exercises, and to-day the eighteenth annual
course opens. At the dedication last evening
Dr. f. Fl. Gerrish presided and DR.. Israel T.
Dana delivered an historical address, full Of
entertaining "reminiscences of the school and its
foundation. We only regret that we have moi
space to reproduce it in full. From it we
learn that the school was established with two
pupils in 1856 Since that time it has steadily
increased in efficiency and popularity. 1t has
had fifteen instructors, five of whom have beer
professors in medical colleges; and has giver
instruction to over $50 students. Of many Of
these it has reason to be proud, noticeably sc
of George L. Goodale. Professor of Botany al
Harvard University, and of Frederic H. Ger
IRISH, Professor of Physiology in Michigan Uni
versity. The school was established to give a
more thorough education than was afforded by
the old method. and noby has it fulfilled its
object.
The address was followed by brief and per-
tinent remarks by Israel Washburn, Jr., and
other gentlemen. Those present then ad-

be found admirably adapted to the needs of
the school. On the first floor are the conven-

the museum, already collection to be proud
of. On the second floor is the large, we'll

than which no better, and indeed few as good

AUGUSTA, June 17.-Although the conven-

leading Republicans from all parts of the State
are present, and the later trains tonight are
bringing more than was expected. There will
be about 500 delegates present, which will be a
very large Number when it is remembered that
there is no question of candidacy as there Is no

The subject most talked of is the financial
plank of the platform. There is only one

ment, Mr.. Bion Bradbury, counsel for Robbins,
the British Consul Mr.. H. j. Murray, and
United States Deputy Marshal Wilson proceed
ed to the Jail. In the presence of the prisoner
and the above named gentlemen the Commits
sloner, Mr.. Rand, delivered his decision as fol-
lows:
Charles Tslton Robbins-On the complaints of
Henry John Murray, Her Britannia Majesty
Consul for the State of Maine, in behalf of Her
Majesty, Victoria, Queen of the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, you are
charged with feloniously, wilfully, practically,
and of your malice afore thought, killing and
numbering Solomon Camp, and also with un-
lawfully, wilfully and feloniously, and with in
tent to kill, making an assault with danger
Gus weapon upon Ambrose Secord, on the TWEEN
ty-fourth day of May last upon the high seas,
and on board the British schooner "Anne B"
and within the admiralty and jurisdiction Of
Her Britannia Majesty.
1t has been most clearly proved that you COM
mitted these crimes, and the only answer made
to them on your behalf has been suggestion
of your insanity at that time
ITO establish a defence to criminal charge
on the ground of insanity, it must be clearly
proved tnat at the time OF committing the act,
the party accused was laboring under such a
defect of reason, from disease of the mind, as
not to know the nature and quality of the act
he was doing, or, if he did know it, that he did
not know he was doing what was wrong" 2
Greenleaf on Evidence 373.
l find in the evidence before me nothing
which in the slightest degree leads me to be-
lieve that on the twenty fourth day of May
last you were otherwise than in the full possess
sion of all your faculties both of mind and body,
and nothing which leads me to doubt that your
acts were planned and executed with a full
knowledge of their character.
l therefore deem the evidence sufficient to
sustain the several charges against you, and Or
der that you be committed to the Jail in Port
land, there to remain until warrant shall be
duly issued by the Secretary of State of the
United States under his hand and seal of Office,
for your surrender to the proper authorities of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
land, or to such person or persons shall be in
| their name and in their behalf authorized to re-
ceive you according to the stipulatiOns of the
Treaty of August 9. 1912.
| During the delivery of the decision Robbins
sat in his cell-which contained nothing but a
mattrass-wagging his head but otherwise per
| tectly quiet and giving no indications that he
did, or did not understand what was said. AT
| its conclusion the party retired.

been issued by the Commissioner for the safe
keeping of the prisoner until warrant is issu
