The head »f the nation was present In the person of President Theodore Roosevelt. '.England, Europe and the Far East icontributed their share of honor Iwhen their representatives, men of {academic renown, marched as delegates in the procession and partlcl' pated in the closing functions. The Church, Protestant and Roman Catholic, sanctioned the day with the presence of famous prelates. President Roosevelt received a great ovation while receiving his degree of Doctor of Laws. When the reading of the long list of honors had been nearly finished President Hadley advanced a step or two and with great Impreslvenes said: "There yet remains one name." In an instant the great audience was standing. The President of the United States also arose and the theatre rang with cheers. The air was filled with waving handkerchiefs and programmes. Remarking that Yale had chosen for the degree this candidate before he became President, President Hadley announced that all Yale men ,were now doubly honored by greeting the man and the President as a son of Yale. President Roosevelt, advanced, bowed profoundly, and tried to speak. Again the audience cheered, and It was t'ully a minute before he was allowed to proceed. rafc He said: "President Hadley—l have wQVpfijMXr : ' • • •  PP1 "As we walked hither this morning || ; we passed by a gate which was raised p to the memory of a young Yale lad I who was hurt to death beside me as f be and a great many others like lis marched against the gunfire from the beights, and with those memories quick In my mind I thank you from my heart for the honor you have done me, and I thank you doubly, for you planned to do me that honor while I was yet a private citizen." President Roosevelt and President Hadley entered the Hyperion Thea- Stre at 10.30 a. m. The President of the United States was led to the seat of honor directly behind the orator's desk. On the platform were Ambassador Joseph H. Choate, Secretary of State John Hay, Richard Olney, Chief Justice Melville, W. Puller and Justice Brewer, of the Supreme Court; Presidents Eliot, of Harvard; Low, of Columbia; Patton, of Princeton; Harrison, of Pennsylvania, and dozens of other college presidents. Rear-Admiral Sampson, apparently feeble and in ill-health, made his way to his place through a side door, and, leaning on the arm of Professor W. ' iW. Farnham, was shown to his seat. The commemoration exercises were begun with the performance of the overture to "Die Melsterslnger von Nuvnberg." A poem entitled "Mater Coronata," by Edmund Clarence Stedman, in eulogy of the university, was then read. The commemorative address was delivered by David J. Brewer, LL. D., Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, his topic being "Yale's Relation to Public Service." Justice Brewer was given an ovation on his conclusion. Then came the presentation of honorary degrees and the Investing of the recipients with academic hoods. A farewell reception by President and Mrs. Hadley was held in the evening, and the presence of the President of the United States lent Imprests! veness to the occasion. ' President Roosevelt and Dr. and Mrs. Hadley stood upon a small raised platform midway to one side j] of the hall. Close at hand were Secret i Service officers and policemen. The purpose was to admit only those wearing badges. These numbered sev■eral thousand, and a great number of pjz ' the general uninvited public also man- Aged to gain entrance. Particularly noticeable was the ex- E treme caution, not only of the officers ?;?. but of those having the affair In charge, for the adequate protection of the President. There was no hand §fe? shaking. The suggestion to eliminate Mk this old-time custom originated with President and Mrs. Hadley, and was |||||S readily adopted by the President. It ?|lf , Is estimated that 5000 persons attend| - «d the reception. pi- • At the conclusion of the reception |fe ' the President returned to the Farnam life residence, where dinner was served «t 7.80.

WEYLER UTTERS A THREAT Spanish General Intimates That He Way Become a Diotator. ■to apMflfc Crt«Ui » lawtMon in th« Chamber of Deputise —. He Rbji He ia • Soldier Before All. Madrid, Spain.—ln a sensational sitting of tbe Chamber of Deputies Senoi Romero y Robledo cleverly led the Minister of War, General Weyler, to define his attitude and Intentions. General Weyler declared that while the war in Cuba lasted his views were totally distinct from those of the Liberal party, bnt that when the war was at an end the motive for separation disappeared, and he saw nothing to prevent him attaching himself to a Liberal Government "I have always faithfully pbserved discipline," General Weyler continued, "and he who talks of dictatorship Is the enemy of discipline. Our recent manoeuvres have proved that good feeling exists between the people and the army. As for dictatorship, no one thinks of such a thing. Dictators arc tbe offspring of circumstances. "For myself I may say this: I hav« never thought of being a dictator, not do I now. Nevertheless, If my ak were asked at a moment of gravity 1 do not know how I should decide be tween my political and military duties, but I should always Incline toward the latter." Loud and prolonged uproar Interrupted the Minister of War, and several of his Ministerial colleagues were unable to restrain expressions of surprise at his words., "I am a politician and a Liberal," General Weyler resumed, "but before all I am a soldier, and. If it should become necessary, I will defend out Institutions and Parliament." General Weyler's speech largely occupies public attention, in view of the possibility that he may become Premier If Senor Sagasta, whose health is indifferent, should find It necessary to retire. El Pals asserts that Senor Sagasta will shortly resign the Premiership, owing to ill health. El Imparclal remarks that "a dark cloud enshrouds General Weyler since tue debate."

Every farmer Is to sign an agreement not to raise an acre of wheat In 1902. and thus force the price of wheat. Each township will be organized, then the counties and later the States. Each farmer will contribute $1 toward advancing the cause when he signs the agreement There is said to be no politics in this proposed organization, which is spreading rapidly.

Boundary Llim DatarmlMd. An Important decision. Indirectly af. footing the title to abont 66.000 acres of forest land In the and the boundaries of several comities, has just been handed down by H. T. Kellogg as referee. The case Is that of Edward H. Litchfield, of Brooklyn, against George W. Slsson and James Llston, of Potsdam, and Mr. Kellogg's deefcion Is In favor of the defendants. The suit was an action to recover $30,- 000 for trespass wpon lands south of Litchfield Park. The case also Indirectly Involved a strip of land fiftysix miles long and averaging a mile in width, the ownership being dependent on the result of the case In question. The principal contention in the litigation, begun in June, 1800, was on the determination of the exact location of the northern boundary of the so-called Totten and Litchfield purchase. The original grant was made in 1772, and it was surveyed that year by Alexander Campbell, who was accompanied on the expedition by a party of Mohawk and Seneca Indians, who save a release to the patentees. The line then run was later made the southern boundary of St. Lawrence, Franklin and Clinton counties and the northern limit of Essex, Hamilton and Herkimer counties. A large number of hearings were held by the referee, and a great amount of expert testimony taken. One of the interesting features of the expert testimony was as to the deflection of the magnetic needle In 1772, when the first survey was made. Whitecaps in fine View. For some reason the residents ot Fine View, near Clayton, were desirous of getting rid of the family ol John Town, and a large number of the people of the neighborhood attired aa Whltecaps congregated at the house and discharged firearms and threw stones and sticks at the windows. A vigorous defense was made from within the house by Town and his brother, and many shots were fired. That no one was killed seems to be a miracle. The house plainly shows the result of the riot In broken windows, doors, etc. The mob numbered forty or fifty, and ten or fifteen did the smashing. The following were arrested as a result of the riot: George Hutchinson, Myron Beaupre, A. Claude Emmett, Guy Eager, George Shoemaker, Don Eagar, Gordon Emmett, Edward Frazer, Thomas Nunn, William Emmett and Edward Nunn. They were arraigned before Justice W. H. Kees at Clayton, charged with rioting, throwing atlcks and stones and discharging firearms at i wnpnlrtr on Cigarette (making. Professor Banta and the faculty of the high school In Blnghaiqton have decided to eliminate the cigarette habit from among the students. Professor Banta In lectures pointed out the Injurious effects of tobacco on the students, and when this did not have the desired effect he made a rule that no student using tobacco In any form should be eligible for the athletic teams. This proved a blow to the smokers, but there were still some who used the weed. A student who was discovered in the act of lighting a cigarette in the training quarters of the school was sent home in disgrace with an indefinite leave, which means that the superintendent and the Board of Education must pass on his case before he can be reinstated. The Board of Education Is backing the teachers in their tobacco war, and it has been Blven out that they will enforce any suspension or expulsions that ryw.a* cur from this cause. Imprisoned For Crime He Did Mot Commit William Liberty, of Plattsburg, who has served nearly half of a sentence of four years and two months 4n Dannemora Prison for a burglary he did not commit, will sooa be liberated.

SCHLEY TELLS OF SEA FIGHT  dWes the Court of Inquiry His Ver» ; sion of the Battle of Santiago. EXPLAINS THE BROOKLYN'S LOO?  The Il*ar-Admiral Dllltl til* Story That ll* Showad Wmmr—Daaorib** How th* j Brooklyn and Oreßol D**troyed th* < Spanish Ship*—Daolaraa til* Hadgioa Colloquy a Fiction—Clark'* T**tlmoay Washington. D. C.—"And that ended the battle Of Santiago, on the. third day of July. 1888. I would like to say that I was very much Impressed on that day with the fact that the officers and the men who were engaged in that struggle fulfilled In the very highest and the very noblest degree the traditions of the American Nary." With these words uttered slowly, gravely and Impressively, Rear- Admiral Schley concluded the most absorbing and thrilling story of the Santiago tight that has ever been told. The story begau with the day before the tight, when Schley saw suspicious movements In the harbor, ana sent the Vixen to notify Sampson. Karller < In the day Lieuteuant Harlow of the Vixen had testified that he received the order from Schley aud that the Vixen carried the message. When the Spaniards came out Schley determined to head for them and hold them until the slower battleships could come up. But this plan failed, and the Spaniards got away. Schley instantly determined to try a new plan, and hence Issued the order to "Close up," and "Follow the fiag." "Captain Clark," he said, "knew very well that It wasn't Intended for him, because be was following the fiag, and so he repeated It to the other ships." At the time of the loop the Brooklyn was so near the Spanish ship that Schley saw, with the naked eye, Spanish sailors running from the turret to the superstructure, "and," be said, "I could see the daylight between their legs as they ran." During the turn he never saw the starboard side of the Texas and never crossed her bows, V and never was nearer than 000 yards. r She was so distant that the thought 1 of collision never entered his bead There «u no colloquy." When they got out on the ocean and * • ''l|l were engaged by the four leading 'j ] Spaniards, Schley believed that the j Brooklyn would have to couduct the j ! fight alone, because the • battleships ] could not catch up, anil remarked to Cook: "We must stay wKi that crowd." Then the Oregon came up, and Schley said he never before realized what rapid gunfire meunt. The ships were a tibeet of Haines. Smoke came out of the batches of the (Spaniards and streamed up in almost perpendicular column. When the Colon surrendered Scbley sent Cook aboard with orderß to give no terms but unconditional surrender. He said that he was delighted to have tiampson send liim and the Oregon after what was supposed to be Camara s fleet, because after what those two ships had done he felt that they could meet "anything that curried the Spanish colors." 'ibe Oregon went back and Schley went on alone. H got up to within 1800 yards of the stranger befsre he found that she was an Austrian. His starboard bat- • tery had been entirely disabled during the battle, and he was manoeuvring to get her with his port battery. Without any trace of feeling Admiral Schley denied lieutenant Pott's story that be showed fear at the affair of May 81. "Mr. Potts," he sdid slowly and quietly, "is entirely in error in thinking that 1 took advantage of any protection at that time. It Is not a fact." He paused, and theu added, "We were going head on and there waa no protection for anybody." '"■£ A notable utterance of Schley's dur- , Ing the day was, "The fact that this blockadc. both at Santiago and Cleufuegos, was sufficient Is proved by , . the fact that no vessel entered the barbor or escaped." £| Captain Clark, who commanded the f Oregon, testified on the previous day. j J. He said when the Oregon joined the I >4 Brooklyn during the battle, Schley was engaging four Spaniards at once. He 1| testified that Sampson's plan of bat- M tie was not followed, and the battle 1 :> was not fought In accordance with any ' jig squadron orders previously Issued. Kl "It made a deep Impression on me," Pi he said, "to find the Brooklyn there, 1.2 and I felt that we should mutually l,<rg sustain and support each other." In Itii fact, all the testimony of that day Fm was to the effect that with some ftfl slight assistance from the Texas, the whole battle was fought and won by ■ /Jpi the Brooklyn and the Oregon. '*2 When Major Murphy was recalled to correct his testimony, be added an 'S*| Interesting story about the battle. -4J|j When It was over and Scbley had sent -ag Captain Cook aboard the Colon to re- - -JI3 celve the surrender, he addresed his officers and men. cautioning them not Mw to cheer when the Spanish captain ffflj came on board. Schley said the Span- . lard bad fought gallantly and made a § good fight, and must be treated any cheering. Later when the Brook- ; aH chivalrously and not humiliated by lyn came alongside the lowa, where Jn Cervera was, Scbley repeated this. Cervera beard It and appreciated It / tery deeply. . •, Bp • j •%%%%%%%% %%a f Tli» BrlfMut mi Sml [ | 1 CMntyPafw. I
