A Court Of Inquiry Now Investigating the
Matter.
No official notification has been received at
the Navy Department of the recent hazing at
Annapolis. The superintendent of the
academy, Capt. r. L. Phythian. is investigating
the affair, and the case will probably not be
brought to the attention of the Secretary until
the report Of a court-martiai is received.
This case is the first Of the season, and it is
thought that the offenders will be severely
dealt with. 1t is understood that Cadets Grif-
fifth of Maryland, Cavanaugh of Nebraska and
James Of South Carolina, of the third class.
were caught by an officer in the act of hazing a
fourth-class man named H. V. Butler, jr. The
latter was strapped between two mattresses
and his head was covered with a
sheet when Lieut. Sharp entered the
room. Cadet Griffith tainted on the appear
ance Of the officer. The three cadets were
placed under arrest Griffith being confined to
his quarters. A court OF inquiry. consisting of
Capt. Phythian, Commander Chester and Lieut..
Sharp, is now investigating the affair. This
body will determine as to the need of q court
martial.

Date of the Encarnpment
Nothing has yet been determined offcially
as TO the time of holding the national enoamp-
ment of the Grand Army Of the Republic in
this city in 1892. Col Phisterer, the adiutant
general of the Grand Army stated 10 a srAb
reporter that il war probable the meeting Of
the executive committee of the council Of sd-
ministration. which selects the date Of the en-
campment, would be had in this city shout the
time of the assembling of Congress.
The committee has some business here in
connection with national legislation and il will
probably be considered advisable TO have the
meeting of the committee held at a time when
it can attend to all the business 20 be brought
before il.
1t is generally thought the date Of the en-
campment will be fixed in the latter part Of
September. This was the opinion expressed
today by Mr. Edison, the chairman of the citi-
zens executive committee.
The members OF the executive COMMITTEES
will hold an informal conference this evening
and a regular meeting tomorrow evening.
Chairman Edison has given considerable
thought already to the general plan of work.
There will be from twenty-five 20 thirty sub
committees appointed, each to have charge of
come branch of the great amount of business
that must be- attended 90 In order TO suitably
prepare for the reception and entertainment Of
The committees whose work will be most i'm
portant at the start, in Mr.. Edsons opinion
are the finance committee and the committee
on accommodations
These committees will have 10 begin active
work at once. Already bodies are securing
quarters for the encampment
The committee on accommodations will have
to secure headquarters for the commander-In

have TO get to work soon IL one on legislation.
In every other city where the encampment has
been held the fund subscribed by the citizens
has been supplemented by liberal appropria-
tions by the municipal or state governments,
or both.
As Congress has the disposal of the moneys
raised by taxing the citizens of Washington it
is proposed TO secure from Congress
an appropriation toward the entertainnssnt
fund and TO have the money thus appropriated
turned over TO the citizens committee The
committee on legislation viii have this matter
in charge.

He Wants $4,000 to Purchase A Large
Fire Boat.

The annual report Of Harbor Master Sutton
was submitted to the Commissioners today.
He urgently recommends that an appropri-
alton Of SS0, 900 be estimated for to purchase a
larger fire boat, which the increasing de-
mands Of each year require. Such a boat,
he says, would be valuable acquisi-
ton to the fire department, and be
of untold service in fires along the river front.
The boatis to beprovided with all modern appli-
ances for the saving Of property, and have
among other things an electric search light
AHuitable place for anchoring the present police
boat is urgently recommended, as at present
they are dependent upon wharf owners for

His Possible Successor.


Mr.. o. V. Tousley of Minneapolis has been
to the President for civil service
to succeed Mr.. Lyman. Mr..
Tousley was formerly superintendent Of educa-
ton of Minneapolis and is well-known civil
service reformer. He 10 strongly backed for
the place.
Mr.. Lyman has not yet resigned or been re-
moved, but it is well known that the President
has decided upon his retirement and that be
will go as soon as his successor can be selected
II is said that the President thinks that while
the report Of the civil service investigating
committee censuring Mr.. Lyman for iaxity in
with the giving out of examination
questions by Mr.. Campbell, his brother
in-law, makes his retirement from the
commission necessary and desirable, it
docs not SO reflect upon his character As an
official as to disqualify him for continuance in
the public service. and that he will he given
some less responsible position.
