DIPLOMAS FOR MANY Stanford's Last Award to the Class of Pioneers. THEIR WORK HAS ENDED. One Hundred and Sixty-Seven Graduates Receive the De- gree of B. A. TWO ELOQUENT ADDRESSES. Touching Words of President Jor- dan and Vlce-President Stillman at the Parting. STANFORD UXIVRSITY, Cax., May 29. The pioneer class of Stanford Uni- versity passed into history to-day. One hundred and sixty-seven young men and women received the degree of A.B. and thereby severed their connection, as stu- dents, with the institution. The commencement exercises were held in the gymnasium, which was packed to its utmost capacity by visitors, relatives and friends of the graduates. Vice-Presi- dent Stillman delivered the address, "Specialization in Education." a masterly discourse, followed by President Jordan in one of the ablest utterances ever heard on the campus. Hundreds of people, stand- ing in cramped, uncomfortable positions, preserved the utmost silence and rapt at- tention during the impressive ceremony. The audience, the music, the decorations, the sentiment and the wisdom of the speak- ers made the exercises a fitting conclusion to the programme of this memorable week in the history of the university. Dr. Stiliman delivered an address never to be forgotten by those who heard him. He classed the highest aim of education as the fitting of the individual to be of the greatest possible service to the race. In ceneral. he said, it is also true that the man fitted to be of greatest service to the race is also best fitted to improve his own condition and to increase his own comfort and happiness. A system of education which should ignore the tirst and greater object would contain the seed of its own dissolution, for in the long run society is banded together against organized selfish- ness. The speaker traced the advance of edu- tational facilities from the years when :;i atic teaching was designed only for the priesthood down to the present era with its belief in universal knowledge. Education he declared to be one of the few things which conld be obtained at ± cost. The methods of the present <!ay were contrasted with those of the past. 6a lie: The problems then that face advanced edu- cation T'l-dny are commensurate In their Importance with the problem? which already nl ourcivilization, or which more or less My are discerned through the mists which vel! -the future. The century now nearing its close has been a period of unexampled material and industrial progress, and Ibelieve also of social and political improvement a-s well. Though we #>.re. vontrunted with wholesale corruption, rtu-ealitv&ud crime, it is yet reassuring to re- memb?r that they are generally and clearly recognized to be corruption, rascality and crime, and not called honesty, rectitude and beisetieence even by the most corrupt ex- ponent! ofpublic opinion. Many ttaaw have conspired to make the past coim;ry thus remarkable in its development; rapid methods of transit, rapid and cheap in- t--:communication of ideas, railroads, steam- ship*, telegraphs; but more tnan all, the in- crease of education and the consequent etnancipation of thought from the thralldom of old philosophies and dead dogmas. The impulse arising from the study of natural and physical science has played no email part in this stimulation of latent human possibilities. Naturally there have arisen from the changing conditions of life new eocial, political and industrial problems, making necessary more varied and different educational preparation. The great variety of •ohools for general and special training and the diversity of ideas as to function and methods of education are evidences of the attempt to suit educational methods to the various needs of the time. The century soon to be ushered in will doubtless carry forward, perhaps still more rapidly, the industrial and material develop- ment of civilization. Its achievements may be greater than those of the nineteenth, but it would be strange if the future century were n<~'t beset with difficulties and dangers com- mensurate with the magnificence of its promise in other directions. Problems already face us which tax to the utmost the knowledge and ability of the best trained experts; problems affecting the mutual relations between nations inter- national, international commerce or finance; equally difficult questions of internal ad- ministration, currency, tariff, taxation, the relation of the Government to the in- dividual, charities and correction; they need not be further enumerated, we all recognize them. Many social questions once simple and easily regulated become more difficult and of greater import through the growingcomplexity of social machinery. Thus the centralization of capital into mammoth corporations or trust?, with a power that springs from more than kinglywealth, has given rise to questions of great public importance; questions which troubled but little when competition was freer Xl the relations of supply and demand less strieted. The state has found itself compelled to inter- A fere to protect the public from the abuse of by wealthy corporations, and perhaps no ta?k before us is of greater importance than that of protecting the public from such or- ganizations, and at the same time protecting great business enterprises from an equally un- just and tyrannous abuse of the power of legis- lation. Concentration of capital has made I ble organizations of labor for its own pro- tection, and here again a giant strength is .roused which public policy must control, that it be not ufced against the rights of others nor the welfare of the state- How are we to acquire the wisdom and abil- ity to deal with such questions on the basis of equity and honesty and with intelligent un- derstanding of the factors involved in their settlement ? Only, I am convinced, by the gradual elevation of the people to a higher av- erage of honesty and intelligence, and further than that by the thorough special education of a large number of men to act as leaders of public opinion In their respective branches of knowledge. The greater the number of such leaders the more this training, and the more raried the lines of thought in which such lead- er exist, the more rapid and free from changes n ill be the march of progress. Dr. Stillman made a brilliant plea for specialization in the institutions of Jearn- j inu— for a system of education that would j prepare the student for some special walk j L ]jfe give him a profession or a calling, I tv.th knowledge of its most intricate de- j t;iiK He delined specialization as an ap- plication of study in some particular branch to identify thp student with a cer- - fain field of human knowledge. Dr. Still- man closed with the words of the Califor- r.i.i pott. Bill: Haste, haste! O laggard, leave thy drowsy dr»ams: Cram all thy brain with knowledge; clutch and cram! * '- I he cirih v wide, the universe is vast— . . Thou has Infinity to learn; Ohaste! Haste no., haste not. mv soul! Infinity? Thou hatt eternity to learn ItIn. Thy boundless lesson through the endless years Hath boundless leisure. Run not like a Rlave— Sit likf a kine and s»e the ranks of worlds Wheei in ihelr cycles onward to thy feet. Tfce presentation of prizes followed.

Said he: To the Class of 1895: To-day we give you the last of your childhood's toys, the college de- gree. The degree with all its titles and its privileges is yours. But it will not help you much in life. It belongs to the babyhood of culture. It represents hopes and ideals, the promise of youth, but men and women are judged by achievements, not by dreams. You will value your diploma for the growth to which it bears witness. For the warm friend- ships and sweet associations !you will value it again. And still you will prize it as a card of admission to the noblest body of men and women in the world, the band of Collegiate Alumni. All this is now yours. Lay the di- ploma away now with the best of your youth- ful treasures. To-day you take your place in the world of men. You have reached your ma- jority. One by one, you have passed the goals your teachers have set for you. The goals of the future must be of your own choosing. It is yours now to think, and therefore to act for yourselves. This you can surely do. It will be no new experience. Your training in the past has been such, we trust, that the new free- dom will be new inname only. It willcome to you with no shock of surprise, for Infree- dom you have been trained for freedom. You of the class of 1895 have occupied a unique position toward this university. You were the first the band of pioneers. It has been yours to lead, never to follow. Those who In future year. 13 are drawn to these halls may weigh and compare, balance privilege with privilege, opportunity with opportunity; their choice will be governed by influences which in part have come out from you. They will measure the future by the past. For you there was no past. You trusted the forces the university seemed to represent. You have given your best years of, training to this insti- tution when it had no record of achievement, no wealth of tradition. You have been uni- versity-makers. The highest value of tradition lies in the making of it; the noblest wealth Is the wealth of promise. It Is the place of the pioneer to make for the future, not to share in the past. Our university has no history to fall back upon ; no memories of great teachers haunt its corridors; in none of its rooms appear the traces which show where a great man has ever lived or worked. No tender associations cling, ivy-like, to its fresh new walls. It is hallowed by no traditions; it is hampered by none. Its finger-post still points forward. Traditions and associations it is ours to make. From our work the future of the university willgrow as a splendid lily from a modest bolb. But the future with Its glories and responsi- bilities will be in other hands. Itis ours at the beginning to give the university its form, its tendencies, its customs. The power of pre- cedent will cause to be repeated over and over again everything that we do our errors as well as our wisdom. It becomes us then to begin the work modestly, as under the eye of the coming ages. We must lay the foundation broad and firm, so as to give full support to whatever edifice the future may build. Inconcluding Dr. Jordan said : To the care and culture of men and women this university has been dedicated. As I said to you when we came together so 1 say to you again: The golden age of California begins when its gold is used for purposes like this. From such deeds must rise the new California of the com- ing century, no longer the California of the gold-seeker and the adventurer, but the abode of high-minded men and women, trained in the wisdom of the ages and imbued with the love of nature, the love of man and the love of God. And bright indeed will be the future of our State if, in the usefulness of the university, every hope and prayer of the founders shall be realized. TRIAL OF THE ST. LOUIS Just One Knot Below the Speed Required by the Contract. Under a Higher Pressure and With Better Coal the Vessel Will Be a Flyer. NEW YORK, N. V., May 29.—The St. Louis, the new steamship of the Inter- national Navigation Company line, com- pleted her trial trip at sea at 4 :30 p. m. ,at which lime she was made fast to her pier at the foot of Vesey street, North River. Coming up the bay the St. Louis was the recipient of a splendid ovation, due to a craft of her imposing appearance and mag- nificent proportions. Everything afloat saluted the new com- rade as she passed in. Steam whistles shrieked a welcome, ensigns were dipped and flags were waved in honor of this lat- est addition to the commercial marine of the United States. Her builders, the Cramps, express en- tire satisfaction at the result of the trial. Only once or twice during the trip did any part of her machinery become heated and that was the worst that was developed. By direction, there was no attempt to force the speed for any considerable lensth of time. It had been promised that the St. Louis should develop a speed of 21 knots. This was not fully realized during the trip. For thirty minutes yesterday afternoon the great ship was propelled through the water at the rate of 20 knots an hour, and in order to do that it was found necessary to force the draught. The coal in the bunkers is blamed for most of the difficulty in that regard. The steam pressure was at no time above 160 pounds* while to produce the stipulated speed 200 pounds may be required. When the fastest time of the trip was being made the engines were making 92 revolutions to the minute, 95 to 100 revolutions being re- quired to bring the speed up to twenty-one knots. "With some slight alterations in the fur- naces and with a more careful selection of coal, itis represented that the St. Louis will, on her trans- Atlantic voyage, which begins June 5, develop a well sustained speed of twenty-one knots. Prominent citizens of St. Louis, in recog- nition of the honor shown their city in the selection of a name for the great Amer- ican liner of American build, have pre- sented the company a handsome library, ten ornamental glass-windows for the first cabin library-room, and a full set of cut glass for the steamer. The presentation was made when the steamer docked this afternoon. DESTITUTION IX OKLAHOMA. Unlets Aided at Once Many Farmers mil Starre. WICHITA, Kans., May 29.— An appeal for aid for destitute people of part of Grant County, Oklahoma, has been issued by the Women's Associated Society of the Presby- terian Church of North Pond Creek. The appeal declares there is a strip of country, which includes a portion of Grant County, extending from four miles south of Enid north twenty miles to within four miles of Oxford, and from five miles west of Round Pond east ten miles almost to Lamont, where, on account of the severe drouth last summer and this spring, there is no grain and no vegetables and little grass for cattle and horses. There is great destitution, and unless aid is immediately given many must starve. Food, clothing and seed are desired. WILL TALK TEN DAYS. Referees Making Arrangements for the financial Debate. CHICAGO, 111., May 29.— Hon. Roswell G. Horr to-day asked Lyman J. Gage, pres- ident of the First National Bank, to act as his referee during the debate between him and W. H. Harvey, author of "Coin's Financial School." Mr. Gage has accepted, and the Union League Club has tendered its rooms. The debate will probably last ten days. Sten- ographic notes of the entire debate will betaken and given to the press for publi- cation. The date has not been decided upon. Howard S. Taylor, Harvey's refe- ree, will meet Mr. Gage to-morrow and de- cide upon the preliminaries. AT GRESHAM'S BIER Touching Tributes Paid the Honored Dead. CAPITOL IN MOURNING. Distinguished Statesmen, Dip- lomats and Soldiers at the Services. ALL REGRET THE NATION'S LOSS Remains of the Late Secretary Belngr Accompanied on the Train to Chicago. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 29.—The re- mains of Secretary Gresham, accompanied by President Cleveland and every member of bis Cabinet, and the Secretary's family, left Washington at 12:15 o'clock on a spe- cial train for Chicago, where the final in- terment will take place to-morrow. In life Secretary Gresham had loved most the military career of his ardent youth and of all his titles had been the fondest of that of general, which he had won upon the battlefield, in death he was wrapped in the stars and stripes and given a soldier's funeral. The whole city mourned the Nation's loss. Every department of the Govern- ment was closed ; every flag in Washing- ton was at halfmast. All the regular troops in and about Washington, cavalry, artillery and infantry, escorted the re- mains to the railway station. Mrs. Gresham, the stricken widow, was so over- come by her grief that she was unable to attend the services at the White House. The casket was borne to the Executive Mansion through the tiles of military and deposited in the East room, President Cleveland and his Cabinet, as honorary pall-bearers, accompanying the remains thither. The East room had been draped with a profusion of American flags and decorated with palms and potted flowers. The black catafalque and the black seal rug on which it rested were banked with the rarest and most beautiful flowers. The assemblage was of the most distinguished character. All the members of the diplo- matic corps in full court costume, resplen- dent with decorations, and many of them stiff with gold lace and braid, the officers of the army and navy in brilliant uni- forms, and all the high civilofficials of the Government, the President and his Cab- inet, the judges of the Supreme Court, Sen- ators, Representatives and other digni- taries and their wives were present to pay their last tribute to the honored dead. All were profoundly moved by tbe sim- plicity of the service. It consisted merely of the reading of the funeral service of the If. E. Church by Bishop Hurst, a personal friend of the dead Secretary. When the benediction was said, the strains of Cardinal Newman's beautiful hymn, "Lead, Kindly Light," trembled on the air and it was over. With bowed heads those present took a long last look at the well-known features and departed. As the iuH cortege emerged from the White House grounds, the long stretch of cavalry with their heavy yellow plumes, the artillery and infantry drawn up along the avenue saluted and the scarlet-coated Marine band played "Nearer, My God, to Thee." The military then took their places under command of Major-General Ruger, and slowly led the way down the avenue to the station, preceded by a band of forty pieces mounted on heavy horses. There were four troops of cavalry from Fort Meyer, the marine corps from the Navy-yard, three companies of infantry, four batteries from Washington Barracks and four batteries from Fort Meyer, in all all about 1500 men. As they swung down the avenue to the solemn strains of the funeral dirge, the sidewalks and every available space in the windows overlooking the avenue were lined with people. As they heard the muffled drums and saw the flags, the multitude was awed and rever- ently lifted their hats as the cortege passed. While the casket was being conveyed to the train the Marine band played "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." As the funeral train left the station the military separated and the city became quiet and its streets almost deserted. Before 8 o'clock this morning floral trib- utes to the late Secretary Gresham began to arrive at the annex to the Arlington, in which the remains of the Secretary of State Jay. Most of the floral pieces, how- ever, were sent to the White House, where the service was to be held. Mrs. Gresham, broken in spirits, exhausted by long vigils and overcome with grief, was in such a nervous state that her dauehter and son prevailed upon her not to undertake the trying ordeal of attending the services at the White House at 8:30 o'clock. There- fore, the doors were all closed and the stricken family left alone with its dead. For almost thirty minutes they remained, taking their last leave. Meantime without the preparations were being made for the military funeral. At 9 o'clock the doors of the room where the re- mains lay were opened, and the family re- tired to the rear apartments. Mrs. Gresham, in an agony of grief, was almost carried from the room by her stalwart son Otto, being followed by her daughter, Mrs. Andrews, her sister, Mrs. McGrain, and Captain Fuller. Soon afterward carriages containing the members of the Cabinet began arriving. At 9:15 President Cleveland drove up in the White House carriage, accompanied by Colonel Wilson. The crowd craned their necks, and a few camera enthusiasts, who seemed unconscious of the solemnity of the occasion, attempted to secure snap shots. The President wore a black frock coat. He looked far from well, and as- cended the broad stone steps with some difficulty. At 9:30 five red-coated trumpeters marched up Lafayette place and stationed themselves outside the line of mounted police to give the signal when the cortege had departed. Thirty seconds later the hearse, drawn by two coal-black horses, drew up at the door. The President, fol- lowed by the members of the Cabinet in the order of their ravik, acting as honorary pall-bearers, descended the steps and stood with uncovered heads, while eight artil- lerymen carried the casket with slow and solemn tread between them. The casket was shrouded completely in the folds of the American colors. The stars and stripes, however, could hardly be discerned for the flowers banked upon the casket. The artil- lerymen walked beside the hearse as it drew away, halting at the corner until the President and members of the official fam- ily had taken their positions in the car- nages ahead. The funeral procession moved slowly to the White House, flanked on either side by a line of policemen, behind whom were thousands of people, many with bowed and uncovered heads. The casket, pre- ceded by the President and Cabinet, was borne by the artillerymen to the East room, where the services took place. The great apartment was elaborately festooned for the solemn occasion. Seats were re- served for the immediate kinsfolk of the dead man, for the President and Mrs. Cleveland and for the members of the Cabinet and their wives. Within the solemn, black-robed circle stood the standards for the catafalque, resting on a black seal rug. At the upper end of the place where the catafalque was to rest stood a large wreath bearing the cards of the President and Mrs. Cleveland. It was of white roses and white rhododen- drons, tied with white ribbons. Alongside this was another superb wreath from the State Department of white and red roses and calla, tied with purple ribbon. Conspicuous for its rare beauty was a floral tribute from the foreign representatives. It was in the form of a large crescent wreath of orchids, lilies of the valley, American beauty roses and carnations, tied with a bow of large ribbon, with the words "Diplomatic Corps" in gold letters thereon. A few moments before 10 o'clock the family of the deceased, except Mrs. Gres- ham, were ushered into the green room, whence through an open doorway they had a plain view of the catafalque. At a sign from Colonel Wilson the crowd in the center divided and the casket, borne by eight stalwart sergeants of the Fourth artillery, under the command of Captain Charles D. Hall of the Nineteenth In- fantry, was borne to the East room and placed upon its supports. The floral trib- utes were gathered by the ushers and heaped in profusion upon the blacK sur- face of the casket. By 9:45 o'clock the East roomjwas nearly filled. All the members of the diplomatic body were apparently in attendance, with the exception of Minister Weckerlin of the Netherlands, who is absent from Wash- ington. The members of the Supreme Court came in singly. Mr. Thurber, the President's private secretary, gave his arm to Justice Field, who was very feeble. In the rear of the diplomatic body were seated the genera) officers of the army and navy, with their ladies. Again the crowd divided and the Presi- dent and Cabinet entered, President Cleve- land heading the party, with Mrs. Cleve- land upon his arm. They took their places standing at the head of the casket at the right of the south windows. Bishop Hurst then stepped forward. A hush fell upon the company and the clear voice of the clergyman rang out the words: "I am the resurrection and the life" The service was remarkably simple and free from ostentation. It was the full burial service of the Methodist Episcopal church, practically the same as that of the Church of England. The quartet sang very sweetly Cardinal Newman's hymn, "Lead, Kindly Light." The entire service lasted but fifteen minutes. The Bishop, when it was concluded, stepped to one side, after inviting those who cared to do so to look upon the face of the eminent deceased. Of this invitation every one in the room took advantage. The few Senators who were in Wash- ington were given very prominent places. Senator Stewart was in the very first row. The State Department sent an imposing delegation, consisting of all the employes, down to the humblest messenger. The personal friends of the late Secretary com- pletely filled that part of the room not oc- cupied by officials. The casket remained open in the East room for an hour. Miss Kate Field was the last person to look at the face of the dead before the casket was sealed and the march taken up to the railroad station. The carriage with Mrs. Gresham and her daughter joined the funeral cortege at the Executive Mansion. The hearse, fol- lowed by a short procession of a dozen carriages, moved from the White House gate and halted in front of the troops, which were drawn up in line. The troops saluted. General Ruger and his aids lifted their hats and the famous Marine band played "Nearer, My God, to Thee." To this music the military detachments marched past. When the last company had gone by the carriages with the President and Mrs. Cleveland and the members of the official household fell into line. The relatives drove privately to the station. Three bands played dirges along the line of march. The sidewalks and windows were crowded, and the flags on all the buildings were at halfmast. The column reached the station shortly before noon. Wnen the hearse drew up to the sidewalk the Marine band played "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." The funeral train, made up of five Balti- more and Ohio and Pullman coaches, was ene of unusual magnificence. It started at 12:15 and is scheduled to reach Chicago at 2 p. m. to-morrow. CEREMONIES AT CHICAGO. All the Arrangements Made for the Pre- mier's Funeral. ; */- CHICAGO, 111., May 29.-United States Marshal John W. Arnold has been placed in charge of the local arrangements for the interment of the late Secretary Gresham. Only in a general way has he arranged for the march to the cemetery to-morrow. Colonel Corbin will reach Chicago at -7- A. m., and the Marshal and General Merritt will meet him on arrival and the pro- gramme will then be definitely arranged. As contemplated to-night there will be no attempt at display. It is probable that the only troops participating in the escort will be the cavalry and artillery from Fort Sheridan. The. infantry will be brought to the city with the others at 9 o'clock in the morning and their participation will depend upon the wishes ef Colonel Corbin. During the afternoon Marshal Arnold ane General Merntt had a conference with A. A. Sprague, the local representative of the Gresham family.

Many Expressions .// Jtegret From Vari- . ' ~ ;\u25a0\u25a0'. ous '''Governments. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 29.-A large , number of messages of condolence from foreign Governments and their representa- tives here were received last evening and this morning. Some of them, being in the possession of Assistant Secretary Uhl who was absent, could not be obtained. Fol- lowing are those obtainable: Spanish Legation, Washington, May 28.— Hon. E. F. Uhl, Acting Secretary of State: There arrived late last night a cablegram from the Minister of Foreign Affairs fromher Majesty, the Queen Regent of Spain, instrncting me to convey to the President of the United States and to the people of the United States the eincerest regret and condol- ence of the Government and people of Spain on the death of the late Secretary, the Hon. Mr. W. Q.. Gresham. I will send you an official note, but I do not delay the expression of the sentiments of my country on this sad occasion. Believe me, very respectfully yours, E. Dcpuy Dk Lome. BERLIN, Germany, May 29.— The imperial German Government requests me to convey its sincere sympathy in the loss which the Presi- dent and the United States Government have sustained in the death of Secretary Gresham. Rcnyon. Minister Guzman of Nicaragua says: I have informed my Government of the death of Secretary Gresham and am now in re- ceipt of a cablegram from it deploring his death. The Mexican Minister, Senor Romero, sent a note expressing his deep regret at the death of Secretary Gresham, whom he knew when he was Postmaster-General and Secretary of the Treasury in previous administrations, "inall of which positions he had shown a love of justice and had been uniformly courteous." He added that he knew his Government would ex- press deep sorrow at Mr. Gresham's death. Embassador Patenotre of France wrote that he has informed his Government of the sad event, and has been directed to ex- press to the Federal Government his own Government's sincere regrets and condo- lence, and that he avails himself of the occasion to offer his personal expressions of sorrow at the death of a statesman whose i high abilities he and his colleagues fully appreciated. The Portuguese, Guatemalan, Argentine, Japanese and Hawaiian representatives among others were profuse in their expres- sions of regret and condolence. EMBASSADOIt JiA.YARD'b TRIBUTE. Graham's Courage Unselfish and Sis Honor Stainless. LONDON, Eire., May 29.— A1l the com- ing engagements of the United States Em- bassy, including the state ball, have been canceled on account of the death of Secre- tary Gresham. No member of the em- bassy was present at the Derby to-day. A representative of the Associated Press questioned the Embassador, Mr. Bayard, in regard to the statements from Washing- ton that he would probably succeed Gresham as Secretary of State. Mr. Bayard said : "These are mere speculations and I can- not discuss them." Mr. Bayard was then asked to send through the Associated Press a message to the American people upon the death of Mr. Gresham, and he said the following might be transmitted: "American history is rich in heroism, and no son of America ever deserved the epithet 'heroic' more perfectly than Wal- ter Q. Gresham, for his courage was as unselfish as his honor was stainles." CRAZED BY HER GRIEF The Sudden Death of a Rabbi Causes His Wife to Be- come a Maniac. Becoming- Violent the Unfortunate Woman Smashes Furniture and Dishes. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixd., May 29.—Louis Sherezfski, a Jewish rabbi, in charge of the Sarah Tefilla, was stricken with death this afternoon just after finishing his ser- mon at the synagogue, it being a church holiday. He became very ill during the service, wnich he managed to finish, and then started for his home. He fell at bis door and died in a few minutes. His wife was not at home, but when she returned a neighbor told her the terrible news. With a cry she rushed into the house and threw herself upon the dead body of her husband. In endearing terms she pleaded to him to speak to her, tore the clothing from his body, raised his eye- lids and chafed his hands. Then ensued a terrible scene. She com- pletely lost her reason and became a rav- ing maniac, broke the chairs, demolished a lot of furniture and smashed the dishes. All the women were frightened and ran from the house. Men entered but could do nothing. The situation was not changed at a late hour to-night, and her reason is probably gone forever. BPECTATOBS EXCLUDED. Wot to Be Permitted on Warthipa During the Ceremonies at Kiel. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 29.—Owing to the great number of applications that have been received from persons anxious to visit the American warships at the naval demonstrations at Kiel, Secretary Herbert has been obliged to issue an order to Admiral Kirkland, m command of the fleet, for his guidance in the matter. By its terms he may admit visitors to his ves- sels before and after the ceremonies, but during their progress every civilian will be rigorously excluded from shipboard, save Embassadors and Ministers. This is believed to be necessary to the mainte- nance of a good naval appearance and discipline while the ships are parading or are subject to the inspection of the German Emperor. BItVTALITY OF A. HTTSBAyD. While Drunk He Inflicts Fatal Injuries to Mis Wife. BROOKLYN, N. V., May 29.—Mrs. Minnie Lounigan, 34 years old, is lying in St. Peter's Hospital suffering from burns and bruises, while her husband John oc- cupies a cell in the Bntler-street police station, charged with inflictingthe injuries which will probably cause her death. From the statement which the woman made at the hospital it appears that her husband, after beating her severely, set fire to her clothing. Her face and" body are in a horrible condition from the burns. Notwithstanding this, however, she would not at first disclose the name of her assail- ant. When told that death was near she gave the evidence against her husband, who was at once arrested. His only state- ment was that he had been too drunk to recollect anything that had occurred. With John A. MoriHa' Remains . SAN ANTONIO, Texas, May. 29.-The body of John A. Morris, the millionaire horseman, who died at his ranch north of here suddenly last Sunday, arrived here on a special train from Kerrville, the near- est railroad point to the ranch. It was ac- companied by Mrs. Morris, his widow, and her son, Hannen Morris. The funeral party left yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock for New York via New Orleans. OREGON SHORT LINE Mr. Egan Cannot Take Possession at Once. MORE ORDERS NEEDED. Struggle of a Trust Company to Control Two Union Pacific Branches, _ ALL INTEREST MUST BE PAID. There Is Some Doubt as to the Value of the Receivers' Cer- tificates. OMAHA,Nebr., May 29.—Mr. Egan can- not gain possession of the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway lines until the American Loan and Trust Com- pany complies with Judge Sanborn's order, which must be extended by orders yet to be made by Judge Gilbert at Portland at a hearing set for next Monday, and Judge Merritt at Salt Lake at a hearing not yet set. Judge Sanborn's order extended the other jurisdiction to require the Am- erican Loan and Trust Company to im- mediately pay all defaulted first mortgage interest on the entire system. Interest in default is now $1,000,000 in- cluding the interest of the Utah and North- ern consolidated fives amounting to $46,000. This amount will be reduced by the appli- cation to $580,000, which Judge San born yesterday afternoon, upon further con- sideration, determined it would be safe to direct the present receivers to advance for that purpose. Efforts were made to secure an agreement from the representatives of the American Loan and Trust Company that the interest on the Utah and Northern consolidated bonds will also be paid, but the efforts were fruitless. Judge Sanborn farther requires that company to meet all future accruing first mortgage interest payments, the largest of which falls due in the next two or three months. While the present receivers will make no contest at Portland, the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway Company and many of its bondholders will contest the right to make any order for raising money by receivers' certificates to pay off the interest which the Ameri- can Loan and Trust Company must pay, and any such order, if made, will be at once appealed from. Senator Thurston said that while the re- ceivers could not claim a complete victory, they were thoroughly satisfied with the equitable and just order made by Judge Sanborn in the Oregon Short Line case. He said the receivers to the property would take it with many burdens, and he gave forth the impression that the order was simply the opening gun in what promises to be the most exciting campaign in West- ern railroad annals. W. S. Pierce, repre- senting first mortgage interests, thought the value of the receivers' certificates would be greatly abridged when all the facts be- came known. Looking at it from a busi- ness standpoint he could not see how prospective purchasers of receivers' certifi- cates could afford to invest money is so much uncertainty. OPPOSED TO EGAN. Employes of One JAne Would. Sot J.ike to Worhfor Him. PORTLAND, Or., May 29.—Next Mon- day the matter of the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway Company independent receivership will be definitely settled by Judge Gilbert in the United States Circuit Conrt. The contention of the Union Pacific will be against the ap- pointment of Egan as receiver. John M. Egan was appointed by Judge Gilbert by ex parte order made in chambers and without notice having been given to the defendants in the suit in which the ap- pointment was made that of the Amer- ican Loan and Trust Company vs. the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway Company. The Evening Telegram Bays: "The grounds of the proposed attack on Egan can only be surmised at this time, but it ig understood that prominent among them will be the fact that as chairman of the Man- agers' Association in Chicago he directed the railroads' side of the great strike last summer. On this account, it is argued, the employes of the Short Line will not do faithful work under his management, and with consequent poor service the earning capacity and value of the property will be impaired." _^^^^_^____^ Charities and Corrections.

DIPLOMAS FOR MANYStanford's Last Award

to the Class ofPioneers.

THEIR WORK HAS ENDED.

One Hundred and Sixty-Seven

Graduates Receive the De-gree of B. A.

TWO ELOQUENT ADDRESSES.

Touching Words of President Jor-dan and Vlce-President Stillman

at the Parting.

STANFORD UXIVRSITY, Cax., May29. —The pioneer class of Stanford Uni-versity passed into history to-day. Onehundred and sixty-seven young men andwomen received the degree of A.B. andthereby severed their connection, as stu-dents, with the institution.

The commencement exercises were heldin the gymnasium, which was packed toits utmost capacity by visitors, relativesand friends of the graduates. Vice-Presi-dent Stillman delivered the address,"Specialization in Education." a masterlydiscourse, followed by President Jordan inone of the ablest utterances ever heard onthe campus. Hundreds of people, stand-ing in cramped, uncomfortable positions,preserved the utmost silence and rapt at-tention during the impressive ceremony.The audience, the music, the decorations,the sentiment and the wisdom of the speak-ers made the exercises a fitting conclusionto the programme of this memorable weekin the history of the university.

Dr. Stiliman delivered an address neverto be forgotten by those who heard him.He classed the highest aim of education asthe fitting of the individual to be of thegreatest possible service to the race. Inceneral. he said, it is also true that theman fitted to be of greatest service to therace is also best fitted to improve his owncondition and to increase his own comfortand happiness. A system of educationwhich should ignore the tirst and greaterobject would contain the seed of its owndissolution, for in the long run society isbanded together against organized selfish-ness.

The speaker traced the advance of edu-tational facilities from the years when

:;iatic teaching was designed only forthe priesthood down to the present erawith its belief in universal knowledge.Education he declared to be one of the few

things which conld be obtained at± cost. The methods of the present<!ay were contrasted with those of the past.6a lie:

The problems then that face advanced edu-cation T'l-dny are commensurate In theirImportance with the problem? which already

nlourcivilization, or which more or lessMy are discerned through the mists

which vel!-the future.The century now nearing its close has been a

period of unexampled material and industrialprogress, and Ibelieve also of social andpolitical improvement a-s well. Though we#>.re. vontrunted with wholesale corruption,rtu-ealitv&ud crime, it is yet reassuring to re-memb?r that they are generally and clearlyrecognized to be corruption, rascality andcrime, and not called honesty, rectitude andbeisetieence even by the most corrupt ex-ponent! ofpublic opinion.

Many ttaaw have conspired to make the pastcoim;ry thus remarkable in its development;rapid methods of transit, rapid and cheap in-t--:communication of ideas, railroads, steam-ship*, telegraphs; but more tnan all, the in-crease of education and the consequentetnancipation of thought from the thralldom ofold philosophies and dead dogmas.

The impulse arising from the study ofnatural and physical science has played noemail part inthis stimulation of latent humanpossibilities. Naturally there have arisenfrom the changing conditions of life neweocial, political and industrial problems,making necessary more varied and differenteducational preparation. The great variety of•ohools for general and special training andthe diversity of ideas as to function andmethods of education are evidences of theattempt to suit educational methods to thevarious needs of the time.

The century soon to be ushered in willdoubtless carry forward, perhaps still morerapidly, the industrial and material develop-ment of civilization. Its achievements maybe greater than those of the nineteenth, but itwould be strange if the future century weren<~'t beset with difficulties and dangers com-mensurate with the magnificence of itspromise inother directions.

Problems already face us which tax to theutmost the knowledge and abilityof the besttrained experts; problems affecting themutual relations between nations inter-national, international commerce or finance;equally difficult questions of internal ad-ministration, currency, tariff, taxation,the relation of the Government to the in-dividual, charities and correction; they neednot be further enumerated, we all recognizethem. Many social questions once simple andeasily regulated become more difficult and ofgreater import through the growingcomplexityof social machinery. Thus the centralizationof capital into mammoth corporations ortrust?, with a power that springs from morethan kinglywealth, has given rise to questionsof great public importance; questions whichtroubled but little when competition was freer

Xlthe relations of supply and demand lessstrieted.The state has found itself compelled to inter-

A fere to protect the public from the abuse ofby wealthy corporations, and perhaps

no ta?k before us is of greater importance thanthat of protecting the public from such or-ganizations, and at the same time protectinggreat business enterprises from an equallyun-just and tyrannous abuse of the power of legis-lation. Concentration of capital has madeI ble organizations of labor for its own pro-tection, and here again a giant strength is.roused which public policy must control, thatit be not ufced against the rights of others northe welfare of the state-

How are we to acquire the wisdom and abil-ity to deal with such questions on the basis ofequity and honesty and with intelligent un-derstanding of the factors involved in theirsettlement ? Only,Iam convinced, by thegradual elevation of the people to a higher av-erage of honesty and intelligence, and furtherthan that by the thorough special education ofa large number of men to act as leaders ofpublic opinion In their respective branches ofknowledge. The greater the number of suchleaders the more this training, and the moreraried the lines of thought in which such lead-er exist, the more rapid and free from changesnillbe the march of progress.

Dr. Stillman made a brilliant plea forspecialization in the institutions of Jearn- jinu—for a system of education that would jprepare the student for some special walk jL ]jfe

—give him a profession or a calling, I

tv.th knowledge of its most intricate de- jt;iiK He delined specialization as an ap-plication of study in some particular

branch to identify thp student with a cer--fain field of human knowledge. Dr. Still-man closed with the words of the Califor-r.i.i pott. Bill:Haste, haste! Olaggard, leave thydrowsy dr»ams:Cram all thy brain with knowledge; clutch and

cram!*

President Jordan's farewell address wasItouching and eloquent. Said he:

To the Class of 1895: To-day we giveyou thelast of your childhood's toys, the college de-gree. The degree with all its titles and itsprivileges is yours. But it will not help youmuch in life. It belongs to the babyhood ofculture. It represents hopes and ideals, thepromise of youth, but men and women arejudged byachievements, not by dreams. Youwill value your diploma for the growth towhich it bears witness. For the warm friend-ships and sweet associations !you will value it

again. And stillyou willprize itas a card ofadmission to the noblest body of men andwomen in the world, the band of CollegiateAlumni. All this is now yours. Lay the di-ploma away now with the best of your youth-ful treasures. To-day you take your place inthe world of men. You have reached your ma-jority. One by one, you have passed the goalsyour teachers have set for you. The goals ofthe future must be of your own choosing. Itis yours now to think, and therefore to act foryourselves. This you can surely do. It willbe no new experience. Your training in thepast has been such, we trust, that the new free-dom will be new inname only. Itwillcometo you with no shock of surprise, for Infree-dom you have been trained for freedom.

You of the class of 1895 have occupied aunique position toward this university. Youwere the first

—the band of pioneers. Ithas

been yours to lead, never to follow. ThosewhoInfuture year.13 are drawn to these hallsmay weigh and compare, balance privilegewith privilege, opportunity with opportunity;their choice will be governed by influenceswhich inpart have come out from you. Theywillmeasure the future by the past. For youthere was no past. You trusted the forces theuniversity seemed to represent. You havegiven your best years of, training to this insti-tution when ithad no record of achievement,no wealth of tradition. You have been uni-versity-makers. The highest value of traditionlies in the making of it; the noblest wealth Isthe wealth of promise. ItIs the place of thepioneer to make for the future, not to share inthe past.

Our university has no history to fall backupon ;no memories of great teachers haunt itscorridors; in none of its rooms appear thetraces which show where a great man has everlived or worked. No tender associations cling,ivy-like, to its fresh new walls. Itis hallowedby no traditions; it is hampered by none. Itsfinger-post still points forward. Traditionsand associations itis ours to make. From ourwork the future of the university willgrow asa splendid lilyfrom a modest bolb.

But the future with Its glories and responsi-bilities will be in other hands. Itis ours atthe beginning to give the university its form,its tendencies, its customs. The power of pre-cedent will cause to be repeated over and overagain everything that wedo

—our errors as well

as our wisdom. It becomes us then to beginthe work modestly, as under the eye of thecoming ages. We must lay the foundationbroad and firm,so as to give full support towhatever edifice the future may build.

Inconcluding Dr. Jordan said :To the care and culture of men and women

this university has been dedicated. As Isaidto you when we came together so 1say to youagain:

The golden age of California begins when itsgold is used for purposes like this. From suchdeeds must rise the new California of the com-ingcentury, no longer the California of thegold-seeker and the adventurer, but the abodeof high-minded men and women, trained inthe wisdom of the ages and imbued with thelove of nature, the love of man and the love ofGod. And bright indeed will be the future ofour State if,in the usefulness of the university,every hope and prayer of the founders shall berealized.

TRIAL OF THE ST. LOUISJust One Knot Below the

Speed Required by theContract.

Under a Higher Pressure and WithBetter Coal the Vessel Will

Be a Flyer.

NEW YORK, N. V., May 29.—The St.Louis, the new steamship of the Inter-national Navigation Company line, com-pleted her trial trip at sea at 4:30 p. m. ,atwhichlime she was made fast to her pierat the foot of Vesey street, North River.Coming up the bay the St. Louis was therecipient of a splendid ovation, due toacraft of her imposing appearance and mag-nificent proportions.

Everything afloat saluted the new com-rade as she passed in. Steam whistlesshrieked a welcome, ensigns were dippedand flags were waved inhonor of this lat-est addition to the commercial marine ofthe United States.

Her builders, the Cramps, express en-tire satisfaction at the result of the trial.Only once or twice during the trip did anypart of her machinery become heated andthat was the worst that was developed. Bydirection, there was no attempt to forcethe speed for any considerable lensth oftime.Ithad been promised that the St. Louis

should develop a speed of 21 knots. Thiswas not fully realized during the trip. Forthirty minutes yesterday afternoon thegreat ship was propelled through thewater at the rate of 20 knots an hour, andinorder to do that itwas found necessaryto force the draught. The coal in thebunkers is blamed for most of the difficultyin that regard.

The steam pressure was at no time above160 pounds* while toproduce the stipulatedspeed 200 pounds may be required. Whenthe fastest time of the tripwas being madethe engines were making 92 revolutions tothe minute, 95 to 100 revolutions being re-quired to bring the speed up to twenty-oneknots.

"With some slight alterations in the fur-naces and with a more careful selection ofcoal, itis represented that the St. Louiswill,on her trans- Atlantic voyage, whichbegins June 5, develop a well sustainedspeed of twenty-one knots.

Prominent citizens of St. Louis, in recog-nition of the honor shown their city inthe selection of a name for the great Amer-ican liner of American build, have pre-sented the company a handsome library,ten ornamental glass-windows for the firstcabin library-room, and a full set of cutglass for the steamer. The presentationwas made when the steamer docked thisafternoon.

ALLREGRET THENATION'S LOSS

Remains ofthe Late Secretary BelngrAccompanied on the Train

to Chicago.

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 29.—The re-mains of Secretary Gresham, accompaniedby President Cleveland and every memberof bis Cabinet, and the Secretary's family,left Washington at 12:15 o'clock on a spe-cial train for Chicago, where the final in-terment willtake place to-morrow.

In life Secretary Gresham had lovedmost the military career of his ardentyouth and of all his titles had been thefondest of that of general, which he hadwon upon the battlefield, indeath he waswrapped in the stars and stripes and givena soldier's funeral.

The whole city mourned the Nation'sloss. Every department of the Govern-ment was closed ;every flag inWashing-ton was at halfmast. All the regulartroops in and about Washington, cavalry,artillery and infantry, escorted the re-mains to the railway station. Mrs.Gresham, the stricken widow, was so over-come by her grief that she was unable toattend the services at the White House.The casket was borne to the ExecutiveMansion through the tiles of military anddeposited in the East room, PresidentCleveland and his Cabinet, as honorarypall-bearers, accompanying the remainsthither. The East room had been drapedwith a profusion of American flags anddecorated with palms and potted flowers.The black catafalque and the black sealrug on which it rested were banked withthe rarest and most beautiful flowers. Theassemblage was of the most distinguishedcharacter. Allthe members of the diplo-matic corps in full court costume, resplen-dent with decorations, and many of themstiff withgold lace and braid, the officersof the army and navy in brilliant uni-forms, and all the high civilofficials of theGovernment, the President and his Cab-inet, the judges of the Supreme Court, Sen-ators, Representatives and other digni-taries and their wives were present to paytheir last tribute to the honored dead.

Allwere profoundly moved by tbe sim-plicity of the service. Itconsisted merelyof the reading of the funeral service of theIf.E. Church by Bishop Hurst, a personalfriend of the dead Secretary.

When the benediction was said, thestrains of Cardinal Newman's beautifulhymn, "Lead, KindlyLight," trembled onthe air and it was over. With bowedheads those present took a long last lookat the well-known features and departed.As the iuH cortege emerged from theWhite House grounds, the long stretch ofcavalry with their heavy yellow plumes,the artillery and infantry drawn up alongthe avenue saluted and the scarlet-coatedMarine band played "Nearer, My God, toThee." The military then took theirplaces under command of Major-GeneralRuger, and slowly led the way down theavenue to the station, preceded by a bandof forty pieces mounted on heavy horses.There were four troops of cavalry fromFort Meyer, the marine corps from theNavy-yard, three companies of infantry,four batteries from Washington Barracksand four batteries from Fort Meyer, inallall about 1500 men. As they swung downthe avenue to the solemn strains of thefuneral dirge, the sidewalks and everyavailable space in the windows overlookingthe avenue were lined with people. Asthey heard the muffled drums and saw theflags, the multitude was awed and rever-ently lifted their hats as thecortege passed.While the casket was being conveyed tothe train the Marine band played "Safe inthe Arms of Jesus." As the funeral trainleft the station the military separated andthe city became quiet and its streets almostdeserted.

Before 8o'clock this morning floral trib-utes to the late Secretary Gresham beganto arrive at the annex to the Arlington, inwhich the remains of the Secretary ofState Jay. Most of the floral pieces, how-ever, were sent to the White House, wherethe service was to be held. Mrs.Gresham,broken inspirits, exhausted by long vigilsand overcome with grief, was in such anervous state that her dauehter and sonprevailed upon her not to undertake thetrying ordeal of attending the services atthe White House at 8:30 o'clock. There-fore, the doors were all closed and thestricken family left alone with its dead.For almost thirty minutes they remained,taking their last leave.

Meantime without the preparations werebeing made for the military funeral. At9o'clock the doors of the room where the re-mains lay were opened, and the family re-tired to the rear apartments. Mrs.Gresham, inan agony of grief, was almostcarried from the room by her stalwart sonOtto, being followed by her daughter, Mrs.Andrews, her sister, Mrs. McGrain, andCaptain Fuller.

Soon afterward carriages containing themembers of the Cabinet began arriving.At 9:15 President Cleveland drove up inthe White House carriage, accompaniedby Colonel Wilson. The crowd cranedtheir necks, and a few camera enthusiasts,who seemed unconscious of the solemnityof the occasion, attempted to secure snapshots. The President wore a black frockcoat. He looked far from well, and as-cended the broad stone steps with somedifficulty.

At 9:30 five red-coated trumpetersmarched upLafayette place and stationedthemselves outside the line of mountedpolice to give the signal when the cortegehad departed. Thirty seconds later thehearse, drawn by two coal-black horses,drew up at the door. The President, fol-lowed by the members of the Cabinet inthe order of their ravik, acting as honorarypall-bearers, descended the steps and stoodwith uncovered heads, while eight artil-lerymen carried the casket with slow andsolemn tread between them. The casketwas shrouded completely in the folds ofthe American colors. The stars and stripes,however, could hardly be discerned for theflowers banked upon thecasket. The artil-lerymen walked beside the hearse as itdrew away, halting at the corner until thePresident and members of the official fam-ilyhad taken their positions in the car-nages ahead.

The funeral procession moved slowly to

the White House, flanked on either side bya line of policemen, behind whom werethousands of people, many with bowedand uncovered heads. The casket, pre-ceded by the President and Cabinet, wasborne by the artillerymen to the Eastroom, where the services took place. Thegreat apartment was elaborately festoonedfor the solemn occasion. Seats were re-served for the immediate kinsfolk of thedead man, for the President and Mrs.Cleveland and for the members of theCabinet and their wives.

Within the solemn, black-robed circlestood the standards for the catafalque,resting on a black seal rug. At the upperend of the place where the catafalque wasto rest stood a large wreath bearing thecards of the President and Mrs.Cleveland.Itwas of white roses and white rhododen-drons, tied with whiteribbons. Alongsidethis was another superb wreath from theState Department of white and red rosesand calla, tied with purple ribbon.Conspicuous for its rare beauty was a floraltribute from the foreign representatives.

It was in the form of a large crescentwreath of orchids, lilies of the valley,American beauty roses and carnations,tied with a bow of large ribbon, with thewords "Diplomatic Corps" in gold lettersthereon.

A few moments before 10 o'clock thefamily of the deceased, except Mrs. Gres-ham, were ushered into the green room,whence through an open doorway theyhad a plain view of the catafalque. At asign from Colonel Wilson the crowd in thecenter divided and the casket, borne byeight stalwart sergeants of the Fourthartillery, under the command of CaptainCharles D. Hall of the Nineteenth In-fantry, was borne to the East room andplaced upon its supports. The floral trib-utes were gathered by the ushers andheaped in profusion upon the blacK sur-face of the casket.

By 9:45 o'clock the East roomjwas nearlyfilled. Allthe members of the diplomaticbody were apparently in attendance, withthe exception of Minister Weckerlin of theNetherlands, who is absent from Wash-ington. The members of the SupremeCourt came in singly. Mr. Thurber, thePresident's private secretary, gave his armto Justice Field, who was very feeble. Inthe rear of the diplomatic body were seatedthe genera) officers of the army and navy,with their ladies.

Again the crowd divided and the Presi-dent and Cabinet entered, President Cleve-land heading the party, with Mrs. Cleve-land upon his arm. They took their placesstanding at the head of the casket at theright of the south windows. Bishop Hurstthen stepped forward. A hush fell uponthe company and the clear voice of theclergyman rang out the words:"Iam the resurrection and the life"The service was remarkably simple and

free from ostentation. It was the fullburial service of the Methodist Episcopalchurch, practically the same as that of theChurch of England. The quartet sangvery sweetly Cardinal Newman's hymn,"Lead, Kindly Light." The entire servicelasted but fifteen minutes.

The Bishop, when it was concluded,stepped to one side, after inviting thosewho cared to do so to look upon the face ofthe eminent deceased. Of this invitationevery one in the room took advantage.

The few Senators who were in Wash-ington were given very prominent places.Senator Stewart was in the very first row.The State Department sent an imposingdelegation, consisting of all the employes,down to the humblest messenger. Thepersonal friends of the late Secretary com-pletely filled that part of the room not oc-cupied by officials.

The casket remained open in the Eastroom for an hour. Miss Kate Field wasthe last person to look at the face of thedead before the casket was sealed andthe march taken up to the railroad station.The carriage with Mrs. Gresham and herdaughter joined the funeral cortege at theExecutive Mansion. The hearse, fol-lowed by a short procession of adozen carriages, moved from theWhite House gate and halted in frontof the troops, which were drawn up inline. The troops saluted. General Rugerand his aids lifted their hats and thefamous Marine band played "Nearer, MyGod, to Thee." Tothis music the militarydetachments marched past. When the lastcompany had gone by the carriages withthe President and Mrs. Cleveland and themembers of the official household fellintoline. The relatives drove privately to thestation.

Three bands played dirges along the lineof march. The sidewalks and windowswere crowded, and the flags on all thebuildings were at halfmast. The columnreached the station shortly before noon.Wnen the hearse drew up to the sidewalkthe Marine band played "Safe in the Armsof Jesus."

The funeral train, made up of fiveBalti-more and Ohio and Pullman coaches, wasene of unusual magnificence. Itstarted at12:15 and is scheduled to reach Chicago at2 p. m. to-morrow.

OREGON SHORT LINEMr. Egan Cannot Take

Possession atOnce.

MORE ORDERS NEEDED.

Struggle of a Trust Companyto Control Two Union

Pacific Branches,_ALL INTEREST MUST BE PAID.

There Is Some Doubt as to the Valueof the Receivers' Cer-

tificates.

OMAHA,Nebr., May 29.—Mr.Egan can-not gain possession of the Oregon ShortLine and Utah Northern Railway linesuntil the American Loan and Trust Com-pany complies with Judge Sanborn's order,which must be extended by orders yet tobe made by Judge Gilbert at Portland at ahearing set for next Monday, and JudgeMerritt at Salt Lake at a hearing not yetset. Judge Sanborn's order extendedthe other jurisdiction to require the Am-erican Loan and Trust Company to im-mediately pay all defaulted first mortgageinterest on the entire system.

Interest in default is now $1,000,000 in-cluding the interest of the Utah and North-ern consolidated fives amounting to $46,000.This amount will be reduced by the appli-cation to $580,000, which Judge San bornyesterday afternoon, upon further con-sideration, determined itwould be safe todirect the present receivers to advance forthat purpose. Efforts were made to securean agreement from the representatives ofthe American Loan and Trust Companythat the interest on the Utah and Northernconsolidated bonds will also be paid, butthe efforts were fruitless.

Judge Sanborn farther requires thatcompany to meet all future accruing firstmortgage interest payments, the largest ofwhich falls due in the next two or threemonths. While the present receivers willmake no contest at Portland, the OregonShort Line and Utah Northern RailwayCompany and many of its bondholderswillcontest the right to make any orderfor raising money by receivers' certificatesto pay offthe interest which the Ameri-can Loan and Trust Company must pay,and any such order, if made, will be atonce appealed from.

Senator Thurston said that while the re-ceivers could not claim a complete victory,they were thoroughly satisfied with theequitable and just order made by JudgeSanborn in the Oregon Short Line case. Hesaid the receivers to the property wouldtake it with many burdens, and he gaveforth the impression that the order wassimply the opening gun in what promisesto be the most exciting campaign inWest-ern railroad annals. W. S. Pierce, repre-senting first mortgage interests, thoughtthe value of the receivers' certificates wouldbe greatly abridged when all the facts be-came known. Looking at it from a busi-ness standpoint he could not see howprospective purchasers of receivers' certifi-cates could afford to invest money is somuch uncertainty.

OPPOSED TO EGAN.

Employes of One JAne Would. Sot J.ike to

Worhfor Him.PORTLAND, Or., May 29.—Next Mon-

day the matter of the Oregon Short Lineand Utah Northern Railway Companyindependent receivership willbe definitelysettled by Judge Gilbert in the UnitedStates Circuit Conrt. The contention ofthe Union Pacific will be against the ap-pointment of Egan as receiver. John M.Egan was appointed by Judge Gilbert byex parte order made in chambers andwithout notice having been given to thedefendants in the suit in which the ap-pointment was made —

that of the Amer-ican Loan and Trust Company vs. theOregon Short Line and Utah NorthernRailway Company.

The Evening Telegram Bays: "Thegrounds of the proposed attack on Egancan only be surmised at this time, but itig

understood that prominent among themwillbe the fact that as chairman of the Man-agers' Association in Chicago he directedthe railroads' side of the great strike lastsummer. On this account, it is argued,the employes of the Short Line willnot dofaithful work under his management, andwith consequent poor service the earningcapacity and value of the property willbeimpaired."
