The commit- tee is desirous of having you tell in your own way the manner in which you were hazed, the forms of hazing, the names of the men who hazed you and the conse- quences.” MacArthur replied: *“I had been about a month in the summer camp of 18% as a ‘plebe’ when the hazing, an account of which I have read in the papers, occurred. Like most reports of the kind, it was a small affair, greatly exaggerated after- ward.

He admitted that the people did vote at the November election in favor of the Republican _policies, including perhaps that for a lagge army. “But,” said he, “is there to be no such | faith in human nature as will suppose | that the people will not after a while have | a lucid interval?” He argued that the people after realiz- ing the power Flfl(‘ed in the executive by the pending bill and realizing that they were to be saddled with a permanent standing army of 100,000 men would re- | verse the present conditions of things. Money adverted vigorously to the prac- tice of hazing at the West Point Military Academy, declaring it must be stopped o the insfitution must be abolished. He said nobody could induce him to believ that the w to make a good soldler was to “set a great big bully” upon a small man to beat him. He did not refer, he sald, to horse play or practical jokes, but to mob violence and cowardly brutality, “I cannot understand,” said Money, | ‘‘the motives of a lot of young men, all of them schoiars of charity, who are pald for taking their education, who get to- gether and mob another young man, whose only crime is that he arrived at | West Point two or three years later than | 1'on Works of San Francisco. || they. ¥e declared that the man who hazed others at the mlilitary academy would be a tyrant and a despot with the men of his command after he received his commis sion. He did avr believe ‘that the cadets realized the contempt in which their tions was held by the American p le. The pract.ces there, he declared, must be | abated. I think the Senator will be satisfied,” interjected Proctor, one of the membors of the Miiitary Affalrs Committee, “when he sees the West Point bill which will be reported in a day or two.” Mone continuing, s: ‘‘And I do not Any officer or id want to stop at the boys. instructor at West Point who counte- nances or winks at this practice of haz- ing ought to be dishonorably discharged from the service.” McComas of Maryland, while giving the pending army bill his approbation, be- lieved it ought to be amended in some re- spects. He argued in favor of eliminating the age limit as applied to the appoint- ment of officers In the regwar army from the volunteer service, urging that the President be given discretion to appoint any competent officer, irrespective of age. He. too, denounced hazing at West Point. Bate of Tennessee opposed the pending bill not only because it conferred upon the Yresident aulhofllr which he thought ought to be exercised only by Congress but also because it created a permanent standing a..ny of 100,000 men. He urged that Jf the refular armyv was increased to 100,00 men {t would never be reduced in strength, as all powerful influences, so- cial and political. would work to prevent the reduction. The building up of this army and the authority conferred upon the President by this bill, he said, were the longest strides ever taken in this country toward ‘‘Imperialism.’” Penrose addressed the Senate briefly in support of an amendment he offered, striking out of the bill all limitations of age as applied to appointments of officers in_the regular army. ‘Without proceeding further with the army bill the Senate at 4:55 p. m. went into executive session and at 5:06 p. m. adjourned. WILL EXPEL HAZERS. An Amendment to Enforce the Rules at West Point. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—The Senate Committee on Military Affairs to-day adopted the following amendments to the regular appropriation bill for the West Point Military Academy: o “Under the direction of the Secretary of War the superintendent of the United States Military Academy shall make and enforce such rules and regulations as were hazed on that occasion.

Currie Will Probably Represent Nebraska at Washington. LINCOLN, Nebr. Jan. 17.—The man who polls the second largest number of votes for the long term as United States Senator from Nebraska to-day is a cow- boy and ranchman. His name {s Frank M. Currle and besides his reputation as an expert with the lasso and the branding iron, he bears two college degrees of B. A. and M. A. His ranch comprises 4500 acres of land in Custer County and when at home he spends his entire time actively superintending it. He is a Pennsylvanian by birth.

The special train with troops from Lexington is due at 3 a. m. No attempt was made to-day to clear away the debris of the ‘White building, wrecked last night by dynamite. Every ! one kept within doors, fearing further trouble between the Shotwells and Whites before the troops arrived.

Quay's friends from Pennsylvania came to Washington by the hundred to witness his induction into office, and they brought with them floral offerings lite ally by the carload. While Quay's desk and the desks of other Senators adjoin- ing his were banked with costly and beau- titul floral pleces, scarcely an apprecia- ble quantity of the profusion of flowe his friends had provided could be dis- played in the Senate chamber. The demonstration accorded to Quay when he entered the chamber amounted to an ovation. While he was receiving the congratulations of friends on the floor, the hundreds of persons who thronged the galleries rose as one and applauded him tumultuously. That Quay apprecfated this distinctly personal trib- ute was quite evident. He glanced smil ingly around the galleries, nodding fa milfarly to friends whom he recognized here and there. The brief ceremony of administering to him the oath of office passed without spe- cial event, the president pro tem. having warned those In the galleries that it was against the rules of the Senate for spec- tators to express either approval or dis- approval. CULLOM HAS A WALKOVER. Opposition Withdrawn in the Race for the Senatorship. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. 17.—The Re- publican Jjoint caucus to-night unani- mously nominated Senator S. M. Cullom for United States Senator. The contest came to an unexpected close about noon to-day by the announcement that former Governor Tanner and Messrs. Cannon, Hitt and Prince had withdrawp from the race, leaving Senator Cullom a walkover. The announcement of Governor Tanner's withdrawal came first and was shortly followed by announcements from the other candidates. The exact causes that s eyes as the result of the explosion. It is believed he will dle. The trouble between the two families, which was precipitated by Raleigh White killing the elder Shotwell, has been brew- | ing many vears. Mary Shotwell and young White have been engaged, and not withstanding the fact that her father is dead she expresses sympathy for White. Mrs. White, the aged mother of the White boys, is in a serious condition to-night. Early this evening a number of mountain- eers who were unknown to Corbin rode to the outskirts of the town, fired their ‘Winchesters and then rode away. Sheriff Sutton attempted to-day to ar- rest the Shotwells, but was held off at the point of Winchesters. He states that he will arrest all the boys to-morrow when the troops arrive, and he will have over 100 deputfes of nis own.
