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.

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 GrantCounty, Oklahoma, has been issued by theWomen's Associated Society of the Presby-terian Church of North Pond Creek.

The appeal declares there is a strip ofcountry, which includes a portion of GrantCounty, extending from four miles southof Enid north twenty miles to withinfour miles of Oxford, and from fivemiles west of Round Pond east tenmiles almost to Lamont, where, onaccount of the severe drouth last summerand this spring, there is no grain and novegetables and little grass for cattle andhorses. There is great destitution, andunless aid is immediately given manymust starve. Food, clothing and seed aredesired.

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.

and Dishes.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ixd., May 29.—LouisSherezfski, a Jewish rabbi, in charge ofthe Sarah Tefilla, was stricken with deaththis afternoon just after finishing his ser-mon at the synagogue, it being a churchholiday.

He became very illduring the service,wnich he managed to finish, and thenstarted for his home. He fell at bis doorand died ina few minutes.

His wife was not at home, but when shereturned a neighbor told her the terriblenews. With a cry she rushed into thehouse and threw herself upon the deadbody of her husband. In endearing termsshe pleaded to him to speak to her, torethe 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 alot of furniture and smashed the dishes.Allthe women were frightened and ranfrom the house. Menentered but could donothing. The situation was not changedat a late hour to-night, and her reason isprobably gone forever.

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."
