By the Associated Press.)
Cleveland, Ohio, May 2?.—The Republi
can State Convention assembled today
and heard reports.
The report making General Charles H.
Grosvenor permanent chairman and con
tinuing' the rest of the temporary or
ganization was adopted. When Governor
Nash presented General Grosvenor, the
latter received quite an ovation and made
a catefully prepared address.
General Dick, chairman of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, then read the
platform, which was adopted.
After paying tribute to the memory of
President McKinley, the platform ap
proves the high aims and character of
President Roosevelt’s administration. He
faithfully maintains the plighted faith
of the nation, upholds the best standard
bf the public service, and stands by the
policies which assure stability and con
fidence. He represents a civic patriotism
of the highest type and the destinies of
the country are safe in his hands.
State affairs are then referred to and
the pres?nt prosperity of the country un
der the protective taritf is commented on
thus:
“All labor is now employed and at
wages higher than ever before knovfe.
Farm products have doubled in value and
earnings and saving have largely in
creased. . The products of the farm, the
forests, the mines, the shops, and fac
tories. not only supply the marvelously
increased home demand, but have per
manently placed the United States at the
head of the world's exporting nations.
“So great is the country's prosperity
and so ample the revenues under the
Dingley tariff law, that the present %Re
puclican Congress has been able to re
di cm prrtv pledges by repealing war rev
enue, aggregating ft 10.000,000 annually,
thus reducing ta . ..on to a peace basis,
while the army a still on a war footing.
“Democratic access would threaten
the destructicr of the protective system
un ler which c ar splendid prosperity has
come; and Cv mere shadow cf impending
free trade would destroy confidence, un
settle b. ’ alarm industrial inter-
and immediately check the demand
for labor."

HOAR’S AMENDE HONORABLE TO MILLER
All Day the House Debates the Bill to Increase
the Subsidiary Coinage by Coining
Sliver Bullion in the
Treasury.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, May 28. —An agreement
\ was reached in the Senate today by
| which a final vote on the pending Pbil
: ippine Government Bill and amendments
will be takm next Tuesday at 1 p- m-
Pending nthe vote the Senate will meet
•at 11 o’clock each day except Friday,
; when adjournment will be taken, it be
iing Memorial Day. On Monday and
1
Tuesday the debate will be under the
.fifteen minute rule. After some minor
amendments had been made ;o the racus
'tirc today, Mr. Burrows, (Mich.), ex
plained at length the bill. He strongly
urged the enactment of the majority
; measure, maintaining that it would nfi
! vanee the interests and promote the
'prosperity 0? the islands. In his judg
jraent it would be a mistake now to ac
cord lo the Filipinos self-government
and independence. Such a proceeding
j could result only in disaster to inhabi
tants and possible anarchy in the is
lands.
Mr. Culberson inquired if Mr. Lodge
could give any idea of the scope of the
inquiry now being made by the Philip
pine Committee and when the inquiry
would be concluded
j Mr. Lodge said he thought the inquiry
| would continue as long as the session
' should last.
“Unaffected by the disposition of the
pending- bill ’’’ inquired Mr. Culberson
‘•Entirely unaffected by the disposi
tion of the bill," replied Mr. T.oclge.
| .Mr. Hoar presented a letter from G< n
; era 1 M. I’. Miller. U. S. A., correcting
1 correcting what he said was an error in
a recent speech of Mr. Hoar, who had
said that General Miller -‘notoriously
did want an attack and Aguinaldo met
j it with speedy defiance ," the ref
erence being to the issuance by General
Miller of President McKinley s procla
mation, a part of which was suppressed
;by General Otis.
In his letter General Miller sdid Mr.
j Hoar was in error. H > said General
Otis had not informed him tiia; the Pres
ident's proclamation was not to be is
sued in full. He was not anxitus lor 1
fight and always had advised the Fili
pinos to accept the sovereignly of the
j United States, as he believed the United
[State swould Vrant them their reason
able desires.
Mr- ‘Hoar said the letter evidently was
that of a sincere and honest gentleman.
He absolutely acquitted General Wilier
from publishing the proclamation in < r
;dei to bring on hostilities.
I Mr. Lodge then offered son:? amend
ments to the bill, all being of minor im
ipoitanee, except those reducing the
[amount of land to be taken up by each
[person from 160 acres to 40 acres. The
jemoidments were agreed to.
In response to an inquiry by Mr- Tel
; ler, Mr. loxlge said the Philippine Com
mittee had not determined yet what
change, if any, should be ifiadr 111 the
provision of the bill enabling a corpora
tion to acquire 5,000 acres of land He
thought some changes ip th> provision
might be made, but whet it would be
he could not cay.
The Coinage Bill.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, May 28. —The House spent
| the day debating the bill to increase the
subsidiary coinage by coining the silver
; bullion in the Treasury and to recoin
1 standard silver dollars as the public
necessities may require. The limit of
subsidiary coinage is now S 100,000,000,
The bill increases this to an indefinite
amount in the discretion of the Secre
tary of th<- Treasury. The bill aroused
the opposition of the Democrats, who
i claimed it was only a. step in the direc
tion of the complete striking down of the
1 silver dollar. The debate drifted into a
general discussion of the silver question,
j Very little interest was shown and Mr.
1 Cochran twice made the point that no
quorum was present.
* Mr. Newlands (Nov.) finally offered an
amendment to make subsidiary silver a
legal tender and this amendment was
pending when the House adjourned.
Mr. Hill (Conn.), who had charge of
the bill, said there seemed to be a mis-
I understanding, as to the scope of the
bill, it had nothing to do with the quos
-1 tion of the exchange ability or redemp
tion us s*lver dollars contained in the
■Fowler Bill. It covered only the subject
subsidiary coinage and was so inno-
BEt’.t that tiie minority had not seen fit
attack it in their report. It provided
the coinage of the* silver bullion in
■L* Treasury and the Itecoinage of silver
dollars into subsidiary coin as public
necessities might require.
Mr. Bell (Colo.) opened against the
bill. He declared t-hat every great panic
in which the country had suffered had
been precipitated by “currency tinker
ers," like Mr. Hill. The ultimate aim
of Mr. Hill and his friends, he said, was
to create an all powerful banking trust
which would control the issue of paper
currency. If their program was carried
out, he said, all the currency would dis
appear except gold and bank paper. The
pending bill, he said, was one of three,
and the only one the Republicans dare
pass in the face of the Congressional
elections.
Mr. Lewis, and others also opposed the
bill.

West Indies, are drifting on the shores
of the islands in this vicinity. Fisher
men have also brought in pieces of it

uation of the glory of our forefathers in
stimulating the’study of the history and
inculcating the principles of national pa
triotism and promoting ail that is noblest

The Greedy Hornets, after taking all
the games to bo had in Raleigh, have i
moved on.
Today they will engage the attention
of King Kelly's Kiskidees in the city of
Greensboro.
We do not moan their departure, but |
rather speed it.
Raleigh at one time yesterday looked ;
as if it was going to win out, but. ah,
my beloved, that dreadful if.
The game went a shummering to
Bishop and Ashenback's hard hitters to
the tune of 8 to 6.
Pddhop was hit all right by the Ral
eigh batsmen yesterday, and but for a
few errors, a lack, of proper coaching at
I third, and the want of lively hustling 1
; after some flvs that ought to ha\e been ,
handled, the result would perhaps have
i been different.
j Umpire Jack Sherman featured again
J yesterday, and had to have the rules '
! read to him a few times. If he is going
I to be a.n umpire he should study these
a little, and learn the game.
; The halt had while Cant. Barley Kain
! was making a demonstration of the
rules to the umpire concerning a plain
balk made hv Pitcher Bishop was utilized
! by a crowd on the bleachers to start a
■ small size riot. The fans disputed, a
| blow came, others joined in and a dozen
men were mixing and punching and jab- |
bing. Several officers and peaceful citi- i
zens finally dispersed the combatants, j.
and the umpire having discovered that
Bishop had made a balk, the game pro- I
eceded.
Charlotte scored two runs in the first
inning. With two down Armstrong put i
a fly in centre that Roy misjudged and
lost. Armstrong landed on second and
scored when O'Steen put a single in right
that slipped past Myers and allowed
O'Steen to score. Then Ashenback hit \
black and blue spots in the air. Poor
fielding by Raleigh was accountable for
these runs.
In the third Charlotte again scored, j
Bishop flew to left, Cooper hit and was ]
advanced when Weaver died at first. ;
Armstrong punched out a two bagger in !
centre, scoring Cooper. O'Steen hit in j
left, but Armstrong was caught at the [
plate.
In the fourth Raleigh took two runs, j
Smith was out, short to first. Roy |
singled in left and Farrell walked. !
Myers was urged by the bleachers to
make a hit and did so in right. The j
I ball was thrown to Lehman, who drop- j
ped it, allowing Roy and Farrell to
score. Treagar reached first on short's
fumble and Hook took first on Bishop’s j
balk, and with full bases Charters and j
Pastor fanned.
In the sixth Pastor's error gave Leh
man first. He tob' second and scored,
on Cooper’s hit. In its half Raleigh had ;
fun and netted four runs. Farrell hit in ]
left. Myers fanned. Traegar hit in *ntrej
and went to second as Farrelt just made
third. Hook batted to Bishop, the ball
bounced tq the second baseman and on
bis wild throw Hook was safe and Far
'd! scored. Charters hit in right and
Traegar scored. Pastor flow to third,
j Softie hit in right, scoring Hook and
j charters after which Smith flew to ccn
trofleld.
I Charlotte took a final run in the ninth,
j O’Steen-led with a hit and advanced as
J Ashenback went out. Hook to Farrel.
j Brouthers flew in left and a wild throw
!to first sent the ball away, allowing j
' O’Steen to score. Hempleir.an hit a two
1 bagger in right, but Lehman saw his
j finish from Pastor to Farrell,
i Raleigh did nothing in iho nimh, Roy
! only reaching first on a free ticke. with
1 on- down, and the next two went up .
the flume. *

New Bern, N. C., May 28.—New Bern j
defeated the Sea Gulls today in a hot and I
closely contested game by a score of 7
to 6. Both teams used the stick lively.
The visitors’ bunched hits caused them
to score. Hard hitting on both sides was
the feature of the game. Handiboe for
the visitors was out of the game on ac
count of sickness.
New Bern got in two new players to- ;
night. Wallie Warren, who pitched
such a good game yesterday was wired
for by the Southern League and must go.
Five two baggers were made—one each
by Short and Dommell for the visitors,
Randolph. Wind and Bass for the home
team. Both teams played snappy ball.

(Staff Correspondent.)
Wake Forest, N. C., May 28.—The Wake
Forest session of 1901-1902 is over, and
with its closing comes news that is very
| welcome. Two great new movements
have been started, one by the alumni and
one by the trustees. The first is the
erecting of a fine, up-to-date alumni
building; the second is the establishment
i of a two years’ medical course at the col
| lege. It is hoped that by next fall both
j of these new undertakings will be well
! under way.
It was last night at the alumni meet
j ing that the decision was reached to
j build a Alumni Hall. The suggestion
. came from Mr. J. W. Bailey, of Raleigh.
Mr. W. E. Daniel, of Weldon, was chosen
j chairman of a committee to canvass the
| alumni for the purpose of raising money
] for the erection of the hall. The pur
| poses of the building will be determined
upon after a conference with the faculty.
Each of the two literary societies, the
Philomaiheainn and the Euzelian. has al
leadv on hand a fund devoted to this
purpose.
It was also decided at the meeting last
night to have a big alumni banquet in
I connection with the next commencement.
Mr. J. V. Bailey, of Raleigh, editor of
the Biblical Recorder, was chosen alumni
orator for 1903, with Solicitor G. W.
Ward, of Elizabeth City, as alternate.
This morning, at the meeting of the
Beard of Trustees, the movement for the
Medical Department was inaugurated. It
was decided to establish a two years’
| course of instruction in medicine, and a
committee was appointed to make all
necessary preliminary arrangements to
this end. such as selecting available men
to he elected to the faculty by the trus
tees. It *s not proposed to give degrees
in medicine, but merely to establish such
a two years' course as will be accepted
at any of the great universities and be
counted for the work of the first two
years. The desire is to have the depart
ment readv to open by next fal’, and the
Board of Trustees will be called togeth
er by the chairman of the committee for*
the purpose of selecting a faculty, when
ever the preliminary arrangements shall
have been made. The committee consists
of Rev. Livingstone Johnston, of Cary,
chairman: Mr. J. W. Bailey, of Raleigh;
and Mr. W. N. Jones, of Raleigh.
Both of these movements mean much
for Wake Forest and for North Carolina.
The commencement season of 1902 will
be a memorable one in more ways than
one. Not only will it be recalled as one
of the most brilliant in the history of the
college, but also as the time when some
of the college’s later history was made.
COM MENCEMENT DAY.
This morning occurred the commence
ment day exercises proper. A tremendous
crowd filled Memorial Hall beyond its
real capacity, and the scene was a beau
tiful one, with the great number of ladies
in the audience with the light colored
summer dresses and flowers and pictu.r- 1
hats, the dignified and august faculty
„ upon the platform with the graduating
j class in academic gowns and mortar
; boards, and at the back of the hall, in the
gallery, the Richmond Band, one of the
host bands in the whole South, pouring
forth sweet melody.
First came prayer, offered beautifully
by Rev. J. A. Campbell, of Buie’s Creek.
; Then, after music by the band, earnc
i the orations ol the graduates, as fol-
