Anniversary at Hampton Institute.

HAMPTON, Va, May 26.-The 95th
anniversary of the Hampton Institute OF
Virginia. which was commenced yester-
day, is being continued to-day. The
commencement exercises proper, except
the va!edictorY, took place last evening.
This afternoon is being devoted to me-
mortal service to General Armstrong,
whose death has just put sorrowflil
but glorious climax to his quarter of a
century Of work for the negro and the
Indian, and also to the reading OF essays
by pupils and graduates. These essays
traced the development of the school
and its influence and evidenced the deep
love and high purpose inspired by it's
great leader. Z. b. Monroe, president
of the school board of trustees, an
nounced that at their morning meeting
they had appointed Rev. III. Il. Frissall
to be the new principal OF the Hampton
Institute. This appointment has given
general satisfaction.

ROANOKE, VA. SATURDAY MORNING. MAY 81 1898
THE LAW TO BE UPHELD.
Attorney-GeperaiO lney Ssys No Sunday
Fair VIII be Allowed.


WASHINGTON, May 26.-The Attor
ney Generals explicit instructions to
the United States district attorney in
Chicago to present the matter of the
opening Of the Worlds Fair on Sunday
to the federal courts in case he found
on his return to Chicago that the com
mission adhered to its announced pur-
pose OF opening the gates on Sunday
next Is understood to be in line with q
general policy adopted by the admins
tration after full consideration.
Attorney General Olney, being seen,
unhesitatingly confrmed the statement
as to the nature Of the instructions he
had given the district attorney and as
to the determination OF mis- department.
to take legal measures to prevent the
law OF Congress being violated.
The Department OF Justice, it was re-.
called, ruled some time ago in reply to
questions propounded by the Post.
master General that the Worlds Fair
must be closed on Sunday. he also. in
an interview with Mr.. John Willis
Baer; OF Boston; secretary of the Society
Of Christian Endeavor, gave him dis
tinctiy to understand that "the Govern
ment would see that the law was en-.
forced in case the national commission
should at any time decide to open on
Sunday"
The interest which the official nm
nouncement of the Attorney Generals
instructions has evoked has rather
dwarfed the significance OF the resolu-
tions adopted by the Presbyterian gen.
eral assembly to day to appoint com
mittee to wait upon Secretary Carlisle
to asked him to treat the exposition as
bonded warehouse and to order it
closed on Sunday, as all other bonded
warehouses are. Treasury officials en-
trusted with the enforcement OF customs
laws see obvious difficulties in the way
OF carrying out this programme.
There is no way, they say, in which
tho exposition buildings containing
bonded exhibits could be closed like
bonded warehouses except by placing
locks upon them.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding, who
has charge Of customs matters, said this
morning that this would be obviously
imprac ticable, as the foreign exhibits
and the exhibits OF American goods
were in many instances side by side.
Moreover, the responsibility for the
safe-keepiug of the foreign bonded
goods was imposed upon the local d.
rectory. Consequently the point made
that the buildings were in the Same
category as bonded warehouses, Secre-
tary Spaulding said, does not hold good
The committee appointed by the
general assembly waited upon Attorney
General Olney in regard to the matter
this afternoon and were much gratified
to learn Of his decisive action. %

METHODIsTs At MINNEAPOLIS.
Pulpits FILLED by Bishops and Pre-
siding Efders-Dr. Peck's Sacrifice.

Yesterday was another field day for the
Methodists Of Minneapolis For the second
successive Sabbath, and for the last time
for many years to come, the pulpits OF their
churches were occupied by bishops and pre-
siding elders. representing. in their official
capacity. every state and territory of the
Union, as well as the foreign field OF mis-
sion.
As a matter Of fact, the number Of avail
able Methodist orators was in excess Of the
places of worship of that denomination; and
so. as an exemplihcation of practical broad
gauge Christianity. the pastors of the West
minister Presbyterian, the Fourth Baptist
and the Plymouth Congregational churches
voluntarily abdicated in favor Of distin-
guished representatives of a creed different
from their own, but who are. nevertheless
their colaborers in the work Of spreading
the Gospel.
Missions was the general theme of the
day, and many OF the preachers. while de-
ploring the economy that the general con-
ference had been compelled TO enforce,
spoke in an optimistic vein Of future pros
poets, insisting that the clouds OF financial
and commercial depression would soon pass
away, and that with the returning prosper
ity the mission movement would be broad
ened and enlarged as never before. The
collections in all the churches were ex-
tremely large.
1t developed yesterday that Rev. DR.. J.
o. Peck. of New York. who Saturday de-
cided to abandon his trip TO India and Ms
laysla, in order that he might devote the
coming year to the task of raising funds
for the mission movement. had sold his res
idence in New York, stored his furniture
and packed his trunks. and that passage
had been retained for himself and wife.

FEELING AT HONOLULU.
The Provisional Government Taking
steps to stablish a Common wealth.

The PrOvisional Government Taking
Steps to Establish a Commonwealth.
The following extract from a special let
ter to the Philadelphia Press from Honolu-
i'll, dated October 20. is of especial interest:
Everything continues quiet here in a po-
htical way. Everybody is enxiously await
ing Mr. Cleveland's action. In the mean
time the provisional government officials
are taking steps to form a permanent gov
eminent, to be called the commonwealth Of
Hawaii.
Last week the Russian government,
through its minister here, acknowledged
the new government, which now makes the
present government acknowledged by all
the foreign powers.
The talk of the restoration of the mon
archy by the United States is still INDUCED
in by the supporters of Mrs. Dorimus. the
late queen, and should this take place
would rather be dead than stand in the
shoes of some of the members of the pro-
visional government.
AS an indication that the present gov
eminent does not expect an early solution
of the question OF annexation, they have
advertised for bids for designs for the new
issue of /, 2. 3. .. 10 and Z-cent postage
stamps.
Mr.. Ellis Mills of England. who will be
received the American consul general
out of polite respect for the United States
arrived yesterday on the Oceanic, and was
enthusiastically received by natives, En-
gnSn, ana tne Wnlle rOyaHsts. Inc AHlerl-
cans think they can put up with him until
new administration comes into power in
the states. 1t is expected that Minister
Wills will arrive in a very few DAYS, and
that he will bear some definite news in re-
gard to Mr.. Blounts report on The policy
Mr.. Cleveland has decided upon in. regard
to these islands.
Privately, members of the provisional
government have admitted TO me that they
do not expect annexation under the present
administration in Washington. but that
the government is able to maintain itself
until the next presidential election In the
states, when they think the annexation Of
these islands will be made an issue in the
campaign and the party that opposes the
gift of these islands to the great republic
will be defeated.

MIR. STEVENS STATEMENT.
What the Ex-Minister to Hawaii Says
of His Course at Honolulu.

In a signed letter in the Kennebec, Me-.
Journal today John l.. Stevens. late United
States minister to Hawaii, makes the fol-
lowing reply to Secretary Grcsham's report:
According to authentic reports from
Washington a public crime of startling i'm
port is about to be committed under the
authority of the American government A
public crime of less proportions, but in its
moral type similar to the sitting of national
life and the reform aspirations of Poland
and Hungary, a few years ago by the i'm
perial despots, and to the crushing out of
the newly formed republic of Rome by the
usurped powers of Louis Napoleon. All that
American piety. American benevolence,
American schools and American patriotism
have accomplished in Hawaii in the past
seventy years are now centralized in the
provisional government and stand in its sup
port. 1t is a government honestly and ably
administered. and the best government that
Hawaii ever had.
II know not the influences which induced
