CORNELL.S ANNIVERSARY.
Growth of Big University Described
by President SchurmIn.

President Schurman's address at COM
mencemcnt yesterday at Ithaca, n. Y.
dealt with "A Generation of Cornell it
being the thirtieth commencement of the
universitys OF those who took part in the
opening exercises in 1868 only three sur

were present, and Andrew d. White, now
ambassador to Germany.
President Schurman designated the first
fifteen years. 1S6S-1Ss3. as d struggle for
life" In the fall of 1881 the value of its
western timber lands suddenly and enor-
mously advanced. and within the year the
millions of dollars We're pouring into Cor
nei.s excheQuer-
No deveIoplnent of Cornell University
is more remarkable than the great and
rapid increase in the attendance of stu
dents during the last few years. From
SS4 students in 1sS1-S2. the attendance has
risen to 1855 in regular courses during
1stI-9s. and if 10 the latter We add the
1.2 who attended the summer school and
the ninety-three who took the winter
tourse in agriculture, We have total of
2.l2o who received instruction at the uni
versity in 1s9I-9s- During the last six
commencementS. including today, | have
granted as many degrees as both my pre-
deCeSsors. White and Adams, during the
twenty-four preceding years.
The total income from all sources was, in
1SS2, Sl4i. .44.21. and in 1897 it was s516.-
154.S2, and the total property of the uni
versiry has grown from 81 261 ,,l.O1 in
1Ss2 To s9.us9, ,Gr SO i'll 1891, excluding $6O1-
UeO worth Of ulIsold lands.
The value OF buildings has in the same

struction of the Nicaraguan canal has been

structton OF the Nicaraguan canal has been
assured. The dog in the manager attitude
towards the rest of the world will neces-
sarily be modified or abandoned. Colonial
ton and extension Of trade markets by
national power will more or less impress
our future history. Internal revenues will
hereafter contribute more largely than the
custom house to the revenues of the ma
tional government. Not that the war
created these changed conditions. 1t SIM
ply indicated and emphasized their exist
ence. So long as we were unable to sup
ply our home market, and depended large
iy upon imports, we were necessarily a
debtor nation and confined to home con-
ditions. When, however, the products of
our fields and of our mills exceeded the
home demand, and Europe owed us bal
anoe of $ouO,O0O,0O0 in a single year, the
maintenance of our foreign markets
against the world became a national neces-
slty. The same reasons which have dlctat-
ed the colonizing policy of Europe, and
SO as to preserve their markets both ways,
now equally affect the United States. 1t
means Tor us foreign colonies a first-class
navy, an increased army. 1t means that
never again shall We lapse into such a con-
dition OF armed readiness to make US
subject to the caprice of any second-class
foreign power. 1t means that when We find
1t necessary to participate in the great af-
fairs OF the world our word goes, because
We have the guns to enforce it. 1t is cheap
talk to say that our national policy has
never been one of acquisition and extension,
but it Is not true. From the time of our
occupation of the original fringe of the
thirteen colonies, upon the Atlantic sea-
board, we have steadily, by purchase and
by conquest, pushed the stars and stripes
steadily westward, until in Alaska we have
more than half spanncd the Pacific ocean.
1t is as easy to appoint a governor of the
Philippines as to appoint a governor of
Alaska, and much easier than it was in the
4Os to appoint a military governor of Cali
fornia.

4 Rich Product to lie Brought Out
This Summer.

Erastus Brainerd. formerlyof the Press
and other PEila'l, Iphia papers. and ex-
state land commissioner of the state of
Washington. where he now resides in
Seattle. has been making an extended trip
through the east. For the past six
months he has mad charge of the interests
of Seattle. in promoting Kiondike trade
and he came to Washington on business
relating To that subject. To reporter of
The Star. who net him at the Raleigh,
MIR BTainerd said.
Nothing except the immediate success
of the United States in the Cuban war
would give 50 much satisfaction to Seattle
as the speedy appointment of. and prompt
action by such a commission. as the Lacey
Alaska bill contenplates to settle all the
matters in dispute on the Alaskan from
tier. relating to boundary customs and
similar topics. 1t may surprise YOU as it
has some of our own officials to learn
that. among other things. Canada has es-
tabllShed regular custom house in Bos-
ton, Mass, for the collection of Cana dian
duties from New Englanders who intend to
90 to the klonlike 10y way of the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad. When say custom
hCuSe, j do not mean merely the location
Ct an Inspector of goods intended for
bonding, but | mean. according to that Off
GERS statement to me. a regular collector
OF customs. who collects duties in Boston,
tier, Il most astonishing performance and
one which, il seems to me. adds addition
al strength To Senator Elkins' well-known
views on the privileges Of the Canadian
racine OF course We in Seattle have and
can nave no objection to the proper en-
1Orcement of Canadian laws but we hold
that tntE are not so enforced. | apDreciate
the fact that the subject at this time is
not wholly Oppcrtune. but if the Cuban
war Were not its high inheritance
would be appreciated, especially as the
canadians have established their Alaskan
frontier custom houses over twenty miles
inside of what has always been claimed on
american maps as American territory
However / believe that all of these oues-
TONS can easily be settled in a friendly
spirit provided they can be settled soon
