Tli in move is entirely unexpected.
Al'ttit a week ago Dr. Anderson,
ISt i rotary of the Corporation, admit
t"l that he had received a letter from
Ir. Andrews renewing his resigna
lion. This was believed to be an
swt r to the request of that body made
at iM meting September 1, request
inu' ir. Andrews to withdraw his res
intuition. Secretory Anderson an
nouoced he would issue a notice for
a mt tting for a time which seemed
most convenient for the purpose of
eWtinganew President or a tern
porary one.
This was taken to mean that Dr
Andrews had finally decided to tak9
marge or another educational insti
t ut ion. Not even the most hopefu
or ue. Andrews' friends seemed to
expect that there would be any other
result.
uissaia mat uc. Andrews was
closeted all this afternoon with
commiuee, approach to which was
carefully guarded.
The students appointed a delega
tion to wait on the President and to
ask him to address them from the
steps of his residence. Dr. Andrews
thanked, the students for their inter
est in him, but declined to say any
thing, reserving until Chapel to mor
row morning whatever of importance
ii to be announced.

Judge Cox's decision was an elab

held at the outset that it was not in
the power of a court of equity to
grant relief in matters of appoint

taking up the merits of the case, sta
ted that it was settled law that the
power cf removal wssan incident to
the power of appointment, and that
both could be exercised by the head
of a department in reference to sub
ordinate officials. Concerning the
civil service law, Judge Cox held
that it must not be construed to
grant authority, either to the civil
service commission or to the Presi
dent, to make rules contrary to the

ter. He quoted with approval the
decision of Justice Brewer that Con

Indianapolis, Ind , Sept. 15.
Governor Mount has sent the follow
ing to the Sheriff of Ripley County:
'Wire me at once the particulars
of lynching that has occurred in
your county. 1 further direct that
you proceed immediately, with all
the power you can command, to
bring to justice all parties guilty of
participttion in the murder of the

ed. Such lawlessness is intolerable,
and all the power of the State, if
necessary, will be vigorously em
ployed for the arrest and punish
ment of all parties implicated.
"James A. Mount, Governor '
The hanging caused such a sensa
tion in the city that it readily spread
throughout the country, and no oc
casion ever attracted such crowds
to the city. For years Southern In
diana has been afflicted with lawless
gangs. The railways and express
ccmpanies broke up the depredations
of these gangs along their lines and
latterly they have preyed upon the
citizens. The citiz9ns have taken
the law into theii own hands in th's
locality before, but never to such an
extent as to-day. The Reno broth
ers were lynched together at Sey
mour, Ind., twenty years ago, and
the Meyer gang, three in number,
were strung up together at Shoals,
Ind., twelve years ago. There have
been numerous lynchings of one at
a time, but the "job lot" of five to
day breaks the record.

and Gaines, of Tennessee. It was
state d at thehearingthat the iron ns d

making armor plate was brought to
a great extent from the South at the
low price of $5 40 to $5.70 rx r ton.
It was argued, also, that an inland
armor factory in the 8 juth would be
more secure 1 rom attack incase of
war than one near the Atlantic coast
in the North. Letters favorable to
the Southern industry were presented
from Senator Piatt, of New York,
and Stewart; of Nevada, and Senator
Chandler, of New Hampshire. The
delegation filed a written statement
setting forth the many advantages of
the bouth in this particular.
Commodore Howell, president of
the board, called attention to the
fact that the board could not, under
the instructions of the Navy Depart
ment, go into the question of the lo
cality of the site. Representative
Livingston and others made the
point that such information was
what Congress desired, and that the
scope of the boards orders should be
enlarged. Accordingly the delega
tion, accompanied by Commodore
Howell, went before Assistant Sec
retary Roosevelt.
Representative Gaines said, after
the hearing was over: "Mr. Roose
velt gave us decided encouragement.
He said to Commodore Howell that he
wished the armor board to visit the
iron producing sections of the South.
He also said he would recommend to
Secretary Long that the powers of
the board be broadened so that they
could investigate and report on sites
for a plant in addition to their pres
ent duties.
Commodore Howell suggested that
it would be impracticable just now to
interrupt the work of compilation in
which the board was now engaged,
but said that they would undertake a

was completed.

"Unfortunately the present fiscal

auspices as the previous, for the ex
cessive weakness and fluctuations of

their character, have so influenced
the economic situations of the coun

attention of the g jvernment and has
caused the adoption of measures of
prudence, all expenses not absolute

which may have had an influence in
the decline of silver, will be of short

about a favorable reaction. There
is not, therefore for the pres

Bzrlin, Sept. 16. A sensation
has been caused here and elsewhere
by the statement that the Archduke

and that another brother is a trades
man of Aiz-la-Chapelle.
The Local Anzeiger adds: "one is
a former housekeeper of Herr Krupp,
the great iron manufacturer, oi les
