WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.--Cadet James G.
Steese, who stands first in his class at the
West Point Military Academy, and Cadet
William A. Canoe, who stands forty -seventh,
or exactly in the middle of the same class,
have been sentenced to dismissal for mis-
conduct. Both young men are from Penn
sylvania and are members of the third class
The court martial which convicted and
sentenced them recommended clemency,
and the War Department, in forwarding
the papers to the President to-day for
action, ia understood to have Endorsed the
courts appeal for mercy.
Steese and Canoe were tried for intoIica-
ton and taking undue advantage OF an
Academy regulation. One OF the rules OF
the Academy is that cadet OF high stand
ing i n conduct may with permission accept
invitations to dine outside the Academy.
Steese, Canoe and Arthur II. Calvo, the
son of the Costa Rcan Minister to the
United States, who was cadet at the
Academy by authority OF resolution OF
Congress-, went to Newburgh, to dine at a
hotel there. The testimony Mt the trial
showed that they drank one quart OF
champagne, one quart OF chablls and three
highballs.
The specification to the charge OF taking
undue advantage of an Academy regula-
ton was that the invitation had been OBJ.
tanned from the son Of the proprietor OF
the Newburgh Hotel. and was not such an
invitation az the regulation contemplated:
During the trial it was brought out that
Calvo got the invitation for himself ana
his fellow cadets, and that Canoe, at least,
accepted it in good faith a. being within
the scope of the regulation. The cham
payne, the chablis and the highballs were
too much for the young men, and they be
came sick As result OF the trial the
Costa Rican Government was asked 10
withdraw Calvo and it has done SO.

MIR. AND MRS. RICH CAN'T AGREE.
Neither Can They Oct DiyOrced--They Ask
Judge to Settle Some Disputes.

The marital woes OF William l.. Rich and
his wife, Nancy, are still occupying the at
tention of the courts although some months
ago jury declared them both innocent of
any acts that would entitle either the wife
to separation or the husband to divorce.
They are living together at the Murray Hill
Hotel. but can neither agree whether their
daily dinner shall he table d ote or In carte
nor where they shall send their children
to school. In fact they hold, according to
tho statements OF their lawyers, long and
heated arguments over the most trivial
questions Of everyday life. Al other times
they do not speak.
The children are William, who is 10, and
Helen, aged 10. Supreme Court Justice
Barrett was appealed to yesterday by counsel
for both sides to settle the point Of the
children's education, and he instructed the
lawyers to bring the whole family TO his
private residence when he will advise the
parents IN TO the course they should pursue.

Special Cable Despatch to The SUN.
LONDON. Oct. s.-The Right Hon. Charles
7. Richie, who recently resigned the post
Of Chancellor Of the Exchequer. addressed
his constituents at Croydon to-day and
explained his secession from the Cabinet.
His reception on the whole was friendly,
but there were constant Interruptions by
large section OF Chamberlain followers
who attended the meeting.
The outbreak was OF special vehemence
when Mr.. Richie, in supporting his free
trade argument. warned his hearers that
the adoption Of Mr.. Chamberlain proposal
would arouse the resentment Of the United
States.
The one thing that the people OF this
country would desire TO avoid" said Mr..
Richie. lis to give the United States any
ground for resentment by doing anything
to disturb the relations between ourselves
and them, but there would be resentment
in the United States il Canada were allowed
to send corn to our markets at a rate two
shillings less than the United States
This statement was the occasion for q
babel Of hostile cries, such as They don't
consider u.s." and They exclude us, and
much booing.
Remember" continued Mr.. Richie,
"that the United States could punish
Canada" This called forth loud shouts Of
Nonsense, rot" do.. and chorus OF
hooting and catcalls. Then there was an
outburst Of Rule Britannia, which was
sung Justify, apparently, by majority OF
the audience.
When the audience subsidized Mr.. Richie
reiterated his point and insisted that giving
preference to Canada would inevitably
cause frctio ion with the limited States

The Brooklyn enrolment oo,205. is an

when the weather was fine on the first day
the registration reached 1885,, an average
Of 1856 to district. The registration for
the first two daySs TAFT year was 10e,i7s, so
that it will only require an enrolment Of
45,973 or SO to district to-day, to bring
the total I'D to that of last year for the first

On the surface the Republicans made
the best showing Yesterday in the Assem-
bly, districts in which they have a normal
plurality, giving an average enrolment
of about 11s in each election district, while
the strong Democratic districts had an

HIGH TIDE or WAGES REACHED
Chicago Employers Think Tumble VIII
Come This Winter,

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Employers throughout
the city feel that the high tide of wages has
been reached. Unionism cannot force pay
higher than it is now, they say.
"Retrenchments are the order of the
day declared w. Z. Glow of J. B. Glow
& Sons, treasurer Of the Employers AS
ISOLATION. THE unions have undone them
selves. Before the winter is over men will
be laid off in every line of industry.
Workers have limited production. For
instance, the unions have caused one OF
our employees tomake only thirty pieces of
a certain kind of work when he can do
seventy. Employees must change their
tactics and work under full head of steam.
They now have the biggest trust in the
country.
Il look for read just ment that will restore
business to its normal condition. The
effect Of high wages, wages forced up I'M
naturally by monopoly, will be seen first
in the discharge of employees. The tumble
will begin some time this winter
S. l.. Thompson, speaking for the As
ISOLATION Of General Managers of Railroads
centring In Chicago, said
Prosperity for wage earners has reached
its height. In view Of the attitude of rail-
road companies, it is unlikely that any
further increases will be granted. If re-
auctions are made it will be in tho number
of men employed, and not in the amount
Of wages paid. Such action, however, will
follow only slump In industry"
Secretaries Of the Employers Associa =
ton say that the tendency among business
men is to retrench. The action Of the
Steel Corporation in reducing production
has given the cue to smaller capitalists,
and before next spring there will be idle men
and jobs hard to find, in the opinion of men
who deal with the labor nninns

AN ULTlMATUM TO RUSSIA?
JAPAN SAID TO HAVE SENT ONE
WHICH EMPIRES TOMORROW.

Russian Troops Said to he Massins
ON the Corean B0rder--Feeling In
European Centres That War VIII Come.

Special Gable Despatch TO THE SUN.
LONDON, Oct. 10.--A despatch to the
Morning Post from Chefoo says it is per-
sistently rumored that Japan has sent an
ultimatum to Russia in reference to the
evacuation Of Manchuria. It Is said that
the ultimatum expires on Sunday.
The Russians at Chefoo have armed
themselves, fearing that trouble may be
melted by the preponderating Japanese
element there. The correspondent believes
that the situation Is grave.
1t is understood that Admiral Alexieff,
the Russian Vlceroy Of the Far East is con-
Quoting joint naval and military manouvres
about Port Arthur this week. Some ninety
Russian warships are engaged in the naval
man9uvres.
The Times correspondent at Vienna
sends confirmatory information Of
Russia's extraordinary preparations
for the contingency of war with
Japan. He quotes a well informed per-
sonage from st. Petersburg as saying that
the Russian military authorities expect
a war to break out in few weeks. The
railways Of the whole trans Caspian dis
trict have been seriously crippled by the
drafting Of men and materials for the Far
East.
The Paris correspondent Of the Standard
says he has good authority for stating
that the Russian feet has left Port Arthur
and is cruising OF Masampho, Corea, in
sight Of the Japanese feet.
Neither nation has yet landed troops
in Corea, but the Governor General of Man
churia has concentrated several brigades
on the frontier. 1t is believed officially,
however that the negotiations now pending
at Toxic will result in a satisfactory issue.

Specta! Cable Despatch to The sun.
MANILA, Oct 9.-The Government Ia
making strenuous efforts to capture Inspec-
tor Hermann and Supply Officer johnson
Of the oonstabulary, who o few days ago
seized the steamer Victoria at Mindanao
with the announced intention of becoming
pirates
At the request Of Gov. Taft Rear Admiral
Stirling has ordered the gunboats Albay
and Samar from Zamboanga and Jolo to
join the coast guard vessels that are pa
trolling the Jolo Sea on the lookout for the
piratical craft. The gunboats Pampanga
and Isla de Cuba left Manila tonight to
search for the pirates. This makes eight
armed boats that are actively engaged in
the search, in addition to number Of coast
ing vessels.
The ports are being watched. and it is
believed that it will not be long before the
pirates are captured, especially as the coast
Of Borneo. whittier they said they were
going, Is inhabited by semi-savages, who
will make 1t impossible for them to land
there. It will also be impossible for them
to land in Java, and the uncharted small
islands will not afford shelter to many men
for any length Of time.
It is believed that Hermann and johnson
are hiding the Victoria in one OF the numer-
GUS inlets Of the Island Of Mindanao. The
Victoria left Cagayan on Sept. 20, osten-
sibly bound for Miss aInis, Mindanao. She
has not been heard Of since she halted
another steamer and replenished her coal
bunkers. There is little danger Of the
Victoria running short Of fuel, as all the
islands are heavily wooded and it would
be easy for her to obtain a supply.
Hermann was formerly drum major of the
Ninth Regiment. He received an honora BILE
discharge and a personal recommendation
from Col. Robe, the commander OF that
regiment. He had served two years in the
constabulary. johnson was for three years
q non commissioned officer. He entered
the constabulary with high recommended
ton from Col. Myer OF the Eleventh In
fantry. A corporal and q private accom-
panied them on their piratical expedition.
SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. 9.-Lieut. c. F.

this county, where he lived with his aunt,
Mrs. Kate Hill. He is about % years old
and Ave years ago enlisted In the Govern
ment service at Philadelphia. His rela-

tude in the service, was rapidly promoted
