GERMANY IS AROUSED.
Determined on Aggressive Action in China.
MINISTERS STILL UNHEARD FROM.
Two Dispatches Received at the Navy Department From Admiral Kempff Telling of the Burning of the Pekin Legations—Other Chinese War News.
BERLIN, July 3.—From well authentic reports it is possible to state that after a detailed statement by Count Von Bulow, secretary of state for foreign affairs, regarding the Chinese situation, Emperor William made up his mind to insist upon full satisfaction for the death of Baron Von Ketteler, for which purpose he resolved to send altogether armed forces approximately as large as those of the other powers chiefly interested in restoring order in China. The precise size of the forces has not yet been determined, but it is expected that they will altogether amount to a score of thousands. A considerable portion of the German fleet will be sent also. This is evidenced by orders issued last night to prepare five large new battleships for sailing. It is understood that Prince Henry of Prussia has requested the emperor to give him command of this division, but it is doubtful whether his majesty will agree to this.
The Emperor and Count Von Bulow are fully aware that constitutional difficulties render difficult the dispatching of so large a contingent, but both are agreed that it must be done. In this they are supported by the singularly unanimous attitude of the German press.
At the foreign office the situation for Germany was described as most difficult, especially since the latest news shows that serious trouble is impending in Shan Tung. The Chinese legation here is still smilingly snug.
Minister Lu Hai Houan told a representative of the press that he was extremely sorry for the bloody events in Pekin, but felt sure that the dowager empress was guiltless. From an interesting chat with him the point seems worth recording that the minister took it for granted that the powers would subdue the revolt in China and then arrange a new government.

TURN TO JAPAN.
Powers Welcome With Cordiality Her Offer to Send More Troops to China.
WASHINGTON, July 3.—Bad news came yesterday from Admiral Kempff, confirming the worst stories which have emanated from China relative to the conditions of Pekin, and a feeling of disquiet was noticeable among administration officials and diplomats. The German embassy showed particular anxiety for information respecting the sad end of Baron Von Ketteler, and in the course of the afternoon Secretary Hermann of the embassy paid a special visit to the state department to inquire. M. Thiebault, the charge of the French embassy, also called in quest of information, it was said. The visits revived rumors that an effort is afoot to reach an international agreement respecting the conduct of the forces of the powers in China. It was said at the state department that the only news was that there seemed to be an unanimous agreement on the part of the powers to welcome with the utmost cordiality Japan's offer to furnish reinforcements for the forces now operating along the Pei Ho river in the effort to reach Pekin, as Japan, alone of the powers, is prepared to throw into China whatever number of troops may be needed. The news to that effect had come to the state department from all directions, and particularly from England, Russia and France. As far as the state department is concerned it had previously accorded Japan a free hand in the matter of the number of troops to be employed in China, upon a voluntary and courteous statement of the purpose of the employment of these forces.
Secretary Root did not hesitate to enter a specific denial of some of the sensational stories which are persistently circulated every day regardless of facts. He said he had not ordered any troops to China beyond the Ninth infantry from Manila, now on the way to Taku, and possibly the Sixth cavalry about to start from San Francisco for Nagasaki. The destination of the latter would depend upon developments. He said he had not ordered the Fourth and Eighteenth regiments of infantry to China, as has been reported in some quarters, nor had he made the slightest preparation for their dispatch. Respecting the withdrawal of troops from Cuba, the secretary said he did not himself know which of the regiments would be first brought home. General Miles and General Wood were trying to settle that question, there being some difference as to whether the withdrawal should be based strictly upon the order in which the regiments had gone to Cuba or upon other considerations.
NEWS FROM KEMPFF.
Dispatch without Date Tells of Grave Situation at Pekin.
WASHINGTON, July 3.—The navy department has received the following cablegram from Admiral Kempff without date:
"CHE FOO.
"Secretary of Navy, Washington:
"A rumor from Pekin reports legations are besieged; provisions nearly exhausted; situation desperate. German minister going to Tsung-li-Yamen murdered by Chinese soldiers. American, Italian. Dutch legations burned. Twenty thousand Chinese soldiers inside; 30,000 outside Pekin; 3,000 reported bound for Tien Tsin; still fighting at Tien Tsin. Communication to Tien Tsin by rail and river insecure. KEMPFF."

New York's New Road Law.
Oneida county, N. Y., has taken prompt advantage of the Armstrong-Higbie law, an act passed at the last session of the New York legislature to facilitate the construction of good roads. Under its provisions the state pays 60 per cent of the cost of improved highways, the county 35 per cent and abutting property owners the remainder.
The Oneida county authorities, acting under this law, have begun the construction of a road of the most modern and scientific kind near the city of Utica. An interesting and novel feature of the work is the utilization on it of the labor of county prisoners. As explained by the Utica Saturday Globe, the plan followed entails no extra cost upon the local taxpayers. The latter pay their road tax in cash, and the fund thus created, added to that received from the state, enables the road commissioner having the work in charge to pay the county 25 cents a day for each of 40 prisoners, the salaries of the necessary guards and that of an engineer to run a steam roller. Trap on a limestone foundation is the material used, acid the state engineer, who has inspected the work in progress, says that when completed the road will be one of the best in the state of New York.
The opinion is expressed that, in so far at least as the locality in question is concerned, labor unions will find nothing objectionable in the plan of employing convict labor on the work, as there is little or no competition with skilled workmen, and the effect on the prisoners themselves is said to be excellent, partly through keeping them out of doors and partly in tending to decrease the number of offenders.
THE ALUMNI REUNION.
A ROYAL SEASON FOR NORMAL SCHOOL GRADUATES.
Nearly Five Hundred Registered—A Joyful Afternoon Spent in Renewing Old Friendships—Fine Program at the Alumni Exercises—Pleasant Reception Following.
This has been a red letter commencement for the Normal school, so far as the alumni have been concerned. Never before have so many of the old graduates returned and never have they all enjoyed themselves so thoroughly. It will no doubt prove to be of great assistance to the school in the future, for the strength of the school is in a large measure in its alumni. To have so many come back and find a cordial welcome awaiting them, to give them an opportunity of seeing the new school building with its enlarged facilities and improved equipment, to make the acquaintance of the present faculty, many of whom were known to the old graduates only by name—all of these things will tend to place the alumni in closer touch with the school and increase and strengthen their loyalty to it.
Indeed so delightful did it all seem to see the radiant faces of the former students as they met and greeted one another after the lapse of years, and so happy did they all appear that it was proposed that just such a general reunion as this be arranged every five years and that the alumni be urged to come back in the same way each time.
The idea of this reunion originated with Melvin. A. Rice of Brooklyn, but the credit of its success is largely due to the efforts of Miss Carrie Day Halbert of Cortland, chairman of the reunion committee. For weeks she has been untiring in her devotion to every detail. The general plan of conducting the reunion was largely hers, the meetings by classes, the arrangements for sitting by classes at the reunion last night, and other matters that made it all so pleasant and so much of a success were in great measure her work.
Yesterday afternoon was devoted to alumni reunions. Each class had a special place of reunion in the building as noted a day or two ago in these columns, and from 2 to 4 o'clock they assembled here and visited and talked and reviewed the old days and had the happiest possible time. Every class from the first in 1870 to the latest, 1900, was represented. The class of '99 had the largest representation, forty-six being present. At 6 o'clock last night over four hundred fifty graduates had registered and more names were added during the evening.
The class of '95, represented by fifteen members met at Mrs. O. A. Kinney's, 42 East Court-st., near by the Normal, and enjoyed itself to the full. Before adjournment it perfected a permanent organization.
The class of '74, represented by nine members, got upon an investigating turn of mind and determined to look up a certain box which they had placed in the ground upon the Normal campus near a tree which they had planted the spring of the graduation. Dr. S. J. Sornberger of Cortland, Dr. A. H. Brown of Auburn, Rev. F. H. Parsons of Milford got a spade, crowbar and pickax and set out to dig it up, while Mrs. E. H. Brewer, Mrs. T. H. Wickwire, Mrs. A. E. Buck, Mrs. W. B. Stoppard, Miss Ada J. Wallace and Miss Mary J. Turner gave their good advice and instruction as to where to work. They dug nearly all the afternoon and then took a recess. This morning, tired out themselves, they sent a man down there determined to have that box. He began digging at 6 o'clock and at 9 o'clock located and secured the object within about a foot of the place where they began digging yesterday. The trouble was they started in the wrong direction to dig around the tree. Had they circled the other way they would have found it in ten minutes.
The box was in a fair state of preservation, though rusted somewhat. It contained a glass can with cover tightly screwed down. When this was opened there was found a copy of the Cortland STANDARD and Journal, Wesley Hooker, editor, of July 7, 1874, containing the account of the ninth commencement. The ink was a little brown, but otherwise it was all right. There was also the class prophesy by S. Marie Stillman, the class history by Kate M. Peck, the tree oration and the class day oration, both by Arthur H. Brown, the copy of a recitation, "Bertha in the Lane," by Eda A. Ainslie; an essay, "Human Mirrors" by Miss M. L. Blakesly, and a poem on "Duty" by Frank J. Squires. There were programs of the eighth and ninth commencements on Jan. 27 and June 30, 1874, and the preliminary announcements, also a sealed letter addressed to Miss Jennie Turner, Dryden, N. Y., the contents of which is unknown.
At 4 o'clock all the classes came together for a general reunion in the school parlors and until 6 o'clock the visiting was continued.
The alumni exercises occurred in the evening in Normal hall and were of an unusually high order. The alumni were all seated by classes, each class having as many seats reserved for it as there had been names registered during the afternoon. Standards with the figures of the class upon them marked the reserved sections. Ushers showed the old students to their respective places as they came in, and it was altogether a happy idea admirably carried out. The Normal has always been known as a great match maker and the way the graduates have paired off for the completion of life's journey is a marvel to all except those who have seen it all go on. On this occasion the rule of seats was strictly observed, and husbands were separated from wives and in some cases about to be husbands from about to be wives, much to the merriment of those who understood the cases. But all enjoyed it and the reunions of the afternoon were continued here.
The program of the evening was published last night. As a preliminary Judge J. E. Eggleston, representing Mayor Holden, voiced the greeting and welcome of the city of Cortland to the alumni. Mr. W. H. Clark, chairman of the local board, extended a welcome from the board. Dr. Cheney represented the faculty in a greeting. Dr. C. O. Dewey, president of the association, responded for the alumni. Dr. Dewey was an admirable presiding officer and was in his happiest vein.
It was a cause of general regret that Dr. T. B. Stowell, principal of the Potsdam Normal school and a former teacher in the Cortland Normal, was unable to be present and take the part assigned to him, but he was detained and could not get here that night.
Miss Sarah A. Saunders of the class of '78, formerly critic in the primary department of this school, now teacher of methods in the Brockport Normal school, had an admirable paper upon Progress of Methods since 1869, the date upon which this school was opened. The methods of to-day, she said, were not a change from but an evolution of the methods of 1869, and the foundation of these methods trace back to the sixteenth century. The modern methods are based on laws of mental activity and of mental growth. Nature study, child study, life study are taking the place of the old object lessons. The dominant idea is now to fit a child for citizenship.
Prof. Thomas F. Kane, principal of the high school at New Brighton, N. Y., spoke upon the progress of educational books and text books in thirty years. He referred to the progress in pedagogical books and paid a high compliment to the Cortland Normal library upon the choice and valuable collection of these books which it has. He spoke of the admirable books of the present day on primary reading, of the word method of reading as contrasted with the old spelling method, a combination of the two being preferable to an extreme in either line. The mathematical series of text books published by Dr. David Eugene Smith, formerly of this school, now principal of Brockport, were heartily endorsed and recommended.
Mr. Arland D. Weeks, of the class of '96, and now of Cornell university had an admirably written poem, the prominent thought of which was that man is a builder of humanity, and consequently of progress.
Mrs. Mary L. Eastman of the class of '92, for a number of years a teacher in this school and now of the Jamaica Normal school, gave a characteristic talk upon progress of modes of school management and discipline since 1869. It was bright and sparkling, full of wit and wisdom. The conclusion was that the problem now is not modes of punishment but modes of preventing the necessity of punishment.
The last address of the evening was by Wallace S. S. Newton of '88, principal of school No. 20 of Brooklyn. His theme was the public school system, the hope of the nation. The reason for the failure of states in the past has always been the failure of the individual. All fail when the system is considered everything and man nothing. National welfare is the welfare of the individual; an individual must maintain himself. The question is whether the public school system is founded on a rock? As a system it must reach the individual; it must prevent crime by preventing criminals. Prisons simply try to choke out crime. That will not suffice. The public schools are the hope of the nation. Intelligent, physical and moral training determines the welfare of the individual, and this must come from the schools. If the individual is properly trained, the state will take care of itself.
The music for the evening was furnished by Valentine Brothers' harp orchestra and was excellent.
At the close of the program an adjournment was taken to the rooms below and there the faculty reception was held. It was simply a continuation of the reunion. Dr. Dewey inquired of Dr. Cheney, in memory of the old days, if he was going to ring the gongs on this gathering to tell them when it was time to go home, and the latter replied that they had expelled the gongs—and it looked as though they had, for these old friends who had not met for years were loathe to separate and they visited on and on till the midnight hour was approaching, and then adjourned to begin again to-day just where they left off last night.

Lane of Syracuse, a brother of the groom, was best man and Miss Tessie Keenan, the bride's sister, was bridesmaid. Messrs. Edward Kane and M. J. Lane were ushers. Many valuable and beautiful presents were received from the friends of this popular Cortland pair. A large delegation escorted them to the D., L. & W. train south this morning and a generous supply of rice was showered upon them. They left for New York and Philadelphia for a short stay and will then return and live on Groton-ave.
Died This Morning.
Mr. Adelbert Saxton, who lived at 34 Owego-st., died this morning at about 10 o'clock, aged 44 years. The funeral will be held from his late home Thursday at 3 P. M.

JEFFRIES UMPIRED
BUT DID NOT SPAR AND DISAPPOINTED THE LARGE CROWD.
Binghamton Was Easily Defeated—Jeffries' Arm Was In a Cast—He Had Sent Word to This Effect, but It Was Too Late—Other Games.
Yesterday was a great day at [Cortland's] athletic field in more ways than one. All the people assembled had a chance to see Champion Jeffries stalk about the base lines and make decisions there, but when it came to light that the great slugger was not going to spar, a groan of disappointment went up from the crowd, and cries of ''fake" were heard on every hand. The facts of the case are that there was no fake on the part of either Jeffries or the management of the baseball association. Jeffries was booked to come here and umpire the game of ball and to give an exhibition in sparring. At that time his arm was in a steel cast but his physician had given assurance that it could be taken out of the cast June 28. When the member was examined on this date it was found to be in a condition that would not warrant such a course. The association here was notified of this fact, but it was too late to cancel the date and advertise the change so Jeffries came and umpired and went his way. Had Jeffries been notified not to appear, it would have been impossible at that late date to have notified the people who flocked in to see the champion and they would have then thought they had been faked indeed. The baseball management did just the best they could under the circumstances. A good game of ball was seen and the champion umpired it.
Cortland's heavy hitters fell on Crabell's curves and batted like fiends. The Bingos could not find Eason, who pitched a remarkably good game. The contest was won in the first inning. Gannon came to bat and was given first on hit by pitcher. O'Brien was given a free pass on balls. A double steal was then indulged in, and both scored on Townsend's three-bagger. Eagan singled and Townsend scored. An error and a steal gave Eagan third. Coogan went out to first baseman. Nandeau singled and scored Eagan, and Dean's single advanced the right fielder to second. McCormick then plugged out a two-bagger and scored the two. Eason singled and scored McCormick. This gave every man a chance at bat in the first inning with but one out. Gannon started in again and was struck out. O'Brien put an easy fly in center garden and the side was retired after seven runs were brought in.
Score:
