a commander Of fighting men, and rough
ness is sometimes necessary. He always
has the right to resent such treatment,
and this brings me to my second point.
If the youngster feels that he has been
treated unfairly or brutally, he has the
right to resent it, and the method of get
ting satisfaction is wholly different from
that at West Point. The aggrieved young
ster says in effect to some representative
member of the class from which he has re-
ceiyed affront: "A member of your class
has treated me with indignity or unfair
ness, and 1 demand satisfaction If there
Is the slightest color to his complaint he
will be accommodated. But the difference
between West Point and Annapolis is in
the method by which such satisfaction is
secured At West Point the upper class
men select the man who Is to fight the
youngster. At Annapolis the youngster mas
the right to choose the man he is to fight.
He says in effect to the upper class: one
Of your members has insulted me. He is
my superior, physically, but l demand sat
isfaction from an equal. YOU are, COL
lecttvely and individually, responsible for
the doings of each member of your class:
So 1 select Mr.. John Doe to fight me-. or
course Mr. John Doe has to fight, though
he has ne interest except class interest,"
in the scrap. The same principle 49, OF
course, applied If the youngster is the ag-
gressor and Is called out by one of the up
per class men. Once In while this principe
takes wide latitude, and on one or two
class fights. 1t does not seem quite logi-
CAL but in practice 1t works out all right.
1t fastens spirit of pluck with absolute
fairness. This, I believe. is the character
istic of the United States naval officer.
Anything short of it will not go In the
navy for long"
The Happy Mean.
In conclusion, he commented on the turn
affairs have just taken at West Point in
the promise Of the cadets to abolish hazing
and fighting altogether. ut may work out
all right" he said, ''but 1t looks doubtful
to me- AS 1 remarked before, the primary
business of the army or naval officer is
to fight Whatever will tend to make him
plucky, while fostering the instincts Of a
gentleman, Is to be encouraged. He must
occupy the happy mean between the milk
sop, on the one hand, and the swashbuck-
ling brute on the other Hazing or run
ming, such as I knew 1T at Annapolis, in
my judgment, helped to strike this de-
sirable medium. 1t would seem that the
method Of hazing at West Point has tend
ed to develop brutality. There is dan
ger If the pendulum swings too far IN the
direction of reform that the change may
produce some military milk sops.'

STATUARY IN WASHINGTON,
Observations by n Citizen of the Cant

Observations by a Citizen of the Can't
tai in New York.
From the New York Tribune
1T has been stated, and 1 believe with
a certain degree Of TRUTH" said NJ. H. Hol-
lingsworth Of Washington, d. c.. at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday, that of all
the equestrian statues in the world more
than 90 per cent are located in WASHINGTON,
There Is an enormous number at the capital
and there Is hardly a view down a street
there that is not broken, ended or has in
the foreground the equestrian statue of
81 me one or other of our national heroes
Some of them are beautiful; some are not
Sc me are impressive and some are queer.
The statue of Jackson, which Is in Lafay-
cite Square, directly opposite the White
House, represents Old Hickory as seated
on prancing charger. When standing close
to the guard rail and facing the statue
nothing can be seen but the rearing steed
Mast years ago drew an effective caricature
OF this statue. sans Jackson, from the front
Mills equestrian Washington Is another
gem. The horse in this case is supplied
with neck that should have rightfuly be-
lcnged to swan. Among others of the
statues of the men on horseback may be
found those of Gen. Nathaniel Greene, by
Hancock by Henry ]. Elicott; Gen. James
b. Mcpherson, by James T. Robisso; Gen.
Winfield Scott, by H. K. Brown; Gen. Geo.
H. Thomas. by j. Q. A. Ward. and Gen.
these are shortly to be added an equestrian
statue Of Gen. William T. Sherman, on the
land just south of the Treasury Depart
ment, and one of Gen. John A Logan, to be
placed in Iowa Circle. The navy is repre-
sented by statues of Rear Admiral Francis
Dupont who captured Port Royal in 1861,
and by Admiral Farragut Admiral Dew
ey's house might also be included in the list,
but perhaps 1t more aptly might be called
a monument. 1t seems a little strange that
In this wealth Of equestrian statues with
which Washington is blessed there is not
one of Grant. Grant is the great popular
hero Of the civil war, yet there is no statue
of him at the capital.
Il for one do not understand 1t, and IL
also seems queer that no statue of Sheri-
dan has been erected there. Another thing
I do not wholly comprehend is why Grant is
buried here. 1t doesn't seem to me espe-
cially appropriate. 1t was his last home 1t
Is true, but for only very few years at
the very end of his life. He did not die
here, and If there was any doubt as to his
last resting place Washington should have
been chosen. There is no more beautiful
place in this country than Arlington, where
sleep more than 10000 of those who died
in defense of the Union. What could have
been more appropriate than that General
Grant should have found his final resting
place among those whom he had so gallant
ly led to victory2"

ATALANTA NOW A GUNBOAT.
Venezuelan Government Buys til
Yacht From Gearxe GauId

Yacht From George Gould.
The New York Herald Of today says:
With guns brlstling fore and aft, the Ven-
ezuelan cruiser Restaurador, formerly the
steam yacht ATLANTA, owned by George
Gould, lies at Pier 8, East river ready to
sail this morning for La Guayra. In COM
mand Of her Is Capt. jeremiah Merithew
formerly in the United States TRANSPORT
service, which he left after a court-martial.
Il volunteered for the navy" he said YES
terday, but 1 didn't have pull enough TO
get in Now I'd just as soon fight against It
as not. 1 shall deliver the Restaurador to
President Castro. If they want me to re-
main and command her and we can agree
on salary 1 will stay and fight her against
any power with which Venezeula may have
trouble"
The possibility of the Restaurador en-
countering the Scorpion in Venezuelan
waters was suggested to Capt Merithew
ut would be an interesting scrap wouldn' t
it?' he replied, laughing.
The cruiser carries seven guns There Is
a 3-inch bow chaser" forward and four
Hotchkiss 6-pounders, one on either side,
near the forward corners Of the deckhouse,
and two more on the quarters. Then there
are two rapid fire 2-pounders mounted on
wheels for use ashore or for landing parties.
Aside from the guns the appearance Of the
once graceful yacht has not been changed.
The Venezuelan government paid Mr..
Gould $125 600 for her. The Colombian gov
eminent had previously contracted to buy
the yacht, but after paying $50 900 Colombia
defaulted on the remainder of the purchase
price. and Venezuela got the vessel. She
was fitted out at Erie Basin.
G. E. LIE Brun, representing the Venezue-
Ian government, has come here to take
possession Of the cruiser officially, and will
return on board her. Capt. Merithew has a
crew of forty men, several of whom served
with him in the transport service. He SAYS
II he stays with the cruiser many of the
crew will stay with him. He said yesterday
that the cruiser would probably sail at 8
o'clock this morning. There will be gun
practice the way south.
international courtesy was extended to
the cruiser yesterday. She had gone outside
Sandy Hook Tuesday afternoon. Coming
into the harbor Capt. Merithew fired an in
ternational salute of twenty-one guns when
off Tompkinsville. Preparations were made
at Castle Williams to answer the salute
But it was after shutdown when the cruiser
passed the fort, and the regulations forbid
saIutes of that kind between suns. But al
sunrise yesterday Gen. Sheridan, at Gov
ernOr's Island ordered the salute fred.

made so much noise that he was afraid to
go above the first floor.
Failing to get the jewelry, he said, he
became disgusted and gave Carrigo every
thing except one overcoat. Cornell, it ap
pears, occupied two rooms, one on Missouri
avenue and the other E street north
west between 9th and 10th streets. Both
rooms were searched, and from the E
street house the detectives took pair Of
portieres, supposed to have been stolen.
While the police believe that Connell may
be able to throw some light on other rob-
berries, they stated this morning that they

FAMILY NAME IS victim.
The Plain COgnOmen of New Ruler of
England.

From the baltimore Sun.
What is the family name of the new King
Of England? 1t is always hard to differ
entiate this name from among the personal
o. hereditary accommodations of titles
which grouped themselves around the bap-
tismal name affected by royalty.
But the same principle which declares Will
liam Of Germany to be HohenZollern and
Francis Joseph of Austria to be Hapsburg
would make the late Queen Victoria a
Guelph by birth and her husband, the Prince
Consort, Victim. II royal wife takes
her husbands name and royal son his
fathers then Edward VII is a Victim.
Prince Albert, his father, was a prince
of the ruling house Of Saxe-Coburg, one Of
the most ancient and illustrious of the SOW
ereign families of Europe. Originally Counts
of Victim, the heads Of this family became
by inheritance and by marriage Margraves
of Nielsen, Landgraves Of Thurngia and
Electors of Saxony.
1t was through the misfortunes of Alberts
ancestor, John Frederick the Magnanimous,
that the direct line which he represented
was shorn of the sovereignty of Saxony and
other titular glories. which the Emperor
| Charles transferred to John Frederick 8
| cousin. Duke Maurice of Nielsen.
