ANOTHER MILITARY ACADEMY
Representative Mercer Thinks One Should
Be Established in the West
Not Much LegislatiOn Expected This
Winter-An VIII Sustain the
Monroe Doctrine.

Representative Mercer of Nebraska in
tends to make strong effort this winter to
secure the establishment of another military
academy. besides West Point. He thinks that
there Is abundant need for another institu-
ton of this sort, and that 1t should be estab-
lished in the west. The old Fort Omaha In
Nebraska. he says. will be available for this
purpose. and 1t would require very little ex-
per Sc to put it in condition to furnish all ac-
ccmmodations necessary. This fort the gov
eminent has surrendered for military pur-
poses. and he will make an effort to have it
converted into a school. Mr.. Mercer says
that he Is afraid the present Congress will be
good deal like the -Fitzsimmons
fight entirely without result
An Unfortunate situation.
1--WE are in just that unfortunate situa-
tion," he said. that nothing can be done
concerning any very important question on
account of the disagreement between the
executive and Congress. The probabilties
are that Mr.. Cleveland will try to put the
rep lblican Congress into a hole by making
embarrassing recommendations to them in
his message, and then Congress will turn
around and try to put him in a hole If they
can find any deeper than the one he is ii
already: l am in favor of it with all my
heart. Whatever revenue legislation there
may be must relate to the tariff, in my
judgment. 1 do not think that a republican
Congress can turn to Mr.. Cleveland to ask
what they must do. The trouble about any
legi lation. however, is that while tie Housa
is republican, nobody knows what the Sen.
ate Isl
Sound Money In Nebraska.
Mr.. Mercer said that he did not believe
that there should be any financial legisla-
ton, and speaking of the local feeling in
Nebraska said that the renuhiicanS in the
state were in favor of sound money, and
that the recent election there had demon
strated that majority of the democrats
were.

Important Discussions Today in the
General Assembly.
INlTlATORY REFERENDUM DEBATED
Temporary Liberalization Of the
Rule Against Liquor Dealers.
LOCAL CUES ION s

The general assembly Of the Knights of
Labor today resumed work with the COM
mittee on grievances and appeals having
the floor. The case acted on today was
one brought up on appeal from New York
and Brooklyn, where District Assemblies
No. 900 and No. 40. the former with five
PAYERS trade councils and the latter with
four, raised a question of jurisdiction. The
question was whether the district assem-
bly, had any control over the councils In
trade matters. The appeal being made by
the district assembly, under whose action
the members of the council had been sus-
pended from the order. the general assem-
bly, refused to sustain the appeal. The au-
tonomy of the trade council in trade mat
tiers pertaining to that coun I'll is, therefore,
established by the vote today.
This matter being disposed of the commit
tee on laws resumed its right to the floor
proposition, coming from Cleveland Dis
trict Assembly, No. Al, in favor OF the
initiatory referendum was taken up, and
after considerable debate referred to the
committee to have various amendments in
corporated in the general proposition.
Proportional Representation.
A resolution proposing that the general
officers of the order be elected by proper
tional representation was then debated at
length, and also referred back to the COM
mittee for revision.
Considerable time was given to a discus
sion of section 10, under article II. Of the
constitution of the order, relating to the
standing of members who are temporarily
forced, for the sake of a living, to engage
in the sale of intoxicating liquors. Section
70 is as follows: "At the option of each local
assembly, any person over sixteen years of
age Is eligible to become member OF the
order, except a person who either sells or
makes a living or any part of it by the sale
of intoxicating drink. either as manufac-
turer, dealer or agent. or who tends bar per-
manently or temporarily, and no lawyer,
banker. professional gambler or stock broker
can be admitted"
Charity Shown.
The order has enforced this article
strictly, but the present depression has
forced many members to enter into the
employment cf liquor dealers in order to
support their families. And, of course,
Under the constitution. they thereby forfeit
their status as members of the Knights of
Labor. Sec ton ST of article u Of the con-
stitution says: "A member going into
the liquor business or deriving any support
from the same. or tending bar perma-
nently or temporarily. shall by such act
forfeit his membership in the order"
No action was reached upon the propo-
sition. but there is disposition among the
delegates to liberaliZe these sections Of the
constitution temporarily for the relief of
members Of the order affected by them.

A Suggestion to the Railroads.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

On a cable car Saturday 1 heard one
party say to another: I'VE have given up
our trip to Atlanta and the exposition be-
cause in the first place the railroad fare is
too high, and then the limited tickets are
only sold on certain days, and one must go
then or stay at home. We have accepted
the latter alternative and shall put the
money into Christmas presents" To my
the trip saved leave and money are now
looking up pleasure In opposite directions.
Were the railroads to offer a more reason
able rate and sell their ten-day tickets
every day, or at least add Saturdays and
Sundays to their schedule, venture to say
their Golfers would undergo a healthy in
crease during the balance Of the EXPOSE
ton season. and that dozens Of persons in
stead Of now and then q single one would
go to Atlanta. Can't The Star make some
such suggestion to the railroads. T.

WILL SEIZE THE SHIP,
The COmman der of the Lord Brassey
Has Violated Various Regulations.


Has Violated Various Regulations.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, November
1S.-If the British ship Lord Brassey, now
100 days out from Shanghai, mas not found
cred at sea or arrived in port, she will be
seized by the British consul and forfeiture
proceedings will be instituted by the gov
er1ment. From official documents received
from the customs department at Shanghai,
1t appears that Capt. Cunning obtained a
custom house clearing by fraud and
forgery, in order that he might man the
ship with inexperienced sailors. The United
States government, too. has a claim. He
insured and sailed from Shanghai without
first obtaining American consular bills of
health, the penalty for which Is a fine Of
5000.
English shipmasters on Puget sound, who
are personally acquainted with the captain
of the Lord Brassey, say he suffers at
times from temporary arrangement. The
Lord Brassey Is one Of the finest English
vessels on the Pacific ocean, costing over
SS5O,OOO.

shortags Of esO.O 900 Discovered at the Car

CARSON New. March 20 Andrew
Mason, inspector of the mint and super
intendent Of the New York assay de-
partment. has been in Carson for the
past week inspecting affairs at the
United States mint. An article in The
Tribune TO the effect has given rise to
rumors that something was wrong at
the mint. as heretofore the presence of
government inspectors had been known
to the public on the day of arrival. The
fact Of % much secrecy caused ugly ru-
mOrs, and it was later learned from
Hirsh Harris, melter and reaner, that
. shortage had been discovered month
ago. Il was learned that something
over e60, 900 had mysteriously disap.
peared and that five cleanups, which
were made in quick succession as it was
thought some clerical error had been
made, failed to reveal the cause Of the
shortage. Refined gold and silver te
that amount has disappeared and In
spector Mason expects to clear up the
mystery in a day or two. Mr.. Harris
asserted che reason SO much secrecy wa,
observed was that it was not deemed
advisable to give the matter publicity
as that might prevent the recovery OF
the loss. No direct charges have beel
made as yet.

Latest Report Regarding Spanish Depre-
dations ON the High seas.
NEW YORK, March 2O.-A special
from Key West eays: The latest report
is 70 the eject that the schooner Irene
was fred into and dismasted by the
Spanish cruiser Infanta Isabel. The
news was brought to this city by q YES.
sci engaged in the cattle trade between
this port and the mainland. The Irene
is q small schooner owned in this port
by Canary islanders. She has been em.
ployed in the fish trade all winter, but
within the past few days returned with
party of court officials from Fort
Meyers, where an important murder
trial has been held.
She afterward sailed for the fish ranch
at Punta Gorda, where it was reported,
ON expedition sailed for Cuba.
This point has been under surveil.
lance by the Spanish cruiser, and the
schooner was followed from here and
fired into.
This is the report given by fishermen
ut the ranch to vessel which has just
arrived.
The family of the owner and crew Of
the Irene live here, and considerable
alarm has been occasioned by the news.

OFFICIALS SILENT.

Gresham and Assistants Have Nothing to
Say Of the Alliancs Affair.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-An impene-
trable mystery surrounds the negotia-
tions between the state department and
the Spanish government ON the Alliance
affair. 1t seems to be the impression of
the officials of the state department,
from the secretary down, that in the
present state Of excited public feeling in
the country, better progress can be
made toward peaceable settlement of
the question by keeping the various
notes secret than by giving publicity to
them before conclusion has been
reached. Therefore, the only response
to definite inquiries that can be obtained
is positive refusal to discuss the sub
ject in any aspect, and whether or not
any action has yet been taken by the
Spanish government in the direction of
issuing instructions to it's naval officers
to refrain from further interference
with American shipping will probably
be learned first from Havana, from
which point the orders will be distrib-
uted.

SENATOR FAIRS WILL.

How tho Newly Discovered Iastrunent
Was lGshs and Whore It Has Been.
SAN FRANCIsco, March 20.-It now
turns out that the reputed latest will Of
the late James G.. Fair was left in
charge Of Mrs. Nettie T. Cravens, .
principal in the public schools, who was
q great friend OF Senator Fair. The
will was written in the house Of Mrs.
Haskins, with whom Mrs. Cravens was
living and in the presence Of both wit
nesses. Mrs. Cravens says it
Came About In this Way:
Senator Fair had gone to visit her.
Their conversation turned to wills, and
Senator Fair said that his lawyers did
not seem to get his will Just as he
would like it. Fair made several other
remarks which led Mrs. Cravens to pro-
pose that he make new will then and
there and have her as q witness, and
that he make provision in the will for
. fund for the support of school teach
era who had been teaching for 25 years
or more. To all of which the late Sena-
tor Fair agreed, and sat down and
wrote the most recent document which
has been presented to the courts.
why It Was Not Made Public.
The reason assigned for keeping the
new will 30 long in the background Is
that the custodian did not look at the
date Of the will when Fair died, and
when the old will was made public, she
thought it was one of later date. Gov
ernor Budd, one of Charlie Fairs coun-
sci, said:
''Mrs. Cravens was up to Sacramento
in the interest Of the teachers pension
bill. heard that she dropped a remark
about q legacy to the pension fund. !
sent for her, and after little she told
me the whole story. Mrs. Cravens was
q great friend Of Senator Fair, lived for
years at the same hotel with him, and
he was frequent visitor at her home.
He there wrote the will and gave it to
her to keep"
