CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 28. AlthouBh
nominally celebrating with hie olasg-mai.es
the twrnty-nfth annlveraary of the class of
'80, from Harvard university. President
Roosevelt was today the honored guest of
America's most ancient eat of learning.
No degrees of honor were conferred upon
Mm as he already holds the highest degree
the university ! empowered to bestow,
but tho welcome accorded him by Cam
bridge citizens, alumni and college of
ficials was most cordial.
The president entered heartily Into the
spirit of commencement day and played a
lending part In all the functions Incident
to the occasion. It was scarcely 9 o'clock
this morning when the lieutenant governor
representing the commonwealth, called at
the home of Bishop William Lawrence,
where the president spent the night, to
escort him to the Harvard yard, where
the academic procession was to form for
the march to Saunders' theater, the scene
of the commencement exercises. The num
ber receiving degrees from Harvard today
aggregated 999, and included seven hon
orary degrees.
Makes Three Speeches.
Following the commencement exercises
the president made three public addresses
one at the Harvard union, a second and
the principal one of the tour, at the alumn
dinner In Memorial hall, and a third from
the steps of Memorial hall to the members
of the alumni who could not gain admit
tance to the Memorial hall exercises.
The speech In Memorial hall, which was
a general discussion of the mission of the
college, evoked the greatest enthusiasm,
Besides the more pretentious events to
day, the president's program included
brief visit to the Germanic museum, where
he sent a cablegram to the German era
peror, thanking him for his gifts to liar
vard; an informal reception at the home
of President Eliot of Harvard; luncheon
at the 1'orcelaln club, and at the chief
marshal's headquarters In University hall
tea at the residence of President Albert
Bushenell Hart and a dinner at the Somer
set club.
During the early evening the president
found' time fbF a Conference with Secretary
Taft on matters relating to the Panama
canal, and also to give attention to cer
tain cipher messages which had been re
ceived from Washington. It was arranged
that the president should go to his car
before midnight, although the train would
not leave until 2 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The train goes to Bridgeport, where the
party will board the yacht Sylph for Oys
ter Bay.
Addreaa br the President.
At the alumni exercises President Roose
velt was the principal speaker. Ho said:
A great university like this has two espe
cial functions. The first Is to produce a
small number of scholars of the highest
rank, a small number of men who. In
science and literature, or In art, will do
productive work of tne first class. The
second Is to send out Into the world a
very large number of men who never
could achieve, and who ought not to try
to achieve, such a position In tho field of
scholarship, but whose energies are to be
felt In every form of activity; and who
should go out from our doors with the
balanced development of body, of mind.
anl above all, of character, which shall
fit them to do work both honorable ami
efficient.
Much of the effort to accomplish the
first function, that of developing men capa
ble of productive scholarship, as dis
tinguished from merely imitative, annota
tlve, or pedagogic scholarship, must come
through the graduate school. The law
school and medical school do admirable
work In tilting men for special professions,
but they In no shape or way supply any
shortcomings In the graduate school any
more than does the college proper, the col
lege of the undergraduates. Ihe Ideal for
the graduate school and for those under
graduates who are to go into It must be
the lder.l of high scholarly production,
which is to be distinguished in the sharp
est fashion from the mere transmittal of
ready-made knowledge without adding to
it. If America la to contribute its full
share, to the progress not alone of knowl
edge, but of wisdom, then we must put
ever Increasing emphasis on university
work done along the lines' of the graduate
school. We can best help the growth
of American scholarship by seeing that as
a career it la put more on a level with
the other careers open to our young men.
Make It It emnneratlve.
Tin scholarly career, the career of the
man of letters, tho man of arts, the man
of science, must be made such as to attract
those strong and virile youths who now
f,. that thev can onlv turn to business.
law or politics. There Is no one thing
which will bring about this desired change,
Inn tlinra is unit thlna which will materially
help in bringing it about, and that Is to
secure to scholars the chance of getting
one of a few brilliant positions as prixes if
they rise to the Itrst rank in their chosen
career. Every such brilliant position should
have as an accompaniment un added sal
vi. lil. n shall tielD Indicate how high
the position really is; and it must bo Uti
enorts of the alumni which can alone se
cure such salaries for such positions.
As u people 1 think we are waking up
to the fact that there must be better pay
for the average man and average woman
engaged In the work of education. But
1 am not speaking of tills now; 1 am not
speaking of the desirability, great though
that U, of giving better payment to the
average educator, I aui speaking of the de
sirability ul giving to the exceptional! man
the chance of winning an exceptional prise,
lust us he has the chance to do in law and
buslnoss. In business at the present day
nothing could be more healthy than an
Immense reduction In the money value of
the exreptlonal prlies thus to be won; but
In scholarship what Is needed Is the reverse.
In this country we lightly go upon the
theory that It Is more important to care for
the welfare of the average man than to put
u premium upon the exertions of the ex
ceptional. But we must not forget that
the establishment of such a premium for
the exceptional, l hough of less Importance.
Is nevertheless of very great importance.
It Is Important evert to the development
of the average man. for the average of all
of us In raised by tho work of the great

' it Is, I trust, unnecessary to say that I

compensation. And much of the work

Orientals have carried the boycott to the
extent that In many Instances Importers
are having great difficulty In the unloading
of American products.
'There can be no doubt that there Is a
determined effort afoot In China whereby It
Is hoped to bring pressure to bear upon
the United 8tates through the medium of
a boycott," said Mr. Bellows. "The object,
as has already been exploited, Is to force
this country to grant more liberal treat
ment to merchants and other Chinese who
travel In tne United States.
"All over China the guilds, which are sim
ilar to our boards of trade, arc using their
utmost Influence to bring about the desired
effect. Many are hnrkenlng to their
teachings. In the several ports the hands
who are accustomed to unload the Imported
goods have been taught to leave untouched
the merchandise brought from our coun
try. This condition of affairs Is likely to
grow.
"Of course I am not saying how ef
fectual this mode of procedure may prove.
In fact, I think that there Is no great
cause for alarm. Still, we must remember
that In Germany and other nations we
have worthy competitors In the Chinese
trade, and what we lose Is bound to be

ST. PETERSBURG. June 28-At Great

The Novoe Vremya thinks it quite con
celvable that In case of a conflict Great
Britain would aid France to the extent of
destroying the German fleet, and that with
both France and Germany weakened Its
supremacy would be assured for another
half century. The 'Novoe Vremya. how

with Germany. Premier Rouvler's note was
submitted to Russia before it was trans
mltted to the Berlin government. Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff was apprised of every

denied. Russia Is believed to I advlslna-

OBERLIN, O., June 28.-James B. Dill of
New York, In the course of an address to
the graduating class of Oberlln college to
day, delivered a scathing rebuke to men
who misuse positions of honor and trust
for purposes of personal gain. In urging
his hearers to go "back to beginnings" Mr.
Dill contended that "grafting," which was
foreign to the true American character, had
been developed by the mad rush for wealth
and the recognition of false standards by
educated men In the competitive struggle
for business power and social prominence.
"A largo part of our modern prosperity,"
he said, "Is to a perilously large extent
bottomed up on an over-production of fraud
and sham. The crisis Is acute. A feeling
of distrust is growing throughout the coun
try. Many branches of financial business
have been In one way or another taken pos
session of by the unscrupulous for the pur
pose of deceiving the unwary. Trust com
panies have been made the mediums of the
flotation of specious and fraudulent promo
tions. "Some companies In the field of life Insur
ance, the highest and In a sense a sacred
form of Investment, are, as we all know
now, conduits through which the savings
of the policyholders are diverted Into op
erations for speculative purposes.
"Credit and good faith, not money, are
the basis of business. Good or bad, our
modern propriety Is founded on public con
fidence. Take that away and the whole
fabric falls.
"The fact Is that the unprecedented ma
terial growth of the country, the resulting
reatlon of immense private fortunes, the
massing of great aggregations of corporate
capital. Industrial combinations and rail
road mergers, all hove tended to concen
trate the attention of the people upon the
great financial achievements and to estab-
sh In the highest place In the popular
estimation the captains of Industry and
the powerful financiers, little regard being
paid, In making up the judgment, to the
financial virtues of private Individual life,
Public la at Fault.
"Now, whose fault Is this? It Is ours.
It is the fault of public opinion, and public
pinion Is our opinion, yours and mine
yours of me, mine of you, ours of all the
rest. We shottld strive1 to learn to recog-
Ize graft and the grafters, however re
spectable their disguise, and to punish
them, not alone by Imprisonment and fine,
but with all the might of the terrible scorn
of society. We have to recognize that the
seeds of socialism, revolution and anarchy
are sown by the man of our own class and
kind, who pretends to be what he Is not;
hese seeds are cultivated by the grafting
bank officer. Insurance officer, man in
power In financial organisations, In short
by every grafter who In his dealings with
the public departs, openly or secretly, from
old-fashioned ten commandment honesty,
This Indictment of our business life Is
not based upon on Inherent, Incurable de
feet in our American character, but, on
the contrary, these evils are an outgrowth
of our American strenuoslty In the riotous
race for the easy dollar and the many dol
ars. In the hearts of the genulno men
and women of our country there Is an
appreciation of the Importance of charac
ter; the rank and file of the American
people not only believe In, but also stand
for right living and a conscience un
dimmed and unfettered by business envl
ronments.
Therefore, right and honesty' will tri
umph; a saturnalia of graft and an era of
grab will find itself short-lived, speedily
to be ended by . the uplifting Influences of
educated men and women of character."
ILLUMINATING GAS IS FATAL
R. C. Cleveland Found Head In His
Room Ijite Last
Mbt.
R. C. Cleveland, for many years a resi
dent of Omaha, committed suicide by turn
ing on the gas at his home, S04 Burt
street, at midnight Wednesday. Mr. Cleve
land has not been In good health for sev
eral months and went to his room a lit
tle after 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
was not seen again alive. He locked the
door and the family, thinking that he was
sleeping, did not disturb him. A little be
fore 12 o'clock, when Mrs. Cleveland went
to the room, she noticed the odor of
gas doming from the transom, which was
open. Trying the door she found It securely
fastened, and, calling Mrs. A. B. Gilbert,
who lives In the house with the Cleveland
family, they succeeded In opening the
door, only to find Mr. Cleveland lying on
the bed, apparently lifeless. Dr. S. M.
Holt was Immediately called, but all efforts
to revive him were fruitless.
Deceased has been living In Omaha for
nearly twenty years and at one time waa
engaged In the wholesale feed business at
Thirteenth and Nicholas streets. Later he
was In the horse trading business, and was
engaged In this work up to a short time
go when his health failed him.
A son, about 12 years of age, and his
wife is all the family that survive. His
son Is now on a camping trip at Arlington
with a crowd which went from the First
Methodist church some weeks ago.
Coroner Brailey waa notified and at once
took charge of the remains. It is likely
that an Inquest will not be held.

PATRICK STABLE DESTROYED
Ten Thonaand Bnlldlnsf Is Wiped Out
by Fire Horses and Vehicles
Are Saved.
The costly stable at the Patrick home,
known as "Happy Hollow," half a mile
west of Dundee, was completely destroyed
by fire Wednesday afternoon.
The stable was erected at a cost of
110,000 and was fully covered by insur
ance.
Three valuable horses and several fine
carriages were taken from the burning
building without Injury or damage. The
fire was discovered by the coachman, John
Murtath, at 1 o'clock, in the cupola of
the stable. The heat soon was so In
tense that It was Impossible then to make
any efforts to learn the origin of the fire
and In a short while the whole structure
was a mass of ruins. No one at the
Patrick home could give any Idea as to
the origin of the fire.
A telephone message from the Patrick
home conveyed the news of the fire to
Dundee and Omaha. Several fire com
panies responded, but the distance of
Happy Hollow from the nearest water
hydrant rendered the apparatus practically
useless. The Patrick residence was at no
time In danger, the house being 2O0 feet
from the stable and there being little or
no wind at the time of the fire. The
burned stable was 60x60 and of generous
height. It was considered one of the best
maintained stables in or near Omaha.

were not made public.
For General Endowment Fnnd,

says that the Lake Erie & Pittsburg rail
road, now In course of construction be
tween Lorain, O., and Pittsburg, has been
purchased hy tho United States Steel cor
poration at a cost of several million dollars,
the deal, It is said, being the largest rail

expect to handle the majority of Its ore
and finished product between Pittsburg and

PRATT WANTS CLOSER UNION
Organiser of Street Railway Men
Pleads for Better and Per
manent Organisations.
O. C. Pratt of Cleveland, national or
ganlzer of the street railway associations,
addressed the members of the local union
yesterday afternoon and evening. The
great plea of his address was for a better
and more permanent organization anion,
the men in general. His argument was
based on the work that already had been
accomplished.
"Since the first organization In 1S92 wages
In all cities have been Increased from 50
to 100 per cent; from 10, 12 and 14 cent
to 20 and 25," he said. "Butte having the
highest wage, that of S3 cents to start, with
a rise to 37. Twenty-five cities have
nine hour work day, fifty-eight have ten
hours and twenty-two have eleven hours
There is no antipathy against honest labor.
Hard feeling exists only toward the pro
fessional strike breakers."
Speaking of his visit to Colorado Springs
and Colorado conditions, he claims a great
and favorable reaction has begun In favor
of organized labor. People have begun to
realize they must look after the interests
of their own working people. He says the
statement that the unions keep a needy
man from work Is entirely false.

ARGUMENT IN MITCHELL CASE
District Attorney Ileney Mercilessly
Arrnln-ne Aged Defendant for
Subornation of Perjury.
PORTLAND, Ore., June 28. The case of
United States Senator Mitchell will not
go to the Jury before tomorrow night at
the earliest and probably not until some
time Friday. Today was consumed by
District Attorney Heney in finishing his
argument for the prosecution, and when
he completed it court adjourned until to
morrow. Judge Bennett will commence to
speak In behalf of Senator Mitchell to
morrow morning and will be followed by
ex-Senator Thurston. Mr. Heney will then
make his final argument. If time remains
Judge De Haven will give his charge to
morrow. This, however, seems unlikely,
unless the lawyers for the defense con
sume much less time than It Is believed
they will.
Mr. Heney In his argument to the Jury
traced the transactions of the firm in re
lation to land matters from the time the
senator asked for a copy of the firm's
books covering the period from November,
1901, until June, 1902. His arraignment of
the defendant, who he said had been the
cause of the perjury of Judge Tanner and
his son, and whom he charged with an
attempt to subborn his private secretary,
Harry Robertson, to testify In accordance
with the false defense outlined, was merci
less and caused the face of the defendant
to flame and pale with passion.
BABY FALLS FROM CAR WINDOW
Two-Ycar-Old Infant Drops Out
Fast Train and Yet
Alive.
of
J. A. Eyler, general livestock agent of the
Burlington, tells of a miraculous escape of
a 2-yenr old baby on the Burlington fast
train out of Denver Tuesday afternoon.
The Infant of Mrs. Bales of Denver who
was traveling with her mother, Mrs. Cope-
land, to New York, fell from the car win
dow as the truln was going at the rate of
about forty-five miles an hour and pro
bably will survive. The baby was playing
near the window of the car with its grand
mother and climbing on the shoulders of
Mrs. Copeland It suddenly fell from the
window. Tho mother ran to the rear of the
observation car where Mr. Eyler was
sitting and told of the mishap. The train
was stoppod and backed to the place of
the accident where the baby was found to
have fallen on a slag ballast embankment
about nine feet high. The slope of the em
bankment evidently eased the fall of the
little one so that beyond a bruised hip
and a fractured collar bone and a few
scratches on the head there were apparent
ly no further Injuries. The accident hap
pened near Hudson, Col., whore the rail
road company Is Installing new steel rails
and the baby luckily fell In a gap between
the rails which were strewn along the side
of the track. The party was sent back to
Denver by Mr. Eyler where the Injuries
could be better attended to.

ODESSA, June 28. The red flag of revolu
tion Is hoisted at the masthead of the Knlns
Potemkine, Russia's most powerful battle
ship In the Black sea, which now lies In the
harbor In the hands of mutineers.
Tho captain and most of tho officers were
murdered and thrown overboard In tho open
sea and the ship Is completely In control
of the crew and a few officers who have
thrown In their lot with the mutineers.
The guns of the boat are trained on the
city and on the streets masses of striking
workmen, who yesterday fled before the vol
leys of the troops, arc now Inflamed by the
spectacle of open revolt on board an impe
rial warship and are making a bold front
against the military.
All day long firing has been heard In
many quarters of the city. A number of
barricades have been erected and tumult
and disorder reign.
Nnvnl Battle Expected Today.
Tho main squadron of the Black sea fleet,
consisting of battleships George Pobedlono
setz (George the Victorious), Trl Svlatella,
Rostislav and Ekaterlne II, with two cruis
ers are expected to arrive hero tonight and
a regular naval battlo Is In prospect.
The rioters are In a most defiant mood
and are not Inclined to surrender without
fighting.
Reports of the mutiny, which occurred
while the battleship was at sea, are difficult
to obtain, as the mutineers refuse to allow
communication with the shore; but It Is as
certained that it arose over the shooting of
a sailor who was presenting on behalf ot
the crew a complaint against the bad food.
According to one version this sailor, whoso
name was Omlltchuk, objected to the qual
ity of the "borchtch" or soup and waa Im
mediately shot down by a mesa officer.
The crew then rose and seized the ship and
the officers, eight of whom war pared on
condition that they would Join the muti
neers. The others were killed and their
bodies thrown overboard.
Body Bronarht Ashore.
After a period of vacillation the . Knots
Potemkine headed for Odessa and arrived
here last night, accompanied by two tor
pedo boats. Early today the body of OmllN
chuk was brought ashore in one of tho
battleship's boats nnd was landed on the
new mole, where It has been exposed In
semi-state all day. It was visited by thou
sands of persons, many of whom placed
coins In a basket at the head of the body
toward a fund to defray the cost of the
funeral, which the sailors propose to hold
tomorrow and which the strikers will make
the occasion for a great demonstration.
An Inscription on the breast of the dead
sailor states on behalf of the crew that
Omlltchuk died for the truth because ha
presented a Just complaint of the crew.
Tho authorities have made no attempt to
remove the body, the sailors having served
notice that the ship would open fire on
any one seeking to Interfere with it. A
police agent visiting this place was killed
by strikers.
During the day a red flag was hoisted on
the Knalz Potemkine and members of the
crew rode from Bhlp to ship In the harbor,
forcing the stoppage of all work thereon.
Food was supplied them by sympathizer
on shore, who pillaged the maritime stout
houses.
Strike la Now General.
The strike Is now general In the city and
the rioters are growing in numbera and
boldness. There were exchanges of shota
all day, but the number of victims cannot
be stated. This evening a bomh was thrown
Into Cathedral place, killing Its thrower
and a policeman.
A telegram from the mayor of Odessa,
who Is at Moscow, Imploring the citizens to
restore order, has been posted throughout
the city.
During the day one of the torpedo boats
which accompanied the Knalz Potemkine
came Into the harbor and seized the Rus
sian steamer Esperanzo. The steamer waa
laden with 2,000 tons of coal, which the
other ships are taking on board.

OFFICIALS IN STATE OF PANIC
Fear that Blnck Sen Itrxlnn la on
Eve of Great Revolt.
BT. PETERSBURG, June 20.-2:40 a, m.
More serious In its possible effects than all
the defeats In Manchuria or the destruction
of RoJestveiiBky's fleet was tho news which
reached St. Petersburg early last evening,
that the standard of open rebellion wot
floating on board one of the emperor's bat
tleships in the harbor of Odessa and that
with shotted guns, the mutinous crew
headed by eight officers was holding the
ship against all comers. The authorities
are In almost a state of panic, and at the
Admiralty consternation reigns. Admiral
Wlrenus, chief of the general staff of the
navy said to the Associated Press that the
Admiralty had received advlcea regarding
the mutiny but he was unable to give de
talis. He frankly confessed that the situ
ation was very grave and that he did not
know what to expect.
The Black sea squadron, which left Se
baatnpol Tuesday under command Of Vice
Admiral Kruger waa due to arrive at Odea
sa last night and battle with the mutineers
may occur at any moment.
The Knlaa Potemkine is a mora powerful
ship than any In Kruger's squadron and tha
gravity of the situation Is Increased by tha
fact that the city Is practically In the pos
session of the strikers, who according to
dispatches had already been encouraged to
open resistance hy the mutiny of the sailors
and were erecting barricades and fighting
the police and the troops in the strsets.
The body of Omlltchuk, lying exposed on
the quay In view of thousands and tha
story ot his cruel death evidently fired thn
imagination of tha workman)
