OPPOSITION TO MIR. KNOX.
Western Republicans Regard His En-
pectcd Selection With DlsfavOr.


The report that Philip c. Knox of Pitts
General has excited considerable opposi-
tion in Congress to the selection.
Among western republicans in Congress
the suggestion is received with marked dis
favor. and there has been much hostile
discussion, and the idea of suggesting to
the President objections to the selection has
received some consideration.
The objection advanced against Mr..
KnoX's selection for Attorney General is
that he Is attorney for the iron and steel
interests at a large compensation, and
that his giving up this lucrative practice to
when the gigantic steel combination IS
being formed, would provoke wide criti-
cism. 1t is suggested that the steel trust
formed by a combination of interests with
which, 1t is said, Mr.. Knox has long been
associated in legal capacity, may come
within the operations of the Sherman anti
trust law and that 1t might become the
duty of the Attorney General to decide
whether or not prosecutions should be In
stituted.
Under the circumstances it is eaid
though Mr.. Knox might make an admir-
able Attorney General, 1t would provoke
public clamor and be a great political
mistake to have a corporation lawyer who
had been especially associated with these
particular interests and naturally expected
to be friendly to them, occupying the posi-
ton Of Attorney General.
Republican members of the House who
did not care to be publicly quoted by name
on the subject told a Star reporter this
morning that there was very strong feel
ing that it would be a grave mistake for
the reasons given, on the part OF the Presi-
dent to make the appointment, whatever
might be his confidence in the sterling In
tegrity and superior ability Of Mr.. Knox.

TRAFFIC IN JAPANESE WOMEN.
Native Convicted of Attempting Il
Bribe an Inspector.

Mr.. Powderly, commissioner of immigra
cisco that H Morli, japanese, has been
sentenced to years Imprisonment there
for attempting to bribe one of the immigra-
ton inspectors of the port. Morli called at
the immigration Office one day and asked
Inspector II. II. Schell for 4 private inter-
view. His manner aroused the suspicious
of the inspector. and before he admitted
Morli to his private office he summoned
Inspector Frank Enselcke and concealed
him behind a screen, where he could wit
ness and hear all that was going on. When
Morli came in he proposed to Scnell that
the lattet admit a number of Japanese
women that had just arrived on the steam
ship CITY of Pekin. If Scheil would do SO
he would pay him 50 for each woman
landed. Schen appeared to agree to the
scheme, and Morli paid him 80 for the
landing of one woman named Yuma guchi.
Inspector Engelcke stepped out from be-
hind the screen at the moment Morli passed
the money to Schell and placed him under
arrest. His trial resulted in proving the
attempted bribery charge, and his punish
ment was fixed at one year in the San
Francisco jail. THIS is the third convic-
ton of japanese for attempted bribery in
months The traffic in Japanese women is
said to have been carried on in San Fran
cisco very extensively and to have netted
the merchants vast sums. The price paid
the importers of women is said to have
ranged all the way from $500 to $1,000 each.

HAZING AT WEST POINT.
An Army Officers Statement as to Pro
posed Punishment.

at is very evident said an officer Of the
army today, from the discussion in the
Senate yesterday the subject of hazing
at the Military Academy that few, IL any,
Of the senators know that the standing
regulations of the academy already provide
for the dismissal of any cadet convicted of
hazing, and that a matter of fact, the
Secretary Of War has recently dismissed
two cadets at the academy for that offense.
There has never been any question to
the power Of the War Department to dis
miss cadets for hazing, and that power has
been frequently exercised before, during
and since the administration of President
Cleveland. 1t would therefore appear that
there is no special necessity, for additional
legislation on that point. It is different,
however, with the proposition to add to the
severity of the punishment by providing
that a cadet convicted of haZng shall be
forever thereafter debarred from holding
office in the army. navy or marine corps.
That is drastic penalty and it is eNces-
sive and unnecessarily severe. In the opin-
ion OF many officers of the army, even
those who believe in maintain the most
rigid discipline.
