ST. AGNES ACADEMY.
Commencement Exercises a Splendid
Success.

For many years the annual COM
mencemeut of st. Agnes Academy
has been invariably looked for
ward to by the refined and cultured
of the community as the crowning
day of educational work for the
season.
The Academy long since establish
ed itself as one of the foremost in
stitutionsof learning in this section,
today its name and fame are as
sured and its excellent work is at
tested by its many young lady
graduates, who in practical know
leges, and refined culture are
second to none,
At an early hour the friends and
patrons of the school began to as
sembled and when the doors of the
Opera House were thrown open all
available space was llleu by the
eager eXpectant audience.
The varied numbers of pro.
gram like that presented Tuesday
evening, embracing numerous
band of every age as actors, is be-
yond description. How the good
Sisters contrived to marshal so
many pupils and bring them into
place and time with the precision
displayed last evening is marvellous.
But order and discipline were
plainly seen in the management OF
the varied numbers,
The opening piece Commence
ment March" was beautifully exc.
cuted by Miss Alice Forham, the
rarely gifted and highly accom-
plished musical directsess of the
Academy and to its measured
strains st, Agnes sweet girls en-
tered with stately tread.
Every musical number showed
ability, good execution and taste,
as well as careful aud thorough
training

day, June Both, one week prior TO
the assembling of the Democratic
national convention. This body OF
men will be in the nature OF a
steering committee, and will meet
delegates upon eirarrival and will
have general charge of the inter
ests of the silver forces at Chicago.
One of the objects of the early
meeting of this conference is to
watch the actions of the executive
and the full committee
itself, so that no action may be TAX
en- adverse to the interests OF the
silver forces. Senator Jones pui-
pose is to leave no point unguarded
by which the silver men may receive
a setback from the antl-silver con
tingent OF the party.

THE FIGHT is ON.
Teller Champions the Cause
of the White Metal.
FORAKER WILL REPLY.

Special to the Texarkanian.J
St. LOUIS, Mo-, June l8.-The
weather opened clear this morning
and the large Convention Hall was
soon filled by the different delega-
tlons.
An effort will be made to close
the nominations tonight and ad-
journ.
A heated time is expected over
the debate on the financial plank
as a minority report favoring silver
will be presented, backed by Teller
as the champion of the white met
al.
1t is freely said that in case of
failure on the part of the minority
to get their views recorded in
the platform, that the delegates
from several silver states will with,
draw from the convention.
Teller in his speech for minority
report says: THAT the progress of
the country depends on recognition
of silver; that the question is an
important one as was the separa-
tion of this country under two
flag; that the adoption OF the gold
standard plank, would lower all
farm products and that protective
tariff cannot be maintained on a
gold basis; that large majority of
the people of the country are in
favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. He announces
most emphatically that he will not
support a gOld5ug candidate on the
platform offered by the convention.
Teller's amendment in favor of
silver was supported by California,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada,
North Carolina, Utah, Arizona and
New Mexico, representing SO votes.
Teller was Cheered although his
speech.
Foraker is now speaking in an
swering Teller.
At 1916 p. M, great excitement
was occasioned by the delegations
of several states marching from
the Convention Hall. At l2:7 those
remaining commenced to sing "Red
White and Blue.
AS fast as the delegates would
march out their alternates would
take their place.
Senator Brown of Utah speaks
in favor of the platform as a whole.
Cannon speaks and says the ma
iority's action is outrageous aud
relentless on the minority,
At 1925 p. IN. Forakers motion
to lay Teller's substitute on the
table as to the financial plank car
ried, the vote being 8183 for; lO5!
against.
Cannon announces at Ill p. m.
that Utah withdraws from the con
vention. Much confusion at 1;2l
p. N.
The platform was called up for
adoption and it went through with
a rush.
Chairman Thurston says he does
not tear any declaration from Re
pubrcans as to their action. Great
CHEERING.
