WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-By a vote of
165 to 102 the House to-day accepted the
reapportionment plan proposed by the Bur-
leigh bill. which increases the membership
of :he House during the next decade from
S57, the present membership, and the men,
bership proposed by the committee in the
Hopkins BILL TO $50. The result was largely
brought about by the influence of certain
senators from several of the larger north
ern States. who threw the weight of their
influence in the scale in favor of the larger
membership. When it became apparent
that these factors were at work against
his bill. Mr.. Hopkins attempted to compro-
mise by giving an additional representative
each TO North Dakota. Colorado and Flor
fca, but his adversaries refused to COM
promise after complete victory was as
sured- The Crumpacker proposition TO re-
commit the bill for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what States abridged the right to
vote to an extent which would entail re-
duced representation was defeated, 100 to
1l0. There was no roll call on this vote,
but number of Republicans voted with
the Democrats. Under the bill as passed

Choate Talks with Lansdowne.

LONDON, Jan. S.-Mr. Choate had an
interview regarding the Chinese situation
with Lord LaEsdowne at the Foreign Of
flee to-day, but little headway was made
The discussion was confined to the diff
ficulties of the powers in agreeing to
china's answer to their demands, which
will necessitate further negotiation.
Great Britain has rot yet replied TO the
circular OF the United States government
inviting the powers to confer in Wash
ington The Associated Press is authorized
to say that she is willing to agree to the
proposal if the other powers will also agree.
but the impression prevails in London that
the other European powers are not likely
to accept Mr.. Hays suggestion.
British officials generally are disheartened
over the latest muddles in Peking and
fear that long time will elapse before
matters are made straight. 1t is pointed
out that a conference in Washington would
be a cause of serious delay and incon-
veniencc to many powers. who would be
obliged to send special representatives. If
il is decided to hold conference in Wash
ington Lord Pauncefote will probably rep
resent Great Britain The success fail
ure of Secretary Hays last effort ap-
pears TO depend chiefly on the powers of
the triple alliance. which are now exchang-
ing dispatches on the subject. The indi-
cations are that they would only accent
the proposal as a last resort. The sugges-
ton of Washington as the most suitable
location excites no feeling whatever, for
il is a rule OF European diplomacy that
powers responsible FOR such suggestions
have the right TO name their own capitals
as the place OF meeting.

Testimony of the Brother and Father
of a Cadet Who Returned Home
and Died of Typhoid Fever.
B00z'S EYE SIGHT NOT GOOD
FAILED IN EXAMINATION FOR THE
BAR AT PHILADELPHIA.
His General Average Only so, Accord
ing to the Secretary of the Board
of Examiners.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. S.-The congress
SIGNAL committee. which is investigating the
hazing of the fourth-class cadets at West
Point Military Academy resumed the TAX
ing of testimony to-day. Harry Breth, of
Altoona, an older brother of John Breth
whose death is also under investigation,
told of visit he and his sister paid to his
brother in West Point in August. 1897, a
few months after his admission TO the
academy. John said he had been exercised
until he was rendered unconscious and was
revived with whisky. Harry said the haz-
ing had become severe that extra guards
had been put on duty, and John said that
such a proceeding was unusual. When the
cadet returned home after having been
found deficient in certain studies in 1885,
he seemed unwell and never was in good
health after that.
Lucien Alexander, secretary of the board
or examiners for the admission of law
students to the Philadelphia bar. who yes
terday refused to give the result of Oscar
Poozs examination on the ground that he
would be in contempt of the courts under
rule Of the court, said he had applied to
the court of Common Pleas and had been
granted permission to make answer He
then testified that Oscar Booz failed in
the examination. he having a general av-
erage of fifty. Mr.. Alexander said he al
tributed his bad showing to Boozs poor
eyesight
Harry Breth was again called and sub
mitted three letters written by his brother
when he was cadet at West Point.
In one letter John said he had received a
large number of demerits. This, he said
was not the result of carelessness, as the
rules were very strict in regard to tidr-
| ness. He had little time to keep his be-
longings in proper order. as he was COM
peiied TO neglect his duties by reason or
his having to attend soirees, which was
one or the forms of hazing in vogue at the
academy. Another letter stated that one
night "some of the worst fellows in G,
Company took John and three others 70
tent and forced them 10 undergo exces-
sive exercising. John was made 10 .shracs
eagle. wooden Willie" put on q rain
hold out dumbbells.
Mr.. Breth, the father of John. said II
Was his firm conviction that the excessive
r zing his son underwent made him chron-
ically nervous. broke his health and re-
duced his vitality TO such an extent that
the young man was unable to fight the ty-
phoid germs.
George l.. Smith, OF this city, who was
az West Point from June, 1856 TO .June
1887. described the hazing as he knew n a r
that time Wesley Merritt was then the
superintendent and he was very stricr
mere SO, he thought. than the succeeding
superintendents. There was no brutal or
exhausting hazing while he was at the
academy.
The committee then adjourned to rneer
at West Point tomorrow morning After
hearing the testimony at the Military Acad-
emy. this committee will return TO Wash
irgton. where other witnesses will be heard

SOUTHERN vIcERoYs PROTEST..
They Object to Acceptance of Terms
of the Joint Note.

PEKING, Jan. S.-The protest of the
viceroy of Yang-Tse to the signing of the
joint note has created little surprise here,
but the fact that the other southern vice.
roys also have protested, causing the court
TO instruct the plenipotentiaries not to sign
the note created a great sensation in Pc
king. The agreement has rot yet been pre-
sented for signature. The ministers be-
lieve. however, that Prince Ching is irrev-
ccably bound verbally, and think he will
sign. The objections of the southern vice.
roys are precisely the same as those which
the court originally telegra2hed to Prince
Ching. and concerning which. on the repre-
sentation of Prince Ching and Ii Hung
Chang. the court eventually agreed to en-
deavor to make better terms. The court
doubtless was influenced by the protests
from the south because it was generally
felt that the dynasty had less influence
there than In the north.
Chang Chi Tung has strongly urged the
court rot to return to Peking, but to es-
tablish a capital in the Yang-Tse valley.
He says this will strengthen the south to-
ward the Chinese cause, and that the sign
ing of the agreement as it exists at present
would be a most serious menace to the dy-
nasty, as the state of the country is doubt
full. The note will be signed If China is
very sincere In carrying out the provisions
Of the agreement.
Ii Hung Chang is invisible to the public.
His attendants claim that he is suffering
from a serious relapse, though many per-
sons think his relapse is made a con-
venience so the signing of the note can be
delayed until the court can be heard from
again.

Secret Of the Whole Thing, He Says
Is Horses, and Kitchener IL Get
ting Eight Thousand a Month.

CAPE TOWN, Jan. S.-The central police
committee at Kroonstadt has issued a cir
cular in the course of which IL says:
THE time has arrived for the Inhabitants
of Orange River Colony 10 make an effort
to save the country from further destruc-
ton The country is literally vast wilder
ness. The farmers, ruined and facing star
walton, are obliged to go TO the towns for
protection, and huge refugee camps have
been formed by the British for them. This
is caused by an obstinate minority, who
will not bow to the inevitable"
The circular points out that the British
will never restore independence to the re-
publics and urges on the burghers the duty
of surrendering and accepting the terms Of
fered. The recent Afrikander congress at
Worcester is criticised in the circular as
misleading the Beers and giving false inn
pressions."
In conclusion the committee says: THE
British government is willing to settle mat
ters in a way not humiiating to Us. We
appeal to you TO appoint another congress
and TO nominate men Of influence of your
list to visit Mr.. Steyn and General De Wet
and to try to persuade them to accept the
terms Great Britain offers. These two men
are the only obstacles to peace. We ask
you to believe us when we say that Mr..
are willing and would already have ac-
cepted the British terms, but Mr.. Steyn
has refused to have anything 10 do with
the surrender. He has continued the war
and has encouraged the burghers
with hope that we would get
European assistance. To-day he is
cut off from all communication with the
outside world. You know and we know how
unfounded that hope is. II is your duty
to assist us to make him understand this
We appeal TO you to help us 10 end the
unhappy state of affairs which is plunging
everybody into poverty and despair. We ap-
peal to you because we know you are able
to assist US in the right manner
The committee includes W. f. De Wet.
late assistant chief commandant. three
members of the Volksraad and two justices
of the peace.
