EXPLORING POLITICS.
Stanley Finds it About as Hard
Work as Crossing Africa.
BADGERED BY THE CROWD AND
COACHED BY HIS WIFE.

He Latest Attempt was Made Friday to

LONDON, June 25.-Great Britain is
given over wholly to the excitement of
politics and nothing else is talked or
written of. In spite of the first interest
manifested in the campaign the discus
sions to which it gives rise are more than
unusually dull. The only relief from
this tameness is the canvass being made
by Mr.. Stanley, or rather by Mr.. Stan
ley's female relatives, on behalf of his
candidacy on the Unionist ticket in North
Lambeth. Mr. Stanley is far from being
a practical politician, or an effective
stump speaker and he makes miserable
failure as candidate, especially while
addressing radical workmen. Yesterday
at the Doulton pottery works he adj
dressed meeting. His appearance was
the signal for loud cheers for Gladstone,
the leader of the opposite party. Mrs.
Stanley kept by his side, pulling his coat
and prompting him as though he were
school boy. The workmen bothered
him with all sorts of questions, asking
him why he possed some time ago as an
American, yet was now a rabid Britisher
and Pumping an inquiry as to what
he was anyway, American, Eng
lish, Welsh or African. The
last query evidently riled Stanley good
deal but his wife came to the rescue with
a very sensible reply to the effect that he
had proved his English citizenship and
his interest in the country by voting two
years ago in London. Mrs. Stanley lost
her head, however, and repeated a re-
mark that was much ridiculed when she
made it from the platform that Lam
beth would disgrace itself if it did not
elect as its representative in Parliament
the greatest man in England.
In the evening another meeting was
held in the hall when there was almost a
riot, no kind of order being preserved
Reference by Mr.. Stanley to Africa elic-
tied a shout of ''Where's Emin Pasha, y
''On Stanley, On" etc. Stanley again
lost his temper and roared out: "You re-

This only made matters worse and Mr..

WATERvILLE, June 26.-The COM
mencement exercises at Colby University
began this forenoon with the baccalaure-
ate sermon by President A. w. Small.
The senior class formed at Memorial
Hall and marched in procession to the
Baptist church where the exercises were
held. The church and vestry connected
were filed to overfowing with an au-
dience anxious to hear DR.. Small's last
sermon in Waterville. DR.. w. Ell.
Spencer, pastor of the church
assisted in the services. DR.. Small's
sermon was deliverd with deep feeling
and received the closest attention. His
text was: ssWhat Is Truth?'' 'tThe ques-
tion is abstract and general; the answer
is concrete and specific said DR.. Small.
"You members of the graduating class
of Colby must live in an era of the most
microscopic criticism of truth, in which
the sum of phenomena which the system
known to PLATE attempted to comprehend
is multiplied by the addition of that
whole new world of religious experience
within the range of New Testament his
tory.
1.-THE task of constituting the universe,
which was superhuman before, is now
incalculably complicated through the in
volutions introduced by this very inter
probation of the universe which the New
Testament revelation is supposed to con
tain.
"Some of you have already discovered
that the friends of religion are perplexed
and alarmed for the authority of religion,
because the gospel has been treated as a
repository of metaphysics and because
there is growing distrust of the systems
which men have superimposed upon rev.
elationS and which claim to have found a
place for everything and to have put
everything in its place.
'Believe me, therefore. when tell you
on the one hand that agnosticism of an
enlightened sort is not only rational
necessity, but Christian duty, and, on
the other hand, that no authority is in
danger that ought to survive The Bible
will be an even grander force in the fu-
ture than it has been in the past. Jesus
will reign more royalty than the most
clear visioned prophecy ever predicted.
The cardinal argument of Christianity is
| that truth in man is that which essential
ly duplicates the personality of Jesus" :"
In the evening, at the church, occurred
the annual sermon before the Boardman
Missionary Society and Christian associ-
ations of the college. The students oc-
cupied reserved seats in the body of the
house. Music was furnished by the
University Glee Club. The sermon was
by Rev. Francis W. Bakeman, D. D., of
Chelsea, Mass, a Colby graduate of the
class of 1866. His text was form John

be fully az much power behind his blows
as there was behind those OF Sullivan, but
giant that he was the Californian seemed

was off at once for a swim in Peconic bay.
At1.30 he had lunch, and after two hours
rest took a ten mile tramp over rough
sandy roads, returning for dinner at
o'clock. At 9 o'clock, his days work end
ed. the champion went TO bed.
His rising time is about o'clock and his
first work is a nine mile walk, after which
comes breakfast at $50. Between break
fast and II o'clock he rests, but from IL
until 1 he does his work in the gymna-
SUM. The champion does not box or
wrestle, and he no longer plays handball.
When be began to negotiate for the fight
with Corbett he weighed 80 pounds Be
fore he began training IN earnest he
weighed about 240 pounds, and he tips the
scales at present at about 80 pounds,
his regular fighting weight. Trainer
Casey will get the champion down TO 20S
before they leave for New Orleans. Sept. /,
so that if Sullivan gains two pounds dur
ing the trip he will still be able to enter
the ring at 210 pounds.
As Corbett intends to weigh in at 1SS
pounds Sullivan will be twenty-five pounds
heavier than his adversary. Corbett's adj
mirers say that this extra weight will be
detriment TO the champion, but the latter's
friends declare that Sullivan tipped the
beam at about 30 pounds when he whipped
Jake Kirain, July 8, 1889, and that his vic
tory proved that he could fight like tiger
at that weight.
Corbett's admirers claim, too, that Sui
Ivan is old for fighter and that the ring
has seen very few men Of thirty-four years
who could hold their own against younger
men. They add further that Sullivan has
been dissipated and that advancing age
and wild life have made him a much
poorer man than he was three or four years
ago.
The Sullivan men answer these argu-
ments with the simple statement that
there never has been but one John l..
Sullivan, that he is the greatest fighter
the world has ever seen, and that conse-
quently age and alleged dissipation have
not affected him as they would have af-
fected the ordinary first class pugilist.
Sullivan himself says that he is in better
condition today than he was three years
ago when he whipped Kilrain, and that if
Corbett will only stand up and fight him
he will defeat the Californian in few
rounds. Corbett, on the other hand, de-
clares that he would not accept $4,000 as
the price of not meeting Sullivan, for the
reason that he will get s95, 600 if he wins,
and he believes that he has more than
half chance to get away with both Sulli-
van and the coin.
Sullivan was born at the Highlands,
near Boston, Oct. IS. 1858, and consequently
will he vary nearlv tbirtv-four wears old
when he meets Corbett. At sixteen Sulli-
