ENTITLED TO PRAISE.
Minister Thompson's Stand Had Much 10 90
With Affairs at Rio.

WIN bndTs al MO.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 25-In the view OF
the pendency before the house OF repre-
sentatives OF resolution commencing the
conduct of Admiral Bsnham in opening
the harbor At Rio TO American commerc
at the risk OF "A warliks encounter with the
insurgent fleet, IL may not be amiss 10
call attention 20 the fact that United
States Minister to Brazil Thompson il
entitled to- share in the commentator
that has been showersd upon the naval
officer, as the minister was largely in
strumental In opening the harbor.
When Captain Picking was in com
mand of the United States naval forces In
Rio harbor, Mr. Thompson took the position
that American merchant ships should be
permitted 10 reach the wharves without
danger. The naval commander held that
the merchantmen had no right to get in
the line OF fire, except at their own peril.
On this general position the minister
agreed with him, but he differed
with Captain Picking as to what "the
line OF fire" was. On this the minis
ter and the naval commander fell apart,
and II may be recalled that signs of this
difference were plainly apparent in the
strained relations between them.
When Admiral Benham came upon the
scene and assumed command of the
American war vessels, Minister Thompson
renewed his proposition and succeeded In
bringing the admiral TO his point of view

THE FATAL HkllsG.

The story OF the fatal "hazing" at Cor
nell ought TO be enough to determine the
immediate cessation OF the brutal practice
in every college ia the land. IL young
men who are studying for the liberal pro-
fessions can find no better form Of famuse-
ment than ar attempt TO sufiocste their
fellows with chlorine gas, the sooner they
are cut of from amusement altogether
while at college the better. In their at
tempt at sport they have already saerifieed
one life and put Others in danger. The
college and the legsl authorities should
tese no time IA bringing to justice the
perpetrators of the outrage.

A RAP At THE SOUTH
Her Statesmen Not Those

HEWITT MAKES A SPEECH
Which Is Responded To by Young
Lawyer Who Was Born in Virginia.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23-Ex Mayor Abram
Hewitt created surprise at the banquet Of
the New York Southern society last even.
ing. In responding 20 the toast, "Our
national credit" he paid a tribute TO Sec
retary Carlisle and then proceeded 10
lay out the southern statesman. The
character OF southern statssmsnship. he
said, has decreased from the time be-
fore the war and her senators and con.
Rressmen today are az pigmies compared
with the intellectual giants of that time
The statesmen of today show little signs
OF having studied the great economical
questions affecting the interests of the
country.
Proceeding, Mr.. Hewitt aimed TO show
that southerners did not understand the
silver question, and continued; There
are statesmen from the south who have
succumbed to the fsllacy that positions
in the supreme court Of the United States
are local questions TO be settled on de
mAnd OF local politicians. IL might be
supposed that the supreme court repre-

These remarks created commotion,
but Mr.. Hewitt continued without APP
pearing to notice the sensation he was
causing. He asked: Are you less brave
now than your fathers were 80 years ago,
when they sacrificed everything they
possessed 20 their convictions, that you
will allow your congressman and senators
TO misrepresent both their country and
the truths"
Later the speaker went on TO condemn
the southern congressman for their atti.

ing the tariff, and said that gross ignor'
ance could be the only explanation OF

Hewitt's address was received In silence.

The gauntlet thrown down was imme
diately taken up by James Lindsay Cor
don, a young New York lawyer Of Vir-
Rinian birth He defended the public
men of the south, claimed that they were
the level of other Americans In all re-
spects, and pointed to high positions
which many OF them occupied They
were as well equipped morally and intel
lectually as the men Of the north. east OF

Mr.. Gordon was warmly congratulated
for his defense OF the south, and Elihu
Root, who spoke next, tried to smooth
over the ripples raised with a conciliatory
speech. He said there was no south, nc
