The Patients Removed to the Hos.
pitaI ut San FranciscO,

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 1.-THE forces
of the general hospital were again at
work today, busily unloading the sick and
wounded soldiers from the Hancock Be-
fore the afternoon was over. patients
amounting to 213 sick and ten insane had
been comfortably disposed of in large
comfortable, white wards of the hospital.
This is a heavy increase to the $40 al
ready in the hospital and will furnish
still larger number to enjoy the bounty
of the good women of the Red Cross at
Yuletide.
The last lot of insane were sent to
Washington today just in time to make
room for those who came in on the Han
cock II is always the custom to send off
one batch before the others arrive. as the
insane ward holds only fourteen men and
the consignment on each transport is
seldom less than ten.

In his speech against the Hanna sub
sidy job in the Senate yesterday. Senator
Clay made the telling point that the bill
provides that only ships built within five
years after the passage of the act are to
have the benefit of bounty. New vessels
for fifteen years at a decided disadvan-
tage. There is round profit in that de-
vice for the happy magnates who expect
to get in at the start. There is still a
chance, apparently, that they may be dis
appointed. A much more vicious piece Of
legislation was never attempted in the
American Congress.

Governor Beckham Of Kentucky was it,
augurated at Frankfort yesterday. 1t is
fair to presume that one of his first Off
cial acts will be to demand from Governor
Mount of Indiana the surrender Of fugi-
tives from Justice harbored by the latter
in defiance of the Constitution. 1t will be
interesting to observe what Mount may
do in the premises. Governor Thomas Of
Colorado already has decided to refuse his
acquisitions until Taylor and Finley,
charged as accessories to the murder of
Governor Goebel, are given up. and other
Governors are contemplating the same
line of action. There will be many safe

Mount continues to defy law and Justice

hazing prevalent in boys schools and col
leges is custom handed down from Eng
fish public schools. and while it has near
~ disappeared, except in its miider forms,
from the large universities, the traditions
OF West Point and Annapolis have more
tenacious life than those of Harvard. Yale,
or Princeton, and the esprit de corps is
the fact that, whereas the graduates of
an ordinary college are not obliged to as
sociate with one another in after life,
those OF the military and naval schools
are liable to be thrown into the closest
personal contact, simply because they are
graduates of these schools. and there is
therefore among them strong Feeling
that the young man who essays to COM
plete the course Of study with them must
be personally acceptable-must be, in
word, what they call 4 gentleman.
This is all right so far as it goes. But
there are various meanings to the word
gentleman. 1t is not to be supposed that
the cadets who willfully maltreat an in
offensive comrade. thereby causing his
death. are entitled to the designation.

who refused to disclose the names Of those
who tormented him is at least as good a
proof Of gentlemanly feeling as the peg
formances which had SO tragic a result.

HAMPTON WINS AGAIN.

IL was beautiful contest of baseball
skill between the "Bons" and Grabs" at
| League Park yesterday afternoon, and 1t
was hard luck the former team lost the
game.
Persons made his debut in this league,
and pitched n masterful game. striking
out ten men and allowing ten hits. sew
eral of which were scratches. His con-
troll was almost perfect, as he gave only
one base on balls. 1t was not his fault
mat the game was lost. and, considering
that he only reached the city at o'clock
having travelled 200 miles.
Hampton went to bat first. and the
first three men famed the atmosphere.
Portsmouth then went in. and Kohnle
struck out. Clark worked Allen for q
base, stole second and third. but was left,
as the next two men were easy outs.
hampton began scoring in the third
when Martin led off with n double. Hemp
lcman got base on balls, and after
Leonard and Gilligan had struck out
Durrett and Richardson each singled,
scoring two men. Hampton scored again
In the fourth on hit, an error and u
sacrifice.
Portsmouth got one back in the fourth
on an error and hit. Hampton scored
again In the fifth, and once again In the
eighth. while Portsmouth scored one
more run each in the sixth and eighth
As Portsmouth had eight men left on
bases. 1t is clear that on several occas-
ions ions hit would have helped matters for
the "Bons" but the timely hit was not
Forthcoming. as Allen steadied himself
wonderfully at critical times.
Aslua from the pitching of Persons,
there was nothing of sensational ma
ture in the game. but even II Portsmouth
did lose. Ii was beautiful game, closely
and hotly contested.
The tabuated score shows what part
each Individual player took i'll the game:
