The baccalaureate sermon before the members of the graduating class of Co- lumbian University was delivered by Rev. Dr. Whitman, president of the university, last evening at Calvary Baptist Church. The large audience was made up of stu- dents, graduates and friends of the uni- versity, and close attention was given to the eloquent and thoughtful sermon. The members of the faculty of the university and the graduating class, among whom are six young ladies, headed by the deans of the different departments, marched into the church and took the seats set apart for their use. The opening services were conducted by Rey. Dr. Greene, the pastor of the church, and exceilent music was sung by the quartet of the church. Prayer was offered by Rev. John T. Judd of Lewis- burg, Pa. President Whitman's sermon was based on the text, “I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong and the word of God abldeth in you, and ye have overcome the evil one.” He spoke words of counsel, as well as of chear, to those who are about to enter upon their active life careers. — INCREASING THE REGIMENTS. Many New Recruits to Be Put Into Existing Organizations. Adjutant General Corbin says that it has been definitely decided to use about 50,000 of the volunteers to be raised under the new call in filling out deficient regiments already organized under the old call, It will take about that number to fill each company up to the maximum limit of 106 men. The remaining 25,000 volunteers will be organized into regiments of three bat- talions each and distributed among the states and territories in exactly the same proportion as under the first call. No cay- alry, however, will be accepted and only @ very limited number of artillery. Through urgent representations to Secretary Alger some of the states were permitted under the first call to furnish a greater number of troops than they were legally entitled to on the basis of population. Consequent- ly, in raising the 75,000 men under the sec- ond call these inequalities will be remedied as far as practicable, with the result that some of the states may not be called on to furnish any of the men needed. This course probably may give rise to discon- tent in states where men are anxious to serve, but it is regarded as the only fair way in which to proceed. o Preparing Muster Rolls. The Secretary of War has directed that enlisted men belonging to different regi- ments or distinct organizations shall not be mustered on the same roll. Separate rolls must be prepared, one roll for the members of each regiment or organization. ‘These instructions will also govern in the preparation of pay rolls. The order does not apply, however, to patients im the United States general hos- pitals. ‘ihe surgeon in charge of each will be governed by special instructions com- municated direct. $e. ___ Inspection of the Soldiers’ Home. By direction of the Secretary of War, tha arnual inspection of the Soldiers’ Home in the District of Columbia will be made by ‘the inspector general of the army, in per-{ scn, and that of the National Homé for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, its records, irsement se'made by discipline and gendltion, wil by an. oficer of hin Aspersions on Naval Officers by the Department of Justice. ‘The Secretary of the Navy has instructed Admiral Sampson, commanding the naval forces on the north Atlantic station, to convene a naval court of inquiry at the earliest practicable moment to establish all facts in relation to charges of alleged mis- conduct on the part of prise commissioners and deputy marshals on board the captur- ed steamers Cathalina and Miguel Jover. These complaints were recently made the subject of an investigation by Mr. J. M. Stripling, United States attorney at Key West, Fla. He reported to the Department of Justice, and a copy of his report was re- ferred by Attorney General Griggs to the Navy Department. District Attorney Strip- ling deciared that the charges were ground- less, and that Admiral Sampson and Navas! Cadet Jones had attempted to asperse the character of persons with whom they were unacquainted by means of “base and de- liberate falsehoods.” In notifying Attorney General Griggs of the action of the Navy Department in or- dering a further investigation of the mat- ter Secretary Long commented upon the re- port of District Attorney Stripling in the following caustic manner: “In this connection the Navy Department cannot fail to express its surprise at th tone employed in the letter of Mr. Strip- ling in reply to Admiral Sampson's charg: and in that of your department transmit- ting the same. Rear Admiral Sampson as passed upward of forty years of his fe in the naval service of the United tes, during which his career has been t honorable one and his character for integrity unimp able; and he has the e of the Pr nt to such an ex- n intrusted with the nt command under the Navy in the present war with Spain. Naval Cadet Needham L. Jones, who made the original charges, is an officer in whos: integrity the department has equal fa‘th “Yet Mr. Stripling characterizes the re- port of these officers as a ‘willful and de- berate attempt to asperse the characters of individuals with whom he ¢ t Jones hus no acquaintance by means of base an deliberate falsehoods,’ and the letter of the Attorney Gene i fact in dispute hav proof, in forwé ment without disavowing nary language of a representative of the Department of Justice, refers to the report of Rear Admiral Sampson as ‘groundless accusations.” “This department cannot but regret the forms of expression employed in the letters referred to. A copy of these will at once be sent to Admiral Sampson for examination and report by a court of inquiry. a THE “JENKINS EAR” ISSUE, It Resulted in a New Era of Acti im England. From the Cornhill, Spain claimed io be mistress, by decree of the pope, of all the seas and continents ccvered by the vague title of “the Spanish Main,” and so for two centuries, whatever was the case in Europe, perpetual war raged in the tropics. By the Assiento treaty the British were atiowed to dispatch one ship, not exceed- ing 600 tons, to the Spanish Main each ear: but what parchment skin of treaties could keep the volume of the world’s trade flowing through such a petty squirt!

APHICAL NAMES, Report of the Board in Connection With n Scheme for Uniformity. From the Bulletin of the American Geographical Society. The United States board on geographic names was created September 4, 1890, in order that uniform usage in regard to geo- graphic nomenclature and orthography might obtain throughout the executive de- partments of the government, particularly upon maps and charts. The total number of its decisions is now nearly 4,000, or, with county names, over 6,700. Among the decisions rendered are many of names concerning which there has been a long dispute. Two forms of the various spellings, Allegany and Allegheny, are given. The former is adopted for the town in Potter county, Pa., and the second for the river and mountains in the eastern United States. Cheyenne is taken as the official spelling of the river of South Da- kota tributary to the Missouri, and not Sheyenne nor Shyenne, but the river of North Dakota tributary to the Red river is spelled Sheyenne. The now well-known starting point for the gold fields of Alaska is spelled Dyea. The highest known peak in the world is named Everest, and not Gaurisankar, while the well-known volcano of Japan is to be written Fujiyama, and not any one of the dozen or more forms which have been employed by different writers in the past. There is a well-marked tendency to drop the word city as part of the name of the towns and villages so pientifully designated, especially throughout the west; for ex- ample, in Kansas, Garden City has been shortened to Garden and Dodge City to Dodge. The principal city of Cuba is desig- nated as Habana, and not Havana. The well-known narrow passage in East river, New York, retains its familiar form of Hell Gate. The intermittent flowing river of eastern Colorado is correctly termed Pur- gatory, and not Purgatoire, or, in the lan- guage of the cowboy, the Picket Wire. ‘The creek and the falls in the Catskills, in Greene county, New York, has been defi- nitely designated as Kaaterskill, while its neighbor in the same county is known as Plaaterskill. In writing about the gold fields of Alaska we are to use the word Klondike, and not Clondyke or other combinations. The lake in British Columbia and the river in the same region and in portions of Mon- tana is known as Kootenai, and the lake in nerthern Idaho is called Pend Oreille. The familiar name of Grey Town, so often used in reference to the Nicaragua canal, is replaced by the official designation, San Juan del Norte: while the seaport town of Egypt on the Red Sea appears as Suakin and not Sawakin nor Suakim. The re- public of South Africa is Transvaal and not the South African Republic. The well- known volcanic peak, the highest in sight from Puget sound, 4s officially designated as Mount Rainier, and, despite the earnest pretests of the citizens of is no longer to be called Mount Tacoma on the ——___+e+___—_ Frem Life. “They. say. the way she controls. such @ large houschold f& wenderful.” “How op ene “Four five servants and a hus- ten Tabled.

After The Star's report of the Senate proceedings was closed, Mr. Wolcott en- tered upon a discussion of the pending bill, strongly advocating the issue of bonds, as Proposed by the republican minority of the finance committee, and the proposed stamp tax. At the conclusion of Mr. Wolcott's speech 4 proposition was made to vote upon the amendment offered by Mr. Gorman (Md.), limiting the excise tax upon ratlroad,steam- boat, electric light, telegraph, telephone, express and other operators to thuse whose Gross receipts exceed $250,000 annually, and making the tax one-half of 1 per cent. Mr. Aldrich moved to lay upon the table the amendment offered by the committes for which Mr. Gorman’s amendment was Intended as a substitute. The motion to table was made with the understanding that Mr. Gorman’s amendment should be placed upon its adoption, uid the mo- tion to lable prevail. ‘The vote resulted in ayes, 41, and noes, follows: Aldrich, Allison, Ba Caffery, ——— Davis, aKer, Frye .
