a certain Army officer stationed at New

NOUS. has taken occasion to bewaiI the fact
that the practice OF hazing is TO be tabooed
at West Point. He believes that ali the Of
dccrs in the military arm OF The service
are Of like opinion. To his mind there
is not the slightest harm in compelling col
legiate recruits to submit TO all manner
% mental and physical torture for the NOR
bid pleasure Of the upper oiassmen. In
fact. he advocates the barbarous diversion
on the ground that it does "a young fellow
good brings out his mcttle. and wears OF
any OF the shreds Of apron strings that
may be cIinging 10 him as tho result OF

This Army officer. who views The passing

an illustration, he cites the former dig
niiied practice of commanding the candi-
date for the hazing to eat cake OF soap.

potent considerations. The FIRST is that the

The second is that the President. for W-om

Governor Pingree,s Ambition.

Governor Pinsree'S AmbitiOD.-The
members OF the Michigan delegation now
in the city have for the past few days been
discussing the report that Governor Pin
gree will be a candidate for the Senate 70
succeed Mr.. Mcmillan at the expiration
of the latter's term in 1901. When Alger
retired from the field as an aspi-ant for
Senatorial hOnOrs it was looked upon as
probable that no one would be found to
succeed him. and that Mcmillan would
have a clear field for re-eIectiOn Now.
however it is announced that PingTee has
about decided 70. enter the race. and that
he will make every effort to defeat his old
enemy. When asked regarding the Gov
ernOrs probable chances for success. "a
prominent Michigan Representative said
last night; II don't care to be quoted. be-
cause at this time, nothing positive can
be said as TO the result Of the Senatorial
election; but the opinion o. the members OF
the delegation is that Mr. Pingree should
have taken the advice OF his friends and
quit politics without being forced out"

His Troubles Not Endcd.-A close
friend OF Senator Chandler said today that
the failure Of the grand jury al Concord TO
indict Senator Gallinger on charges OF v.O-
lating the Civil Service law does not put an
end to his troubles on that score. The
charges were preferred as result OF furi-
Gus factionalism i'm New Hampshire. and
this sort OF warfare. it is pointed out. IS
not stopped until one side wins in a de-
cisive victory. Senator Chandler entered
the fight with all Of the ardor Of his impeJ-
uous nature. and his friend declares that
he has determined 10 push the case against
Dr. GaIIingeT. After the sensational trial
before the Civil Service Commission last
summer. during the progress OF which the
two Senators almost came to blows. Sen
ator Chandler declared that he was going 10
carry the case 10 the White House and
show good cause why President Mckinley
should dismiss Commissioner Mark Brewer
because Of his alleged Partially 10 Senator
Galliuger IL is said that Senator Chandler
has held this determination in allegiance
pending the action Of the grand jury in
the GaIIinger case. hoping that an iudiCt-
ment against his colleague would cause the
President to bring Commissioner Brewer
up with a sharp turn. Unless the fiery
Senator's stern resolution has been sick
lied Ger by the pale cast Of thought" it is
believed he will Eow proceed against Com
missioner Brewer as means Of further
embarrassing Or. Gallinger. When Sena-
tor Chandler starts on a crusade he usually
makes such a tremendous noise as TO al least
attract national attention, aud if he should
prosecute MS charges against Commission
er Brewer il is freely predicted that he viii
compel the President TO take some public
notice OF the case. Therefore the affair has
been given renewed interest by Senator
