AN OFFICIAL ROAST.
Committee on British Military
Education Files a Report.

London, June THE report of the
committee on military education and
training, issued today, furnishes the
strongest official corroboration of the in
efficiency Of the officers Of the British
army. The committees report, which IS
based upon the evidence Of officers
themselves, from the commander-in-
chief downward, fills 48 printed pages
with caustic criticism OF the existing
system. The witnesses were unanimous
in saying that the junior officers were
lamentably deficient in military knowl-
edge, the desire to acquire knowledge,
and in zeal.
The committee finds that the young
officers viii not work unless compelled
ion" and that it is not correct form.
The committee declares that many Of
ficers do not possess an elementary ed
ucation and plaintively protests that
officers ought "at least to be able TO e1-
press themselves clearly and concisely
Perhaps the penultimate paragraph is
Perhaps the ultimate paragraph is
the most complete Of all. so long as
mediOcriry is permitted to pass muster, %
saws the committee. "and signal ability
meets with no substantial recognition,
it is useless to hope for any valuable
results from amendments to the regula-
tons. Nothing but inducements in the
shape of credit for good work, either in
peace or in war, can raise the standard
of knowledge through the command and
ranks"
The committee. therefore, recommends
AN honest system of promotion by
merit, following upon tests honestly con-
Quoted and honestly reported on"

and when about opposite the Wilson,
the Hadley was given orders by q tug

sheered off for the Superior entry and
crashed directly into the Wilson.
The Wilson went down so quickly that it
did not seem possible to save a life. One
moment the two boats were ploughing
through the water 200 yards apart the next
the crew of the Wilson would be seen
throwing off their clothing and jumping
into the water. One man on the Wilson
with great presence of mind threw life
preservers to several struggling IL the
water. The crew of the Hadley also threw
their preservers to those in the water.
Immediately after the collision the VIII
son pitched forward and went down. AS
she plunged the crew still on board rushed
to the stern, jumping overheard as fast as
they could free themselves from their

During the short time she was on top Of
the water she seemed to be supported en-
tirely by the Hadley's Prov which was
sticking in through her plates
The plunge of the Wilson released the
Hadley and the latter swung back with a
tremendous Jerk.

BLACK DOESN'T KNOW.

". J. Black. general passenger agent

he could say in regard to the reported
resignation Of Third Vice President J.
w Kendrick. Il don't know anything
about it, except what has been report
ed. I don't know whether the report of
the resignation is true"
Mr.. Black was in Chicago attending
a meeting of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION. At this meeting the military
rate pool was one of the principal sub
jects of discussion. This pool was
smashed" by the withdrawal of the
Rock Island from the association. In
response to a question concerning the
action of the association on this matter,
Mr.. Black said:
The military rate question was dis
cussed considerably, but nothing def
mite was done. The meeting was still
in progress when left, and the Santa
F'e was represented by Mr. Nicholson.
There had been no agreement reached
at the time I left.
Numerous other matters were taken
up by the association, but nothing was
done which would be of interest to the
public"

HAMILTON's NEW TRIAL.
Negro Who Was Lynched, but Res
cued, Has Case Reversed.

James Hamilton, negro who was
sent to the penitentiary for q years
from Butler county for murder in the
second degree, is entitled to a new trial,
according to a decision of the supreme
court today.
Hamilton came to Kansas from the
south and shortly after his arrival he
went to work with a construction gang
on railroad. He had trouble with
George H. Webb, foreman of the con-
struction gang Webb beat Hamilton,
and Hamilton grabbed an ak and killed
the foreman with it.
The rest of the construction gang seiz-
ed Hamilton, and after abusing him for
a time, five of their number hung him
to a tree and left him. He was cut
down by passer-by before he was
dead and lived to be tried for murder.
him were witnesses for the state. but
cross examined concerning the lynching
on the ground that it was immaterial.
The defense claimed that it was very
material as showing the state Of mind
of the witnesses toward the defendant
Hamilton was convicted and sent to
the penitentiary.
His attorneys waited until the two
years in which an appeal is allowed had
nearly expired, and then they filed an
appeal in the supreme court In the
meantime the men who saw the crime
are, scattered and most Of them viii be
hard to find. Now the supreme court
reverses the lower court and gives Hans
ilton 4 new trial, but it win be difficult
for the state to secure the witnesses to
make a strong case against him again.

GUARDS ON DUTY.
Santa Fe Preparing For Trouble
at San BernardinO.

San Bernardino. Cal, June Another
carload of workmen has arrived to take
the places of the strikers at the Santa
Fe machine shops in this city. A force
Of 80 guards are on duty at the shoDs
day and night, but 50 fer there has rot
been the slightest disturbance.
TROUBLE AT ROSW ELL.
Friday the Santa Fe started out four
boilermakers from the Topeka shops for
Roswell, N. NJ At that time it was sus-
pected that q strike was on at the ROs-
well shops, and now it IS known that
trouble is threatened there
The boilermakers employed in the shops
of the Pecos Valley and Northwestern
railroad at Roswell are threatening to
walk out. On Monday the men notified the
mana cement of a demand for raise OF
wages from the present scale Of $S.75 per
day to "a a day. The men are not inclined
to make trouble, but viii insist on the IN
crease asked.
The strike here is now purely one Of
sympathy. 1t was learned today that the
Santa Fe has conceded all the demands
of the men with regard to reinstating
the bOilermaker who was discharged be-
cause he would not go away from here to
work The men now say openly that they
are staying out simply to help the strik-
ing boilermakers at the Needles.

LOOK OUT FOR A FLOOD
Kansas River Shows Signs of
Becoming Unruly.

The Kansas river rose feet this
morning. and is still going up. The
water is within 10 feet of the top of
the street railway bridge, and the wa
ter gauge shows a depth of feet 6
inches.
Vast quantities of drift are coming
down the river. and the street railway
company has a force of len constantly
at work dislodging the brush and logs
which threaten to blockade the river.
If a blockade forms, the chances are
that the street railway bridge would
be carried away. The river is swirling
along like a mill race, and there is
considerable danger to the made land"
which has been built out into the river
at the city park, Wolff's packing house
and other places.
At noon today the openings of both
sewers at the city park were entirely
submerged. The new sewer is about a
foot higher than the old one, and moth
ing but the capstone of the new sewer
is visible above the torrent of water.
The rise in the river is due to heavy
rains west of Topeka. Soldier Creek
and the Shunganunga are not very
much affected so far.
