Division of Virginia United Daughters of
the Confederacy began its three days an
nual convention in the council chamber
here yesterday. Mrs. S. Thomas McCul-
Tough, of Stanton, presided: Mrs. Norman

adoption by the Grand Division OF a pre-
amble and resolutions OF the Dabney ii.

President Mckinley, Gen. Louis Wagner
and Ellis Post, Grand Army OF the Re-
public, of Philadelphia, for resolutions pro-
testing against the erection by the Daugh-
tiers OF a monument to the unknown dead
Confederate prisoners in the Germantown
tPa-1 national cemetery. The resolutions
thus refer to President Mckinley:
The Inconsistency of President William
Mckinley who, though in his Atlanta
speech emphatically expressed his desire
that the nation should protect Confederate
graves, when appealed to by the Daughters
of the Confederacy, found it outside his
jurisdiction to give permission for the
marking Of these graves
Incorporated in the resolutions is a let
ter from Gen. James c. Lynch, Union
veteran disavowing the protests of Ellis
Post and OF General Wagner. The resolu-
tons provide that at the earliest date pos
sfble we remove the remains CT our un-
known dead from their present resting
place to Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond .
and that the Dabney H. Maury Chapter
erect monument to them in Hollywood,
the monument to be unveiled on Memorial
Day, 1901"

lFrom the Boston E5era.d.l

An order has been issued by the Superintendent
OF the Naval Academy that hereafter any cadet
known To have been present at 4 hazing without
attempting to stop It shall be reported to the
Navy Department with a Recommendation Tor
dismissal This order Is not retroactive, and
does not apply to the recent cases. This Is the
same old story OF threatening with respect to
future Offences and condonement of past ones
Hazing has been under official ban at Annapolis
as at West Point. for years and years Every
cadet knows 1t. Does it stop2 No. Why not ?
Because the pEnishments Threatened are not car
Tled into effect when occasion arises. Why motif
Because OF political pull. Hazing can be stopped
IN both these institutions whenever 1t Is Sc
riously determined to stop it-that Is to say,
whenever the penalties proclaimed are enforced
without mercy and without pa!tiality. There
is no doubt that eonmandsnts, as \ rule, would
Ike TO stop it, bat they get their lesson when
their judgments are oyerruled at headquarters
