Stamps!
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
The new 2-cent stamp will probably not
feel especially stuck up after the usual
abuse has been heaped upon It, The fact
is, life is not worth living for an ordinary
little postage stamp in these days of clari-
flying good taste. Some time perhaps a de-
signer will arise who will discard pictures
Of national worthless and confine himself
strictly to pure design. and the stamp that
he will produce will radiate with loneliness
on an envelope of handmade paper.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
ANNAPOLIS Md, November 3.-There
was another session this morning of the
court-martial which was called at the Ma
val Academy to try the three members of
the first class who are charged with hazing.
At the beginning of the sess on today the
court announced that verdict had been
reached in the case of Midshfpman John H.
Loftand of Oskaloosa, Iowa. who was tried
yesterday, but it will not be made public
until 1t receives the approval of the Secre-
tary Of the Navy.
The remainder of the session was occu-
pied in the trial of Midshipman Earl w.
Chafee of Rhinelander. Wis. There are
three specifications to the charge of haz-
ing against Chafee. Two of them are the
same as those Upon which Loftand was
tried, that he hazed Midshipman w. w.
Lawrence of Colorado by compelling him
to stand on his head and that he hazod
Midshipman Churchill Humphreys by COM
pelling him to perform No g. one of the
setting up exercises used at the institu-
ton.
Talking With Greater Freedom.
The third specification is that he hazed
Midshipman ]. H. McCool of Washington
state, by compelling certain physical exer-
cises known sitting on infinity" The
three under classmen were on the stand
and a number of others of the same class
The witnesses are now telling of the oc-
currence with greater freedom than at pre-
vious sessions. The reason FOR this is that
the members of the court are in possession
of statement procured from these same
midshipmen by commission appointed by
Capt. Brownson.
The midshipmen spoke very freely to the
members OF this commission and are now
afraid of the slightest deviation. The evil
dence makes it perfectly clear that the I'M
der claSSmen were subjected to certain COM
pulsory practices but the defense is seeking
to show that haZing was not constituted
and deny that the connection of the accused
is shown.
The talk of the members of the first class
resigning If the accused midshpmen are
convicted is looked upon as nonsense.

THE PAY OF CARRIERS
Question That Will Come Be-
fore the Next House.
THE DEFEAT OF LOUD
ASCRIBED TO HIS OPPOSITION TO
INCREASED SALARIES
He Explains His Reasons for His At
titude-Does Not Expect to Re-
Enter Political Life.
THE DEFEAT OF LOUD

One of the problems before the next
House of Representatives will be the treat
ment of the salaries of letter carriers first
and of other employees of the Post Office De-
partment ultimately.
1t was on the issue of increase of salaries
that the defeat of Representative Loud for
re election to the Fifty-eighth Congress
hinged. Mr.. Loud was chairman of the
committee on post offices and post ROADS
and he took the view that the salaries OF
letter carriers should not be increased He
was outspoken in that opinion. and while
he was chairman of the committee the bill
to increase the salaries of this large class
of postal employees was never reported. The
bulk of the blame for the failure of the
measure was placed on his shoulders.
Defeat of Loud.
When the question of Mr.. LIQUIDS re-
election came up it was found that the
democrats and the union labor vote of
his district In San Francisco were COM
bined to beat him, although the district
had been strongly republican-so strong
" republican. in fact. that it was not
thought possible that he could be de-
feated. But the National Association of
Letter Carriers took up the fight and or
ganized labor was made a unit against
the reelection of Mr.. Loud. An order
from the Post Office Department, order
ing back to his work in Cincinnati the
president of the association, who was
then on leave from his duties as letter
carrier in order to serve the association,
outwardly removed the influence of that
body from the contest. but the same in
fiuence, 1T was generally acknowledged,
was quietly eXerted throughout the cam
paign.
President Gompers of the Federation Of
Labor went to San Francisco and made
speeches in opposition to the election of Mr..
Loud, and when the result of the voting
was announced Mr. Gompers was perfectly
willing that the responsibility for the result
should be placed on him and the Fedora
