NO PUNISHMENT FOR HAzING.
Immunity for Cadets Who Testified
Before the Military Board

1t was learned at the War Department
yesterday that no punishment will be in
licted upon the cadets at West Point who
participated in the system of hazing re-
vealed in the hearings by the board ap-
pointed to investigate the death of Cadet
Booz. Secretary Root said that the War
Department had not formally granted any
immunity to the cadets to get them to
testify but he declared that no unfair
advantage would be made of their state
ments.
The department will follow the princi-
pie that as the cadets had not been
warned that their statements would be
used against them they cannot be pun
ished for the offences confessed before the
board 1t is not denied that the board
finds that Cadet Boozs death was not the
result of his treatment at the Military

MIR. M'KINbEY'S ILLNESS.
DIR. Rixey Says the Presidents Con-
ditiOn Is Favorable.

Dr. Rixey, the White House physician,
stated late last night that the President s
condition was favorable. but that he would
doubtless be confined TO his bed fer sew
eral days yet 1t is thought that he will
not be able to resume his duties until the
first of the week The President is suffer-
ing from a severe attack of the grip,
which is accompanied by the usual aches
and pains which are a part o. h', dis
ease, but it is thought that he ,rouble
was taken in hand early enou n - pre-
vent any serious complications. was
stated last night that the President had
practically no fever, and that is regarded
as very good symptom. He was at first
considerably uneasy and restless because
of his inability to perform the duties OF
his office. but he has now resolved not
to worry over public matters. The Presi-
dent has always been very active. and
has known but little illness, and never
before since he has held the office has
his own sickness interfered with his work.
In consequence the close confinement to
his private apartments for a week is very
distasteful to him. He has resolved, how
ever, to accept the advice of his physi-
clan and remain perfectly quiet hghtlng
the disease until it is safe for him to be
out and about again.
Secretary Cortelyou who is thoroughly
in touch with all public matters coming
before the President. has affairs well in
hand, and has assured the President that
there is nothing which demands his i'm
mediate attention. All the minor details
of the office. have been carefully looked
after by the Secretary.
Many anxious enquiries came to the
White House by letter and wire yester
day asking information concerning the
Presidents condition, and assurance was
given to all that there was no cause
fer alarm. There were also a number of
callers, who came personally to ask in
regard to the Presidents health. DR..
RiXey was at the White House several
times yesterday and remained until late
last night.
Mrs. Mckinley is much worried over
the Presidents condition, but is standing
the strain well. She is indispOsed, but no
worse than before the President was taken
i'll.
Secretary Hay is still confined TO his
home. He. too. is suffering from an at
tack of the grip. The Secretary had not
been feeling well for ss,ne time prior to
the attack. owing primarily to overwork
and for that reason he had greater diff
Guilty in fighting the disease. He is now
conyalescent. however. and will shortly be
able to resume his duties at the State
Department. which are row looked after
by Assistant Secretary Hill

ing the course of hazing by sophomores

tember and 1t was during his initiation

He says that he was blindfolded and

il was observed by his parents that he
was not we'll. and physicians were called.
He has steadily failed since coming
home. and now suffers nightly from con-
yulsions The doctors. while not stating
positively that Phillips condition is due
to the hazing. declare that 1t is a sus-
picous case that should be Investigated.

idept of the Bar Association of Manila.

by 2,006 Filipincs mainly residents Of
Manila praying Congress TO make a posi-
tive declaration of its policy toward the
Philippine Islands. He declines to make
the petition public until it has been pre-
sented to Congress, but it is said by the

marEable document in bCl diction and
length and to contain statements which
are almost sensational in character
Nearly a page of newspaper would be
necessary to print it. The petition con-
troTerts the prevailing impression that
the Filipinos are divided into many tribes.
asserting that On the contrary they are
homogeneous nation, and denies they
are illiterate, claiming so per cent of the
natives can read and write.

adopted in order to have it printed YER

THE UNDERWRITERS ELECTION
The Constitution Amendment Pro-
yides for n Compact Manager.

The annual meeting of the Fire Under
writer's Association was held yesterday
afternoon. A new constitution was adopt
ed, providing for the management of in
surance contracts in the future by an
officer. to be called compact manager,
who is to be appointed by the Middle De-
partment New officers were elected for
the ensuing year as follows: President,
Henry Wells; Vice President, Samuel
Cross; Treasurer. Henry Birge. The Of
fee of secretary is to be held by the COM
pact manager, who has not been appoint
ed as yet. .
Mr.. Cohen. the President of the assoeia
tion, during the past year, was nominated
to succeed himself, but declined the office.
He said in his speech of declination that
he had seen a great deal of service dur
ing his year in office, more than most
presidents have seen in two years and
that he did not feel able to serve again
W. p. Young, who has been the secre-
tary OF the association, was not made
treasurer as many had expected, because
under the rules the treasurer must be
a member of the association. 1t is un
derstood that he will have a position
under the compact manager
The following two committees were
elected: Advisory; Myer Cohen, R. W.
Waters. and II. Fl. Bergman: Executive;
Capt R. w. Tyler. Charles f. Nesbit A.
E. Gasch Lem Towers, ir., c. w. Howard
and H. X. Simpson.
A number of agents, members of the
association heretofore, failed to sign the
new constitution yesterday and to that
extent there is not as yet a complete
agreement among the insurance men. The
general opinion at the meeting seemed to
be. however. that the association is in
a better position in every way than it
has been at any time heretofore. 1t is
believed that the people still on the out
side will join shortly. or most of them
at least. The Potomac Company is now
a member of the association in good
standing and it is said thoroughly in ae-
cord with the new order of things.
President Wells said yesterday after
his election: 4 believe the company Is
stronger than ever before and that the in
suranee business will be in better shape
in every way hereafter.

CREMATED WITH HER GOLD.
An Aged Maryland Woman burned
to Death in Her Home

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, Jan. 9.-Niss EIiz-
abeth Shifer met horrible death by be-
ing cremated in her home, near Keedys-
vile. this cognty, this morning. She was
about ninety years old, and had lived
alone for many years. The house which
she occupied was one of the oldest struc-
lures in the county, having been erected
about 1880 by Moses Chaplaine, one of the
original settlers. 1t was built of logs
and contained but two rooms.
The intense heat prevented anyone from
entering the hog house, which was quickly
consumed, and Miss Shifer was left to her
fate. After the flames had been subdued
a search was made for the remains, which
are believed to be in the cellar, where
she had about $500 in gold secreted. She
had been seen at night going into the
cellar with a lighted lamp to count over
her savings of years, and it is supposed
that when the fire started she went down
into the cellar after her gold and perished
there. There were a thousand people at
the ruins. and men are digging to find the
remains

ate Finance Committee.
The Senate Finance Committee will
formally begin next week the task
of preparing the amendments to the
House bill recently passed reducing the
war revenue taxes. The leading features
of the amended measure have already
been determined upon by the Republican
members of the committee. The amount
of reduction to be provided for will be
about $4,000, Gee. or approximately one
half of the amount of the tax levied
under the existing law. instead of SiG,-
900. eco, as provided for in the House bill
The Senate bill, however, will have
practically the same effect upon the
revenues of the Treasury as the measure
in its original state, as the date set for
putting the law into effect will be July
l instead of Immediately as provided
in the House bill. This will render it
unnecessary for the Secretary of the
Treasury to redeem unused stamps is
