Cleveland, June 2L The dghtti nation
al conveatton of RopuWlcan Clutw closed
today. All the week there were appre
hensions of an emfcurraaalng flgllt on the
silver question but nothing was disposed
of in all the proceeding oo quicKiy or
B3 auleit'ly as that mautter. The commit
tee on resolutions Bottled the question,
last nhrM by deciding to report that the
league had no constitutional right to
adopt resolutions and Its report to that
effect was approved; Constatutioniil lim
itations are sonultlme In the way but
in this cos the constitution was consid
ered convenient by liolh Dictions. The
gold standard men were not satisfied,
but they could inoit see any way to do
anything toetlter than adopt the FWbton
substitute as given In these dispatches
last nlgh't:
"Whlereas, Sec'tkMi 16 of fhe constitution
of the Republican League of the United
Staites tuys. This League shall not in
any .manner endeavor to influence any
national, state, county, or municipal con
venflon," the delegates of iDhe Republican
Loagne of Uhe United States, in conven
tion assembled, di here renew their al
legiance t the principles of the Repub
Houn party and pledge tiholr best effort
for the success of Uhe 'candddai&s of Uhat
party, believing that tints convention has
no indtruotlons from tbe Republicans of
the UniiUed States, or Jurisdiction under
our constitution, , to frame party plat
forms, wo hereby refer all resolutions In
reference t pubdlc questtkms to the Re.
publican nlaitlonal convention of 1896, with
entire confidence that its udtlon will re
dound to tiba prosperity ot our people
and the continued glory and advancement
of me counitry.
The sliver men are elated. They say
that if frtie silver (was not adopted noth
ing else would be, and that it indicates
chat the , Republicans concede they oun-
not get along without the Western sitaitcs,
Although lit could molt have been done
without a h(ard flfChlt on (the floor of tho
convention, the WeStcrni delegates ex
pected to have an antlHsilrer resolution
adopted over their pnotestts. They claim
to hiive reoeived more .alvantiagie than
they ever expected at the mational Re.
publican convention.
It is wefil known tNalt ttflegrams wer
received yeritwday and today from pres.
ldentlal aspirants and leudlng Republi
cans in all pants of the country, sug
gesting Idhait any action on" the silver
question would be diangierous, and these
advices no doubt did much toward hav
ing the Ihiot poker dropped1 a ix Palton
substitute.
The-local papers tried today to inter
view the dWegutes on the report of the
committee on resolutions. The free sliver
men all expressed Batistfaetion and th
ttjiu-fljirer men, a. ruiw, were nw. ex
pressing any opinion. Senator Thurston,
of Nebraska, the loader against free sil
ver, said:
The report iwos tntlrely consistent vith
thii league orgianiza.tion, but I should
have preferred a disclaimer of authority
or purpose to make la platform or commit
the party, followed by such resolutions
as would express the views of thiese as
sembled dielegiities on the political issufs.
I am in favor of Improving the financial
plank of the last Republican platform."
M. J. Dowllng, of Minnesota,' was elect
ed secretary. The sffort to divert atten
tion from silver to the tariff as an issue,
wtas continued today. The speeches In
the convention, us well as the banquet
last night, and elsewhere, were all on
that line. When the- Tippocanoe and
other local olubs, went to the depot to
nlgih't to meelt Governor MeKinley, the
Iowa band of Allison men headed tilfe
procession. There was every possible
effort to make the work of the silver
agitation end 1m a big boom tor the turlff
as the1 Issue uf the Republicans.

COMMENTS ON WILLIAM.
, iParis, June 21. The newspapers gener.
ally regard Emperor William's speech at
Hamburg tut incited by a desire tu be
agreeable, rather than expressive of his
real senitimants. The Estaffel declares
Mult It la neceosary for a realization ot
the wishes expressed by the Emperor
Chat France and Germany should be rec
onciled,' 1. e., thoJt the question of Alsace-Lorraine
be settled. The Sollel re
marks that in spite of tha pacillo tone
ot the emperor's utterances, morose per
sons remark that peaceful festivities have
sometimes preceded terrible wars.
The R&pheel, referring to the same
subject, says that Europe does not be
lieve that : peace Is the sole object ot
the opening of the canal.
According Ito. the Radical, the simplest
rrethod of assuring peues is for Germany
to surrender what she owes to war, ap
parently referring to Alsace-Lorraine.

The commencement exercises of ths
Astoria High School were held. at. the
Methodist Church, lat night and the pro
ceedings throughout wars In every wuy
worthy of tins occasion.- Their close
found three young ladies and two bright
lads face to face with the bait tie ot
life, having In the course of a few hours
turned the backs upon happy school
days and all of the perils, Joys, and trib.
. ulaUbns Inddentul to their early educa
tional careers. The building was crowded
before the beginning of the exercises with
parents, friends and .fellow students of
the graduates anil' the royal purple and
gold colore of the Hlghi School with the
blue and gold of the senior students
fluttered everywhere. A solid array of
young gentlemen held the rear portion
of the hall and were oonsldrubly in evi.
dence several tltneB during the evening.
They recognized their sehoormaBterB with
very generous applause at every oppor
tunity and had a constdenaible surplus ot
pent up enthusiasm which they let Out
promiscuously at anything in- edght, tak.
ing the staid and elderly portion of ths
audience back to thoughts of their own
school days, end helping generally to
make the entertainment pleasant and
well rounded off.
Great toslte had been displayed Im the
arrangement Ot the decorations, which
conaltfted of beautiful ferns and a pro.
fUBion of white marguerites, a comblna.
tfon that, in Its simplicity- and effective
ness, was quite- In harmony with ths
proceedings. In front of the platform,
however, "was OS much floral variety as
could be heaped up in the space allotted
lto it. It constated of from fifty to sixty
magnificent floral offerings in baskets,
ouquefts and quaint designs, gifts to the
graduates from many sincere well wish
ers. State Superintendent of Put.lo In.
struation Irwin was delighted with the
display ot flowers and suited that ait all
the commencement exercises he had late
ly attended in various parts of Oregon
he had met with nothing that approached
it In either beauty or profusion,
The anniversary exercises of the Clcer
onean Literary Society opened with a
chorus, "Come Sing the Song," by the
High Softool Choir, assisted by the Schu
bert COub and led by Mrs. H. T. Crosby.
The rendition of this Stirring song was
greeted With a great deal of applause
and WaB followed Immediately by the
delivery of the ualutatory address, pre
pared and spoken by Miss Katie Slnnott
('96). In a well modulated voice and with
a pleasing Style vf utterance this young
lady talked of "The Dawning." She told
her laudlence of Edison's wonderful life
struggles, ths lesson they taught ,and
the necesstty of beginning the earnest
work of ths world wttlh a thorough
foundation that no shock of defeat or
smaller trouble could shake or destroy.
On behalf of the society she welcomed
tire visitors, and was heartily cheered
when she eroded with an exhortation tu
her fellow pupils to leave heir "foot
prints on the sands of lime." Mr. Terry
McK'ean, the High School's popular or
ator, recited "The Clown," proving his
abOty as on elocutionist and gaining
generous applause for his clever work.
Mr. Ed'wln Hobson followed with Wely's
"TltarriM," a piano fonte solo, and an
old Itlme favorite to which he did full
Justice. Mr. Lester Busey ('97) then ap
peared and made a plea for "Culture,"
Mob muscular culture alone, which matte
man a mere animal, nor spiritual culture
that by Itsellf left him weak and varia
ble, but a unOted and well-rounded off cul
tivation of a91 the human powers com;
blned. He spoke pf IWiose "friends of cul
ture," dlllgend ami wiaitchfulneas, and
of its deadly enemy, sktfh, and with force
and vigor, showed Iris hearers how neg
lect of the educational idea had driven
thousands of young men Into the ranks
of the fin bucket brigade, the tramp,
tramp, trump of which was the death
knell of opportunity the one door
throutph which culture could be tf lined
and held. The door was open to ell.
Men and women only had to enter It,
and 'then "live for aye with Joy possess
ed." Mtes Florence TwomUy, with a few
brief worUs of congratuiaitlon presented
the Society Diplomas to the graduates,
all of the recipients b ing heartily cheer,
ed as they come forward to receive them.
A double male quartet, constating of Pro
fessor Thlelhom, end Ml ssrs. George R.
George, Barker, H. C. Thompson, C. R.
Hlgglns, Belaher, Garner, and J. T. Ross,
closed the first part with a stirring
thomis,' "Roll on, Mat1c Ocean," but
Innate modesty or something of the kind
kept the performers from responding to
n encore.
The cMmmenoetmn program " proper
was opened by Miss Nettie TurJtle, who
spoke of the study of nature and Its
teachings. tJhe showl.-d how all science
was based on the unchangeablllty ot
nature, and carried her audience bick to

OhiaCdean shepherds, who pondered on the
movements of the st'ars while watching
their flocks at night, and the attempts
of Pythagoras to pierce the hidden V II
with all the reason he could bring to
bear. Sht explained how the disagree
ments of our own scientists were bring
ing forth good results, and how the won-,
derful works about us were free to the
examination of every man, woman and
child, closing a neatly rendered and
pleasing address with Bryant's exhorta
tion to "go forth Into the open sky, and
list to mature'! teachings." Mr. George
Ohler'a oration "Night Brings out ths
Stars," was ihL-artMy appLauded and de
servedly so. Though evidently very ner
vous at first, he conquered his feelings
and soared into flights of oratory as he
talked of thle bright and wonderful heroes
thai all the evil times . of history had
never failed to produce; of King Robert
Bruce, , Cromwell, George Washington,
Lincoln and Grant, mem whoS undying
fame had been won under black crouds
of despair, and In the. midst ot ths
darkest hours their country hod ever
passed through. Miss Nellie Utzlnger
talked of "The Growth of Oregon," In
an Interesting and conversational man
ner. She carried the history of the state
down through thij years of the Astor and
Lewis expeditions, .through Whitman's
arrival in 1834, the conflict with England
for possession, the organisation of th
territory In 1H48, and the conferring of
statehood in 19, showing how tha pbp
platlon had gradually grown and how,
from dense Ignonanae in the East of Ore
gon's condition and adrvantagva, the
state had come to be known from one
end of the world to the other as a land
of plenty and promise. Mr. Carl Knut
aen followed, taking as Ms theme "Mag
netic Influences." He spoke at lengtli
on the power of music, and gave the
audience some Idea ot the wonderful
personal magnetism of Napoleon Bona,
parte, and how It gave him the hearts
of his soldiers and the love and admi
ration of millions of civilians. Hie con.
eluded what was one of tha best efforts
'of the whUe. evening with an eloquent
peroration on the magnetism of the stars
and stripes, and the devotion that, as
long as the world lasted, would be min
gled In the folds of a common piece ot
bunting the nag of Itihto United Stales.
His oration was cheered to the echo.
The High School choir and the Schubert
Club followed with "Niancy Lee," and
that popular nautical ballad was never
done better Justice to. An encore that
would not be denied brought forth "Herd
Bells," which was also heartily appaluds
ed.
. Miss Violet Bowlby, 'head of the grad
uating class, made the concluding grad.
mate oratio.1 In the form of a vailkdilotory
entitled "Woman's Work." This popular
young lady undoubtedly carried away ths
palm for platform speaking. Her words,
excellently chosen, and to the point,
wlere uttered in a most pleasing manner
and the Astorlan will publish her re
marks verbatim, at another time.
Mr, Thomas Dealy, chairman of""
