The second day's commencement ex- ercises of the Theological Seminary of Vir- ginia were opened this morning with pray- er by the Right Rev. John B. Newton of the diocese of Virginia, after which the following members of the graduating class read essays on the subjects given respe tively: Archer Boogher of St. Louis, sub: ject, “Justification by Faith;'" Robert W. Patton, Lindsay, Va., subject, “The Rela- tion of Science to Religion;” Hugh McDon- ald Martin of Fredericksburg, Va., subject, Broad Churchmanship as Exemplified by the Life and Works of Rev. Fred W. Rob- * John G. Scott of Richmond, sub- ject, “Christian Socialism.” All of the es- says were delivered. in a forceful manner and contained a great deal of common sense and reflect much credit on their re- spective authors. They are said to be the best essays delivered at the seminary for a number of years past, and are much complimented by the members of the alum- ni who heard them. At 12:30 o'clock a re- cess wes taken until 3 p.m. and during this interval a delightful feast was participated in by the students, the alumni and their many fair guests.

WATSON WAS DISAPPOINTED NEW LONDON, Conn., June vard’s freshman eight-oared crew, of victory, were defeated today by Yale, while Columbia was third,in the annual tri- angular race over two miles of Thames wate Coach Watson of Harvard fs said recently to have stated that if his freshmen could not win this year, there was litle hope for his ‘varsity eight, which rows Yale tomor- rew. Be that as it may, Mr. Watson, after the race today, was a severely disappointed man. ‘Bob’ Cook, who coaéhed Ya ad who has grown used to feeling well*after New London boating events, was serenely cemfortable, though possibly somewhat sur- prised, after the event of today. Mr. Peet,the rubicund coach of Columbia, saw his white and blue lads beaten with greater equanimity than as though he had not beneath him the prestige of Monday’s victory on the Hudson. Wind and Water Favorable. The weather and water favored a good race. A fair southeast breeze was blowing up the ccurse over an incoming tide, heavy clouds shaded the water, the attending steamers were well under control, and all things united to good racing and comfort- able observation. Just above the railroad bridge, whence the crews wera to row two miles up the river with the tide, was anchore a huge flcat. Yale's launch, with the freshinen alcard, and towing their shell, was first to steam down from their quarters and anchor ngside the float. The shell was brought to the other side and the men deposited themselves in the light craft and pulled dewn below the bridge. Harvard's little launch, with Coach Wat- son and r ew aboard, next drew to the nd entered their shell, pulling down below the starting line, so that Columbia might range up to the float and board their shell, which they did about 10. o’cle a All three crews then paddled about helow the line until the referee's whist im- moned them to the stake boats, whi with their sterns on the starting line just above the bricxe. Referee Guy Richards lined up the crews, while Veteran Adee stood bestde him to do cfficial timing. 27.—Har- confident Harvard Leads. At 10 o'clock the word given. F vard first caught the water. Columbia's cars flasked next, while Yale, in the mid- dle course, was sagging back. Harvard en the Groton side and Columbia on the New Li pulled each a half length x stroke: brief, h starting Sat ert for the lead, rowing wi strokes to the minute. This told in nd inches ‘of difference between the mand the blue, Harvard gaining on and Yale overhauling and leading py an equal distance at the qua there was no clear water be- ells. ew ragged as she neared the half raile flag, and it became thus t the New York lads were the two other crew: alf the time tells nt over the behind came Yale’ Y, at 3S strokes to the minute, hile t then clear water Yale olimbia, who AS ¥ n the sh Columbia first early evident th entel: i At the first Harvard w length inging in tween All Crews Distressed, Entering the second half of the first mile, Columbia's bowman cavght a crab and broke the fastening bar of his row lock. Thence onward the bow was a load in the beat. He was scarcely able to pull his weight. There was distress, too, in Yale's beat. No. 2 wa: ing his first wind and No. 4 in Harvard's shell was bucking his oar. The crimson crew were saw teething from side to side in ragged form Yale, though cistressed,was pulling along gamely at 34 strokes to the minute as the shells passed the first mile flags. She was then japping Harvard by one-third of a length, and her time at the mile was 4.58. One-quarter of a second later came the erimscn shell, while Columbia trailed over three clear boat lengths In the rear in 5.15. Thence» the race was Yele’s, though by an exceedingly slender margin. The margin rew, however, from the first mile flags. 0. 2 in Yale's boat had gained his second wind and was’ again getting his back on the oar with some power. Harvard's men had drcpped their stroke to a weary swing at 32 and 34 strokes. Columbia “was losing momentarily. Her bowmen frequently unshipped his oar, and his comrades were obliged to carry his dead weigkt until he was able to replace the blade ° Spart at the Clore. «The closing of the race, viewed broadly so that the discress In neither of the lead- ing shells was evident, was close and spirit- ed. The nearness of Harvard to Yale kept alive the crimson hope of a winning spurt. It was not in the boat, however, and Yale went over the two-mile and finish line in ten minutes and twenty-eight seconds frem the start. Harvard ‘crossed in 10.33, a length behind, while poor Columbia, with a disabled outrigger, finished in 11.18! from the start, about sixteen lengths behind Yale and fifteen behind Harvard.

NEW LONDON, Conn., June 27.—The As- sociated Press also scored a triumph to- day by instantly announcing over its spe- cial wire along the river shore that Yale was winner of the race. Others seeking to report the event by wire sent out the false statements that Columbia had won, and again that Harvard was the victor. Operators and trained men, stationed on the Associated Press wire at the start and finish, gave a sharp description of the con- test as it proceeded. When the crews crossed the finish line the Associated Press men directly on the line, with their in- struments and glasses, accurately distin- guished and flashed away the winner, which was Yale. Meantime the United Press were telegraphing that Columbia had won the race, and as the putative opposi- tion was straightening out {ts tangle the full story of the event was flowing out on the wires of the dominant news organ- ization of the United States. —— MONETARY CONVENTIONS. STATE Opposition to Their Being Called in California and Indiana. LOS ANGELES, Cal. June 27.—Chairman Gould of the democratic state central com- mittee has addressed a communication to J. W. Mitchell of this city in answer to a request from the latter that the state democratic committee be convened for the purpose of calling a convention of the dem- ocratic party to take a positéon on the sil- ver question. Mr, Gould says in part: “I cannot now see how it will be practi- cable to call together a conventlun in this state whose conclusions could sup- plant the position taken by our party last fall unless primaries and county conven- tions be held, which course I am satisfied would not meet with popular favor. A democratic state convention met last fall in San Francisco as numerous, as able, and as representative as any that ever as- sembled in Culifornia, That i announced the position of the party on the silver question, as on other matters, then deemed to be important political is- sues, but I cannot but consider it rather presumptuous—no representatives to be se~ —=—— THE OFFICIAL | 50 EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken a! fsobars or lines of equal air pressure, drawn for ¢: or lines of equal temperature, drawn for each t areas of high and low barometer.

QUAY CONFIDENT. Believes He Will Be Chairman of the Republican Sinte Committee. PHILADELPHIA, June 27.—United States Senator Quay left Harrisburg late last night for his home in Beaver county where he will remain until next week. The Senator’s foot,« which he injured while fishing near Atlantic City two weeks «go, is still swollen and very painful. He 1s confident that he will be elected state chairman by the republican state committee, notwithstanding the fight that is being made against him by his op- ponents In the party. He expresses re- gret, however, that his injured foot com- pels him to iemain at home instead of making a personal tour of the state in behalf of his candidacy. Banking Commissioner B. F. Gilkeson, the present chairman, is equally +ontident of his own re-election, Both the Quay and Gilkeson factions are working hard The circular letter sent out by Senator Quay asking for support reads as follows: “I am a candidate for the chairmanship of the republican state committee, and I will feel greatly obliged to you if you will aid in sending friendly delegates from your county to the approgching state conven- tion. If your delegates are elected please do me the favor to personally see them and request them to co-operate with me in the convention. Any assistance you may render in this matter will be fully appre- ciated. I trust I may see you in Harris- burg a day or two prior to August 28, when I will have the opportunity to meet you personally. Thine, very truly, “M. S. QUAY.” — NEELEY ZOUAVES GOING.

SAN DIEGO, Cal., June 27.—Voicanic dis- turbances are again reported in the Coco- pah country of Lower California. George Neal, a mining man, has just returned from that region and says that on Sunday he saw smoke ascending from the central peak of three mountains that rise several | hundred feet above the desert. The smoke spurted high in the alr and was accom- panied by sounds like distant cannonading. The Indians told Neal that mud yolcanoes, gas fissures, hot springs and fire volcanoes were ail at work -nore actively than ever. POPULIST KOLB The Alabama Leader Talks of His Party's Prospects. RECEIVING ACCESSIONS EVERY DAY No Fusion With the Republicans at All Likely. WHY HE CHANGED HIS VIEWS SSS Capt. Reuben F. Kolb, the leader of the populists of Alabama, who was the centrai figure of stirring scenes at the time Gov. Oates took his seat, is in the city, stop- ping at the Metropolitan. Capt. Kolb al- ways chooses the stronghold of the de- mocracy headed by ex-Speaker Crisp, the Metropolitan, as a place to put up while in Washington, and in that way he generally meets on friendly terms many prominent democrats who happen to be in the city during his visit here. Capt. Kolb ts eyery inch a southerner in appearance, of stout build, a clean shaven face, with the exception of a gray mus- tache, kept well trimmed, and hair that shows few traces of the black locks which he possessed twenty-five@years ago. But Capt. Kolb moves about with the energy of a younger man, and carries a deter- mined countenance at ail times. He is generally miid in manner, but when he talks about Alabama polities he is apt to indulge in strong adjectives. Several prominent democrats of Alabama haye lately claimed that Capt. Kolb is losing his following, and that the populists of that state are becoming discouraged of ever gaining success under his leadership. The idea has been given forth that the popullsts themselves have begun to see the errors of their ways and are again re- turning to the democratic party. A Star reporter mentioned these reports to Capt. Kolb. A Lively Corpse. “The people who say these things,” said the populist leader, “do not believe them. If they think that the populist party of Alabama is a corpse they will find that it is the Mvellest corpse they have ever had to deal with. Far from being discouraged, throughout the populist party there is 4 determination that at the next ¢lection we -will have a fair ballot and count. There is no doubt that in the last election two- thirds of the white people of Alabama voted the populist ticket. They are ready to vote it again and the party is receiving accessions all the time. “I will cite one circumstance partly per- sonalto myself to show that there Is much Wife in our party. It is just nine months ago today that I started the People’s Tribune at Birmingham. It ‘s a weekly paper, but it pays more postage into the Alabama post office than any paper of the city, weekly or daily. We have the largest circulation of any paper in the state, and we are fight- ing straight ahead in perfecting our state organization. I believe that the election which comes off one year from next Au- gust will be a populist victory not only in the sense that we had a victory in our last contest, but our votes will be counted and our candidates will be seat The Conditions Have Changed. “You ask why I can hope for this out- come in yiew of the fact that we did not succeed at the last election. I reply that the conditions will have changed—indeod, they have changed now. We were but poorly organized in our last election and Were not prepared to enforce our rights. We now have ar organization in eve county of the state, and, more than that, an amendment to our election law has been adopted, which will do much in helping us to get our rights. In the last eleccion the democrats had the power in the black belt to appoint any man they saw fit to represent our party at the polls. They se- lected some ignorant negro, who might be bought for half a dollar, to represent us, so that that theoretical protection was of no Practical use to us. But the amendment to our election law provides that the organiza- tion of each party shall name three men, one of whom must be selected to represent it at the polls. By this method we can get another class of men to look out for our interests, and the result of that will be very material. Won't Fuse With the Republicans. “There is no Mkelihood of the populists of Alabama fusing with the republican party in the future. I have advocated that no such course be adopted, and in order to determine the sentiment of the state I nave sent circular letters to all the membe-s of the state executive committee of the pop- ulist party, as well as to other prominent members of the organization. The senti- ment shown in the replies I have received is almost unanimous against fusion. Of about forty members of our executive com- mittee, only four or five hesitate In pro- nouncing in an unqualified way against fusion. The others straddle the question, ard say that {t may prove deslfable to bring about fusion in the state “election, but not in the national election. I canaot udorse any such position as that. If we eannot fuse on national questions we can- not on state queStions, = - “While I am a populist,” continued Capt. Kolb, “I do not concede first place in my loyalty to true Jeffersonian democracy to any man, What the populists are fighting for in Alabama is just that democracy. You can depend upon it, we are voing right ahead, with no feeling of discouragement, and the real cyclone in Alanama is yet to come. We, have got to have our yotes counted and must seat our candidates when elected, or know the reason wh: For myself, I have no idea of again be- coming a candidate for governor, but, of course, It {s Impossible to look too closely tmto the future. But I am in the fight in Alabama, and I am there to stay, too.” Capt. Kolb is an Alabamian by birth, and takes great pride in recalling the fact. that he was a member of the first company organized for service in the confederacy and that he afterward served tm this com- any as a body guard to Jefferson Davis. le was in the confederate service until the end of the war, and until 1892 was a stanch democrat and prominent in the affairs of his party. The circumstances that led him to leave his party were recited to The Star reporter. Why He Left the Democratic Party. “In 1890," said Capt. Kolb, “I went to the convéntion which was to nominate a governor, with 252 votes pledg-d to my support in a total of 5G1. The next strong- est candidate had but eighty pledged votes, and yet a combination was formed there which resulted in the nomination of Jones. I put my case before the convention, abid- ed by its decision, and went mto the cem- paign to harmonize my friends, with the resuit that we elected the governor with 100,000 majority. Again, in 1892, I went to the*convention with a majority of the 444 delegates pledged to my support. That con- vention was so manipulated that great numbers of contesting delegates were seated in the place of those pledged to me, and my friends were not even allowed seats on the floor of the convention hall. The injustice that was there practiced was so gross that two democratie candidates were put into the field to contest the election. I was defeated through methods similar in many ways to those practiced in 1894," Capt. Kolb says that his visit to Wash- ington has no significance so’ far as his party work is concerned. He !s away for a few days’ outing, and left at 11 o'clock this. morning to return to Birmingham within a few days. —-e—___ The Rico Duel in Court.

Ludlow, dated at Rivas, Nicaragua, June 2, shows that all Is going well with the commission; that the health of the party has been excellent, that the climatic conditions have not in- terfered with its work, and that the Nica- raguan government has extended every at- tention and courtesy, and has tried to make their stay agreeable and profitable.
