HOLYOK_E__H_(_)_NOR DAY President McKinley Surprised With a. Degree. PRESENTS DIPLOMAS TO CLASS OF '99 At a. Public Reception In.t]ie After- noon Many Hundred People Greet the Nation's Chief Magistrate and Take Him by the Hand. SOUTH HADLEY, Mass, June 21.— Yesterday was what might be'appropri- ately called honor day here. Mount Hol- yoke college was honored by the presence at its commencement exercises of ‘Vil- liam McKinley, president of the United States, and in turn it honored him by conferring upori him, in the chapel of the college, the degree of doctor of civil laws. This is the first time that such a degree has ever bccnconferred upon a man by Mount Holyoke, and it came as a com- plete surprise to the president. So much of a surprise, indeed, that he was forced to deviate from the determination which he had expressed not to make an address of any kind during his eastern trip and to thank the faculty and the trustees for the honor they did him. Mount I-Iolyoke, in conferring a degree l you the president, followed closely aft- «.- Smith college at Northampton, the irustees of which, at a very late hour on .‘vlonday night, informed the president that they had voted to confer upon him the degree of LL. D. ‘ The president yesterday sent the fol- lowing acknowledgment to President See- ,leye of Smith college: . “Receive for yourselves and‘the trus- tees my high regard for the honor c0n~ ferred upon me. Mrs. McKinley joins with me. in hearty congratulations to the class of 1899.” The president gave up the entire day yeSterdz‘iy to the attendance at the grade uating exercises at Mount Holyoke. The entire party left the \Vhiting house at 9:30 on the Rockrimmon, the splendid— ly fitted up electric car on which the president has been making the short journeys, and at the station Governor Wolcott and wife, Adjutant General Dal- ton and Colonel Morgan were taken aboard. South Hadley was reached at 10 o’clock,’and the visitors immediately en~ tered the chapel, where the eieicises were to be held. The seniors followed President ycH‘i'nley and the other gen— alemen were seated on the- platform, while the ladies occupied reserved seats won the floor. There was special music by the col- lege choir, and then Rev. Dr. Judson Smith spoke on “A Plea For the Eu- manities.” He then introduced Governor 3%? Wolcott, who gave an interesting . ress. ev. Dr. Smith then announced that .the'Bi-eéident would present the diplomas to the seniors. The president descended the stairs in company with Mrs. E. S. Mead, president of the college, who in- troduced the members Of the class as they filed by and received their parch- ments. . At 3 o’clock a reception was held on a platform erected in front of the local church, at which the president shook hands with 2,400 people and then return- ed to the W'hiting house at Holyoke. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen and Lieutenant Governor Crane, who ar- rived just in time, participated in the re- ception. Governor and Mrs. W'olcott re— turned tO Boston immediately after the chapel exegjses. ' a.» The. Gratuijy ngored. ‘ SANTIAGO, Cuba, June 21.—At a meeting held at the Cuban club a resolu— tion was adopted recommending that the soldiers should accept the American gra- tuity and surrender their arms. Several politicians bbjected on the ground that it would be more dignified to surrender the arms and to refuse the money, but they were in a decided minority. In local business circles it is expected that there will be a marked improvement in busi- ness after the disbursement of the share of the fund, something over $1,000,000, which will come to this province. A na- tive diver, while getting metal from the wreck of the destroyed Spfiiish cruiser Almirante Oquendo yesterday, found a bag containing $8.000, half coin and the other half in Spanish paper money of. little. value. Yelltnv Fever Remedy Discovered. NEW YORK, June 21.—Dr. Aivah P. Dory. the health officer of the port. is much. elated over the successful results of the experiments with a serum pro- duced at his laboratory for the preven- tion 01 yellow fever. For the past 18 months Dr. lloty and his assistants have been producing this serum at the quaran- tine laboratory and have inoculated a 'number of guinea pigs previously fed with germs of yellow fever. For some time the experiments have been doubtful in their results, but for the past month 1 _...._.....———— _....... "a..- ....- AT THE HAGUE. Ten Inuuses of the Drafting Commit- ' tee’s Report Adopted. ‘ THE HAGUE, June 21.—The Brus- sels conference subcommittee of the in- ternational peace conference convened yesterday, Professor de Martens of the Russian delegation presiding. The draft- ing committee’s report was amended in regard to awarding greater protection to neutral states, defining the rights of civil populations to organize for resistance and the rights of armies as toward armed civilians.‘ Ten clauses of the report were adopted. ' The report of the subcommittee will now be presented to the conference, and it is believed that neariy all the powers will adopt the new articles as a basis Of l I‘.‘ M..- field. The Geneva convention committee held a plenary session to consider the report of its subcommittee. Captain Mahan of the American delegation again drew at4 tention to the omission of an article de- fining the exact status of wounded and shipwrecked men falling, into the sea dur- ing a battle and picked up by neutrals or by hospital ships. He also proposed three additional articles, which were re‘ ferred to the drafting committee. . The plenary conference met” to adopt these additional articles and appointed a committee to draw up a general act embodying the report of the Geneva con- vention section. This is the first definite result of the conference. Arbitration In Name Only. W’ASHINGTON, June 21.——Private advices received here from a high au- thority are to the effect that the confer- ence at The Hague probably will be re- deemed nominally from failure through an agreement on an arbitration project. that will satisfy the apparently general -demar.d on that point, but which at the same time by carefully framed safe- guards will so narrow the field of mat- ters that may or must go before the arbi~ tration tribunal as to make it little more than arbitration in name.

Author’s Thirst for Exact Knowledge on Every Point. “Kipling’s methods of absorbing de- tail are curious and interesting,” says Mr. Lyman D. Bentley, formerly with the Baldwin Locomotive company. “Some years ago, while he was visit- ing the shops at New Haven, he met a skilled mechanic named Cressy,_and immediately proceeded to pump him about engine building. Cressy did not fully appreciate the honor. that was paid him, but he was flattered by. the novelist‘s interest, and the two Went all over a. big eight-wheel express flyer .‘that was standing in the yard. Kip- ling said he had lots of books on the subject, but they didn’t, tell him the things he wished to know. What he wanted was a real engineer or builder’s idea. of the machine, and he was par- ticularly eager to learn the colloquial names of the parts. He took no notes, but about a. month later he was in New Haven again, and hunted up the me- chanic. ‘Look here, Cressy,’ he said, producing a rough sketch on a card of one of the valves of the brake-gear, ‘I wish you’d tell me again just how this thing works.’ Cressy explained, and Kipling laughed delightedly. ‘I’ve got it now!’ he exclaimed. I mention the incident because it seems to throw some light on his astonishing command of technicalities.” FUNS'TON’ on THE FILIPIN‘OS. What Independence Means in the Minds of the Followers of Aguinalao. Col. Funston, whose fighting in the Philippines has made him famous, wrote a letter home to the Topeka (Kan) Capital, before the outbreak of hostilities. In it he said some things which ought to cool down the partici— pants in the Chicago meeting which at.- tacked the president. For instance: “I am afraid that some people at home will lie-awake nights worrying about the ethics of this war, thinking that our enemy is fighting for the right, Of self—government, etc. The word ‘in- dependence,’ which these people roll over their tongues so glibly, is to them a word and not much more. “It means simply with them license to raise hell and if they got con- trol they would raise a. fine crop of it. It is true that they have a certain num- ,ber of educated leaders -— educated, however, about the same, way a. par- rot is. “They are, as a. rule, an illiterate,- semi-savage people, who are waging war not against tyranny, but againsit Anglo-SaxOn order and decency. Their whole conduct during the several months preceding the outbreak was one of insufferable arrogance and ego- tism. They were swollen up by the fact that our people made too much of them at first.
