 DRUGGISTS KICKING NOW.
They Object to Government Dfstri- button of BInckIee Cure and
 Tetauus serum.

New York. Feb. "A special to the Herald from Washington says:
 Following the compaint of the seed dealers that the distribution ot flower and garden seeds by the de partment of agriculture is breaking ap their business. a delegation oi wholesale druggists appeared before the senate committee on agriculture and complained of the effect upor thir business of the distribution oi their remedies for diseases of domes tic animals.
 The druggists told the committes that the agricultural department had practically broken their trade in vacs cine for the cure and prevention of blackleg among cattle. Of this one remedy the depart rtment had distrib- uted, free of charge, 1.19O,00o doses Complaint was also made of the free distribution of tetanus serum.
 The druggists say if blackleg was a disease that could be completely stamped out by flooding the country with the Tt medy, there would be some reason for the action of the depart ment. They contend that even if all the existing cases should be cured it would break out again.

SENATOR GEORGE GRAHAM VEST. us what to do. After we have turned Cuba over to the Cubans, we then must become the protector of their country. We must say to all the world:
 z" Hands of while Cuba is working out for herself the problem of. self government.
 TT confidently believe that after they struggle awhile with the tre- mendous problem of self government, they will give it up and seek annexa- ton to the United States. For years l have been convinced that this is the ultimate destiny of Cuba. l welcomed the Spanish war as a means for hast ening this end. l agree with the sug- gestion of Mir. Jefferson, made nearly hundred years ago, that we need Cuba to round out our territorial do- main. On the question of the debt placed upon the Cuban revenues in the last days of Spanish sovereignty, Mir. Vest said:
 Il suppose that debt wil havo +N hs discharged after things get settled in Cuba. But probably this can be done by arbitration. Under no circum. stances, however, should this country he held as security for that debt."

HAZ|NG 1T WEST POINT.
Legislation for Its Suppression in the Military Academy Ap-
 propriation Bill.
PLAIN, STRAIGHTFORWARD WORDING.
A Provision for Summary Expulsion of Any Cadet Found Guilty of Participating Encouraging or Countenancing Hasing. without Hope of Reinstate ment.

Washington, Feb. 6.-In the senate, after the disposition of routine busi- ness, consideration of the military academy appropriation bill then was resumed, the pending question being the amendment offered by Mir. Allen (Neb.). providing that cadets upon entering the acadamy should take an oath not to engage in hazing. and i! found guilty be dismissed from the academy and not beeligible fhereafte 10 hold position either in the army or in the navy of tle United States.
 Mir. Sewell (N. J.). in charge of the bill, opposed the amendment. main tanning that the provision against haz- ing in the bill was sufficient.
 In supporting the amendment, MT. Allen asserted that the brutal prac- tice of assaulting another who was his junior had been carried to a ris diculous extent at the military acade- my, and he believed ii would never be broken up until the most rigid meas ures were taken in good fath to put an end to it.
 Alter further DISCUSSION MT. Alien withdrew his amendment, and offered some amendments making stronger the phraseology of the committees amendment relating to hazing. As agreed to, the hazing paragraph reads as follows:
 That the superintendent of the
 military academy shall make such rules, to be approved by the sec
 retary of war, as will effectually prevnt the practice of hazing: and
 any cadet found guilty of partici- patton in or encouraging or coun- enancing such practice. shall be summarily expelled from the acad-
 emy and shall not thereafter be reappointed to the corps of cadets
 or be eligible for appointment as commissioned officer in the army or navy"
 The bill as amended then was was passed.
 Mir. Aldrich (R. I) called up the war revenue reduction bill and it was read.

 Undoubtedly we have no moro right or power to amend the Cuban constitution by act of congress than we would have to do so with the con- stitution of France or any other for eign country. We arc estopped from this both by the Teller resolution and the decision of the supreme court in the Nicely case declaring Cuba to be a foreign country. When the Cubans adopt their constitution and form their government, we are solemnly pledged to give them absolte and com plete independence. There is no way of our getting around this, even if we wanted to, because the law directs

 Alliance.
EMPEROR AND CHAR NAY VISIT EDWARD.
A Special Chinese Ambassador to Convey Emperor kwang Hsu's Condolences to kfng Edward Queen Sophia of Sweden and Nor way nI-Latess From Kitchener.

New York, Feb. "A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from Lon- don says:
 Delicate negotiations are passing between the courts of Russia and En- gland looking to marriage between the Grand Duke Michael, younger brother of the czar, and heir presump- tive to the throne and Princess Vic toria, only unmarried daughter of the king of England. Standing in the way of the marriage is the ironclad law of the Russian church forbidding marriages between first cousins. The czarowitz, Grand Duke Michael Alex androvitch, is son of the dowager empress of Russia, who is a sister of Queen Alexandra of England, the mother of Princess Victoria.
 A dispensation from the czar would be necessary for such a match, and it is extremely doubtful if Nicholas would grant such a dispensation, for he refused it when Michael wanted to marry another first cousin, Princess Helene, daughter of the Grand Duke Vladimir.
