The committee held that lighting IS
the worst form of hazing. The report
says that such fighting as that at West
Point is a felony according to the
statutes in many of the states. and the
time has come when congress must de-

crimes elsewhere, shall continue at
West Point.

NEW YORK. March 13.-A special TO the
Tribune from Washington contains a eulo-
GUM, given by Senator Stephen b. Elkins.
of West Virginia, who was President Har-
rison's secretary of war, succeeding Red
field Proctor. Senator Elkins said his ac-
quaintance with General Harrison was
formed years before he came into the presi-
dency and was of the most intimate char
acter. He regarded him as one of the most
able statesmen of the present time, and one
of the greatest and most forceful men this
Nation has produced. He was surpassed by
no President as a constitutional and inter-
national lawyer, and ii was his eXtraordi-
nary ability as a lawyer that contributed
so largely TO his success in his administra-
ton of the great office. Mr.. Elkins paid a
high tribute to General Harrison's char
acter as a man, and said that he was much
better known and appreciated by the people
OF this country and by the world at large.
after leaving the presidency than he was
as President. In conclusion, he said: Gen.
Harrison's death is a loss TO the United
States and to the world. His counsel and
wisdom in these trOublous times were
much needed. Mr.. Blaine said of Mr.. Har-
rison that. in the presidency. he showed
himself not only a great administrator and
a great lawyer. but. what was more sur
prising, a great writer as well. When he
had finished a state paper nobody, in Mr..
Blaine's opinion, could add anything ma
terial TO IL. This is a verdict on President
HarrisOn's equipment as a statesman which
time will substantiate and history will ac-
cept.'

"AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN.
Senator Beveridge's Estimate of the
Distinguished Indianian.

Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, speaking
OF the death Of General Harrison, said this
evening:
THE death of this extraordinary man is
a national loss. His last years were the
most distinguished and influential of his
brilliant career. The power of his defense
of the Nations financial honor in 1886 was
as tremendous as his efforts were disinter-
ested and unselfish. His administration,
though unmarked by any great landmark
of worldwide and historical concern, was
a model OF that wise, cautious. cOnserva-
tive and firm conduct OF government upon
which after all the ordinary and continuous
happiness OF the people depend. The domi-
nant note of his life and character was con-
seTvatism. He liked to walk the paths
which the feet of his young manhOOd had
trod. He met rev views with suspicion
and new departures with a challenge. But
those who differed from him were the most
earnest admirers of the immense ability
with which he justified his opinions and
more than any enc else respected the fer
vent sincerity that inspired them. He was
as fearless as courage, as able as he was
brave and pure as the ideal of free citi-
zenship. He was far the most felicitOuS

doubt not that he was the first orator OF
the entire world at the present time. With
all his vast powers of intellect and charac-
ter he did rot appeal TO the affections OF the
masses, even when he aroused their high
est admiration and confidence. His mind
and effort he gave to his feilow-citizens.

RARE TYPE OF CHARACTER.
Harrison Compared with Gladstone
by John Wanamaker.

PHILADELPHIA, March 13.-John Wan
amaker. who was postmaster general dur
ing President Harrison's administration,
said tonight:
BENJAMIN Harrison will ever stand as
a rare type of American character. In
the combination Of gifts he possessed he
approached Gladstone nearer than any
other American statesman. He lived in a
light that made every question of duty
clear to him, and out of his clear brain
and apt speech he shed light on every
subject he discussed. Always sagacious,
fearless and firm. never feeble or foolish
with a wisdom of speech and a wisdom
to act born of a true heart, his life was
a gloriication of simplicity, straightfor-
wardness and truthfulness. Never false
himself. he was the implacable foe of falls
ity in others. He had a great soul and
loved his country. Taking together his
soldier, senatorial and presidential record.
Benjamin Harrison stands in the highest
rank of American statesmen"

AN INTELLECTUAL FORCE.
E~x-speaker Reed on the Attributes OF
General Harrison.

NEW YORK. March lS.-The Journal and
Advertiser tomorrow will print the follow
ing statement from ex-Speaker Thomas Il.
Reed:
mo one could doubt the intellectual force
of General Harrison or the strength of his
character. These attributes always gave
him command OF the confidence of the Ma
tion. His standing in his own State was so
high that when success in Indiana was in
dispensable in the national election he was
naturally chosen as the candidate of his
party. AS soon as the campaign opened IL
became evident to jewellers in distant
States that Harrison was more than an
available candidate. His term of the presi-
dency was. full of his personality. His adj
ministratiOn certainly left the country bet
ter than he found IL. His recent utterances
have been characterized by the same good
sense and moderation that in general
marked his previous speeches, and his death
at this time is peculiarly unfortunate for
