WILLIAM A. RUBLEE.
Appointed to Succeed the Late Mr..
Wiidman as United states Consul
General nj Hong-Kong.

The new consul general to Hong
Kong, W.. A. Rublee, of Milwaukee,
Wis, is tall, athletic-looking young
man who is apt to impress strangers
as one whom it might be unpleasant
to trifie with. Nor is this impression
likely to wear away on closer ac-
quaintance. Though courteous and
gentlemanly in his address and bear
ing, Mr.. Rublee is rather reserved in
manner. He has calm, judicial
mind and looks well into matter be-
fore coming to decision, but once

HoRATIo S. EARLE.
New President of the League of
American Wheelmen Is the
Busiest Man in the Country.

Members of the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen say that their new
president, Hon. H. S. Earle, of Mich
try. AS proof of the statement they
cite these facts: Besides being pres
ident of the League of American
Wheelmen, he is the chief consul OF
the Michigan division, he is the sena-
tor from the Third district in the
Michigan legislature and in the SEN
ate is chairman of two committees
and a member of four others; he is
president of the Birthday college, OF
The sun., 1901-04-04

which he is the originator and foun-
der; he is the presiding officer of a
lodge; he is the superintendent of a
Sunday school, besides acting as
chairman of committee ON athletics
in two others; he is a special repre-
sentative of the department of agri-
culture. Is that enough? If not you
can add to it the fact that he sells
the entire output of two factories.
Not only does Mr.. Earle perform
the many duties of these positions,
but he has never had a failure re-
corded against him. Those who know
him best say he is one of the coming
men of the United States and his rec
crd is enough to warrant their con-
yictions.

Little Tale from the rersran.


There was young man who loved beau
tiful maiden, but he was poor. One day he
asked her to be his wife, and she answered.
II love you. Still, !. do not wish to be a
poor mans wife. Go and get money and
then return and we will live happily ever
after" The young man went away and ere
long began to sway the markets. He made
millions and still more millions, and the
maiden waited. When the young man had
ten millions he wanted to outshine one
who had fifty millions, and when that wish
was gratiied he longed for a hundred mill
lions; then he yearned for two hundred
millions, and at last he set billion up as the
amount he wished to accumulate. When,
one day in those parts, certain old maid
lay dying, she said: There's no use ex-
pecting hog to keep his mind on anything
else after he gets his feet in the trough

Away After Lingering At
tack of Brain Trouble

Boston, May H.-Former Congressman
Charles A. Boutelle of Bangor, Me-, died
today at the Mclean Asylum, Wayerly,
where he had been confined for year
with brain trouble. Death was due pri-
marily to pneumonia, which developed

Mr.. Boutelle was 90 years of age, and

ice. Three daughters survive.

a At of unconsciousness while at a hotel
in this city. He was carried to his room

WEST POINT CADETS
TO BE DISMISSED. ON
CHARGES OF MUTlNY

Washington, May 1.-Col. A. L. Mills,
superintendent of the military academy,
left Washington today after confer
ence with the Secretary of War In order
to be present at West Point tomorrow
when an order will be read dismissng
five cadets from the academy and sus-
pending six more on charges of mutiny
and breach of discipline. There are a
large number of other cadets upon whom
will be inflicted minor punishments, such
as extra duty, confinement to quarters,
deprivation of holidays and reduction of
class rank. 1t is understood that Doug
las Macarthur, son of Major General
Macarthur, commanding in the Philip
pines, will escape with a minor punish
ment.
An official statement of the situation at
the academy was made at the War De-
partment It was said that the cadets
had been guilty of acts which would not
be serious in college. but in view of the
fact that these young men were educated
by the government, at a government in
stitution, to learn obedience and to learn
how to command men themselves, 1t was
necessary for them to be under a some
what more rigid discipline.

General Assembly at West Point Had
Crowded Day.

West Point, Miss, May H.-The Gem
eral Assembly of the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church never had q more crowd
ed day than this one. Important reports
on education, publication. Sunday schools
and judiciary were disposed of rapidly
but with due deliberation. 1t was a day
of spirited but in every instance frater-
nal discussion. This afternoon the mar
riage and divorce question, raised on
Saturday, was settled by striking out the
requirement that ministers officiating in
the marriage of unscripturally divorced
persons, together with the persons them
selves, be disciplined. The assembly re-
voked an act of the last meeting dismiss
ing from the ministry preachers who hold
for more than two years letters OF dis
missal and recommendation.
The Owensboro (Ky) Presbytery was
reprimanded for ordaining to the minis
try a man lacking the prescribed educa-
tional qualifications. The marriage of pro-
bationers during the period of their prep
aration for the ministry was vigorously
discouraged. Forty-six ministerial ordina-
tions occurred during the year Tonight
a platform meeting occurred in the inter
est of ministerial education and minis
terial relief.

UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH.
The General QuadrenniaI Conference

Frederick, Md, May N-The general
quadrennial conference of the United
Brethren Church in Christ, which has
been in session here since the early part
of the present month, adjourned this
evening to meet in Topeka, Kan, in 1905.
The bishops districts are to be four in
number and composed of these confer
ences:
Eastern District = The Allegheny, East
Pennsylvania, East Ohio, Ontario, West
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia.

The trouble grew out of attempts to
suppress hazing. Although promises of
the suppression of hazing have been made.
"bracing' still has been carried on
against the orders of the officials.
There is also the case of Ralston, who
was reduced for not reporting misbe-
havior at the mess table. These class Of
ficers were reduced and some minor pun
ishment inflicted.
The mutiny or characterization grew out
of the resentment of the second class men
who have been at the academy three
years. at these punishments inflicted by
the academy officials. 1t took the form
of such offenses toward the superinten-
dent as training the gun upon his quar-
ters and in others acts Of which the
academy officials could not but take
notice. This resulted in the trials and
sentences to dismissal approved by the
Secretary of War today.
There are two other court martial cases
in the academy pending in the department
where cadets have been sentenced or dis
missed. There is a rule at the academy
that a cadet invited out to dinner can be
excused and leave the post. Two cadets
invited each other to dinner and made
this their excuse for absence. Their ruse
was discovered.

capital are under the watchful eye and

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
CALLED TO ORDER AND AN

The NEW BOAT is
PUzZLING EXPERTS
Shamrock II Was Beaten But
Did Some Remarkable Run
ming During the Trial

Ryde. Isle of Wight May N.-The trial
of the Shamrock II. and the Shamrock l..
today was in many respects the most
puzzling that has yet taken place. In
stead of throwing additional light upon
the abilities of the challenger, today's
race makes it more difficult than ever to
estimate her speed.
On the stretch from Cowes to the Sill
kiker they had an interesting struggle un-
der full racing canvass With the skip
pers at the helm. Officially racing had
not commenced; but the shippers were
apparently having a trial between them
selves and snatching every advantage
The Shamrock IL. was good half mile
to the leeward when they started, but in
the five miles between the anchorage and
the Silkiker she closed up the whole of
this big gap. After threatening to go
through the weather Shamrock III. had to
be thrown in the wind and held all aback,
while Captain Wringe sailed the Sham
rock l. boldly across his bows in the
wrong tack.
The keenness of the contest was shown
by the fact that Captain Wringe tried
this bluff; for had Captain Sycamore held
on there would probably have been a
disastrous collision.
For the first five miles of the official
course the new yacht did equally well,
opening out on every board and then
suddenly falling off instead of gaining.
The new yacht lost on every tack. The
explanation given by those on board Is
that the bobstay weakened and spilled the
headsails and foresais; but it is strange
If an imperceptible difference in the trim
of her sails made so much difference in
her sailing.
However, as it was the old boat turned
the weather mark nearly three minutes
ahead and went off down the wind at a
great pace. Then came another surprise
for the challenger, which had never be-
fore been able to run her, closed up all
the time and when they finished the Nab
lightship turn the time of the Shamrock
I was hours, 6 minutes and IL seconds,
the Shamrock II 2 hours, II minutes and
10 seconds. The opinion of the most ex-
pert who witnessed the race was that
had it been desired that the Shamrock
II should win she could easily have done
