WASHINGTON, June IS. President
Cleveland to-day sent to the senate the
name of T. S. Maxey as United States
Judge for the western district of Texas
For over a week it has been conceded on
all sides that Mr.. Maxey stood the best
chance CT any of the applicants for re-
ceiving this appointment but since almost
the entire Texas delegation endorsed his
claims late last week, it has been fore.
gone conclusion that he would be the rev
United States judge of Texas western
district. His appointment gives univer-
sal satisfaction among those who know
him, as it is by all agreed it was an honor
we'll deserved.

UNIVERSITY EXERCISES.
Anniversary Grafton Before the
Literary Societies.

Tuesday, morning at Milletts opera
house splendid audience greeted the
gifted orator, the Hon. B. j. Barbour, Of
Virginia, who delivered the annual ad-
dress before the literary societies of the
University. Mr.. Barbour was suffering
terribly with nervous sick headache, and
labored under great disadvantages IN
reading his address. He spoke for over
an hour, and despite the fact that his
voice was weakened by sickness,
and that for this reason the audi
ence followed him with difficulty, yet
he was listened TO with marked and
close attention throughout his mastery
effort. His subject was "The Seminal
Principles of the Growth of the United
States" He gave complete and i'm
pressively interesting sketch of this
growth, its causes and Publications.,
and showed how the American union tow
cred far above competition; was the high
est and foremost star in the galaxy of nc
tons He closed with warning and n
appeal for the unity of Texas. His
Grafton was marked by the purest diction,
most analytical and comprehensive
reasoning, and the complete and
exhaustive style IN which he
treated each division of his subject.
Mr.. Barbour is clear thinker and
clothes his thoughts in the most beautiful
end chaste English. His manuscript was
in very bad condition for handling by q
second party, and full synopsis of the
address was promised The STATESMAN, but
up to the time of going to press it had
not beer handed in
ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES.
Last night at Millett's opera house the
Rusk and Athareum literary societies
held their joint anniversary exercises
Each society had chosen a graceful, able
and talented representative, and the
speeches of last evening would have
done credit to any literary So
ciety of any university in the
country. These literary societies are a
most excellent feature in the University
course, their exercises through the year
are well attended both by the students and
visitors from the city, and the work done
by them on all public occasions reflects
infinite credit UPON them, and the yea
their members display during the year &c
fit them for such occasions as that of las
night.

Address of Emperor William II
to the People of Prussia.
Pacific Policy.
Glads.one's Paregyric on the Late
Empercr-The Funeral-Fore-
bodlngs in France.

PorspAM, June 18.-At o'clock this
morning the bells were tolled and the min.
listers who were to officiate at the en-
peror's funeral took their places around
the coffin in the palace. The choir sang
the hymns "Lord, Thou Callest Me to
Higher joys" and "Jesus is My Trust
Chaplain Koegil blessed the corpse and
the mourners, after which the choir sang
the hymn, "If Am to Die."' The COM
manders of the Tivoli regiments, of which
the late emperor was chief officer, carried
the coffin to the hearse. Eight maj ors then
took the horses by the brides and the pro-
cession started for the church.
The second mortuary service
over the remains of the emperor
was held at Friedrichskron
castle last evening. Doctor Koegel, court
chaplain, officiated. Empei or William and
the empress, dowager Empress Victoria
and Empress Augusta, all members of Ger
many's imperial and royal families, and
the entire household were present. At
the conclusion of the service the coffin
was closed in the presence of the en-
peror, Count Won Sholberg Wernigerode,
court chamberlain, Doctor Fliedberg,
who had been hidden to the ceremony,
and was then placed on the same state
bier used at the funeral of Emperor
William.
At 9:15 o'clock this morning
Potsdam was in mourning and
emblems of grief we're to be
seen everywhere. All the way from
the castle to Friedrlchskron, where the
funeral was to take place, torches were
seen illumining with their paid flames the
shadows of morning.
The troops which were to take part in
the funeral ceremony were already mus
tering. They comprised the entire gar
rison at Potsdam and a portion of the
Berlin and Spsndau garrisons. They con-
sisted of one combined infantry battalion,
two combined cavalry squadrone, two
combined batteries of artillery, regl-
ment of artillery, regiment of the Guard,
corps from Berlin and similar combined
battalions and batteries from SpaAdau.
At 1890 O'Clock the troops assumed
their positions, and the various dignitaries,
Populations, warriors and associations
proceeded to their places.
The ceremonies at Friederichskron cas-
tie began with the performance of Bach's
"Bald rufst Du mich yum hoehren Frieden."
Then the chorale: "Jesus, meme Zuver-
SIGHT" was sung.
AS the last strains died away, Chaplain
Kegel arose and offered prayer.
The chorale: "Wenn ich einstmals soil
scheiden," was then sung, after which
the coffin was removed from the castle
and placed on the funeral car, the choir
meanwhile singing:
81 Know that My Redeemer Liveth."
The procession was then formed and
moved to the church. After service
Chaplain Kegel pronounced the benedic-
ton. There was no sermon. Before
leaving, the widowed empress bent over
the coffin and took solemn farewell look
at her dead husbands face.

A BIG BARBECUE.
The Citizens of Austin Invited
to Participate.
OAK HILL, June 10.

correspondence
OAK HILL, June IS.
The big barbecue is booming. Every
body. his wife and child are invited, with
the editor and staff of The STATESMAN
included. A meeting to perfect arrange
ments was held at the Oak Hill institute
asst Saturday night. The various com.
mittees we're appointed, and chairman
for each one selected. John Grumbles,
one of the Texas pioneers, was selected as
a committee of one to wait on Gov. Ross
in person and extend him an invitation
to meet with US on that occasion and de-
liver a speech on the progress Of the Lone
Star state, that being first on the pro-
gramme, followed by the reading of the
declaration of independence by Nick
Dawson. Ample provision has already
been made to feed 5000 people. The
grove and tables will be under the imme-
diate charge of that indetatigable worker
Jas. Patton, who never spares pains nor
labor to make everybody happy. The
most important of all the committees is a
standing one that has acted for several
years, composed of P. NJ. Rozell and
Green Patton, that is to get the
sticks on which the meet is cooked.
We have already sixty carcssses sub
scribed and S15 in cash in the
treasury, with Il. Mcclure as treasurer.
sc. Cranberry will introduced the
speakers.
The barbecue will be in the Bickitt
grove, on Williamson creek, in West Oak
Hill. In behalf of the citizens of the city
among the hills, we extend to the'citizens
of the Capitol City, cordial invitation to
come one, come all. This will be a gol-
den opportunity for the candidates to
button hole the hard listed yeomsnry of
the country. Come boys, you are WEI

Now, what will the republican party say
this year to make the tariff issue def.
inter" 1t cannot repeat the straddle OF
1884; 1t cannot go back to the brief deo-
laratiops of 1880 and 1876; it cannot base
IFS declarations on the action of Its repre-.
sentatives in congress, because after six
months, in which they have been working
over the subject in that body, they are
entirely unable to agree upon any action.
The people will have no difficulty in un-
derstanding what the democratic party
mean to do. There is the Mills bill and
the Presidents message and the president
himself to show what the policy of the
party is. The issue is very clearly UNDER
stood; the attitude of one party regarding
it is as clear as need be. What will be the
attitude of the other New York Times,
