As soon as the meeting was formally declared open by the permanent chair- man of the congress, Mr. E. Aug. Ner- shelmer, chairman of the Universal Brotherhaod, read a list of appointees to the international council, which was soon to extend throughout the globe, embrac- ing all of the principal nations and many minor countries. The names of the mem- bers of the national council were then read. This body is composed of represen- tative Americans in all parts of the Unlon. F. M. Pierce, secretary general of the Universal Brotherhood, read many greet- ings to the congress by letter, telegram anad cable, which had been received since the previous session. These come lodg: in _Sweden, Holland, Germany, England, New Zealand, Canada, India and other countries and from cities in many States, The orchestra rendered a splendid mu- sical selection, after which “The Philo: phy of Life” was taken up by a numbe: of speakers. . The scope of the subject ad- mitted of discussion irom many points of It was accordingly treated, but at the same time a broad unanimity be- tween the speakers was apparent. The b idea of all was the necessity of rec ognizing brotherhood a fundamental fact of human existenc of it the rule of action in the life of man- kind. All the great philosophers were declared to have been raised up on this foundation, different tems of thought having been evolved in all ages and peo- ples as were appropriate to the need of the races and the time. Several speakers maintained the advisa- bility of giving less at tems of philosophy and depending more upon sound common-sense, regarding such the coping 2 and school of phil Differ of opir unimportant and me of different condi- slopment of mind, but in e brotherhood as a fact and the o ing rule were insisted upon.

She spoke of the people of Cuba, of their pow erlessness unaided and alone to avail them- selves of the opportunity and the new life open- ing to them; what this could be brought to with some compassionate aid with the touch of common human kindness, She re- ferred to all this as but the fuller expression of what was prevailing in dess accentuated form everywhere. When humanity, through the en- couragement of brotherly help and sympathy and the higher education and deeper under- standing such would bring to pass, came to know and fill the soul, then would men and women arise with the power to lead human life | into its rightful herit This was the aim and purpose of the Universal Brotherhood, and already its work was producing results and was witnessed by the rate at which the organization was growing, by the presence of that large assemblage, containing so many who i devo- tion amd love to this cause and to promote it had come from the furthermost parts of the globe. The Wagner recital was given Sunday night by Mrs. Alice Leighton Cleather and Basil Crump of London, a noted member of the Lon- don Wagner Soclety and of the Universal Brotherhood. The amphitheater was filled to overflowing. Splendid stereopticon views were used to bring out and accentuate the vital her and the es- gential characters of most _important dramas.

The dagkne: ded to the impressiveness of the occhsion and alded the understanding to- ward better grasping the real meaning of the interpretation given by the lecturers. Mrs. Cleather and Mr. Crump alternately spoke, in the interval retiring behind the dimly visible palms, whence the Imposing soul-stir- ring music rendered by them came as an in- spiring power to the audience. No one present could have fatled to recognize somewhat of the grand function of the dra d music in unfon will perform for the individual and for the state when it is rightly understood and utilized, and to see that such was the hope and R.

HELD UP AT THE POINT OF A PISTOL Advertising Manager Joselyn of the Emporium Robbed by Footpads of Money and Trinkets. W. E. Joslyn, advertising manager of the Emporium, was waylaid by two foot- pads shortly after midnight Saturday and at the point of a pistol compelled to sur< render the sum of $6250 and a number of trinkets. He reported the robbery to the police last night and Detective Silvey is searching for the daring criminals. Mr. Joslyn stated that he was on his way to his residence at 828 Powell street, and while climbing the hill between Pins and California streets was startled by two men jumr!ng out of a dark door- wagr‘bznd ordering him to give up his val. Yrhe attack was so sudden that Mr. Joslyn had no chance to resist. With a pistol within an inch of his nose the vic- the robbers heard the click of his purse- clasp and compelled him to give it up. The robbers were scared by some peo- ple passing on California street, and they ordered Mr. Joslyn to ciimb the hill. Only too glad to escape, the latter moved rap- idly up the street, and when he turned around to see if they weére still there he was warned by one of them to get out of sight or he would put a bullet through him. Mr. Joslyn described the men as bein tall gnd short. The tall man wore a re nandkerchief on the lower part of his face and the short man a white one.

STAFORDS MEW REGISTER SSLED |Important Changes Put Into Effect. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April 17. The first copies of the university reg- ister for 1898-99 made their appearance | to-day. The book, in arrangement and | general appearance, corresponds closely to the catalogues of previous years. It | will be ready for general distribution in a few days. The most important change noted in the new register is the one regarding entrance uirements. It is in line with the policy being pursued through- out the country in requiring students to have a more thorough preparation before entering college than they have had in the past. Beginning in Septem- ber, 1900, thirteen credits will be re- quired for admission in full standing, instead of twelve as at present. With the commencement of the academic | year 1901, -fifteen credits will be re- | quired for regular standing. After 1901 partial standing will require twelve s. The change has | been made in the interest of intercol- legiate comity, to facilitate the transfer of students from one institution to an- other 1d to bring the requirements of | Stanford into & xact correspondence as possible with those of the leading institutions of the country. This increase in the entrance credits { required does not mean that prepara- tory students must take up more udies. It will allow them to pursue | more advanced work along certain lines, for arrangements have been made in Greek, German and French whereby s | €xtra credits can be obtained. of the new requirements bon the high schools thi: e~ nning with 1901 it will be impossible gh school to prepare for ad- in full standing on a three It will be possible, how- luates of the three years' -nter the university in partial The result of the change will be to hasten the transition in the high from the three to the four course without actually compel- One eft years iing it.

In history the note-book re- quirement goes into effect this year. In | physiology, botany and zoology recom- mendations will be received, provided they are accompanied by satisfactory note books. In Freng and German, after 1899, exercise hooks in French | composition must be submitted. Among the new courses offered this year are two in Russian, by Professor Babine. Mathematics, for the first time, is arranged under two separate titles— pure mathematics and applied mathe- matics. The number of students for the pres- ent year is larger than for any previous year of the umniversity except 1897-0S. There is a small decrease in the num- ber of graduate students. A greater falling off is noticed in the special stu- dents, due to the severe requirements put into effect this year in raising the age limit and establishing the require- ment of being able to do advanced work in some line. In the faculty list Professor Bran- ner's name appears next in order to President Jordan’s, with his new title of vice president. Professors Spencer and Cubberly have been advanced from assistant to associate professors. Professors Copeland and Newson have been added to the list of assistant pro- fessors and Professor Whittier has been promoted from an instructor to an as- sistant professor. The new instructors are Miss Maud March, Jefferson Elmore, J. H. Howard, Robert E. Swain, G. L. Lincoln and Jackson E. Reynolds. The non-resident lecturers for the year include Professor Hunt of the University of the Pacific, Judge Lind- ley of San Francisco and Rabbi Voor- ganger of San Francisco. The library now contains 42,000 vol- umes and 18,000 pamphlets. The faculty —consisting of professors, assoclate and assistant professors, instructors and. lecturers—numbers 107. Of the 1153 stu- dents 690 are men and 463 are women. TWO PRINCES COME AN ON THE COPTIC BOTH ARE MAKING A TOUR FOR HEALTH AND PLEASURE. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company’s Coptic arrived last night, and after dis- charging 100 Chinese passengers en route to Mexico at Angel Island anchored off her dock. A number of passengers who were anxious to get ashore were taken off in a tug. Prominent on her passenger list were Prince Kannote of Japan, Presi- dent of the House of Peers; Prince Lich- reowski, formerly connected with the German legation at Athens; Stanley Gib- bon, the well-known stamp collector; B. B. Barney of Los Angeles, A. H. Pirle, head of the educational system in India, and Lieutenant Nickel of the Montana troops. Prince Kannoie is making a tour of ithe world for pleasure and observation. He does not think that all the talk of trouble in China _amounts to anything, but says that if China is to be partitioned by tie powers Japan will certainly want a slice of it. He brings the news that the Japa- nese Government has consented to subsi- dize the two Japanese steamship compa- | nfes now plying vessels between this ! country and the Orient. This means that six new vessels will be put on, three to | ply between Japan and San Franclsco and three running to Seattle or Victoria. | Prince Kannoie is not a Prince of the | blood, but worked himself up to rx Fres- | ent position.

The fire.brcke out in the lower part of the building and spread up the. elevator shaft with great rapidity. The flames involved the upper stories before their occupants were aware of the danger. When the alarm was raised the af- frighted servants dropped from the top windows to a veranda on the . ninth story. The defective arrangements of the London fire brigade were again demonstrated and even when the fire escapes reached the scene they were too short to reach the people in the up- per stories, who only escaped with the greatest difficulty, while the residents of the lower stories streamed out of the building, carrying what they could of their belongings. The flames were not under control until 1 o’clock, when the upper part of the structure was gutted. It is considered lucky that the fire occurred in daylight, as otherwise it would have resulted in loss of life. All the floors were supposed to be fire- proof. The investigation into the cause of the fire shows it to have been due to the overheating of an electric wire. Several of the occupants of the build- ing escaped in their nightclothes. A whole army of firemen, under Com- mander Wells, was engaged in subdu- ing the flames. During the conflagra- tion the windows of the French Em- bassy, which overlooked the scen were crowded, and an immense con- course of people watched the fire from the streets. The property destroyed in- cluded a quantity of jewelry. | Dispatch to The Call. | | | | To Investigate Complaints. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April 17.—United States Minister William L.
