The Lowness of This CowardIy Amuse-
ment-The Presidents Opinion.
WASHINGTON, August 17.-In the cases
OF the naval cadets recently tried by
Court Martial at Annapolis for hazing,
and sentenced to dismissal, the President
has commuted the sentences to confinement
for thirty days and deprivation of half
annual leave. The President says:
"The offences of which the accused are
convicted is unmanly and cowardly, one
which, for all reasons, deserved theseverest
condemnation. It has been exceedingly
difficult for me to consider the applica.
tions for clemency which have been ad.
dressed to me by friends OF the parties IN.
der conviction; but am led to hope fleniency
is shown in these cases the punishment
which the offenders will still suffer, though
less than dismissal, will suffice for their
correction, and serve as warning to theiI
fellow cadets.
81 desire it distinctly understood that
the cemency granted in these cases is not
to be considered a precedent for future
executive interference, and that severe
sentence recommended upon future con-
victions will be executed"

!The Helena Base BAN Game.

The base ball game at Helena yesterday
between the Helenas and the Salt Lake
Club was foregone conclusion, but the
Utah champions must have been very
lenient with their opponents to. allow the
score at the conclusion OF the game to
stand: Salt Lakes. IL; Helenas, 8. The
game here was played listlessly enough,
with numerous errors, but there must have
been some very lax work at Helena yes
terday for the score to reach such figures.
