Special to The Observer. Durham. June 7. The most im portant feature to-day at Trinity wis the meeting of the board of Itbfa afternoon at (kSO. The Monday alter tne commencement exercises la usually devoted to the business Ids of the colleare. Most of th members of the board arrived in the city on title afternoon's trains, hence the lateness of the hour of the meet-tng At this meeting Dr. Kllgo submitted his fifteenth annual report to the trustees. The report is one of -no little significance, marking as It does the cloning of the. fiftieth year In the life of the college, and the fifteenth of the present administration. The report In itself is interesting from many sttandpoints and .optimistic fram every standpoint. It breathes forth thatt air of freedom and self reliance that the college has alwuva stood for in the educational, political and religious life of the country, in common college parlance it is three ranr for the past and a "els. boom. uger- ior tne lature. The standard of the Trlnltv law school Is a notable one as outlined In the report. It is now five Venn old. Unlike a number of law rhnni. in the country, this one, striving for a higher standard In the profession, has refused to admit students un less they had completed the sophn- more year at some college of regula tion standard. Although thi hih standard has kept down the number of students In the law classes, "they fully vindicate," in the words of the report, "the value of colIeRe train ing as a foundation of a professional education.'

During the past year Professor Mc Intosh, of thle department, hras pub lished "Mcintosh on Contracts," a comprehensive study of this subject according to cases. Two years ayo appeared the law sectures of Dean Mordicae. At present the law faculty IS preparing an extensive work on "Remedies and Pleadings," also baaed on the case system. It is doubtless true- that the Trinity law department has prepared and pub lished more law literature than has evar been published within the same period of time by any law school in the Southern States. The statistical part ef the report Is also interesting. During the year past more students have matriculated fhan In any previous year. The most notable Increase was In the freshman class, H5 having attended collego this year. -This number la all the more significant when we examine the records and find that this )s a larger number than was In all the departments of the college a decado ago. This large Increase and the resigna tion of Dr. Edwin Mlms-necessitate the appointment of several new members of the faculty. The report j closes with this triumphant note: "Your college is now closing the first half'hundred years of service, and your board should be filled with gratitude for the past and should undertake larger things for the next fifty years. You should Increase at once your faculty, provide a perma nent support for the llgrary, establish additional courses In engineering, en Urge some of the buildings and con struct others, and plan to undertake every profitable line of .work that may open to you," TRINITY PARK SCHOOL. To-night was turned over to the Trinity Park School by the com mencement managers and the main feature besides the awarding of the diplomas and certificates was the declamation contest engaged in by seven of tho members of the gradu ating class. The would-be collegians or "preps," as they arc called by those who have passed over the road and are now full-fledged members of the college community, were there to-night in all their glory. They were feeling better and bigger than ever before or ever will feel afterwards, for It is a known and admitted fact that the kid who gets the diploma from the preparatory school feels much more the man than does the fellow who gets the A. B. degree from college. The marshals in their regalias and the seniors en the stage were dis tinctly Itt," and there was none to say them nay. for most of the audi ence had been there also or were hoping to get there in some future time. The Park School declamation con test was engaged in this year by the following young hopefuls with these ambitious themes; William Albert Cade, "The Coming Peace;" David Wiley, Fletcher, -"The Tate of Re formers;" John Albert Hornaday, Jr., "Silent Voice;" Bailie Sanders Pitt man, "liberty Enlightening the World;" Hubbard Braxtok Portor, "The Character of Napoleon;" Hu bert McRae Ratclifl, "Last Thought;" George - Andrew Warlick, "Constitu tional liberty." Mr. Hornaday won out and. the medal .was awarded to him. The medal is given by Prof, and Mrs. F. S. Aldrldge in memory of their! little child which recently died. The medals given by the literary so cieties were also awarded to-night. The declaimors' and debaters' modala from the Grady Society went -to A. G. Malone and C. H. Redding. . The Calhoun Society awarded the de claimors' medal to T. A. Cameron and the debators' medal to . A. Warlick. . Although the attendance at the Park School' hat not. been as groat as in some previous years, the class of work Is such as to encourage the authorities, aa was shown in the re port of Dr. ' Kllgo to - the . trustees.

June 7. With the stars and the bars and the star span iea banner floating largely and aralcably in the soft breeze of a j typical Southern day; with the pic tures or southern heroes aligned with those who fought for the Nortly with the streets filled with thousands of visitors; with here and there through the throng, the soft array and soia or tne cause tnat millions revere, the Confederate veterans' reunion began to-day. The formal programme does not begin until to-morrow, but all day long special and regular trains puffed noisuy into the Bluff City of Tennes Bee and debouched their thousands or passengers upon the nlatforms. The hotels, taxed to their capacity. nuve utuiaea every spare Inch or space and the halls and corridors are nned with narrow cots upon which repose good-natured but enthusiastic visitors to the reunion. From every store and office and private residence are strung the. national colors. The stars, and the bars and the united country's flag float side by side on every hand. Big signs tell of State. department and division headquar ters. Uniformed and courteous guides are at the service of visitors, and to even look in doubt means a polite of fer of assistance from both the men aad women who wear the badge "I live rrere. ask me. There probably never has been Confederate reunion at which the ar rangements have been so complete or the details so ably worked out. It is almost impossible to walk through any depot In Memphis without some courteous stranger Inquiring, "Ars you a visitor?" Information bureaus abound and no one can complain that accommo dations are not furnished. At a huge mess hall In Main street, a com missary has provided meals three times a day for the old boys In gray. There are the familiar beans and bacon, the, hard tack and coffee, fn addition to all the delicacies that th market can supply. Handsomely gowned and dainty Southern matrons ana maids superintended the pre pa ration nf food as well as the serv Ing of It, and see that the more timid and helpless of the old veterans are not slighted. The town is a myriad of lights and every resident has consti tuted himself an- Informal reception committee to see that every visitor Is taken care of. The real business of the reunion be gins to-morrow at 10 a. m., in con vention hall, when Major General J. H. McDowell will call the assembly to oMer. There will be the usual preliminaries, the addresses of wel come and responses, and the conven tion will ret down to business. There will be a floral parade In the afternoon, a meeting or veterans and eons of veterans to honor the women of the Confederacy In the evening. and a boat ride on the Mississippi. In the afternoon, too, there wHl be plac ed on view the bronzes designed for tho state monuments In honor of the women of the Confederacy. BROOKLYN PASTOR CALLED.

R.n.t,. n.n. . nA v. there were many sharp con- legislation. Senators Bailey and Money insisted that they were not so bound sna both of them referred to the vote of Mr. Bryan in the House of Repre sentatives on the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on State banks in opposition to the party platform. The Incident culminated In a per sonal colloquy between Senators Bul- ley and Stone concerning an "attack" which Mr. Bailey salj he heard the Senator from Missouri intended to make ' on Democrats who voted .'or a tariff on lumber. Mr. Bailey said he had heard this report from Senator Clarke, of Arkansas. Retorting, Mr. Stone said he did not like to have a matter coming up In private conversations in his own room brought Jnto the Senate, as he thought the fact that he had not at tacked Senaors for their vote on the lumber schedule was sufficient. Recess waa then taken. Upon re suming Its session this evening, the Senate heard explanations from the Texas and Missouri Senators that re lieved anyeellng. Mr. Doirrver discussed the cotton chedule, arguing against a duty of fifty per cent, ad valorem on cotton tapestry and jacquard figured goods as affording too much protection to the American manufacturers. r Mr. Aidrlch offered the amendment making the rate 40 per cent, aj valo rem tapestry made of cotton valued at one dollar or lees per yard and SO per cent, ad valorem on goods valued at more than a dollar. These rates were adopted. JTHE HOSIERY SCHEDULE. Speaking of the hosiery schedule, Mr. Dolllver said he wanted to know hew earnest and enthusiastic was the effort in the Senate to restore he Dlngley rates on stockings. He wanted to know if the higher rates of the House bill were to bs restored in conference. Mr. Scott, of West Virginia, offered In evidence a petition from hosiery operatives In West Virginia expressing fear that if the rates on hosiery were not Increased they would lose employ ment or have their wages reduced. Mr. Gallinger, of' New Hampshire, also opposed the restoration of the lower duties, saying that the American manufacturers could not compete with the foreign manufacturers lf the Dlngley rates are continued In force. Mr. Smith, of Maryland, opposed the high rates, declaring that he knew of no industry better protected than the hosiery Industry- Speaking of the large delegations of women that protested against raising the rates on hosiery, Mr- Dolllver told how they had descended upon the fi nance committee after having "called first on -the Speaker of the House, fliets between themv Beginning the session with a vote on the recommendation of his com- j-mlttee for a duty of three cents a square yard and so per cent, ad va lorem on the fabric known as windo Hollands. Senator Aidrlch was ap parently "somewhat encouraged over the prospect of making decided head way with the cotton schedule. His hopes were, however, doomed to early disappointment, for only a few moments afterwards Mr. Beveridge took the floor, snd before he conclud ed, he had opened such a gap that the Rhode Island Senator himself could not resist. the opportunity to walk in. Mr. Beveridge having said that ho had been Inojtnsd to support the recommendations of the finance committee, the admission led the chairman of the committee to say that-he had not shown such Incltna tion by his vote. Coming back, the Indiana Senator asserted his right to follow his conscience rather than the leadership of any Individual From that time forward, the two Senators were engaged In joint de bate much of the time during the day. In the course Of his remarks, Mr. Aidrlch, while contending that many prohibitive tariffs were justi fied, said he never had favored a pro hibitive policy. - He predicted that in time the South would become the greatest manufacturer of the finer grades of cotton goods. Replying to this assertion, Senator Bacon declar ed that even if such should prov,j,o be the esse he would not favor any IncYease of the customs duties. He believed that natural conditions In Georgia and the other Southern States would prove the best protection for their manufacturers. ' UNUSUALLY CLOSE VOTE. ly tendered a call to Rev. fir. W. M.

" New Tork, June 7.-George Bren necke ' was re-elected president; Arthur R. Harsh, vice president, and James F. Maury, treasurer, at the an nua election of .the New York -cotton exchange to-day. There -was no op- fiosjaoa, JUpkat ia W.Atd. About the middle of the afternoon, the Senate reached Its second vote, which was on a proposition by Sen ator Dolllver. . which had for Its pur pose the striking out of the commit tee's provision fixing a duty of one cent a square yard for the process of mefcerixation. The amendment -SWia lost by the unusually close vote of SI to 38. The narrowing of the mar gin, was, however, due to the ab sence of Senators rather than to the conversion of the progressives to the Aidrlch standard. It was after this vote that Senator Aidrlch found occasion to again chal lenge the attitude of some of the Re publican Senators, who are contend ing for lower duties. -He charged them with playing the part of briga dier for the Democrats, and speaking of Senator Beveridge, he declared that he had associated with the Dem ocrats so long that he was adopting their Ideas. He characterised Mr. Beveridge as the leader of the op position. Both Senators Beveridge and Cum mins replied, the former asserting that he was simply standing on the Republican platform, while the lat ter stated that he had been so often charged with being a Democrat that the charge did not worry htm. Sen ator Bailey found cause for congratu lation in the situation, because, aa he s)kid, he believed it would inure to the sdvantage of the Democrats. During the day Senator Smith, of Michigan, found occasion to attack the position of Secretary MacVeagh as the mouthpiece of the administra tion on the tariff situation. He In- 1 tlmated that he did not consider the second member of ' the President's Cabinet a reliable leader on this sub ject, because of his former Demo cratic proclivities.

Foaler, of the University of Chicago, whose writings, denounced by noni as "a bitter Indictment of the Christian re ligion before the bar of skepticism." have harrowed the clergy of Chicago, to-day at a meeting of Bhpust preacher of Chicago was railed on by Rev. Johnston Myers, to withdraw from the Baptist ministry and to yield up bis ordination papers. The criticism was directed chief ly at Professor Foster's recent book. 'The I 'unction of Religion." Only the objection of one man. Pro fessor A. K. Parker, an instructor at the Univeialty of Chicago, pranted the action by calling attention to a constitu tional provision, preventing aetion with out a week's deliberation. The case ac cordingly was postponed until June it. It was after Professor Foster had bean characterised as "an undesirable Bap tist," and as a teacher who "would de throne the Church and defy evolution,'' that the effort to eject from the councils of the denomination was made. "Professor Foster declares." said Rev, W. A. Mathews, of the Tabernacle Bap tist church, "that ens who calls himself a believer la the Blbla Is a 'knave Thank heaven 1 am a knave." 'May I ask how that word la spelled V interrupted Professor Parker. K-n-a-v-e," replied the speaker. If you will pardon the correction, observed Profor Parker, "1 have the book In my hand and the word Is spelled 'n-a-l-v-e.' ". 'Professor Foster states in his book, continued Mr. Mathews, "that Ood did not make man in His own image, but that man made God In his own lmag He says we are not fallen angels but de veluped animals. He says that miracles have always been the refuge of Ignorance and that modern tauhnlo must take the place of magic. I wonder what he means by 'modern technic' He declares that science has under. minded the trinity of course that Is In his own mind. He says that Jssua was a child of his time and that to copy Jesus Is to kill the soul, lis make tirade against the clergy. He says that the book of humanity Is greater than the Bible. 'The title of his book should have been Religion Without Christianity.' He guilty of the supreme conceit of ranking self-greater than Christ. He styles our grand old Book as the 'Petrified remains of the Christian religion.' Through It all Professor Foster's seven teenth-year-old son sat with flushed cheeks and shining eyes. At last un able to restrain himself longer, hs half rose and cried: "Why don't you review the book and not the manT" . The speaker paid no attention to the Interruption. When the motion was made to expel Professor Foster, there were cries of second It" from all over the ball. ELEVEY BODIES IIECOVFJIED. GIRL CRUSHED TO DEATH.

Searching Parlies Drag Like For Victims of Diaaotrou Collapse 01 a Small Pier, Upon Which Scores of Excursionists Had Crowded. Msndeville. La.. June 7. Up to ar. early hour to-night eleven oodles had been recovered from the waters of Lake Pontchartreln at the segue of eter day's disastrous collapse of a small -pier, upon which scores of excursionists had crowded to iboard the steamer Margaret, about to return to New Orleans. As far as can ibe ascertained, no other persons are missing, but search ing parties continued to drag the lake ntll a late hour to-night. All of the Ictlms were residents of New Or- cans. There appears to be considerable -uht as to why the Margaret landed at this pier Instesd of going to tho larger one, where It wis accustomed to touch.
