WEST POINT, n. Y, June 12.-The last
exercises are over and another class has
gone forth. Rev. Edward Everett Hale
addressed the graduates this afternoon
in behalf of the board of visitors, con-
cluding with the remark: 'Stand by
our country, boys" which was received
by the cadets with loud applause. Sec
retary of War Proctor told them that
since the days OF Miles Standish there
had been no period of forty years in
which we had not been obliged to call
upon an able general to command our
armies in war.
General Sherman was introduced. He
said he would first have to apologize for
appearing in civilian dress. "But l tell
you" said he, you will be glad to fol-
low my example, when you have served
fifty years as l have done today"
AT this announcement the audience
sent up a mighty shout of congratulation
on the old warriors semi-centennial. 81
have served in fifty such classes as this
that leaves here" added the general.
Il am pleased to see such a large au-
dience today. Times have changed
since fifty years ago, but the appearance
OF the corps OF cadets has remained
almost the same since the organization
Of the academy in 1915"
In conclusion, General Sherman said
graduates must not become impatient
Tor promotion. General Sheridan and
himself never commanded company
until the war broke out. He advised
cadets to trust in God and serve their
country faithfully.
The corps then marched back to the
barracks, the order of the day was read,
and the cadets dismissed. The boys
hurried again to pack their trunks and
put on civilian dress, and few hours
later were on their return to New York

The Tucson COurt-Martial,

Tucson, Ariz., June 12.-At the court
martial today, several witnesses were
examined as to rental values in Tucson,
who testified to the effect that the rent
ais charged the government in the cases
at issue were not exorbitant, but reason
able. The assistant quartermaster Cap
tain True, testified that he had adver-
tised for proposals for offices for the two
paymasters and assistant quartermaster
in one building, but that the proper
quarters were found to cost $75 for
rental, and as much more for watch
man. He believed the present arrange
ment Of these offices much more econom-
ical for the government than con-
solidation OF the offices would be.

THE INDIAN SCARE.
EXAGGERATED REPORTS ABOUT
CHEYENNE DEPREDATIONS
General Ruger Does Not Believe There is
Any Serious Trouble-The Settlers
Badly Scared Nevertheless.

HELENA, Mont, June 12.-The report
of threatened Indian hostilities in East
ern Montana is largely sensational. An
account received here implicated the
Cheyennes in depredations on cattle
herds. The only murderous crime COM
mitted is the killing of Robert Ferguson,
foreman of the Ramsay Cattle Company,
May 9th. The guilty Indians were sur
rendered and jailed, and are awaiting
trial at Miles City. Recent movements
of band of Cheyennes led to suspicion
that they were making ready to
go on the warpath. The military
took prompt measures to check the out
break, if meditated. The exaggerated
rumors scared number of exposed set
tiers, and in response to the representa-
tions of danger the governor dispatched
to Miles City some arms and ammuni-
ton. Governor Toole said this after
noon that he had an officer at Miles City
who didn't seem to share in the fear of
trouble There are soldiers enough to
chief in Custer county. The opinion
lItIC ID ClldU UHC OuCFCluCo WILL DC hCPU
in control without bloodshed.
BILLINGS, Mont, j une 12.-It is reported
that man named Mayer has been killed
by the Indians at Tongue river. The In
dians are killing cattle by the hundred.
Reports from the Rosebud country say
three ranches have been burned and
other houses shot into. A posse of cow
boys left Rosebud last evening to drive
r. l. ,n4,
gardless of the military.
ST.. PAUL, June 12.-General Ruger,
commanderof the department Of Dakota,
has advices from Tongue river, Custer
and Keogh that the Indians are excited
over the shortage of subsistence, and
that the settlers are alarmed, but he
had no information of an uprising, and
does not believe in the number of MUIR
ders reported. The four companies OF
cavalry at Tongue river will be rein
forced by three of infantry tomorrow.
General Ruger says the military on the
ground can easily cope with the Indians.

WILBUR'S MISSION.
Two Propositions Submitted to the
Santa Fe.

SAN Francisco, June 12.-The depart
ure OF l. R. Wilbur for the east some
days ago, it is now stated, was to have a
conference with Allen Marvel, president
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe,
and if possible to provide ways and
means for the completion and operation
of the San Joaquin valley railroad. He
goes prepared with two propositions, it
is stated, one of which contemplates a
completion of the road with private
capital. under a guarantee of business
from the Santa Fe Company; the other
is simply a proposition that after the
road has been built, the Santa Fe Com
pany shall either purchase it outright or
lease it for long term of years. In case
the former proposition is accepted, the
road will be operated as an independent
line from Antioch to Rogers, and if the
second proposal is most acceptable, the
road will be operated as an integral part
of the Santa Fe system. In either event
ship and rail will meet at tide water,
and eventually the road will be pushed
to San Francisco. In this connection
some interest attaches to the plan Of
Captain Smith, of the California and
Nevada railroad, to run tunnel through
the hill into Walnut creek valley
Smith, it is known, has made surveys to
connect with Wilbur's road, and the
greatest engineering difficulty in the
way is the tunnel, which he now claims
will soon be opened, some of the bonds
of the road having been recently foated.

GERMAN AFFAIRS,
The Reichstag Still Struggling With the
Army Bill.

BERLIN, June 12-The committee of
the reichstag on the army bill today
passed the paragraph in the measure pre-
scribing the basis for the military foun-
dation. Windthorst, leader of the
Clerical party, declared that he would
vote for the bill, as he did not consider
the moment cpportune to attempt any
tests of party strength. He announced
at the same time that he would lay on
the table in the reichstag mo-
ton suggesting that the government
should desist from it's intention to COM
pei all men capable of bearing arms to
perform military services; should abol-
ish the septennate; should fix the
strength of the army annually at the
time the budget was submitted, and the
term OF service for infantry be fixed at
two years. Rickert proposed that the
peace effective be fixed annually. The
minister of war replied that the consti-
tuition implied the right of the emperor
to fix the effective.
The reichstag today adopted grant
of 100000 marks on account of East
Africa

present the matter was in abeyance,
and the company had made up it's mind
not to give the project any further con-

Associated Press Dispatches.

ALBANY, Ore, June 12.-News was re-
ceiyed here today Of terrible tragedy
enacted early this morning, seven miles
northeast of Lebanon For about two
years Grant Aarnspaugh has resided
with his family, consisting of his wife
and two children, in a country home
near his parents, having moved there
from California. A sister of Mrs. Aarns-
paugh has been living at the home of
Aarnspaugh for some time. A sus-
picious circumstance led Mrs. Aarns-
paugh to believe that her husband was
too intimate with her sister, About 5
O'Clock this morning, missing her hus-
band from her bed, and hearing noise
in her sisters room, Mrs. Aarnspaugh
fastened to the room and entered She
found her sister sitting in her husbands
lap in chair, both in their night robes
This is not the first time this has
happened" she said, "and | am going
to put a stop to it,
Producing a revolver she aimed it at
her husband and fired, the ball entering
his breast. He fell to the floor, while
her sister fled from the room and out
into the yard. Mrs. Aarnspaugh then
ended the tragedy by shooting herself in
the head. She died in a short time
Mr.. Aarnspaugh lived several hours, and
confessed to the above facts before sew
eral neighbors and men from Lebanon.
Justice Wallace was called, and with
a coroner's jury found verdict sub
stantially as stated above.
Yesterday Mrs. Aarnspaugh wrote to
her mother in California, charging her
sister with working against her and try
ing to break up her home, and there
seems little doubt that Mrs. Aarnspaugh
had grounds for her rash act. The affair
has caused great excitement throughout
the community. The participants in
the tragedy were quiet, unassuming peo-
pie, always remaining at home and asso-
ciating with but few persons.
Later particulars of the shooting show
that Mrs. Aarnspaugh shot her husband
while he was asleep. She had found
her sister and husband in a compromis-
ing position the night before, and had
upbraided her sister about it, when the
guilty couple taunted her with threats
of eloping together. The wife waited
until her husband was asleep this morn
ing and shot him, then killed herself
The baby, lying between them, was un-
injured. Her sister ran into the room
on hearing the shots and found both
diving.

LONDON, June 12.-At caucus of the
Conservative party at the Carlton Club
today Lord Salisbury announced that in
order to cope with business the bills
which reach an advanced stage during
this session would be resumed at the
next session at the same stage. Several
Conservatives condemned such course,
saying it would inaugurate bad sys-
tenn. After a lengthy discussion the
caucus separated without adopting a
formal resolution on the subject. The
cabinet afterwards held a meeting in
Smiths private room to discuss the
liable source that the government has
decided to abandon the land pur-
chase bill for the present session.
The Unionists prefer the licensing bill
to be dropped. Thirty conservatives
have revolted, being discontented with
Secretary Matthew's action relative to
the chief of police.
At the Carlton Club meeting Salisbury
spoke of the fatigue OF parliamentary
work, and proposed standing order
that none except money bills be debated
after a certain date, the others to be
suspended until the following session.
This plan would have the advantage of
giving the house of lords more time to
discuss the bills brought before it.
Smith intimated that his health would
not permit him to face the labors of the
autumn session.
In the commons, Ferguson, under
foreign secretary, stated that Portugal
accepted, in principle, the arbitration
on the Delagoa bay railway question
proposed by England and the United
States. Matthews, home secretary, an
nounced that the resignation OF Chief of
Police Monroe was due to difference
with himself on questions of legislation
and administration.
1t is reported that James Monroe,
chief of police, resigned in consequence
of a quarrel with the government re-
garding the regulations adopted on the
occasion of the demonstration in Hyde
park Saturday.

ing an address to be presented to Cardi-

G. Foster, special agent of the depart
ment Of justice, who arrived here from
San Diego few days ago, where he had

Senators Stewart and Reagan on the
Verge of Fighting.

Verge of Fighting.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-The marble
room of the senate was almost the scene
of battle royal yesterday between Rea-
gan, of Texas, and Stewart, of Nevada.
The Nevada senator has just met with
decided defeat in the fight he made on
Major Powell, chief of the geological sur
vey, consequently he feels very tender.
Reagan, on the contrary, has been
staunch champion of Powell. As Stewart
passed Reagan, the latter began chatting
him about his defeat Stewart took one
or two samples of the Texans badinage,
then wearied OF it, and angrily
charged Reagan with being
mere tool and puppet of Pow
ell. Reagan's wrath rose and he
retorted in good kind. Words ran high
until at last Stewart, beside himself
with anger, charged Reagan with false
hood. Reagan jumped for Stewart and
battle in which age and avoirdupois
were the principal factors, was only
avoided by friends. Later Stewart
called on Reagan and apologized, but
Reagan haughtily declined to speak to
him. A few hours later Senator Hearst
managed to make them shake hands.
