SENATOR HANNA SPEAKS
TELLS BUFFALO BUSINESS MEN THEY
HAVE A GREAT SHOW,
And Advises Them to Devote at Least
One-Third of Their Time to
Public Affairs.

BUFFALO, May 21.-The distinguished
guests of the Pan-American exposition Of
hciaIs who remained here to-day had
busy time of it, Vice President Roosevelt
and Senator Hanna were the busiest of
ALL Senator Hanna will leave here for
Cleveland tomorrow morning. while Vice
President Roosevelt will remain until Fri
day morning. Vice President Roosevelt and
Senator Hanna were the guests of honor at
a reception rendered them by the board Of
managers and trustees of the Merchants

ton the distinguished guests went to the
Ellicott Club. where they lunched as guests
of the trustees of the exchange. In a brief
address 10 the members of the exchange
Vice President Roosevelt complimented
the management of the exposition on the
magnificent exposition which was opened
yesterday.
Senator Hanna was introduced and said
"The exposition is a pleasurable surprise
to me. Its artistic effects were never sur
passeo. Speaking as business man, weigh
ing cold facts, l have no hesitation in pre-
dieting that ii Will be a success. The veal
or woe of this country depends on men who
conduct it's commercial affairs. When a
man is engaged in profitable business he is
too apt to let public affairs political and
otherwise, take care of themselves. Speak
ing from my own experience. l would say
ii is well worth the while of any business
man To devote at least one-third of his time
to such affairs. When this exposition of
yours has passed into history its results
will show that the time and energy devoted
TO it by the business men of this community
were well spent.
There was no special programme at the
exposition grounds to-day, but the attend
ance was fair. The formal opening of the
womans building occurred to-day. The
opening was signaliZed by a public recep-
tion this afternoon TO Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt. The public was welcomed gen
orally.

WASHINGTON. May 21.-The storm
centers OF the general strike of machinists
throughout the country to-day are in the
vicinity of Cincinnati. o., and on the Pa
cific coast. The number of firms that have
signed agreements augmented to-day

gregate of the estimates making the con-
cessions to 1000 in round numbers during
the past three or four days. Save in one
or two instances. IS at Scranton. Pa. the
allied trades have not yet been affected.
The estimate of President O'Connell, of
the National Association of AIachinists,
TO the number of strikers to-day, remains
at $1,000 approximately, the same figure as
given yesterday. The executive board of
the association is in session here watching
the progress Of the strike. To-day's re-
ports show that only three railroads in the
United States are now affected by the
strike, namely the Central Vermont, Le-
high Valley and Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western.
President OConnell said tonight that the
advices received up TO o'clock at head
quarters here indicated that an early set
tlement of the trouble between the machin-
lists and employers will be effected. In
formation at hand showed that during the
day over 30 firms had settled by granting
the nine-hour day. Mr.. O'Connell said that
So far as he knew about 5000 men are out
in San Francisco and about 1900 in Cincin-
natl In Chicago nearly all the important
shops have settled with the men. The re-
ports from the South he said, show that
all through that section settlements are
being effected. Half the firms in Phladel-
phia, he said, have come 10 terms, and the
others are expected to follow suit. There
has been no news of a clash anywhere
Both the Navy and War Department are
apprehensive 10 the effects of the ma
chinists' strike on government work now
in progress. The Navy Department received
word that the strike had spread TO large
private yards on the Pacific coast. where
number Of warships under construc-
tion, and ii is expected that Eastern yards
having naval ships to build also will be
affected. The War Department was in
formed that the strike was likely to stop
work on the two naval transports Egbert
and Rosecrans. now repairing on the Pacific
coast. Secretary Root asked the Navy De-
partment to assist in forwarding the work
pending the tie-up, and acting Secretary
Hackett, of the navy, ordered that the two
army transports be taken TO the navy yard
at Bremmerton, on Puget sound, for the
completion of their repairs. None of the
government yards can be affected by the
strike, as an eight-hour day prevails in all
government work. Word has reached the
contributing funds In support of the strike

CADETS TO BE PUNISHED
FIVE uNRULY WEST POINTERS TO BE
DISMISSED TODAY.
Six More to BE Suspended and Large
Number of Others to BE Dfscf-
plined for Breach of Rules.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Col. a. l.. Mills,
superintendent of the Military Academy,
left Washington to-day after a conference
with the secretary OF in order TO be
present at West Point tomorrow when an
order will be read dismissing five cadets
from the academy and suspending six more
on charges of mutiny and breach of disci-
pline There are a large number of other
cadets upon whom will be inflicted minor
punishments, such as extra duty, confine-
ment to quarters deprivation of holidays
and reduction of class rank. 1t is under
stood that Douglas Macarthur, son of
Major General Macarthur, commanding in
the Philippines, will escape with minor
punishment
An official statement of the situation at
the academy was made at the War De-
partment to-day. 1t was said that the
cadets had been guilty of acts which would
rot be serious in another college, but in
view of the fact that these young men
were educated by the government, at a
government institution, to learn obedience
and tc learn how TO command men them
selves, il was necessary for them TO be
under a somewhat more rigid discipline.
The trouble grew out Of attempts to sup
press hazing Although promises of the
suppression of hazing have been made,
'bracing' still has been carried on against
the orders of the officials. Glass officers
have failed to report cases of bracing.
There also is the case or Cadet RalStOn,
who was reduced for not reporting misbe-
havior at the mess table. These class Of
ficers were reduced and some minor pun
ishment inflicted. The mutiny or insub-
ordination grew out OF the resentment or
the second class men, who have been at
the academy three years. at these punish
ments inflicted by the academy officials.
1t took the form of such offenses toward
the superintendent as training the gun upon
his quarters and in other acts which the
academy officers could not but take no.
tce. This resulted in the trials and SEN
tences TO dismissal approved by the secre-
tary of war to-day.
There are two other court-martial cases
in the academy pending in the department
where cadets have been sentenced TO dis
missal. There is rule at the academy that
n cadet invited out 10 dinner can be ex-
cused and leave the post. Two cadets in
vited each other 10 dinner and made this
their excuse for absence. Their ruse was
discovered.
