You are no more proud of the honors you have won toduy than Peace is lu granting them. You are worthy . daughters of a worthy mother. Commencement Address, Peace could not have been more fortunate in her selection of a com mencement orator than in securing Dr. W. S. Currell, of Washington and Lee University. ' Rich in humor and mimicry, with a fund of anecdotes and striking illustrations and an in imitable story teller, he spiced his witty address with many witty inci dents and sayings that made It a de light to listen to him. It. was also an address full of thought and research, one to insnire young ladies, entering Into a wider plane of. life. Hp spoke of the pleas ure he felt In commencements,' .all of which are different. Everyone is In terested In the beginning and end of everything.' "The nations of the world, sJust now," he said, "are Inflected with the disease of territorial expansion. They are only following out the law of aspiration that goes far beyond achievement. "If the enormous reserve power works in the natural and physical world why not In the spiritual and intellectual world. Why not have the progress along spiritual and intel lectual lines that has been made in the material world. The physical and ' Intellectual sphere reach their limit eventually, there is only one capable of un limited expausion, that of the spirit ual sphere. ; "We of tor hear the cry ttiare is no more poetry because Browning and Tennyson are dead, and no more (Continued nn .

(By Cable to The Times) Christiana, Norway, May 26 A yenmg American sailor Is under ar rest at Frederlckstad, near Chris tiana, as a self-confessed murderer. He told big captain that he helped Mrs. Belle Gunness kill four persons on her farm near Laporte, Ind., and that he then killed Mrs, Gunness her self. The mnn did not Impress the captain as being Insane, tut as one forced by his conscience to tell the truth. The sailor Is now under obServa tion as to his mental condition. The case has been reported to H. D, Pierce, the American minister to Norway. The housT- occupied by Mrs. Gun ness was burned with all its occu pants on April 28, 1908, and the wo. man's numerous crimes were -then revealed.

BETTING VERY HEAVY For the First the King's Colers Were Swept to Victory in the Derby Al though He Won Twice us the Prince of Wales Large Crowd at Track, King and Queen Occupying Itoyal Box Sir Mart in, on Whom Hopes of American; Centered, Not in the Winning and His:-' Backers Part With a Half Million Dollars. (By Cable to The Times) . " ' . London, Hay 26 Minoru, King Edward's horse,' won the classic der by today, with' Jones ''up,, at Epsom Downs. This is the first time the King's colora have been swept to vic tory in tlie derby, although he won twice as the Pr inc.? of Wales, before ascending the throne.; Minoru carried this royal colors un der the wire before one of the largest u.iid most 'fashionable throngs that over scanned the historic track on derby day. King Edward and Queen Alexandria occupied the King's box and applauded heartily as Jockey Jones swung Minoru into the stretch and the lean three year old cold pat tered home as though he knew he was carrying the royal colors. The hopes of the Americans crash ed in Sir Martin, the entry of Louis Winans. It Is estimated that nearly half a mlllin.-Uollars was lost tyt Str Martin's backers. The array of rich Americans at. the track had backed the three year old American horse eight loyally. The betting was extremely heavy. A constant flood of gold poured upon the bookmakers. : W. Raphael's Louviere was second arid Lord Fichelman's William the Fourth, was third. The defeat of Sir Martin struck home keener by reason of the fact that he did not even show. On a straight-away turf with out undulations and with a fast track the result might have been dif ferent... William the fourth was hot looked upon as a serious contender before the race and the odds offered were so long that onlythose freaks in the betting ring who look to fate to aid them backed him. Louviere showed splendid form and indicated that he Is a mudder of the first-quality. The American contingent at the track remained loyal-to Sir Martin. When the barrier was flung up and the glossy-coated thoroughbreds spun down the course, a great silence fell upon the multitude. The bugle which had assembled the entrants from the paddock was the signal for a rush. In a few moments Minoru took the lend with the mud and water splashing from his flying hoot's. A cry Went up from the British 'crowd. The Americans felt that Sir Martin was being held in check for the grand finish but they were mistaken. Mi nora won with what apopared to ue ease. A groan went up from the crowd of Americans present who had backed Sir Martin in their patriotic pride with their good American dol lars.' Threatening weather blew up early today but the rain which fell through the morning hours did not dampen the ardor of those who hurried to wards Epsom Downs. The heavy condition of the track threw a scare into backers of Sir Martin and it was conceded all day that the weather conditions would have fully as much to do with deter mining yie outcome of t ho race as tiie form of the entries themselves. There was a betting flurry In fa ror of Phaleron, the horse owned by the multi-millionaire Duke of Port land, which Is known as a good mud der. The Duke, when he saw the condition of tho course, hacked Ills horse Very heavily. As post time approached there was a rush to get on Bayardo, and his price was Jammed down to 7 to 1, both Sir Martin and Rien On Valens going back considerably. In the sec ond betting Minoru still ruled the fa vorite at B to 2. Sir Martin was held at 6, Bayardo at 7, and Valens at 9. . The plunge on Bayardo was due entirely to tho statement of his owner and trainer that he was fully a atone better In soft going Towards noon It cleared off before the race, v NO CHANGE IN SITUATION OF Conferences Being Held But So Far Nothing Has Been Accomplished.

It Is believed that nothing definite was accomplished but it is .under stood that the tenor of the confer ence showed a marked change in the attitude of General Manager Scott, which induced hopes of an early and amicable settlement, of the trouble. ; Heneral Manager Scott later spent an hour with Commissioner of Labor Nelll. During this meeting Mr, acott thoroughly outlined his own position in the controversy and Mr. Neil! then expressed a desire to hear the strikers' side. Vice President Ball, of the Firemcns' Union, and his counsel then called upon CommiS' sioner Nelll. With reference to their conference Mr. Ball this morning said: . "Nothing at all definite resulted. We simply placed our side of the matter before Mr. Neill. "I don't believe that the develop ments of Tuesday and Tuesday night made much progress toward an ad justment of the differences between the road and the firemen." Regarding the rumor that certain Georgia Railroad trains would be permitted to run pending the settle' ment of the strike, Mr. Ball disclaim ed all knowledge of any such move ment. The strikers, he said, would maintain their position consistently, having perfect confidence in their cause and the ultimate outcome of the strike. Plans For Handling Mails.

Fcr sev eral years past Germany has been in- reasing her aiJniy and navy to an larming extent, while England, apart from voting to build battleships, has done nothing, but on the contrary has organized a territorial army, doing away with the volunteers.

(By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington. May 26 A protocol which provides for arbitration of thi so-called Emery claim, a vexatious matter which has been pending" he tweeu tha United Slates and Nica ragua for about two years and u half, was signed last night in the home of Secretary of State Knox. : The case has been the subject of two communications, to the Nicara- guan government, which .practically amounted to ultimatums.. The state department is greatly grat illed over the settlement. The protocol signed last night provides for a tribunal of live mem bers, two -representing the United States, two Nicaragua and the fifth to be chosen by the four representa lives. If the four members repre senting the United States and Nicara ragua are unable to agree on the fifth member the king of England will name the man. The Emery claim grew out of a mahogany ; concession , granted In 1898. Tho concession was to run for. a term of years, In which Hie concessionaries were to pay the Nica raguan government certain sums of money and also a tax on logs taken from the country. The company en joyed the privilege of bringing in all necessary working material free of duty. 3'ho terms of the concession provided that any dispute should be settled by arbitration by a tribunal of three members, one chosen by each side and the third by these two arbitrators. The company renounced its right to diplomatic recourse. In the summer of 1903 the company was accused by the government of smuggling.

This is the story that is told on the board by men who know what Is going on. That It sent wheat for the May delivery booming up another notch and to a new high mark was the result that followed Patten's em phatic declaration. The bears, the shorts, panic-stricken, rushed Into the pit and began to buy and buy and buy. By fractions of a cent a bushel' the. 'price advanced until it had touched $1.354.
