Naval Battle seems Remote.


ST. Petersburg, March 25.-6 p. m.
public interest in the war
has suddenly been transferred from
the battlefield in Manchuria to the
Indian ocean by the possibility of a
great naval conflict between Admiral
Rojestvenslxy and Admiral Togo and
despite reports that scouting vessels
have already been engaged near the
island of Mauriteus, the Admiralty
declines to display any excitement.
Indeed the tranquility manifested is
quite unnatural. except on the theory
that pending the prospects of peace
negotiations Admiral Rojestvensky has
received orders to keep out Of the
way of the Japanese.
Although without direct advices the
admiralty does not credit the report
of the meeting of scouting vessels off
Mauriteus. The same thing holds
good in regard to the report of the
sinking of the Russian battleships
Sissol Veliky and Navakin, which it
is declared was probably an arrant
invention. 1t can be asserted, how
ever, that the report that Admiral
Rojestvensky is awaiting Admiral
Nebogatoff's division to strengthen his
SQUADRON is incorrect. The vessels
of Nebogatoff's division are not of the
same type of speed as Rojestvensky' S
and are only intended to train behind
as a convoy to protect the fleet of
Golfers.

OF EN- DEES
The President Hands Out
Diplomas.
And He Talks to Them in a PatriarChal
Way of the Responsibilities
That Lie to Death Before
Them.
(By the Associated Press. }

Washington, March 25.-President
Roosevelt awarded the diplomas to-
day to the class graduated from the
United States Medical school, at exer-
cises held in the hall of the National
Museum He addressed a large au-
| dience and delivered a message to
the twenty-three newly made doctors
on the responsibilities of the service
they have entered. The family doc
tor was eulogized by the President in
the opening of his remarks as one
for whom everybody encourages the
greatest intimacy and affection. The
duties of the naval doctors, the Presi-
dent said, enable them to be of advan-
tage to their "stay at home brothers
| in the opportunity they have for the
study of tropical diseases. The alb
sence of proper utensils with which
to work was mentioned by the Presi-
| dent as an inconvenience that will
often hamper them in their work.
You have a double standard of
honor to uphold, said the President,
that of doctor and an officer of the
navy"
Continuing, he said the responsible
ties that rest upon the naval doctor
admit of nothing but the hardest of
work in time of war. He said he was
mot competent to talk of their pro-
fessional duties, but that he wanted to
repeat that if war comes. it is almost
certain to find the medical profession
unprepared, and this will entail
greater trials to those at the front.
do your best if you have nothing
but a jack knife to do it with" he
admonished. He said that it would
not do to wait for proper materials as
often times only make-Shifts were at
it. He said he had seen such con-
ditions himself at San Juan, where
doctors and surgeons worked hours
over operating tables, with instru-
ments not suited to the needs, and
with eyes that told of trials and lack
of rest. 1t is such conditions that test
the mettle of the surgeon, the Presi-
dent said, and he urged each MEM
Der of the class to be prepared.
1t would be foolish to shrek at the
persons in charge Of the government
| if war should come, and the nation
not be found to be ready, continued
the President, and he asked every one
to reflect that it would be really a
lack Of forethought of the national
legislature that is to blame. He adj
ded that whatever the unpreparedness,
the doctors themselves could do much
by self preparation to make their
work tall.

Exalted Eyes Expect it
in Six Weeks.
HUM OF POURPARLERS
Preliminary Conferences Said to be
on in Paris. 1t is Understood
That the Cars Knees
Have Undergone Quite
a Change.
CBy the Associated Press


st. Petersburg, March 25.-6 p. M
The information contained in these
dispatches for over a week regarding
the change in Emperor Nicholas at
titude concerning the ACCESSIBILITY of
making a pacific proposal to Japan
is fully confirmed and in very high
quarters peace within six weeks is re-
garded as certain. The positiyeness
with which this is affirmed would indi-
cate that the government is already
in possession of information as to the
Japanese terms which indicate basis
to which Russia can agree. The exact
situation is shrouded in mystery. The
secret of what has been done ana
what is being done is zealously guard
ed The Associated Press hears, how
ever from a source close to the throne
that pourparlers are actually in prog
resS in Paris, but possibly only OF a
preliminary character, and that Cop
enhagen NAV be the scene of the first
exchanges between representatives OF
the two powers.
In this connection Importance is De-
ing attached to the visit of M DIS
volsky, Russian minister at Copenha-
gen and Baron Rosen, former Russian
minister to Japan to M. Bompard the
French ambassador to Russia on Tues
day. The parties to this conference
refuse to admit that significance is at
tached to it, In the meantime the
Foreign Office is silent.

With Accumulated Offerings of
Ten Years.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Chapel Hill, n. c., March 25.-The
senior class of the University has ia
ken action in the matter of class
gift which promises to mean great
deal for the University and to win
for the class the honor of succeeding
college generations. They decided by
a unanimous vote to postpone the pre-
sentation of the usual class gift until
the reunion of the class ten years later
to be held at the commencement in
1915.
Instead of presenting the Uni
versity with some piece of statuary,
the value OF which would be about
one hundred dollars it will give some
thing Of much greater pecuniary value
and of more practical and lasting adj
vantage. The following are the pro-
visions of the committee report which
was adopted by the class:
1st That the class gift be presented
lat the reunion held on the tenth ami
versaYy OF our graduation.
| 2nd.&> That the money for this gift
be paid by the members of the class
i in subscriptions, payable annually.
! 3rd That each member shall de-
| termine the amount of his subscrip.
| tion stad shall have the privileges OF
| increasing it at Will.
| 18th. That the subscriptions for the
present year shall amount to at leas
one hundred dollars to be paid by May
18th.
5th Ghat the annual subscription
shall bApaid to the permanent sec
lretary and treasurer of the class.

the permanent organization of the
class shall constitute to have charge
of the fund, and that the secretary
and treasurer shall be ex-officio chair
man of this committee.
7th. That this committee shall ad-
minister this fund, SO that it shall
return the largest interest compatible
with safety of investment.
The permanent officers of the class,
who were elected at the close of the
meeting, are: President, n. A. Town

dress in That City.

tages and benefits to be derived from
an issue of bonds for municipal inn
provements, demonstrating the fact
