original. planned, but there were nu.
merous delays that brought the con
clusion of the exercises three hours
later than originally intended The
chief procrastinator was the commit

foreign representatives in its imme-

resentatives of the eastern nations
cannot be moved about as energetic
ally as can the present active presi-
dent OF the United States aided not a
little in retarding the exercises.
Three hundred people participated
in the breakfast to diplomats, includ-
ing the diplomatic corps, President
Cleveland, Mr.. Francis and others of
note The only bit of formality about
the occasion was Francis toast to
the diplomats, viii n evoked hearty

The weather out of doors yesterday
was IDEAL Within the liberal arts
building it was comfortably chilly and
but for the fact that the marine band
played constantly during the two
hours wait that preceded the com
mencement of the program, the au.
olence which listened to the addresses
of the foreign representatives would
have been far smaller than it was.
1t was not large at best, there being
about 1000 people in the hall, about
one-twentieth the number which
heard the president Thursday.
There was yesterday a decided
improvement in the management OF
the crowd. Yesterday there were two

The French ambassador, M. Jesse
rand, made decisive hit with his
audience yesterday and was frequent

Ojedo was cheered to the echo as he
made his address. Ex-senator John

of the day, alluded in a pleasant
manner, as he introduced the min

declaring all illfeeling against that
country had passed away and the
warm greeting that met the Spanish
minister went far to prove his words.

at the liberal arts building
opened with an invocation, after
which John M. Thurston, presi-

greeted the diplomats.
