InterestlnE and Kr Joy able Progr?i? Rendered?Diplomas Presented Members of the Uraduattn Packed from pit to dome with thj youth and beauty of Roanoke sod-sty', the Academy of Music last night pre! sented a handsome appearance Ever] seat In the house was occupied and the aisles were filled with Interested spec-1 tators who stood throughout the whole evening without complaining In order that thoy might enjoy the excellent pro gramme that was heilig rendered. Never has a lnrgur or more brilliant audience gathered In the city of Roanoke and their presence told more forcibly than words oould do of tho grest popularity of tho National Business College, an in? stitution of learning that has a most en? viable reputation and one to whichl^s*' adding daily. [ Tho second annual commencement exorcises of this college wero h;?ld last night and those who attended enjoyed a rare treat. Those who stayed away missed seeing one of tfco best college commencements ever held in this city. Much credit is duo Manager Hooper, of the Academy, for the excellent manner In which tho vast audience wa- haudled, and praise in alfio due Prof. C. Ivloworth Eckerlo, president of the collcrro, for the successful manner In which ovory? thing passed off. The stcge was deco? rated with the college colors and the boxes wero occupied by members of the graduating class. Tho exercises began promptly at. S:30 o'clock. After a short address by Pres? ident Eckerle, Rev. R. C Anderson, Jr., pastor of tho Second Presbyterian Church, offered prayer. The salutatory was then dellvared by Mlt-a Cardwell. Sae spoke of tho responsibilities which rest upon tho people of to day who are about to enter upon the sturn realities of life. Tho prosperity of our country depends upon their exertions. Thoy will becomo its bone and sinew and she warned her olass ma'cs to ever bear this fact In mind. Miss Cardwell was followed by Messrs. Eberhardt and Thatcher, members of the Mabel Paige Opera Company, who rendered a banjo and mandolin duet in such a charming manner that they wore foroed to respond to an encore. The third number on the programme web an oration, "Royal Road to Success," de? livered by Miss Batcher. The young lady showed that she was fully capable of handling this Bubjecl, and treated It in a masterly manner. Perseverance, patience, concentration of mind, are all necessary adjuncts to a successful life. She referred to Calhoun and Qarfleld aa examples of what theso traits will ac? c jmplleh. Miss Farley followed with an assay on the "Woman of To day." The tpeaker demonstrated that woman's sphere Is destined to be enlarged. Her mind and soul calls for more activity, and she is no longer content to be a drone, but a help-meet to man in the fullest extent. Lanier Gray's vocal solo, "For All Eternity," wss rendered in this gentleman's moat happy stylo. His accompanist was Mrs. Ludwig. "Rem? iniscences of the Class of 1895." To Miss Eula Cardwell was given the task of handling this subject, and right wall did she acquit herself. She spoke of the sweet recollections of college life and many conflicting emotions they brought. The oration on "Self Reliance," by Miss Larkin. was one of the gems of the evening. The fair speaker referred to the lives of General Grant and Alex? ander Hamilton as showing what could be accomplished by this trait. The men and women of to-day should de pend upon themselves. The best way to get help in this world 18 to help yourself. What the country needs is more leaders and less followers. Mlaa Cassel delivered the class prophecy and she painted in rosy colors the future lives of her classmates. The second part of the program waB opened with a violin solo from the Chimes of Normandy by W. C. Hunter, who was accompanied on the piano by Mr. W. C. Buddo. This was greatly enjoyed by the audience, who demanded an encore,"but the strings on his violin breaking prevented Mr. Hunter from complying. Mr. Mitchell's (reading of Sam'a Letter, in which he impersonated a dude, was very enjoyable and gained much applause. The valedictory was delivered by Mr. Flory, who took aa his subject 'The Evidences of Hod." The speaker acquitted himself nobly and his recital of the many wondrous works of God should have carried conviction to the heart of the moat hardened skeptic. Mrs. James E Porter followed with the vocal solo, Waltz Aria. Mrs. Porter is too well known to the Roanoke public and her reputation as a singer ia too well established to need any further commendation. Her work last night was fully up to her standard. Mrs. Ludwig accompanied her moat accepts ably on the piano. Prof. W. W. Now comer, musical director of the Mabel Palsre Company, rendered "Annie Laurie" with variations on tho piano so well that he was called back, when he gavo "Liberty Bell" as an encore. A most interesting address was do'.ivered by Rev. Mr. Andorson. He took for hia topic the success of life, and classed the essential points of success under five heads, as follows: A clear and well defined idea of what you want to do; to know how to do it; timely action; put energy into whatever you do; you must have principle to guide the work. At tho canclusion of Mr. Anderson's remarks Mr. Thatcher, by special re? quest, rendered a mandolin solo, after which the diplomas were distributed by Professor Eokerle in a tew well chosen OKE, VA., SATURDAY words. The exercises closed with the benediction, pronounced by Mr. ?nder? et The following aro the graduates: II. Archer Mitchell, commercial. Shorthand?Anna M. Cardwell, I. L. Flory, Emma M.

AugUBt 9 ?No Official advices have reached the State Depart? ment concerning the reported destruc jn of American missionary property at inhok, China. It is believoi at the State Department that the place re? ferred to is Identical with Sulhing, where troubles were reported two days ago and this second dispatch really re? lates to the same Incident, Acting Secretary Mc Adoo has received telegram from NaBhvillo, slguod jointly by the Southern Methodist and Presbyterian missionary society officials, confirming the report of the outrageous character of the Kusheng massacre, and urging the State Department to protect the American missions in China. Mr. Mc Adoo has responded by tele? graph that United States Minister Denby had alroady taken the most vigorous measures to secure the safety of Americans, and that renewed Instruc? tions to that end bad already been cablod to the minister. A high official of the navy to-day, commenting on the criticisms that have been made because American gunboats have done nothing to protect the missionaries in China, said that the situation 1b not understood by those erltiSB. The places whore the rloto havo oc? curred aro many hundred miles Inland, where it 1b impossible for ships to go. Uo also believed that it would be use? less to attempt to send c force from the ships by land, and drew as a comparison a supposed riot in Utah, where British subjects wero killed, and said it would bo as reasonable to expect British war ships to reach Salt Lake, or to send an armed forco from New York as to ex? pect tho United States to roach the In? terior points in China by gunboats or by a land force. BCGAR BOONTt (JIESTION. Senator Caft'ory Raises Four Points for the Controller to Consider. Washington, August o ?Senator Calfery took the floor when tho sugar bounty hearing was resumed to-day. He began by eliciting from Mr. Bowler, a brief statement of his position, which that gentleman based principally on the belief that the law was unconstitu? tional. Mr. Caifary thon laid down tho follow? ing propositions as containing in briof the points that he would attempt to make: 1. That th9 judiciary power lodges by express constitutional grant in the ju? dicial department and that alone. 2. If any judicial function lodges in any other department it must be by ex? press constitutional grant, and if it lodgeB in the executive department at all It mtiBt be in its chief alone and not in his subordinates. 3. Conceding for argument's sake that the bounty law is not constitutional it is not so clearly so as to warrant the In? terpretation that it is unconstitutional, even from a court, much less from a ministerial officer. It is not prlma facie unconstitutional. 4. Even conceding the unconstitu? tionally of the law the power Hob In Congress to appropriate money, espec? ially whore it is appropriated .'for the purpose of repairing wrong or injury in? flicted by Congress itself. He then proceeded to elaborate these points in an argument devoted almost exclusively to the constitutionality of the bounty law, and consumed the en? tire day with his argument. Ab a con? sequence the conclusion of the hearing was postponed till to morrow. THE NEW YORK HOKKOK. Bix liodle* Taken Out of the Wrecked Building and Ten Persons Missing. New York, August 9.?The work of clearing away the wreckage of the col? lapsed eight story building at West Broadway and West Third street was continued all of last night and to-day. During the day throe bodies were re? covered. The work la slow, for every pound of the great pile had to be turned over. Contractor Galllgan said that it will bo several days before all the wreckage can be turned over. Than there are many bodies beneath the ruins there is no doubt.

Hon- Japan and the United States Came Nearly to War Recently Washington, August 9 ?In the event of war botween Russia and Japan, the United States may find itself an un? willing party unless the Japanese re? treat from a position whloh they as? sumed towards the United States during the progress of the last war with China, it la not generally known that just be? fore the declaration of the armistice which preoeded the signature of the treaty of peace, an Issue had grown up between the United States and Japan that threatoned to load to actual hostili? ties between the two countries, and that a hostile clash was perhaps only averted by the conclusion of the Chinese war. This issue arose through 'he asser? tion of the Japanese authorities of the rlsrhl of search of American vessels. They insisted that they had the rieht to board an American vsssel and, If they chose, to take from her any Chinese or any enemy they might find, even though they were but passengers. Min? ister Dun very promptly denied the ex? istence of any such right on the part of a combatant and a hot correspondence ensued. The Japanese insisted on their rights and even when Mr. Dun reminded thorn that the United States had gono to war with Great Britain on just this lssuo and had fcroed the abandonmont cf any claim to such a fight, they refused to abate their pretensions one jot, though the minister intimated that the first assertion of such a right would bo re? garded by the United Statos as an un frlondly act, and, therefore, likely to load to war. The matter progressed to that peril? ous state when Admiral Carpenter was about to escort an American merchant steamship out of a Japanose port, to prevent her detention by the Japanese, the latter it is said gave orders to the shore batteries at the mouth of the harbor to fire upon tho American vessels if they attempted to do so. This fact came out aftor the conclu? sion of the armistlco, which fortunately ocourred at just this point In the ne? gotiations, thereby preventing an in? cident that would certainly have led to war, but the significant point is, that since that time, tho Japanese have Bteadily clung to the same contention, promising serious trouble In tho event of another war In tho East. THE BUSINESS SITUATION. | Kemurknblo Increase In Manufactures, Especially of Iron und Steel. Nkw York, AnguBt 9.?Bradstreet'a to-morrow will say: Tho features of tho business week are oontlnued with remarkable strength for a demand, in? crease in the production of and the ad? vance in prices of ateol and lrom. Strik? ing as was the demand for an Increase In the price of wheat, leather, cotton and other staples for a month or two following March 1 last, no rebounds Blnce the depression of 1894 has been Btronger or more surprising than that in iron and steel. Of tho tame nature is the evidence of improved business conditions shown by tho activity in almost all manufacturing lines. More particularly, of course, those in which iron and steel are em? ployed. Tho center of commercial ac? tivity at the West follows a lino drawn from St. Louis through Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis with an improving de? mand also shown along the Ohio river valloy. Wholesalers at Chicago and St. Louis report receipt of good ordors for dress gools, hatB, caps, clothing and shoos, to a largo degree, tho result of poracnal se? lection by interior merchants. Mure of llolinea' Villainies. Chicago, August 9.?Tho pick of a workman in Holmes' castle uncovered a strange construction last night which carries a more terrible suggestion of tho conspirators' work. In the closet room on the second Uoor where Holmes used to sleep there Is a gas pipe running over the floor. Where the pieces meet in tho wall they turn down into tho floor, and beneath the boards Is a cut off. The pipe runs directly to the window less room where it is believed Mrs. Connor was murdered. Tho cut-off is bolieved to be one of Holmes instru? ments of death. Sitting In bis rocm bo could turn on tho current that would fill the dark sleeping apartment with deadly gas, asphyxiating the occupants. The cut-eff was a secret; It was reached simply by lifting a board In the closet. Sale of a Railroad Ordered. Charleston, s.

T. Dinkins, at Brandon, Mississippi. He Wm Standing at tbe Depot When T. n. ninrehall,a Prominent Lawyer, Came Dp, and Placing a Pistol on His Stom? ach, Fired?Two of Harahall's Friends Complete the Bloody Work. Jackson, Miss., August 9 ?A special to the Associated Press from Brandon, Miss., fifteen miles east of here, {rives the particulars of a sensational shooting; affray which took place there at 9 o'clock this morning in which T. B. Marshall, a prominent lawyer and member of the State legislature from Vicksburg, and two of his friends shot and killed r. T. Dlnklns, agent of the Austin Road Machine Company. While standing cn the platform of the depot Dlnkins was approached by Marshall and his two companions, H. H. Coleman and O. P. Fox, of VickB burg. Marshall walked up to Dlnkins and said: "This is Mr. Dinkins." and placing a pistol at Dlnkins Btomach dis? charged the weapon. Dlnkins grabbed the pistol just as i: was fired and possi? bly the first shot did not take effect. As Dinkins backed away from Marshall there was a fusllade of shots from Marshall's companions and Dlnkins fell dead. It is thought Dlnklns fired Marshall's pistol at the latter, as it was found in his hand when dead. Marshall, Cole man, Fox and Marshall's partner, Mr. Vailens, mot in the waiting room of the depot as soon as the bloody work had been completed and announced they were ready to surrender and Sheriff Dobson was called for. The excuse of the killing is the sensational story told on Marshall by Dlnkins. Two weeks ago Dinkins and Marshall occupied the samo roem, but different beds, at a hotel in Raymond, and next morning Dinkins told of what had transpired during the night, stating that Marshall was guilty of a crime similar to the one for which Oscar Wilde Is now serving a term in the England prison. When tho story came to tho ears of Marshall ho denounced it as a lie through tho pross. Dlnkins, however, maintained that the story was true. Marshall was the Democratic nominee for Senator from Warren and Hinds counties Tho killing is strongly con? demned by the people ltnllroHd Disunite?.
