Washington, Nov. 25.-The an
nual report of the Board of Visit
ors to the West Point Military
Academy recommends raising the
requirments for admission so as to
provide that applicants shall be
examined in such subjects as may
be prescribed from time to time by
the Secretary of War before they
shall be admitted to the academy.
AS the barrack and academic
building were found to be ample
for the accommodation of at least
81 more cadets, two at large for
each state in the Union, or one
for each senator, and the addition
al cost would be but slight, the
board recommends that an act OF
congress be passed, authorizing
the nomination of one cadet by
each United States Senator, in ad-
dition to those nominated by each
member of the House of Rcpresen.

additions and improvements at

and repairs of riding hall and

provements, which they think will
make the Military Academy the

SALISBURY TALKS.
Tells the Primrose League About
Transvaal and Egyptian
Affairs.

London. April 29.-At the Grand habi-
tation of the Primrose league, Which,
took place at Covent garden opera house
this afternoon, the premier, the Marquis
of Salisbury, was the principal speaker.
Referring to the Communication of the SEN
tence of death in the cases of leaders of
the Johannesburg reform committee, he
said that he thought from the past that
people might believe that President Kru-
ger would not make unworthy use of cir
cumstanees which had placed political
opponents in his hands.
There has been, he added, great deal
of criticism abroad concerning the adj
vance on Dongola. But he said ''we
are bound to relieve Egypt of the fearful
curse of savage invasions and domina-
ton on frontier, and by the expedition we
are only fulfilling one primary and most
imperative articles of our trust to that
country"

He Wanted to Know.

The Trappist monastery situated in
Kentucky is the home Of those monks
upon whom the injunction OF perpet-
ual silence is placed. The stories that
sift through to the outside world,
with more or less romantic detail,
concerning the Individual monks Of
La Trappe are many. There is one
told of a brother at Gethsemane
which is old but full of dramatic sug-
gestion. He was a soldier Of Napo-
leon, so it was said, and after the
emperor's first abdication took the
cowl Of the Brown brothers" and
ultimately came to Gethsemane.
Forty years he lived in silence, hear
ing nothing of the worlds history,
but with one item of curiosity left I'M
quenched When he came to die and
was lifted from his hard couch and
laid upon the harder floor, strewn
with straw, when all followers OF the
order must meet extremes, the abbot,
as is customary, told him he was at
liberty to ask any questions he de-
sired. what became OF the emperor"
the old man asked promptly, and
then for the first. time learned Napo-
Icons fate, long years after that
restless clay had become dust.-Rich-

STARTLING TESTIMONY.
Women Identify jackson and Wal
ling as Having Been on
the Turnpike.

Newport, Ky, April 29.-Startling tes-
timony was given this morning in the
Jackson murder trial by two women who
confirmed to some extent the story told
by Coachman George III. Jackson.
Mrs. Settlers, who lives on the Lick
ing pike and comes to Newport on foot
every day, testified that about 8 o'clock
on the morning of Friday, January 81,
she met two men, strangers, who stared
at her in such way as to brighten her.
She says the road on which she met them
was used altogether by residents of the
neighborhood and it was very unusual
thing to see strangers there. This is the
the cab Friday night. The witness says
she had never see these men since until
this morning, when she recOnized them
as Jackson and Walling.
Mrs. Alice Steifel, who lives on an I'M
frequented road between the Licking
pike and Alexandria pike, which is also
a part of the route described by Jackson,
testified that after midnight on Friday,
January 81, she was awakened by dog
barking and heard one-horse vehicle
passing along the road rapidly. This
was very unusual occurrence and she
thought it was some doctor Fastening
to see patient.
The testimony of Dr. Edwin Freeman
of the Cincinnati Electric Medical col
lege continued until the recess. AS an
expert he testified as to the condition Of
the neck and other parts of Pearl Bry-
ans body, and claimed that the condi-
lions clearly showed that the head was
amputated when Pearl Bryan was alive
and that her death was caused by the
amputatiOn.

The reflection did not, however, pre-
vent him from pursuing a course
which many persons would have
ter. After having walked at a rapid
pace nearly to Notwithstanding,
he suddenly turned, and hurried in
the direction OF Kensington, where, ar
rived in front OF a very modest and
quiet-looking house, in which every
one was, to all appearance, long since
retired for the night, he paced to and
fro till near upon daybreak; then, as
the dawn crept slowly up the east, he
as slowly and reluctantly returned to
town, and betook himself to a miser-
able little lodging, preparatory to
commencing the labors Of the day
with what heart and capability he
might, after such preparation.

COMMISSIONERS OF THE CA1ssE.
Still Discussing the Matter of Funds for
the Egyptian Campaign.

Cairo, April 27.-The action against
the commissioners of the caisee of public
debt to enjoin them from allowing any
further dues from the reserve fund to be
used for the purpose of Anglo Egyptian
expedition up the Nile was partially
heard today. The proceedings were adj
journed until Wednesday,
Counsel for the Egyptian government
argued that the court had no jurisdiction,
as the decision of the caisse was the act
of sovereign power and, moreover,
neither France nor Russia had protested
to the Egyptian government.
Counsel for the French bondholders
tried to show by precedent that the court
possessed jurisdiction and also that the
decisions of the caisse must be unani-
nous.
It is expected that the session will be
concluded on Wednesday next.
