THE ESTABLISHED JUNE 17, 1871. OMAHA, MARCH 4, OMAHA DAILY BEE. o 00ST OF THE UNIVERSITY What the State of Nebraska Expends in Intere .t of Higher Education, ANSWER TO CLAMOR FOR MORE MONEY Persiatency of the Demand for Large Ap- propriations Placed Alongside the Lib- eral Amounts Already Expended to Support the Institution, LINCOLN, March 3.—(Special)—The per- alstence with which the friends of the State university are endeavoring to secure appro- . priative legislation for that institution 1is one of the noteworthy features of the pres- ent session. The energy with which mem- bers, “friendly to the university, but more friendly to the taxpayers, have opposed it 1 equally noteworthy. No subject has come before the house that has provoked more » heated discussion. There have been more contitivations, mere informal caucuses, more canvassing from seat to seat among the members over this matter than over any other subject so far discussed at the present session, The regents asked the legislature for a halft-mill levy for the ensuing two years i for the construction of new buildings. This the house refused to give, but the senate, after limiting the amount to be produced by the levy to $60,000, passed the bill. The senate bill 1s now pending in the house. There is also pending in the house a bill ap- propriating the sum of $80,000, to be de- voted to the completion of the library build- ing. It is to the passage of one of these two bills—possibly both—that the cham- " plons of university enlargement are bending all_their energics. The alumni made a strong showing for themselyes in their annual report to the { governor, Indeed, their showing is so etrong that it borders upon the hysterical. It is liberally punctuated with indignant exclama- tion points and interspersed with sanguinary ) italics. There Is a tinge of pathos In the italicised exclamation that “it is seven vears since a building has been erected upon the campus by legislative grant” There s a Mosaic significance to this reference to seven years of famine. Then the regents assert that “Nebraska has given to its university bulldings just $25,600.” The miserere closes with the mournful assertion that “no other state hae treated ifs university so shabbily \ as to buildings,” and that “today, Nebraska owes the State University $275,000," coupled with the threat that “in’ part, at least, this debt must be paid at once, or It will be necessary next year to cut down the en- rollment arbitrarily to §00.” This proclamation Is signed by four citizens of Lincoln, Judge Field, dward P. Holmes, Henry H. Wilson and Sam D. Cox, the latter being a reporter on the Daily State Journal. ( NEBRASKA AND HIGHER EDUCATION. It may be safely assumed that the people of Nebraska are as keenly alive to the in- terests of higher education, that they are as progressive in thelr desire to keep pace with modern educational advancement, that they hold as much pride in their state uni- versity as any people in the great midwest contingent of states. But, on the other hand, they are not in condition to tax them- » selves out of house and home for collegiate - education. The University of Nebraska was opened in 1871, and since that time up to and in- cluding the appropriation of 1893, has cost |5 the people of this state $1,89,211. | The University of Towa was established in 1847, but not actually opened as a uni- versity until 1860, and up to and including the appropriation of 1893, has spent $1,045,- 733, And lowa has double the population and three times the taxable wealth of Ne- braska. The University of Towa has maintained, in addition to its literary and scientific cur- riculum, a college of medicine and a college of law for nearly twenty years. The University of Nebraska, which, since 1871, has spent $1303,211, has graduated up to the present time 438 students. The University of Iowa, which, since 1860 has spent $1,045,733, has graduated 8,725 students. Since its foundation it has cost the Univer- sity of Nebraska $3,050 for each student grad- uated, Since its foundation in 1860 it has cost the University of Iowa $280 for each student graduated. A comparison of these figures will tell the story of the past extravagant management of the Nebraska university. Had the re- gents of the Nebraska university conserved thelr funds for the past twenty years, in- k stead of expending large sums in sido shows and kindergartens, there would today be in the university treasury a sum sufficient R to bulld several of the buildings now o 1 urgently needed. The following tabulated statement shows the number of students in the University of Nebraska for cach biennium, together with the_ legislative appropriation” for the bien- nium corresponding: Year.

CITY OF MEXICO, March 3.—Many brujsed and wounded passengers continue to arrive in this city from the teriblo wreck on the Interoceanic railway. Many of the wounded and bleeding were brought into, the city in the relief trian, but hundreds of those able to walk made the attempt to reach shelter in the surrounding villages and strung out on the way to the capital in a pitiable procession. Many fell by the wayside and were afterward picked up more dead than alive by other relief trains which followed at intervals. Hundreds are still camped at the ecene, siting around small fires kindled from the wreckage. Bleeding pilgrims are also camped at places more distant from the disaster and others are cared for by the hospital people of Los Ries, Comania and Ayotla, Just what the mortality ls it is impossible as yet to say. It is exceedingly probable that within the next few days more bodies will be found in the secluded spots in the viclnity of the wreck. Many, thinking they were strong enough to walk the twenty-two miles Into the city, made the attempt. Overcome by weakness, they sank down by the dozen, and a few have been found dead where they fell, The military hospital in the City of Mex- ico, where the wounded were conveyed from the relief trians by order of President Diaz, still echo with the groans of the dying and the delirious muterings of many unfortnu- ates. Death occasionally comes as a re- lief. The Universal newspaper makes seri- ous charges against Nuffer, the American enginer, who is held by many to be responsi- ble for the accident. Nuffer is now in prison and will probably receive a long sentence unless later developments throw a different light on the affair and materially changes public sentiment, Numerous suits for prepared against relatives of tho: wreck.

LONDON, March 4.—A dispatch to the Daily News from Constantinople says the situation of the missionarles of the American Board of Foreign misslons at Marisch is critical. The governor of' Aleppo has ac- cused them of insurrectionary designs, and has caused the police to sélze and open all letters, boxes of food and elothing, etc., ad- dressed to them. The governor has repeat- edly declared in public that the misisonaries are Importing arms for use agalnst Moham- medans.

Officials of the railroad say the wreck was caused by the trucks of the tender slipping out of place.

The water continued to rise steadily all Saturday night, and by morning was over the wharves, and had risen nearly to the tracks of the Columbia & Port Deposit railway. This condition of affairs continued until 11 o'clock, when the churches were thronged. Then all of a sudden the ice piled itself up from ten to fifty feet high diagonally across the whole river in a line from the center of Port Deposit to a point below the opposite town of Lapidum. This move was {mmediately followed by rapid rise in the water of six feet or more. Serv- ices in the churches were promptly dis- missed and the people had to take to the hills” to “reach” their homes, as the water was several feet deep in the streets. At 7 o'clock large masses of ice from {en to twenty feet thick broke loose and rushed down the river. But it moved only a quar- ter of a mile and stopped, forming a com- plete gorge across the river, The swollen waters, unable to get through the gorged ice, rushed down the railway (rack of the Crell side, fully five feet higher than at any previous time. People were compelled to run for their lives, and in a few minutes only the places where they had stood were six or more feet under water. It rushed onward at a mighty rate, flooding the ground around the back of the town hall, which is the highest point yet | ery. reached. The town is in a critical condition. Tt is only a question of how long the huge barricade across the entire river will hold. As it is impossible to get from the center of town to the inundated places, no esti- mate of the damage can be made. On account of the breaking of the electric light poles, Fort Deposit is in darkness, BRITISH STEAMER VENTIAN WRECKED Struck Shortly After Leaving Boston and Broke to Pieccs. BOSTON, Mass., March 8.—The British steamer Ventlan of the Furness line, Cap- tain Farrington, from Boston to Liverpool, struck on “lower middle” ledge yesterday afternoon, broke her back about 8 o'clock this morning and Is a total wreck.Two of her crew were badly burned by the burst- ing of a steam pipe as a result of the force of the blow when the steamer struck. A number of cattle and sheep were scalded to death in the same way. The injured are: Isaac Dowell and John Hodges, both Englishmen. The financial loss is estimated at over | par $500,000. The Ventlan struck fairly amid- Bhips, almost directly beneath the engine room, and lay balanced upon the ledge until this morning. Shortly before 8 o'clock those on board were startled by a loud report and the sound of smashing plates and break- ing beams and the stern of the ship sud- denly settled. A jagged crack about a foot wide appeared, running from keel to upper deck, showing’that she had broken in two. Tons of water rushed through the aperture and the vessel was soon flooded to her sec- ond deck. . Willlam' H. Lincoln, agent of the Leyland line, who owns the steamer, has abandoned the' ship to the underwriters, Her cost when bullt, was §300,000. The value of the cargo is estimated at another $300,000. The heaviest shippers were Swift & Co. H. Hammond, and Nelson Morris & Co. of Chi- cago. The crew of forty-nine men have been’ taken off. in SHERIFF NEVER SAW ROBERTSON Negro Murderer Brought Back by # Citizons’ Posse and Lynched.

Business began very promptly with a request from Mr. Jones of Arkansas for the consideration of a bill to approve a compromise and settlement between the United Stafes and the state of Arkansas, Mr, Peffer of Kansas offered an amendment to confine the operation of the bill to issues between the state and the United States, ex- cluding fndividual claims, but before this could be disposed of, Mr. Call of Florida presented the second conference report on the When the vice Indian appropriation bill, showing a disagrees ment upon thres amendments. Upon his motfon, a further conference was ordered, the scnate insisting upon its disagreement. Mr. Gorman of Maryland called up the pending naval appropriation bill and an amendment excepting the Richmond locomo- tive works from penalties incurred in cons nection with the construction of machinery for the Texas was concurred in, Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts interrupted the voting with a motion to table the motion made Saturday by Mr. Brice to reconsider the vote by which the senate concurred in the nhouse amendment to the lottery bill. To do this ha was obliged to displace the naval appropriation bill and the yeas and nays being had it was lost; yeas, 17; nays, 7; and the consfderation of the naval bill was continued. The pending amendment was on reducing from three to two the number of new battle ships to be bullt. Mr, Hansbrough thereupon took the floor and argued that the United States had noth- ing to fear from forelgn nations in the shape of a warlike attack. England had already captured the United States financially; had undercut our cotton spinners and ‘madg $8,000,000 on one bond deal. She would never make war upon a country which was pro ducing such revenue for her, PRESENT APPROPRIATION A BEGIN- NING. Mr. Gorman proposed that debate on the bill run until 5 o'clock, a recess to be taken until 9 o'clock. Some’ arrangement of this Kind was, he said, necessitated by the new plan of printing instead of engrossing all bills, but the proposition meeting with ob- jection, was abandoned by Mr. Gorman. The question recurring on the battleship amendment, Mr. Gorman proceeded to ex- plain what he denominated the most import- ant provision in the bill. Although the pres- ent appropriation for these ships was but $5,000,000 the government would, he sald, be obligated for a total debt of $14,000,000 including these ships and their armament. Taken altogether the provision reported by the senate committteo was the most liberal ever made for the navy. It was too liberal in his belief, having regard to the condition of the treasury and the fact that every business house was economizing. Naval officers themselves were divided as to tho propriety of building so many battle ships. Several such ships were now under construction, none in actual eervice, and no one knew their qualities. Tho introduc- tion of nickel and hardened armor had revo- lutionized the plan of ships and it was not wise to go too fast, for in five years some genius might develop the art of construction to apoint where these ships would be antl- quated. There was need of small sheathed gunboats for service in the south; vessels in- expensive to run and not obliged to go into dry dock every few months, When the treasury was overflowing we had made liberal apprepriations for a new navy and had built some splendid boats. Yet we reduced reve- nues, and the appropriations for the navy had steadily increased until this bill came to the senate with a total appropriation of about $31,000,000. The scnate commitiee had re- duced this to what was still a liberal ap- propriation and he appealed to the senate to support the commititee, for there was no possibility of paying for these three ships without selling more bonds or using the proceeds of those already sold. He knew, he sald, that two great firms, Carnegle and Bethlehem, had taken great risk at the instance of Secretarys Whitney and Tracey in investing millions in naval steel plants and he appreciated the fact that they had not yet been recouped. But what the senate committtee recommended was all that could be prudently done at this time. Mr. Hunfon of Virglnia hoped the navy would never be made a party issue, He be- lieved the United States wouid expend money for enlarging the navy more cheerfully than for any other purpose. AT LOGGERHEADS ON INDIAN SCHOOLS. At this point Mr, Call of Florida presented tho third conference report on the Indian ap- propriation bill, again a disagreement on two items, one touching contract schools, and the other relating to the Ogden (N. Y.) Land com- pany purchase, and a further conference was ordered. Mr. Lodge argued in favor of three battl ships provided for by the house, Russia with a small fleet of battlo ships in Japanese waters today could dominate tho victorious fleet of Japancse cruisers. Mr. Lodge paid & high compliment in the course of his remarks to Senator Chandler, whom he described as the pioneer of our new navy, a man who had broken down old and vicious practices, r pairingy of 014 wooden hulks, bad administri tion and other abuses, and had started to build the first stecl ships. We should not confing our apprehensions as to war to Great Britain. A new star had arisen In the east and the remarkable prowess and achlevements of the Japanese ficet had aroused (he Keenest interest among students of national affalrs, Today Japan was the greatest enemy England had to face, Tho best guarantee of peace was the possession of a fleet by the United States so strong numerically as (o ensure our Buccess, Mr, Higgins of Delaware made an earnest plea for & considerable extension of the navy, both from considerations of national pride and security, and from its beneficlal effect upon our forcign commerce.

M Proctor of Vermont tovk occasion to say a few words in support of land defenses as opposed to ships from the point of econ- omy. The perfection of dynawmite and other high explosives was destined to work « great revolution in naval affairs, An American | ventor would soon devise means to propel against warships secking to attack = forts charges of dynamito large enough to destroy them with certainty. He belleved the com mittes had acted very wisely in reducing the number of projected battleships. Mr. Mitchell of Wisconsin sald Great Brit- aln was tho only nation that could come up with us fairly in @ naval test. Our navy was today stronger than it had ever been save in Ume of actual war. We had now forty-nine ships almost complete, some of them the best of their class in the world. We ought not to go on lavishing millions ou these great hulks of battleships for the purpose of making #-show. This proposition was driven forward by the iron and steel interests, backed by fingolim and stimulated by magazine artls oles representing the bombardment and des struction of our coast cities, A further rela
