tro pueblo.1
Vamos q cuentas.
SRetrocede ell pals, porque ell partido
liberal applique la autonomfa administrative

Pues ESQ haran Munoz Rivera los suyos

CLEVELAND hONORED.
Honorary Degree Conferred Upon
Him at Princeton.

Princeton, n. j., June 16-Princeton' s
one hundred and fiftieth annual com
mencement day exercises took place at
1880 o'clock today. Alexander hall was
thronged with visitors. who attended
not less in expectation of seeing an
honorary degree conferred upon ex-
President Cleveland than to see the
customary exercises.
On the speakers rostrum, President
Patton and Mr.. Cleveland occupied
seats of honor.
Deafening applause greeted Mr..
Cleveland when he arose to be pre-
sented as candidate for an honorary
degree. DR.. Patton conferred the de-
gree upon Mr.. Cleveland, who spoke a
few words in acknowledgment of the
honor conferred. Mr.. Cleveland said:
Il cannot forbear the EXPRESSION of
my profound appreciation of the honor
conferred upon me, and a, confession of
my gratitude for the warm welcome
brotherhood of Princeton university.
When 1 recall the high place that
Princeton occupies among the uni
versities of the laad, her proud history,
her bright trophies won on the field of
higher education. her vital relation to
the patriotic achievements which have
helped to make the nation. l am proud
of the honor which 1 have received at
her hands. AS l recall the sincerity
and cordially which ACCOMPANIES this
honor, think that another tie has been
formed which binds me with closer af-
fections and deeper feelings to- the home
where / expect TO spend the remainder
of my DAYS"

VICTORIA, TIE GREAT
Poem by Alfred Austin, Poet
Laureate of England.

New York. June 16.-In its forthcom-
ing issue the Independent. under the
headline. Victoria the Great" will
publish the following poem written for
that paper by Alfred Austin, poet lau-
reate of England:
The dew was on the summer lawn.
The roses bloomed. the woods were
green,
whe9 forth there came, as fresh as
dawn,
A maiden with majestic mien.
They girt a crown about her brow.
Ihey placed sceptre in her hand
ana loud rang out nations VOW
God guard the lady of the land
And now the cuckoo calls once more.
And once again tunes roses blow
And round her throne her people pour,
Recalling sixty years ago.
And all the goodly days between
Glory and sorrow. love and pain,
The wifely mother, widowed queen,
The loftiest as the longest reign.
She shared her subjects bane and bliss.
Welcomed the wise. the base withstood
And taught by her clear life it is
The greatness to be good.
Yet while for peace she wrought and
prayed.
She bore the trident, wore the helm,
And Mistress of the Main, she made
An empire Of her island realm.
So. gathering now, from near from far,
From rule where never sets the day,
From southern cross and northern star,
Her people lift their hearts and pray.
Longer and longer may she reign,
As through a summer night serene,
Whence day doth never wholly wane.
God spare and bless our eInpress-queen.

Mr.. Jones' amendment was rejected
without division, and the paragraph rs

On oranges, lemons. lines, grape
/ fruit and ponlelos, the committee had
substituted the rate of cent per pound
for the house rate of q of cent on
fruit and 80 per cent aG valorem on

some discussion.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas argued that
the measurement of fruit by weight
was unwise.
Mr.. McLaurin of South Carolina pre-
scented a statement showing that the
proposed rate would be prohibitory on
foreign oranges, lemons, etc.
Mr.. Perkins of California champiOned
the interests of the citrus fruit grow
ers of California. He said that the price
of foreign lemons was put up when
there was a serious need of them in the
hospitals. Much of this class Of fruit
brought disease and had to be con-
demned by the authorities.
Mr.. White of California, who support
ed the proposed rates. differed with his
Democratic associates in their state
ment that the duty would be excessive.
The paragraph was then agreed TO as
reported.

New York. June IA special to the


Herald from Washington says:
There are 81 senators who can be
counted as certain to vote for the ratif-
cation of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty. This is just three less than the
requisite two-th;rds. There are II other
senators who are undecided as to how
they VIII vote and q who are opposed TO

This IS the result of n careful canvass
of the senate. The advocates of annexa-
ton are confident of their ability to Sc
cure the necessary votes and bring about
the ratification: of the treaty. Some of
the senators who are non-committal are
inclined to favor annexation, but want to
hear the arguments on both sides before
finally deciding. Others are inclined to

WORSE THAN DENVER,
La Veta, Colo, Visited by a Heavy
Windstorrn.

Denver, June ia special to the
Rocky Mountain News from La Veta,
Col. saws:
Commencing about o'clock this
morning. this town was visited by a
wind storm that citizens who have
lived here 20 years say never was
eQualled for the terrific force with
which it blew and the damage done TO
shade and fruit trees Box elders and
cottOnwoods over i inches in thickness
were split and the limbs torn of in a
few minutes after the storm began. The
previous outlook for fruit was the best
for years, the trees being loaded with
apples and cherries. but tonight after
the storm very little fruit remains on
the trees, and it is bruised and dam
aged. The storm seemed to only affect
the Cuchara valley Garden truck
looks very much as it would after
a heavy frost. and It is question
whether the vegetation will recover.
Strawberries. which were plentiful,
were dried up and it is hardly possible
that they Will recover Very little dam
age was done TO buildings and no acct
dents are reported to individuals.
