Extra Session.

Chicago, June pa special from Wash
ington says:
Persistent rumors are aioat that Presi-
dent Mckinley will call an extra session of
congress to deal with the Chinese situation.
If war exists, growing out of the destruc-
ton of the United States and other lega-
tons, it will be necessary to send more
troops to China. Owing to conditions in
the Philippines, no more troops can be
withdrawn safely. Therefore it will re-
quire authority from congress to furnish
troops. The rumors of an extra session can
not be traced TO a reliable source at this
hour, and inquiry at the white house
throws no light on the subject.

HAZING AT
WEST POINT
Kinds Which the Commandant
Says May Go On as
Usual.

NEW YORK, Dec. "A special to
the Herald from West Point says:
Authorities of the United States Mill
tary 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, Worcester
shire sauce and cayenne pepper. The
young man was called out ito the
woods" where, refusing to meet a fell
low cadet in a stand-up fight, he was
branded coward and subsequently
forced to resign from the academy.
The authorities have made an investi-
CATION and have learned OF the haz-
ing episode. Col. Mills. the superin-
tendent of the academy. declares that
Booz was only put to the customary
test OF manliness. He will not disci-
pline the cadets involved.
4 COL Mills said: "Booz was not IA
vorite with his classmates and was not
liked by the old cadets. He had a
quarrel with n cadet and was called
out TO a personal encounter. He went
outside the academy to meet another
cadet in fair fight. but when the cru
cial moment came. 1 am told. he burst
into tears. His attitude was regarded
as cowardly and unsoldierly.
II do not feel called upon to inquire
into an occurrence OF this kind. There
was nothing unmanly in a cadets be
ing called out to meet another IN q
personal encounter. We train men hers
for the army. They must grow up sol
ders and not towards. They mus
stand ready to meet an enemy at {
moments notice. even in the knowledge
that they are facing defeat.

call out fourth class men the authori
ties do not wish to interfere. III a ca
det was called out for obeying an acad
emy rule or as an officer enforcing

subject for our investigation.
There did exist in the academ,
many cruel forms of hazing. This wa

FRIGHTFUL DISASTER
Many Miners Perished in a Burning
 Mexican Mine

Monterey, Mexico July 29.-The govern rlent authorities have been notified of a terrible catastrophe at Manhuan, thriv- ing mining camp south of Monterey, in the state of San Luis Potosi. Fire broke out in the La Paz mine and before the miners could reach the surface many of them were entombed and either burned to death or suffocated. The fire ragged fiercely for sev
 eral hours. Eleven bodies have been taken out and others are known to be in the pit It is thought the loss of life will reach thirty. There is great excitement in the mining town and the number of missing men cannot be accurately determined. When the fire was discovered, Ramon Gomez, the foreman, boldly descended the shaft and went into the burning chamber for the purpose of aiding tho unfortunate miners. He was overcome by smoke and perished. His body has been recovered.

THEIR LAST SERVICE
 IN OLD QUARTERS
The Young Mems Christian AS- soCiation Will Give Way to
 Hotel HiIImanCo. Today

The Young Mems Christian Association held it's last meeting in the hall in the old Methodist Church building yesterday after noon. As the association will move out of their present quarters today, in order that the building may be torn down and the Hotel EIillman erected on it's present site, the meeting was naturally d solemn one.
 l.. c. Buell., State Secretary of the As sociation, delivered brief but able Rd- dress. In the course of his remarks he expressed hope that, although the Asso- citation would for awhile be without a hall, the members would not cease in their efforts to advance the work; that the As sociation would not let itself be tied down to material things to such an extent that it's power to do good would depend upon its surroundings. MT. Buell. explained the difference in the meaning of the words ''as- sociatfon' and institution" that, while an institution was merely a lot of build ings, libraries and the like, an association was a company or band associated to- gether for some definite cause or work, and he earnestly hoped that the Young become a Young Mems Christian Institu- tion MT. Buell. also gave a brief outline of the history of the Young Mems Chris tan Association, after which the meeting was closed with prayer.
 For the present there will be no definite headquarters, but in a few days the mo- tice of the new rooms for the secretary will be published.

DIED IN TENNESSEE
Father of Dr. J. P. McFerrin Joins the
 Silent Majority

Dr. J. P. McFerrin, pastor of the First Methodist church of this city, received a telegram yesterday morning announcing the death of his father in Tennessee.

 Deceased was of distinguished Tennes- see family. His brother, Dr. J. B.

SUNDAY MUSIC
 AND FRESH AIR Have Great Attractions for Heat
 Oppressed People, MUSIC IS DEAR AND SWEET And Whilst Birmingham's Inhabitants Love It, There is Doubt if They
 Love it Sufficiently Well
 to Pay Pay, Pay
MUSIC IS DEAR AND SWEET

Hundreds of the inhabitants of Birming ham went to North Birmingham Park last night, and heard some delightful music. Memoi's band assisted the Summer Night Concert Company in giving a concert, and wherever Memolfs band may be there is good music-the kind of music which pleases musicians and charms all those who love concord of sweet sounds
 Only music Is needed to cause North Birmingham Park to be crowded every Sunday night; but 1t is understood that Sunday night concerts of sufficient excel lence to attract the public would each cost s75 or $100, and as a business proposition that outlay cannot commend itself to the street car company To make that profita- ble, or even to reimburse the company, would probably require larger attendance of music lovers than could be constantly relied upon, the only charge being the five-cent fares on the trolley cars. Bir- mingham people love music, but it is doubtful if they love 1t an even hundred dollars worth every Sunday night in North Birmingham Park. beautiful and cool and refreshing as that pleasure place.
 But there is a great and constant de- mand for good concert music in the open air on Sunday nights, and North Birming- ham is the best place for such music.
 Last night there was a large crowd to enjoy the music in the most attractive of the local pleasure resorts. Not only did the music cause the crowding of the troll ley cars; but after the heat of an oppres- sive day, the open fresh air of the woods had attractions entirely it's own.
 All the suburban resorts were crowded with pleasure-seekers yesterday, and even the long train loads of excursionists in the city failed to present the downtown streets from having a deserted appear ance.
