ADMIRAL BUNC~s FLEET.
Newspaper Correspondents Not Permit
ted Aboard the Vessels.


Charleston, S. c., Feb. 1O.-All efforts
made by newspaper correspondents to
board the warships off Charleston bar
have so far proved futile. The ships
are strung out to sea beyond the jet
ties for distance of eight miles; the
cruiser Columbia, which is furthest
out, is from sixteen to eighteen miles
from the city. Some signalling was
done last evening from the flagship
New York, and in consequence the
ships began TO move from the north to
the south of the harbor. The battle
ship Maine anchored little to the
south of the lightship which stands
just six miles out from Fort Sumter.
The Fern lies behind the Maine, the
New York is half mile further south.
Half way across the main channel is
the monitor Amphitrite and beyond her
and out to sea is the Columbia. 1t is
supposed here that the ships have
taken these stations with a view to eff
fectually guard the south entrance
to the harbor. 1t is known that the
Vesuvius has been ordered away from
League Island, and as she is to be the
blockade runner, it is thought that she
will come down the coast under her
own orders after all the big ships are
in position, and try to run into the har-
Dor undetected. This is only supposi-
ton, but it is at least possible and
probable. Efforts to get some detailed
statement of the injuries done to the
ships during the storm are thus far
unavailing. The Marblehead, when
up to the city, gave little evidence that
she was injured. Her superstructure
was battered somewhat, but as one
stood upon her deck, she looked little
the worse for wear.

Met Death in a Patrol Box.

Pittsburg, Feb. 1O.-Police officer
John Harrison, who was found dead
yesterday standing in the patrol box at
the corner of Ninth street and Liberty
avenue by Police Lieutenant Crossin.
had reported to the Central police sta
ton by telephone only forty-five min
utes before. When Lieutenant Crossin
opened the patrol box door Harrison s
body fell against him. Harrison held
the telephone receiver in his death
grasp. The cause of his death has not
yet been ascertained. but it was due,
probably, to an electric shock or from
heart failure.

For Extortion and F,I.e Arre.t.

New York, Feb. 1O.-J. L. White.
treasurer of the White Locomotive
works, who was arrested last May on
a charge of forgery and was released
when Henry Mckenzie, who made the
charge, signed an affidavit proclaiming
Whites innocence, is suing Mckenzie
for S15O,0O0 for extortion and false ar
rest. White swears he was innocent,
but that in fear of conspiracy against
him he accedeorwhile in prison to an
alleged demand to turn over his for
tune to Mckenzie. Mckenzie denies
coercion, and says he made no bargain
for Whites release.

M'KINLEY BACKING HANNA.
Report That He Requested Bushnell TIC

Report That He Requested Bushnell To
Appoint the Chairman to the Senate.
Canton, o., Feb. 1O.-It is rumored
here that President-elect Mckinley has
interfered in the senatorial fight in this
state by sending letter to Governor
Bushnell requesting that Chairman
Hanna be appointed to succeed Sher-
man. 1t. in said that the letter was
taken to Columbus by Judge Day, and
that was the reason of his sudden ap-
pearance in Columbus few days ago.
The letter followed the receipt by the
governor of a note from Senator Sher.
man intimating his resignation. 1t did
not demand Chairman Hanna's appoint
ment, but it suggested that in the in
terest of party harmony and for the
sake of Mr., Hanna's services to the
party during the campaign it would be
the right thing to do.

sheldon Murder Trial..

Auburn, n. Y, Feb. 1O.-The prose-
eution in the Sheldon murder trial
continue to offer expert testimony.
Several local physicians were called to
the stand and the trend of their testi-
mony was TO show that Mrs. Sheldon
could not have shot herself without
burning and blackening the flesh and
imbedding powder grains in the skin
surrounding the bullet hole. Micro
scopic examinations of Mrs. Sheldon's
head failed to show any such conditions.

Senator Morgan consumed the remain
der of the afternoon in continuation
of his speech begun Monday. The in
dications are that he will not conclude
for several days. He then offered an
amendment providing for the abroga-
ton of the Clayton Bulwer treaty and
advocated it at some length. He also
contended that the Nicaraguan canal
SHOULD be excepted from the treaty by
name and gays notice that he should
offer an amendment to that effect. An
amendment was offered by Mr.. Bacon
of Georgia providing for modification
of the article relating to claims so as
to exempt bonds issued by the southern
states during the reconstruction period
Another amendment was offered which
seeks to meet the criticism that the
treaty gives the president sole power
in the Premises. 1t provides that all
subjects of arbitration before being
sent to the tribunal established by the
treaty must first be submitted to the
president and the senate.

THE LAW COURT.
u The following rescript has been re-.
ceiyed from the Law court:

Inc following rescrfpt has been re.
ceiyed from the Law court:
KNUX COUNTY.
Mike Donnelly VS.. Booth Bros. and the
Hurricane Isle Granite company.
After careful examination of the num-
erous exceptions in this case, it is the
opininn of the court that none Of them
can be sustained. Upnn the motion we
are satisfied from the evidence that plain
t1if's injury resulted from the breaking
OF defective roHe, that sustained the
PLATFORM on which he was at WORE,
which should have been discovered bsfore
1t was used, and would have heen if
reasonable care had been exercised in the
selection of tackle, and that the neglect
in this respect was not that of fellow
servant, but was failure on the part Of
the defendants to usa the necessary pre-
caution which the law requires the
master toward his servant. While the
verdict is large, we are not able to say 1t
ia so excessive as to disturb it. Much
must be left to the Judgment of the jury,
who saw the parties and witnesses, and
were in good position to determine the
extent and effect I the injury. Their
Judgment should not be overTuled, unless
it is manifestiy erroneous. 1t does not
appear to be SC here. Motion and exoep-
lions overruled.

Hazing at Bowdoin.
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
1t is gratifying to note that President
Hyde Of Bowdoin has at last taken sum-
mary measures with the students who
have been indulging 10 hazing. The
reported suspension of eighteen members
OF the Sophomore class indicates that the
faculty is alive to the need of repressi We
measures.
1t is to be hoped that they will adhere
rigidlg to their reported action, regard
less of any concerted movement by the
fellow class mates of the offenders.
Hazing as college custom has moth
ing to commend it but college precedent.
1t is the essence of follY, based on uh-
warranted egotism ana arrogance.
1t is tiebasing to those who practice it,
and fraught with the greatest danger
to its victims.
1t is difficult to conceive Of o more de-
grading exhibition. (unless it be prize
fight, which it closely resembles in bru-
tally ), than crowd of young collegians,
by strength Of numbers, and brute force,
maltrearing and subjecting to every
species of indignity one or more helpless
victims.
Hazing has had its day. The public,
and every enlightened and enabling in
f1uence protests against its continuance.
let the faculty stand fast and stamp
out with intiexible determination this
disgraceful survival of the past.
The result win be increased public IA
vor, more students, and the elevation of
the ethics of college life to the plane OF
CITIZEN.

THE TROUBLE AT BoWDolN.
A Freshman Lost Two Teeth and Eigh-
teen Sophs Were Suspended.


The trouble at Bowdoin college which
resulted in the suspension of eighteen
mem bers of the sophomore class arose
from the tossing IN a blanket and the
breaking of of two front teeth when
Freshman Cbilds collided with the cell
Ing of his room last Friday evening.
It is q custom imniemorial at Bowdoln
for the sophomores to welcome the In
coming Of spring with celebration, and
last Friday evening saw the class OF w
buslly at work collecting material for a
grand blnfire. A few minutes before 1t
was time for the clock to strike the mid
night hour group of sophs clustered
about a portion of Prof. Lees woodpile.
They had secured barrsl Of pitch for
the bonfire fro.n Portland.
AT the first stroke of the clock the
chapel bell began to peal, and spring was
ushered in to the tune of horns, re-
volvers, guns, etc, and the campus was
Illuminated from end to end. 1t was next
decided to try a little tossing in a
blanket. Freshman Childs was the un-
lucky recipient of this attention. The
first time he went up he struck his facs
againgt the plaster, ana on his downward
trip two front teeth were minus.
On Saturday evening it was voted to
suspend for the remainder of the term the
offenders, and the latter received their
tickets-of-l from President Hyde.
At a class meeting the sophs voted to
stand by their mon, aud it was stated
that if any were suspended the whole
class would follow.
