Ronoring DR.. EEoin,es.

LONDON, June 17.-Honorary degrees
were conferred upon DR.. Oliver Wendell
Holmes at Cambridge to-day in the presence
of a brilliant assemblage. There was great
cheering when the public orator, in
laudatory Latin speech, presented
the degrees to Dr.. Holmes The
orator described Holmes as one combining
enthusiasm for science and distinction in
literature and as gifted with skill in the
healing art, eloquence and song. Several
felicitous references, were made to the
''Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, and other
of Holmes works. The orator told a story
of a party of English travellers taking
the 'Autocrat' with them as their
sole literary resource duringa long holiday
in a remote district of Norway. He re-
marked that to-day was the anniversary of
the battle of Bunker hill and also of the
death of Addison. The Ian
guage OF eulogy once applied to
Addison might fifty be transferred
to Holmes. Addison. however, died at the
age of AZ, whereas Holmes was nearly 80,
when his fame as writer burst into bright
ness like Indian summer. The grafton was
replete with quotations from Holmes
poems.

Small Talk.

defeated Lannon at St. Paul, is in Mime
apolis and vigorously denies the reports
about having wrecked his chances as a

says the report was started by Parson Davies
whom he pronounces shark. In proof of
this he states that he only received 1874. so of
the receipts of his fight with Laneon

at Sheepshead Bay.

New YORK, June 17.-There was a
heavy downpour of rain at Sheepshead Bay
before the races to-day, making the track
very heavy. The event of the day was the
Coney Island cup, and much regret was
expressed that Troubadour, the winner of
the Suburban, did not start. However, the
result was an excellent race, resulting in
the rare event in that distance dead
heat. The race was not run off and the
stakes were divided. though the cup was
awarded to Barnum.
The first race, all ages, seven furlongs, Dry
Monopole won; time, 1905. The second

BUTTER AND BABIES.
Col. Littler of Chicago Thinks He
Has Done His Duty.

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Gardner B.
Chaplin and S. P. Hubbard of Boston ap-
peared before the senate committee on
agriculture yesterday in behalf of pure but
ter. They said the Massachusetts, state
law was not we'll enforced, as had been stated
by Prof. Babcock. Col. r. M. Littler sec
rotary of the Chicago produce exchange,
said the statements of the 1.-TWO VI three
scientists who were paid to traduce and
villify agriculture, were untrue. The av-
erage value of each dairy cow in the United
States had decreased $40 since the oleomar-
garine business commenced, and he put this
statement in evidence against the assertion
that each animal was worth So more,
because of the value of the fat used
in cleo manufacture. He believed 95 per
cent. of all oleo was sold fraudulently. Con-
siderable merriment was OccaSiOned by the
statement of the witness that after serving
his country in Mexico he had performed his
duty, as had the occupant of the White
house recently, by taking unto himself
wife. He added that eight sons and
daughters bore witness that he had dis
charged his duty to his country faithfully.
Laughter long and hearty by the commit
tee and audience. He had just begun
to think that after years of toll he might
get this wife sealSkin sacQue and one of
these daughters q piano. when along came
Armour 81 Co. and nearly ruined his bust
ness by selling counterfeits of his butter.

Fought Twenty-One Ror,nds.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 17.-At an
early hour this morning a prize fight took
place on the banks of the Delaware river
near the mouth of Rancocas creek. The
principals were Tom Mccain of Provi-
dence, and Billy Martin of Newark, and
the stakes were $500. Twenty-rounds
were fought. Mccain was three inches
taller and four pounds heavier than his an
tagonist, who stood five feet five inches
and weighed 1873 pounds. Martin had the
best of the fight to the finish, but Mccain
stood up pluckily. In the last round Mar
tin planted his left on McCann's badly
damaged left eye, following it up with his
right, repeated the blow few times and
then, with McCann's hands hanging by his
sides, and his face leaning forward, Martin
planted a hot one against his neck and
stretched him out. Mccain was unable to
respond, and the battle was given to Martin.

CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
Commissioner Oberiy Thinks They
Might be Improved.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. June 17.-Commissioner
Oberly, speaking of the civil service rules,
says:
after q careful analysis Of the rules I
have come to the conclusion that they are
the outgrowth OF the development of the
civil service system, and that they
follow each other without any ap-
parent order and are neither logical nor
symmetrical They are probably as good
rules as could have been adopted by any COM
missioners under the circumstances. But
the time has come in my opinion when they
should thoroughly tie revised. The present
rules are loose, ambiguous, disjoiuted and
not carefully drawn. They arc full of ex-
ceptions and seem to have been sensed in
part to enable the commissioners to permit the
system to be broken down by exceptions.
The rules should be fixed, made for the gen.
eral good, without the right of the commits
sioners to modify them for individual cases.
They should be drafted
TO DO JUSTICE TO ALL,
and then be firmly and emphatically executed.
There is one feature as to which it
has occurred to inc that the rules
might be amended, and do to the soldiers
the justice that is now denied them. Section
1878, revised statutes, provides that any per-
son honorably discharged from the naval or
military service of the United States on ac-
count OF wounds or sickness received in the
line OF duty, shall be preferred for appoint
ment to the civil service. This is just
recognition of the service of
the soldiers to this country, but
1t discrimates against one class OF
soldiers who are no less worthy. That
statute gives no preference to the soldier
who may have enlisted at the beginning of
the war, have served all through the war,
been many times wounded and honorably
mustered out at the end of the war. Under
the statute soldier may have enlisted in 1862.

THANKED RY CLEVELAND.
Graceful Letter From the Presiden
to Southern Friends.

CHARLESTON, S. c., June 17.-Presi-
dent Cleveland, in letter which is to be
published here tomorrow morning, ex-
presses the sincere thanks of himself and
Mrs. Cleveland for the magnificent wedding
gift received from the citizens of Charleston
and says:
have asked the privilege of thus commu.
nicating our joint acknowledgment of this
present, because this delicate and thoughtful
attention to my wife has naturally given rise
to grateful emotions, and because it affords
me an opportunity to express my apprecia-
ton Of the kind words with which the donors
refer to myself and my performance Of
public duty. You and your associates
who have united in the letter accompa-
nying your gift can hardly realize
the comfort derived from the assurances
therein contained Of confidence and esteem.
The letter and the gift take their places IN my
new household, and for all time will serve as
reminders, not only of the happiest incident
in my life as citizen, but of the further
fact that in my official character the humble
efforts 1 have made to assure good govern
ment to the people and complete reconcilia-
ton between all sections of the land are con-
siderately and pleasantly rec ~gnized by my
fellow countrymen."
The present consisted of massive silver
vase, accompanied by letter to Mrs.
Cleveland, saying that it was intended as
token of the high esteem in which Presi-
dent Cleveland was held in Charleston, s'by
reason of his ability, his true manliness and
constant fidelity to his obligations under
the constitution and laws Of these reunited

Priscilla the Probable vvinner-.Ths
Redouin,s CEaIns.

BedOuin,S Claims.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE regatta of
the New York Yacht club to-day was a
REPETITION of Tuesdays in that the wind
was very light and that it was impossible
to correctly judge the respective merits of
giant sloops. AS in the Atlantic club race,
the interest centered in the sloops, from
among which one will be selected to con-
test for the Queens cup, and though there
were twenty or more clippers, large and
small. in the race besides these, the eyes of
the public were only turned to the fourt.
They comprised the New York sloop
Priscilla and the Boston sloop Puritan, and
the two new sloopS, the Atlantic, owned
in New York. and the Mayhower of Bos-
ton. The Priscilla again proved herself
A GREAT BOAT
in MINDLESS weather, but what she can do
in blow was not at all demonstrated. The
work of the Atlantic was greatly admired.
She started off last, and under unfavora-
BILE conditions, yet she landed second
among the ''BigsFour." The Mayfower was
not in first rate trim for race, so her per-
Torrance cannot go as basis for COMPARE
son as to her capabilities. What she did do
was not satisfactory, and was considered
cranky. The Puritan did not do as well
as was expected of her, even in the
light winds. The general opinion is that
she was not properly handled. 1t was con-
coded by all hands, however, that the Pris-
ella showed astonishing merits outside of
Sandy Hook, where there were several
sPAsMs OF GOOD BREEzEs,
both in porting and in footing, though the
weather was threatening and rain fell 'occa-
sionally. There was large fleet of excur-
sion boats out, filed with people to witness
the race, which was over n 40-mile course.
The start was made in light wind at II
o'clock. In the first stretch the order was:
Puritan, Priscilla. Atlantic, Mayfower, but
the Priscilla soon passed to the front and
steadily increased her lead, the Maytlower
also running well and taking second place,
the Atlantic apparently badly sailed, last.
They kept in this order rounding Buoy No.S1.
There was then a run to the Sandy Hook
lightship and the Priscilla passed it first,
and during rain storm which shut them
from view the others rounded. From that
point home there were rain squalls and
winds shifting very frequently. The At
lantic then began to
SHOW SOME GOOD QUALITIES
and came up into second place, the May
flower being third The Priscilla retained
her lead to the finish, losing nothing in any
point, except when beamed once or twice
on the last stretch. The Atlantic came in
second 1910 later. the Puritan min

and have soon after been seized with an illness
in the line of duty, and nave been
discharged at once for that reason and be
entitled to preference. But the soldier
who served through the war receives no
preference. In this respect think that the
law makes
AN UNJUST DISCRIMINATION
against the soldier who served through the
war. Ihave thought of framing new rule
which would correct this injustice and
give the soldier who was honorably
mustered out a preference on
somewhat different basis. / have thong 1T of
proposing to the commissioners and to the
president that soldiers who served their
terms of enlistment, or through the war, and
were honorably mustered out, should be en-
titled to preference in appointment, provided
they could pass an examination, say
at seventy-five. That is about the
average of the examinations in the
general list. The character Of the civil
service would not be lowered by such an ex-
animation, and it is but just to the veterans
that they should be given such preference.
The only preference that they now have is
that they shall not be barred out if they have
reached the age of As. Such rule would
give all veterans chance, at least, on the
limited list, and would give them preference
over those who come from civil life.''

Special to the Globe.
LONDON, June 17.-Munich presents the
appearance of city in state of siege. The
departments of state and other public build
lngS and streets are in possession of the
regular troops and police. Everything de-
notes haSty military preparations only to
be accounted for on the supposition that the
authorities are in a fear of general
rising. Popular feeling is strongly aroused
and the belief is almost universal, rightly
or wrongly. that the whole story of the
kings death is fabrication. Many i'm
portant personages declare outright that a
fearless investigation will show the unfor-
tunate monarch to have been foully MUIR
dered, and that the conspirators
are the leading men OF the
Luitpold party. 1t has been
determined by prominent burghers to Or
ganiZe public demonstration on the occa-
sion Of the funeral. Enormous placards
and banners are to be carried in the pro-
cession, lamenting the assassination Of
their sovereign. The authorities have
made extensive preparations to control an
outbreak should one occur, but it is hoped
that the measures adopted will insure the
lnterment passing off peacefully.
TRYING TO PROVE HIM MAD.
L
dolph will attend the funeral of King Lud-
wig on Saturday as the representative of
the Austrian court. A number Of persons
have been arrested here for distributing
pamphlets containing attacks on the Ba-
varian ministry for alleged relations of the
circumstances attending King Ludwig's
death. The German court will go into
mourning for three weeks on account of
the death Of Ludwig. The Austrian court
will go into mourning for two weeks. The
chamber of deputies have begun
the discussion Of bill introduced
by the government to establish regency.
The late King Ludwig left no will. Dr..
Schliss denies giving any opinion on the
kings condition or publishing a report in
the newspapers. He says that the chronic
inflammation of the cerebral membranes
justities the theory of Ludwig's insanity
and that the normal condition Of the cere
bellum explains the faculty of the clear
Judgment possessed by the king, in spite of
the fact that in other respects his mind was
diseased. Among the documents which
have been submitted to the diet to prove
the insanity Of the late King Ludwig
is a decree of the dead monarch SEN
tehcing all the ministers to death,
copies of which were sent to all the menu
berS of the government, and decree SEN
fencing number of the ministers to ban
ishment to America. The affidavits of
thirty persons have also been submitted in
which it is stated that the king injured
them by throwing at them knives, china
and glass. There is also document relat-
ing to a proposal of the king to form
cabinet with MS valet as president.
