GRADUATION EXERCISES.
Held at San Jose State Normal
School Yesterday.

SAN JOSE, June Generalization ex-
ercises We're held at the State Normal
School to-day Diplomas were awarded
to sfxty-four graduates. of whom .wo
are from the kindergarten department.
There are only three young men in the
class The graduates come from all
parts of the State, but chiefly from Cen
trail California
Professor Elmer E. Brown of the
State University at Berkeley, delivered
the annual address. The. central
thought of his discourse was that stu
dents should take a broad, a states
man like view of their work. This
would result IA greater good to the
general community and country at
large. He thought it unfortunate that
as the public school system is now or
ganized selection of teachers is not
made on well defined lines of selecting
the most competent. He thought the
PLAN now followed in selecting teachers
by governing boards is largely one of
personal favoritism, questions of COM
potency and worth being largely
omitted in the selection.
The graduation exercises were I'M
usually brilliant and happy.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 22.-The
medical board Of survey, recently ap-
pointed to pass upon the mental con-
dition of Captain Ware. has made it's
final report. The report has been passed
upon and approved by Colonel For

dition will havessome effect in that case
as it was during that trial he showed
signs of what has followed since, in

Action Of the Striking Carmen Game as i
Surprise.
They Unanimously Rejected the
Propositions Submitted by the
Company and Agreed to by the
Strikers Committee in the Aft
ernoon, When It Was Supposed
the Strike Would End This
Morning.

CLEVELAND, June 22-The hope of
settlement of the street railway strike
was shattered tonight, when the strik-
ers at a meeting rejected by an unan
imous vote the propositions submitted
by the company to the special commit
tee of the City Council, and to which
the strikers committee agreed this af-
ternoon. The proposition of the COM
pany states that it is ready and will
ing to take back into its employment
such of its employees as its business de-
mands, aggregating at the present time
so per cent. of. such employees except
always those that have committed I'M
lawful acts against the company, its
property or employees during the pres
ent strike
1t was generally believed after the
conference of the representatives of the
company and the committee of the
strikers was concluded that the end Of
the strike would come tomorrow morn
ing and the action of the strikers to-
night came as a surprise.
A strong force of police was sent this
morning to South Sides, where the
street railway company will attempt
to run cars ON the Holmden avenue and
Pearl-street lines. The tracks on sew
eral lines We're again found piled high
with Instructions when cars began
running this morning. There has been
no disorder. An adjourned meeting of
the strikers and representatives of the
railway company will be held at IL
o'clock to further consider terms Of
settlement.
All members are reticent, but one of
the strike leaders expressed his per-
sonnl opinion that unless all the men
are reinstated, at least placed on the
pay roll, a settlement would be as far
off as ever.
CLEVELAND CO., June 22.-Com-
mittees representing both sides in the
street railway strike have unanimously
agreed on terms of settlement The
conditions are kept secret and will be
submitted to meeting of the men this
evening for ratification by the strike
committee.

WILL CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS,
Otis Has Advised the Government
to Send 10000 or $4,000.

CHICAGO, June pa special from
Washington to the Tribune says
President Mckinley has decided to call
for volunteers for service in the Phil
ippines. It has been determined to
form at least nine regiments and pos
sibly twelve.
For the present the President deems
nine or ten regiments enough and it is
underst God this number is based on the
representations made by General Otis,
who is said to have recently amended
his estimate Of the forces he will need
in maintaining peace in the islands.
There are now $4,000 regulars in the
Philippines and there will shortly be
reinforcement of at least 1900. This
furnishes General Otis with the army
desired in the earlier estimates from
Manila. Lately, however, he has had
occasion to revise these figures and
under the influence of the more liberal
estimates ct General Lawton and other
advisers, he has informed the Washing
ton officials that the presence of 1900
or Is, 600 volunteers to supplement the
force of regulars will be safeguard.

Yenisseisk, Yakutsk and Barnaul ha

Yenisseisk, Yakutsk and Barnaul had
not until recently felt the effects of the
new life; now, however, these large
and iourishing towns have attracted
the undesirable attention of the ma
rauding bands and the result Is that
crime is rapidly increasing in these
three towns.
Especially remarkable is the infi'i-
ence exercised by the railway upon the
resident peasants; many Of them aban-
don husbandry and take to a wandering
existence; visit to the nearest railway
station has filled them with the desire
to travel, and, true to the Russian
character, they give themselves up to-
trade and speculation. st. Petersburg

Country, as the Gold is So Fine

turning miners came up from the San
Rogue placers on the steamer st.

Captain H. L. Swain, the official rep
resentative of the Chamber of Com
merce and an experienced mining man,
who visited the mines under instruc-
tons, to send the. exact facts regarding
the placers, sends the Chamber of Com
merce a letter, in which he says:
THE placers cover ten miles square
but in this space the actual workings
are very limited, being confined to the
river beds dry that find their source
in the range of mountains to the north
east. Daily. the prospectors are Of
course finding new fields; but their ex-
tent and richness seems to be very
limited, and while there is without
doubt considerable gold in the country,
it is so fine and SO largely distributed
that at any one spot it is not found
in paying quantities and will never
be rich placer country.
"a great many have turned their
attention to prospecting for quartz
lodges, and while some claim to have
found veins carrying largely in gold,

tiate these statements.
Many also have been prospecting for
copper, though as far as / have been
able to find out, with Indifferent sue
cess, the veins all proving too small
for working.

worked for number of years by the
natives, who are satisfied with small
returns, but / should advise all for

finding the establishment at Washing
