The air continues to be filled with ru- mors about the chances of this or that Distriet democrat for appointment as reg- ister of wills by the President. The latest assertion is that Mr. J.Nota McGill,the well- know. young patent attorney, was being strongly pushed to succeed to Col. Wright by numerous influential friends. Mr. Mc- Gill has not been a candidat for the place and is not believed to have personal pa- pers on file in connection with it, but the gentlemen who wish to see him appointed seem confident that he would not refuse the position if the Presideut should tender it to him. The friends of Mr. J. Fred Kel- ly, who has heen a candidate for the reg- istership and who, it was thought, would be appointed several months ago, are still of the opinion that Mr. Kelly has excellent chances for receiving the nomination, and point out that while his record as a zealous working District democrat and his stand- ing as a young business man are as ex- alted as those of any of the other appli- carts for the position, his candidacy is also strongly urged by Mr. James L. Nor- ris, a District member of the democratic national committee, as well as many other leading Washirgtorians of similar political proclivities. Mr. William H. Dennis is re- garded in many quarters as having a strong chance for selection because of the support of Judge Morris and many intluen- tial members of ihe Washington bar. The selection of Mr. Dorsey Clagett as collector of the port of Georgetown and h‘s con- sequent retirement from the struggl@ for the registership is believed in some very well informed quarters to have strengthen- ed the case of Mr. W. Cranch MaciIntire. ——.__ THE HIGH SCHOOL CADETS. They Will Parade Today Unless It Rains Too Hard. Unless rain is falling to a considerable extent at 5 o'clock this afternoon the an- nual parade and exhibition drill of the regiment of High School Cadets will take place, as heretofore announced. The com- panies from the four High Schools have been ordered to rendezvous at the intersec- tion of 13th street and New York avenue at 5 o'clock. Shortly after that hour the regiment, headed by the Marine Band, will move by way of H street, Gth_ street and Pennsylvania avenue to the White Lot, where at 6 o'clock the drill will begin. Should rain prevent the turnout the ex- hibition will take place within a few days. During the afternoon the Marine Band will play the new and catchy “Morton Cadets’ March,” whick has already become popular among the soldier boys. Home and Foreign Missions. Tomorrow will be an interesting day to the women of the Methodist churches, the oceasion being the quarterly meetings of the Home and Foreign Missionary So- cleties at North Capitol Street Church. Mrs. Nathan Sites, who has spent so mary years in China, will preside at the foreign; Mrs. W. M. Springer, who is so widely known in our city in connection with home missionary work, will preside at the home. This closes Mrs. Springer’s present official relation to the work here, as Judge Springer has been assigned to duty in Indian territory. ——o—___ Patents Allowed.

PROMISING FIELD FOR THEIR EFFORTS —— Great National Problems Settled Forever. Se ete QUESTIONS FOR THE FUTURE AUBURN, Ala., June 12.—The chief fea- ture of the commencement exercises at the Agricultural and Mechanical College today was the address of Mr. Hilary A. Herbert, Secretary of the Navy, to the graduates. Preceding the Secretary’s remarks there were the usual addresses by college stu- dents and professors. Secretary Herbert was warmly received. The Secretary in the course of his remarks said: “In the first place, let me advise you to carry with you into the world, and cherish in your heart of hearts, the friendships you have made at college. Time and again will the memory of the days spent and the tasks accomplished within these walls in- spire and prompt you to grapple with the problems that beset you, and many will be the occasions when thé friends of your col- lege days will rejoice to lend you a helping end. “But, young gentlemen, beautiful and helpful as friendship ts, you cannot in this world rely for your own success on the help of friends; you must count on your- sclves. Conditions have been rapidly changing in our country during the whole of the century that is now drawing to its clese. * * * Our country is, however, still the most promising field’ of human effort, and, let me add, young gentlemen, that ff the task of success for you Is to be more arduous than for your fathers, the conditions are broader, !ife is more intense, and the prizes, when captured, will be more brilliant even than those that were won by your fathers.” Great Problems Settled. Mr. Herbert then briefly discussed two problems, which, he sald, gave great con- cecrn to our earlier statesmen. The first and fundamental question was as to the relative power of the general and state gcvernments. The great civil war settled it forever. Another question that divided the sections, north and south, was slavery. ‘That questioa, too, was settled by the war. The power of this gcvernment no citizen deres to disput2 except in its courts. ‘Men may question, and they are free to question, the wisdom of Congress, or of the President, or the justice or correctness of the decisions of the Supreme Court. That government, nevertheless, stands su- Freme. You are forturate, my young friends, that your fathers have not left to you, as their fathers did to them, any un- settled fundamental question pregnant with civil war. “Permit me to express the hope, young gentlemen, that none of you will leave this irstitution vaunting yourself upon having gctten away from the Bible lessons you learned at your mother’s knee; that none of you will affect to look down with pity upon the religion of your father as a su- perstition, claiming that scierce, the little smattering of it ycu can acquire in a year or so, has taught you all this.” Evolution, the Secretary said, had done much in some quarters to undermine faith in Christianity, but this was because it had heretofore confiried its researches to the wecorery of laws governing the physical world. Problems of the Future. Secretary Herbert believed that the prob- lem of the future that seemed now most @ifficult of solution would grow out of the relations between capital and labor. “What,” he asked, “is to be the outcome of this struggle between them? Will it be socialism? Socialism by attempting to equalize conditions would ‘abolish the springs of action. 1t would place energy and thrift and intellectual activity, aloug- side of ignorance ard sloth and profiigacy. On that dead level society would stagnate and man would relapse into the condition of the brutes of the field. No, gentlemen, this cannot and will not be. So long as heman nature remains as it is men will strive to excel, competition will go on, and, judging of the future by the past, it may be predicted with certainty that unless our people forget God and His teachings and go to cutting each other’s throats, as they did in the French revolution, the outcome of this conflict between capital and labor will be the betterment of social condi- tions.” The address closed with earnest advice to the students to be honest with themselves and not be deceived with the belief that they can be one thing and seem another. —_-—__ JAPANESE ARE SULLEN. Disappointed at the Ending of the War. iz TOKIO, Japan, May 31.—(Per steamer Emprees of China.)—No event of striking interest has occurred in the past fortnight, and none is expected till after the reunion of the Japanese ministry at Tokio. The people nourish in sullen silence their dis- content with the methods by which peace has been secured, and as a whole, refuse to participate in any display of gratifica- tion at the close of the war. In many quarters doubts are expressed as to the durability of the settlement with Russia, Germany and France. The news- papers are not permitted to speak freely, but a majority of those which escaped sus- pension hint at the probability that fresh entanglements are presently to be disclos- ed. Government securities continue de- pressed, and war bonds are selling at lower figures than before peace was declared. The last information that can be gathered from official circles is distinctly reassuring up to the present tim The foreign office affirms that no ground for apprehension exists with regard to either of the three recently hostile Euro- pean powers. The diplomatic representa- tives of those powers contradict all reports to the effect that further trouble is antici- pated. It is believed to be true that Rus- sia goes on strengthening the defenses at Viadivostock with undiminished energy. Japan evidently does not look upon this as a warning, for she is disbanding her re- serves and is preparing to reverse her army divisions to their peace footing. Ascertaining Public Opinion. The government is manifesting much curiosity respecting public opinion. The provincial governors throughout the em- pire have been ordered to inquire minutely into this subject and report. Public feel- ing is unfriendly to the administration. The acquisition of Formosa is taken as a matter of course, while the abandonment of Manchuria is bewailed as grievously as if the dearest hopes of the nation had been centered wholly upon that single strip of territory. Chinese soldiers of the worst class are al- ready rioting through the districts in For- mesa in which they are stationed. For- eigners at the forts are protected by de- tachments of marines from European ships, but until the armed rabble of a thousand or more is dispersed from the coast regions it will be perilously insecure. Enemies of the Li Family. It is understood that the younger Li Hung Chang, who was sent to Formosa as commissioner to arrange for the formalities of the transfer, went there against his in- clination, and circumstances again direct attention to the alleged precarious position of the Li family. Undoubtedly the vic2roy is now the object of particularly malignant intrigue, but he has baffled his enemies so often that no extreme consequence is ex- pected from this latest organized persecu- tion. The government of Corea has fallen into such demoralization that no pretense of re- form is now maintained. The ministers give no heed to public business, but scheme only to enrich themselves, by negotiating with Russia for the sale of a port on the eastern coast; some by offering counter Proposals to the European powers which are opposed to Russian aggrandizement; ethers by conniving at returning the exiles who were driven from the country for their crimes when China’s influence was de- throred.

The Coreans will assume that Japan has decided to abandon her task of regener- ating the wretched kingdom, and nothing can prevent the queen from reviving the corrupt system of former years. She will be supreme, for Tai Won Kung, who for- merly held her in check, has apparently | gone into decrepitude since his grandson was banished for plotting murder and treason. The old man's latest exploit was a cunningly arranged filght from his pal- ace with a view to joining the expatriated criminal, but a hundred policemen drove him back. The Japanese legatjon Is now quite dis- regarded, owing to the impression that Japan's ‘position in “Corea will hereafter depend on Russian dfctation; but the Jap- anese government denies any departure | from the policy of preserying Corea against self-destruction. Tadasu Haitushi, the Japanese vice min- ister of foreign affairs, has been appointed envoy to China, with special instructions for the settlement ofvall eutstanding ques- tions. 29182 Viscount Enomoto, the present Japanese minister of agriculture an@ commerce, has been appointed envoy to Russia for the secand time. ae ¥¢ Welcoming ‘the Mikndo. On May 30 all business was suspended in Tokio and the citizens welcomed the em- peror home after ati absence of eight months. The celebration was the finest ever witnessed in Japan. The population was increased hy multitudes ;of visitors from the provincial districts. All the prin- clpal thoroughfares were decorated with unparalleled richness and profusion. The pecple’s enthusiasm testified that disap- pointment with some results of the war had not diminished their loyal devotion to their sovereign. The festivities continued the greater part of the night. Fireworks blazed in every direction and in many quarters the rejoic- ings continued to the next day, when a second demonstration greeted the appear- ance of the empress. The American adventurer Howle, who broke his parole to the Japanese and was afterward captured at Wei-Hai-Wel, has been sent adrift again after several weeks of confinement at Hiroshima. He was last heard of at Shanghai. sabe OHL’S INJURIES FATAL. Death of the Princeton Student Early This Morning. PRINCETON, N..J., June 12.—Frederick Ohl, the Princeton student and popular foot ball player who was shot by the negro Collins on Saturday night, died shortly af- ter 4 o'clock this morning in the infirmary on the college grounds. Ohl began sinking at 8 o'clock last night, and steadily grew weaker until he fell into a comatose state. Student Cochran, who was also shot by the same negro, is not yet out of danger, but the attending physicians are hopeful of his recovery. As soon as the necetsary papers can be obtained from the county physician the body of the dead student will be taken to his father’s home. Mr. Ohl, who was with his son when the latter died, will accom- pany the remains, as will also a committee of Princeton students. It is expected that a committee will be appointed from the col- lege faculty to attend the funeral. County Prosecutor Stockton will present the case of the murderer, Collins, to the Mercer county grand jury, which is now in session at Trenton. Collins’ friends among his own race will see that he has able counsel to defend Fim. They believe his statement that he shot the students in self-defense. ——— THE TARIFF AND SILVER. Postmaster General’ Wilson Ques- tioned at St. Louis. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 12—Postmaster General Wilson, who passed through St. Louis yesterday, was asked: “Do you think the next Congress will pass a coin- age bill?” “No, I don’t,” said Mr. Wilson. “The coming House is not supposed to be a free silver body, you know, and, of course, the Senate will be powerless to do anything.” “Do you think the next Congress will take up the tariff matter?” “That,” he said, “will depend upon what the deficiency in the revenue may be shown to be on December,18. The tariff is doing very well. The deficiency is not due to the duties, but to,the deficiency in the internal revenue collections, on account of the whisky trouble, But. what the next Congress will do is a’ good deal of a mys- tery.” o “Do you think the republican House will attempt to put through any radical meas- ures?” “Hardly, as long aS the Senate is as it Is.” - —~._——_ WILL MEET AT BUFFALO.

The Department of Agriculture has re- ceived from-France an extended notice of the condemnation by the municipal chemist of Paris of a compound which is being sold in France under the name of American lard. The chemist has aseertained that the compound consists of hog offal treated ebemically at a high temperature and under strong pressure. It is deodorized and bleached with chlorides. The Journal des Debats, a Parisian newspaper of promi- hence, denounces this compourd sold in France under the name of American lard as unfit even for dogs to eat. The author- ities at the Agricultural Department know nothing of this alleged American product and intimate that it may not be of Ameri- can origin at all. LOST HIS OLD SPIRIT. Geronimo a Quiet, Docile Old Man Now. Gen. Merritt ot the Department of Mis- souri will purchase $10,000 worth of cattle at Fort Sill Saturday next, to be given to the 213 Indian prisoners of war at that post, comprising the remnant of Geronimo’s warlike Apache band. The recent session of Congress appropriated $15,000 to be ex- pended in putting the band to work on the farm lands about the reservation. Though still considered prisoners of war, the mem- begs of the band have as much freedom as any other reservation Indians. Since their confinement, now running over a period of nearly ten years, the members of the band have lost much of their old spirit, and Geronimo is represented to be a quiet, docile old man. ——__ -e+-____ The President Accepted. As stated in yesterday's Star, President Cleveland has accepted the invitation ten- dered by representative citizens of Atlanta to visit the Atlanta exposition.

EARLY CLOSING What Merchants Say About Sum- mer Business Hours, A MOVEMENT THAT MEETS WITH FAVOR Stores That Have Most of Their Trade at Night. INFLUENCE OF LOCALITY — The early closing movement meets with more and more favor every day. It is not an experiment in this city. It has been tried in years gone by, and it is said that there is not a firm in town that, having given it a fair trial, has ever abandoned it. On the other hand, there are a number of business houses which have expressed their intention of this year for the first time closing their doors at a reasonable hcur, so as to give employers and em- ployes alike the opportunity of getting a brief rest these warm summer evenings that otherwise would find them confined in clcse quarters and hot rooms. A complete census of the city has not been made, nor would it be practicable or particularly serviceable. Still there is every reason to believe that a much larger number of stores and offices will close early this summer than ever before. The unani- mous expression of opinion on the part of the employers who show this consideration to their employes is to the effect that they do not lose a cent by it, but rather gain in the increased health and efficiency of their employes. Their customers may be a little surprised at the change at first, but they soon accommodate themselves to the new order of things, and seem to appreciate it when the men they deal with are fair to- ward those with whom they are connected. * Approves the Movement. Following one of the earlier articles printed in The Star on the subject of early closing came a letter from the head of one of the largest business houses in the city arproving heartily of the stand taken. He is probably the leading man in his line of business in Washington. There never has been any doubt that the clerks approve of early closing. The only question was whether the employers could agree to it without any material Joss to their business interests. So ‘t is that a letter of this sort means a good deal, and should encourage ethers to give the matter their support. In the course of th letter the writer says: “I feel it my duty to thank you for your liberal article on early closing. I haven't any doubt but that its influence will have great effect. You may place my name upon the list of paint a:d oil dealers, as my store will b2 closed beginning June 15 at 5 p.m. during the summer months.” In urging the general adoption of the early closing rule the suggestion has not been made that rule can be made uni- versal in its application. There are a num- ber of lines of business where to shut at 5 every afternoon but Saturday and to give the clerks a half-day holiday then would be disastrous in the extreme. The Star has already pointed out this fact that stores which make a speialty of ering to the trade of mechanics and others who are at work until a late hour in the afternoon would deprive themselves of their viest trade if they were not open until a rea- sonable hour in the evening, Saturday evening especially. Then, too, interested merchants insist that locations play no inconsiderable part in the matter. Seventh street merchants say that so much of their trade is done in the evening that the same fule will not apply to them as works with the business houses on F street and Pennsylvania avenue. In the case of the latter, they say that the bulk of the down- town trade is made up of customers who can do their shopping early :n the day just as webl as not. Where It Will Not Apply. A Star reporter discussed the situation at some length today with a prominent 7th street shoe dealer, who runs three big establishments in different sections of the city. In the course of the conversation that gentleman said: “No man would be more willing than I to close earlier duririg the hot weather, if such a thing were possible. I would enjoy the extra hours of leisure and recreation quite as much as any of my clerks, but if I were to close at 5 o'clock I should cut myself off from the larger part of my bus- iness, and a half holiday on Saturday would be even more out of the question. You see, my trade is for the most part with mechanics and other classes of men who are not able to get out to purchase the necessaries of life until after sundown. Their principal chance to purchase shoes, clothing and things of that sort is Satur- day evening, and it would be a positive hardship to a large class of people if the shops in this section of the city were to close earlier than 'y do now. “As it is, we are as considerate as we can be of our employes during the hot weather. Whenever the occasion permits we let some of our people off early of evenings. In the daytime things are rather slack, and we give them ample time to go home for their dinners. If we closed earlier we would get more hours a day work out of our clerks than we do now, for we would have to do as the stores which close early do now, and that is to compel the clerks to get their dinners after they leave, We now give our clerks from an hour to an hour and a half in which to go home, and this gives them a good oppor- tunity to get a little rest and fresh air during the middle of the day. Personally, I am in favor of early closing, and, if it Were possible, would put it into effect in my stores.” Hopes to Induce All. - Another view of the matter, which, like all questions, has two sides, is expressed in a communication received today by The Star from Mr. W. P. Van Wickle, which is as follows: “We notice the efforts of the Star to in- augurate the early closing movement among the business firms of Washingtorr with great pleasure, and we believe in the Practice as well as the theory. For the past three years the Bradbury piano ware- rooms have been clo: during the summer months, from June 15 to September 15, daily at 5 p.m. and Saturday at 1 o'clock, and will continue early closing this sum- mer. We were one of the first firms in the piano business to inaugurate this move- ment, and have been trying for several years past to get the other firms in cur line to adopt the early hours for summer, but with only partial success. We are in hopes of inducing all to close early the coming summer. We hope The Star will push the crusade against long hours with greater vigor than ever, for we are confident that such a crusade would meet with success. We do not find that early closing interferes with business in the least, and, as above stated, we have tried it for three years. It gives the clerks a little chance to breathe during the hot weather, and makes them all the better fitted to undertake the next day’s work by being allewed to go off an hour or so earlier the day before. The Star will have our heartiest co-operation in this commendable crusade, both in theory and practice, for we shall commence early clos- ue June 15 and continue it until September 5. ——— Press Club Convention.
