EnuIand,. Naval supr.m,cx.

In the house Of commons yesterday Lord
George Hamilton attacked the government
for neglecting to maintain the efficiency of
the British navy. He declared that unless
determined EFFORT was made to construct
new warships England's supremacy on tho
sea would vanish within three years. Al
ready the French and Russian battle ships
together reached a total of twenty-five,
against twenty-five effective British ves-
sells OF that class.
France and Russia have ten battle ships
IN course OF construction, while Great
Britain has only three. In flrst-class cruis-
ers only was Great Britain slightly super
Tor TO France and Russia. He suggested
supplementary estimates be allowed FOR the
purpose Of pushing on the work Of building
new w1rships.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, chancellor
Of the exchequer. replying. held that the
superiority Of the British navy over the
navies Of other countries was never 30
great as now. He denied the accuracy OF
the figures presented by Lord George Ham
ilton. The government was fully alive 10
all its obligations. and would maintain
Ensland's naval superiority.

WEST POINTERS IN TROUBLE.
Three Cadets in the Guard Tents OF
the Worlds Fair Grounds.

A Chicago dispatch to the New York Sun
says Uncle Samuel has been having oceans
of trouble with his young soldiers from
West Point down at the grounds OF the
worlds Columbian exposition. The d.scip-
line Of the army has been disregardei, and
a terrible punishment has been melted out
to the gray uniformed offenders, some Of
whom are ready to graduate with high
honors from the West Point Military Acad-
envy. The rule that was violated provided
that no member of the battalion should
leave the exposition grounds without first
securing a permit from the commandant.
which. by the way. might be secured for
the asking. The offenders were First Cadet
Capt Conrad and Cadets Seeley and Rash.
Charges were made against them on last
Wedn esday. and they were at once arrest
ed and imprisoned in the guard tents Until
Thursday. when they were called before the
connandant who gave them the full limit
Of military law for their ofense. The pun
ishment melted out to Cadet Capt. Conrad
was oven more severe than that prescribed
for his companions. The young captain
was reduced to the rank Of private. He
has been punished further By being SEN
tenced to confinement within the sentinel
nnss Of the sncarnpment. Conrad was cap
to graduate He received his appoin tment
in June last, and had 1t not been for his
breach Of duty last Tuesday he would have
held II until the time Of his graduation.
Cadet Conrad Is the son OF Capt. Conrad
Of the regular army. who IS now stationed
at Fort Sheridan, and Private Seeley is a
nephew Of the late P. 7. Barnum.
