time has now arrived when congress
must decide whether the lights, substan-
tially everywhere else treated as high
crimes, shall continue to go on at the
military reservation at West Point.
"it in of course, Impossible to deter-
mine just what has been the effect of
this long course of cruel and annoying
treatment upon fourth-classmen. \ve d )
know that several, notably, Cadets Mac
Arthur, iJreth and Burton, were hi /;cd
i,nto convulsions; that many more, in-
cluding <'adets JIascall, Kensel, McOln-
nls and IV gram, were hazed u n "il they
fainted. Cadet Van Natta and perhaps
others have bee nhazeil until sick.
Cadets Booze and Brcth were both
treated with g rent severity and were
never well afte rthey left the academy
and each died In his young manhood,
before the graduation of his class, but
we cannot affirmatively find that their
death was caused by their treatment."
Taking up the Booze case the commit-
tee states that his conduct at the acud-
emy was strictly correct, although under
the offensive class despotism it was
viewed as a merited chastisement. The
circumstances of his being called out.
his tight and the n y stem of anoyance
practiced 011 him are minutely stated.
The committee add:
"When injuries in the fight, disturb-
ances in the stomach, mortification of
feelings and other superadded ordeals to
the severe but proper duties of a cadet
created the depression in Booze, and
without these unlayful exactions, ho
could have stu dleu and gained in
strength and vigor, are also p roblems
beyond human knowledge to determine.
And the like comment must be made
respecting the case of John Edward
Breth."
The committee say that on the whole
a man's religious opinions are highly
respected at the academy. In one case
a cadet was called a "damned Jew" but
this was an isolated case. Two Hebrews
now at the academy teslfled that they
had never been mistreated 011 account

WASH1NTQON. FEB. 9.—Senator
Jones from the committee on Indian
affairs has favorably reported the bill
which passed the house last week put-
ting in force in the Indian Territory
:ertain provisions of laws of Arkan-
sas relating to corporations, and mak-
ing' said provisions applicable to th-
territory. In his report upon the bill
Senator Jones says:
"The law of Arkansas, which Js^ut

companying bill, provided for the cre-
ation of corporations for manufac-
turing and other lawful business; for
the incorporation of navigation com-
panies, institution of learning, bureaus
of immigration and corporation for be-
nevolent purposes, fair associations ll-
brury companies schools. colleges,
medical, mechanical and other associ-
ations, etc. The sections put in force
in the territory contain the usual pro-
visions for the creation of corpora-
tions. for the apointment of directors
and other officers. The provisions are
well guarded, so as to secure stock-
holders and protect the community
from irresponsible associations. In
case the directors shall aeclare or pay

LONDON, FEB. 9.—From the British
standpoint Queen Victoria s death ap-
pears to have Strengthened, rather than
weakened, Great Britain's position among
the nations. A sufficient time has elat-
ed since Victoria ceased to reign for the
foreign office to feel the political pulse nf
the capitals of Europe and the brief ex-
amination, commenced in no spirit of
cocksureness, resulted In. a feeling of
satisfaction and security ' at Downing
street.
The foremost factor in this, naturally,
is Emperor William's attitude. Respon-
sible officials here make no attempt to
conceal their elation at the circumstances
attendant on his majesty's visit. They do
not shut their eyes to the dissatisfaction
the emperor has caused among certain
sections of his subjects, but rely implicit-
ly on the imperious force of Germany's
ruler to successfully overcome the inter-
national oppression engendered. Closer re-
lations undoubtedly now exist between
Great Britain and Germany. Lord Salis-
bury and Lord Lnnsdowne are quite pre- j Mr.
THE SENATE.
THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION' BILL
<'OMPLETED—ARMOR PLATE.
WASHINGTON, FEB. 0.- During al-
most the entire session of the senate to-
day the senate hnd under consideration
the naval appropriation bill. Practical-
ly the bill was completed when it was
laid aside for the day, all of the com-
mittee amendments being adopted, but
as thu measure was about to be placed
011 its passage, Mr. Butler precipitated
a discussion of the armor plate ques-
tion. in order to enable some others to
speak upon the matter the bill was laid
aside until Monday.
The senate committees amendment to
continue the six years curse and not
to graduate the three high classes at
the academy at this time was agreed to,
40 to 1_.
The agricultural appropriation bill was
reported by Mr. Proctor. He gave notice
that he would call it up next Tuesday.
Amendments authorizing the president
to fill vacancies In the grade of ensign
by appointment from among boatswains,
gunners or warrant maehinsts, not ex-
ceeding six In any one year, and to ap-
point to the naval academy not exchid-
ing three of the acting cadets who serv-
ed with credit (luring the Spanish war
were adopted.
Air. Butler called attention to the par-
agraph In the bill appropriating $4,t)00.-
Ouo to pay for armor plate already con-
contracted for it ygbuld carry for tha*
entire sum necessary to pay for armor
contracted for ti would • irry for that
purpose, he said, $ll ,5t 4,6.">u. lie declared
that the senate was precluded from con-
sidering the matter now because con-
gress bad authorised the secretary of the
navy to pay for armor whatever the
armor trust could hold him up for.
Mr. Butler declared that by the spec-
ial arrangement the government was
making a clear donation of $6,000,000 to

"There is no law In force in Indian

this fact, many corporations organized
under the laws of the states are doing 1
business in the Indian Territory, many j
of which are entirely Irresponsible. By
reason of the impossibility of organic- i
irtg local corporations for the trunstc- !
tion of private business, many enter- j
prises which would otherwise b«- car- ;
rled 011 cannot be undertaken."
The committee earnestly recommends 1
the passage of the bill
pared to hear Count Von Buelow, the im-
perial chancellor satrically belittle the ef-
fect of Emperor William's visit, but In
Downing street this wilf be taken as
meant purely for home consumption, and
as merely more evidence of the skillful
hand of the emperor.
The only feature of the recent inter-
national happenings regretted at Downing
street is the emperor's decoration of Field
Marshal Lord Roberts with the order of
theBlack Eagle. It Is thought his maj-
esty went almost too far, In view of the
hostile comment the German press is in
the habit of showering on Great Britian
South African campaign. "Still," says
the officials. "Emperor William never
does things by halves."
Neither in China, nor in other parts of
the world do Russia and France, in the
foreign officer's views, Rive any indica-
tion of counteraction against this activi-
ty of British diplomacy. Lord Salisbury-
is said to be really on Emperor William to
keep In touch and harmony with the czar.
So long as this is feasible. France is not
expec ted to take any serious initiative.
Moreover, according to dispatches, In
the British press, French anglophoblsm
seem to have abated since the queen's
death.
Austria and Italy are put down as sure
to do nothing contrary to Emperor Wil-
Bu tier's speech che bill

A bill extending the port of Honolulu
the privileges of immediate transporta-
tion of dutiable goods was passed.
Mr. Penrose then called up his resolu-
tions reJatin gto the death of Alfred C.
Harner, late a representative iu con-
gress and the senate listened to eulogies
to the memory of Mr. Harner.
Tlu> resolutions were passed, and the
senate at 6:05 o'clock adjourned.

CINCINNATI, FEB. 9.-The situa-
tion is more complicated than ever to-
night regarding the contests here next
Friday night between Martin and
Childs, and Jeffries and Ruhlin.
It was thought that arguments
would bo completed tonight before
Judge Hollister on the aplication for a
permanent injunction against the pro-
posed contest. The attorneys, how-
over. insisted on so much time for ar-
guments that another day will be spent
in hearing them. It is hardly possible
that Judge Hollister will be ready to
render his decision on Tuesday morn-
ing, and if he renders it on Wednesday
or Thursday there will be very little
time for the proposed appeal to the
higher courts.
Meanwhile, there are all sorts of
rumors about other proceedings, in-
cluding an action against Madden and
Brady for perjury and especially the
former.

Judge Peck Insisted /that the proceed-

room rather than one of equity, and
asked why Brady, Madden and other,
who were in the court room, were not

i Ruhlin had been two weeks ago..
Counsel for the lnjunctioh said that
such might be the case further on. At
any rate there is much talk about
what yet may be done to prevent the

jurisdiction of the court of equity to

WASHINGTON, D. C., FEB. 9.-In ac-

Hitchcock an appropriation of $20,000 will
be made in the deficiency approprition bill
for the purpose of re-surveying the exter-

Cannon of the appropriations committee
of the house Informed the State Capital
correspondent that there would be 110
hesitancy in authorizing this appropria-

as well as the secretary of the interior,
were exceedingly anxious that the Wich-

settlement at the earliest possible date.
