A THREE DAYS' CELEBRATION
President Cleveland ' Delivered An
Addresa en the Datlea ad Ro
sponalbllltlae of Oar College Men.
Prlnoeton, N. J., Oct 39. The his
tory ot Prlnoeton during tbe last three
days will be a part of tbe history of the
United States. Primarily, the event
wss the oelebration of tbe university's
sesqui-oentenniaL Historically, It wat
a congress of nations, formed by tbe
bett brains of those nations. Learned
savants from tbe shores of France, re
nowned scholars from Germany, living
personifications of the oenturies of lore
embraced within tbe walls of anoient
Oxford touched elbow to elbow and
drank toasts together. Pre-eminent
among all stood tbe chief executive of
this nation, President Cleveland.
Necessarily, tbe president wat tbe
main speaker of the day, and nearly
every man it saying here tonight that
he made the oratorical effort of his life.
He spoke in Alexander hall to a multi
tude comprising representatives of
nearly every great Institution of learn
ing in the world, and men ot wmk in
all other walks of life. His theme was
"Tbe Duties and Responsibilities That
College Men and Educated Men Gener
ally Owe to tbe Cause of Good Govern
ment" Mr. Cleveland spoke without
any attempt at oratorical effect, and
with very little emphasis even, but the
points in his address were quickly
grasped by bis hearers, and he was fre
quently interrupted by hearty band
clapping and cries of "Good, Good,"
from tbe platform and body of the
bouse. On each occasion of this sort
the great orowd of students in tbe bal
cony yelled, "Cleveland I Cleveland!
Cleveland 1"
Mr. Cleveland spoke for half an
hour, and when he oonolnded, the ex
hibition of enthusiasm wat remarkable.
Cheer upon cheer wat given with
hearty good will, and as a wind-np tbe
college yell was given for Mrs Cleve
land. She occupied a chair in the
front row of the seats faoing the benches
on which the nnivertity delegates sat,
and the unexpected attention of the
students caused all eyes to turn in her
direction. All present joined in the
applause, and as Mr. Cleveland oanght
bis wife's eye he gave her an approv
ing smile, receiving one from ber in
return.
The great three day's celebration
olosed tonight with a banquet in tbe
assembly hall given to the university
delegates. There were present more
than 800 persons. Probably never in
tbe history of the country has snob a
gathering of renowned men been
seated around the same board. It was
an international assemblage, and In
cluded the most eminent eduoators of
both tidet of the Atlantic.

GOLD FROM AUSTRALIA.
Two and a Half Million. Arrived on
the Mooowal.
San Francisco, Oct. 26. Tbe steamer
Monowai, which arrived from Australia
today, bas on board about $2,600,000
worth of English sovereigns, consigned
to Assistant United States Treasurer
Berry, to be melted down and milled
into double eaglet here and stored away
in the subtreasury.
About a month ago a shipment val
ued at $1,500,000 was received here
from Australia, and at that time Assist
ant Treasurer Berry was authorized by
the treasury department at Washington
to receive tbe coin at bnllion value for
storage in the snbtreasury and to accept
additional shipments to the amount of
$6,000,000. Soon afterward ditpatohes
announoed that the second shipment
from Australia, amounting to $3,500,
000 bnllion value, bad started on its
way from Australia.
The treasure will be taken to the
mint where the gold will be tested for
weight and fineness and afterwards
either coined into $20 pieces or stored
in the subtreasury as bullion.
Tbe gold thus shipped from Australia
is plaoed to the credit of merchants
who are buying in New York and
Europe to make up the balance of trade,
which is naturally in favor of New
York at this season. A dozen years
ago this plan wat devised by Hugh
Craig and others, and by it the annual
saving in the exobange between here
and New York amounts to a large sum.
Tbe next shipment which will arrive
before the first of the year, will proba
bly be larger than either ot the two
preceding. .
INFORMATION SUFFICIENT.
Conviction of C. O. Downing of Em
besstement Suetalned.
Olympla, Wash., Oot. 26. The su
preme oourt today affirmed the lower
court's judgment in the case of State of
Washington, respondent, vs. O O.
Downing, appellant This was a oase
wherein the appellant as clerk of Spo
kane county, was convioted of em
bezzlement Counsel for Downing
urged that the information was in
sufficient to charge an offense, under
the act of 1993, making it embezzle
ment for any oounty officer to whom a
salary is paid to fail to pay to the ooun
ty treasurer all sums that shall oome
into his bands for fees and charges in
his offloe; also that the information
did not charge an offense under section
57, of the penal code. The supreme
oourt held contrary to this contention
in the case of the State vs. Isensee, the
defaulting oity treasurer of New What
oom, and concludes upon the authority
ot that oase, that no error was oommit
ted in the lower oourt in overruling
the demurrer in this oase. The excep
tions taken by the appellant to oertain
oharges of tbe lower oourt are held by
tbe supreme oourt to be untenable.
