yesterday morning in the armory taxed
the capacity OF that capacious struc-
ture.
As on previous occasions the aca-
demic procession started from the his
torical library and entered the west
entrance of the gymnasium When the
official representatives of the various
institutions mounted the platform in
single file they were met by Prof. B. II.
Meyer who received their credentials
and passed them on TO the president.
AS each representative came upon the
platform and presented his credentials
Prof. j. +. A. Pyre announced his
name and the institution he represent
ed. After a musical selection by the
orchestra President Van Hise intro
duced President Daniel Colt Gilman of
the Carnegie Institution.
President Gilman's Address.
President Gilman spoke in the main
on the development of scientific knowl-
edge during the past 90 years. He
said that it was one of the most re-
markable facts of the past half centu-
~. Formerly a scientific man was
looked upon with contempt and disfa-
vor by his more practical and COM
mercial brothers. Now times have
changed, he said. so that the federal
government spends large sums OF
money i'm maintaining scientific bu-
reaus fer original research. The man
ner in which all universities and other
educational institutions enter into the
work when it is possible to be of aid,
President Gilman thinks, is another
proof of a new epoch ia educational
circles.
In closing President Gilman prophe-
sled what he thought would be the
future of the university and described
in glowing terms the manner in which
the institution impressed him upon his
first view of it.
The orchestra then rendered another
selection, the Queen of Sheba, after
which President Van Hise announced
President Richard II Jesse of the Uni
versity of Missouri as the next speak
er. President Jesse dwelt at some
length upon the intimate relations
between Missouri and Wisconsin. He
rejoiced in the fact that the state uni
versities can point to the national and
state governments as their supporters

Pin Money in a Small Town.

We lived in the country, and thought
there was no way we could make pin
money, but enc day a bright idea
struck us. 1t was to give tea on the
lawn three evenings of the week. So
many people object to cooking or
fussing over meals, especially in the
afternoons, and nearly everybody was
glad to pay twenty-five cents for their
tea. We used to set small tables un-
der the trees, and just serve a simple
tea, such as salads. berries, thin bread
and butter and cake, tea, cocoa and
lemonade, also icecream. This took
only an hour or so every day, and it
paved splendidly.-HOme Companion.

rather than individuals. They are
more independent, less jealous and
can rejoice in the victories of their
sister universities. He also looks up
on the state agricultural work as
strcng feature in educational work and
especially so when united with the
university in Missouri and Wisconsin.
President Benjamin l. Wheeler of
the University of California was next
introduced. He expressed the love
California had for Wisconsin on az
count of their similar ideals and work.
were to make men strong to resist and
aggressive TO do, without whom no
state can exist He believed that the
state agricultural departments are
pointing the way to the state universe
ties in that they must become schools
of investigation. To find out a thing
for oneself is worth a hundred times
more than learning something which
somebody else has discovered.
President Cyrus Northrop of the
university of Minnesota, who was the
next speaker, referred to the fact that
recent movements in educational cir
Giles have been toward the ideal of the
state university. The eastern colleges
are coming more and more to recog-
nize this fact. he said. The state uni
versities have an advantage in that
they are not competitors in any line of
work and give a more liberal educa-
ton. Education which 30 years ago
might have Leen regarded as a luxury
Is today a necessity to the individual
and the state.
The audience was then entertained
by Mozart's Minuet from the sympho-
ny in E Flat, rendered by the orches-
ira. The last speaker introduced by
President Van Hise was President
James b. Angel of the university of
Michigan, who also delivered an ap-
propriate address which was equally
well received.
The cardinal was the predominatins
color in the decorative scheme The
candelabra had filigree shades of
fringed silk through which the light
shone softly. Sheaves of white ano
red peonies placed at intervals on the
long tables and smilax on the napery
were effective floral decorations. The
table at which the official guests were
seated was set across the armory in
front of the platform and facing the
tables. 1t was banked with palms,
ferns and smilaX.
Promenade Concert.
While the banquet was in progress
several thousand people were enjoying
the promenade concert by TIE VS.
consin State band on the upper camp
us. The program was in charge of
Prof. Charles Nitschke, Sr., and was
rendered in such a faultless manner
as TO win enthusiastic plaudits from
the large assemblage. The campus
was brilliantly Illuminated and the
scene presented was one of rare beau

St. Petersburg Expects Big News.
st. Petersburg, June 9.-One of the
most prominent officials in the war Of
fee told the correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press yesterday afternoon
that important news from the front
was expected within three days. The
crews of the Baltic fleet have been
completed. Eight thousand men and
officers of the naval reserves have
been taken from six provinces.
Rumors of Naval Battle.
London, June "a dispatch to
Reuters Telegram company from st.
Peter burg transmits the following
from Liaoyang:
"The japanese. June 8, according to
Chinese reports. made several sus-
tanned and stubborn attacks on Port
Arthur simultaneously by land and
sea. They were repulsed with severe
loss. The position of the Japanese
in Kwangtung is said TO be precari-
Gus. There are rumors from the
same sources to the effect that the
VladivostOk squadron has effected
junction with the Port Arthur fleet,
that a naval battle took place and that
the Japanese lost four large ships"
Significant Cable Silence.
London, June 9.-The sudden inter
ruption of the cable between COrea
and Japan is considered as significant
of the imminence of important opera
tons at Port Arthur, the japanese
having taken the precautiOn, as Tsu-
al. to cut the only means of communi-
cation with the outside world and thus
enable her naval and military forces
to work with absolute secrecy. No
attention is paid in London to TumOrs
that the storming of the fortress mas
already begun, because il is known
that at the battle of Kinchau General
Oku had exhausted his ammunition
and an insufficient period has elapsed
during which stores of ammunition
could be renewed and siege guns
brought into position. 1t is consid-
cred likely that Admiral Togo is not
averse to Port Arthur wasting ammu-
milton in constant encounters with the
gunboats. This may explain the
rumored bombardments, while firing
on the land side may be due to prelim-
mary operations having for their pur-
pose the driving in of the Russian
forces.
