Washisoton, June 1. Sex ate
Th resolution offered yesterday by
byMr. Call directing the; Attorney
General to report whether! Anas tasift
island near St. Augustine, fla., is the
property of the United States and
whether the' whole or any Iportion of
it is covered by Spanish grants was
taken up and agreed to.
The House bill to amend the Agri
cultural College act of 1862 and other
supplementary acts in regard to ex-
Krimental stations, was, on motion of
r. Brown, taken from the calendar,
amended (in phraseology) and passed.
: air. Edmunds, from the judiciary
committee, reported back adversely
the House bill removing tht disabili
ties of Horace A. Brown, of Virginia,
and it was - indefinitely postponed.
The reason for the adverse Ireporfc is
that the gentleman is not inder any
political disabilities, he not having
been an officer when he left the ser
vice to join theConfederate army, but
only a naval cadet
; The Senate then proceeded to the
consideration of the Indian appropri
ation bill.- 1.
A colloquy took pla;el between
Messrs.-Plumb and Bate in Jfeegard to
tbe administration of the', office - of
Commissioner of Indian Affair, the
former asserting that the condition
of things in the Indian Territory was
worse now than it had been jfor many
years; that there never was a time,
when the trader so dominated the In
dian, when the Indian was,' brought
so tnuch in debt by the. exactions of
the trader and when so : much liquor
was sold, and that the commissioner
had no experience, was advanced :u
years and was unequal' to the posi
tion, while Mr. Bate defended the
Character, ablity, honesty itnd efli
ciency of the commksujner, and chal
lenged the Senator from Kansas to
prove his assertions, which Mr. Plumb
promised to do. .
i tit. Blair said he' had seen it stated
ia the newspapers that the J Catholic
church had an undue influence in the
matter of Indian schools on the res
ervations, and he . asked Mi. Dawes '
what truth there was in such a state
ment " '
r Mr-Dawes replied that the Inte
rior Department made contracts with
associations or individuals! for the
education of a certain number of In
dian scholars some at $108 ind some
at tl58 per annum and, that there had
been a good deal of complaint that
the Catholio denomination "got the
predominant share of these Scholars.
He attributed this, hqwerer not to
any special faror but to the fact that
the CUtholia Ohnrch had bureaus in
Washington whose dvM itf "war to
look out for opportunities ;to make
contracts for the education of Indian
children. Finally the bill was passed,
and the Senate adjourned till Mon-
daj. ; ;
i HOUSE.
';Ur. Mills of Texas, rising in his
place, asked in the name of Confede
rate soldiers living and dead, that the
House consider -the Sheridan bill, but
Mr. Eilgore persisted in his objec
tion. Af ter reports from committees
Mr. Spinola of New York renewed his
effort to have passed the Senate bill
to revive the rank of General of the
Army for the benefit of Lieutenant
General Sheridan but Mr. Kilgore of
Texas again objected. ,
Mr. Randall .suggested that the
bill might be passed Monday under
suspension of the rules and it was
laid over. I
A few minutes later Mr. Spinola, of
New York, again sought to bring the
Sheridan bill before the House by
asking consent to report it hack from
the committee on military affairs (it
had been referred to that committee
after tne preceding failure;.
Mr. Kikrore was induced to with
draw his objection so far ad to allow
the report to be made, but Mr. Oates,
of Alabama, promptly renewed it
The private business J having
been dispensed with, he rej
ular order was demanded
being the appeal of Mr. Peters, of
Kansas, from the decision of the
tariff bill, the debate on the first
paragraph to -be limited j to 20 min
utes. By ;an agreement with Mr.
McKinley the time for debate was itx
tended to 40 minutes and the motion
prevailed.
Messrs. Holman, Weaver and Mc
Cormick, of Pennsylvania, spoke upon
the lumber question. j
Mr. Buchanan, of Netfr Jersey, dul
not want to be singular by 8pekinf?
to the pending amendment (to mke
the free list go into effect next Jau
uary) but would do as other speakers
had done and talk about something
else- j
When the time had? expired the
question was put on. Mr. A ianw
amendment to su slitute January 2.
1889, f6r July 1, 1888, ad the dato of
application of tbe free list and it was
defeated, yeas 81, nays 118.
, Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey, U;ju
offered an amendment to ei'jJ.u
foreign prison-made goods from
entry. Ruled out on a point of or
der. Mr. Buchanan appealed, but the
ruling was .sustained by i party vote.
Thereupon Mr. Buchanan modified
the language but not the substance
of hi a amendment so that it was un
Objeclionable in form, but it was de
feated by a strict party- Vote' of 97 to
10.5i ' '
Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, offered an
amendment to add to the first para
graph, a prohibition ; of the 'im
portation of goods, the nianufaeture
or sale of which is controlled by
trusts. Rejected by 70 to 105.
Mr. Baker, of New .York, presented
his amendment to exclude Canadian
goods from the f'ee list whenever the
government of the country imposes a
deity on American goods of a similar
nature. Rejected.
This concluded the considerat ou of
tbe first paragraph fi vo lines of the
bill, and the clerk read : "Timber,
hewn and sawed, and timber used. for
spars and in building wbartrra" (the
first article on the fice-4isf).
Mr. Strublc, of Jowris. nir.ved to
strike out tlie paraarrsph. ' .,
The ntpt Itt-publican hi pkt-r on
this motion bad nothing' to sr.y ajxjut
it, but disciisRed instead the free jyooi
provision of the bill, aad free wool
occupied the renia nder of the af tor
noon session.
Finally Sir Mills suggested that
in view or mo lact iiiOi two lines
which had ixen under cansideration
all day, concerning an item that, had
yielded but $198 80 in reenue last
year, that tne piragrapu be passed
over. Tnis request ben2 reiuseu tne
committee rose, and pending the de
cision upon Mr. Mills motion to limit
to ten minutes further debate 'upon
the paragraph the Houso j took a re

Frederick O. Prince, secretary of the
Democratic National Committee, ar
rived last night from Boston. In re
ply to a question he said that the
mass of the delegation was not only
a unit for C oveland, but that it heart
ily endorsed his position on the tariff
question. "Our delegation," he paid,
"is not instructed for V;ee President,
but Gen. Steveuson has many friends
among the Democrats of our State,
and he may get our vote for second
place on the ticket. That matter will
be settled in caucus, however. M.
M. Ham, editor and proprietor of th
Dubuque Jertdd, -Rnd n:euiber of tho
National Democratic Coinuiittoe from
Iowa, atrived. last evening. In an
swer to inquiries he said : The Iowa
Democracy has but one sentiment ou
the tariff question. President Cleve
land's message hasp been "adopted as
their platform. Clevelaud is their
choice for President. Aa to Vice
President, I cannot say. Giay, of
Indiana, and Stevenson, of Illinois,
both have their friends- Just what
effect the Thurman mOvemeu' will
havet with o:ir delegation I cannot
tell. If he would take- the nomina
tion I expect they would be glad to
help him to it. e are going to try
to carry Iowa this fall. The work we
have done in the paet few years gives
us confidence in our ability to re
deem the State."
Among the delega'es now here the
Vice Presidency is the all absorbing
topic, there, being but onB tame
heard or even thought of for the head
of the ticket. The situation in regard J
to the second place as summed up
by the Republican this morning ia as
follows: Thurman can have the nomi
nation if he will take it. - B ack will
have a very flattering following, espe
cially from the South. Morrison will
be the favorite of tho "Tree Blues" if
Thurman positively decline; 5 ray
will have an iramensa following, ac
companied by bitter opposition from
Indiana; Roger Q. Mills will: receive
a nice complimentary vote and

You have already wada mention of
the opening exercises, the excel lut
sermon by Rev. W. S. Creasy of Wil
mington On Tuesday night a
SESIOR BECEFTION "
was given to the graduating class.
The yonug gentlemen who had been
invited by the member 1f the clap.
wore iecievtljd by thf lady
principal, Miss Dora Jones, assisted
by some or tbe lady teachers. The
two parlors and reading room weiefuil
of bright young faces, and more than
once I heard the remark. "There is
not an ugly girl here" but my word
for it there were many pretty ones.
I have never seen costumes which
avoiding the gorgeous were so pretty
and becoming. Tempting refresh
ments, fruit and ices were terved in
the veranda. The evening was a
compute success. Wednesday morn
ing was the regular time for the an
nual reunion of the Alumuae.
Atuoj'g those present, besides the
resident alujrnre and he graduating
class, were 'th. Gill, '5S, Mrs. Mo
Dearmar of Danvili; Mrs. Norman
and Miss Maun, of Winston; rs.
Barrett, of Kornersvilip, Mi?s Lula
Hester, of Granville county, and a
number of others. The full number
in aUt.ndanoe was GO. First in trp
morning was their private reunion. I
aru informed that the "Welcome'.' by
Miss Mary Gray, of Greensboro, was
excellent, as were also the a '.dresses
by Mibs Dora Jones and Mrs. Hc
i'e&rman. The programme of the
public exercises was as follows :
PBOGKAMME.
1. Processional March Misses Heu
drick, of Virginia, and Ros'.nthil. of

and M. Alderman, 86.
Universal regret was felt that
Bishop Galloway could not be with
us us his reputation foretold a splen
did treat, but lie v. Thomas L- Hume,
D. D., LL D., of the University, who
had been chosen to deliver the liter
ary address, consented to the change
and addressed os yesterday. His
treatment of "Woman' in Her Rela
tion to the Progress of Thought,"
was truly eloquent, instructing the
intellect, arousing the emotion and
urging on to a decision the will. Be
fore he ceased many of us had deter
mined to study with more care the
ideal woman and almost unequaled
author Elizabeth Barreit Browning.
All tho music was choice, but the
singing of Miss Hester deserves
special mention. In volume, com
pass, sweetness, culture, everything
that goes to make a perfect Voice,
her's is among the first that have ever
charmed a Greensboro audience.
Notwithstanding the storm the
large chapel w as crowded at night' to

COMMESCEMEST DAY.
The graduating exercises began at
11 o'clock Thursday 31st.
It is impossible to point out the
special merit which abounded in each
essay. MisB Long, the winner of es
sayest medal is the sister of Prof
Long and Vernon W. Long of tho Win
ston Sentinel who each in turn
took the Easayest Medal at the Uni
versity. Miss Lena Hudgins from
the Orphanage at Oxford oc
cupies a prominent place not
only in the programme (all honor
she richly deserves), but also in tbe
hearts of her Bchooimates.
The addresses of Judge Settle, Dr.
Jonee, Dr. Yates and Rev. Mr. .Nor
man in the presentation of .'diplomas,
Biblos and medals were all choice
treats. The music was excellent, an
earnest of the exquisite treat we were
to enjoy at night in the concert,
which is tbe grand flourish with
which Greenrboro commencement al
ways winds up. The solos of Miss
IIu igins and Miss Sherxill were ap
plauded to the echo and notwithstand
ing the evident unwillingness of
tho teacher and the young ladies
themselves, rhey were forced to sing
again. The orchestra consisted
of M.sses Aldeiraan, piano; Messrs-.
T. W. and G. Woodruff and Prof.
F:olt, violins; Mr. Haywood Alder
man, cornet, and Mr. Sidney Alder
man, llute. The overture aud the
concertos are absolutely unrivaled in -j
all the music I ever heard. The
choruses were excellent sung by a
largo number of mingled male and
female voices. The whole concert,
from Prfcessional March to final
no'e of the second chorus, was sim
ply ijrdiid. Misses Jones and Alder
man, who this year receive diplomas
in music, and Misses S her rill and
Hudgins, who sang solos, are musi
cians who would honor any school.
The art display ia declared by
cr tics to be Very creditable io the
colleges and lo the yoUDg ladies
who&'i handwork it is. The literary
society boa-ts of a hall newly decked
with bcauwfui embroidery aud paint

OF THE KALEIOH KALE ACAD1MT, MESSRS,
MOBSON DENSON, PHIHOIPALS.
Among the commencement exer
cises of various institutions at this
season, none is of more interest to our
city than the brilliant occasion of yes
terday, when the annual year of the
Raleigh Male Academy came to a
close. Many of our leading citizens
were in attendance, and tbe expres
sion b of satisfaction were universal.
Rev- L. L. Nash delivered a fervent
prayer, alter wnicn rroi. uugn aior-
son welcomed tbe friends of the
school and conducted exercises in
declamation from a number of the
students. Where all spoke with such
credit to themselves and the school,
it is difficult to select subjects of spe
cial commendation, but we venture to
name Messrs. Samuel A. Ashe, Jr.,
Hubert Royster, Perrin Busbee and
Waller Baglfey as exhibiting great
talent add cultivation in this art.
Uapt. O. B. Benson then read the
roll of honors awarded, and the class'
standing, as the result of the exam-'
inations of two Weeks past, in the
English, Latin, Greek, French and
German languages, mathematics,
science and book-keeping. Repeated
bursts of applause greeted- the sue
cessful students.
Capt Denson then introduced His;
Excellency, the Governor of North
Carolina, as the orator of the dayj
whose deeply interesting, address
evoked the most profound attention!
and enthusiastic applause.
Gov, scales alluded to the natural
interest of the day to pupils, parents
ana teacners, ana to tne wnoie city, i
In a felicitous way he related his
early experience as a teacher, and
bis happy life in tbe profes
sion, under all the disadvant
ages incident to that day,
and declared that not a school existed
in a cave of mountains that was not
far in advance today. He illustrated
by quaint incidents that amused his
audience greatly, and we observed
the gray haired man and the young
est child listening in rapt attention.
He then alluded to an apparent
disposition in some sections to neg
lect the learning of high schools and
academies and rising to a strain of
impassioned eloquence, he portrayed
the bu per b power of classic learning,
and the enormous influence for good
of high scholarship and thorough
scholastic training. He cui r&tulated
tbe people of Raleigh upon the splen
did nistory and the lofty standard
now reached by the Raleigh Male
Academy and bade them cherish that
institution forever as their pride and
honor.
Governor Scales, then, amid enthu
s as tic cheers, presented the certifi
cates of distinction to the s undents
who won honors, and the exercises
closed with a benediction by the Rev.
Dr. Atkinson.
- Many of those preouat examined
the meritorious paperB taken from
the examination records, prepared
without knowledge that any but the
teachers would inspect them. Among
these were translations from Homer,
Horace, Ovid, Virgil, etc , exercises
in algebra and geometry, English lit
erature, and many line sets of dookb
in the commercial department which
won unqualified praise.
The boys highly appreciated the
attendance of so many pretty girls,
and the flowers that were the gifts of
their fair bands.
The Academy reopens September
1st, under the same management
which has been so successful in win
ning the support of the people of
Raleigh and the adiacent counties.
We will publish hereafter a Jist oi
honors awarded.
The splendid school which Messrs
Denson and Morson have built up in
our city deserves the unreserved pat
ronage of our people, and th schol
arly principals tuerit unbounded grat
itude for tlie i r labors in our nuaat in
behalf of education. Unlimited pros
