncement was received’ with great en- thusiasm. i Some Generous Amounts. Mr. Martin added to the spirit of generos- ity that was taking possession of the au- dience by saying that Justice Cox of the District Supreme Court and a member of the law faculty had agreed to give $100 annually for five years, making a total contribution of $500. He likewise announced that another member of the law faculty, who modestly destred that his name should be kept a secret, would give a similar amount. It was one of the conditions of the gift that his name be not published. Next arose Dr. Theolore Gill from his plec® on the platform with the simple an> Rouncement that he would give $id) to the fund. Mr. Wilson, president of the Alumni Association, gave an cqual amount, and once more Treasurer Martin came forward with the subscription of « generous man, too modest to allow the use of his name. This time the anonymous con- tributor gave $500, Encouraged by this success Dr. Greene, who had been engineering all the pro- ceedings in the search for funds, appealed to the folks who could not give quite such large amounts. He had not spoken long when Prof. Harry King arose and donated $100. Then Dr. Sterling Ruffin stood in his place in the audience and gave $150. Mr. Gardiner Hubbard's Talk. There was a brief lull in the giving, and Dr. Greene introduced Mr. Hubbard, presi- dent of the board of trustees, who told some matters that Dr. Greene's modesty did not relish. Mr. Hubbard related how in the search for a new head the commit- tee had first held negotiations with the Chicago University for several months, but the plans fortunately, he thought, finally ceme to naught, and then the committee realized that the very man for the place had all the time been acting as president pending the selection of a permanent suc- cessor to Dr. Welling. But Dr. Greene, when arged to accept the presidency, de- clined, on the ground that he did not feel qualified, and that he believed that his duty was to his congregation. So, after some_hard, but unsuccessful, work with Dr. Greene, the committee was forced to go elsewhere, and had finally found in Dr. Whitman the man of all men, after Dr. Greene, to fill the vacant chair. Mr. Hub- tard confessed that he had sort of sneaked in this talk, as he knew Dr. Greene would not have called upon him if he had but known what he was going to say. But he felt that it was due to Dr. Greene that the truth should be known. Some More Subseriptions. By this time the rain was falling hard, and some of the people had left in a hurry in their zeal to avoid getting wet. But the torrent became too severe, and so, as Dr. Greene remarked, the folks were provi- dentialiy bottled up so that they might as well give to the fund as not. One by one the names were added to the list. At last Dr. Greene tried to raise an extra thousand | end called for ten men to give $1) each. He finally had all but one, and then it was announced that an anonymous friend on the platform had agreed to give $250 the moment the tenth hundred was put up, so that the next man who gave $10) virtually presented the university with $550. Mr. George L. Wilkinson s the bidder for this honor, and his hundred practically closed the lists of the opening givers. During the evening the names of: Profs. Sterrett, Munroe, Hodgkins, Gore and Mon- tague, all members of the alumni associa- entered on the lists for $500 unced that in all, t scribed and -Prof. T. Mason was on his fe i a moment with a very pertinent que tion: “What is to he done to get the other $2: TO?" “he asked. Mr. Martin replied that there would be a nmiecting of the soliciting committee of six- teen at the university at 9 o'clock in the morning for the purpose of starting at once the work of raising this deficit. Prof. Mason urged that an effort should be made to interest the younger graduates of the university, who, large sums themselves, might in ders with means. At this Rev mn of Anacostia arose and trat he would be one of twenty men to guarantee to collect a sum of $5,000 before text Monday merning. This declaration was heartily applauded. Must Know by Monday. Prof. Mason was eager to know how long Dr. Whitman would wait before the case should be settled, and he was told that he must be given his reply by next Monday, and Prof. Mason again urged that some- thing be done immediately to interest all the alumni and to make it positively cer- tain that Dr. Whitman would accept the 1. This spirit ad among the younger men present, and one of them went at werk at once among his associates as soon as Mr. Wilson had informally declared the meeting adjourned, and in a few minutes he hastened to the desk, where the treas- urer was poring over the figures,and briefly announced: ‘ “Mr, Martin, here are ten fellows who pledge themselves for $50 apiece, making $500 for the fund.” It was generally believed by those of the trestees who remained on the platform and witnessed this incident that the same spirit would result in a rapid closing of the gap between the funds in hand and the funds desired if it were more widely known hew readily this young canvasser had suc- ceeded in organizing his “block of ten.” List of New Givers.

The appropriations for the same period have: been ; $3,032,953. These facts are pointed out in an Official statement de- tailing the growth of the bureau. The expenditures for the present fiscal year will aggregate $525,000, agairist total ap- propriations of $878,439. The estimated sur- plus for the bureau remaining in the treas- ury July 1 will be $43,439! The average an- nual expense of the service for ten years under the mffitary organization was $024,- G61, and under four years of civil organi- zation, $549,523. Military and Civil Administration. The official statement says: “While the military administration had generally to apply for a deficiency on each vear's dis- bursements, the civilian administration had an average surpius of about $55,700" each year. That this annual surplus is less in the earlier years of the civillan organi- zation ts due to the fact that the service was then undergcing a rapid growth. In the two following years attention was devoted rather to consolidation than to further growth. “The military estimate of the cost of a civilian service made in 1584 by General Hazen was $1,403,930. Thus the bureau has been carried on at a cost of $444,407 less per year than was believed possible by General Hazen, and $77,056 less than the estimate for a perfected military organi- zation, the cost cf which was put at § 'y Administra- 479. During these four years the work of the bureau has been greatly increased. Increase of Wenther Maps. “Perhaps the best index of this increase is the number of weather maps and crop bulletins issued. The aggregaie number of these for the present fiscal year is esti- mated at 00,°0f which 3,629,000 are weather mang and 109,000 the bulletins, The average yearly number of all these ts- sued by the signal service was WwW, and its successor, the weather bureau, 2,1 an increase of 205 per cent.” —_—____—_-o+___ CAPTURED BY GOMEZ. ‘The Spanish Troops Near Puerto Principe Surrender. The most serious news of Spanish 4’ aster received since the outbreak of the re- | bellion reached Havana last evening. The garrisons of two towns have surrendered and the places themselyes have been burn- ed by Maximo Gomez. Firing was heard constantly around Puerto Principe Tuesday night, and extraordinary precautions are being taken to protect that city. Owing to the restrictions placed by the government upon the transmission of tele- graphic nsws concerning the insurrection only the most meager details of the dis- aster to the Spanish arms are obtainable. It appears certain, however, that the gar- rison at El Mulato,'in the province of Puerto Principe afd tapital of the prov- ince, has surrendered to Maximo Gomez. ‘fhe garrison was ¢harge of Lieut. Romero and was quartered in,a strong fort. The place was also provisioned and contained a consideratle stock of ammunition. During the unexplained absence of Lieut. Romero, the fort was surreunded by about om) insurgents under the command of ximo Gom-z. latter message te the garri Mulato announcing that he gav rs fifteen minutes in which to surrentier, with the alternative of being fired upon. by the full insurgent force if they refused to do so.

When the garrison was in the hands of the insurgents Maximo Gomez ordered the village of El Mulato to be burned, and af- ter depriving Lieut. Romero of his arms set him at liberty.

Futile Attempt to Obtain a Ransom for Him. Octavius-O, Cottle, a Buffalo lawyer, was found bound at Black Rock, not far from Butfalo, yesterday morning. He had been there all night. Mr. Cottle’s story is as follows: On Mon- day morning an unknown man drove to his house and told him a man on Che- nango street desired to make a real es- tate deal with him. Mr. Cottle was driv- en to an unoccupied cottage in Baynes street, where, on entering, he was seized by his guide and another man and gagged and bound. Money was demanded, and, under threats, he was compelled to write a note to his wife, saying that he was under arrest in Fort Erie, and asking for $2,500. The man with the buggy drove back to Mr. Cottle’s house with the note and delivered it to Mrs. Cottle, who called upon her son for advice. The latter,went out to confer with the man, who rode away. 2 Mr. Cottle was kept in bondage for two days. He was handcuffed and a dog col- Jar put around his neck and chained to a chair in the cellar. A pitcher of water was put near, so that by stooping he vould reach it, and the only food given him was a few crackers. Here he remained while other efferts to extort money from the Cottle family were made. At length the bandits, fearing perhaps they would be tracked, took Mr. Cottle upstairs to the ground floor of the cot- tage and then disappeared. Here he was found yesterday by a policeman, who heard groans proceeding from within, and, en investigation, discovered the captive. see. -—___—_ t people in Washington ag Coltons-on-the-Potomac Advt. % The most ele; are patro this year.

Fans Satisfied if the Senators Play Like This, if They Do Lose. Thirteen innings were required to decide the game between the Washingtons and Brooklyns at Eastern Park, Brooklyn, yes~ terday. The contest was excellent in every respect. Brooklyn did not make a misplay in the field, while the only error of the game was a fumble by Glasscock in the eleventh inning. Stein and Anderson, the pitchers, stood the strain well, and it was no fault of Anderson's that the home team secured the three hits in the thirteenth inning, which won the game. Two of the hits could have been stopped by quick fielding. The thirteenth Inning was the most ex- citing of the day. The Washingtons got Cartwright as far as third when two were out. Anderson's hit back of shortstop looked good for a base, but Corcoran, after a desperate run, corralled the ball about a foot from the ground. Brooklyn looked like winners in the sey- enth, when they got Griffin on first and none out. Hassamer, however, caught out the next three batters. Score BROOKLYN, |.)

As a result of the improvement made in the form of the Cornell crew their stock is rapidly rising. The Argonaut crew from Toronto have created the best impression among <he ex- pert oarsmen, and the sporting newspapers admit they are far ahead of any four now at Henley. Mr. Courtney is having trouble In training the Cornell crew, as the climate does not suit many of the men from Ithaca. in consequence of the unfavorable climatic conditions there are many. cases of sore throat among the Cornell men as well as among the Canadians, and the latter have been obiiged to move into quarters situat- ed upon higher ground. ‘The Cornell crew are somewhat piqued at the fact that u have not receiged any letters or pupers from the Unlted States since their arrival here.

I be- Heve In real bimetallism, the use of both gold and silver as standard money, but if we must have one metal or the other I would take silver, for we would then ‘at least be independent, instead of being the tall of the English kite and helpless victim of the Rothschilds’ syndicate.” ———_-e-+—___ Centennial of Union College.
