— ae ~<A PROF petraN THE EVENING SOME OF THE COLUMBIAN ORATORBS. RAH! GOLUMB-I-AN.| Sons of the University at Their An- nual Dinner. A NOTABLE GATHERING. Amid Song and Story the Needs of the Uni- versity Are Told—Its Advance During the Past Year—After-Dinner Speeches at the Arlington Banquet Last Night, ed Columbian University has made some nota- ble advances in the past year. It has organized the graduate schools and developed a univer- sity yell. The university yell was heard last night, also something was heard about the other additions to the university. The occa- sion was the annual dinner of the alumni asso- ciation. These dinners have come to rank among the most important gastronomic events of tue year, for it is around the banquet board that the many graduates from the professional and academic departments of good old Colum- bian learn what the university is doing and what it purposes doing. Facts that might seem dry and uninviting in an ordinary university cata logue are rendered most attractive by being intertwined with song and story. The needs ot Columbian University are eloquently pleaded between jests and verses, and the aspirations of the president, the faculty and the trustees aro told over the coffee. No occasion calls together more rep- resentative Washingtonians. Last night was no exception to the rule, when 120 or more of the alumni, the faculty and the officials of the uri- versity sa: down around the big board in the banquet hail at the Ariington. Before going to the dining hall s general reception was held. This afforded an munity to the alumni to meet Pro. Charles E. Munroe and Prof. H. Carrington Bolton, who have newly come to the facuity of the university. The dinner, which was well served, was eaten Trlopment that develooment has been acquired by plentiful donations from Joyal alumni and | Senerous patrons. |" “Two things are absolutely necessary to build up agreat educational institution, viz.: Ist. Men of the proper quality. 2d. Money in Proper quantity. “The money having been secured, the men may be obtained on demand. As a rule one in- stitution can draw the best teachers from an- other institution if 1thave enough money to entice them. Most educators have common | sense and “an eye to business.” And so with educational institutions, they all have a busi- ness aspect, a business relation and a business concern that cannot be ignored. Honor and glory, pathos and poetry, science and philoso- | phy are all very magnificent, and yet they can- ‘MR.

And thus a community is often enough less indebted to its professional snd learned men than it is to its solid business me —men who have made money, made it honestly, made lots of it and give it awey to educational’ institutions. And these are the men to whom we must look and upon whom the future successful destiny of this university greatly depends in my humble opinion, “Modestly, silently, industriously and de- voutly, through the years and the decades,” he said, ‘have the foundations of the Columbian University been well and honorably estab- lished; her sons and daughters are loyal.

The latter was somewhat ragged, | Dr. Welling forth from a hundred throats: “Orange and Bine! Orange and Blue! Rab! Rab! fs Roo!

One speech created something of a ripple. As there was no member of the judiciary present, Mr. ‘H. E. Duvis was called upon to respond for that branch of the government, At the next dinner it is probable that the judiciary wil! see to it that some member of their body is present. for Mr. Davis tock occasion to speak out very plainly his views of the judiciary in general, and of the District judiciary im parzicular. "Dr. King pleasantly varied the usual monotony of toastmasters’ speeches by dropping into rhyme. PR AF. a. KING. Dr. A. F. A. King, as president of the alumni and toastmaster, opened the speechmaking with an address full of wit and atthe same time containing earnest words in behalf of his loved university. He arranged his remarks, as he described the process himself. “in ‘varying strata of greater and less solemnity. “I suppose.” he said. “that every one whose Joyal devotion to his alma mater brings him here tonight comes with the hope of learning something of the progress that has been made im the development of our university during the past year. We long to learn the measure to know what harvests have ts evolved, what new chairs estab! have been acquired, what bequests, donations ‘and endowments have been received: in short. | with another year added to the dignity of her antiquity, to what extent has the institution @levated the scale of its standing among the great universities of the United States.

HL E 8 i what teaching facilities | which had nearly prevented his attendance at the dinner, and which rendered him unatle to say all he would like.‘ Never, he said, had Columbian University occupied so conspicuous | place in the educational world as it does now. Soon after the establishment of the university in 1821, im the year 1824, there had been pro- jected a course of graduate studies, This plan could not then be carried out, but the projected courses had come within the last few years to crown the career of the university. He re- gretted that he had not the time to recount the new departures of the last few years. The plans Perfected and the plans mataring were soon, to mat announced to the whole land. The Colum- bian University, living in the midst of educa- tional affluence, is now about to enter upon her kingdom and lay hold upon the educational influences that control the world. It was to we new direction to the great forces of nowledge; to reproduce the knowledge that is, | be said, is to remain standing. He spoke of an | institution that is merely recreating and per- | petuating the old know! as one devoted | only to the lower stages of culture. It was the | higher forces they intended to call into play. If one believed this too ambitious for Colum- bian University be need but look around him to see that it was its natural destiny.

Life in Washington. he said, | was a literary, an artistic, a ecientific dream. ‘They were not now what they had been. ‘They could remember when they were reproached as | mendicants, relying on the general govern- ment for maintenance.

When Chicago got it Washington at once joined in to help make the fair a success. They were not jealous of New York, with its great population, nor of Philadelphia, if that city gets the next world’s fair. They all knew that most of the world’s fair were in Washington. They did not now criticise Congress for being niggardiy, even if Congress did require the city to pay 800,000 or $900,000 for a useless aque- duct’ tunnel: to pay half the price form great park and to pay also in part for a zoological park. Congress told them that they would extend the streets and avenues of the city to the District lines if the paid for them. "This may bé a Dlessing in disguise.

If he could aid in the extension of the streets to the District line and the carrying out and unfold- ing of the great pian of L'Enfant he would think his time not wasted. Among all the ad- vantages the city enjoyed he believed one of the greatest, ove of the most refining in- fluences, one of the most potent in the elevation of the people was the Columbian University. MR. HARRY Z. Davis, To the next toat, “The jadiciary,” Mr. Harry E. Davis was invited to respond, in the absence of Mr. Justice Howell E. Jacksou, who was unable to be present. Mr. Davis remarked that he was not taken by surprise, as he had been. responding to the judiciary for the last ten days, and’being somewhat at a disadvantage, too, asthe judiciary had the last response. ‘Thus he had been ‘unconsciously # sort of un derstudy for Justice Jackson, who, he said, was a good enough man to have graduated from Columbian University. The motto given him You do not know what a frightful thing it is to go to law,” but he trans- tated differently the sentiment on the printed list of toasts (““Nescis tu quam meticulosa res sit ire ad judicern”). He read it, “You don't know what a dreadful thing it is to goata judge.” Any men deceived himsclf who be- lieved the speaker did not know what a dréad- ful thing it was to goata judge. He knew very well how dreadfui it was to go at a judge who thought he knew more than you do, and that wasa common thing with judges. ‘The judiciary of the United States, in his judg- ment, had reposed in it the discharge of a duty second to none that had ever been imposed on any body of men. When one con- sidered the vast interests confided to the judiciary one could not fail to be appalled by the sense of responsibility thet ought to bo- long to this body. He maintained that they were drifting backward today, going back to the law before the jury was established, when it was the judge that declared the right and ad- inistered the rule of life and death. It was, he said. a matter of common apprehension in his profession that today the jury was in the background and the judge at the front. Hence, the welfare of the nation was bound up in its Judiciary as never before was the welfare of a nation dependent on its law-declaring offices. ‘A generation ago a judge who would sct aside the verdict of a jury would have been looked upon as an anarchist; ® judge who would get down into the jury box would have been run- ning counter of the sentiment of men. Today this was the law of the land. “In the District” interjected Mr. Worth- ington. “Yes, surely in this District," said Mr. Davis. Today, he said, it was the judiciary and not the {2y;, Theit Property, their lives were in the ids of the judges.’ There was nothing so important for the people as the elevation of the it ._ He believed the appointment of the man for whom he was serving as an understudy was the foretelling of the dawn of a better day.

This manner of selection, he declared, was an outrage upon Anglo-Saxon principles, upon every principle t 01 prevail inl such a matter. He in of the im of elevating the judiciary, whose character affected the nation’s welfare and touched every man’s interests. Men of every profession should lend their voices and give their best energies to the elevation of the judiciary. DR. W. W. JORNSTON. Dr. W. W. Johnston responded to the toast “Our wants and their treatment.” He spoke especially of the medical department and said that it was their duty to make just as good doctors as they could. The department of Columbian University is » prosperous one, but still they wanted a great deal. Money was needed to establish laboratories for the prac- tical instruction of students. One great neces- sity was for hospital instruction in our schools. He spoke earnestly of the importance of thorough training of the physicians who had the care of the lives and health of the community. In the establishment of hospital there were two things in view, the care of the poor and the education of young men. The layman ordinarily thought that « hospital was for no that rich men had began to give ge “i money Taste have the hospitals of the tity bo crane ized that they could be utilized for of medical He. hoped that those who heard him would take this matter to heart, fally realize its im) and try to have the wards of the hospitais open to medical students, PROF. H. CARRINGTON BOLTON. Prof. H. Carrington Bolton was called upon to speak to the sentiment “Our foreign rela- tions; how we stand outside.” Prof. Bolton spoke wittily of the difficulties he had encoun- tered in obtaining ideas for sspeech on the, subject of our foreign relations. He remem- dered, he aid, how the son of Pericles had ruled the world because he ruled his mother; his mother ruled Pericles; Pericles was master of Athens and Athens ruled the world. The most important nation on the face of the earth, he said, is the United States of America, In this great domain the most attractive city, the chief city, was Washington. In Washin, is this noble institution of learning, Columbian University, and at the head of the University was his good friend, Dr. J. C. Welling. PROF. CHARLES . MUNROE. Prof. Chas. E. Monroe responded to “The graduate school.” Prof. Munroe described briefly what had been done in organizing the graduate school. When the committees met to determine what action should be taken toward the organization of the graduate school upon looking about they found that what they first needed was men. They had projected a school which embraced a number of departments of arts and science. The increase in the teaching force had been twenty-five. In this graduate school the courses were arranged so as to lead up to the degrees of master of art or sciences, civil and electrical engineering and doctor of philosophy. Prof. Munroe described the requirements | for obtaining either of these degrees. All this, he said, been accomplished without ‘money, "and students were now engaged in pursuing the course. This he considered wonderful geblevement., They had added to thelr teaching force many distinguished men—men who resisted the golden attractions of the west, but had willingly come on an invitation to join the faculty of the Columbian University. Among the new things provided for in the arrange- | ment of the courses was a year's additional work to entitle one to the engineering degrees. Another novelty required the candidate for the degree of doctor of philosophy to defend his thesis before a committee of three experts, THE HONORED DEAD. “The cypress among our roses” was the line on tae program set opposite to the name of Rev. Dr. J. H. Cuthbert, When Dr. Cuth- | bert was called upon he read a poem in mem- | ory of Profs. Fristoe and Lee, two loved and | honored members of the faculty who have died since the last annual reunion of the alumni association. When Dr. Cuthbert finished rend- z. at the suggestion of Dr. King, all rose and | joined him in drinking in silence to the mem- ory of the dead. ~ 2 / PROF. OTIS T. MASON. ended the regular program, but Dr. King called up several whom the alumni de- sired to hear. Mr. Brainard H. Warner spoke briefly, saying that he hoped that all the pre- dictions made and all the desires of the presi- dent might be realized in the future of the university. Mr. E. B. Hay illumined what had been said by several stories aptly illustrating the senti- ment of the hour. Prof. Otis T. Mason spoke eloquently of the higher education which had beea referred to by President Welling and of the future of the uni- | versity. ‘The evening’s festivities were closed by sing- ing “Auld Lang Syne.” THOSE PRESENT. | _ Those present were Dr. G.

Providing for the Entertainment of the For- : eign Omcers. Rear Admiral Gherardi closed up his business atthe Navy Department yesterday afternoon and returned to New York in order to have all ‘the naval vessels at that port ready to start for Hampton Roads next Tuesday. Orders will be issued by Commodore Ramsay directing the Dolphin at Norfolk to report to the admiral upon his arrival for such use as he may think proper. The dispatch boat will not participate in the review further than to be used for the President, Secretary of the Navy and cabinet, who may go on to New York to witness the parade. Secretary Herbert will certainly be at Hempton Roads some time dur- ing the rendezvous, but the President's is rather doubtful. Members of the et may also accompany Mr. Herbert down the bay, as well as high officials of the government, but ail such plans will be left until a later day for settlement. Admiral Gherardi has been authorized to use about $25,000 of the $800,000 appropriated for the review for the entertainment of the foreign officers. He will make this amount go ae far as possible, but it is believed that nearly every officer of the fleet will be still put to more or less expenditure in extending hospitalities to their visiting brethren upon the occasions of both the rendezvous and the review. ‘These ex- penses, too, are by no means light, as is illus- trated by ‘an officer of one of the smaller ships that will be present, who says that he does not *expect to get off for less than @1,000. This amount will come out of the officer's own pocket. Many officers are trying to shirk duty at the review on account of the personal expense involved. Ir. other na- vies expenses of this kind are defrayed by the gove. nment. Admiral Gherardi has decided to use the Dolphin for all official dinners he may give at Hampton Roads and a few of the smaller ones in New York.

THE REFORM CLUB BILL. Tariff Reduction as Proposed by Ellery An- derson and Associates. A special committee of the Reform Club of New York, consisting of E. Ellery Anderson, Charles 8. Fairchild, Thomes.G. Shearman David A. Wells, John Dewitt Warner and Everett P. Wheeler, has completed a draft of a bill, as already announced in Tue Stan, which, when perfected. will be urged upon Congress as a substitute for the present tariff lay ind a fulfillment of the pledges under which the democracy has obtained control of the national j government. The bill will be presented to Sécretary Carlisle for his assistance in formu- lating the administration scheme for reforming the tariff, 4 THE PLAN OF THE BILL. The general principles upon which the pro- posed tariff has been framed are, in the main, as follows: ‘‘Crude material to be used in the process of manufacture are, in general, made free of duty. In taxing other articles the gen- eral object has been to fix such rates as would produce the largest amount of revenue in a series of years consistent with the large impor- tations, “The purpose of obtaining the largest revenue has, however, been limited by consid- eration of the welfare and necessities of the people at large, and especially the poorer classes. “The purpose of obtaining revenue for the government having been made in good faith, the sole reeson for levying any of these duties, it has not been thougtit necessary and hardly Proper to reduce rates merely for the purpose of avoiding some incidental protection to do- mestic producers. All duties have been made strictly ad valorem except some of those which have been levied as compensatory for internal Fevenue taxes upon similar articles produced at ome. UNDER AN AD VALOREM TARIFF. “In order to secure the honest administration of an ad valorem tariff it is essential that the rates of duty upon the great mass of articles | o should be kept at very moderate figures. Upon articles of immense valueand email bulk is1t ab solutely necessary to impore very low duties, because otherwise they will be smuggled by wholesale and no revenue will be obtained. Upon other articles experience has shown that duties be raised above 25 per cent _with- dangerous incentives to fraud, are kept at or below that rate the s to fraud are not often sufficient to compensate for the risk of punishment, A few ar- | ticles of Inxury may be excepted from the operation of these g in deference | to m widespread prejudice on that point, al- thoug! 1 may weil be doubted whether a duty of 25 per cent is not as much as can wisely be levied upon anything whatever. “All foreign articies which if made here | would be subject to internal taxes must, of course, be subject to at least an equal tax. SOME OF THE LUXURIES, “Silk is classed as a luxury, but silk ribbons are practically a necessity of life to the vast | luxury, and, therefore, we upon that than upon ordi liquors and tobacco the duties upon them | should be with a view of obtaining the greatest | possible amount of revenue without any con- | cern in so doing as to whether we give or with-| hold protection to the domestic producers, “Yielding in part to the popular opinion that silk is a lusury we have placed silk manufac- tures generally in schedule D at 20 per cent, instead of with cottons and woolens. Silk yarns, vil thread and sewing silk, which are now charged 30 per cent, are placed in schedule F at 20 per ceut and spun and thrown silk at 15 per cent, leaving raw silk, of course, free. A SWEEPING SCHEDULE. “The 25 per cent schedule isthe most im- portant of any and is purposely the most sweep- ang. Long experience has shown that this rate of duty upon the whole is the most productive of revenue, All forms of crude metal not merely in ores, but in pigs, ingots and bars,with the exception of iron and steel, have been made free of duty. “The duty upon woolens and worsted manu- factures of every description is placed at 25 per cent. Leather gloves and all other gloves, ex- cept of silk, are placed in the 25 per cent schedule. Gloves are not luxury; they ares necessity. “Tin plates should certainly not be taxed more than 20 per cent, and, perhaps, not more than 15 per cent. Manufactures of wood in the most finished forms are placed in the 20 per cent schedule, as also buttoms, excspt of metal or glass, Most provisions are made free of duty, but some, which partake in a mild degree of the nature of lixuries, are putin the 20 per cent schedule, while breadstuffs are mostly made free. Potatoes are left subject toa duty of 10 per cent. “It would be exceedingly desirable to have no specific free list, but make overything free which isnot made expressly subject to duty.
