SENATE AGAIN DISCUSSES HAZING.
Mr.. Money Says 1t Must be stopped or
Academy Abolished.

| Washington, Jan. 17.-Again to-day
during the debate on the army reorgan-
ization bill the hazing at West Point
was vigorously discussed and denounc-
ed. Mr. Money declared that 1t must
be stopped or the institution must be
abolished. He said nobody could in
duce him to believe that he way to
make a good soldier was to "set a
great big bully" upon a small man to
beat him. 1t was not the way to make
soldiers and it was not the way to
make gentlemen. He did not refer, he
said, to horse play and practical jokes,
but to mob violence and cowardly bru-
tality.
II cannot understand" said Mr..
Money 'the motives of a lot of young
men, all of them scholars of charity,
who are paid for taking their education
who get together and mob another
young man whose only crime is that he
arrived at West Point two or three
years later than they He declared
that the man who hazed others at the
military academy would be a tyrant
and a despot with the men of his COM
nland after he received his commission
He did not believe the cadets realized
the contempt in which their actions
were held by the American people. The
practices there, he declared ought to
be and must be abated
II think the senator will be satisfied"
interiected Mr.. Proctor, one of the
members of the military affairs commit
tee, when he sees the West Point bill
which will be reported in a day or two"
Mr.. Money expressed the hope that
the committees bill would favor de-
cisive action. II do not want to stop
at the boys" said he; "any officer or
instructor at West Point who counte
nances or winks at this practice of haz-
ing ought to be dishonorably discharged
from the service"

Committee Surprised at His Stand.
West Point, N. Y, Jan. 17.-The con-
+ gressional committee only held two ses-
sions at the West Point Military acad-
/ emy to-day. The afternoon session
only lasted little over an hour. Inc
! committee afterwards attended caval-
ry drill at the riding academy, and az
| ter dinner they were entertained at a
concert by the West Point military
band at the Cullom Memorial hall.
A night session was to have begun at
8 o'clock tonight, but General Dick de-
| cided to postpone any further hearing
of testimony until tomorrow. Only two
witnesses were examined to-day. The
first was Cadet James Prentice. The
other and more important witness was
cadet Douglass Macarthur, of whom
the probers after facts about hazing

here. MacArthur's examination will be
resumed when the committee meeting
again at o'clock tomorrow morning.
In the course of the investigation to-
day Congressman Wagner congratulat-
ed Cadet Prentice, who had been on the
stand, for the considerate manner in
which he had testified he had treated
Booz, an din not reporting him at times
when he had an opportunity and par
ticularly when he did not complain of
Booz to his class committee on one oc-
casion when his doing so would have
resulted in Boozs being called out.
Cadet Douglass Macarthur followed
Prentice on the stand. When MacAr-
thur was sworn Mr.. briggs addressed
him and said: Mr.. Macarthur, we
have had a mass of testimony given
here regarding your having been hazed
SO violently that you had convulsiohs.
The committee is desirous of having
you tell in your own way the manner
in which you were hazed, the forms Of
hazing, the names of the men who haz-
ed you and the consequences.
Macarthur said: II had been about
month in the summer camp of 1899 as
''plebe' when the hazing occurred The
account of it which read In the news
papers was greatly exaggerated. My
treatment was no more severe than
that given to others, and was in no
way calculated to affect my physical
condition"
He described the hazing, and said
that at the time he considered It cruel,
and still thought so. II had no convul- |
sions," he said. II had what you might |
call aggravated cramps, and lost con-
troll of my muscles l most emphatical- |
ly deny that / was seized with convul-
sions. l was not delirious. nor out of
my mind"
In reply to Colonel Clayton, MacAr- |
thur said the statement that cotton was
stuffed in his mouth was perfectly alb
surd. Macarthur was very positive in !
his denials and the committee looked to |
be very much surprised at the stand he |
was taking.

Charges This TO the Aim.

London, Jan. 1.-THE Stop the War
committee to-day passed the following
resolution:
"Orders which a British officer re-
ports he personally received reveal the
adoption by Lord Roberts and Lord
Kitchener of policy having for its aim
the determination of a heroic nationali-

unnamed British officer containing
these and other charges, will be sent by
the committee to Lord Salisbury, Lord
Roberts, and others.

MRS. PLANT ON THE STAND
DECLARES NEW YORK WAS HER
HUSBANDS HOME.
They Had Lived ON Fifth Avenue for
wenty-seven Years-Albert II. Plant,
of Branford, Says He Always Under
dence of MIR. PIant-Failure to Find
His Name on Voting List.

New York, Jan. 17--In the hearing Of
the suit brought by the widow of the
late millionaire, Henry Bradley Plant,
to have declared Illegal the third codi-
Gil of her husbands will suspending
the distribution of his residuary es-
tate until the unborn youngest son Of
the testator's five-year-old grandson
attained the age of twentyone years,
Major Plimley, chief clerk of the bu-
reau of elections. the first witness call
ed to-day, testified that he had exam
ined the records and had failed to find
that Mr.. Plant had voted here from 1881
until the time of his death. The
Widows contention is that her husband
was legal resident of this city and
merely pretended to have been a resi-
dent of New Haven, in which city the
said third codicil had been executed on
June 20, 1899.
Miss Fannie Kinds, the Plant house
keeper, was asked a number of ques-
tions as to conversations in the house
hold and details of journeys. Mrs.
Plant testified that she had lived ON
Fifth avenue for the past twenty-seven
years and that both she and her hus"
band had considered it their home in
every sense. Mrs. Plant was, on the
stand most of the afternoon. Albert B.
Plant, of Branford, Conn.,, distant
relative of the deceased millionaire,
testified that he had always understood
that New York was the legal residence
of Mr.. Plant. The case will be con-
tinued Saturday.

standerton, Wednesday. Jan. 49,
Colville's mobile column, marching
from New Denmark to vlaklaagte, was
attacked by one thousand Beers, divid-
ed into two forces. One force made q
determined attempt on the baggage,
and the other on the cavalry constitut-
ing the rear guard.
The cavalry were compelled to retire
until protected by four companies Of
rifles hidden behind ridge, who were
waiting with bayonets. The Beers then
made a speedy retreat, leaving several
dead and wounded from the heavy Brit
ish fire Eventually both attacks were
repulsed, the Beers losing heavily. The
British were not able Nto pursue the
Beers owing to the necessity of pro-
tecting their baggage. Their casualties
were one killed and fifteen wounded.
London Jan. 17.-General Kitchener,
telegraphing from Pretoria, under date
of Wednesday, January 16, says the
concentration Of 5000 Beers at Carolina
(TransvaaD is reported. He adds that
Colville's mobile column was engaged
near Van Tondes Hoek, and that the
Beers were driven off with heavy loss.
London, Jan. 1S.-Lord Roberts, who
was entertained privately at dinner last
evening by the United Service club, the
guests including the Prince of Wales,
the Duke Of York, the Duke of Cam
bridge and some three hundred off,
GERS, has issued from the war office a
stirring appeal to the country for
prompt response to the call for 5000
yeomanry, whose past services in Soutr
Africa he highly commends to the graf
itude of the nation.
The authorities continue to hold
hopeful view regard the South African
situation, but they seem to recognize
that vigorous measures are necessary.
The proclamation Of martial law
throughout almost the whole of Cape
Colony, Lord Kitcheners strong meas.
ures against the population of the re-
publlcs, the placing on reduced rations
of the wives Of men on commando, and
similar measures go TO show that there
is still heavy work ahead.
British offensive operations have ceas-
ed for the present. 1t is supposed that
Lord Kitchener is collecting his
for a final effort to crush or
to capture the commanders by a repe-
tition of the tactics which caused the
of General Cronje and Gen.
eral Prinsloo.
1t is alleged that the Beers who are
at Carolina and Ermele
are preparing to descend into Natal The
casualty list issued yesterday shows
that the Beers have released 297 british
who were captured at Helvetia and
Belfast. The facts regarding the cap
lures at Belfast have not yet been al
lowed to transpire.
1t is asserted that more heavy naval
guns will be landed at the Cape. In
formation as to the doings of the in
vaders is hard to obtain; but it is clear
that they are getting very little help
from the Dutch. Twice they attempted
to capture Barxley East, but both times
they We're repulsed. For three days
hey occupied Sutherland, but they
cleared out on the approach of Brit
sh column. Small parties are reported
operating in various parts of the Ceres
district. Apparently the invaders aban-
1oned the idea Of attacking Clan Will
lam on finding the town well defended. |
