On THE ANXIOUS BENCH
Naval Cadets Who Have Completed Their
Six Year Course.
Conditions Governing Promotions to
the Line and staff Not Agree
able to Many.

1t is stated that the academic board at
the Naval Academy has made up Its as
signInent of the graduates who have just
completed the six years course, and that
the Navy Department is merely waiting to
see whether there may be any casualties
between this and the first of July before
promulgating the assignments to the sew
eral corps of the navy. Under a recent law,
the surplus cadets of the line, of whom
there are a number this year. may be as
signed to the engineer corps If vacancies
exist there. provided they show fitness for
the position of assistant engineer. 1t so
happens that there number of vacan
cies in the engineer corps this year, and
there is a scramble for them by those
cadets who failed of appointment to the
line. The line division of the class numbers
thirty-four, and the engineer division five.
Thus far there are only twenty vacancies
in the line and one in the marine corps, SO
there Will still remain thirteen cadets for
whom there are no vacancies. 1t is learn
ed that of these thirteen cadets seven or
eight were found deficient in engineering
on the eYamina ton just held at Annapolis,
and that the academic board Of the Naval
Academy has decided that inasmuch as the
law says that those cadets who are trans
ferred to the engineer corps must be found
proficient the board cannot recommend
them for transfer, because they We're found
deficient in the very studies which form the
basis of the engineering profession.
Secretary Herbert takes the same view
of the matter, SO it is probable that at
least seven cadets Of the line division will
be honorably discharged in accordance
with the law. The cadets affected arc,
however, trying hard to get appointed to
the engineer corps, Notwithstanding that
they failed in the very study that would
have secured them the appointment and
have secured the services of IN attorney.
Mr.. Ernest Wilkinson. an eX-naval officer,
to try to induce tee Secretary of the Navy
to set aside the decision of the academic
board. Mr.. Wilkinson was at the depart
ment yesterday in company with Repre-
sentative Meyer of louisiana and saw
some of the department officials in relation
to the matter; but the law puts the Sc
lection of the cadets in the hands of the
academic board, it is doubtful that the de
ficient cadets will succeed. There is, how
ever, an opening for them In kinderd
service, the revenue marine, as Secretary
Carlisle recently decided that graduates Of
the Naval Academy might be appointed as
third lieutenants in that service without
examination.
Another feature of the case is that the
cadets, who have just completed the four
years course at the academy, feel them
selves interested, as they may fail of ap-
pointment two years hence should all the
vacancies be filed this year, and they are
getting their friends interested in the mat
ter to see that they be not left out Of con-
sideration when the final assignment Of
this years class IS made.

CHEYENNES MAKING THREATS.

Red Lodge Dies.

BRIDGEPORT, Blaine county, Oklahoma,

of the shooting of an Indian, Red Lodge,
by Deputy Sheriff Burch, is imminent. Red

to Fort Reno and the Kiowa reservation
Capt. Woodson, Indian agent of the Chey-
ennes and Aarapahoes, passed through here
for Arapahoe to quiet the Indians. The
whites can identify Red Lodge as the man
who assaulted Mrs. Hays.
John Hansel, an educated Cheyenne In
dian, said: Il fear my people will arise
against the white men, The whites have
imposed upon them beyond endurance. 1
saw old Red Lodge at Watonga. He said
IL his son died the Indian people would go
on the warpath and wipe out the white
people at Arapahoe.'
Asked how many warriors the Cheyennes
had, he said from 800 to 400. He said they
would get no help from the Arapahoes,
but would from the Kiowas.

The defendant, accompanied by his daugh-
ter Miss Ida Howgate, seated himself be-
side his counsel, Messrs a. S. Worthington

both he and Miss Howgate had plainly
nerved themselves to hear the worst
The Jurymen looked warm and careworn,
ana II was a noticeable fact that they
avoided gazing at the defendant or his
daughter BY some means It had leaked
out that the jury had found the defendant
guilty, and about every one in the court
room was aware of that fact before Fore
man Grove, in answer to Clerk Downs
formal inquiry, stated that the Jury had
agreed, finding the defendant guilty on
each Indictment, the two indictments
charging, respectively, forgery and falsifi-
cation of accounts
The defendant heard the verdict without
moving a muscle, looking straight at the
twelve men who had sealed his doom, and
lis daughter. for whom there was general
expression of genuine sympathy, heard the
verdict hardly less bravely. Indeed the
only indication of the strain she was under
going was a suspicious moisture in her
eyes

the jury recommended the defendant to the
mercy of the court, the jury was polled,
and each man replied that the verdict as
stated by the foreman was his verdict.

DON'T BELITTLE YOUR TOWN.

Whatever tailings you may have-and

Ne'er stand within the market-place,
and as you coldly frown,
With all the strength that you possess,
throw cudgels at your town.
Do not upon the corner stand and OPEN

Her merchants are the meanest men to

For doing so you only bring upon the
town disgrace
Besides. my friend, this is no way to

What if the town hall is not as large as
you, perhaps, desire
The Westinghouse is over-large for the
height of the spire.
There's a better way, my friend, the
towns good to advance,
Than throwing cudgels at her head
whene'er you get chance.
Do not increasingly complain about her
streets and squares
The failures her officials have, the par
sons talks and prayers.
And do not in an endless plant your
small opinion give
Of how much better things were done
where once you Glanced to live.
Do not throw cudgels at your town, be-
cause it is not right,
And if you do the chances are that most
Of 1t is spite.
If people do not look at things exactly
as you do.
| would not be surprised to learn the
trouble is with you.
If things are not what they should be.

Roll up your sleeves and go to work
and have what's wrong removed.
But let me say whatever line Of action
you pursue,
Do not destroy what you now have TIL
YOU can build anew.
