Interesting College Commencement EXef-
CiSeS at Boston and New HaYen.

Boston, June 24.-The weather for COM
mencement day at Harvard was perfect,
and the time-honOred observances of the
day were carried out with the same spirit
aud precision as in former years. Governor
Russell, Lieutenant Governor Hale and
members of the Governors staff were es-
corted from Boston by the National Lam
GERS, reaching Massachusetts Hall at 10
O'Clock, where President Elliott was in wait
ing to receive them. Among the other in
vited guests was Chief Justice Fuller of the
United States Supreme Court. Within the
theateT was gathered a brilliant audience,
such as always assemblies to applaud the
graduates and listen to the orationS of their
representatives.
At the alumni dinner Tonight President
Elliott, Governor Russell and Chief Justice
Fuller delivered addresses. The latter spoke
of the wisdom of the trainers of the C0nsti-
tuition in declining TO confer political power
upon the Judiciary Department of the United
States Nothing has done more to commend
that department to the confidence and re-
spect of the people than its scrupulOus alb
Stinence from purely political questions.
The following alumni officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President. Levrett
SaltOnstall of Newton; Presidents
Horace Davis of San Francisco, Robert
Lincoln of Chicago. Henry S. Huidekoper

Trumbull said among other things: AT
home we are now in the throes of civil war.
For sixty years there never has been revO-
luton, but to-day there is in that once happy
country distrust and danger. By the machi-
nations Of corrupt men who plotted while
we slept there are now war clouds IN the
sky. These men unblnshingly demand
bribes. They are men who have shut up
the courts and set aside the law i know
that we, i'll our struggle, will have the warm
support OF Yale, for 4ale men are lovers OF
liberty. We want government something
like that Of the New England States We
believe that you are with us in our struggle

dispatch from President Balmaceda repre-
senting that the people were Overwhelm-
ingly on his side, and that the insurgents
had no army and no credit, and would go to
pieces in tew days, is q tissue of lies. He
says that Balmaceda is afraid to furnish
arms to his troops for fear Of their deser-
ton to the popular side. We have within
the last week engaged the services of
Evarts, Choate e. Beaman, a New York law
firm, and will press our cause judicialIy as
far as possible.
