CoRBIN WILL INVESTIGATE.
A Captain Refuses to Transmit APP
plicatfons for Discharge.

A dispatch received here yesterday from
Jacksonville, Fla, indicates that many
members of the signal battalion at Camp
Cuba Libre are almost on the point of
revolt owing to the alleged arbitrary ac-
ton of the captain of the first company,
Howard A. Giddings
AT Camp Cuba Libre, on the outskirts
of Jacksonville, the signal corps or bat
TALON attached TO the Seventh Army
Corps consists of three companies, the
whole being under the command of Major
Maxfeld.
Giddings commands the first company,
and it is principally in his command that
the trouble appears to have been brew
ing. The dispatch states that sixty-six
men have applied FOR discharge and that
the captains refused to forward tn cir APP
plications 10 the War Department. The
dispatch further contains this significant
statement:
Eighty per cent of the men want to
be mustered out"
The action of the officers in refusing to
forward the applications for discharge
OF the enlisted men, approved or disap-
proved, is severely criticised in military
circles. and the matter has been brought
to the attention of Adjt. Gen. Corbin,
who win see that justice is done.
The volunteer signal battalion attached
TO Gen. Lees army is composed of a
superior class of men, representing sew
eral professions, and they are naturally
indignant at the manner in which they
are being treated.
According TO military rules an enlisted
man is not allowed TO forward commu.

MARRIAGE.
4 Symposium of English Ladies on
This Subit ct

0ondon Letter, Philadelphia Ledger.)
Four well-known ladies, two of whom
represent the world of society and two
the world of literature, have formed
themselves into a sort of plebiscite for
the collection of opinions on marriage
as social and moral institution. They
are Susan, Countess of Malmesbury;
Lady Jeune the popular wife of the cell
ebrated divorce judge; Mrs Flora Annie
Steele. the gifted authoress of "On the
Face of the Waters, and lastly. that
lady whose popularity is somewhat of a
doubtful quality, Marie Corelli Their
own opinions they have written down in
the form of a pamphlet, which it has
been suggested may enliven the dali
monotony of country houses for some
little time The views of The ladies In
question are such as might almost be
guessed by the personality of their
writer's Lady. Malmesbury, as repre-
senting the highest social world. is eau
ious in the extreme and assumes a
judicial severity, She is a stickler for
the social proprieties, and evidently would
not have a girl married outside her sta
ton for the sake of the truest of true
love, while she also urges more material
considerations of the heredity of unde-
sirable diseases against the conformation
of the impulses of mere affection
Lady Jeune, might be expected from
one possessed of such charming attrib-
utes, takes, perhaps, the best view of the
four. There is nothing complex about
her expressions of opinion. She simply
recommends that. as far as possible So
cial obligations should not be neglected
but she would also have blended thereto
the impulses of romantic affection.
Again, as most people would expect, Mrs.
Steele's view is an entirely original and
unorthOdox one. She regards the girl
who gives herself in exchange for pure
| passion as quite as mercenary as one
who sells herself for gold 1t is, accord
| ing TO her opinion. nothing but an ordi-
nary exchange. The girl gives her love
to the man, and the man in return offers
his own passion. 1t is simply barter OF
| two human qualities, or rather one quail
| ity possessed by two people, and in many
| cases. she says, the exchange is an unfair
| one These are unhappy marriages. Miss
| Corelh is naturally idealistic, and, there
! fore. impracticable. These ladies have
expressed their opinions upon marriage
| itself, but they have left out the mos
! important factor, They have absolutely
| ignored the opinions OF the young person
| She, after all, governs the situation to 6
| greater or less degree today, and tomor
| row, perhaps, she will entirely do so. Tn,
! higher education which women have
| elected TO take upon themselves will rem
| der the assistance of maturer minds quite
unnecessary.

Nathan Lee, of Bangor, Me-, recalled
some interesting characteristics of Sena-
tor Frye, at the Shoreham last night.
Senator Frye is. as you know spoke
Mr.. Lee. "the third member of the Peace
Commission, chosen by President Mc<in-
ley. Well, Senator Frye doesn't make
many speeches. but when he does he has
something 10 say and always has an aU-
dience. and no one ever questions his sim
cerity. In one sense he is somewhat
peculiar man, and that is in the lightning
like rapidity with which he forms his
likes and dislikes. A striking Illustration
of this phase of his character occurred
in the case of Minister Charles P. Bryan.
Just after he had been named for the
Chinese mission. There was no opposi-
ton to Mr.. Bryan's confirmation, but he
made a foe out OF Senator Frye one day
by an act of trivial indiscretion in the
marble room of the Senate, and from that
moment the man from Maine stamped
him with disapproval. The senator posi-
lively refused TO let Mr.. Bryan's con-
firmation go through. and he was sent to
Brazil instead.
Much method attaches 10 Senator
Frye's selection as a Peace Commissioner,
where he may easily be an inharmonious
factor, but he is likely to be less trouble
some there, perhaps, than he would be
in the Senate, antagonizing treaty mace
by some one else"

The people in waiting had loved ones

horrible picture that presented itself
when the removal OF the sick began.
Worn away to skeleton thinness, the

whether they lived or died. The women
became almost hysterical, as, sobbing bit
