HAVING AT ANNAPOLIS
An Order 10 preVenf Association
 Of Upper and Fourth Classes.

Annapolis. Md, Sept. 3O.-The naval academy authorities have learned that some of the upper classmen new here have been hazing the ''plebs. and they have determined to. stamp out this vio- lation of the regulations. This annoy ance is generally left to the third classmen, CT youngsters, and for the first class to take a hand in it breaks academic precedents. It is understood that \ the frst-classmen picked this fad up during their late visit to West Point, where they learn ed that the first class there takes a hand in hazing the fourth class. The following order has been issued on the subject by Commander c. T. Hutchins, commandant of cadets:
 ''UiE'il further notice, cadets Of the fCurth-class shall net receive visits flom the upper classmen without per mission Of the officer in charge, nor shall they visit rooms Of the upper classmen on their quarters without permission
 The naval cadet foot ball team lines up tomorrow for the first time this season. Its first game is with Prince ton here on Saturday, October ', and Cn the 14th the team will play George town.

Washington, Sept. 30.-The North Atlantic squadron will sail from New York next Wednesday. for Hampton Roads, arriving there next day. Ad- miIal Sampson will haul down his flag on the New York there and Admiral Farquhar will assume command of the squadron Cn the 14th Of October.
 The ships will stay in the Roads un- til that 'G3te, and probably a few days later in order to allow the new cCm- mander-in-chief time to draw up his plans for the winter maneuvers. Some of the ships require more or less ex- tensive repairs and this will delay the execution of any large programme until well along toward spring. The movements of the Olympia in the inn mediate future will depend upcn the disposition of Admiral Dewey.

SHARP GOLD COMPETITION
SfafiSf Says Great Britain Nay Have
 10 Negotiate a Loan.

London, Sept 3O.-The Statist, com menting on the financial position brought about by the Transvaal crisis and New York's stringency, says:
 ''The competition for gold during the next few weeks promises to be great. Nc gold is available in Aus tralia fer export, and we may have to send gold to the Cape, instead of re- ceiving it, and also meet the demand for Egypt, to pay for the cotton, as well as>South America. Beyond these considerations we have the proba bility that America and Germany will en- deavor to obtain gold at home. The unusual autumnal drain, consequently, will further advance the official mini mum. It appears nearly probable that our own government will require to raise a considerable loan, probably by the issue of treasury bills. Such a lean would, of course, give the Bank of England control of the market. en- abling it to keep its rate effective, whatever it might be.

THESE MEN BID IT."

New York, Sept 30.-The weather was c.ear and cool. The streets were crowded by sunrise. The first cere- mony was the presentation of the low ing cup to the admiral by Mayor Van Wyck. At o'clock the reception com -mittee went aboard the Olympia and took the admiral aboard the Patrol and conveyed him to the battery, where an- other committee waited Escorted by squadron A and the mounted police, they all proceeded to the city hall. There were noisy demonstrations all along the route. Governor Roosevelt arrived at the city hall soon after. Rear Admiral Schley and man other nCtables were present. Admiral Dew ey asked permission to present the na- val officers to. Mayor Van Wyck. He almost hugged Schley in his enthusi- asm.
 After the mayor concluded Admiral Dewey attempted to speak but could people from the bottom of his heart Tremendous cheers greeted every word. The admiral then called to each captain who had been at Manila and presented them in turn to the audi ence and when all were assembled he said: These are the men who did it. These are the men who should be thanked
 Rear Admiral Sampson was not cn the stand. After tremendous cheers for Dewey and Schley Broadway was cleared by the police and the admiral went in a carriage to the river, where the party took the steamer for Clare mont. Breakfast was taken en route.
 The grand parade started from Grants tomb at 11:15. Behind the po- lice was Sousa's band, then battalion Of sailors from the Olympia, then a carriage containing Dewey and Mayor Van Wyck. A long row of carriages followed containing notables.

Washington, Sept 30.-The wer de- partment officials are today very much encouraged regarding the situation in the Philippines as conveyed by official and press dispatches.

Chicago, Sept. 3O.-A mass meeting of Bohemian residents of Chicago was held today to denounce those respon- sible for issuing circular recently in which it was stated that Bohemians are in the custom Of forming secret clubs among themselves for the ex- press purpose of inducing suicides. The circulars, it is said, have been sent broadcast over the country.
 Today's meeting was attended by nearly a thousand Bohemians, and each speaker in denouncing the au- thors of the circular, was enthusiasti- cally cheered. All the speeches were in Bohemian. Frank L. Zdrubek and James E. Cross were the principal speakers. They addressed the meeting in behalf Of the Bohemian secret soci- eies, and claimed that B0hemians

GOVERNORS WERE SMALL.

New York, Sept 3O.-(Special)- The governors Of several states, who rode in carriages, though many of them were popular and would have re- ceived big demonstrations at any other time, passed almost unnoticed The crowds would havs none of them today. They yearned cnly for the brass buttons and gold lace of min- tary and naval heroes, and would have nothing else. Both Major General Miles and Major General Merritt re- ceived ovations. The former wore a band of yellow across his breast and seemed always to have his cap off acknowledging the salutations CI the throng
 But it was Rear Admiral Schley who divided the honors with the central figure of the day He received a dem onstration, second only to that Of Dewey. People along the line of march fairly rose at him, shouting their already lacerated throats, to the breaking point. "Hurrah for the hero of Santiago There is the man that smashed Cervera's feet" Hip, hip, hoorray for Schley 70 and kindred cries from all parts of the line.
