in the perlous business of revolution
making must expect to pay when they

to fix the penalty at a lower sum and
to attach greater consideration to the
primary circumstances to some of the
offenders On the whole, however,
President Kruger has let off the lit

Has Not Been Nominated Yet.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Herald
this morning says:
j. Pierpont Morgan, looking excep-
tionally we'll after his visit to London,
arrived home on board the steamship
Teutonic. He was met down the bay
by his yacht, the Corsair, which ac-
companied the liner to its pier at the
foot of Christopher street, where, after
Mr.. Morgan had shaken hands with a
few friends, she took her owner aboard
and carried him to his place at High
land Falls on the Hudson.
Mr.. Morgan refused himself to every
one save the members of ais family
when he reached his country home, on
the plea that he was excessively weary
after his long journey. 1t was intimat-
ed, however, that he might have some
thing to say later in regard to the
manner in which American securities
are regarded abroad. When he was
spoken to in regard to the objects and
the results of his trip on board the
Teutonic, he declined to talk about
them or to refer to them save the
pleasant incidents of his voyage When
he was asked whether he believed Nc
Kiniey's nomination in St Louis would
have any effect upon the financial re-
lations existing between home proper
ties and foreign investors. Mr.. Morgan
smiled and remarked: mr. Mckinley

BOSTON. June 1l.-Three thousand
Harvard men, encouraged by the phe-
nomenal event of Harvard victory,
fought 100 policemen in the streets of
historic old Cambridge last night. 1t
was the biggest riot that the university
has ever seen. The moment it was
known that Harvard had won, there
was a roar that shook every window
for mile around. Then all was pam
demonium. In half an -FOUR there was
on foot the biggest celebration ever
known at Harvard. The whole city
was a blaze of red fire, while all kinds
OF fireworks spurted in every direction
and the evening was made hideous
with the blasts of thousand giant
horns
mammoth procession was formed
and marched to Harvard square. The
police, anticipating trouble, were out
in extra force
The majority of the Harvard men
were armed with revolvers and took up
running volley, firing into the air.
While cheering for the individual MEM
bers OF the team was going on, Clay
Stone Briggs, Harvard student, from
Galveston, Tex, was arrested. He had
of a policeman. As the policemen were
hurrying him off, the mob took in the
situation, and there was q mad rush
of 5000 enraged students to the rescue.
A line OF Harvard men jumped for the
backs Of the policemen, who still chung
to their prisoner. Arthur T. Pilling, a
student from Washington, was the
first to take an officer. He was prompt
ly knocked down.
Goldwait H. Dorr of Orange, n. j.,
student, jumped on another police
man. He was arrested. Many police
men and students received wounds.
Finally the police were victorious, and
the three students named were dragged
into the station house and the heavy
doors were slammed In the faces of
the mob.
For an hour 5000 mad students sur
rounded the station, clamorsng for the
release of the prisoners. The chief of
police and prominent citizens adj
dressed the students and urged them
to dfsperse. The students paid little
attention to the officers and refused
TO dispense until the three men who
were arrested had been released on
bail. They then departed, cheering as
they left the police station, with the
three heroes mounted on the shoulders

A POPULIsTS IDEAS.
Prospect For a Fusion of All the
Silver Men.

TOPEKA. Kan, June 11.-John W.
Breidenthal. chairman of the Populist
state committee, thinks there is pros
pect of a fusion of the silver men of
all the parties in the national cam
paign this year He believes the Popu-
lists would be willing to yield some
what to the silver Democrats and the
silver Republicans if the Democratic
convention at Chicago should nominate
the right kind of a man"
81 do not mean" he said, in an in
terview today, that our party would
consent to lay aside it's party organiza-
ton or that we would abandon all
other principles for the sake of silver
I mean that we would for the sake st
silver not be so tenacious as to the
presidential candidate. Our party has
come to stay and it will ultimately ac-
complish ali the reforms which it was
organized to accomplish, but an oppor-
tunity 10 give to the country free coin
age of silver is offered this year and
believe the silver leaders of the other
two parties have it in their power to
unite our forces with theirs"
Asked to name the man whom he
thought the Populists would be willing
to endorse. Breidenthal said:
well, there's Morgan, Of Alabama
a Democrat, or Judge Caldwell, OF
Arkansas, a Republican l believe the
Poputists would be willing to accept
either of them. Bland, too, ought to
be acceptable.

NEW YORK, June He. T. Har-
grave, the visible president of the
theosophists, says he expects legal pro-
ceedings will be resorted to in an effort
to prevent himself and seven others
from starting Saturday on crusade
around the world. He will not tell
who are opposed to their going, but
says they are enemies of the society
as we'll as the crusaders. He intimated,
however, that manufacturer who had
been studying the faith was leader,
but denied that the possible reason for
their objection was the expenditure Of
the society's funds, and said the cru
saders would pay the greater part of
the expenses themselves. 1t is under
stood, however, that there is consider
able opposition to the expedition. In
the party are Claude Wright and wife,
II. T. Patterson, Mrs. K. A. Tingley,
Mrs. J. C. Keightly and e. t. Har-
grave After visiting all the large
cities in Europe they will go. to Egypt

POOR PROGRESS.
Members of the National Committee
Have Their Hands Full


ST. LOUIS. June 1.-THE Repuhli-
can national committee made such
poor progress today that the members
of the committee are beginning to feel
that there is danger Of very great pro-
longation of this work. Up to II o'clock
tc'1ay the committee, after sitting for
twelve hours, had decided contests af-
fecting thirty seats in the convention.
These included the four Delegates at
large from each of the states of Miss
issippi and Florida and scattering
delegates from districts of California,
Alabama, Kentucky, Florida. Missis-
sippd and Missouri All the delegates
seated, except two from Florida, are
Mckinley men.
1t has been practically decided by
majority OF the committee that Hon
Charles w. Fairbanks shall be given
the place of temporary chairman, and
telegram has been sent notifying him
of the probability Of his selection 1t
has also been suggested TO Mr. Fair
banks that he deal almost exclusively
with the financial question in his OPEN
ing speech. 1t is understood he will
acquiesce in this suggestion and that
he will take a strong position for an
unequivocsl declaration for the pre-
servadion Of the present financial
standard. There is strong PROBABLE
fty that Senator Thurston will be per-
manent chairman.

In conclusion Mr.. Savers says:
If the present congress had rigidiy
refused authority for additional con-
tracts and had appropriated only TO
meet the immediate and fiscal year re-
quiremenfs under existing ones, the
next congress and administration
would have been in position 10
largely reduce appropriations and ex-
pendftures, and the administration of
the government could easily have re-
turned to an economical method of ex-
pendfture. This, however, has not
been done, and the majority in con-
Gress must be held responsible for this
grave dereliction in public duty"
