A BATTALION DISBANDED.
The Instance Is without Precedent Ia the MS
tory Of England.

LONDON, England, April 7.-Thsrs
is a sensation among the volunteers and
militia of the country over the disband.
ing, to-day, by order OF the secretary
Of war. of the fifth battalion Of the
Scottish rifles, 800 strong. The dis
banding Is the outcome OF . report
made by Sir Francis Grenfell, who was
sent by the war Office to inspect the
battalion, the latter being given twelve
hours notice to appear on parade.
The report in question reads more like
. piece OF exaggerated American
humor than serious official statement
20 the government. It was shown
that some OF The men appeared for
drill In their clippers, that during the
drill the officers and privates address
cd each other By their Christian names,
that the swords, rifles and other &C.
coutrements were in an astounding
condition Of rust and general mclean
liness, that three Of the officers kept
saloons and took turns IN supplying
liquor at the shooting ranges, that
another officer was plumber who re-
paired the targets.
Onecolonel was shown to have sold
$4,000 rounds Of ammunition furnished
by the government, to rifle club. One
officer, when ordered to put the corps
through battalion drill, was found to
be ignorant even of the words Of COM
mand. The disbanding of SO large .
battalion, and under such clrcum-
stances, is without precedent in the
history of the war department Of this
country.

Boous DIPLOMAS.


CHICAGO. illinois, April 7.--Ev
idence in the case OF Frederick Rutland
s. D., Phi. D., M. d, president and
director of the Wisconsin Eclectic mad.
zeal college, was submitted TO The
federal grand jury to-day.
The case Is one Of national interest,
from the fact that Rutland 10 charged
with using the mails as q means to
defraud young men ambitious to be-
come physicians, the nominal fee OF
$50 dollars being charged for matric-
ulation, examination and graduation.
The alleged "college" was located in
the residence district OF the west side,
but the ''examinations'' were conduct
ed through the mails. The books Of
the concern failed to show the total Of
bogus diplomas issued, but they are
said to run into the thousands, and are
to be found in every state In the union.
Rutland was admitted TO bail. after
his arrest by the federal officers, but
skipped his bonds about three weeks
ago. His household effects and those
of the "college" were shipped to
Canada, but the fugitive has not 80 far
been located. The evidence Is so over
that true bill Of many
counts is certain.
Rutland's bogus diploma scheme Is
said to have been the most pretentious
and extensively operated In this country
since the infamous "Dr." Buchanan,
Of Philadelphia, was sent to the PEN
Itentiary in the sos. On the trial of
case, it was shown that he
had sent no less than 10000 diplomas
10 foreign countries. His conviction
put stop to the business in this country
Tor several years.
