subordInation-R-ben Against
slrIct Rules.

Annapolis. Md, Dec. 23.-Seventy -one
cadets of the third class are restricted
to quarters for INSTRUMENTATION. Last
Sunday when the officer in charge was
in the room of the third class a num-
ber of cadets broke into loud yells. IN
rebellion against the strict rules. The
affair reached a crisis when the ca
diets held class meeting Monday night
in order to inform the superintendent
who were the guilty parties. No one
would tell on the culprits. Then the
class communicated TO Captain Cooper
that at their meeting they could not
discover who had done the yelling.
This was all Captain Cooper, the SUI
perintendent. was waiting for before
he took heroic steps. He issued an or
der that because the cadets of the
third class maintained an insubordin-
ate spirit by refusing 10 tell who were
guilty of disrespsctfui conduct while
the officer in charge was in quarters,
they would be restricted TO quarters.
This order 10 be in force on Christmas
day. except from the hours Of o'clock
in the morning TO $50 at night.

San Francisco, Dec. 23.-The feliowiug
Oriental advices have just been received
per steamship China from Yokohama via
Honolulu:
At an extraordinary meeting of tile
Japanese cabinet Baron Nshi. fore sn
minister, laid before the ministers al r.
ports he had received from apanese
ministers in foreign counties relatv TO
the seizure of kaio Chou by Germany. 1t
was decided after prolonged discussion
not to meddle with the anair at the es

ments.
According to Chinese papers Vlceroy
Chang Chit Kung has issued proclama-
tion exhorting his people TO be more
friendly to foreigners.
Commenting upon the strained rela-
tons between Russia and Japan over the
Corean question, Chinese papers report
that the Japanese army Is full of Russ an
spies disguised as Japanese emissar es.
who are doing all they can to stir up dis
affection among them.
Commenting upon the Kaio Chou affair.
the Asahi says the action of Germany n
having seized kaio Chou on the pre- ext of
the murder of missionaries Ii outrageous
and that ii disturbs the peace OF the
East. Japan cannot regard the matter
lightly. Sooner or later the line of policy
TO be pursued toward present affairs must
be decided. Japan must there fore make
a protest, either sngly or jointly. 1t APP
pears probable that the government has
merely decided 10 take either of these
courses when the time is opportune.

FROM DECEMBER TO MAY
PROGRESS OF THE GREAT FIGHT BE-
TWEEN ARMOUR AND LETTER.
No One Knows What Is to- Become of the
Accumulation of Wheat After
December 81.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-In the wheat pif
on the board of trade to-day the great
game being played between the clique
represented by Joseph Letter and the
elevator people under the lead of p. D.
Armour. seemed to be shifted from De-
cember To May. There was some real
wheat, 81 pounds TO the bushel. and
every pound calling for money. pre-
sented 10 MIR. Letters attention. Char
tering of vessels TO take our large
amount Of grain WAS believed To indi-
cate that the elevator people had some
10000 900 bushels more wheat SO near
that il was time To make room for IL.
What the clique is to do with all this
wheat has become of vital Importance
to vessel men. and 10 the elevators
themselves. On that point IL is certain
that nobody yet knows what is to be-
come OF the accumulation of wheat aft
er the tap of the bell on Dec. 81.
Within 10 days since the close of nav
igation on the lakes. about 1000. 900
bushels OF grain have been taken out
of the Chicago elevators, and loaded
into vessels. Vessel men never wit
messed such rush TO get grain into
the winter fleet Nearly so boats are
already loaded with grain. The aggre-
gate capacity of the winter tieet is not
over 1900. 600 bushels. and thus before
the last vessel of the season has reach
ed its dock at Buffalo third OF the
fleet here has been taken care of.
The rush for boats came to an end
during the day. Agents did not lind
anybody who wanted to load grain
into their vessels. They at once came
To the conclusion that the elevator ca
pacity represented by the 1000. 900
bushels taken out was about what the
elevator people expected To fill largely
with wheat before the end IF the year
The receipts since the grind began
would fill about half Of the vacated
room. This would leave room for
about 1000 900 bushels more grain. and
was taken to be a certain indication of
the amount the elevator people expect
ed 10 bring in before the end Of the

the languid, exhausted feeling
prevails, when the liver is torpid

considered, has been a very sue
