Nov." 15.— The Impression'ex ists in most European capitals that the ill ness cf Emperor Nicholas Is more serious than it is reported to be. but this' is probably based upon the knowledge , that the Czar's constitution Is not strong and is little likely to resist a serious attack.' poison administered by nihilists in food prepared In the Imperial kitchen. Poison was given in email doses, which has pro duced typhus symptoms. The fact that the physicians cannot check the disease has led to the belief that the poison con tinues to be given the patient daily. The theory is that. the poisoner is some one high In Imperial favor. The entire house hold is under the direction of the Secret Service, and the; Czar's food is prepared under the eyes of his supposedly closest friends. For this reason It has been Im possible to^ trace the crime to Its source. VIENNA. Nov.

" : "The person who gave us this Informa tion makes a still graver statement, which we publish under all reserve. He says: "This affair Is connected with the sud den departure for Gibraltar of an officer of the United States navy, who was em ployed in the foreign section of the exhi bition, after having fulfilled his functions as naval attache at the embassy. The field gun incident was also : the cause of the sudden handing over of the affairs of the embassy to the first secretary by General Horace Porter and his departure for Spain. The former naval attache in ques tion, who was born of British parents and devoted above all to the embassy in the Faubourg Saint Honore, acted almost openly as a spy for several powers. PARIS, Nov. 15. — The following extraor dinary statement Is given prominence in an evening paper— La Presse: "A person age who claims to be thoroughly acquaint ed with what is going on behind the scenes in the matter of the dlvulgence of the secrets of the latest French field gun to the United States makes the following statement: There Is no doubt that the publication of the Information respecting the French gun will greatly impair the usefulness of American military and naval attaches abroad. Foreign attaches In Washington are now given. more Information than American officers can get abroad. A well- Informed officer said to-day he had no doubt that the details of the mechanism of the French field gun were known In every European ordnance office. WASHINGTON.

The British Gov ernment was represented by the late Lord Herschel, formtr. Chancellor of the Ex chequer. But his death shortly after the last adjournment leaves a vacancy, and, although ro appointment has been made, the name of Lord • AK - erstone, better known as Sir Richard "Webster, Is being mentioned. Sir Wilfrid Laurier of Canada heads the Canadian representation, with Sir Louis Davler, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, and the Premier of Newfound land among his associates. Senator C. W.

Progress has been made on some of these questions, and a practical agree ment reached on several of them. But In each case the settlement was dependent on a disposal of all of them. "With the prospects of omitting Alaska from the points involved, the chances of reaching a treaty agreement on the other points will be materially improved.

WASHINGTON'. Nov. 15.— Steps have been taken for resuming the important work of the Antjlo - American Commission. made up of representatives of the United States. Great Britain and Can ada. an-J consideration of the subject now in progress probably ¦will determine within a few days whet course will be pursued. Correspondence has passed recently be tween Ottawa and "Washington relative to resuming the work and. now that the e'.f-ctiot.s en bcth sides of the border are over, there is felt to ."» more time and op portunity to devote to the serious ques tions involved before this commission. It is understood that the American Commis sioners desire to remove the possibility of ruch ineffectual results as occurred at th<?!r last Pitting. The Indications are that this can be done through the co-operation of the State Derartmont by omitting the Alaskan boundary question from tho«e to be considered, thus removir.gr the chief ob starle to rr°?rress. On the Alaska question the commission was practically deedloeked. and It made no report of progress on other questions, because of the Inability to Include this question. Since then, however, a modus Vivendi on Alaska has been agreed upon, and vhllo this iacks permanency It is felt that the question can be best left to direct negotiation between the two governments. thus r^rmittlPK the commission to pro ceed with the nr.any other important ques tions Involved. What arrangement can be rrafie In this particular will depend upon the conferences now going on. The pur pose of the commission Is to frame a new treaty between the United States and Great Britain covering the various questions arising along the Canadian bor der, and thus disposing of a wide range of controversy. The questions before the eorr.mlsi-Jon are of long standing, and In clude the establishment of the boundary between Alaska and British Columbia; the Jf-sues over Bering: Sea and the catch of fur seals; the unmarked boundary be tween Canada and the United States near PasFamaquoddy Bay in Maine and at points between Maine and Minnesota and seriously. Five passengers are missing. The list of killed includes J. . F. Cano vera, Peruvian Minister to France, and an attache of. the Peruvian legation at Madrid. The section of the line where the acci dent occurred is under repair, and the derailment is attributed to the great ppeed of the express. BAYONNE, France, Nov. 16.— The Southern express was derailed at noon to-day between St. Georges and Saubusse, near Dax, about thirty-three miles northeast of Bayonne.

'¦*•'* THIRTEEN PASSENGERS KILLED IN A DISASTER To-night Dr. Ross has no further state ment to make nor has he anything to re cant. He still stands by his original statement and says that It covers every thing he had to say. As to the future h« has no definite plans, except that he will continue his work In sociology wherever he may be called. , To-day the members of Dr. Ross' sem inary, which is composed of the fourth year students in the economies depart ment, drew up a strong testimonial, in which they expressed their sincere regret in the loss of Dr. Ross. They paid a glow ing tribute to his character and personal worth, as well as to his ability as a teacher and investigator. i — ¦ijhiii "line 1 "iH# ¦ ~W~*lirf»W To-night, while he is as firm as ever in his championship of the right of Intellect ual freedom, he sees more clearly the po sition of Mrs. Stanford upon the matter. "When told of the current report that n» would resign his "position because of Dr. Ross' dismissal, he denied It flatly, say ing that he had no such intention. Ho will remain at Stanford. Another thing, which shows that the general attitude toward Mrs. Stanford is changing is Dr. Howard's position to night. This morning. Instead of delivering his regular lecture, In his French Revolu tion class on' Voltaire, he spoke upon the presence of bigotry and intolerance at the present time, claiming that the example of Dr. Ross .was parallel to that of Vol taire. . The fact that Dr. Ross was eminent in his science did not solace her wounds. Other professors In the Stanford faculty have spoken as freely on public question* as has Dr. Ross, but not one word of dis approval has she raised. As In her state ment to President Jordan In the letter written from Geneva, October 2S. she says that she -has tried even prayerfully to forgive Dr. Ross, but that she could not, therefore It was best that he should go. This letter was received by President Jor dan on November 12. Just three days ago. The same day he notified Dr. Ross that he would accept his resignation. It will thus be seen that there was no delay in accept ing the resignation until after the election. for political effect, as the letter which de termined Dr. Jordan's action did not reach here until six days after the elec tion had been held. "When it is considered that Mrs. Stan ford is a woman of Intense feeling and al most ultra sensitive as to reflections upon the memory and honor of her dead husband it can readily be seen why she should object to Dr. Ross' presence on her faculty. How ever, she was Inclined to be generous with him. A year's leave of absence, with full pay, was at his disposal while he might be on the hunt for a new position. It was not a Question of free speech or Intel lectual bondage with her. She had been offended by what she could not believe to be otherwise than direct attacks upon her husband's memory. It develops that her real objection to Dr. Roes' lecture upon Asiatic immigration was not due to the fact that she differed from him In his conclusions, which. It is sa!d. she does not. but because she was led to the belief by false reports and state ments, that seemed credible, that he had made a covert attack upon the Senator, whose memory she feels should be In violable. Mrs. Stanford Is aware of the fact that other professors at the university have expressed similar views under similar cir cumstances. The personal reasons for Dr. Ross' dismissal consist In part of what she interpreted as derogatory refer ences to Senator Stanford. Some oqe rep resented to Mrs. Stanford that Dr. Ross had frequently In the classroom jharac terlzed the Southern Pacific Railroad deals as "railroad steals," and otturwiaa held Senator Stanford up as a dangerous example before the business world appears that none of these offenses con stitute the real motive for Professor Rosa* dismissal.

In my original statement, .which warn carefully prepared and In strictly correct, I said I have loner been aware that my every appear ance In public drew npon. me the hostile mention of certain powerful persons and interests In .

To-night sentiment at the university seems to be gradually changing. Not that Dr. Ross is being condemned, but there is a growing sentiment of sympathy ta Mrs. Stanford.' This change Is due in a great measure to the opinion among tte Stanford alumni, or especially those who were here when 'the first signs of friction between Mrs. Stanford and Professor Ross arose four years ago. From state ments made by the alumni it Is 'earned that' Mrs. Stanford considered the expres sion pt Dr. Ross" political views from the stump in the campaign of lS9b a violation of the university rule that members of the faculty should not take part In ai;y partisan" discussion.

"I do not bow down to Saint Market street. I do not doff my hat to the Six Companies. Neither am I afraid of the Standard Oil." — Excsrpt from a sensational address delivered yesterday by Pro fessor George E. Howard to students of Stanford University. -» : Sheriff Jones, however, agreed to keep the prisoner for ten days, and Porter was rushed through the mob to the County Jail before the gathered crowd realized what was being done. Sheriff Freeman paid that District Attorney McAllistf r had threatened to hold him on a charge of murder if the negro were *aken from his custody and lynched. He was told that as he had a warrant for Porter the Dis trict Attorney had no authority to Inter fere to prevent him from serving 5t and taking his prisoner to Hugo Jail. Free man, however, v.as afraid to act. When the father of Louise Frost heard of Freeman's decision he sought out the Sheriff and cursed him fiercely. Mr. Frost Is now under the care of friends. All his composure Is gone and the thought that vengeance may not be meted out to his child's murderer has driven him tempor arily Insane. At Llmon to-night a mass-meeting of citizens voted unanimously that it was the duty of Sheriff Freeman to his con stituents to bring the negro back, and the resolution was telegraphed to him. Seventy-five leading citizens of Lincoln County wired Governor Thomas, who is the head of the police power of Denver, that they proposed simply to tie a rope around Porter's neck and to drop him off the railroad bridge. They "promised that there would be no atrocities, and demand ed, the sending of the negro, naively add ing: "Please send on to-night's train, as we want to go home. .Will' wait ten days if necessary." Young Porter sent two notes this after noon to Police Surceon Miller. One of them read. "I am guilty, but offel sorry," and the other. "Please pray for me." "There Is nothing for .me to do." *ald Governor Thomas to-day when asked if he would interfere to prevent the proposed lynching. "The civil authorities have the prisoner and it lies with them to protect him." JOHN PORTER, THE NEGRO WHO HAS CONFESSED THE BRUTAL MURDER AT LIMON. COLO.. OF LOUISE FROST. A LITTLE WHITE GIRL. AND HIS FATHER AND BROTHER. WHO WERE ALSO HELD FOR COM PLICITY IN THE FIENDISH CRIME. - "I do not bow down to Saint Market street. I do^rfot doff my hat to the Six Companies. Neither am I afraid of the Standard Oil." These words, startling and radical, were greeted by tremendous applause from the listening students, and the incident has been ever since the subject of excited comment. The excitement over the main incident of which this is a development is. however, dying out. The first thought of the student body to hold some sort of a demonstration to express regret and in dignation at the retirement of -Professor Ross has been abandoned. The faculty will, as a matter, of course, take no ac tion, and as far as university opinion is concerned the incident seems to be closed. The more conservative students feel that only added harm to the university can come from further agitation and discus sion, and there is a general disposition to let the matter drop. The student body It Is expected 'will, however, present to Pro fessor Ross a testimonial of Us good will before he leaves Palo Alto. In the present controversy, created by the enforced resignation of Professor Rcss, much interest attaches to the ques tion whether or. not Mrs. Stanford has the legal right, under the terms of the endowment of Stanford University, to dic tate absolutely her opinions of the char acter and scope of the Intellectual field "of the great school. By the terms of the endowment of the institution; the sole management of the university and its properties is vested In the grantors during their lives, or tho life of either of them. This provision assevers the problem. Mrs. Stanford has absolute ly the right to do as she pleases with the institution at Palo Alto. The trustees of the university are powerless to act in any vital matter until the death of Mrs. Stan ford. Eventually the entire management of the institution will be In their hands; at present it is exclusively under the con trol of Mrs. Stanford. To President Jordan,' however, practical control of the educational features of the institution was given by the late Senator Stanford and by Mrs. Stanford. President Jordan was given power to choose his as sociates; to! hold them responsible for their educational work. To him was given the right to dismiss these men. The res ignation ot a professor., forced by Mrs. Stanford and not by. President Jordan, has necessarily excited considerable com ment, more particularly by the fact that President Jordan announces his complete confidence" In ¦ the man who has been forced to retire from the university. In an authorized description of Stanford University the following I b said: "What characterizes Stanford is that, finding it self untrammeled by the limitations, the vested rights, the ultra-conservative in fluences which surround the older col leges and universities, tt has had the cour age, perhaps temerity, to follow out cer tain lines of educational progress further than has ever been done before." : In the - llfflit of the prenent con troTeriy these vordx have a pe culiar »onnd.

Nov. 15. (^^. — New fire was added to-day to the of agitation which Is sweep- over the university, involving ' the faculty and student body alike, because of the forced resignation of Pro fessor Ross. It seemed until this morning that all had been. said in reference to the matter, but Professor George E. Howard has added new words to the bitterness of the affair, and the entire college commu nity Is discussing what the outcome of his position will be. Professor Howard is a close personal friend ...of, .. Professor Ross. Both have .shared the same independence and the in tellectual radicalism which have brought such a storm around the university. "When Professor Ross" resignation was an nounced Professor Howard was outspoken in his censure of the conditions which had forced hla friend out of the university. He was one of the lew members of the facul ty here who accepted the opportunity and the consequences of speaking his opinions and to-day he supplemented his remarks by a performance which is without paral lel in the history of Stanford. Professor Howard is the head of the department of history. of the university and this irornlnj: he gave up his custom ary lecture ami devoted himself to a dis cussion of the Koss incident. He declared that Professor Ross was a martyr to a principle which cannot be sacrificed, and that his forced retirement from the uni versity will work immeasurable evil to the institution. He declared that in the retire ment of Professor Ross a serious blow had been struck the freedom of speech and the consequences must be as far reaching es they.are deplorable..
