BACCALAUREATE SERMONS
SENIORS OFHARVARD LISTENTO
 DIR. LYMAN ABBOTT.

Duties of Young Men Going Out Into
 the WorId-Speaker's Interpretation
 of the Future With Whose Shaping
 They Will Have Something to Do--
 pr. seeIye Delivers the Sermon to
 Smith Girls.
 Cambridge, Mass, June 17.-The cele- bration of class-day week at Harvard was ushered in this afternoons with the baccalaureate sermon by Rev. Dr. Ly- man Abbott, of New York, in Appleton chapel. At 4 o'clock the seniors, wear ing caps and gowns, marched to the chapel, and after hearing the bacca- laureate sermon sang their baccalaure- ate hymn.
 Dr. Abbott delivered q powerful ad- dress on the duties of young men who are going out into the world, saying in part:
 T want to give you my interpretation of the future with whose shaping you will have something to do. In the his tory of the world there have been three | conceptions of the social order, The i first of these is autocracy, the second indiyidualism and the third fraternal- ism.
 "In the coming age all the creeds and sects will be united, because the com ing age is to be fraternal one Every 1 age has had It's vices and its virtues l The nineteenth century has had vices | all due to the same source. The f1rs' vice has been that of accumulation; the second vice is the lawlessness of self will.
 I've hear of the criminal class. Car you tell me who belongs to the crimina class? Do the insurance directors Wht bought stocks low and sold them a high prices to the companies of Whicf they were directors? Do the railroat officials who broke the law of the lant and now stand convicted? Do the coa
 carriers who did, by a gentleman agreement, that which was against tn
 law?
 "There is one remedy for al this
 Society should be considered as a unit Do young men-do not to see how mucl
 you can accumulate, but what you cal attain. Already accumulation is ol trial.
 we have learned that the best in
 terest of the community Is not serve by each man voting for his own inter est. He must look after the nationa welfare.
 '"The age you enter has been calle socialistic, but that is false; it has bee called communistic, but that is false
 it Is fraternal. The men of the futur
 will recognize the organization of SC I ciety in the upbuilding of the com , munity, the nation and the church ( l. God"

ACCUSES UNION MINERS
GEN. GREENE FILES SERIOUS
 CHARGES AT WASHINGTON

Declares Agitators from the Western
 Federation of Miners Went Through
 the Mines at Cananea, Mex, melting
 the Mexicans--Himself Warned of
 Plot to Dynamite Bank and start
 Revolution Against President Diaz.
 Washington, June H.-In a letter filed with the state department and dated at Cananea, Sonora, Mexico. June il. w. c. Greene, president of the copper com pany at whose mines in Cananea the rioting occurred this month, charges that agitators from the Western Fed eration of Miners had been through the mines melting the Mexicans, and tells how he was warned of the plot to dy- namite the bank and to start 8 revolu- ton against President Diaz. He reveals details already published, and says, among other things:
 "On the night of May 91 l was in formed by man working in the Cobre Grande that Mexican working there had told him that trouble was going to start in Cananea on the morning of June 1 at o'clock that a socialist club had held three meetings at mid night on the night of May 30, at which a large number of agitators of social istic tendencies were present; that agi- tators of the western federation had been through the mines melting the Mexicans, and that they had been fur nishing money for the socialistic club that had been established at Cananea. He also gave us couple of copies of a revolutionary circular that had been widely distributed, together with a number of other details.
 While it looked ridiculous to me that anything of that kind could be done their programme included the dynamit- ling of the bank, where it was reported we had $1,0OOO00; breaking open the store and getting firearms and ammunl- tion. and with them starting a revolu- tion against the Diaz government. q soon after saw Mexican in whom had confidence and upon asking,
 found that he had heard the same I'll mors. he giving the further details tha agitators had stolen, few nights be fore, a few boxes of powder, which
 known to be the truth"
 Mr. Greene adds that all federation agitators were ordered out of the tow and "I think there are about eighty seven of the agitators (Mexicans) nov
 in jail;" that many of them were de ported from Mexico and southern Cali
 fornia who had previously taken par
 in labor troubles; and that all of tn
 revolutionary clubs that stirred up tn
 feeling escaped across the line the frs
 night. He says there will be
 permanent garrison of several hundre men kept there; that complaints
 murder have been made against number of employees as well as hirnse but the authorities have taken tn l ground that the employees have acte
 according to their duty.

ExoNERATES THE JEWS.
Did Not Throw Bombs at Christian Pro-
 cession at BioIysOlx.

St. Petersburg, June 17.-The pitiable affair at Bialystok apparently has burned itself out No further b!ood- shed was reported to-day, and no more is expected, even by the radicals, who are satisfied that the authorities are now in control and will do everything possible to prevent renewal of the eX- cesses. This confidence is based on the action of the governor of Grodno, who is hated and distrusted by the beau- rocrats. and who, after Investigating the situation at Bialystok, took the un- precedented step in order to prevent spread of the massacres of telegraphlng the authorities of all twns within the lewis pale, denying the alleged official reports that the disorders were due to the wanton throwing of homts at a Christian procession by lewis reyolu- tionists. This measure was aided by the Catholic clergy, who to-day throughout Russian Poland addessed their congregations, implorng them not to believe reports spread broad cast for the purpose of stirring up DlOOuY 6ACtoOCoy WlliOll CUB SAiANSeNASNtN in calming the agitated spirits among the Christian population. The Catholics of Warsaw cancelled a great religious pocession, which was to have been held to-day, in oder to avoid the chance of conflict.
 The general opinion, however, IS hourly growing more disquieting and the country seems to be on the verge of another gigantic uph h7aval. In St Petersburg and Moscow the populace Is seatIy excited and nothing is talked of except a general political strike, which would bring the government to its knees. The proletariat leaders who have been preparing for months for a hiov believe the moment has come 10 strike The agrarian troubles now are suficfentIv extended and disorders in +ha army are rife. The government has oneniv refused to aecede to the de- naands of parliament, and 8 rupture IS imminent there.
