HAZING STILL CONTINUES.
Several Cadets Dismissed for Viola
tiOns of the Rules.

Washington. May H.-Secretary Root
has approved the action of the board of
officers at West Point, which recommend
ed the dismissal of five cadets and the
suspension of six others This sustains
the course of Col Mills, and the other
officers in the recent disturbances at the
Academy.
The names of the cadets dismissed and
suspended will be announced at the Mill
tary Academy at noon tomorrow.
1t is said that the cadets had been guilty
of acts which would not be serious in an
other college, but owing to the fact that
these young men were educated by the
government institution, to learn obedience,
and to learn how 10 command men them
selves, it was necessary for them to be
under somewhat more rigid discipline,
The trouble grew out of attempts to sup
press hazing. Although promises of the
suppression of hazing have been made,
'bracing' still has been carried on against
the orders of the officials. Glass officers
have failed to report cases of bracing.
There also is the case of Cadet Ralston,
who was reduced for not reporting mis-
behavior at the mess table. These class
officers were reduced, and some minor
punishment inflicted. The mutiny or in
supordination grew out of the resentment
of the second class men, who have been
at the academy three years,
at these punishments inflicted by the
academy officials. Ii took the form of
such offenses toward the superintendent
as training the gun upon his quarters and
in other acts of which the academy Off
GERS could not but take notice This 1e-
suited in the trials and sentences to dis
missal approved by the Secretary of War
to-day.
There are two other courtmartial cases
in the academy pending in the department
where cadets have been sentenced to dis
missal. There is rule at the academy
that cadet invited out to dinner can be
excused and leave the post. Two cadets
invited each other TO dinner and made
this their excuse for absence. Their ruse
was discovered.

morrow will say:
There is little doubt that the last OBJ
stacles in the way of the CrampVickers-
Bethlehem combination have been remov-
ed and that the official announcement of
the completion of the arrangement Is
now question of few hours only.
1t was announced yesterday on what
appears to be the best authority that the
Vickers company has obtained an option
on the Bethlehem Steel Company at a
price bordering on 23 The option is also
said to include the Bethlehem Iron Com
pany stock at about the present market
price of 6S.
In order to complete the transaction the
New York syndicate, which is to under
write the present combina ton, has been
compelled to raise about $15,OO000O in ac-
tNal cash, as it is entirely money trans
action, and fully that much will be re-
quired to purchase the two Bethlehem
companies stock. 1t will take $7,000O0G
TO buy the Bethlehem steel stock.
Negotiations have been on for several
weeks, and 1t has been within the last
few days that satisfactory arrangements
were made with the Bethlehem interests.
One block representing $1,000 shares of
stock, was in charge of two prominent
Philadelphia financiers, whose agreement
to a price yesterday is said to have per-
fected the arrangement.
Stockholders of the Cramp Company
will, 1t is said. have the option of taking
cash or exchanging their holdings, share
for share, for a per cent preferred stock
in the new company. There is 100000
worth of Cramp stock and SIS 100000 cash
Will be necessary to buy out Bethlehem.
Enough stock will be sold to provide
at least $5OO0,OO0 working capital and the

EDISON'S LATEST INVENTION.
A New Storage Battery That Is said

New York. May 21.-At the annual meet
ing OF the American Institute of Electri-
cal Engineers held here tonight, Arthur
Kennedy. ex-president of the institute.
read technical paper on a new storage
battery invented and perfected by Thomas
A. Edison.
From this report and from the discus
sion thereon by the members of the in
stitute, which followed, It would seem
that the new invention IL of
great interest. scientifically, me-
chanically and chemically. It has,
as yet, not been applied to
commercial use. According to DR.. Ken
nelly's report. Edison claims that
weight for weight, size and cost being
equal, the new storage battery VIII do
about two and one-half times as much
work as the present battery of commerce.
As an illustration it Is claimed that where
an automobile will run fifty miles with
the new Edison batteries the same vehicle
Will run about 125 miles. The fact that
the cell and plates Of this new battery
are made of steel is departure long
sought after.

COLLEGE CONSOLIDATION.
TOPIC CAUSES WARM DISCUSSION
AT LITTLE ROCK.

Plan to Consolidate Louisville TheO-
logical Seminary, Southern, and
DanvilIe Theological Seminary,
Northern, Meets With Much Oppo-
sition-The Adverse Majority Re-
port Contends That the Basis of
Union Proposed Would Lead to Or
ganic Union Between the Northern
and Southern Churches.
Little Rock, Ark, May H.-In the
Southern Presbyterian General Assembly
to-day there was much oratory on the
question of consolidating the Louisville
Theological Seminary, Southern. and the
Danville Theological Seminary, Northern,
Opponents of consolidation maintained
that it was either a movement into the
Northern church or would cause friction.
Advocates of consolidation argued that
the two churches were under the same
standards. Final action was not taken
to-day, the matter going over until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning. A majority
report, adverse to consolidation, was pre-
sented by Rev. S. z. Morris of Macon,
Ga, and the contrary minority report was
submitted by Col. Thomas w. Bullitt of
Louisville, KY. The majority contended
that the basis upon which it was pro-
posed to unite the two semnaries natural
ly and logically leads to organic union
between the Northern and Southern
churches and that it would exclude the
teaching of the Southern churchs distinc-
tive principles.
DR.. Morris addressed the assembly at
length and argued that consolidation
would cause entanglements in the South
ern church.
Col Bullitt spoke over two hours in
advocacy of giving the general assemblys
consent to consolidation. DR.. T. c. john
son of Richmond, Va, followed in an ex-
tended argument against consolidation
and the tendency to organic union.
A Rather Strained View.
At the moring session a motion to ac-
cept the invitation of Omer r. Weaver
Camp, Tilted Confederate Veterans, to at
tend Confederate decoration exercises
Thursday brought forth a storm of oppo-
sition on the ground that the position of
the church for forty years had been to
refrain from commingling church and po-
litical affairs. The motion was finally
amended so as to express profound SYM
pathy with the occasion and to regret
that lack of time preculded attendance
by the commissioners at the exercises.
In this shape the motion prevailed The
Committee on Christian Education rec
commended that Rev. r. c. Reed of Co
lumbia S. c., be made chairman of the
Committee on the Twentieth Century
Fund and the recommendation was rati-
fed by the assembly.

Fillmore Greatly Damaged.
Charlotte N. c.. May 21.--A special to
the Observer from Asheville says:
The heaviest and most disastrous rain
fell to-day in Ashevile and the surround
ing country that has visited this vicinity
in years. Bottom land is ruined and hill
sdes are yawning gulches. Bridges are
gone and many roads are impossible.
The water is up to the floors in many
dwellings and has reached the fire in the
electric light plant. The city is in dark
ness. The waters of the French Broad
and Swanannoa rivers have reached the
highest point on record. The water is a
foot deep in the Ice factory and -four
mills.
At Bihmore the Southern Railway
tracks were washed out or place and
twisted into all sorts of shapes.
Hundreds of Asheville people have flock
ed to Biltmore to-day to see the damage
done to the ideal village OF Mr.. Wander
bilt. When the millionaire and his ad-
visers planned the town an insignificant
creek was not taken into account. To-
day this stream did surprising damage.
One row of cottages was flooded and the
people forced to move their belongings 10
the upper floors. Some beautifully paved
streets were covered with rubbish. Small
trestles at Biltmore and on the main
lines of the Southern and spartanburg
and Asheville roads were washed away.
and no train will be operated on either
line before tomorrow

posaI Not Favored.
washington, May 21.-The State Depart
rnent has been made fully acquainted by
Mr. Rockhill with the character of the
proposition relative to the floating of the
indemnity loan unfolded at Pekin. While
grave objections are perceived at the Rus
sian project for a joint guarantee of the
securing the assent of Congress to an
agreement which would entangle the
United States with foreign nations for
more than quarter of century at least,
there is nothing in Mr.. RockhilPs instruc-
tIons that would antagonize the English
proposition, provided it is fully developed
so as TO secure the safety of the loan,
while assuring the integrity of China. 1t
is suggested that the objects can best be
secured by causing China to deliver to
each nation bonds bearing 4 per cent. in
terest. to the face value of that nations
indemnity claim.
The claim for the collection and dis
tribution of interest contains the germ of
the guarantee of Chinese integrity. 1t
is proposed that an international board
of fnanciers collect periodically from Chi
ma, the amount of income which the min
listers at Pekin have decided can be ex-
tracted without running the country This
money to be divided up between the pow
ers in the shape of interest in exact pro-
portion TO the bonds held by them. In
case of default by China, each nation will
lose in proportion, and a special conven-
ton will bind each Power to refrain from
individual action against China 10 Sc
cure the payment of arrears, or to seize
territory in lieu of interest in default.
1t is calculated that thus each Power will
find to its interest TO prevent division
of China.

BRITAIN'S POSITION STATED.

Wants Nothing to Do With Joint
Guarantee of China's Indemnity.
London, May 21.-The government was
questioned in the House of Commons to-
day on the subject of the British tug Ewo
incident at Tien Tsin. Lord Cranborne, in
reply, said Field Marshal Won Waldersee
had expressed his regret and had promised
to take measures to prevent the recur-
renee of similar incidents.
Lord Cranborne proceeded to make
general statement on the China question,
saying the government was unalteraoly
opposed to raising the import duties Of
10 per cent. as security for the payment
of the indemnity. In regard to the pro-
posai that the indemnity be betrayed by
a loan guaranteed by a concert of the
Powers, if such loan was guaranteed
Il would have to be by the joint force of
all the Powers. The objection to a Joint
guarantee, however, was so obvious that
the government would have nothing to
do with it.
