SHOULD KEEP COOL.
Justice Harlan's Advice to Columbia n
Unfversity students.


Mr.. Justice Harlan of the United States
Supreme Court, in lecture to the students
of the Columbian University, referring to
the Maine disaster, advised the students
that this is time when people ought not
to lose tt cir heads. as some people are now
doing. in and out of Congress.
Il am sure that / can give you no better
advice than to warn you to keep cool, not
to pass judgment upon grave subjects un-
less you have all of the facts before you
If there is anything our profession teaches,
1t Is to wait until a case is presented be-
fore you reach q final conclusion. You will
understand very well to what l refer. A
great calamity has occurred in the waters
near by. 1t is idle for any man to say that
he knows how that calamity occurred, and
any man belittles his nature and lowers
when he expresses the anxiety that it will
turn out that 1t was not an accident, but
that 1t was treachery, rather than an acci-
dent. Brave, generous men do not want to
think SO badly OF their fellow-men.
we don't want to believe that that was
an act Of treachery and duplicity; we hope
It Will turn out otherwise And we ought
all to have this feeling, that If it turns out
to be accidental, we should rejoice; IL il
turns out not to be accident, we will not
hear any more of north, south, east or
west, no more of republicans, democrats or
populists. We will hear only of Ameri-
cans"

The Powerful, it is reported, has been or
dered from Yokohama, and the Centurion
from Wei Hal Wei. 1t is openly talked
that the Germans will try to prevent the
bOmbardment of Manila.
An event that is significant at the pres

called on Admiral Dewey to say good-by
when the American feet left Chinese wa
tiers for Manila. Consul WiIdman and
Capt. Gridley We're on the quarterback of
the Olympia in conversation with Dewey
and the prince. The prince said, laughing
~, to the three, but looking Dewey in the
eye: L will send my ships to Manila to
see that you behave"
Dewey's historic jaws closed, but with
perfect grace he replied: II shall be de-
lighted but permit me to caution your
highness to keep your ships from between
my guns and the enemy"
The prince saw the point. If the Ger
mans ever get in Dewey's way, we shall
have another war on our hands.
The atmosphere is heavily charged here.

RIOTS IN HEILBRONN.
Bayonets Prove Unavailing and the
Mob is Dispersed by
Ffremen,

Berlin, June pa special dispatch to

town of Wurtemberg Circle of Neckar,
twenty-six miles north of Stuttgart. says
that mob made a demonstration before
the town hall of that place yesterday
against the election of Herr Hegelmeyer
so the Reichstag.
Troops with fixed bayonets attempted to
clear the square in front of the hall, but
the rioters continued their assault on the
building until they were dispersed by
means of streams of water played on them
by the firemen's hose.
Later the rioters recommended their at
tack, but the military succeeded in gain
ing possession of the square, the town
hall and the neighboring streets.
Many of those who participated in the
disorders were wounded and numerous ar
rests were made.
