Manila, May 13 Aguinaldo has is sued an order that all foreigrers must leave the insurgent territory within forty eight hours. Only a few com mercial men are here, mostly English and German.

A Filipino priest has brought to Rev.

The work at Guilford College for the year 1898-'99 was closed by the ex ercises of commencement day, May the 9th. Tbe weather was most favorable and the attendance the largest in the history of the institution, the capacity of Memoral Hall being tested for the first time. On the 28th of April, the exercises of commencement week began with the close and an interesting oratorical contest by bU young men from the Websterian Literary. Society. Mr Thomas Hlnton. who, the year before, won the Improvement Medal in the same society, was the successful speak er. The improvement medal, this year, was won by Mr. vharles Davis. On the following evening, the 29th, six young men from the Henry Clay Society, spoke for the prize, and made it hard for the judges to decide who should be the victor. Mr. Alvin Parker, of High Point, was the suc cessful, speaker. The Improvement Medal was won by Mr. Walter Hoi lowell, of Perquimans county. On the evening of May the 6th, a publie lecture was given by Prof. Or mond Stone, director of the Astrono mical Observatory of the University of Virginia. ..The subject of the ad dress was, "The Present Day Problems of Astronomy," which was treated in so lucid a manner as to render the whole presentation a very useful and interesting one. On Sunday, the 7th, a very able and helpful sermon was preached by Rjv J. W. Stagg, of ( harlotte, who re mained at the college and preached a second sermon at the regular Sabbath e'venir g meeting. His service was felt to be most helpful. The Guilford College scholarship to the best student finishing the prepara tory department was awarded to Miss Muriel L. Lowe, of Randolph county. The Ha verford -college annual schol arship of $300, to the best scholar of tbe young men ofthe graduating class was awarded to Mr. William w . Allen, Jr., of Greensboro, whose ora tion on Tennyson's Influence on Re ligious Thought, elicited special praise. The Bryn Mawr scholorship of $100, awarded annually to the best scholar of the yourg women of the graduating class- was awarded to Miss Elizabeth White Coffin, of Texas. It was stated by the president, that of the eight young women, who, in as many years, have been elected to the Bryn Mawr scholarship, tlx during their senior year have received first grade on all studies, and that Miss Coffin is one of these six. Mr. John W. Lewis, in his oration on the "Virginia Colony" paid a glowing tribute to Virginia for the leading part taken by her great states men in this great forward movement for liberty in the American colonies. Miss Coffin'r oration on England's colonial policy showed a wide and ac curate knowledge of the expansion of England. The baccalaureaie address made by Rufus M. Jones of Haverford College, was without doubt, one of the most helpful and edifying addresses ever made at Guilford. It was a powerful presentation of the fundamental prin ciples of Christianity, and a clear set t'ng forth of the appeal which tbe gos pel makes not only to reason but to the whole man. The address will re main in the minds of all who heard it as the outflowing of a mind and heart aglow with love to God and man. The exercises closed about one o'clock, and at three o'clock a base ball game between the alumni and the college was mueh enjoyed on the beaut iful lawn by a large company of spec tators. The college proved too much for the alumni. The annual alumni reception was., held in Memorial hall at 9 p. m., and was much enjoyed by all who were present. Speeches were made by Pres ident Hobbs, Prof. R. N. Wllkon and Rev. Jamea R. Jones, also by repres entatives from about eight classes. This closed one of the most prosper ous years the institution has ever ex perienced. The great improvements in the way of buildings, equipments, dairyfarm, and the recent introduction of abundant supply of water, all point to a useful future for Guilford college. 4 The fleeting at Centenary. Rev. W. L. Grissom preached for Mr. Wagg at Centenary church last night and made a most forcible dis course. The congregation was large and paid strict attention.

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS QUESTION He Thinks, is Now In a Satisfactory Way for Final Settlement Other Notes of Interest. Special to The Telegram. Washington, May 13 Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, Is in the city for a few days attending to some matters before the dep irtment in which his state is interested. The Senator in speaking yesterday as to the proppects, politically, in Ken'ucky, said that the indications point to warm campaign in the state. The Senator is a gold democrat, and not affiliating with the silver wing, of the party. He therefore refused to say anything as to the probable nominee of the democratic state convention to succeed Governor Bradley, nor would he predict the probable outcome of the election in Kentucky this coming fall. The Senator, it is believed, however, will support the nominee of of the democratic convention for gov ernor this year. Among other Ken tucky democrats there is strong talk of the nomination of Hon. Wat. P. Hardin for governor again. Hardin, it will be remembered, was defeated at the last gubernatorial election by Governor Bradley, republican. In speaking about the prospects for an extra session of congress, Senator Lindsay stated that in his opinion an extra session will not be called. He says that so far as he can see there is nothing in the present situation which would warrant the calling of an extra session in October. He thinks that the Philippine question is now in a satis factory way for final settlement, and he does not think that there will be any necessity for legislation upon this question prior to the regular session in December. As to the speakership contest, he thinks that it will be set tled by the time congress meets. Noth ing would be done before the Christ mas holidays in the way of important legislation. Senator Lindsay will be in the city for several days before returning to Kentucky. Dr. Harper, President of the Vir ginia democratic association, has re turned to Washington from the con ference held at Richmond this week. Many delegates to the convention have passed through Washington on their way home. Among the number is Col. R. Walton Moore, who is men tioned as Senator Martin's successor. Several Virginia people who have been seen since the convention adjourn ed, express the opinion that the state committee may order a convention for the nomination of a candidate to suc ceed Senator Martin, but the prevail- ng opinion seems to be that they will not do so. Laton Turner, of North Carolina, was arrested in this city Thursday af ternoon by deputy marshall Lee Ross, upon a warrant issued by Commis sioner Mills, predicted upon a bench warrant of the United States district court, of North Carolina. Turner is under Indictment in the state for unlaw fully having certain revenue stamps in his possession When apprehended he was taken tefore the commissioner, and held in the default of ball in the sum of $1,500. He was committed to jail, and will be turned over to the deputy marshall of North Carolina. It is announced that the navy yard employes will receive pay for the holi day which was ordered at the time of the burial of the soldiers at Arlington some time ago. The attorney general has just approved of the opinion of Assistant Attorney General Boyd, who argued that the men had not quit work of their own motion, but on the order of the president, who directed that all departments be closed.

C.is stopping at the St. James Hotel for a few days. Whatever may be the case in other southern States, so far as North Caro lina and Virginia are concerned, there s said to be practically no opposition to the renomin&tion of Col. Bryan. Persons from those two States say that Bryan will get the solid delegations in the next convention. Come and see the CLEVELAND ex hibit at Temple's, 115 E. Market Btreet.

Host Enjoyable Affair at Mr. Rankin's Last Evening. The elegant home of Mr. A. L Ran kin, on Ashboro street, was the scene of mirth and enjoyment last evening, the occasion being a church social, given by the Ladies' Aid Society of Westminister Presbyterian church, that the members of that church might become better acquainted. The rooms and porches were brilliantly lighted, the latter, with Japanese lanterns and everything was correspondingly beau tiful. Instrumental music was furnished by Miss Pugh, and Messrs. Forbis and Elam and Mr. Frank Blount added greatly to the delight of the occasion by the faultless rendition of a beauti ful vocal solo. At 11 o'clock delicious refreshments were served. The church social is given semi-oc casional j for the purpose mentioned above and is always a pleasant affair, but none formerly given have sur passed, in genuine pleasure, that given at Mr. Rankin's last night, and it will be long remembered by those who attended.
