MAY (iHADI ATE IX EXGLISH.
University Diplomat* May Be Printed
in Uncle Sam'f* Tongue.
The university regents at their annual
meeting yesterday decided to reduce the
f-ize of the general college diplomas one
half. The question of whether the
diploma should be printed in Latin or
English was left to the general faculty
with power to act. Five of the regents
voted in favor of the English.
Probably the most Important matter
taken up was the erection of a new
physical laboratory. The last legislature
appropriated $25,000 for the erection of j
this building, and Prof. Jones of the j
department of physics, decided that the
proper place for the building to be lo- !
cated was on the campus in front of the i
engineering building, facing Fifteenth I
avenue.
Owing to the advance in building ma
tt rial the board decided that a suitable
building could not be erected for $25,000
at the present time and that they would
wait until conditions are more favorable,
or until additional appropriations can be
secured for the building.
The question of a chair of physiology
and geography and the appointment of
an assistant in electrical engineering and
certain assistants in pedagogy was re
ferred to the standing committee on such
matters. The recommendations of the
medical department relative to the resig
nation of Dr Dunn from part of his
work and the appointment of Dr. Reed
as demonstrator In anatomy were ap
proved. Dr. Erdmann was appointed to
carry on the work of the chair of anat
omy for the remainder of the year at a
salary of $1,800 a year. No provision
was made for the permanent filling of
the vacancy caused by the death of Dr.
Hendricks.
Dean Liggett, of the farm school, pre-
B.nted the report of the department of
agriculture.
Resolutions of respect and appreciation
of the late Regent Barto were unani

HELPLESS IN A GALE

PERILOUS TRIP IN A YAWL
WlnconNlii, Michigan antl Southern
Minnesota Feellngr the Effects of
a. Heavy Snow Storm With a
DrlvluK Wind—Some of the Trains
Delayed and Others Blocked In-
Mail Train Hoars Late.
DULUTH, Minn., Dec. 12.—The steam
er Dlxon, with twenty-flve persona
aboard, is safe at Two Harbors after
a night's ride in a gale, minus her wheel,
and Gufl Olson and Fred Hector, the
twenty-year-old son of Capt. Hector, of
the steamship, are the heroes of the hour.
The Dixon lost her wheel yesterday aft
ernoon when on her way to Duluth
at about eighty miles down the north
shore. A heavy sea was rolling and a
northwest gale blowing thirty miles an
hour threatened to drive the almost help
less steamer over on the south shore.
Gus Olson is one of the commissioners
of Cook county. He was a passenger
on the Dixon, but well known to Capt.
Hector as a thorough sailor, well ac
quainted with the north shore of Lake
Superior. At Capt. Hector's request Ol
son accompanied three sailors from the
Dixon, Including young Hector and a
passenger named Cavanaugh, in one of I
the boat's yawls. They went ashore and j
rigged up a sail. Olson, Hector and
Cavanaugh then started on a most peril- |
ous journey. The other two refused to j
accompany them. Cavanaugh, too, soon |
weakened, and he was put ashore. Then j
Olson and Hector started on. The yawl
leaked like a basket. Olson was kept
busy bailing and sailing. Hector held
the rudder and it soon broke. He then
used an oar. The sea was rolling moun- '
tainous and the spray froze to the men's j
clothing. They were frost-bitten and j
all but exhausted when they reached
Two Harbors at 1 o'clock this morning,
after having sailed fifty miles since 4
o'clock Monday afternoon. The tug Ed
na G put out at once and she found
the Dixon adrift this morning and towed
her in. •
TRAINS DELAYED.
Milwaukee & Omaha Lines Encoun
tered Most Trouble.
Snowstorms east and south delayed
trains on all the Chicago lines yesterday.
The early morning express trains from
Chicago over both *he Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha and the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul, were affected by
the storm which swept over Southwest
ern Wisconsin, drifts being encountered
near La Crosse and in the vicinity of
Wlnona. The Wisconsin Central trains
! yesterday were also delayed, the Chicago
j express, No. 8, due in tno morning at
8:15, being three-quarters of an hour late,
I and the afternoon train, due at 4:10, ar
riving at 4:35.
Over the lowa and Minnesota division
of the Milwaukee little difficulty was en
countered, and trains ran about on sched
ule. On the river division there were
several delays. Over the eastern division
of the Omaha tracks were comparatively
clear last night, though snow was report,
ed from points on the northern division.
The coast lines have not yet encountered
the annual first blizzard. Both the over
land trains arrived yesterday afternoon
on schedule, and no adverse weather re
ports came in. The Chicago mail on the
Milwaukee, however, struck snow in Wis
consin, and instead of arriving at 3:20,
drew into the union station at 4:45.
The Great Western encountered snow
last night in lowa. The Chicago passen
ger, No. 3, due at 8:30. was half an hour
late. The train crew reported eight inches
of snow at Mclntyre, 10., with a heavy
wind. The Milwaukee day express, due
at 10:15 last night, was an hour late. The
Northern Pacific train and nearly all of
the Chicago limited night trains pulled
out last night equipped with snow plows.
The St. Paul & Duluth night express,
leaving at 11:25, was similarly equipped.

make the thmoroughfares passable.
Hardly a farmer came into the city today
owing to the impassable condition of the
roads.
Interest in Lignite.
PIERRE, S. D., Dec. 12.—(Special.)—
The proposition to utilize the lignite of
this vicinity as a commercial fuel by
capitalists is exciting a great deal of in
terest along the Grand and Moreau rivers
as the deposits are most plentiful in the
vicinity of these streams. Croppings can
be seen on nearly every ridge along the
river valleys. With an ample supply of
lignite in sight, the people in the vicinity
believe it will be a strong inducement for
a new railroad.
It is understood that a party of Eastern
men are to visit this section before the
new year.

cial.)—James M. Foster was laid to rest

THEY ARE CONVINCING
Statement of a Neighbor

There Is nothing so convincing as the
statements of people whom we know and

MINNEAPOLIS MASS MEETING
After Listening: to Addreatieg by
Gov. Lind and Others, It Pajaei
Rettolutiona Favoring Peace In
the Philippines, and EspreMlng
Indorsement of Senator Mason*
Resolution of Sympathy.
Gov. Lind. Howard L. Smith, Henry
J. Fletcher, Rev. H. M. Simmons and
others addressed an audience of 400 at
the Lyceum theater, Minneapolis, last
evenins, assembled under the auspices
of the Anti-imperialistic League of Min
neapolis. The theater was decorated
with American flags.
After considerable delay in opening
the meeting, Henry J. Fletcher, presi
dent of the Anti-imperialistic league,
stated that the occasion was so solemn
and sacred that it was thought proper
to open it by prayer.
Rev. W. B. Riley, of the First Baptist
church, was introduced and prayed In a
thankful strain for all the blessings en
joyed by the American people, for the
beauty of the land, for its freedom, for
its schools and universities, for its
churches and for its religions. He said
in part:
"We pray, O! Lord, for a curse for
everything that brings a blot upon this
fair land of ours, and we ask you.O Lord,
to look upon those institutions behind
which Satan stands. Guide those who
have charge cf our national affairs:
gTiide, O Lord, the president and his
cabinet that his face may be turned
towards Thee. We pray for peace. Give,
we *>ray, that no further action be
taken against those who are weaker than
we."
After the "Star-Spangled Banner" had
been played President Fletcher said that
the Anti-imperialistic league was essen
tially non-partisan, and urged members
of all parties and churches and creeds
to listen to its tenets and to go and teach
them if they found them correct. He
continued:
"Whatever has been the history of the
Philippine or Cuban war in the past, one
thing I am certain of, this great crime
car,not be laid at my door. I dare not
keep silent longer, and unless the present
tendencies are reversed we are in danger
of forgetting the teachings of our father,
and destroying 1 the hope of the world.
"We seem to be heading towards im
perialism. What is an empire? Rome
was an empire and a grand one, that lived
for ages, but it was the apotheosis of
slavery. Ours is different. It is a land
of the free with the principle that a gov
ernment is just by the consent of the
governed.
"There is no people so good, so just
and so pure, that it can keep another na
tion in subjection, and retain its own
liberties. My sympathies go out to the
Filipinos, and I marvel how they are
able to stand up and fight against the
odds that are now confronting them. Shall
we adopt therh or treat them, as cattle.
All that is manly within me revolts at
the idea. The people will soon settle this
question."
Rev. H. M. Simmons, of the First Uni
tarian church, read a paper on the his
tOFical questions involved.
"May God strengthen and nerve the
arm that struggles for freedom, be it
either in the jungles of Luzon or the
veldts of South Africa," was one of the
sentiments voiced by Howard L. Smith.
Gov. Lind, who delivered the closing
address, expressed sympathy with the op
pressed people of all races, and his firm
opposition to imperialism, in whatever
guise presented. The following resolution
was adopted:
Resolved, That whereas the Filipinos
were our allies in driving the Spaniards
from the Philippine islands, and did
therein establish a republic of their own,
the purchase of the islands by the United
States from Spain, and attempting to ex
tend our sovereignty over them without
the consent of their inhabitants was a
violation of the plainest dictates of na
tional honor, a direct infraction of inter
national law and an utter disregard of
the fundamental principles of our own
government.
Resolved, That the war of subjugation
prosecuted by the present administration
to destroy the Philippine republic and to
compel a recognition by the Filipinos of
the immoral and unlawful bargain with
Spain is. according to our code of morals
criminal aggression, and disgraces our re
public before the world.
Resolved, That for the apparent purpose
of hiding this disgrace and justifying our
criminal aggression, there has been a sys
tematic attempt to misrepresent the Fili
pino government, to blacken the charac
ters of the Filipinos and their leaders,
and to deny the true relations existing
between their government and our own.
Resolved. That our government should
take Immediate steps toward a suspension
of hostilities In the Philippines, and a
conference with the Philippine leaders,
with a view to prevent further bloodshed,
and to secure peace on the basis of a
recognition of their freedom and inde
pendence, and of such a government in
the islands as the people thereof shall
prefer, upon the organization of which
in a stable manner, the United States
shall withdraw all military and naval
forces.
Resolved, That we heartily indorse and
approve the resolutions of sympathy with
the Boers Introduced in congress by Sen
ator Mason, of Illinois.

A Moorhead dispatch says: "L. A
Rosing, chairman of the Democratic s'.ate
central committee and private secretary
to Gov. Lind, has been in the city hall
all day. He has been in conference with
local politicians, but says his visit has no
political significance. As George II
Lamphere, who resides In this city, has
been expecting an appointment from Gov
Lind for several months it may be that
Mr. Rosing came up to ascertain just
what disposition of his case best to
make."

HANGING ON THE DOOR.
Ra Minus Raimnsaen, Janitor of
Dania Hall, Commit* Suicide.
Rasmus Rasmussen, janitor of Dania
hall, was found hanging to a door of the
basement yesterday morning. He had
committed suicide some time during the
night for unknown causes. He left the
lights burning In the upper hall.
Passers-by noticed the lights burning
Rll night and thought that Rasmussen
was very negligent. There had been a
meeting In the evening and it was
thought he must have forgotten to put
the lights out. The lights continued to
burn during the forenoon and about 10
o'clock the building was entered and the
body found.
Rasmussen was a single man, about
forty years old, a shoemaker by tivide.
He enme to Minneapolis from Willmar
and for the past two years had been
janitor of Dania hall. While his aoiions
of late have been somewhat peculiar,
none thought he contemplated suicide.
The body was turned over to Coroner
Nelson.

THE DISCOVERY OF THE AGE
A WOMAN WAS THE INVENTOR.
Thousands have tried from time imme
morial to discover some efficacious rem
edy for wrinkles and other imperfections
of the complexion, but none had yet suc
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now
famous Complexion Specialists, of 78 Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lic their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason so many failed to make this
discovery before is plain, because they
have not followed the right principle.
Balms, Creams, Lotions, etc., never have
a tonlo effect upon the skin, hence the
failures.
The Misses noil's Complexion Tonlo
has a most exhilarating effect upon the
cuticle, absorbing 1 and onrrylng off all im
purities which the blood by its natural ac
tion is constantly forcing to the surface
of the skin. It is to the skin what a vital
ising tonic is to the blood and nerves, a
kind of new life that immediately exhil
arates and strengthens wherever applied.
Its tonic effect Is felt almost immediately,
and it speedily banishes forever from the
skin, freckles, pimples, blackheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
Olllness, eruptions, and discolorations of
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery, the Misses B©n will,
