In a report to the State Department In re-
gard to the use of artificial coal in Ger
many, United States Consul Franken hal at
Berne says that a workman named Moniag
employed in a dye and soda factory near
Mannheim has invented a substi for coal
which is attracting considerable attention.
Peat Is the basis of the new fuel with the
addition of cer. ain chemicals, which up to
the present time are known only to the in
ventor The product costs about % cents
per 220 pounds to manufacture and gives
a great heat. burning win bright flame
and leaving no Stag and only small guam
tity of while ash 1t is said that the peat
is thoroughly dried, ground by machine,
mixed with the chemicals and pressed into
brick shape. Certain Mannheim capitalists
have tried to purchase the secret Of the
invention but the inventor has so far re-
fused all offers on the plea hat he wants
to control the sale of the product himself.
He has entered into partnership with the
secre airy of the Mannheim chamber Of COM
merce, and they have arranged for he es-
tablishment of a large plant near Hocken-
helm, which will employ several hundred
workmen and turn out about sixty tons OF

CLEVELAND ON HAZING.
siean, COwardIy and Opposed to Every
GentIemanly Trait.

As pertinent to the recent hazing inquiry
at West Point it may be of interest TO re-
call the action of President Cleveland IN
two cases Of hazing at the Military Acad-
emy during his second administration. In
one of these cases Cadet Giles Bishop, jr.,
of the third class was convicted by court
martial Of violating the regulations OF the
academy. in that he inflicted arbitrary pun
ishment on Cadets C. j. Harris and W. 5.
Neely. both of the fourth class by requir-
ing them to stand on one foot in con-
strained and painful position and thus did
torment annoy and harass' them. In ap-
proving the sentence of dismissal in this
case President Cleveland said:
1.-THE offense of maltreating and ABUSING
new cadets by upper class men is so mean
and cowardly and so opposed to every trait
that should characterize a gentleman and
true soldier that severe punishment
should not be necessary to its prevention
If, however, punishment must be resorted
to to effect Il discontinuance of this dis
graceful practice. I can do no less than
resist all appeals for clemency."
In the other case Cadet Fl. s. Commager
of the third class was similarly convicted
of q violation of the regulations, and SEN
fenced to dismissal. 1t was shown that he
required Cadet ]. W. Wilen OF the fourth
class to perform a gymnastic exercise
known as the fourteenth setting-up eXer-
else" or as the "full-bend leg exercise" of
the infantry drill regulations. and while
WHEN was performing the exercise COM
PEELED him to keep his arms raised horizon

President Cleveland approved the sentence
In this case. and said: Il am determined

proof is clear. to refuse relief to those ca
diets who. In violation of a wholesome reg
ulation of the Military Academy. In 'ulge

GIRL IN BLUE FINED.
Maximum Penalty Imposed Upon the
Variety Dancer.

Before hearing argument on the NJ lie
De Leon case in the Police Court today
Judge Kimball called Acting Lieutenant
Jordan to the stand and questioned him as
to the ages Of the members of the male
sex who were present at the performance
In the Bijou Theater, which resulted in the
arrest Wednesday night of the young wo-
man named, and who is styled on the
bills "The Girl in Blue" Lieut.. Jordan re-
piled that the ages of those present varied
from thirteen to seventy-five years.
Sergeant Hodges, who took the stand at
the request of Mr. Campbell CARING on,
SAID he witnessed the performance by the
defendant yesterday afternoon, and that
there was nothing Objectionable in her ac-
lions.
Mr. Darlington made lengthy argument
In behalf of his client, to which Prosecutor
Pugh made reply. During the address of
the latter he said he had been in hopes
that Miss De Leon would have given an
exhibition of the dance complained of to
the court.
Mr.. Darlington at once said the defend
ant was perfectly willing to do that The
prosecutor said it was too late to offer evil
dence in the case, and Judge kimball said
he had no desire to see the young womans
performance.
At the close of Mr. Pughs argument
Judge Kimball reviewed the testimony at
some length. Mention. had been made. he
said, that this dance had not been in.er-
fered with in New York. According to
common report many things are permitted
in New York that would not be allowed for
moment in Washington, and. after ex-
planning his reasons for believing the de-
PENDANT guilty, said the charge was fully
smade out and beyond any question.
Mr.. Darlington made an appeal for a
light sentence for Miss De Leon. Judge
kimball said the maximum punishment for
the offense was SO small, being but SIS,
that he would not feel justified in making
1t less than that.
Mr.. Caring on then made motions for ar
rest of judgment and for a new trial and
further gave notice that he intended to
take the case to the Court of Appeals.
Judge Kimball will pass upon the motions
at later day.

Cos, os Protected Cruisers.

II has been believed in some quarters that
the three protected cruisers cannot be built
within the limit of cost fixed by the appro-
priation. calculation based on the price
to be paid for the unsheathed armored cruis-
ers tends. however to disprove this theory.
The average cost of the three unsheathed
armored cruisers of 1900 tons trial dis
placement and % knots speed is to be 3d.
16s. 3:s3 each, or $2SI.22 per ton. AT that
rate a cruiser of a.7OO tons displacement
would cost $2,127 .S34, or 81, 166 less than
the sum appropriated, namely, s.. SOC. 600.
As about 500 900 will be required for armor
out of the sum appropriated it has been
found necessary to eliminate certain items
from the specifications. as I'm the case of
the sheathed battle ships Cramps contract
price for the Maine, an lS-knot battle ship
of IL 800 tons trial displacement, was 81, :
80 90, or $23S per ton.
