WEST POINT
Secretary Root Urges That the
of Admission BE Revised.

WASHINGTON. June 15.-Secretary
Root has at last been abled to put into
practice his long cherished scheme for
raising the standards of admission to
West Point. The Secretary has urged
in his reports to Congress that the
standards be elevated for the reason
that a large part of the time of the
cadets at the military academy is nee
essarily given up to elementary studies
with which any high school boy should
be thoroughly familiar. By advancing
the standards to correspond to the grad
uating standards Of the high schools OF
the country, the Secretary believes that
he will be able to secure great economy
of time at West Point and considerably
advance the graduating standards of
that institution.
The Secretary finally secured the con-
sent of Congress, which authorized him
to fix the courses of study at the acad-
envy, and issued an order which goes
into effect on May LIST, adding English
literature. algebra and plane trigonom-
etry TO the present course

HAGUE ARBITRATION COURT
VOW Finds Favor in the Eyes of the
German vernm

German Government.
BERDIN, June 15.-F. w. Hollis,
united States member of The Hague
arDitratlon court, during an interview
to-day, informed the correspondent of
The Associated Press that the The
Hague arbitration court had only Just
been organized by the appointment of
the last of 90 judges, but several in
ternatlonal questions are already before
the court. The Transvaal question was
certainly not one of these, because The
Hague peace conference had decided
that the Boer States were not sovereign
States. The cour will not be in per-
manent session but will only act when
suitable questions are presented to it,
when the whole court will select a
bench to adjudAcate each question.
MIR. Hollis said both Count Won Bue-
low and Baron Won ~Richthofen, the for
eign ministers, had received him in the
most kindly manner, even sharing his
belief that The Hague court was, like
the Magma Charta, an agreement around
which future international law will
crystalline. Mr.. Hollis believes the EN-
peror, the German government and the
German people are now sincerely in IA
vor of The Hague arbitration court, on
all questions which seem to properly
belong there. Mr.. Hollis thinks this is
all the more remarkable because Ger
many, during the conference in 1889
had at first a number Of serious weighty
objections to urge against arbitration.
But she has now honestly altered her
o%DiniOn.
