A WEST POINT HAzING
Will Cause Cadets Death But No
Investigation Will Follow.

New York. Dec "a special to the
Herald from West Point says:
Authorities of the United States Mil
atary academy acknowledge that Oscar
L. BoOz, who lies dying at his home in
Bristol, Pa, was hazed, and cadets of
the first class admit that they forced
the young man to drink a burning liquid
of tomato catsup. Worcestershire sauce
and cayenne pepper The young man
was called out ito the woods" where,
refusing to meet a fellow cadet in a
stand up fight, he was branded a cow
ard ard subsequently, forced to resign
from the academy. The authorities
have made an investigation, and have
learned Of the hazing episode Colonel
Mills, the superintendent OF the acad-
envy, declares that BOoz was only put
10 the customary test of manliness. He
will not discipline the cadets involved
Colonel Mills said:
'.Booz was not a favorite with his
class mates, and was not liked by the
old cadets He had a quarrel with a
cadet and was called out to a personal
encounter He went outside the acad-
envy TO meet another cadet in a fair
fight, but when the crucial moment
came, 1 am told, he burst into tears
His attitude was regarded as cowardly
and unsoldierly.
I do not feel called upon to inquire
into an occurrence of this kind There
was nothing unmanly in a cadet be-
ing called out to meet another in a
personal encounter. We train men here
for the army. They must grow up SOL
diers, and not towards. They must stand
ready to meet an enemy at a moments
notice, even in the knowledge that they
are facing defeat
When cadets, in a spirit of manliness
call out fourth class men, the authori-
ties don't wish to interfere. If cadet
was called out for obeying an academy
rule or as an officer enforcing a matter
of discipline, that would be a subject for
our investigation.
There did exist in the academy many
cruel forms of hazing. This was abolish
ed by the cadets own volition about one
year ago.

ty-five per cent of the college boys voted
for Mckinley in November.
This is not guesswork. I know what
1 am talking about We have organic
atoms among the college men east and
west, and ascertained just where they
stood. Not only was every college a
Republican stronghold, so was every
high school. The sons of Democratic
or wore Mckinley buttons, and those
who were old enough voted the Repub-
lican ticket.
when I was in New York just after
the election a thoughtful man said to
me:
" Well, we've saved the country again,
but L tremble for the future. Sooner or
later, we're going to have a tremendous
struggle in this country between the
forcse of conservatism on one side and
socialism on the other, and am afraid
socialism may carry the day
Il am not a bit afraid of that"

Senator Hanna was asked if he
thought the Democratic party could re-
organize itself upon a basis that should
give it a chance to obtain control of
the country in 1904
ct can best answer that question"
replied Senator Hanna 'fby repeating a
conversation I had not long ago with
one of the ablest Democrats in the
country wish 1 had permission to use
his name. I said to him:
Well, I suppose you will reorganize
your party now and give US a stiff fight
in the near future?'
No. said he, L see no chance for
reorganization that will do any good.
The best men in the party have been
driven into the Republican ranks or
have become independents. I see no
chance for the Democratic party to re-
organize itself upon a foundation that
means good to the country. It has been
wrong for forty years, and I am afraid
is past redemption. I say let the old
hulk sink
THAT is the feeling of many Demo-
crats,'' commented Senator Hanna

THREE GREAT TASKS
Are Laid Out For the Republic
can Party Says Mr.. Hanna.

Washington, Dec. 3.-In my opinion
the Republican party will remain in con-
troll of the government a good many
years. said Senator Hanna today. "It
has not only won that which the other
party can not get-the confidence of the
people-but I believe it will continue to
deserve it in the future as it has de-
served it in the past.
THE Republican party is the party of
progress, of growth, of adaptation to
modern ideas, of expansion. It typifies
the ruling spirit of the American peo-
pie at the beginning of the new century.
1t is the party which believes in Amer
lea against the world and which is not
afraid to push the United States ahead
of all rivals in commerce and manufac-
turing-which is not ashamed to stand
for material progress along with intel
lectual and moral development.
Il firmly believe the Republican party
has a great mission to perform. There
is no end to the good works which must
be performed by a party that repre-
sents the highest and best in American
life. It must never weary of well do
ing. In my opinion there are now be-
fore us three tasks of mighty import
ance:

merchant marine so that our flag shall

A CATS STRATEGY.

A friend sends me another instance of
cat intelligence to match the story of
the cat who ratified the door-latch os-

possession of his favorite chair, which
his mistress was inconsiderately occu-

According to advices from the var
