CADET LYNCH'S INS0LENCE.
Is West Points Authority on Fight
ing, Upheld Code and shook His
Finger ut Gen. Dick.

West Point, Jan. 1S.-The Congressional
Committee will probably finish the inves-
LEGATION at the Military Academy to-mor-
row night. The congressman have obtain
ed a mass of evidence additional to that
adduced at the military court of inquiry.
Young Macarthur was on the stand
again to-day but he had little to add to
his former testimony.
Macarthur firmly maintained that he
er severe soiree of exercises, and would
not admit that he had commissions or suf-
tered from hysteria.
Cadet Farnum, who was hazed at the
same time as Macarthur, testified that
ne was exercised to state of exhaustion
and had to leave the tent before Mac
Arthur on that occasion.
Cadet Meyer of the present first class
admitted having exercised a number of
Ioufth class men. one of whom Vernon
dropped TO the floor from exhaustion.
Inc nghting traditions were gone into
again and some additional information
was CLEANED in that respect
Cadet A. J. Lynch of New York was
thoroughly examined by the committee
as ne is looked upon as the authority on
HSh'iilS at the academy. When Gen. Dick
began to question him he became argl-
mentative and shook his finger at the
chairman several times when parrying
some of the generals reproofs.
At times he leaned across the table
which separated him from the chairman's
table while he spoke in an insolent man.
ner to the general. He upheld the West
Point lighting code, and declared that
he would fight any man of his size and
weight, and said that any man who would
not do likewise was not fit to join the
army.
Gen. Dick exhibited good deal of for
bearance, but finally gave up his quea-
tioning in unconcealed disgust after he
had given the "fstic expert" a sound
piece of advice.
For the first time during the investi-
cation it was shown to-day that there
are cadets in the first class who, from
the time they came here as "plebes" have
been opposed to hazing and fighting.
Cadet Francis w. Clark, of Illinois, tes-
titled to this and said that these prac-
tees should be abolished. He was COM
plimented by Mr.. briggs, who said that
Clark was a credit to the academy.

HAVE YOU ANY OF
THESE
symptoms of Very Common
Trouble.

symptoms OF very common
Trouble.
There is no disease so common In the
United States as catarrh, because 1t APP
pears in so many forms and attacks so
many different organs.
It is a common mistake to suppose that
catarrh is confined to the nose and throat.
Any Inflammation of the mucous mem
brane, wherever located. accompanied by
abnormal secretions, is catarrh. Catarrh
OF stomach or bladder, or intestines IS
nearly as common as nasal catarrh and
much more serious, although II is true
that stomach catarrh and catarrh Of
other internal organs is the result of neg
lected nasal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which, so far as tested, seems to be re-
markably effective in promptly curing ca
tarrh wherever located. The preparation
is sold by druggists generally under name
Of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, and in adj
dition TO being very palatable and con-
venient. possesses extraordinary merit,
IN many cases giving immediate relief
from the coughing, hawking and constant
clearing OF the throat and head those
symptoms with which every one is IA
miliar who has ever suffered from colds
IN the head and throat.
Catarrh is simply continuation Of these
symptoms until the trouble becomes
chronic and grows gradually worse from
year to year.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are composed
OF Hvdrastin. Eucalyptol. Guaiacol aud
similar antlseptics and catarrh specifics
from which IL will be seen that no Sc
cret Is made Of the ingredients and also
that no mineral poisons are used as Is
the case with many well-known catarrh
medicines.
For catarrh of the nose. throat, bron-
chial tubes, for catarrh of stomach, in
testines or bladder no preparation is so
safe and gives such rapid and permanent
results as Stuarts Catarrh Tablets
All druggists sell them at Soc Vor full
sized package. You can use them with
assurance that you viii not contract the
cocaine or morphine habit. as the results
from this catarrh cure are apparent from
the first days use.

THE BRITISH VIEW OF 1T.
Daily Telegraph Discusses the Canal
Question From British stand
point.

London, Jan. 19-The Daily Telegraph,
in the course of very temperate editorial
on the Nicaragua canal controversy, says:
There is not the smallest reason to be-
lieve that the United States Senate in
tended to affront or slight the
British government. Yet, by injudi-
clous utterances and unrestrained cru-
cisms, an attempt has been made to breed
Ill feeling. Not all English politicians are
discreet, neither are all English newspa-
pers guarded in their criticisms.
ut is quite possible that the United
States may have a satisfactory equivalent
to offer for fresh concessions, such as the
Senate desires or they advance cogent
arguments to justify our agreeing to the
amendments without compensation. If the
abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
is demanded the question will be discuss
ed on its merits.
British ministers do not wish to hin
der the construction Of the canal, and
they recognize the natural desire of the
United States to be the custodians of the
canal. They cannot, however. assent to
the establishment of the dangerous pre-
cedent Of the abrogation of treaty by
stroke of the PEN"
