 PAID HALF MILLION
From Scientific Standpoint the Question of Ocean Iele-

New York, January 4-The Herald to- morrow will say:
 According to the statements of Mlchaei Idyorsky Pupin, of Columbia University, the American Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company has paid him instead of the Szoo,- 900 as originally stated, nearly $5oo,ooo TOT his invention of a system by which ocean telephony is made possible This is ln aooi- tion to the annual royalty of s25,ooo per year during the life of the patent.
 Professor Pupin returned to Columpla yesterday and was greatly surprised to learn that his invention had been made public.
 .The Bell Company has tested the inven- tion or six months" he said, and express themselves as perfectly satisfied with It. The question of ocean telephony IS solved from a scientific standpoint, and there now only remains the commercial question. There is no doubt that as soon as the imam cial part of the matter is settled It VIII De perfectly possible to telephone to San Fran cisco and London and to send cable mes- sages to Europe at far less cost than at present"

ceorae Monroe Gets Decision.

Hot Springs, Ark, January l4.-f1fteen hundred people witnessed hght tonight in the arena of the Wilmington Park Clun between Casper Leon, of New York, and George Monroe, of Chicago. The contest was for twenty rounds. 1t lasted the limit
 and was fast from start to finish. The men are in the featherweight class and were spendidly matched. Monroe maintained aggressive tactics throughout the battle, but did not display as much science as Leon. Contrary to the expectations of many of the spectators who exp ted a draw, Referee Bat Masterson gave the de- cision to Monroe. At the announcement of the same, Leon threw up both hands and protested. Many people, however regarded the decision as just, giving Masterson cred it for deciding the fight upon it's merits.

ARE
 HARD 0N CADETS
First Class Men at West Point Conceited, Arrogant and
 Ignorant

West Point N. Y, January H.-The congressional investiga ting committee held three sessions at West Point Military Academy today. The first two sessions were occupied in the examination of Louis Brown, Jr., of Newport, R. l., who was one of Cadet Kellers seconds in his fight with Boos
 From the line of examination adopted by the committee the Congressmen are evil dently bent on the abolition of hazing and fighting at the academy. They put Brown through an exhaustive examination, in the course of which they elicited the fact that in violation of the rules and regulations of the institution the upper class men carry intoxicating liquor into the reserva- tion and consume quite a considerable quantity of it.
 Another stringent rule seems to have been broken with impunity. This is the regulation prohibiting smoking. Cadet Brown ackno owledged that the majority of the cadets were cigarette smokers, and that plenty of cigarettes were smuggled into the institution.
 General Dick, Judge Smith and MT. Driggs handled Brown without gloves. MT Driggs told him that the first class men thought they were the whole thing, and Judge Smith said that they were con- ceited, arrogant and ignorant in their pre- sumption of settling their judgment against that of the authorities of the academy.
