Culmination of the Trouble Over Prof. Tompkins1 Removal. A sensational climax in the Indiana State Normal controversy at Terre Haute between the board of trustees and the faculty on one side and theli000 students sustaining PbcC Tompkins, the deposed professor, on the other, was reached, Thursday, and there was much excitement as a result. At 4:30 o'clock tho full board of trustees who went to attond the commencement exercises, Friday, submitted a statement in the nature of an ultimatum to the entire graduating class of sixty-nine students, demanding that they return it signed before 6 o'clock, disavowing both individually and collectively the recent attacks on tho trustees and faculty in the matter of Prof. Tompkins' removal. The entire class of men and women refused to sign the statement, and at once packed up their tooks and effects and left the building, not one of them remaining. The students who sympathize with the graduates did the same thing, and soon the building was emptied of all except the trustees and President Parsons. The greatest excitement prevailed. Many graduates and students crowded to the railroad offices, purchased tickets and left for their homes in various parts of the State on the first train. Eighty-four counties of Indiana are represented in the school. President Parsons declined to give out the ultimatum sent to the graduating class. Gov. Matthews arrived on Friday and tried to pacify the students, but was not successful. The commencement exercises were declared off, and the names of those who were to graduate were stricken from the rolls. The feeling among the students against President Parsons is intense. .

Two ministers officiated at the funeral service, and a large number of friends attended the burial. She left two little daughters, twelve and ten years old. STATE MILITIA ENCAMPMENT.

Terre Haute 'Will Get It Offer or Roby "Sportft" Ignored.

the

The State military encampment will be held at Terre Haute from July 21 to 27. The offer of citizens of that place was accepted by Adjutant-General Robbins, and he will reco:nmend to the Governor that the encampment be ordered to be held there. The offer includes grounds for the camp and all the horses needed, wood, straw, and rifle range free to the State. This is not in the nature of a bonus, but is merely to reimburse the State for tho extra expense incurred by reason of taking the camp so far away from the heart of the State. The trip to Terre Haute will make a difference of about $2,000 in tho railroad cost of mobilizing the troops, which number about 2,000. Gen. Robbins says that the report that he intended or desired to hold the encampment at Roby is utterly without foundation, and he shows papers in proof in connection with correspondence with citizens of Terre Haute. He asked that city to furnish all thai its citizens have agreed to do, aud $1,000 in money besides, but the best offer made was feoo. Inasmuch as there was no acceptable competition, there was no alternative except to select the Terro Haute offer. Governor Matthews said that he had the sole authority in selecting the place, and that no proposition to use the grounds of the Roby race track would be considered. His impression had been that there was a desire on the part of some of the of ficers and men to hold the encampment near Hammond and keep up the camp about ten days, so the boys could take two days at the World's Fair, the State, of course, not paying for these days as service in its behalf. The almost lifo-sizo portrait of himself with which the Prince of Wales answered Adelina Patti's note of congratulation on his son's approfU'hin marriage occupies the post of honor in the singer's blue and silver brocaded salon.

THE EXTRA

Proclamation by the President Calling Congress Together. Th National Legislature Will Mct August 7 to Consider thm Ftuanclal Situation, The following proclamation was issued at 0 o'clock Friday evening: "Executive Mansion, 'Washington, D. C, June 30, 1893. "Whereas, The distrust and approhonslon concerning the financial situation which pervades all business circles have already caused groat loss and damage to our people and threaten to cripple our merchant?, stop the wheels of manufacture, bring distress and privation to our fartners, and withhold from our workingmen the wage of labor. "And whereas, The perilous condition is largely the result of a financial policy which the Executive branch of the Government finds embodied in unwise laws which must be executued until repealed by Cougress; "Now, thereforo I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, in performance of a constitutional duty, do, by this proclamation, declare that an extraordinary occasion requires the convening of both houses of the Congress of tho United States at the Capitol in the city of Washington on the 7th day of August next, at 12 o'clock, noon, to the end that people may be relieved throiurh legislation from present and impending danger and distress. All those entitled to act as members of the Fifty-third Congress are recuired to take notice of this proclamation and attend at the time aad. place above stated. 'Given under my hand and the seal of the United States, at the city of Washington, on the 30thday of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and seventeenth. "Grover Ci.evela.nd." The President left Washington for Buzzard's Bay, Friday evening. He will be absent three weeks. The determination to call an extra session of Congress the first week in August was only reached at Friday morning's session of the Cabinet It is believed in Washington that the action of tho British government in suspending silver coinage in India brought matters to a crisis and induced the President to alter his determination, heretofore expressed, not to convene tho extra session before September. The proclamation vts a surprise in New York financial circles, but the effect on the business situation, it is believed, will be salutary. SO. NOW, BOSS. Now it is a cow race from Tyler, Texas, to the World's Fair. Each cow is to pull a fig, and a purse of 15,000 has been offered for the winner. The Georgia wateroielou will soon begin to supercede the Georgia office-seeker as an object cf popular attention. THE MARKETS. July 6. 1833. Indianapolis. GRAIN AND HAT.

Shortly after 10 o'clock Mayor Harrison and the city officials and Common Council of Chicago entered the grounds in carriages, led by the Second Regiment of the Illinois National Guard. Inside the gate a large crowd of exhibitors was drawn up in double column under the command of Major Pangborn as chief marshal. Director-General George R. Davis opened the ceremonies in a few words appropriate to the day, and the Rev. John Henry Barrows, of Chicago, followed in prayer. Fully 150,000 people greeted Vice-President Stevenson, who was to make the principal address, with great applause. Mr. Stevenson spoke as follows: 1 am confident that at no tine or place have hunn'.n eyes beheld a grander assemblage. This is America's day. But this, our day, comes unheralded by edict or proclamat ion. For more than one hundred years it has been the day cf days of Americathe day wo do honor to the memory of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. These ceremonies, this coming together of the people, note the anniversary of the birth of the Republic. Prophet as well as patriot John Adams claimed: "We shall make ibis a glorious, an immortal day. Our children will celebrate it with roar of cannon, with martial music, with songs of thanksgiving and with souls of joy." All of thfs multiplied our eyes now behold. One hundred and seventeen years from the hour this declaration was signed, upon the southern border of the great cuin of lakes, midway between the oceans, a city has sprung into life containing a population but little less than that of all the American btates at the time the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed! I congratulate you.my coantrymen,on this auspicious celebration ofjthe fourth day of July, upon the glories of the past and upon what yet remains sure for us and for our children. Self-government is no longer an experiment. It has safely passed the crucial test of more than 103 years of trial. Our republic is vhole as the marble, founded as the rock, as broad and general as the casing. Speeches were also made by Mayor Harrison, Hon, Hampton L. Carson, of Philadelphia, and other distinguished orators. The great buildings were profusely decorated and the day and celebration was notable and remarkable in all respects.
