nation of the entire Cabinet in the hands of
the Queen Regent.

tuted on March 8, 1899. was made up as fol-
lows: President of the council, Senior Don

Senior Buran; minister Of finance, Senior Viii
lavcrde; minister of the interior, Senior
Dato; minister Of war, General Polavieja;
minister of marine. Admiral Gomez Imay;
minister Of agriculture, commerce and pub
lie works, Senior Cardenas.

try Whereabouts. The two columns-one
from Santa Rita and the other from San
-Antonio-united before Porac, according to

President of Cornell University on
National Expansion.

ITHACA, n. Y, Sept 2S--President Jacob
G.. Schurman In mis- address at the opening
of the scholastic year of Cornell to-day
spoke at length on the subject of national
expansion. Mr.. Schurman was president of
the committee sent to the Philippine islands
to investigate the subject of the civil
government of the archipelago. At the
outset Mr.. Schurman referred to his address
OF last year, when he negatively
the inquiry Shall we take the Philippine
islands from Spain?' His opinion, he said,
brought upon him no little condemnation,
but the rapid march Of events rendered it un-
necessary to consider whether these opin-
ions were sound or not. The treaty making

nitted by an overwhelming public opinion.

islands from Spain. Some people were still
discussing the theoretic expediency of ex-
pansion. This had not been an open question
since last winter. The only question to-day
open was this: The United States having
purchased the Philippines from Spain, what
shall be done will them?" This must be
decided by the President and Congress. With
them. he thought. it could be left in the con-
fdent expectation that a wise conclusion
would be reached. Continuing. he said:
There are those who speak of the Philip

warships off Tompkinsville as the hub from
which the b%rilliancy radiated. The bay has
never before had as brilliant or picturesque
display of continuous illumination as that
seen tonight. nor has the interest mani
tested by the shore jewellers been more
manifest. Beginning at Brooklyn bridge
with its string of white electric lights
punctuated at stated intervals with red and
green-colored arc signal lamps. the immense
brilliant motto Welcome Dewey" was sus-
pended as il it were in air. Looking from
the bridge toward the Jersey coast, similar
signs could be distinctly read on the gate
way of the railroads that are bringing thou
sands to swell the paen of welcome to the
returning warrior. Farther down the bay
On the Brooklyn side was the same fiery
Welcome and also on Staten island. At
the brightest light the same hearty greeting,
Welcome Home" fianked by an immense
illuminated American flag could be seen for
miles. The residents at quarantine gave for
the benefit of the sailors on the ships a dis
play Of fireworks. which was followed by
other patriotic residents along the Brooklyn
and Jersey coasts. After the displays Of
fireworks the Olympia and New York gave
an exhibition with their searchlights, light
ing up passing craft and picking out in
brilliant relief many of the pretty wooded
spots on the Staten island hills. Tomorrow
night the fireworks and Examinations will
be more general.

later the Warwick lay to fifty yards from
the stern of the Olympia. my Country.
tbs Of Thee was the first number and as
soon as 1t was over the jackies and officers
expressed their appreciation by three hearty
cheers and a tiger. Then the flashlights
played and showed the admiral's flag at the
masthead. Three cheers arose from the
Warwick and then the 1900 singers broke
forth into the stirring strain, See, the Con-
quering Hero Comes" The band of the
Olympia played the "Star-spangled Banner
and the band on the Warwick joined in, and
the Olympia helped the visitors 10 fill the
night with the magnificent chorus.
Three cheers for Dewey" someone on the
Warwick called. and a roar went up from
the dim dark line along the rail Of the
Olympus as well as from the excursion boat.
The Union next sang the "Hallelujah"
chorus from Handel's Messiah" as the
Warwick drew away but the anxiety of the
singers TO crowd the bow and try to get a
glimpse Of the admiral cut the singing short.
Farther away the Warwick drew and the
singers united In the fine music of Men of
Harlech.'" That was well under way when
the naval colors were run up on the stern
OF the Olympia, and with the searchlights
full on old glory it was gracefully dipped
by way Of salute and thanks. The Star

night to the great admiral.

a fitting reception. But, whatever the sig

a warm welcome as they approached singing
The Battle Hymn of the Republic" The
New Ycrks searchlights were turned on the
singers and they cheered for Sampson and
were answered with cheers by the crew.
Then somebody on the Warwick called out

answering shout was fully as loud as that
which went before. Then followed the
Hymn OF Thanks" "Hallelujah Hymn"

Rear Admiral Howison's flagship, the Chi

only was on deck, but they worked the
searchlights bravely and their signal lights
did a lot OF winking, presumably reporting
the singers on hand and we'll. The singers
cheered the admiral. The Warwick started
back to Manhattan at $50 o'clock.

q q. Injunction Case.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2s.-Judge Thayer to-
day filed an opinion in the injunction suit
of the receivers of the Kansas City. Pitts
burg & Gulf Railroad against the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company ct al.
which will practically end the boycott
against the P%ittsburg & Gulf and restore
amicable traffic relations between that road
and others with which it has agreements
The gist of the order in the case is con-
tanned in the last paragraph of Judge
Thayer's decision. 1t is as follows:
Il shall accordingly direct the receivers
to conform to the lowest rate which may
be put in force by the south Atlantic lines,
provided those lines shall not establish a
rate which is higher than the one which was
put in force by the Pittsburg & Gulf on
March 6, 1899. The main question in the
case, concerning the right of complainants
to an injunction, l reserve for further con-
sideration and will probably dispose of 1T in
a few days"
This means restoration of the s1.S7 rate to
Missouri river points.
