WASHINGTON, April Q.
SENATE

solved when the Senate adjourn to-day 1t
to be to meet Monday.
Mr.. Logan submitted a resolution direct
ing the Secretary Of War to furnish the
Senate with any facts that may be in his
possession in reference to the recent
mutilation OF one OF the cadets at West
Point.
Messrs. Eaton and Maxey thought the
resolution premature. The official in-
yestigation Of the outrage was known to
be in progress and the Senate would be
able to get all the report when 1t should
be made.

request the President Of the United States
to transmit sdCh information in regard to
the affair as in his judgment would not be
incompatible with the public interest.

ports regarding the outrage were most ex-
traordinary. He had never heard OF a
man committing such an outrage on him
self and he wanted the Senate furnished
with the facts.
The resolution was supported by Messrs.
Voorhees,, Bruce and Hoar, who denounc-
ed the practice OF hazing aud many other
outrages at West Point.

der the rules. -
