FOR ARBITRATION.
President Mckinley Will Propose New
Treaty.

Washington, June 19.-President Nc
Kinley has determined to revive the
abandoned treaty of general arbitration
between the United States and Great
Britain. A new treaty already has been
drafted to serve as the basis of negotia-
tions expected to result in the submission
of convention to the Senate to replace
the one which failed early in the present
session. In this draft there are none of
the Objectionable points which caused
the failure of the Olney treaty 1t is not
in contemplation that the treaty will be
submitted to the Senate before next De-
cember. There is every reason to believe
that the attitude of the Senate toward a
new treaty will be fully canvassed and
understood before the treaty is signed.
1t is understood that the initiative in
the present case will be taken by this
government. Sir Julian Pauncefote sails
next Wednesday for Great Britain. 1t
was understood at first that the ambassa-
dor would take a copy of the new treaty
with him, but this will not be done. 1t
is expected, however, that draft will be
in London at no distant date.

Japan and Annexation.

Washington, June 19.-The Japanese
minister has filed with the Secretary OF
state formal statement of the position
of his government with respect to the
proposed annexation of the Hawaiian
islands by the United States. Although
1t is officially denied that Japan has pro-
tested against the annexation treaty, it is
admitted that that government has rep.
resented in the strongest terms its expect
atlon that its treaty rights in Hawaii
shall be fully respected in case Of annex
alton. The letter of the japanese minis.
ter on this subject will be forwarded tc
the Senate for its information IN the con.
sideration of the treaty.

THE PRlMAcY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
snbJect Eof Baccalaurea.e Sermon to
Seniors of Harvard,

Cambridge, Mass, June 2O.-Rev. DR..
A. Gordon, pastor of the Old South
church, preached the baccalaureate SER
mon to the graduating class at Harvard
university this afternoon in Appleton
chapel. The exercises were simple, DR..
Gordon conducting them with the usual
prayer and the class hymn sang by the
graduating class. The graduates were in
cap and gown and formed quite congre-
cation in themselves. Besides there were
seats reserved for the faculty and trustees
and the rest of the chapel was crowded
with friends. The chancel was beautifully
decorated with palms and flowers includ-
ing good sprinkling of crimson in the
coloring. The regular college choir sang.
DIR. Gordon's subject was ''The Primacy
of Righteousness. His text was Matthew
VI, SO, "But seek ye first his kingdom
and his righteousness. "
His theme was the divergence of the
different interests in social, mercantile
and political life, the separation of the
material and the spiritual parts of daily
life, and the existence of an inverted
world, there the ethical and business in
terests were distinct.

"MlLIsH" IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
Results Cover An Election of Captain for
Augusta Company.

Houlton, Me-, June 19.-Governor
Powers has been implored to use his good
influence toward Strengthening out an un-
pleasant tangle in the affairs of the Au-
gusta company of the Maine National
Guard. AS represented to him the tangle
in question came about in this way:
The recent retirement of Capt. George
Doughty started rivalry between First
Lieut.. Oliver N. Blackington and Second
Lieut.. d. W. Lovejoy. The members of
the company were thoroughly canvassed
in behalf of the two candidates, and a
close election was predicted. In order to
elect an officer in military company
there must be present at the election not
less than one-half Of the total membership
of the company. Company F has thirty
five members.
On the night of the election there were
in attendance twenty -one members of the
company. Thirteen participated in the
bailoting, three asked to be excused from
voting and five others remained silent
| when their names We're called, Of the
thirteen ballots cast twelve were for
Lieut.. Lovejoy and the other one for
tLieut. Blackington.
Col. L. III. Kendall's report to the ad-
jutant general showed that there was no
quorum present at the meeting, and con-
sequently no election. Accompanying the
report was a recommendation that Lieut.
Blackington be appointed to the captain.
cy of the Augusta company.
In compliance with this recommends
tion and its Endorsement by Adjutant
General Richards, the Governor appointed
Lieut.. Blackington. He was commits
stoned, but before he was assigned a pro-
test was filed by Lieut.. Lovejoy. The
burden of the latter's claim was that he
had been elected captain of the company,
having received majority of the votes
cast at an election which was attended by
more than one-half of the total member
| ship Of the company.
| This protest went up through the regu-
| lar channels and came back with a refu-
SAL Lieut.. Lovejoy has retained Mayor
Choate of Augusta as counsel, and will
push his claim to the utmost limit.
Three courses of action are open to him.
One is to decline to obey the orders of
the appointed captain, thus forcing the
| latter to prefer charges against him and
bring about a military court of enquiry.
Another way would be to apply to the
court for an examination, under the claim
that he has been duly elected captain of
the company and is ready for examina-
tion as to his qualifications. The third
course, which Lieut.. Lovejoy is said to
most favor, is to prefer charges against
| the officer who conducted the election
claiming that the returns of the election
| were falsif1ed. This will bring the mat
| ter before the adjutant general in a way
| that would insure the holding of a court
of enquiry, and secure final adjudication
| of the claims.
The rumpus in the Augusta camp has
| become matter of common knowledge
among the various military organizations
| throug hout the state, but great precau-
tion has been used with view to keeping
it from the public. The request to the
Governor is made in the hope that he will
be able to pour walls of oil on the troubled
billows.

ABLE DISCOURSE BY PRESIDENT
HYDE AT BRUNSWICK.
Freedom Comes by Right Relations to
Environments, the Theme-Opening
Exercises of commencement at Will
liams and Other Institutions.

liams and Other Institutions
Brunswick, June 20.-The baccalaureate
sermon to the Bowdoin college class of '97
was delivered by President Hyde of the
college in Bowdoln church on the hill,
late this afternoon. Thea event marked
the beginning of commencement. The
seniors in cap and gown formed in line
and followed by the under graduates and
large number of town people marched
to the church, which edifice was crowded.
The sermon was finely delivered and held
the attention Of all until the close. Presi-
dent Hyde said in substances:
The truth shall make you free-John
s, 80.
Freedom does not come ready made,
nor by craft and cunning; but by truth
or right relation to environments. Right
physiological relation is health; and
health makes man physically free.
Right economic relation is honesty
living within income; keeping out of
debt; making conservative investments
and that gives economic freedom. Con-
fine investments strictly to the business in
which you are trained expert; to real
estate under your own eye, to savings
banks, local loan and building associa-
tions and the most conservative bonds
Business in general is nota big pool from
which any one with little capital can
fish out wealth. Business profits belong
exclusively to expert business men; and

the penalty of his folly and virtual dis
honesty. The success of any business
scheme depends on hundred considera
tions which only the expert can forsee.
The outsider sees half dozen of these
points; and because they are obviously
favorable, takes his chances on the rest;
and loses nine out of ten.
Right professional relations is thorough
ness. Know all that can be known; do
as well as can be done, what you profess to
do. Drew the thing as you see it, for the
good of things as they are. Right social
relations is sympathy; capacity to take
the point of view Of our fellows; and treat
them as persons not as, things. Show
you appreciate another's point of view
and have his real interest at heart: and
though you resist him and fight him, as
you often have to, you can still keep his
respect and good will. Right religious
relation is reverence grateful and obedient
service of God and our fellowmen; and
that makes us sharers IN the grandeur
and glory of the Cosmic process; members
of the divine kingdom that is coming
among men; heirs of the freedom of the
eternal life"

Tariff Bill Well Through the

REPUBLICAN DIFFERENCES ARE
ALONE EXCITING CONCERN.

Settled in Caucus-Practicauy De-
cided to Drop Internal Revenue Fea-
tures of the Bill-No Change in House

cided to Drop Internal Revenue Fea-
tures of the Bill-No Change in House
Programme.
Washington, June 2O.-The Republican
Senators in charge of the tariff bill begin
to feel that the end is almost insight.
They do not hope to conclude the con-
sideration of the bill by the close of the
present week, but they expect by that
time to be able to say when they can
complete their work
As a matter OF fact the difficulty of ad-
justing the differences of the Republican
party is causing the managers more per.
plexity at present than is the open opposi-
tion to the bill in the Senate. 1t has been
found impossible to harmonize the con-
tending forces among Republicans on the
tobacco and wool schedules. The differ
ences on tobacco have been compromised,
though not to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned, and if there should be another
caucus before the tobacco schedule is
taken up in the Senate the question is
liable to be reopened there.
The wood schedule will confront the
Senate at the opening of the session Mon
day and it is Senator Allison S purpose to
press the schedule forward to close.
The wool schedule will of course give
rise to an animated debate, but the Demo
cratic Senators say there is no disposition
| on their part to unnecessarily prolong it,
There are also numerous articles on the
free list and in the ''sundry' schedule to
which will arouse differences of opinion
and if the Republicans don't withdraw
the internal revenue features Of the bill
there will be a sharp clash over this They
have practically decided, however, to re-
treat from these provisions. 1t is also
practically determined that the House
provision in regard to Hawaiian sugar
will be continued pending the disposition
of the Hawaiian annexation treaty.
For the rest the question Of reciprocity
and the problem presented by the trusts
in connection with the tariff are still un-
determined by Republicans themselves.
The programme in the House will be
1.-The same as during past weeks. There
will be two sessions, one on Monday and
another on Thursday. 1t is probable that
the committee on rules will bring in a
special order on Monday for the consider
Eation Of the bill appropriating the money
to repair the dry dock at the Brooklyn
navy yard and the bill will no doubt be
| passed.
