TO ARMS! TO ARMS!
TROOPS PASS THROUGH LAWRENCE ON THEIR WAY TO THE COAST.
CARRY A FLAG FROM THE "U."
Excitement the Order of the Day Yesterday-Two Regiments in All Pass Through.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it just; and this be our motto—"In God is our trust"—And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave o'r the land of he free, and the home of the brave.
Never have these patriotic words of Francis Scott Key been so realistically brought home to the students of the University of Kansas as when on yesterday morning five hundred and fifty blue coated heroes passed through Lawrence on their way to fight for their nation's honor and in humanity's carrying away with them the Cuban flag which floated from the University flag-staff on Thursday.
The University as good as closed abruptly, shortly before ten o'clock. Such schereaching and screaming of whistles had never been heard, each man turned to his neighbor and inquired excitedly "What does it mean?" Then some one said, "The troops are going through," After that there was no use trying to hold classes or anything else. It was soon learned that only the first of two sections had passed through, and that the other would be along in about a half hour.
When this became noised abroad who thought of study and and what professor thought of conducting recitation? It was no use. Nobydy was interested at that moment in the extraction of Greek roots or even in the campaigns of Napoleon. Our own country was about to prepare for a campaign of its own and we of the great restless, excitable, patriotic west were stirred. Staid seniors and timid feshmen called excitedly for their hats at the check stand, and in battalions and squads started on the double quick for the Santa Fe denot.
At the depot they mingled with a surging, cheering mob of townspeople. There must have been 2,000 people, nearly half of whom were students, waiting for the troops. Many carried flags, and all brought their voices.
As the train whistled,Dick Rogers, "Billy" Cockins and George Robinson came tearing down the street with sheaCubn flag which Rodgers and Francis had run up on the "U's" flagstaff the morning before.
The crowd made room for the boys who flung the lone star of Cuba Libre to the breeze beside the stars and stripes.
From Captain Young, second in command of this detachment, a WEEKLY reporter learned that the train carried four companies of the Seventh Infantry from Fort Logan, Denver. Four other companies under the command of Colonel Carpenter commander of the Seventh went on the first train. The' troops had been ordered first to New Orleans but were now bound for Chickamaugua. The two sections carried in all five hundred and fifty men.
The train was coming around the bend now and as the crowd caught sight of it, a great shout arose, hand flags were waved and the soldiers as the train pulled in stuck their heads out of the windows and waived their hats. The train stopped for a few minutes, and the regulars got out to stretch their legs, and mingle with the crowd.
and who by the way is the senior captain in the United States army caught sight of the boys Cuban flag and asked if he could take it to war with him. The boys to whom the flag belonged, were only too proud togrant the captain's request. The captain was then lifted up onto the baggage truck and made a little speech, thanking the boys for the flag and saying he would put it up on the rear platform of the train. Catching sight of Mosse he remarked that he saw the Denver K. U. football game in '96 and laughingly added that he remembered the game to his sorrow.
CAPTAIN COOLIDGE GIVEN THE BOYS FLAG.
Just before the train started Captain Coolidge, in command of this battalion,
Then amid the cheers of the boys the captain clambered down off the truck, boarded the train, and a few seconds later followed by three cheers by the Seventh, the train pulled out of the depot on its way to the coast.
A COLLEGE REGIMENT.
Dr. Woodruff Organizing One.
The troops to be recruited from the Universities of Kansas and Pennsylvania.
The collegemen are not going to be left out in the war. Dr. Woodruff is in communication with his brother, George Woodruff of Philadelphia, coach of the University of Pennsylvania football team in regard to a college regiment.
Of the proposed regiment. "Pensy" is expected to raise 1,000 men and Kansas 200 or 300. Nearly all the foot-ball men have already signified to Dr. Woodruff that they will feel it as a personal insult if they are left out.
To a reporter for the WEEKLY Dr.Wood-
ruff said:
My brother has resigned from the Naval Reserve to organize this regiment. It will be raised provided assurances can be secured from the war department that those who volunteer for this organization will be allowed to remain in one regiment and elect their own officers. As soon as these assurances are received he will telegraph me.
"I expect to raise two or three hundred men from here. We will join the Pennsylvania volunteers, and after the union of the two forces, all officers will be elected; the regiment electing its regimental officers and each company its line officers
For my own part I have no personal ambition in the matter but am willing to shoulder a musket in the ranks."
"MOVE ON"
College Girls Impromptu Porch Party Abruptly Ended.
A number of prominent University girls chaperoned by the popular wife of a popular clergyman walked out to the races Friday of last week. They were almost at the end of Massachusetts street when becoming warm and tired they decided to sit down and rest till the parade passed. Shady porch steps looked comfortable and the uninvited pedestrans proceeded to make themselves at home.
Before the parade arrived however, the house door was energetically opened and a querulous female voice said, "Gar-ris, do you know this is private and not public property? The car has gone up and the car has gone back, and I can't imagine what you are waiting for."
The abashed chaperone managed to utenee "Parade" but was interrupted with "I neither know nor care anything about parades, but I am interested in quiet, which you are disturbing. I am waiting to see you go away." There was nothing for it, so the girls solemnly arose and filed down the street and sat on a fence in the next block while the parade passed.
We are sorry to confess it, but the interest the professors manifest in the WEEKLY is small indeed. A real line paper needs the support of all whom it reaches. Items of general interest of which only the professors are aware never reach the students. A little cooperation on the part of the professors would aid the WEEKLY materially.
The English composition class had an exercise this week in writing locals for the WERKLY.
FOWLER MA-
CHINE SHOPS
GEORGE FOWLER OF KANSAS CITY
THEM.
Means Better Shops Than Hopd for-
Citizens Have Raised $30,000.
George Fowler the Kansas City packer has given the University $18,000 to be used in constructing machine shops for the Electrical Engineering school. The gift came as a god-send to the Board of Regents and will enable them to put up a much more complete building than was anticipated.
The Regents were in session on Tuesday and Wednesday. The principal matter coming before them was the plans for the reconstruction of the burned shops. The committee of citizens appointed to solicit subscriptions for a loan by private citizens and consisting of Messrs Grovenor, Monroe, Bowersock, and Brooks reported that the needed $30,000 had been secured. It was determined to take half of this amount to build the shops. Prof. Blake was empowered to go to Kansas City and consult with architects as to plans for the building.
Prof. Blake returned Thursday morning with a rough draft of plans submitted by Roos & Siemans for the proposed $15,000 structure. Better still he carried in his vest pocket a document which made the heart of Chancellor Snow glad, the offer of Mr. Fowler to give $18,000 for the construction of shops. This offer is conditional upon the expenditure by the regents of $20,000 for apparatus suitable for the building.
The reghents had adjourned on the night before and gone home. A meeting was i immediately called for Wednesday to consider Mr. Fowler's generous gift. There is no doubt but that it will be accepted. As a result of Mr. Fowler's generosity the reghents will be enabled to put up a much more complete building than was at first intended. They will also be enabled to put more money into the machinery needed for the building. And this will be done at a saving to the state. Only $20,000 of the contemplated $30,000 loan will now be needed to comply with the condition of Mr. Fowler's gift. The state will thus save $10,000 and the University will get a better equipped shop.
The new building will be placed on the hill probably south-west of Snow hall and will be called the Fowler shops. Chancellor Snow wore a broad smile when seen by a WEEKLY reporter
"This unexpected gift is very gratifying to me," said the Chancellor. "It insures us a better building than we had hoped. The Regents would not have felt like putting up so complete a structure as this will be. In addition it makes the way easier towards securing a new Chemistry building from the next legislature. Another feature of this matter which is very gratifying to us in the University is the liberality and spontancy with which public spirited private citizen responded to our call for a loan. Not only from Lawrence, but from the two Kansas cities, were subscriptions received. It showed friendliness and interest in the University and made us feel that if we had had a $100,000 catastrophe instead of a $30,000 one that the needed aid could have been secured from half a dozen places."
Vol. VI. No. 10.
Prof. Blake refused to say anything as to the size and character of the building except that it would be thoroughly up to date in every respect and would serve for many years to come.
The shops will be planned by Root & Siemans, of Kansas City Mo., who are experts in this line of construction, having built the new Riverside powerhouse of the Metropolitan Street Railway in Kansas City, the power house of the Metropolitan Water Co., and the half million dollar power house of the Washington and Georgetown Electric Railway at Washington D. C.

A STILL BIGGER CROWD SEES THE COLORED TROOPS.
Twenty-fourth Infantry Goes Through in Three Sections.
Three Sections
A still greater crowd than that of the morning saw the Twenty-fourth infantry (colored) passed through on the Santa Fe in the afternoon. At least a thousand people must have been at the station.
Little attempt was made to hold afternoon classes, but all who wished to see the troops were excused and nearly the whole University took advantage of the permission.
"The train," so Lieutenant Cartwright Regimental Adjutant informed a representative of the WEEKLY, "was only the first of three sections, one of the others being made up of baggage and accoutrements.
The train was late and the delay tedious, but the crowd had come to see the troops and they were not going home till they had seen them. When the crowd caught sight of the engine, they sent up a mighty shout and as the big locomotive got close enough so that the inscription "Remember the Maine" could be seen the noise redoubled.
The regiment consists of twenty-five officers and 483 men. They are altogether from colored regiments in the army, two of infantry and two of cavalry.
"Yes and we want to go to Cuba" put in another officer. Then the band played "The Star Spangled Banner," the engine whistled and the train sped on its way.
