THE ONE HUNDRED AND SECOND COMMENCEMENT DAT. Ussting of tit Alanal snls CIsm Kx relaea OegrMt ConArmsd on Grsdastsi Annual Addrea by Bon TV. L. Wilson. , Tli Alumni Banqaek Beply of ZJaaten ant'Oovernor Beynolds to - the Tout North Carolina and her University."- University of North Carolina,: Chapel Hill, N. C, June 2. This was the 102nd commencement day at this university, and it was made de lightful by perfect weather, a large at tendance and Interest, and by a well ar ranged programme. The opening event of the day Was the meeting of the Alumni Association, over which Thomas S. Kenan presided. Just before noon the academic processloneformed and marched to Memo rial hall. It was composed of the seniors, President Alderman and the faculty, and trustees. The noble hall was filled with an audience which worthily represented the state. Four of the seniors delivered orations A. T. Allen on "The Relation of Govern ment to Freedom;" X. ' B. Smith on "America in Civilization ;" Donald Melver oaComfllct - Between Know Ingr'anfl TeeK ing;' S. B. Shepherd on "The Growth of Law." Theses were presented by the other thirty-eight members of the graduating class of forty-two that by Arthur Wil liam Belden, of Wilmington, being on "The Relation of the Industries to the Advancement of Chemical Science." The chief event of the day was the ad dress by Hon. William L. Wilson, presi dent of Washington and Lee university, who w.as introduced by President Alder man. " i His theme was a quotation from John C. Calhoun, - "Liberty is a reward to be earned; a reward reserved for -the intelli gent, the patriotic, the virtuous' and the deserving," and the speaker said: "This is the generalization of true statesmanship and this Is the fixed law of Providence. This university owed Its foundation to the belief so earnestly entertained and so often acted upon by the fathers of the republic that their work was foredoomed to failure unless the free government they established could be buttressed for all time by the school house, the college and th university. Hence the men who. found ed commonwealths founded schools. Of all the cheering statements in President Al derman's address, none, in my judgment, throws so certain and bright an augury over the future which this university faces as his enumeration of the young men who, by their own efforts, and in part by occupations which, if not dignified by high purpose, might almost be called menial, are working their way, through difficulty and obstacle, to university edu cation and to the power, influence and responsibility which university education brings in a democratic country. From such youths we have learned to expect much. They have enriched every field of human endeavor. This university may fit the young men of North Carolina to become Intelligent planters, successful merchants, scholars and teachers, clergy, men, physicians and lawyers, but It must likewise fit all of them for the high and strenuous office of citizenship. The idea that is today the most dangerous of all our delusions is that free institutions are an easy thing to establish, an easy thing to perpetuate. . "Of the two original contributions which the people made to the constitution, the electoral system for choosing president and vice president, and the supreme court, t the former was speedily nullified by the development of party systems they did not anticipate, and the other has become a bulwark of freedom and a balance wheel of government. There is today and there can be no stable freedom save his toric freedom Even universal suffrage means little. The living spirit of freedom Is In the political training, individual en lightenment and morality of the people. And becausa liberty is the noblest re ward for the development of our moral and intellectual faculties there 4s an in defensible obligation on every great school of learning to fit successive generations to earn this reward and to receive, preserve and transmit it by safer title deeds t those who eome .after them. The ques tion of a system of federal taxation and of disbursement which shall operate even ly on individuals and sections is beset with greater difficulties than in the day of Clay. The question of a stable and enlightened eystem of banking and currency equally adapted to every class and section is harder to deal wth in 1897 than it was in the time of Jackson, and Benton. The dividing line between federal and state sovereignty has been swinging back and forth ever since the close of the civil war. The still more important question of the proper sphere of governmental activity and of Individual freedom with its subor dinate question whether we are to seek prosperity from laws of congress or in dividual effort, is raised, as it never was raised before In our political , discussions, in our party platforms and in numberless schemes of legislation. Then there are new Issues the development and consoli dation of railways, the growth of trusts and other would-be monopolies, the re lation of races which invite and may re quire the modaratjpg hand of law to ad Just their relations to a system of free government. How shall we deai with such a succession of old and new questions by universal suffrage? Whether Jefferson and nJivAiaan wmild hold a commanding and life long irdiueHC.e n yirginia today, or the Adamses in Massachusetts, or Calhoun in goiUh Car0jina, or Nathani&l Macon in Nttrth Carolina, are questions we may not -olTtlcs Wh thought; who t . . .

But 1 am tP respond to 'North Carolina and Her University,' and 1 do so with pleasure, for during my short life I have seen the university emerge from & college where young men were prepared - to. be orna ments to society, to, a university where young men are moulded into useful citi zens to build, beautify, ennoble and en rich our glorloujL old state. Thirty yoaxa ago X Ant landed in Chapel Hill, and ven a lata at that data th influence of slavery still spread its black pall over this institution. Notwithstanding the fact that our declaration ot independence starts out, after th preamble, with these words: 'we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal;' till, born with the blood of the lords whom Cromwell drove .out of England in our veins, and with the feudal idea, fos tered and cultivated by the institution of slavery, a college was considered the place prepared specially for the rich, and the young man with the metal in him to work his way through college would have been looked upon as hardly fit to associate with gentlemen. As a result, all the sci entific ideas in the south came from our more thrifty and industrious neighbors of the north and east. Going upon this idea the south grew a set of gentlemen who were most excellent Judges of a race horse or a fox hound, who played whist and chess with the skill of an adept, but who, while they were really a splendid race of men and were gems in the social world, were nothing but gems, and, there fore, our minerals remained hidden in our mountains, our water powers ran to waste, our - manufactures languished and our gardens were unknown. But today all is changed. There are no higher types of manhood than-the young men who are working their way through college here and in the future North Carolina will fee known - and honored for these- very sons who will climb to the top round of the ladder and smile in the strength of their own manhood at the barriers ' in their way. From the ante-bellum college to polish gentlemen we now have a univer sity to build men. The little appropria tion the state gives annually is the germ which is sure to be cultivated here to grow and ripen into fruit, in these young men who will yield a thousandfold back to bless her in the near future. Today the doctrine that all men are created equal is believed and preached hereand a model democracy exists at Chapel Hill. The sun of science nowhere shines more brightly than ,here in North Carolina. Old prejudices are gone, pluck and man hood are recognized as the most noble traits of character. The old question, 'Who was your grandfather, or uncle or father?' has given place to the more per tinent one of 'Who are you?' Men are now respected for what they are, rather than for what some member of their fam ily was in the long forgotten past. 'What are you? This is the question of the hour and our university is teaching" and pre paring our young men to answer In truth and in fact, 'I am a man.' " Warren G. Elliott responded to the toast, "The University in the Industrial Development of the State;" Lee S. Ovr man to the toast, "Citizenship." Presi dent Alderman read extracts from a letter from ex-Senator Ransom. Three cheers were given W. L. Wilson, Washington and Lee university and Lieutenant Governor Reynolds. Mr. Wilson, responding to calls, said he was delighted at- the work done, at this university, and that this more than any university he had ever visit.ed rests right upon the people, for whose special benefit it was established. This evening the University Glee Club gave a concert In Girard hall. The junior class honors are won by Peter H. Elery, Archibald Henderson, C. H. Johnston, J. G. McCormlck, P. W. Mc Mullan, J. D. Parker, E. E. Sams. The highest sophomore honors are won by J. R. Carr, T. J. Hill, and W. F. Bryan wins the highest freshman honors. The alumni met his morning and ap pointed E. A. Alderman, F. D. Winston, C. D. Mclver, Claudius Dockery and Rev. N. H. D. Wilson to take charge of alumni association matters and to secure the name of every living alumnus and In duce him to join the association and to have an iniation fee of $1, to be devoted to the pubicatibn of an alumni annual, this to be sent each alumnus, the purpose being to promote fellowship and keep all informed of the progress of the university and to preserve the records of Individual alumni,. The association has in the past five years aided twenty-five students in obtaining education. Lee S. Overman, Zeb Vance Walser and R. H. Lewis were judges of the senior orations, which were for the Willie P. Mangum medal, and awarded this coveted prize to David Baird Smith. Donald Mc lver was awarded a special certificate in geology. ' ' F. A. OLDS. The Spanish Ministry Resigns. Madrid, June 2. The premier, Senor Canovas del Castillo, has tendered to the queen regent the resignation of the cabi net, owing to the difficulty the ministers experience In carrying on the government in view of the parliamentary situation, caused by the refusal of the liberals to take part In the deliberations of the cortes. This attitude of the liberals is due to the personal encounter between the Puke of Tetuan, the minister for foreign affairs, and president Comas, a liberal senatpr, on May 2ist, when the duke slap ped the face" of the senator after a heated debate on the Morgan belligerency reso lution adopted by the United States sen- The queen regent will hold a cabinet council tomorrow In order to discuss the situation, " London, June 2. The Madrid corre spondent of the Times says: The queen regent has accepted the resignation of the cabinet of Senor Canovas del Castillo. It has caused a profound sensation. . Be fore finally taking this step her majesty begged Senor Canovas to remain in office until the morrow in order that she might have another opportunity to consider the matter in council, but this only meant that the resignation would be accepted. Senor Canovas tendered his resignation because he could not again undertake to re-establish relations with the liberals. Re preferred to leave to the crown full liberty to decide on the best solution. Both houses of the cortes voted without debate the financial supplies necessary, to enable the cortes to adjourn sine die, and granted authority for the issue pf treasury bonds and the contraction -of loans guaranteed by the Spanish treasury to cover the expenses of the wars in Cuba and the Phlllipine islands, . with a special lien on the revenue of Spain for the Cuban war loan. The queen regent then signed th' decree suspending the sittings, whereupon Senor Canovas immediately tendered, his resignation. j.--.. " Mr. Calhoun Silent. Havana, June 2.

Hughey pitch ed a steady, effective game for Pitts burg this afternoon,, the hits made off his delivery being scattered through five innings and the Phillies were con sequently easy victims. Orth was hit harder than the score indicates, par ticularly in the innings in Which the Visitors scored. Pitcher Oarsey and Catcher Gradv have been exchanged for Catcher McFarland of St. Louis. Grady is willing to go to St. Louis but Carsey declares that he will not. If the latter remains obdurate, the deal may be blocked.

IN THE SENATE. OOOO PROGRESS MADE ON THX2 TARIFF BILL. Uasaooeaaral Xffbrt to Have Cottoa Ties Placed on tho Free List With th Wheat Growers' Binding Twine Senator Tea Oats tho Duty on Anvils Redneed Sanaa tor Tillman's Resolution of Inquiry Into - tho Dispensary Decision of Judge Simon ton, " ; -s v" ' Washington, June 2. The senate made greater progress on the tariff bill today than in any day since the de bate opened, completing more than half of the Important metal schedule. The speaking was done by the der-, ."ratic senators, the republican " senators lak ing no part in "the debate, .except at rare intervals, to answer questions which would expedite the advance of the bill. Senators Jones, of Arkansas, and Vest urged numerous amendments, em bodying in the main the Wilson rates, but these were rejected with only one exception. This exception related to anvils, on which Senator Vest secured a reduction of the committee rate from 2 to 1 cents per pound. It was the first change made without the assent of the committee and it was due main ly to the listless manner of many sen ators In voting. Early in the day. Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, secured the adoption of the following: J "Whereas, the supreme court of the j United States declared in the case of Leisy versus Hardin, that no state had the right to prohibit the sale of liquor within its own borders In original pack- ages, upon the ground that it was an interference with inter-state commerce and, - li .. "Whereas, in order to give relief to the people of Iowa congress passed what is known as the Wilsondaw (Wil son law is then quoted), and. ; ... "Whereas, under the authority there in granted the state of South Carolina in December 1892, passed the dispensary law under which provision is made for the sale of liquor by state officers under strict restrictions and rules; and, "Whereas, under this system expe rience has shown that the cause of tem perance has been advanced and the good order and quiet of the state have been promoted, there being now less than 100 dispensaries In place of up wards of 800 barrooms In 1892, and "Whereas, a circuit judge of the United States court, by judicial legis lation in a recent decision, has repealed the act of congress above recited as far as South Carolina is concerned, thus requiring that state to re-open the barroom or allow thef ree and un limited sale of liquor in original pack ages; therefore, be it "Resolved, That the judiciary com mittee of the senate be instructed to consider what legislation, if any, is nec essary to restore to South Carolina the right granted by the act of August 8, 1890, to control the sale of alcoholic liquors within its own borders in its own way in common with other states of this union." Senator Tillman spoke briefly in sup port of the resolution, saying the pub lic impression that the dispensary law was a money making device was er roneous and that it had accomplished much good in regulating the liquor traffic. Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia, felt that the senate should not be com mitted to the lengthy preamble reciting the effect of the law etc Senator Tillman -modified the pream ble so as to avoid the term "judicial legislation" In characterizing the recent decision and substituting "judical in terpretation." Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, chairman of the judiciary committee proposed a substitute, omitting all the preamble and simply directing the ju diciary committee to consider and re port, by bill or otherwise, what legis lation, if any, is necessary to carry out the statute of 1890 relating to com merce between the states. Senator Tillman accepted the substi tute and it was agreed to. Senator Stewart, populist, of Nevada, preceded the tariff debate by. offering an amendment proposing the mainte nance of a treasury reserve of $125, 000,000 and the retirement of bonds out of the surplus above $125,000,000. He stated that a previous amendment of fered by him might lead to injecting the silver question into the tariff debate, so that he preferred to strip the ques tion of everything beyond a regulation of the treasury reserve. The consideration of the tariff bill be gan with schedule C, relating to metals and manufactures of metals. The first paragraph, on iron ore etc., went over at the request of Senator Quay. The paragraphs on iron in pigs and on bar iron were the same in the house and senate bills. Senator Jones, of Ar kansas, took occasion, however, to make a statement to show the absurd ity, he said, of keeping up the taxes on these products when the American pro ducer had absolute control of the mar ket and shipped large quantities abroad. - A discussion arose on paragraph 125, relating to hoop, band and scroll iron, including the bands used in baling cot ton. Senator Vest pointed out that the McKinley rate was 2-10 cents: the Wilson bijl made cotton ties free and the senate bill now proposed to make the rate 7-10 cent Der pound. Cotton was so depressed that the restoration of duty was not warranted, he said. Senator Mills, of Texas, also opposed the rate, saying it was equivalent to 10 cents a bale on cotton, or $900,000 on a cotton crop of 9,000,000 bales. Why was this distinction made between the north and south? he ked. Why did the north t receive free binding twine while the cotton ties of the south were taxed?; . Senator Bacon, of Georgia called on the committee to explain too dlatlne tion between the whe.at jrrowers of the north and the cotton growers of the south- There was no resopnse and Sen ator Vest offered an amendment to strike cotton ties from the dutiable list The amendment was defeated yeas. 21: nay?, 28, and the paragraph was agreed to as reported. un tne Yest amendment on cotton ties Messrs. Prltchard. of North Car olina and Deboe, of Kentucky, were the only men from southern sections voting in the- negative. Messrs. Harris, of Kansas; ieitieia and Kyle voted with democrats in the affirmative and Messrs. Jones of Nevada, and Stewart witn the republicans in the negative.
