FROM M’KINLEY'S HANDS/UNION LABOR’S INTERESTS MERRY MYSTIC SHRINERS The President Confers Diplomas on National University Graduates. Exercises of Law School Commence- ment—Address by Senator Thurston of Nebraska—Gr: juating Class. It is an honor to receive a diploma from the Lands of the President of the United States, but this distinetion was conferred upon the graduates of the law school of the National University last evening. The twenty-elghth annual commencement of that institution of learning was held at the National Theater, in the presence of a distinguished audience, and under most auspicious circumstances. The theater probably never looked pret- tler than it did last night, gay, as it was, with decorations of flags and flowers, and with the brilliant costumes of the ladies, who formed the larger part of the audi- ence. Upon the stage the graduates were grouped at one side, and there was a gath- ering of distinguished men on the other: President McKinley, Vice President Ho- bart, Senator Thurston, Secretary Gage, Assittant Secretary Vanderlip, Assistant Secretary Spaulding, Gen. Dumont, Com- missioner Evans, Judge bradley, Judge Shepard, Private Secretary Porter and other well known men. Throughout the evening Haley's Band rendered popular musical selections, and was frequently ap- plauded for its excellent work. Senator Thurston’s Address. Ex-Civil Service Commissioner Lyman presided, and welcomed the guests of the evening, after which Rev. Hugh Johnston offered prayer. Senator Thurston deliv- ered the address to the graduates in a brief, but exceedingly eloquent speech. The senator paid a high tribute to the profes- sion upcn which the graduates were about to enter, and said that an honorable ca- reer was open befere them, but that they need net expect riches. No lawyer, he said, gets rich from the law alone. He would lay down three injunctions upon a young man about to enier the profession of law. The first is the worship of Gad, because God is the foundation of all lews; the second is love of country, and the third to always support the sanctity of the courts of the United States. He said that the courts are the bulwarks against which the risirg tide of misrule and mob prac- tices beats in vain. Senator Thurston counseled the young men to be hénest in the practice of law, and uphold the profession, for it was an honest profession, and the secrets of the lawyer's office were as closely guarded and are as inviolate as the secrets ot the con- fessional. He ventured the asserti hat with the millions of dollars annually placed in the hands of lawyers by their ciients, less of it was lost than with the same amount deposited in benks. President Conferred Diplomas. At the conclusion of the senator’s re- marks, President McKinley conferred the degrees upon the graduates.

Glen Echo Difficulty—Delegates Dis- cuss the Effects of Prison-Made Shoes—Beer on Unfair List. The attendance at,the meeting last even- ing of the Central Labor Union was not as large as usual, owing to the fuct that most of the members were of the impres- sion that no meeting would take place, yesterday being a legal holiday. President Spohn, however, called the meeting to order, and Mr. J. J. Crowley officiated as secretary. Delegate Heisley of the carpenters re- ported that the troubles at Glen Echo, which had been brought to the attention of the C. L. U. at a previous meeting, still remained unsettled. He also stated that the carpenters had succeeded in keeping the employer referre] to from getting a new complement of hands, as he had tried to do. The carpenters, he further stated, had a committee on the ground to look after their interests in this connection, and the sheriff of Montgomery county, Md., was called upon by the ccutractor to drive the members of the committe2 away, but that official refused to do so, upon the grounds that the men were not disorderly. Delegate Klausmann oi the Brewery Workers’ Union reporied ‘that a certain brand of beer, made outswe of the Dis- trict, but handled here to some extent, is on the unfair list. Committee Appointed. The statement was further made that the proprietor of one of the breweries em- ploying union labor is unaole to fill his orders from his own product, and that he supplies the outside-made beer to various customers. A committee was appointed to call upon the brewer refcrred to and notify him that the outside-ma:de Ler specified is objectionable to members of «rganized labor societies. az General Organizer Henry Goodman of the Boot and Shoe Workers’ National Union made an address in advocacy of the use of union labels. He also spoke of the competition between convict-made ‘shoes and boots and those produced by members of labor societies. In that connection he said, that in 1885 there were $3,500,000 worth of shoes made in the New York state prisons, but that, through the efforts of organized labor in the state, the product had been so mater. jally restricted that in 1895 but $175,000 worth were turned out from all the penai institutions there. As great success had, he said, been attained through the same means in Massachusetts, the prison output there, which was formerly very great, now being so small that it does not conflict with honest labor. Virginia Convict Work. of the 1,900 convicts in the Virginia peni- tentiary, 1,500 of them were, Mr. Goodman said; employed in making ‘shoes, and. the remaining 400 in manufacturing tobacco. The injurious effects of prison labor on the product of honest labor, he maintained,were shown by the fact that several years ago there were four large shoe factories in the city of Richmond, employing many hun- dreds of workmen, all of whom were driven out of existence because they could not compete in price with prison-made goods. The proprietors of these factories, there- fore, discharged their hands, closed their factories, and themselves became _ con- tractors for the making of shoes within the prison walls. Delegate Silver announced the District Commissioners would give a public hear- ing Tuesday to all persons who desired to see them on the subject of cleaning the streets of the city by hand. A committee of three was appointed to be present on the part of the Central Labor Union and urge that the work be done by hand labor. ———__ ROWLAND ON EARTHQUAKES, Johns Hopkins Professor Tells Some of the Theories Regarding Them. Regarding the earthquake of yesterday Prof. Henry A. Rowland of Johns Hop- kins University said to a reporter for the Baltimore Sun: “Eartnquakes are phenomena that scien- tists do not yet clearly understand. It is difficult to determine what causes them. “Some assert that they are caused by waters of the sea pouring into crevices in the earth’s crust and thus coming into con- tact with the fiery elements in the earth’s center. The result of this would be similar to a gigantic boiler explosion. “Other theorists hold that earthquakes are caused by the contraction of the earth’s crust. The earth is constantly cooling, and it is held that the outer crust necessarily contracts. This is sometimes done by fits and starts, and immense shelves of rocks, portions of the earth’s outer skin, or strata, after being subjected to immense pressure, suddenly yield to the strain and overlap each other. Done under great pressure and over a large territory, this causes a dis- turbance of the earth’s surface, which is plainly felt and which we call an earth- quake. Scientists of today seem generally inclined to this latter theory. “No one can predict the coming of an earthquake nor why it is felt in certain localities more than in others except upon the theory that disturbances in the crust of the earth are generally regional and the waves sent out die away after a time. ‘These waves move more rapidly than sound and also have about the same horizontal velocity from a heavy as from a ‘light quake. This velocity is somewhere in the neighborhood of a mile a second. There is really a very slight backward and forward movement of the earth's surface. Such a movement of an inch would throw down nearly every building under which it “Earthquakes are more frequent in vol- canic countries,” continued Prof. Rowland, “because the earth's crust is thinner there, and not because of the presence of the vol- canocs. The fact of volcanoes existing is @ proof of the thinness of the carth’s crust. In Japan, where earthquakes are of frequent occurrence. srtent “The earthquake tremors felt here were no doubt caused by the contraction of earth's crust somewhere beneath this tion of the country.” ——_—_-o-___ + STONED BY A MOB. “Divine Healer” Schrader Forced to Flee From a Missouri Town. “Divine Healer’ Schrader was stoned out of Clayton, a suburb of St. Louis, Mo., yes- terday morning, by a crowd of men and boys.

The ladies’ cormmittees, also an- nounce an exclusive entertainment for lady Shriners at the Empire theater. It will be useless for any noble to attempt to gain admission, but taey will be permitted to congregate wherever else they please and guess what is going on, just as the ladies are sometimes supposed to do when Shrine meetings are in progress. At 2 p.m. nobies and ladies will join in a trolley ride party about the city.

Gallops Off Easily With the Brooklyn Handicap Stakes. Howard Mann galloped home, almost alone, in the Brooklyn Handicap at Gravesend yesterday afternoon. The crowd was like that on the day the long shot Di- abolo walked off with the stake, for there was scarcely an inch of space in the grand stand or on the lawn that was not occu- pied when the race was being run. There was little hope of a.large assemblage in the early morning hours, for a heavy fog hung over the land and drizzling rain was falling at intervals. It was the usual iuck of the Brooklyn Jockey Club, as it has rarely had a really good day and track for its big race. Toward noon,: however, the rain ceased, the sun began to dissipate the fog and by the time people were beginning to think of starting for the race track it was a beautiful spring day. By the time. the bugle sounded for the horses to go to the post there were fully 15,000 people present. All the entries;looked absolutely fit and able to run for their tives, and Handspring seemed the king of taem all as he pranced at the head of the string. He was undoubtedly the favorite. There was much surprise at the appear- ance of Howard Mann, but he had been sent instead of The Wipner, as he was a good mud horse. They {were at the post but a few minutes and made but one falre break, At half-past 4 the starter caught them in line, the barrigr: was raised, the red flag swished through: the air and the eleven thoroughbreds were off on their journey, at the end of which $10,000 was hung up for the leaders.
