Baccalaureate services at the univer-
sity auditorium yesterday afternoon
were attended by a very large number
Of Laramie people and visitors from
other towns in the state. The program
as printed was carried out in a very
acceptable manner. The singing of the
hymns was particularly good.
President Smiley's baccalaureate ad-
dress was one of the most appropriate
and interesting ever listened to in Lar
annie. His subject was The Duty and
Destiny of America" Some apprehen-
sion had been expressed hat in view
of the subject treated of, it would very
likely be politically partisan, but it
could only be said to be partisan in
this-that it was optimistic, hopeful,
encouraging, cheering.
The president introduced it by re-
marking that the beginning of a CEN
fury was, as shown by past history,
usually a period of great events in the
worlds history, and that the present
indications justified hat prediction. He
admitted that there were some bad ul-
GERS on the body politic-that intem-
perance cast a dark cloud over the land,
and that we had Sums and drawbacks
in our great cities; but in spite of these
facts he believed hat there was a bril-
liant future open to the country and
that the great redeeming qualities
which would result in success consist
ed in the confidence that the nation
had in humanity-in man-the respect
that was shown him-the trust that
was reposed in him; and contrasted it
with the despotic governments of the
old world. He then touched upon the
advantages which the youth of Jul land
enjoy, and of the love which every
true American has in his heart for
America, and of the value every Ameri-
can sets upon such privileges as free
dom of speech, press and conscience.
He then commented upon the late
wal and of the relation between the
United States and the great European
powers. The sectional differences were
forever cemented in our great land and
the north and south were as brothers
ono more. President Smiley called at
tention to the miraculous victories by
sea and land in the Spanish war. He
spoke of the great opportunity now
opening in Asia and the far east.
His address to the graduating class,
consisting of fifteen young ladies and
gentlemen, was exceedingly appropri-

is NOT UNDERSTOOD
A Cabinet oniciai Makes a Statement
CONCERNING the Porto Rico
Tariff Question.

Washington, March "a member
of the cabinet gives out the following
authoritative statement:
There has been a wide misapprehension
OF the Porto Rican tariff bill, of the atti-
tude of the president of the action of con-
gress and of their relations TO each other.
The criticism and the concern which have
come from some well-meaning quarters are
due almost entirely TO misunderstanding
OF the real facts. When the country cor
rectly understands the truth, as IL certain
~ will. 1t viii thoroughly approve what has
been done
The attempt TO represent that there has
been disagreement between the president
ana congress Is wholly unfounded. There
has been no essential difference between
them. Both have sought the same object.
The recommendation of the president and
the house bill, In their purpose and effect,
amount to the same thing AS a conse-
quence each rightly sustains the other
Ihe clouds of confusion on the subject
nave been clouds of misunderstanding and
will clear away.
Nobody can understandingly object to
the 10 per cent. duty all paid back TO Porto
Rico on the ground that IL is unfair and
hard towards Porto Rico. He can UNDER
standingly object, only on the claim that
there Is no power to levy any duty
at all, and such a claim would leave
and helpless in the Philippines as we'll
as In Porto Rico. Between a Is per
cent duty as provided by the congression-
al bill, every cent of which is TO be returned
TO Porto Rico, that island also getting all
collected at the other end, and the removal
Of customs duties as suggested by the
president for humanity's sake, there is abb
solutely no difference whatever in prac-
tical results. In both everything is for hui
manity. Congress was aiming at the same
result the president. and the president
rightfully accepts the act of congress The
representation that either was not in ac-
cord with the other disregards every essen
tial element in the case.
But between a 10 per cent duty and free
trade as constitutional right going neces-
sarily and instantly wherever new land
may be acquired, there is the worldwide
difference between reserving full dis
cretionary power to deal with the new pos
sessions as their varying interests and
ours may require. and leaving no dis
cretionary power in congress whatever.
And this is the real issue which has been
forced by the attitude of the minority in
congress. The country is starting out on
a new departure and on a new experiment.
and II is of the highest Importance, for our
own safety as well as for the welfare oe
the new peoples who have come under the
flag, that we should leave ourselves free to
deal with each case as its own merits de-
mand. The claim which insists that free
trade goes by legal right TO Porto Rico
would bind us hand and foot"

CALL FOR AID.
FiIipinos Harass Appari So strongly
That Gems. Young and Hood
Request Help.

Manila, March 10.-Gens. Young and
Hood are asking for reenforcements
and a battalion of the Forty-eighth
regiment has been sent to Aparri.
Other troops will follow. The rebels
recently persistently attacked Aparri
for several hours, but were finally
driven away. Details of the affair are
lacking. The rebels are holding re-
unions in the province of North llocos,
and the red Katipunan cross, SYM
bolic of resistance, is again appearing
among the natives. 1t is believed that
the insurgent generals, Tinio and
Flores, have been driven by Gen.
Young into Gen. Hoods territory
south of Aparri. The fact that Gen.
Young is unable, owing to lack of
troops. to maintain garrisons in all
the towns occupied has had bad ef-
feet on the natives.
The liberated priests from New
Caceres report that the insurgents
killed 6S Cinnamon and 40 Spaniards
at the town of Calabanga.
Manila. March 12.-Thousands of or
ganized Filipinos are resisting Col.
Houston's battalion at Antique, prov
ince of Panay. which is the only prov
ince which Americans do not occupy.
