statement of the midshipmen shows that
they have kept faith with this agreement
A violation of it would no more be tolerated
by them than it would be by the Navy De-
partment or the superintendent of the
Naval Academy. Recognizing. as they do,
that they, as a class. are the custodians of
their own honor. they are naturally quick
to protest against and to resent anything
that reflects upon it.
II have every confidence in any statement
that they may make and 1 know that the
class has kept faith with me-
While l do not deem it advisable as a
rule to notice reports of this kind in the
public press, in this case they have been
so widespread that the injury to the good
name of the academy will be so great If
the reports are allowed to go unchallenged
that l earnestly request the department to
take such steps it may deem proper to
see that the midshipmen are set right be-
fore the public.
occasional breaches of discipline may
occur at times among them, and cause no
disappointment, as they are to be expected
among large body of active. healthy and
full-blooded young men. but l can assure
the department that nothing that reflected
on the integrity of the midshipmen would
be tolerated by them"

SUPERFLUOUS HORSES.
How to Dispose Of Them for Winter
Under Consideration.

The District Commissioners are just now
wrestling with the problem as to what dis
position shall be made this winter of ten
fine horses in the street cleaning depart
ment connected with the street sprinkling
system of the department. which is soon
to be abandoned for the fall and winter. II
the horses are kept in the department they
will be idle and will eat up great deal of
money. If they are sold, the money will
have to be turned into the treasury and the
District will derive no benefit. In fact the
District would be decided loser, as the
same number of horses would have to be
purchased next spring from the street
cleaning appropriation.
solution has presented itself, but the
legality of the course proposed ID yet to
be passed upon. r. " Rusk, street clean
ing contractor, has offered to take the
horses and keep them during the winter at
nominal charge. provided he Is allowed to
use them in light work. He states that they
will be properly cared for and returned to
the department In the spring in the best
of condition. Superintendent Stutler of the

TIDE OF IMMIGRATION.
During the Last Fiscal Year 857, O46
Persons Landed on Our Shores.

There are 100000 persons of foreign
birth living in the United States, 20,O0OOOO
such having come to this country since the
year 1920 while more than 26OOO, 600 Of our
population at the present time consists Of
persons Of foreign-born parentage.
The Department of Commerce and Labor
has issued a report showing the results of
accurate figures relating to this subject,
and S57 ,046 is given as the number of immi-
grants who have landed on our shores dur
ing the fiscal year just closed, this being
the heaviest immigration year in the his
tory of the country. The figures are ac-
curate only for the tide that has come by
the Atlantic liners. those crossing the bor-
ders between Canada and Mexico being
difficult to record.
Through Canada comes thousands of i'm
migrants who could not, under the present
laws, enter the United States at one Of our
ports. They remain in Canada for time,
but eventually cross the border into the
promised land that has been painted to
them in the mother country.
Since the year 1890, when the first rec
ords were kept. and during which year
1886 immigrants entered the United States,
the tide has grown in tremendous waves
until 1t reached its highest point last year,
overlapping all previous records for sin
gle year by more than 100000.

says:
within a short time we will be obliged
to discontinue sprinkling If weather condi-
lions are the same they have been in
years past about this season Of the year.
This will leave us with ten horses, for
which we will have no during the win

sary either to sell them, to continue to
board them at the stables at the rate of SIG
a month for each or to accept Mr.. Rusk s
proposition.
IF the horses are sold the proceeds will

cleaning fund will not be credited with the
amount. and next spring we will have to

less than $175 each, or a total of $1,75O. If

DENIED BY MIDDIES
THAT HAZING IS CARRIED ON AT
THE NAVAL ACADEMY.
Statement by the President OF the
Second-Class Forwarded by Capt.
Brownson, the Superintendent.

Cant Brownson. superintendent of the
Naval Academy, has sent the Secretary OF
the Navy a copy of the following letter,
dated October 8, from Midshipman A. b.
Court president of the second class at the
Naval Academy. IN regard TO alleged haz-
ing or running at the academy:
II have to call your attention to some
statements lately made in the press of the
country that the second class at the Naval
Academy had, notwithstan the agree
nent to the contrary, continued TO indulge
in the practice of hazing, under cover OF re-
naming 1t running 1t was further stated
that the authorities had Investigated, very
recently, case of haZing on the part or
second classmen.
The agreement entered into last winter
by the then third class to put stop 10
haZing on the part of that class, has been
zealCusly adhered to. The term running
has been used for years at this academy to
denote a mild form of hazing; the detinl-
ton of difference between them l shall not
attempt. Nor Is IT necessary. for in the
agreement made by this class the two
terms were regarded as synonymous. and
at no time has there been shown any desire
TO violate the compact in spirit or in overt
act
II have the honor to protest against these
reflections upon the honor of the class OF
1905. This class would themselves have put
@ stop to any procedure that would reflect
upon their good faith, and l take this OPP
portunity to inform you that any state
ments to the effect that the second class
has violated its agreement to stop the prac-
tice of hazing are incorrect"
Superintendent Brownson Endorsed this
letter as follows:
approved and respectfully forwarded for
the consideration of the department.
II am in entire sympathy with the mid
shipmen of the second class in the protest

LADRONES KEEPING BUSY.
Gen. san Miguel, with nm Organized
Force, Making Trouble In tho
Vicinity of Manila.

Manila, Feb. ga force of la
drones, under Gen. San Miguel, reap
peared in Rial province Saturday.
They avoided an engagement with the
main force in the south, but captured
three small detachments og constab-
ulary. The enemy surrounded the
towns of Cainta and Taytay II miles
east of Manila, Saturday, and cap
tured , scouts and ten men of the
constabulary, whom they disarmed
and set free.
Sunday Inspector Mcllwaine, at the
head of ten constabulary, was sur
prised and captured near Mont Al
ban, 1G miles northeast of Manila. The
ladrones promi.ed to release them if
the constabulary would surrender
their arms. While they were confer
ring on this point, Mcllwaine made a
dash for liberty, and he and all tie
cJntabuIary effected their escape.
When the news of the temperance
of Gen. San Miquers force reached
Manila reinforcements of scouts and
constabulary were hurried into
Rizal province. Gen. Allen and Col.
Scott went TO Antipolo and assumed
command of the forces there. They
met with small detachments of the
enemy and few skirmishes took
place. They were, however, unable to
locate the main body of ladrones,
Gen. Allen and Col. Scott are contin-
uing the pursuit and hope to oyertake
the released prisoners.
1t is said that Gen. San Miquels
force consists OF 300 men, armed and
uniformed. The zone Of ladrone ac-
tiyity extends from Calooean, four
miles north of Manila eastward to the
mountains Of Rial and skirtng tne
northern limits of Manila. Manila ro-
lice co-operated in Saturdays efforts
to corner the enemy. Secretary Win
throp, in the absence Of Gov. Taft,
requested Gen. Davis to furnish addi-
tional scouts, and Gen. Davis has or
dered another battalion of scouts to
report to Gen. Alien. 1t is expected
that additional troops will be ordered
