Washington, D. c.. Jan. 24.-The
committee TO investigate the hazing of
Cadet Booz had before it today the last
witness who will be called to testify.
He was E. H. Cunningham, a teacher
at Hamilton Institute. New York City,
who formerly wa. a cadet at West
Point. He was tent mate of Cadet
Macarthur, Who was severely hazed.
Cunningham entered the academy in
June, 1898. He described the hazing
of Macarthur in 1898. He said that
he reelei into the tent after being haz-
ed and went into convulsions. Asked as
to what was done with Macarthur, Cum
ningham replied that they had done
everything which came under the
head of exercising. The worst hazers
in the witnesses part of the camp
were Barry, Dockery and Duval. The
witness said that one reason why he
left the academy was his feeling that
hazing eXerted brutal influence. The
witness named Cadets Hill, Howse
Hackell and Kensel as cadets who Suf-
feIed from commissions and needed
medical assistance as the result of haz-
ing. The cadets had choked Kensel to
prevent him from uttering cries. Cadet
Crown qualified on prunes, breaking
the record by eating 1876, and they
made him sick.
He described hazing as nothing
short of exquisite torture. The men
were hung on bars with their feet M,
so that when they dropped from ex-
haustion, the knees struck on the
wooden floor several feet below. The
fainting man was again hoisted up and
repeatedly dropped. The witness said
that cadets from foreign countries ad-
mitted by an act Of Congress. We're
''bullied and bothered" in the same
way, rs was instanced in the case OF
Cadet Iglesias, of Costa Rica.

London, Jan. 24.-The fact that the
court goes into mourning for year,
and the further fact that the public is
enjoined to go into deepest mourning,
has led to the supposition that the cor

claimed in many cities and towns Of
the United Kingdom, the usual pro-
ceedure being chat the Mayor, attended
by other members Of the corporation.
has read the proclamation in the town
hall or market place.
In Dublin uniformed heralds pro-
claimed Edward VII at one of the
castle gates, in the presence of Lord
Lieutenant Earl Cadogan, and the
Irish Privy Council. An immense as
semblage attended the proclamation.
The Colonial Office announces that
an immense number of telegrams OF
coincidence have been received from
colonial governments and public bod
les in the colonies. and there is a con.
tinual stream of coincidence message
from other quarters. Cardinal Vaug
han sends word that he will bring
from Rome a special message from the
Fope to the King.
The following Princes from Germ
any will attend the funeral: Prince

NAVAL STEAM ENGINEERING
This Author Says That Scientists
Have Never Paid Proper At
tentiOn to Boilers.

Formerly the steam boiler never re-
ceived the serious consideration of sci
entific students, most if not all the at
tention being devoted to the improve
ment and investigation of the steam
engine. The result of this neglect is
that at the expiration of more than a
century from the birth of the steam en-
gine there is a most striking difference
of opinion among engineers upon the
respective qualifications of the water
tube steam generator and the shell or
cylindrical steam generator.
Another result of the want or the alb
sence of knowledge of all the subjects
that bear upon the correct design of a
steam generator, and one that is ever
associated with ignorance, is the fact
that an innovation in established pro-
cedure or design is prevented from lack
of confidence, says the Engineering
Magazine. This want of confidence has
given birth to the principle of the pol
icy of follow-my-leade which has been
adopted by most of the naval powers,
OF all of them, France, and. in less de-
gree, the United States, deserve the
praise that should be unstintingly Civ
en- to any nation that adopts the brave
part of pioneer of new developments in
structural science applied to battleship
construction.
In the work of pioneering the British
admiralty has hitherto notoriously
Jagged in the rear, and its only claim
to recognition is the fact that it is OF
all the powers the most generously en-
dowed with purchasing power by sad
ly nonrefiecting people.
