The Class Day Exercises Very Entertain
ing-The Alumni Programme Reunion.
Special to the Register.
Fairmont, w. Va, June 9.-To-night
the alumni of the Normal School had
charge of the programme, which was
very interesting. After the programme
reunion was held
To-day the annual class exercises
were held at 10 a. m. The class fur
nished its own music, Misses Filson,
Fenton, Young and Dudley giving some
selections on the piano and Messrs.
Rose and Hawse the class song. The
recitation of the class was given by Miss
Cora Helmick, and was thoroughly en-
ioyed. H. II. Rose, the class orator,
also well pleased the large crowd which
had assembled.
A. L. Hawse, the class historian, told
of the battle for the presidency of the
class which had been fought by Messrs.
Earl McElfresh and l. w. Allen. The
last named had been the candidate of
the woman's suffrage portion of the
class but had met defeat.
Miss Jamesella Filson, the class poet,
delyed into the private love affairs Of
the members of the class, and with
held no sparing hand S. T. Spears was
class artist, and caused much amuse-
ment by his pictures and unique ex-
plantations. Miss Ida Judy's class
prophesy was pronounced by all
the best thing ever given at the Nor
NAL during class day exercises.
The new features of admonisher and
the reading of the class will were both
entertaining. Miss Leonora Dudley, as
admonisher, warned each member Of
his of her shortcoming and created
much amusement.
Miss Villa Hart Butcher daughter Of
ex-State Superintendent of Schools B.
L. Butcher. read the class will and re-
membered each of the teachers and
many of the pupils with some Of the
property of the graduating class. The
class song was the best that has been
heard here since '94. when Paul Mccoy
and e. B. Carney carried away the
honors. and is deserving Of special
mention.
Among the strangers who arrived in
town to-day to attend the exercises
are Miss Marie Burke, of Grafton; L.
c. Oyster. of Lumberport; R. f. Mason,
of Nuzum; J. L. Leech, c. W. Robin
son. and w II. Thomas. of Naming
ton: Congressman Dayton and wife, OF
Washington; w. T. Barbe, of Parkers-
burg: Hon. r. S. Carr, Of Charleston;

HANNA AND THE BEER TAX.

There will be trouble in the Senate
when the beer tax is reached. The
increase will be fought hard and the
result is uncertain.
In the Washington dispatches Of some
eastern papers Senator Hanna is as
signed to the task of leading the fight
in favor of thelbrewers and that fact
is stated as adding to the uncertainty
of the result. 1t is acknowledged that
Mr.. Hanna is a hard fighter and a
skilled general. With him at the head
Of the beer forces it would seem victory
is assured, but the trained observers on
the spot do not think so. 1t is assumed
that he is working against the higher
beer tax to strengthen himself with
his constituents in Ohio and to improve
his chances of his election to the Sen
ate but il is Understood that "a num-
Der of Senators upon the Republican
side will oppose his proposition merely
To prevent the result he desires 1t Is
added that comment has been made
since the beginning of this admins
tratio2 that Mr.. Hanna is a more i'm
portant person at the White House
than he is in the Senate and it is as
serted his efforts to control the majority
will be defeated
This requires explanation. Who are
the Republican Senators who intend
supporting an increased beer tax mere
" To prevent the election of Mr.. Hanna
TO the Senate? Why should they want
the doors of the Senate barred against
his return as an elected Senator? Mr..
Foraker is the Senator most directly
concerned with his colleagues Sena-
torial future and did not Foraker sit
at the Hanna banquet and join IN the
Ohio chorus of denunciation of the at
tempt to put a higher tax on the poor
mans beer? Can it be supposed for
q moment that Senator Foraker was
nIaving his colleagues false by pledging
snnnort to his anti-beer tax PROPOSE
tion while secretly arranging with "a
number of Senators upon the Republl-
can side" to defeat it?

then be entitled to exercise under in
ternational law.
J It is true that under certain circum-
stances Spain would have the right TO
overhaul and examine American mer-
chant vessels suspected of carrying to
the Cubans articles contraband of war,
but unlike the case with some other
countries. that right is expressly de-
fined and limited by treaty between
Spain and the United States.
! The treaty stipulates that in order
to prevent disputes and that vessels
and their cargoes may be exempt from
: seizure when one of the parties is en-
gagged in a war, the ships and vessels
I belonging to the subjects or people Of
the other party must be furnished with
+ sea letters or passports, expressing the
name, property and bulk Of the ship,
as also the name and place of the hab-
itation of the master or commander OF
the said ship" Certificates containing
particulars of the cargo and the place
whence the ship sailed must also be
provided, that so it may be known
whether any forbidden or contraband
goods be on board the same
A careful study of the specific agree
ment in the treaty in regard 10 the
right Of search will show that Span
ish cruiser overhauling an American
merchant vessel would have TO act with
excessive caution if it would observe
treaty obligations We, give it entire
that there may be no Misunderstanding:
II the ships of the said subjects,
people or inhabitants of either of the
parties shall be met with, either sailing
along the coasts or on the high seas,
by any ship of war or privateer for
the avoiding of any disorder, shall re-
main out of cannon shot and may send
their boats aboard the merchant SHIP
which they shall so meet with, and
NAV enter her TO the number OF two
or three men only, to whom the master
or commander of such ship or vessel
shall exhibit mis- passports, concerning
the property of the ship, made ont ac-
cording TO the form inserted in this
present treaty; and the ship, when
she shall have observed such passports,
shall be free and at liberty to pursue
her voyage, SO as it shall not be lawful
to molest or give her chase in any man
ner or force her to quit her intended
course"
If Spain keeps within the treaty lin
itauons when exercising the right Of
search as an incident of a recognized
state of war" in Cuba, there will be
little inconvenience to legitimate Amer
lean shipping traffic. If it goes be
yond its treaty rights it would be sharp
" called to account; more sharply than
it has been for numerous violations Of
treaty obligations respecting our citi-
zens in Cuba.

It is expected that Special Commits

in Cuba will be made public at any

recommend that the war be stopped at

OPINIONS OF THE MINORITY.
The Decision Applies the Antitrust Law to
All Labor Organizations.

The opinion Of Justices White, Shiras.
Field and Gray. dissenting from the DECISION
OF the Supreme court in the trans Mlssouri
Freight association case. argues that as II Is
conceded that the association contract does
not unreasonably restrain trade and is valid
under the general law, being only prohibited
by the antitrust law, the decision is that the
act OF Congress is u departure from the gen.
eral principles OF law and destroys the right
OF individuals or corporations to enter into
very many reasonable contracts. This Is
tantamouGt to the assertion that the act OF
Congress Is unreasonable.
The question then is whether the act is to
DO interpreted as 10 give 1t a reasonable
meaning. or il IL TO be construed as being I'M
reasonable and as violative OF the elementary
principles Of justice. The conclusion is
reached that to define the words 'in restraint
Of trade as embracing every contract which
In any degree produced that effect would in
clude all those contracts which are the very
essence OF trade, and would be- equivalent to
saying that there should be no trade, and
therefore nothing TO restrain.
The opinion also discusses the effect of the
decision upon labor organizations. saying;
1.-The Interpretation of the statute, therefore.
which holds that reasonable agreements are
within its puryiew, makes it embrace every
peaceable organization of the laborer to
benefit his condition, either by obtaining an
increase OF wages or by diminishing the
hours Of labor. 1t follows that the'constrnc-
ton which reads the rule Of reason out OF II

NO COERCION BY BRITISH.
They viii Not Send Any warships b
Blockade Crete.

The change in the policy Of Great Britain
has assumed definite shape. The recent acts
by the Turks show that the Christians In
Armenia are in danger OF determination.
Consequently, it is semi-oficially stated that
the British admiral In Cretan waters has been
notified not to send any warships to take
part In the proposed blockade of the ports OF
Greece. At the same time. however, in order,
apparently, to avoid an open rupture with
the powers, Great Britain will acquiesce in the
blockade OF the Greek ports.
According TO the reports in diplomatic
circles, the powers have already been noti-
fled OF the withdrawal of Great Britain. The
sultan's advisers point TO the fact that Great
Britain does not constitute the whole OF
Europe. and that so long as the sultan has
the support OF Russia. France, Germany and
Austria he has nothing to fear from Great
Britain. II Is whispered that France will in
all probability follow the example OF Great
Britain. France could readily take this step
without disturbing to any appreciable degree
her accord with Russia.
1t is stated that Great Britain has init
mated to the powers that II Greece is block
AIDED steps should also be taken to blockade
the principal Turkish ports. This move Of
Great Britain may bring about an abandon
ment Of coercive measures.
Iii the meanwhile Great Britain has def
nitely proposed to the powers that steps be
taken to induce both Turkey and Greece to
withdraw their forces half a mile from the
actual frontier.
Greece previously made a similar proposal
to the Turkish government, but the porte
consulted with the ambassadors OF Russia
and Germany, with the result that the
representatives OF these powers advised the
Turkish government to decline the offer.
The Austrian cruiser Satellite has arrived
in Suda bay, having in custody q Greek
steamer with 20 volunteers on board and u
Greek vessel laden with ammunition, in
tended for the Cream insurgents. These
vessels were captured while they were at
tempting TO run the blockade,
