LINCOLN. May IT especial iThe re
ports which worn sent out lo relational
newspaper from Mnroln last night greatly
exasperated the trouble between the uni
versity ntudents and city police. Tho uni
versity authorities do not exonerate the stu
dent, but they do not hold them account
able fcr all of the trouble. An effort wilt
be made to punish the leaders of tho as
sault, however, and their suspension from
".hool may follow. The report In the
Omaha World-Herald Is espoc lully objected
to.
The story began by saying that "Armed
with loaded revolver, clubs, bars of Iron
and empty tin cans, a howling mob of be
tween 200 and 300 students made n de
termined attark on the city Jail and almost
demolished tho structure." Chief Holland
was quoted as ordering the policemen to
Ket their Winchesters and defend them
selves, and In another place It was asserted
that the Infuriated students after nearly
killing Patrolman Hnrr, mado a bold at
tempt to break Into the Jail.
All of those assertions aro utterly without
any foundation. No nttempt was mado to
destroy or even damage any portion of tho
building and only three windows ncro
hroken. Harr was not Injured so badly as
first reported. He received several bruises,
but his leg was simply sprained and not
broken. Nnlthcr were tho students armed
with loaded revolvers or bricks. The asser
tion that the whole street ear system was
paralyzed and conductors forced off their
platforms has no semblance of truth.
"Well, Isn't that absurd," eald Chancellor
flewey nfter rending the account of the
trouble In tho World-Herald. "Not one
word that I have beard from either fide
would In. Urate that there Is any truth In
tho afscrtlons. I am very forry that people
will go and exaggerate things In such a
manner.
"Tho trouble last night was unusual and
unexpected and for that roahon seems much
worse than t really was, and I don't feel
llko denouncing tho hoys. As a matter of
fact, tho students were not out to raise a
disturbance: they were simply out to have
a good time. They called at my hoiiho dur
ing the evening and acted In a perfectly
orderly manner."
IIimv the Trouble Mnrtrd.
"I think tho blame Is about evenly di
vided," said pne of the studenta who par
ticipated In tho fight. "During tho evening
wo went all over town, but did no damage
and had no troubftj with anyone until wo
stopped In front of tho police headquarters.
There our parade dlsbando.! and as wo were
about to leave for home someone on the
edge of the crowd shouted, 'Three cheers
for tho rottcnest police force on earth!' Wo
gavp. them with a will and Jimt then Tony
llarr. who had been following us all over
the city, ptmhccl hi way through the crowd.
Someone knocked his hat off and Harr then
began to club the boys right and left. You
could hear tho blows a bln?k away and it
was only natural for us to put up some kind
of a defense. Harr was thrown down and
handled pretty roughly, but his leg was not
broken."
This Is the accepted verelon of tho story
and the blamo for the trouble Is generally
believed to rot with the olllcer. Not a rock
was thrown until after the officer struck tho
students and then only three windows In
the building were broken.
Several tudcnts received severe brulnes
on the university campus this morning In
the annual class fights. The seniors and
the Juniors wrcotlcd and fought each other
for several hours and tho sophomores nnd
freshmen also attempted to settle class dif
ferences. Max l.ichman, the color-bearer
lor tho senior clans, was the first victim to
bo taken off the campus In an unconscious
condition. He wns sot upon by a crowd of
angry Juniors and thrown with terrific force
to the ground, where he was engaged in a
wrestling contefct with several powerful ad
versaries Ho wns overcome by exhaustion
and had to bo carried off tho field.
I'orter Aiiprnrn In Court.
Secretary Porter appeared beforo Judge
Frost to explain why ho refutes to sign tho
Homo for tho Friendless vouchers presented
by Mrs. A. M. Davis. His defense was on
legal grounds.
No further Information was received at
the state house today concerning the refusal
of Lang to give up his position to Dr. Deer
lng. It la supposed that there will be no
further developments until after tho In
Junction Is decided In court.

and laws of the state.
ln reference to charges against said Lang
he finds that Lang has hon oppressive In the

that he has kept the Institution In a state
of constant turmoil. Tho petition also re
cites the resignation of Dr. Lane under tho

then appointed Dr. Deerlng to take effect on

wncrc tho municipal assembly nnd Hut
mayor ere awaiting them.
In anticipation of their arrival the cus
tomary large crowd around the city hall
was largely Increased and the services of a
large number of policemen were required to
keep tho people from tho mayor's office.
Ptomptly at 3 o'clock the first line of car
riages turned Into City Hall park. The
crowds pressed around the carriages nnd
cheered and the delegates raised their hats.
.Mayor Van Wyck was at his desk when the
delegation entered his office, Klllaen Van
Rensselaer, chairman of the reception com
mittee, Introduced each of tho delegates ln
turn to the major, who said:
"I am delighted to welcome you to the
city of New York, and to assure you that !n
America you will receive a warm welcome
from tha liberty loving people of this coun
try. I deslro to Inform you that the repre
sentatives of the city of New York have
asked mo to extend you a welcome, and 1

charged by mo than this ono to greet you
on behalf of a frco people. I want to as
sure you that wherever you go you will
find a wclcomo from the people and we hope
that when your mission Is ended and you nre
returning to your own country you will
again call on us so that we may have tho
pleasure of giving jou another welcome."
Delegate Fischer said:
iKimrnnt of I'nrty Clique.
"This Is to us an occasion of pleasure and
of pride. We are not so conceited as to
take to ourselves the honor shown us, but
we wish to show that wo do not represent
an unworthy people. We believe that no
people can understand what It Is to struggle
for freedom except a people which has gained
Its freedom by such a struggle. Wo have
been told to avoid the pitfalls of patty
cliques and we can say that we are as Ig
norant of party cliques as when wo arrived.
The reception that has been given to us
comefl from all classes of people. We can
not think that tho mission to seek peace for
our country peace with honor wll be un
succefsful. Wo hope we shall obtain the
objects of our mission and we are encour
nge"d In our hope by the splendid reception
we are given everywhere. You, Mr. Mayor,
would not receive us ,as you do If jou
thought us unworthy.
"Thin reception by you Is an honor which
we will remember. The small liberty-loving
people will think tho better of their big
brother. We think we will come well out
of the struggle. We have been told that
90 per cent of the people of America sym
pathize with us. We want to convert the
other 10 per cent by simply telling the
truth. We h,opo that a free people will not
nave nppeaia 10 you tree pcop in vain
bly, welcoming the delegates
Then Van Rensselaer introduced Delegate
Weasels, who said:
To FlKht IOO Yrnm If Xrrmsnry,
"Bach member of this commltteo has a
part to perform. The part assigned to Mr.
Fischer Is specchmaklng. Wo have other
duties which wo will not mention now. We
have come to tell tho free people of Amer
ica that we mean to win and to retain our
freedom; If not today, tomorrow; If not to
morrow, we will keep on fighting for It for
the next 100 years. Wo have had to fight
for our liberty. Wo did not want to fight,
hut we had to. We ought to bo worth somo
consideration by the United States because
we are ono frco people appealing to another.
We do not ask you to fight for us, but we
ask you to say to England, 'Stop!' and wo
think that If tho word was said tho war
would be stopped. We are doing our own
fighting, but you can hardly call it a war.
It Is like a little boy trying to defend him
self when attacked. If we are beaten,
America will probably be ashamed In future
years If the question should be nskod,
"What has happened to your little sister.'' "
Delegate Wolmarans, who spoke In Dutch,
gave a history of the Transvaal trouble from
the beginning. He said:
AVnr Thrnst I pon Them.
"We never sought the war. It was thrust
upon us. Wo were robbed of our Inde
pendence In 1S77 nnd regained It ln 1 SSI. Ry
tho co-operation of a small but well dis
posed party In England of which Mr. Glad
stone wnn the head, we got the convention
of 16SI which gave us our Independence with
out suzerainty. Tho question was not dis
puted until after tho Jameson raid. We
havo tried to settle all our disputes by
arbitration. This has been refused by Mr.
Chamberlain and Sir Alfred Mllner. Wo are
gratified at tho way America has subscribed
for the widows nnd orphans of tho Boers,
Wh want to prevent the making of moro
widows and orphans by dumdum bullets or
otherwise.
"Beforo you leave," said Mayor Van Wyck,
"I want to express to you my sincere sor
row at the death of General Joubcrt. I knew
him when he visited this country and he
told mo all about the previous trouble. I
hope you will convey to his widow my deep
sorrow. Again I wish you Godspeed. May
you bo successful In your mission."
The members of tho municipal assembly
who wcro present were each In turn Intro
duced to the delegates. Then a group of
women were Introduced and Fischer said he
relied on the women of America to help along
that sympathy for tho struggling Boers
which was now so sorely needed.
As the envoys left the city hall they were
shaken by the hands by persons on all sides.
On making their reappearance the crowd set
up a chesr nnd Fischer, standing on the
steps of the city hall, delivered a brief ad
dresvi. Then they were escorted to their
i carriage. It took several minutes to ex
trlcnto tho carriages frrm tho crowd which
pressed around and shook bands with tho
delegates.

nt'TTr:. Mont . Miv IT Thr rpniiSUcfln
state convention met this morning nnd J K
Woods of Missoula was made temporary
chairman. In his speech he said a change of
administration at this time would be a na
tional calamity. He said. .
"If territorial ptnAnstnn was rlcht In the'
days of Jefferson It cannot bo wrong now."
Speaking on state affalts. he said success
of tho republican party would make Impos
sible any repetition of the disgraceful fight
In tho democratic party which had made tho
name of Montana n stench all over the coun
try. The namo of McKlnley was loudly
cheered.
After the appointment of the committees a
recces was taken until .1 o'clock.
When the convention reassembled this aft
ernoon and the delegates were reported from
tho commltteo on credentials, ex-l'nlted
States Senator W. F. Sanders moved as an
amendment to strike out the name of State
Senator Hen D. Phillips of Chateau county
ns n delegate. Phillips had oted for W. A.
Clark for senator. The motion to strike
Phillips from tho list was adopted amid a
cheer of nyes and a number of nays. B. T.
Burton of Teton was mado permanent chair
man. Tho platform commends the administration
of McKlnley, calls for the re-election of
Senator Carter, denounces trusts and on local
affairs says:
We denounce the present democratic gov
ernment ns Incompetent and unworthy of
the confidence of the people. They have by
their administration of the arfalrs of state
brought disgrace on Montana, ruined the
good reputation of some of Its citizens, de
fied our laws and made bribery and corrup
tion svnonymous with democracy.
We heartily commend .tihe nctlon of those
republicans who stood by their party In the
election ot United States senator In tho
last legislature.
We nlso denounce In unmeasured terms
the betrayal of republican principles by the
eleven republicans who voted for nnd as
sisted 111 the election at the last legislative
assembly of a democrat In the person of W.
A Clnrk to the United Htntcs sennte.
Wo denounce the statement recently mado
In the United Stntes senate that SO per
cent of the people of Montana favor a dem
mratlr United States senator, no mutter
who he tuny be, nnd assert that tlie people
of Montana. If given the opportunity, will
send as our representatives two republican
senators.
A minority report approved the action of
the republicans who voted against Clark and
omitted any mention of thoso who voted for
him. The majority report was adopted with
out division.
Thomas H. Carter, United States senator,
was elected delegate and chairman of tho
delegation by a rising vote. The other five
delegates, elected by acclamation, arc: C.
W. Goodale of Cascade, Henry Lyon of Daw
son, David B. Folsom of Meagher, Tyler H.
Wordcn of Missoula and John F. Forbls of
Silver Bow. Among the alternates elected
were McKay, Hedges and Lindsay, who -were
members of tho legislature and refused to
vote for Clark with tho other republicans.
Ex-Justice W. H. De Witt was elected na
tional committeeman.
BARKER VISITS M'KINLEY
.Nominee of Mlilrtle-of-the-IIonil Popu
lists Pnjn Ills ItrspectR to
President.
WASHINGTON. May 17. Mr. Wharton
Barker, the nominee for president of tho
Cincinnati convention of the middle-of-the-road
populists, called on President McKln
ley today to pay his respects. These gen
tlemen have known each other ever blnco
tho latter entered public life. Later on Mr.
Barker said to a representative of the Asso
elated Press that his homlnatlon at Cincin
nati makes the clcstlon of Mr. Bryan by
the democrats Impossible.
"In tho last presidential election," he
said, "Mr. Bryan received about 6,500.000.
Of this number at least 2,000,000 were popu
lists. This year I will get 1,500.000, or
poselbly 1.750,000 of that number. This will
cut Bryan's vote to 5,000,000 or less. Where
Is ho going to get the other oteR necessar
to elect him? It Is estimated that Mr.
McKlnley received 1,500.000 votes ftom the
democratic ranks four years ago. These
will not go to Bryan this year to make up
his loss of populist votes, If Gorman or
some other eastern man should be nomi
nated by tho democrats this year he would 1
carry New York, New Jersey, Maryland .
and Delaware In the east, not to coun'
doubtful states elsewhere. The light this
year will not be made on the money qucs- I
tlon. Transportation, expansion nnd other
live subjects will make up the Issues."
