WAsHINGToS, June Is 1t begins to
look as though a strong fight will be
made by the House against the tariff as
II will come from the Senate. The con-
ferees, if the usual order of selection
from the ways and means committee is
followed, will Include Wilson, of West
Virginia McMillin, of Tennessee; Tur-
ner, of Georgia, and Montgomery, of
Kentucky; all staunch tariff refOrmers
and free from the influences which are
supposed to have governed the "cOnser-
Vatives Of the Senate. The feeling of
opposition to the German bill has been
intensified by Havemeyer's admission of
the vast profit made by the sugar trust,
Of the fact that the proposed duty will
add one cent to the cost of every pound
of sugar and that the trust made cOntri-
parties with the distinct purpose of Sc
curing favorable legislation. A strong
opposition to the proposed wool schedule
has also developed, especially among the
southern senators, on account of its con-
ce>siOns to the manufacturers while Sena
tors Murphy and Smith may refuse to
vote for the bill uni s. these concessions
are mad.
President Cleveland left Thursday
evening on the light house tender Maple,
for few days outing. All sorts Of
alarming rumOrs as Io his health are
now in order, but in reality he has no
ailment which a few days of salt air and
freedom from official worries may not
be expected to cure.
Last Thursday evening | had the
pleasure of attending the commence
! ment exercises of the Johns Hopkins Uni
vefsity, OF Baltimore, and hearing an
| able address to the graduates by Walter
| Ii. Page, editor of the Forum. He was
a fellow in Johns Hopkins University
when it was first organized and after
ward studied in Germany, several years
| before he established the Raleigh State
| Chronicle. He made a strong plea that
our great universities should endeaYor to
turn out men not only scholarly, but able
and eager to take a leading part in busi-
ness, Literature and politics.

Bassett, of Durham who held the fellow
