The transport Centennial, which has arrived here, had an exciting experience while rounding Point • Eng&no on the northern coast of Luxon, on her way to this port. She struck a rock on Wednesday and remained fast for several hours, during which time she was sui rounded by swarms of natives, in canoes, who became menacing. Captain Eagle, who commanded the transport, was compelled to throw overboard a hundred tons of supplies in order to lighten the fchip sufficiently to get her afloat. Before this was effected the Filipinos had towed the cases ashore and were fighting over the

spoils.

feared to approach her.

The commissary officer .at Manila haa been Queried to know whether It is desirable to teplace tire supplies which were lost. If so, this wfil be done at once.

Prices for their products were 'generally lower, while wages for farm hands were higher than formerly. Within the past twenty-five years tarms m this section had depreciated In value about 60 per cent. The depredation in the price of products was not so great. He was inclined to attribute the lower prices to competition from the West and South. He advocated a tariff on farm products, putting them on the same basis as the manufacturers. Such a policy would result In saving to the United States about 33,000,000 or 34.000.000 now sent abroad for articles of an agricultural nature. Ralls (or Russia.

Questton of Reduction of Armaments Introduced at The Hague. The Hague, June 23.—M. DeStaal, president of the peace conference, at a meeting of the commission to-day. Introduced the Russian proposals looking to the arrest of armaments, and read a declaration disclaiming ail intention of proposing a reduction of the armaments at present, but added he was of the opinion that if a standstill could be agreed upon, a reduction would soon come of Itself. All the powers, he explained, had conferred wiUv the Czar relative to the Immense evils of armed peace, and he (M. DeStaal) now appealed to them to devote thtlr energies toward the arrest of the continual Increase In the cost of armed peace, which, he asserted, cost more than a tremendous war. Colonel Gllinsky. of the Russian delegation. moved that the powers should enter Into an understanding for a term of, say, five years, not to Increase the effectiveness of the peace Rioting of their forces, with the exception of colonial troops, and not to Increase the amount of their military budgets beyond their present figure. The speeches and the resolutions were ordered to be printed and circulated, and the discussion was adjourned until MonA naval standstill resolution will be Introduced later.

The Hague, June 23.—The peace conference sub-committee on war has declared in favor of any state using any new explosives of new inventions for ordnance. Russia and Bulgaria alone refraining from voting. The conference resolved In favor of prohibiting the use of bullets which spread or flatten out In the human body, such as explosive bullets, bullets in a hardened case which does not entirely cover the point or bullets with an incision. The British and American delegates alone voted in the negative. The use of ary new explosives in projectiles from balloons was prohibited for five years. The question of restraining the Introduction of new types of rities was deferred. Count Soltyk’s report was then taken up. It declares that the sub-committee, though unable to agree regarding the proposed abolition of naval rams, submarine torpedo-boats and the use of explosives, had declared against the use of asphyxia*--. Ing gases, w'hich the first committee also approved. Captain Mahan very pointedly asked why the employment of gases should be Interdicted while the more cruel, wholesale destruction of human life aimed at by employment of submarine torpedoboats should be pei milted. A shell charged with asphyxiating gas need not necessarily destroy human lire, he said, any more thin chloroform but might only place men hors de combat for a time, whereas a submarine boat stealthily approaching under cover of darkness might send a thousand sleeping men to a watery grave. Why forbid retail asphvxiation by air and permit wholesale asph> xiatlon by water ? A Russian delegate replied that the men might be picked up when the ship sank. Captain Mohan retorted by recalling the case of the British battleship Victoria, where, as he pointed out. In a highly disciplined fleet, in bioad daylight and smooth waters, many hundreds of men were drowned, so sudden was the catastrophe and so short the available time to pick up the men. He reminded the commission also that this happened when an immense fleet was close together and Intent on doing itn utmost to eave life. Captain Mehan’s arguments were altog*?ther logical and unassailable, but this did not prevent the commission voting

them down.

NEW FRENCH CABINET. Ministers Assume Their Duties— Diversity of Opinion.

Paris. June 23.—The new Cabinet ministers took possession of their offices today. Thii prefect of police, M. Blanc, had a long Interview with the Premier, M. Waldeck-Rousseau, during the .day, and it is asserted that he handed the latter his resignation. The Progressive Republicans have held a meeting, under the presidency of M. Mellne. Consiuerable diversity of opinion was developed. One faction decided to oppose the new Cabinet, owing to the presence of M. Millerand in the ministry. The Socialist deputies are also at variance regarding the entry of General, the Marquis de lYaJHfet, Into the Cabinet, and a portion of that partv has decided to form a new group, to be called

"Revolutionary Socialists."

The Mellne meeting appointed a committee to confer with the other group* hostile to the new Cabinet, for the pur-

pose of organizing a combine In opposition to the government. Notice has already been given of a number of inter-

pellatlons for Monday next.

ReKarded as Strong. Paris, June 23.—The new Cabinet Is a strong combination, and is wholly In favor of Dreyfus, but. since it contains such extreme men as Marquis de Galllfet and M. Millerand, It can hardly be expected to have a long career. The Socialist party has already declared that they will not in any way be bound by or responsible for M Millerand's acts as a minister. The latter, however, is a powerful debater, who will share with M. Waldeck-Rousseau the brunt of defending the Cabinet In the chamber, most of the other ministers being far less skilled In debate. The appointment of Gen. Marquis de Galllfet as Minister for War. Is an extraordinary example of the way in which the Dreyfus case has revolutionized political conditions For years past the general has been the bugaboo of the extremists, not only because of his monarchical sympathies, but on account of the rigorous manner in which he took part in repressing the Commune. His entry into the Cabinet is undoubtedly due to his attiude toward the Dreyfus case, which has been throughout favorable to Dreyfus, although he holds t»at the proclamation of the prisoner’s Innocence should not Include placing the responsibility for the apparent judicial blunders on the general staff. o HOMEOPATHIC DOCTORS.

Intermediate and final examinations and study. This was adopted. The resolution warning physicians against sending their patients to opticians. who have no medical training, was adopted. Considerable time was taken up ii the adoption of a number of amendments to the by-laws, after which the delegates paid a tribute to Dr. E. M. Kellogg, of New York, who has been treasurer for thirty-three years, and who now voluntarily relinquisher* that position. The report of the Intercollegiate committee was presented by Dr. Klppax. Among the recommendations made and adopted was one that after the present jear all medical colleges shall have a course of four years, of not less than Seven months each, instead of six months. The formal announcement of the election of officers held yesterday was made. STATE NORMAL EXERCISES

[Special to The Indianapolis News.] Terre Haute. Ind., June 23.—The exercises of the twenty-fifth annual commencor.ent of the Indiana State Normal School were held in Normal Hall this -morning. The hall was filled with students and friends of the graduates. Potted plants were placed In all parts of the hall, and the platform was decorated by evergreens. The music waa furnished by a chorus of fifteen voices selected from the normal music classes and directed by Miss Saunders. The exercises w>re opened with the chorus, "O blessed are they which love thee." The invocation was i ronounced by the Rev. Mr. Sulger, of St. Stephens's Episcop.il church. The chorus then sang "Crosairg the Bar." President Parsons, of the Normal faculty, introduced Mr. Charles R. Williams, who delivered the address of the day. The address to the graduating class was made by Charles R. Williams, of Indianapolis. His subject was “Liberal Education and Life,” and the point he sought most to emphasize was that persons “enfranchised by culture” owed It as a duty to the world to do all In their power In helping to liberalize and rationalize men's views In all branches of human endeavor. Addressing himself especially to the class, as prospective teachers, Mr. Williams said; "You, young men and young women, who have prepared yourselves 'to be teachers, let me urge you, of all others, to keep In constant touch and sympathy with the world of ideas; to maintain unyielding hold of the ideals, which, in this hour of completion and commencement, you now feel so keenly. Let not the routine of the school-room or ’the cares that Infest the day’ dampen your ardor or quench your zeal for truth. Beseech you, exalt your calling, and verily It shall exalt you. There Is no nobler work In the world than teaching. So the progress of humanity is preserved; so the accomplishment of the race Is held and made vital. Some of the greatest names of history are names of teachers A recent volume by President Eliot, of .Harvard, entitled ‘Educational Reform,’ I would commend to you. It is full of Inspiration—sane, serene, of lofty purpose. No teacher can read It without deepening love for his profession; without widening vision and exaltation. "Exalt your vocation. I repeat. The true teacher must feel a sense of consecration; must feel that his work is truly g 'calling'; feel that he is Intrusted with the molding and fashioning of Immortal souls. Unless you have something of that sentiment, something of the enthusiasm of humanity, you can not do best work; you will fall of the highest success. Bear In mind that you will only touch the fringe o? your opportunity, If you are content merely to cram children’s minds with the dry husks of fact, which the text-books present. 'Facts, facts.’ cry the Gradgrinds, 'give us only facts.’ But children and men may be stuffed with facts, and be unconscionable prigs or miserable Gradgrinds still. Education, always remember, is a training and a disciplining of the mind; it is a quickening o*‘ the spirit; It is an Inbreathing of that divine discontent which is the source of constant intellectual and spiritual growth which says always; 'Not as though I had already attained, but I follow after. "The great work of the teacher. I say, la to discipline and to inspire. How much Is possible the achievements of the great teachers show. Socrates changed the world’s currents of thought. Froebel brought sunshine and joy into the schoolrooms of the race. Arnold, of Rugby, breathed a new spirit Into English secondary education. President Garfield said his Idea of a college was Mark Hopkins at one end of a log and a yourfg man at the other. These and other great teachers, whose names are in your hearts, whose work is In your lives, set In motion echoes that , 'roll From soul to soul And grow forever and forever. "But humbler teachers, according to their power and opportunity, work similar results. You recall the schoolmaster Ian Maclaren tells us of. always on the lookout to inspire ‘a lad of parts'? Every teacher can aim to •teach high thought, and amiable word*. And love of truth, and all that makes a man.' “It Is the personal element In education that counts. As Iron sharpeneth iron, so the countenance of a man his friend. Fire kindles firj, enthusiasm for what Is best begets enthusiasm therefor. •We needs must love the highest when we sa* It; Not Lancelot, nor another.' " After! Mr. Williams's address, RoVrt Poor, or^hc graduating class, sang "The Gay Hussar." President Parsons spoke to the graduates, showing them the duty they had before them In repaying the State for the adventages it had given them. He said that they cculd repay it by making men and women who would do ciedit to it. He then presented the graduates with their certificates and diplomas.

STATEMENT GIVEN OIT BY MICHIGAN’S GOVERNOR.

Combination Formed In the Interest of the Secretary of War’s Senatorial Anplratlons.

GEN. ALGER WILL NOT RETIRE UNDER ANV CIRCUMSTANCES.

The New Combination Stands oa a Platform of Opposition to Trusts and Election of Senators by Popular Vote.

Detroit, Mich., June 23.—Governor Pingree gave out a public statement to-day to the effect that he had combined with Secretary Alger in the Interests of Alger's senatorial candidacy. General Alger will not withdraw under any circumstances, nor will he spend any money In the campaign. The platform of their campaign will include opposition to the trusts and a declaration In favor of senatorial elections by a popular vote. The alliance was made at a conference held last night, at which several of the Plngree State leaders and the general and the Governor were present. Said the Governor: "I have avoided committing myself heretofore, because I wanted opportunity'to talk with the general first. But all along. General Alger has been my personal choice for Senator; I wired him at Petoskey, asking him if I could see him in Detroit, on his way back to Washington. In reply, he arranged to meet me last evening. Of course, I can’t speak for my friends, but those I have talked with are Alger men beyond all question. They can not support Senator McMillan. They certainly can not be classed as friends of mine If they do. They can not forget eight years of political history In a day, nor can they live with the representatives of ‘judicious combinations,’ and unequal tax and pretend at the same time to be friends of equal and Just taxation and foes to trusts. "At our meeting last night, General Alger told us frankly the history of his relations with Senator McMillan Jn the matter of the senatorshlp. He has dealt with General Alger the same as he has treated everyone who questions his ownership of the Republican party. “General Alger is In the race and to stay to the end.” said the Governor, "and you can say t in the strongest English you can write, I am with him heartily, and I propose to do all I can personally and with my friends, to aid his candidacy. As General Alger put it to me, he will be a candidate If he has assurances for no more than one vote In the Legislature. Alger Is on the right side of the two greatest questions of the day. I said to him that 1 could not personally support a man who would not declare himself on the right side of those two public questions. The two questions on which 1 wanted to know his position are those of trusts and election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. “I wish to say that the general is absolutely sound on both these questions Gen. Alger believes firmly that United States Senators should be elected by direct vote of the people.” Confirmed by Alger. Chicago, June 23.—Secretary of War Alger arrived here to-day from Detroit, and confirmed the statement made by Governor Plngree, that he would stand lor election to the United States Senate. Secretary Alger declared himself opposed to trusts, and heartily In favor of the election of Senators by direct vote of the people. "I do not believe In the concentration of wealth," said the Secretary. "Monopoly forces the middlemen out of commercial existence, and the result is disastrous to the masses of people. Governor Plngree stated my position correctly, when he said that I am also opposed to the selection of United States Senators by legislative vote. Their election by direct vote will do away with much political Intriguing, and it is bound to come, although It may take years to accomplish it. "Senator Burrows will doubtless assist Senator McMillan In his campaign for re-election, but I shall enter the contest with all possible strength.” DEMOCRATS DIFFER.

Minority and Majority Reports Certain at the Kentucky Convention. Louisville, Ky., June 23.—The third day of the Democratic State convention found it still working under the temporary organization, and It was made plain early In the day that this condition would last for some time longer. The committee on credentials labored with the 357 contesteo seats on which It had to pass until long after midnight, and then left Us task unfinished. Most of the county districts were disposed of, but the seventy seats oi Jefferson county, in which the Louisville districts are located, were not taken up. Last night's committee work developed some sharp differences, and the certainty ot majority and minority reports from several of the most important committees. The majority of the committee on resolutions has drawn up a platform indorsing William J. Bryan for the presidential nomination In 1&0Q and J. C. S. Blackburn for United States Senator, making free silver again the prominent Issue, re-affirm-ing the Chicago platform In Its entirety and containing a strong anti-trust plank. The difference of opinion In the committee arose over an Indorsement of the Goebel election law, the majority favoring it. In regard to the policy to be pursued in dealing with the new possessions, the majority is conservative. The war with Spain to secure the liberty of Cuba is sustained, but the administration is con. demned for pushing the campaign in the Philippine*. The State administration u» condemned for a.lcged corrupt methods and inefficiency. Other measures recom-~ mended are legislation against the railroads, especially where there are discriminations in rates, and against any combination to secure a monopoly of school-

books.

this afternoon to await the report of the

committee on credentials.

An Important phase of the business of the credentials committee which at one time threatened to cause dissension between the parties to the Stone-G4>ebel combination was settled at a conference held after the convention took a recess. This was the probable effect of the Jefferson county, or Louisville, vote upon the chances of Stone or Goebel, whichever haouened to receive it. It seemed to be generally understood that the Weaver or city administration delegates would be seated, and the Stone followers were fearful that this bunch of seventy votes, with a leaning toward Goebel, If thrown In that direction, might give the Kenton county leader an advantage that would defeat the avowed object of the combination—the nomination of Stone for Governor. It was decided to divide the seventy votes be-

tween Stone and Goebel. This adds to the uncertainty of the contest by equalising the forces of the three aspirants. rearer's Position. Kansas City, Mo., June 23.—A Star special from Carthage, Mo., says: In an Interview here, W. A. Peffer, former United States Senator from Kanssu, d4»nled he had Joined the Republican party In these words: *T have not said for myself, nor have I authorised any other person to say for me either that I had left the Populist party or joined the Republican party. What I did say. and do now say and expect to keep saying. Is that as a factor In national politics the Populist party Is a cipher; that It Is a mere adjunct to the Democracy briefly that for all national purposes the Populln party will be swallowed In the Democratic party, and as between the Democrat and Republican parties I have always been against the Democrat*. Believing the contests of the future will be practically between the two parties. I expect to do all I can honorably to keep the Democratic party out of power In the nation." Mr. Peffer also declared himself as strongly in favor of expansion. Silver Republicans Disband. Des Moines. Ia., June 21—Chairman C. 8. Wilson, of the State central committee of the silver Republican party of Iowa, says the party will give up its organization. "We can not keep up an organisation successfully so long as we can not place a ticket on the ballot.” he said, "and the new ballot law prevents this. Most of our members will go Into the Democratic party, and our State committee has decided to hold no convention this year. The Populists have called a State convention, but I do not know whether they will place a ticket In the field or go In with the Democrats." o ■ — OBITUARY.

20.000 MORE MEN

ENLISTMENT OF MORE SOLDIERS FOR THE PHILIPPINES.

Strong: Reinforcement* for the Command of General Otis About Determined Oa.

LITTLE PROBABILITY OF A FORMAL CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.

Recruiting Officers will be In. structed to EnlUl Men for Tun Regiment* and More — Na State Organisation* to be Accepted.

New Y'ork, June 23—A special to the Herald from Washington says: President McKinley will authorize the enlistment of additional men for the Philippines when he returns to Washington. This is the understanding of well-informed War Department officials. The administration has at last come to recognize the necessity of reinforcing General Otis's command. It Is apparent that some of the department officials are figuring on the advisability of enlisting sufficient men to form ten comolet*

regiments.

Acting Secretary of War Mellfcjejohn said that If the President authorized additional men, the number would be determined after a consultation with General Otis. It would not be surprising If the department were to hear from General Otis before the return of the President, In order that the latter may be aupplied with tile necessary information to take immedi-

ate action.

"In anv event." said Mr. Melklejohn. "there Is little probability of a formal call for volunteers. State organlzatlona wth not be accepted, although there are many applications on file from them for muster in and dispatch to the Phl.lpplnes. The President will, I think, authoriae the department to direct its recruiting officers to make enlistments, and I am confident that men can be obtained In such numbers as to form complete organizations and be ready for service with General Otis during

the fall months.”

Should the President authorize th* formation of ten regiments, recruiting officers would have to obtain 15.(00 men to fih them. At least 4,000 men will be required for the three volunteer organisations which General Otis has authority to organize, making about twenty thousand of the 35,000 men of the provisional army, tbs enlistment of which'Is authorized by law.

New York Ready.

Kansas City. Mo., June 2.1.-Qovernor Roosevelt telegraphed President McKinley to-day Informing the President that in the event of a call for volunteers being made, New York was prepared to furnish all the men the Government might ask for, and asked that an opportunity be given New Y'ork State to do so. — o —- ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
