WEST POINT, June 1.-The military
academy at West Point is still very
much to the front, Notwithstanding that
the cry of fashion and ~jingoism is "The
navyi The navyl" On June IL the
military academy will turn loose on the
service 81 young officers. They are ca
diets when graduated, for their diplomas
confer no title. In this diploma,
however, they are recommended to
President Cleveland for appointment,
and every one Of those who comes up
TO the high standard demanded from
West Point students is pretty sure OF a
commission and appointment at once,
since it is a fact, given to me on the au-
thority of one OF the oldest members OF
the faculty Of the West Point academy,
that hitherto they have never been able
to graduate q class that ILLS all the va
cancies and openings that occur in the
service annually. The number falls
| short by from five to ten.
People have an idea that West Point
cadets. do not do much Of anthing but

Ia hops. That is mere nonsense. They
do attend to their buttons and all other
articles of clothing most scrupulonsly.
The government makes them. II every
seam isn't just so, II a collar isn't clean,
or II a bell button is of a coat, the boy

traditional ''hop cadet" Of West Point,
| the only chance to hop these 81 cadets
who graduate this year have had has
been every other Saturday night dur

| called the ''cadet hops" They don't
have much chance TO attend hops; they
have TO work.
On June Is the green class comes in.
1t is so green too. At this time they
are known as "beasts." They have TO
be taught how to stand up aud also how
to look an officer square in the eyes. 1t
| takes months to drive those two things
into their muscles. They are also
taught to tell the truth. People who
Go not know West Point familiarity are
unable to appreciate how important a
portion of the West Point education
this matter of honesty is.
1t is one Of the traditions and one OF
the necessities OF West Point instruc-
| ton that truth shall be made to appear
to the cadets as a very desirable thing.
Sometimes of course this fails, but
generally there is no place among
the cadets at West Point for
a boy who cannot be taught

SMUGGLING IN CHINESE.
an Underground Railroad Unearthed in
New England.

New England.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 3.-Im-
portant disclosures as to a systematic
underground railroad arrangement for
smuggling Chinese into the United
States by way Of Canada are contained
in a report just made TO the Treasury
Department by Special Agent Converse
Smith, stationed at Boston, Mass. He
reports the arrest on the charge OF
fraudulently Introducing Chinese into
the United States of FIVE persons: Chas.
L. Smith, of West Charleston, Vermont;
Willis Hopkins, Of West Charleston,
Vermont; Mrs. Willis Hopkins, OF West
Charleston, Vermont; Chin Poy, of Ly-
donville, Vermont, and Frank c. Park,
of st. Johnsbury, Vermont. The report
says ''the two last named are China
men"
An organized gang, and It Is believed
there are confederates in Boston, have
conducted their nefarious business for
nearly a year, and, from the confes-
sions of some Of those now under ar
rest, it a be authoritatively stated
that Chinese laborers to be entered
claudistinely were first taken In Mon
Hesl and delivered to one Frank Lee,
also q Chinaman and laundryman, at
Sherbrooke, Quebec, who secreted them
for ten days or two weeks In order that
no trail might be obtained Of the men,
and then under cover Of the night they
were taken by carriages to his residence
at Stsndstead, near the border.
Hopkins has fitted up his house for
a. 81 fhnca man and
there they were also detained for a
time and then forwarded again to
Charles l.. Smith, at Charleston, VT,
who in urn delivered them to the Chi
nese laundryman.> Chin Poy, at Lydon-
vile, or Frank c. Park, at st. Johns
bury, some 60 miles from the border,
and at these points the Cinnamon have
taken trains to Lowell, Lawrence and
other cities.
There is evidence that Hopkins who
is the leading spirit has also engaged
Ia smuggling opium and other mer-
chandise Smith has In his possession
the names OF a good many Cinnamon
who have been struggled across the
border, but it is difficult to estimate
the extent Of the business. The rail-
way station agents at LydonVllle and
st. Johnsbury state that a large num-
Der OF tickets have been purchased by
the Cinnamon now under arrest. 1t is
known that for each Chinaman thus
introduced the sun OF 500 has been
paid and divided between the different
men.
1t is believed that Chin Poy is the
only one of the FIVE persons who will be
able to furnish surety. 1t is the belief
that one OF the largest and best organ
lied gangs that ever operated In New
England has been unearthed, and the
arrest is looked upon as Of great i'm
portance TO the government, and this
opinion is also entertained by the Uni
ted States Attorney and other officials.

WORD comes from a reliable source
that Ohio county is not to have the
Gauger, a place for which there has
been an active canvass. A number of
influential Democrats think the action
Of the Collector very unfair to this
county. The REGISTER is reminded,
however, that the two appointments
heretofore made is all we had under
CLEVELAND the first time, and Wetzel
had the third, in the person OF
Hon. SEP. HALL. While the an
nouncement is quite a damper to the
ardor Of a number Of Democrats
Ohio county would not complain II
the Collector would make his head
quarters in Wheeling. The Office be-
longs where the bulk of the business
is done. and was taken away from
Wheeling in 1885, when we had a right
TO expect its retention.
