DIR. DwIGHT's LAST.
Veteran President of Yale breaches His
Final BaccaIaureate.

New Haven, Conn, June s5.--Prssi-
dent Timothy Dwight, the vene rable re-
firing president of Yale university, today
preached his last bacoalaureate sermon
before the graduating Glasses of the
academic and the scientific departments.
This service was rendered all the more
interesting because the occasion was also
the 5Oth anniversary of President
Dwight's own graduation. Many Of his
old classmates were in the chapel.
The graduating class occupied the
greater part of the body of Battell chapel.
All of them wore the academic robe and
with the many visitors from out of town
who are here for the commencement sea-
son, the scene was one long to be remem.
bored. A remarkable tribute of respect
and affection for the venerable president
was witnessed when immediately after
the benediotion was pronounced the en-
tire body of students turned instinctively
toward the central aisle through W hich
the president passes out of the oh urch
and acknowledged his farewell with
silent and dignitied bowling. President
Dwight was noticeably affected and the
hushed audience was deeply impressed.
President Dwight's sermon was based
on the words of the 65th Psalm. "Thou
makest the outRoings of the morning and
evening to rejoice" His sermon was a
very simple one, 1t evidently being h Is
desire to express in way that was very
personal, his deep sensibility OF the
fasherhood of God, and in his own lam
guage. he said hellooked back over his own
history and was moved to express his
heartfelt gratitude. For" said he,
II see evidences there of the existence of
a loving Fathers care. / want nc evi-
dence that does not belong to my own life
to make clear to me the existence of a
father and a God"
The sermon was devoted. to the de-
velopment of the thought that life is a
constant growth from youth and I'm
maturity to old age. He compared the
course of life to long and bright sum-
mer's day which in successive periods
gradually and evenly changed. His own
time of life he said, was the late after
noon.
In conclusion. President Dwight spoke
feelingly of the long vacation which now
opens up before him. He looked back
upon his career and found In 1t more of
joy and happiness az the years have gone
by. At the close of the sermon President
Dwight added a yaledictory in the most
solemn and impressive manner, his voice
often choked with emotion.

Exemption OF Property
at Sea.
Question Enters New Stage BY
Statement Americans.

London. June 26.-The correspondent
Of the Times at The Hague says: The
following Is the text Of Russia's naval
proposal:
Acceptance of the principle that for the
term of three years the sum of the naval
budgets shall be determined with an en-
gagement not to increase the total during
that triennial period and with an obIiga-
tion Of announcing In advance for said
period:
First, the total in tonnage of those
ships Of war which it is proposed to
build. without specifying the models
thereof; second, the number Of officers
and crews in the navy, and, third, the
expenditure ON works in ports, such as
forts, docks. arsenals and the like. --,
1.-The question of the exemption of
private property at sea from capture in
time of war has entered new stage,
American delegates
"I hear on good authority that certain
foreign power may extend the discussion
to the declaration of Paris, with a view
of getting rid of one feature, which is
not considered advantageous.
The first half Of the voluminous paper
is merely summary OF past action on
the part of the United States in the mat
ter. The proposal itself follows
Private property of all the citizens or
subjects of the signatory powers with the
exception of contraband of war shall be
exempt from. capture or seizure on thu
high seas or elsewhere by the armed YES
sells or by the military forces of any IF the
said signatory powers but nothing hereil
contained shall extend the exempticl
from seizure to vessels and their cargoef
which may attempt to enter a. port block
AIDED by the naval forces of any of sair
powers" "
The American delegates, referring tt
the fact that the circular OF Count Mu
ravieff excludes extra3eous matters, say
1.-The fact Of our having received tn,
instruction: herein referred to from the
President of the United States shows tha'
our government believed the scope of tn,
conference wide enough to include this
question:
They urge es an argument that theiz
proposal If adopted as rule of war
would ameliorste the hardships of naval
warfare; bu t it has been conclnsivel,
proven by experience in past wars tina,
the destruction of sea borne commerce i,
one of the most humane ways sof rsdue
ing the power of An enemy. As grsa
thinker once observed, i5 is better to de.
stroy mems property than their. lives.
For the moment the question is whethei
the subject is one which can, consistent
ly, with the terms of the Muravieff oircu.
lar, be submitted to the conference. 1
seems scarcely probable that the matter
will be solved In a SO nse favorable TO the
American proposal. At all events, somt
of the leading delegates consider it out.
side the competency of ths conference.
