Yale's Baccalaureate.

New Haven, June 23.-The annual
baccalaureate sermon at Yale was de-
livered this morning by President
Timothy Dwight in Batell chapel. Presi-
dent Dwight spoke from Ecolesiastics 7-4.
"Better is the end of thing than the be-
ginning thereof, and the patient in spirit
is better than the proud in spirit F" He
said: "The mind turns largely to the
future. We wish time to go piece by piece
until the last days and houfs are reached.
and then we change in our feelings and
with regretful spirit send forth our un-
availing wishes that beginning might re-
turn to us. Today the end has come and
the wish of your hearts is that you could
in your life follow your thoughts back
ward along the pleasant years The grow
ing man is more tomorrow than he is to-
day. Every thing within this sphere that
genuine man gains in progress of life
m axes life better for him. Life may have
disappointments in it, but it is not itself
disappointed. 1t may carry along with
it some deceptions and many sorrows,
but it is not itself deception and sorrow.
1t is JOY. pointing to greater JOY, and
truth pointing to greater truth. Think
not of the past and It's pleasures, but re-
joice in the opening of the future. To
desire the result before the movement of
years has brought it in the natural way,
is to abandon the true idea of living and
shut from our vision the joy and beauty
Of the process by which we grow. Igno-
rance, love of power, debasing passions,
and a thousand other things will close
the doors by which good influences must
hope to enter if they enter at all. May
the ending here open into happier be-
ginning wherever you may be in coming
your life and as life passes on to its FULL
ness.

sign.
After dinner at Windsor Castle, las1
| night, Lord Roseebry had long private
audience with the Queen, and communi
Gated to her the decision arrived at by the
government. The ZENITH of the cabinets
deliberations was due to the attitude Of
| Herbert Asquith, home secretary an6
Jno. Morley, chief secretary for Ireland
who strongly opposed any step involving
| either resignation or dissolution. They
argued that in view of the stage of de-
bates on the Welsh disestablishment and

POLES CAREFULLY SET.

The overhead construction connected
with the termini and switches was one of
the hardest problems. The overhead frogs
and switches in use up to the present
time have been constant source of
trouble, through the liability of the
trolley wheel to get caught in the span
wire
Upon the tangents the poles are set
with such geometrical precision as to Sc
cure absolutely perfect alignment-That
is to say a person standing directly be-
hind the first pole on the tangent cannot
see another pole until the line again
curves. There is one such stretch nearly
a mile long between Point Allerton and
Nantasket.l To secure such absolutely
correct setting of the poles the greatest
care was taken.
The poles are set in wooden caissons
five feet deep and three feet wide, the
space between the poles and caissons be-
ing filled in with cement concrete The
erection of the poles in this manner dis
pensed with all necessity for guy wires
The tracks are fifteen feet apart from
centre to centre. and between the tracks
is the single row of poles upon which are
supported the cables and trolleys wire

POWERFUL MOTORS.

Four motor cars built after the style OF
baggage cars are the electric locomoti yes.
To secure traction they have been built
extra heavy, fully equipped weighing
about sixty thousand pounds. The cars
are equipped with the Westinghouse air
brake and have all the standard appli-
ances of the steam cars used by the New
Haven road. In addition to fifteen inch
going at the front end of the motor cars
each Of these cars will have chime
whistle, worked with compressed air in
place of steam. The air for the brakes
and whistles will be supplied by an air
pump placed in each of the motor cars
and run by an electric motor, the current
for which will be taken from the trolley
wire.
Except for a single feature there is not
the slightest resemblance to the Esteam
locomotive This feature is the COW
catcher at each end of the motor cars,
situated directly underneath the plat
forms, instead of projecting beyond the
body of the locomotive.
The Nantasket Beach branch was
chosen for the experiment for the reason
that within its limits will be included
most of the different problems which
will have to be determined in order to
make electricity successful substitute
for steam. The curves are many anG
sharp, the grades steep, trains will rur
with great frequency and many Other
equally important problems are crowded
into the seven miles between Old Colony
House station and Pemberton.

Honduras and Selaya of Nicaragua have
been in conference here for several days
to prevent exiles of any of these coun-

fomenting revolutions.
The Presidents in conference have
reached practical understanding which
is confidently expected to eradicate the
evil and to assure peace in Central Ame-

Since the war between Honduras and
Nicaragua, last year, which res ulted in

Much Admiration Expressed for the Unit

Kiel, June 22-The vessels of the
American squadron have continued
to be objects of admiration and
curiosity to the officers of all of
the assembled fleets, who, almost withou
exception, have inspected them. The
consensus of opinion is that the San

smartest ship in the harbor, and the Col

officers of the Russian squadron, who
heartily wished their French hosts bon

with the utmost hospitality, champagne
constituting a large share Of the refresh

Lieutenant Ward, who was attached at
various times to the United States en-
bassies at Paris, Berlin, and ST. Peters
burg, declared in an interview last night
that he was heartily ashamed while max
ing the passage Of the canal to think how
the Americans had banged the big drum
and blown the trumpet for years, seek
ing to show what great nation. n.they
were, and what great things they would
do in the tremendous work of building
and controlling the Nicaragua Canal.
yet they had neither built it nor allowed
any one else to do so. In the meantime
Germany saying nothing, had plodded
along, and when her canal was ready, it
was opened, and the world invited to
view it.
This impression is largely shared by the
naval officers Of other countries The
entire arrangements We're perfect and
the Germans have shown the visitors from
all nations, without the least indication
OF partiality, the utmost attention.

1t is expected that the Emperor will
pay visit to the Columbia tomorrow.
The accident which occurred on the
San Francisco's steam launch yesterday
was caused by the blowing out of the

done to the vessel or her fixtures, beyond
the tearing away Of her awning. -Four
