SOLDIERS AND THEIR ROWS.
Troubles That Occur and the Methods
of Settlement.

The investigation of hazing at West
Point has shown that the cadets do their
fgb ting with their fists according to the
rules of the prize ring. In the German uni
yersities there is the well known custom OF
duels with foils. The students are in no
danger except from scars on the face be-
cause the duelists are protected with
quilted cuirasses over the chest and metal
yisors over the eyes. The scars on the
cheeks are considered honorable and it
may be suspected that the young men are
glad 20 wear them.
The fist fights at West Point are sup
posed to be winked at by the faculty, but
when the cadets become officers in the
army they are not permitted to engage in
duels, and it would certainly be undigni-
fed and ridiculous on the part of officers
and gentlemen to fight with their fists.
In Germany and France the officers are
expected to fight dueIs. when epithets are
handled. but in England and America the
duel is prohibited in the army, as well as
among civilians.
The only recourse of an officer of the
United States Army, if he is insulted by
another officer is to file charges against
him. 1t would seem, of course. that it is
Objectionable to report a man for apply
ing an epitbet to the complainant but.
when the rule against fighting is so strin-
works as well or better than the code in
the European Continental armies It's eff
feet is to prevent officers from engaging
in alterations which may lead to an in
suit and blow. Calling brother officer
liar or striking blow means. usually,
dismissal from the service. 1t did not
happen to do so in the case of General
Pagan, who called General Miles all kinds
of a liar in a public hearing held by the
extraordinary board of enquiry into the
scandals of the War Department. But, if
an ordinary lieutenant should call
another only one kind of liar he would be
dismissed.
The disappearance of the duel in America
and England was for three reasons One
was that it had given rise to the profess
sional duelist or bully Another was the
fatality of fighting with pistols and the
third was the fact that because a man
happened to be insulted or injured was no
reason why he should also be killed. JUS
tlce did not always give an accurate aim
to the cOmbatant who deserved to sur
vive Fighting with rapiers admits of
ending the combat with wound in the
arm or shoulder, but this style of duel
would excite public derisiOn in England
and America.
An engagement with sabres Is bloody
and brutal. Pistols are in better form,
but more deadly than all other weapons.
The necessity for controlling the tongue
because fighting is prohibited seems 10 be
fully as effectual as the old idea that,
when harsh words mean a duel, there
would be careful pOliteness. The United
States Army officer, to his credit he it
said. uses polite language to his brother
officers, not because anything elsa might
bring a challenge, but because he can't
fight without great risk to his job.

reached within five feet of the top, where
he had the same experience. An eagle
seemed literally to tumble out of the sky
on to him, kissing and screaming a
feathered fury bent on his destruction
At this point of the rock part of the de-
bris of the old nest had rolled down, and
among it was a limb of a tree. which the
climber grasped; as the eagle struck at
him he thrust it directing in its face and
pushed it off, his position being such that
he could not strike. The bird merely fell
away to regain its equilibrium then
turned and plunged at him again V it'll
loud and discordant cries. The man struck
at the bird with his knife. but missed it,
and one of the claws fastened into his
clothes and became entangled; then sud
denly he lost his balance and fell against
the rope, which broke, and man and bid
went plunging into the sea. The fact
that the birds talon had caught in his
clothing undoubtedly saved the egg hunt
er's life. as the bird as soon as it struck
the water began to try to fly. and actually
helped the man out of the keip bed into
which they had fallen, then, by its strug
giles freeing itself. allowing the man 10
swim to the rock, where he was hauled
up by his companion.
Another eagle was now wheeling about
the nest, and as 1t was evident that there
were young in it the idea of reaching it
was abandoned. Upon investigation it was
found that the boat was damaged beyond
repair, and as the swim to the place where
they could climb the cliff was too long
and dangerous the adventurers were
obliged to wait for a boat. That night the
sea rose. but they crawled into crevice
on the lee side. where they sat SILVER
ing with cold, until morning. then finding
themselves in a seething caldron where re-
lease was impossible. At low tide they
caught limpets and some abaloEes, but the
lack of water began to tell on them that
night. and they determined to make the
attempt to swim around the point of the
island. AS good fortune would have il.
the sea went down later in the day. and
early the following morning they were
rescued by a passing boat after a series
OF attempts, being hauled through the surf

experiences at the islands when robbing

The Sultan and the Auto.



The Sultan writes our Cou.tantinope CORE
spondent, is always fond Of new inventions. es-
pecially anything mechanical, and takes great
interest in them. The palace is full OF models
of all sorts Of machines from typewriters to an
electric launch. His last acquisition Is i motor
car. which he had instructed Chakir Pasha to
bring back from Berlin, where he had been sent
to take the Sultan's present Of i carriage and
ponies to the crown princess Chakir Pasha
brought the motor-car and with it German en-
gineer so as to make sure it would work
smoothly Last sunday the sultan ordered that
the machine should be tried ia the palace grounds
and stationed himself at window to watch the
proceedings. Round about the machine large
crowd of officials and servants had gathered. The
German engineer vainly tried TO persuade sons
OF them to ride with him, but no one would ven
ture and as the Sultan growing impatient,
the engineer prepared to start alone. As the
steam was turned on the engine began throbbng
and emitting some awful noises, and almost In
simultaneously the whole crowd OF onlookers dis
appeared under the firm conviction that they
would be blown up by an internal machine. II
was only after the engineer had driven about
for some time. and showed he had complete
control that the spectators ventured back and
then the Sultan insisted several of them taking
rides. He did not try it himself.

An ImpracticabIe Idea.


From The IouIsvlIIe Courier-JournaI)
A Harvard professor said at the Detroit meet
ing OF the American Historical Association that
the removal Of the negro from the South and
colonization elsewhere would kill the Southern
States. There those who thought that the
abolition OF slavery would kill the Southern
States but ia the long il did not turn out
that way The removal Of the negroes from the
Southern States would produce, no doubt, great
temporary inconvenience and loss, but In the end
a better class OF labor would be secured. 1t is
useless to discuss the question, however, as a
practical measure, as il Is msnitestly impossible
to accomplish il. Those who are trying to solve
the negro problem may as well leave out colon
ization.

Steel Rails in the south.


INEtIIIFIsT
The manufacture OF steel rails in the SdiIth
has not only passed the experimental stage,
but it has been demonstrated that steel can be
made in the Birmingham region cheaper than
anywhere else in the world. Another great steel
mill is in process of construction near Birning-
ham, and there is nothing in sight to prevent
the immense expansion OF the iron and steel
industry OF Alabama. Southern steel will have
a practically unlimited market both at home
and abroad, and this means that another source
of prosperity and wealth is opening for the
