UNDER THE COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITY The Opening Exercises Attended by President McKinley. DISTINGUISHED AUDIENCE Columbian University inaugurated last night a school of comparative jurisprudence and diplomacy, the higher studies to be pursued by the lawyer who hopes to at- tain national and international fame, and by all who wish to become competent for appointment in the diplomatic service of ihefr country. The establishment of the school is another step forward for Colum- hian, one that places this popular and re- ered Washington institution in advance ot all the greater universities of the United tates. Other colleges are expected to fol- lew Columbian’ in the very near fu- ture, for the new position in the affairs of th rid now occupied by America de- mands that the young men of the country shall be trained to cope with the brightest and shrewdest men of law and diplomacy of old world, T opening exercises of the school brought into Columbien ‘University Halt the most distinguished, fashionable and Wealthy audience that has ever gathered within such limited bounds in the capi city.

The President, accompanied by Dr. Whit- ident of Columbian, appeared on the platform while Justice Brewer of the Supreme Court was specking. A grand ova- tion followed. With one accord every one luted the chief execu- with cheers and great apt It fully ten minutes before the demon- tien Concluded, President McKinley gre ciously bowing his thanks meanwhile. Sea ed upo the stage, in addition to Mr. Me Kinley, were Dr. Whitman, who preside Secretary Gage, Sir Wilfrid Laurer, for- mer Secretary of State Foster, Justices Harlan and Brewer of the Supreme Court of the United States, Justice Morris of Dis- trict Court of Appeals, Chief Justice Bing- ham and Justices Hagner, Cox, Cole and Bradley of the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia; Rev. Dr. Charles A. Stakely, Rev. Dr. Samuel H. Greene, Chi nese Minister Wu, C. W. Needham, dean David J. Hill, J. J. Darlington, -T. W. Noyes, Wm. H. McKnew, M. M. Parker, J. Ormond Wilson, William Mattingly, Edward M. Gallaudet, 'Willlam G. Johnson, Lee Davis Ledge, Melville Church and the deans of the different schools of the universit Dr. Whitman introduced Rev. Charles A. Stakeley, who opencd the evening’s program with prayer, invoking God to continue to bless and prosper Columbian University. Dr. Whitman was on the program for a historical sketch. The opening of the school of comparative jurisprudence and diplomacy was, he said, the accomplishment of the hopes of a quarter of a century. Those con- rected with the institution for that period have felt the need of a higher education in the law. The course of study in this new department will lead to degrees of master of laws, doctor of civil law and master of Ciplomac: Courses of Study. Charles W. Needham, dean of the school, ave an outline of the courses of study. The school will take up its quarters in the new building of the university, now nearing completion, on the H street front of the property. The courses of study will extend over two years and will be carried on by means of lectures, class discussions and papers prepared and read by the studenis. Mr. Needham said the design of the school is to afford opportunity for study and train- ing in the subjects of higher legal knowl- edge, and the history, science and prac e of diplomac: The course covers a period of two years, the first year treating of com- constitutional law, international conflict of laws, Roman law, political ory and science, interstate commerce aw and a_ special course in practice and pleading. The subjects for the second year will be history of diplomacy and treaties, political geography in its relations to politi- cal history, comparative jurisprudence, in- ternational trade and finance, practice of diplomacy, boards of internatfonal arbitra- tion and proceedings therein. These subjects, he said, will be subdivided pecial lecture courses will be given upon other kindred subjects. Comparative jurisprudence will be a study of the politi- «al structure and constitution of all the great modern states and the Roman or civil and English common law. Special statutory laws which have a bearing upon the exe e of national power and which affect re- lations of nations with each other will also ty ration and study, a special irer being selected for each country who is familfar with its jurisprudence. Diplomatic Branch. The subject of diplomacy will be studied with reference to the relations existing be- tween nations; international trade as car- ried on and developed under international treaties; the organization of the diplomatic service of the United States, its general and extent of its jurisdiction; con- of boards of arbitration and’ prac- parative la tice be such tribunals. International trade and finance will be studied historical- ly and from a practical standpoint for the purpose of developing the best theories and methods of developing and pro ecting our in- ternational trade, with the best system of international finance as a factor In interna- tio! 2 International law will be studied with reference to its sources, its rul nd the standards to which it seeks to conform and its modern tendencies: The aim of the school, Mr. Needham add- is to provide a course of study for law- yers and others who desire to pursue the higher anc r subjects of jurispru- dence, and for those who wish to fit them- selves specially for the conduct of interna- controversies and counsel for those ng on inte ional trade and com- and to fit men for the diplomatic and consular service of the United States. Admission to the school 4s therefore extend- ed to lawyers and men who are seeking to prepare themselves for the practice of di- plomacy. The lecturers already appointed have been selected with reference to their special fitness and requirements to teach the subjects under their immediate charge. A letter of regret from William Wirt Howe of the New Orleans bar, who will lecture during the scholastic ‘season on Roman law, was read. Justice Brewer's Address. Justice David J. Brewer was next intro- duced amid a perfect storm of applause. The distinguished jurist Is deservedly popu- lar among the students of Columbian, where he hes delivered lectures on law for several years. Commerce, said he, is the father of the lawyer. If there was no trade, no business intercourse between peo- ple and nations, there would be no need of the lawyer. If every one lived as did Robinson Crusoe on a desert island, apart from all others, the lawyer would be a thing of the past. With the increase of trade and commerce, however, there is an increase in lke proportion for the better educated, more thoroughly trained lawyer. “As civilization advances,” continued Jus- tice Brewer, “the system of international commerce becomes more complex and com- plicated. When we travel on a railroad train or ship our goods on a steamboat we want to know from some competent author- ity the law governing common carriers. When we form a corporation we want to likewise know the law on the subject—the law of corporations. Some one has said with the increase of trade and a closer union and higher enlightenment of the peo- ple the need of the lawyer would become less and less, until when the day of univer- sal peace arrives there would be no man of law on the face of the globe. In contradic- tion of this I say that when the millennium arrives, instead of being the scarcest of men, the lawyer will be the master of so- ciety. A nation living within itself and by itself, trading with no outsiders and get- ting none in return, has no need of the in- ternational lawyer. But the ancient walls, formerly separating nations, are a thing of the past. Commerce is breaking down all the barriers. Science and invention, too, are bringing the nations nearer together. Railroads have penetrated dark continents and now everywhere one goes the trader will be found, and the American trader will be the first encountered. If you take a boat up the Congo you will find some en- terprising American there engaged in sell- ing soothing syrup or some of the other widely advertised patent medicines. This condition of affairs creates the demand for international lawyers. Cause for Congratulation. “It is a cause for congratulation that this country has at last taken its place among the nations of the glob. America stands today, if not the greatest, one of the greatest nations of the earth. We be- gan the ceutury with a law of territorial expansion, and the probabilities are w2 will close it in the same manner, I believe with many that the law should not operate only along the lines of latitude, but longitudinai- ly as well, as there is a nic? country to our north we might well take into the Union. The place of the United States among the nations is grander today than ever before, and never b2fore has there been such a demand for the international lawyer. The time of setting individual dis- putes by power, by force, is past, and now individuals appeal to the judicial function and invok> the aid of the lawyer. What is true of the individual dispute of the day is becoming true of nations, and the time of universal arbitration is not far distant. The faith of humanity is that the time will come when the war drum will cease to rattle, when the hbattl2 flag will be furled. Then the international lawyer will be the busy man, the soldier a thing of the past and peace will cover the zarth with the mantle of heaven. Subject of Finance. Secretary Gage spoke on the subject of finance as a factor in international trade. His contract with the faculty, he declared, cailed for a ten-minute address. In such a short time he could hardly deliver a learn- ed discourse on finance, so he gave instead eral very interesting instances of inter- ional money transactions, conducted by im when engaged in the banking business. system of drafts was explained. Mr. remarks were interesting to the au- and gave an insight into the con- of a banking house engaged in in- dience uct ternational transactions. Cordially Greeted. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was introduced by President Whitman, and was welcomed with an ovation s2cor.d only to that ex- tended Mr. McKinley. He is an entertain- ing and pleasing speaker, diplomatic and adroit, and his references to an between England and the United awok> the greatest enthusiasm. Sir Wilfrid declared he could not agre> exactly with Justice Brewer that Ameri- can territorial expansion should procesd at present along the longitudinal lines and in- civde Canada. Like Dr. Whitman, presi- dent of the Columbian University, wh birth on Canadian soil made it impossible for him to eliminate the ‘m spot in his heart for his nativ> land, notwithstanding the fact, he had become so thoroughly American, Sir Wilfrid declared the Cana- disn heart would ever 5e true to its own country. The invitation to speak at the opening of a school of comparative juris- prudenc> and diplomacy was a temptation peculiarly fascinating to him. The estab- hment of such a school in America, how he declared must be looked upor swhat in the light of a luxury rather than a necessity, for the history of dipl macy has shown that the Am>rican diplo- mats have not been school-trained, but, on the contrary, were to the manor born. alliance States ‘And history has also shown,” he con- tinued, “that these American diplomats have not only been al able to hold their own with the trainzd representatives of foreign countries, but very often indeed get the better of the argument. It is no lattery to you to say that no nation on earth has done so much for the advance- ment of int>rnational law and the promo- tion of the ethics that should prevail be- tween the great countries as the United States. As the chairman has told you, I am here on a diplomatic mission, thanks to the diplomacy of President McKinl+y. The sores formerly barring a closer knit- ting of the people of the United States and England have been eliminated, and a new ora is dawning in the relationship between the countries. The American Diplomat. ‘I am the member of a commission which it is hoped will blot out the last of the dif- ferences between us. I know not what the result of our labors will be, for we have to d2al with American diplomats. ‘The time has come, however, when war between the United States and England,would be as monstrous and criminal as your own civil war of a third of a century ago. In that war you fought for the integrity of the Union, for the enfranchisem>nt of the slave. Your greatest credit, however, w the moderation shown in victory, an ample thus being set to all the world. Not a drop of blood in the civil war was spilled by civil action, but all upon the battlfield. The United States set the first example in thus dealing with its own conquered people, and similar moderation has characterized the English nation ever sinc>. There is a bond of fellowship, friendly ing and kinship now existing betwee this country and England that will never be broken. It is my wish that henceforth and forever the stars and stripes and the union jack shail float together. But to- gether they shall fold for no cause other than the defense of f. dom and the ad- vancement of civilization.” Another ovation followed the Canadian premier’s close. He made a lasting impres- sion on all who listened to his eloquent and patriotic remarks. His warm welcome demonstrated the public feeling with re- gard to friendship with England. Mr. Foster's Addrens. z Mr. John W. Foster, ex-Secretary of State, spoke on the diplomat, who, he said, should be both the constitutional and in- ternational lawyer, but was very often neither. In most civilized nations the dip- lomatic service is made a career, but in the United States such appointments are made mainly for political considerations. Most of our ministers, however, have been good lawyers and history has shown them to have been capable of coping with their foreign colleagues, especially where great principles were involved. As a future lecturer in the school Mr. Foster impressed upon the young men pre: ent that an appointment in the diplomatic or consular service does not constitute the diplomat. He also expressed himself in favor of puttiag candidates for the diplo- matic and consular service of the United States through a career, the ministers to he selected from those showing themselves competent for promotion. It will be a long time, however, he sald, before the present system is done away with. In the mean- time this nation has entered a new epoch in its history. Our relations with the world have become more intimate, and therefore the school of comparative jurisprudence and diplomacy for the education of the in- ternational lawyer and diplomat has been organized at a most opportune time. The Constitutional Lawyer. Justice John M. Harlan spoke of the con- stitutional lawyer, who, he said, differs from the international lawyer and the diplomat, as well as from the other classes. In the legal profession, it is a day of specialists, ‘We have the corporation lawyer, the lawyer who gives all of his time and at- tention to admiralty work, the patent law- yer, the insurance lawyer, the commercial lawyer, but none of these classes repre- sents the constitutional lawyer. He is in- timately connected with our national life. Upon him depends the safety of our insti- tutions. We cannot get along without the man who has made the Constitution a par- ticular study,owing to the pecullarity of our governmental system. In this country alone among all the nations of the world do we have a written fundamental law, su- preme above the President, Congress and every one else—the Constitution, which is the written power of attorney from the peo- ple to the government. “The Constitution permits of no arbitrary Ax- action in any of our departments. To be @ constitutional lawyer one must go back of the written pfinciples and study the causes and conditions leading up to the writing. Then the Constitution may be opened and studied with understanding.” Justice Harlan gaid he bids all of the calamity howlers who do not believe the Constitution can withstand the annexation of Hawail, Porto Rico and the Philippines to be of good cheer: It has withstood every- thing up to the present time, the American people are able to meet great _responsi- bilities, and there! is in the presidential chair an American, «> - a AMUSEMENTS. COLUMBIA THEATER.—Shakespeare, if alive today, would have probably some dif- ficulty in selling his piay ‘Julius Caesar” to modern managers. Their first criticism would be, “It has no heart interest,” and there they would stop. It wou!d be dif- ficult to move theni from this time-honored objection that keeps more than one good play moldering in hidden places these days. It 1s a fact that “Julius Caesar” is minus “heart interest” in the sense of making love the central theme, but it has, instead, “brain interest’' of the most absorbing kind. Only the master hand of Shakespeare could reject love as a dramatic motive and yet make a drama that would hold the in- terest and sympathy of an audience for three hours’ time. “Julius. Caesar” is one of the simplest of Shakespearean constructions, but it is un- doubtedly one of the bard's best. Its por- trayal of the ambitions, schemes and pas- sions that make kingly heads rest uneasy cannot be excelled and hardly can be de- scribed, This play was Mr. Charles Hanford's change of bill at the Columbia Theater last night, and a fair audience responded. When he was younger he essayed the role of Mare Antony, and in it won signal favor all over the country. Maturity has ripened the actor in form and method to such a de- gree that now he is physically an ideal Brutus, the character he played last night. Intellectually his conception evidences that he grasps the subtleties of the “noblest Roman of them all’ and his reward ap- pears in the spontaneous and convincing applause of his hearers. At all times Mr. Hanford fs sincere and effective, but he ap- pears to best advantage in the scenes where the gracious dignity and magnanimous bearing of Brutus are called into play. Here his voice, in all its sweetness and firmness, gives expressive suggestion of the noble emotions stirring within, and his magnificent physique carrie It all with fit- ting grace and plactdity. In the instigation scene the art he threw into his attitude of attentive listening and the unstilted deliv- ery of the lines at once marked him as the central figure of the drama. The same praise is due him for the truthful and nat- ural acting of the quarrel scene. His grief over the body of his beloved Cassius and his resolve to follow him to the land of shades were tenderly set forth, and An- tony’s tribute was echoed by the heart of every auditor, so securely and perfectly had Mr. Hanford won their regard. Frank Hennig was the Cassius; Laurence Lowell the Mare Antoy; John Milton, J lius Caesar, and John A. Elisler, Casca, ang all were well received, their efforts being rewarded with frequent applause by the au- dience. Richard Buhler, George Morton, James Morris, H. A. Cassidy, Frand Han ley and Richard Garth were satisfactory. The slave was very neatly done. Marie Drofnah. the wife of Brutus, was sympa- thetic and complete in her portrayal. Mary Timberman made a good Calphurnia. The scenery was appropriate, the costumes bright and historically correct, and the supernumeraries, all things considered, very well drilled.

Party of Two Preparing for a Crusade in Virginia. Assistant Distriet Attorncy Mullowny Mr. Frank Raymond are making exter preparations for a bear hunt in the Blue Ridge mountains next week. Mr. Raymond is an expert shot) while his friend, who is well known in angling circles, had never fired a gun until he visited a local shooting gallery a few days ago. In court circles this prespective bear hunt is the first topic discussed each morning, and there is scarce! lawyer who does not know that an exp. wagon has been hired to meet the huntsmen upon their re- turn from the wild country. Mr. Mullowny is learning as many bear stories as possible in order that he may be able to entertain the natives while seated about a log fire at night during his stay in the mountains. In this task his friends have come to his res- cue and in almost e mail he receives literature reiating to hunting bears. The latest mai! brought him a cartoon repre- senting a man on his first hunt. The sight presented is not an enviable one, and the prosecutor has about determined that his friend Raymond shall do the shooting. Bear steaks and roasts have been prom- ised to scores of friends, and others may be included in the list of fortunates upon an- plication. It is the intention of the hunts- men to go from here to Quicksbury, Va., and drive twelve miles to the house of Mr. Samuel Moore, a wealthy land owner. A six-mile walk up the mountain will bring them to the camp. A friend has been un- kind enough to say that Mr. Mocre has a bear in a trap awaiting the arrival of the Washington sportsmen. — The Fire at Center Market —tas caused no interruption to my busi- ness.

District Soldiers at Manzanillo Well Fed and Well Quartered. A letter received recently by Capt. J. P. Duffy from his son, Sergt. John J. Duffy of Company H, 4th United States Volun- teer Infantry, one of the immune regi- ments now stationed at Manzanillo, Cuba, and in which there are a number of Dis- trict boys, shows that Uncle Sam’s boys in Dlue are not suffering on accoynt of a lack of food and comfortable quarters, at least in that section of the island. The letter, giving an account of the regiment from the time it left Jacksonville, reads as follows: “We left Jacksonville the 10th of the month, and arrived at Fernandina in the afternoon of that day. The men were im- mediately put on board the transport and made as comfortable as posstble. three days in loading the vessel with pri visions, lumber, tents, etc., the deck hands working night and day to complete the job as soon as possible. We left Fernandina the 13th instant, and were not far out be- fore we passed a drowned man floating on top of the water. There was no wreck in sight. and the body had evidently come out from the shore. It was a grewsome sight, a inclined to make some of the men feel jue. “The men were all very well on the way over, the majority of them being fixed as comfortably as they could expect. Whem we sighted the Island of Cuba one of the first objects to meet our view was Morro Castle at the entrance of Santiago harbor. I noticed that the fort was not badly damaged as one would suppose under the terrific fire of the American fleet. Just un- der Morro Castle were the remains of the Merrimac, lying just where it was sunk by Hobson and his men. We all agreed that Hobson deserved all the credit that he has received. “Strewn along the coast were the Spanish men-of-war as they were successively sunk by the American ships. Although we passed within a mile of the shore, the wrecks could hardly be distingnished, nothing remaining out of the water but a few masts or a portion of a hulk. The rest of the voyage was uneventful. We arrived at Manzanillo the 18th instant, and were immediately landed. “We found Co! Ray and a battalion of his regiment there to meet us, but they have now gone and left the city in our hands. Col. Ray's battalion was headed for Santiago when it left. “We are well quartered and very well fed here. We are quartered in barracks formerly occupied by the Spanish troops. They are fine, one-story buildings, with plastered walls and large windows. Taere are two comygnies quartered in each buiid- ig, and there is plenty of room for more. We have over a hundred head of Texas steers, and so are well provided with fr: meat. We have biscuits, wheat bread corn bread, rice cakes, flapjacks an? such things, in addition to our regular army ra- tions, ‘so that you can see we are pretty weil provided fur both in the matter of rrovender and quarters.

The fact that he has been pun- is consideration, but so far as the dealing of the department with this employe is con- hed by the court has been taken into cerned, I am of the opinion that his p! vious good record is of more importance to us. It appears he has been connected with the department for ten years, and that he has alw: performed his duties faithfully and efficiently, In view of his excellent record, against which there hi up to the present time, never been anything charged, I recommend that the fine be re- mitted.” ——— The very desirable three-story and base- ment brick residence, north t corner of 2ist street and Hillyer place northwest, will be sold at auction by trustees tomorrow afternoon at » o'clock.

Disapproval Expressed of Union of Marble Cutters. President E. L. Lomax occupied the chair at the meeting last evening of the Building Trades Council and Mr. John P. Healey was secretary A statement printed in a morning paper that Mr. William Silver, organizer of the Central Labor Union,” had organized a union of marble cutters caused considera- ble discussion. This alleged action of Mr. Silver was objected to by the soft stone cutters, who stated that such an organi- zation as the one referred to would serious- ly injure them, and Mr. Silver's reported course in the matter was strongly disap- proved of by the stone cutters, The subject was disposed of temporarily by the adoption of a motion which instruct- ed the secretary to communicate with the Central Labor Union and ask that body to discourage the organization of crafts- men who are in opposition to any labor body already organized. A report was submitted stating that Mr. T. V. Powderly ts erecting a new home in Cleveland Park and is employing non- union labor thereon. The secretary of the council was instructed to communicate with Mr. Powderly and remind him of the fact and request that union labor be employed. A sum sufficient to defray the expenses of the delegate of the coming counc!l to the national convention of the building trades at Kansas City was appropriated. Mr. Milford Spohn was elected official reporter of the Building Trades Council. HEBREW CHARITIES. Annual Meeting of Society at Eighth Street Temple.
