which will appear the young men recently
designated by senators and representatives
for appointment as midshipmen to the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. This will be

to pass at the preceding examinations.
While there are about eighty vacancies,
pals and forty-seven as alternates will ap-
pear before the board at the navy yard on

. ton has caused more or less embarrass-
ment to the Navy Department, and espe-
cially since the demand for officers has
been SO pressing and continues to grow.

Out of Todayss Game.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November s.-The
Harvard athletic committee today decided
not to allow E. o. King, the big center, to
play in today's game against Pennsyl-
varia.
Final decision as to Kings eligibility has
not been made, but thes committee, acting
on communications recefyed from both Yale
and Pennsylvania, deemed 1t best to dis
qualify the center from playing in any
games until definite decision as to his
eligibility should be reached.
The information against King is that as
student at the University of Indiana. he
played for four years. which would make
him ineligible for further work with any
college team under the four-year playing
clause. 5 -.

JUB|LANT
Over Results of Bye-Elections
in England.
UNI0NISTS ABASHED
BALFoUR AND CHAMBERLAIN
FAIL TO MARMoNIZE.
Interpreted That Government Would
Be Defeated Should a General
Election Be Held.

LONDON, November S.-The liberals are
jublant and the unionists are proportion
ately disgruntled over the results of the
bye-eiections in the Cleveland and East
Toxteth divisions.
The large increase in the liberal ma jority
in the Cleveland division is generally ad-
mitted, even by the conservative organs, to
be due to dissatisfaction with the educa-
ton bill, which is still vending it's way
through the house of commons.
In the East Toxteth division the reduc-
ton of the unionist majority by over 1,J0O
was greatly due to curious feature unas-
sociated with current political controver-
sizes.
Taylor Supported Liberal.
Austin Taylor, who just managed to win
the seat. had taken a prominent part in
Liverpool (to which the division belongs)
against the ritualists, whose practices
caused the crusade which recently ended
in the tragic death of John Kensit, the
anti-rituaiist leader.
In fact, Mr.. Taylor had gone so far as to
support liberal in neighboring constit-
uency against a conservative high church
man. This stirred up the ritualists of East
ToXteth to such an extent that they en-
tered upon a vigorous campaign against
Mr.. Taylor and prominent unionists issued
an appeal for aid for the liberal candidate.
Unable to Restore Harmony.
Premier Balfour and Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain interviewed, but were unable
to restore harmony. The curious spectacle
was then presented of liberal, backed up
by non-conformists, daily denouncing the
clerical tendencies of the education bill,
yet having the support of the fashionable
clergy and their congregations.
Both bye-elections, taken in conjunction
with other liberal successes, are interpret
ed by the organs of the party they favor as
being sure signs that the government would
be defeated should a general election be
held.
Brodrick May Retire.
This, however, is quite unlikely, and it
would take a good many East Toxteths
| and Clevelands to even appreciably disturb
| the equanimity of Mr.. Balfour's large, solid
| majority in the house of commons.
| In this connection an interesting political
rumor is current that War Secretary Brod-
| rick is soon to be gracefully retired with a
peerage or some office. There seems but
slight ground to believe it is founded on
| fact.

istration in she positions he has adopted.
There is exceeding pathos In his present
relation TO his party associates. Perhaps,
without exception, every other hepuoil-
car I'm the senate has either drifted with
The tide or defended the imperialistic poll
OF the majority.
Senator Hear reminds one OF a parent
who makes fruitless effort 10 keep his
boys from rushing over precipice, and
TO the disinterested reader his boys APP
pear TO be as rash as they are hull-head-
ed I'm their obstinate adherence to an I'M
wise party policy.
Senator HoaIs comparison CT cuba
with the Philippines cannot be improved
upon. II Is absolutely faultless in its
completeness. The policy of the admins
tratfon toward Cubans, and contrarily to-
ward Filipinos. can never be forgotten.
Both countries or islands were forcibly
wrenched from Spain. and he intimates
that Cuba would have Jared no better
than Manila II the United States had not
been respectfully attentive TO the good
opinion OF European dignitaries in freeing
Cuba.
ms excoriation OF the treachery used TO
capture Ag1linaldo Is not based upon his
personal detestation Of such conduct, but
Is founded on the accepted requirements
OF defcnsible warfare, as signed and seal
ed during the treaty at Hague between
all the great world powers.
Men who disguised themselves In Fill
pfno uniform-who carried forged letters;
who asked for food ind ate IL in Agui-
naldo's presence. then jumped upon him
and bore him 10 the floor TO be ironed
and led away captive. What do you think
Of that? Senator Hoar's allusion to
Saladin in Walter Scotts "Talisman," on
the rights OF hospitality, Is simply exquis-
ite in tone aud touch.
Funston was promoted for this conduct.
The speaker said he blamed Macarthur,
the commanding general, not Funston,
who obeyed orders. but he felt that this
act had degraded the great American
army as well as the great American ma
ton.
His peroration is simply beyond common
praise IL thrills one to read his sum-
Mig up Of the great deeds Of many gem
erations Of American patriots, until he
reaches this Philippine disgrace.
I wish our young students Of oratory
would write TO Senator Hoar for a copy
OF this speech. Nothing I know Of so
epitomizes candid public opinion on this
mooted subject.
