The thoroughfare had been brilliantly decorated for the occasion, and when the presidential par ty passed up the street, the avenue was carpeted with blossoms. ~&> Carriages and committee of repre- sentative citizens were in waiting at the station and the drive to the new Amphitheater at the university, where the commencement exercises were held, was taken up immediately on the ar- rival of the president.
 AS he stepped from his carriage and made his way to the Ampitheatre, he
 was surrounded by sixteen cavalry
 men. He wore a hood and gown in conformity. with the degree of doctor of philosophy.
 The programme had been timed so that the presidential party arrived just before the conferring of degrees by Governor Pardee to the members of the graduating class.
 After the cheers had subsided the study body greeted the head of the na-
 ton with the Harvard yell. He gave approval by mods and smiles. Presi- dent Benjamin Ide Wheeler then con ferred degrees upon the 400 collegians, who sat upon the stage with cap and gown, After this the president was in- | troduced by President Wheeler, who 1 simply said:
 ''Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States

NO RESOLUTIONS ON LORENz.
No Further Discussion of His Methotss s
 at Washington Meeting.

No Further Discussion of His Methods
 at Washington Meeting.
 Washington, May 14.-Constituent so- cieties of the Congress of the American Physicians and Surgeons practically concluded their session to-day, although two or three of them, by reason of the length of their programmes, will extend their work into tomorrow.
 Much interest was manifested in the proceedings of the American Orthopedic Association, before which the discus sion of Dr. Lorenzs method of treating hip dislocation, etc., occurred yesterday. Dr. E. H. Bradford, of Boston, was ex- pected to offer resolutions thanking Dr. Lorenz for visiting the United States and demonstrating his methods. But such resolutions, it was thought, might induce criticism from members of the association who do not approve wholly of the Lorenz system. Although the association held an extended executive session just prior to adjournment to- day, pr. Bradford did not offer the res- olutions, and it was announced that no discussion of Dr. Lorenz or his methods had occurred in the meeting.
 One of the important subjects consid- cred by the association to-day was the treatment of curvature of the spine. Dr. Compton Riley, of Baltimore, read paper on the subject and then con- ducted a brief clinic, during which he demonstrated the operation of a mech 1 anical device intended to cure spinal curvature, one of his own patients be- ing the subject of the clinic.
 The society decided to hold it's meet ing next year in June at Atlantic City Officers were elected as follows: Presi- dent, Dr. Reginald H. Sayre, of New York; vice-presidents, pr. Joel F. Goldthwait, of Boston, and Dr. Gwilym G. Davis, of Philadelphia; secretary, Dr. John Ridlon, of Chicago; treasurer, Dr. E. G. Bracket, of Boston.

T can say, however, that we expect to have trouble at Bridgeport sooner or later, and we are ready for it. We have settled this difficulty here and now we're ready for the other The strike fever seems to be abroad in the land, and I presume the men at Bridgeport have caught it.

New Record on Cotton Exchange

New York, May 14.-Another new rec
 ord for the season was established in
 the cotton market to-day. In fact,
 many of the older members agreed that
 it was doubtful if any season in the en-
 tire history of the exchange compared
 with the day. The big feature was the
 price made by July in the last half hour of trading-11 cents. In the same time August sold at 10.73, May made new record of 11.42 and spot cotton was quoted at 11.60. These prices were the highest in twelve or thirteen years, and added to this the transactions were of enormous volume. At times the scene on the floor was one of the greatest ex- Ecitement. .
