LONDON February 1o.-Rear- Admiral
Basil Cochrane. retired, in a letter pub
lished by the London Times to-day,
makes astounding revelations regarding
the 'barbarous system" prevailing among
the guards regiments for the punishment
Of subalterns who are found guilty of so
cial or military offenses.
According 10 Admiral Cochrane, the
colonel OF one battalion has been in the
habit Of handing over Offending officers to
the senior subaltern; the latter sum
mons a court-martial. at which the at
tendance OF all the subalterns is exacted.
and the sentence is almost invariably
logging.
This Is administered on the bare back.
after the removal of all the clothing.
and from six to forty blows with cane
arc given with such severity that the
All the officers present, even the most
Intimate friends of the victim, are COM
pelled to administer their share of blows.
FORCED TO RESIGN.
The Admiral cites the instance of a
young officer who tainted after receiving
forty strokes. and he also refers to the
case of his own nephew, who is not
named. but who clearly is Captain Leve-
son-Gower. who, for unintentional mill
tary fault, was tried and fogged. Subse-
quently. according to Admiral Cochrane,
his nephew was punished with great Sc
verify by Major-General Oliphant Cform-
erly commander of the GrenadIer Guards)
for a petty fault. and in consequence of
continued il-treatmcnt resigned his com
mission last week.
When Lord Roberts. the commander-in-
chief, was informed of these occurrences
through relatives, he severely repri-
manded Colonel Ricardo, commander Of
the Grenadler Guards, and placed Lieu
tenant-Colonel Kinloch, of the same regi-
ment. on half pay.
That such a ''reyolting custom" could
prevail among "ofiicers and gentlemen
or could be submitted to by full l-growns
men, has caused a very great sensation.
The whole subject will be fully aired in
Parliament.

WELDON. N. c., February l0-Partic-
ulars of sensational tragedy in North
ampton county Saturday night, in which
a drunken man., three badly frightened
ladies and a shotgun all played important
parts, reached here to-day.
A white man named Cook went to
Jackson and procured a jug OF whiskey
at the dispensary. which he claimed at
tho time was for; medicine. He imbibed
rather freely, and when he started home
that night he lost his bearings and en-
tered the front gate at Mrs. ]. j. Mar
tins. thinking he was at home. Mrs
Martin and her two daughters were alone
in the house and had retired. The man
knocked at the door, but the frightened
ladies made no response. Cook then,
thinking his mother had locked him out
as usual when he returned home late at
night, proceeded to break the door down
and stumbled into the room. Mrs. Mar
tin and daughters jumped from back
window, barefooted and in their night
robes, and ran half mile in pouring
rain to Mr.. Whit Stevenson's. son-in-
law, and reported that the house had
been broken into by a burglar.
Mr.. Stevenson got his gun and went
back to Mrs. Martins. A dim light in
the room revealed to him the figure of
a man. sitting in chair. Stevenson
blazed away right through a window.
and the man fell out on the floor.
Thinking he had killed him he ran over
to a near farm house. where two Z Of
Mrs. Martins sons lived, and told what
had happened. The two boys accompa-
MED him to the Martin home, and when
they entered the room where they ex-
pected to find a burglar cold In dea til
their surprise was great when they saw
that the man had taken off coat and
shoes and was In bed fast asleep. They
then saw that it was Cook In u drunken
stupor. They took him to Jackson
where Dr. Lewis picked out twenty-four
shot from his shoulders, neck and tho
side of his face. Cook was then placed
in Jail. When seen yesterday he had
sobered considerably, and said 1t was all
a mistake. He thought he was at home,
and did not know he had been shot. He
knew there was blood on his face when
he got into the bed, but thought he had
scratched his face in falling about.
The case Is remarkable and is puzzling
the authorities not little as to what
the outcome will be. Cooks wounds
strange to say, are not serious.

creation OF Department Of Commerce.
the bill for the establishment of which
Is now practically a law. Each house
has passed bill for the new depart
ment, and the Committee OF Conference
has agreed and reported. The House
to-day passed the amended bill.
It was about seven years ago that the
and adopted resolutions calling upon the
Congress to establish department, pre-
sided over by Cabinet officer. which
should have charge OF the great bust
ness interests Of the country at home
and abroad. In few days the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
of Baltimore adopted similar resolu-
tiona. but It was Richmond that led the
way.
General Crittenden. Of Missouri. while
he was minister to Mexico, during the
last administration of Mr. Cleveland,
suggested the creation of department:
OF commerce, which should nave charge
OF the general business affairs of the
country, and especially Of the consular
service. The National Travellers Pro-
tective Association met in San Antonio
in 1895 and a large number of the dele
gates went on an excursion to the City
of Mexcio. General Crittenden addressed
the visitors, and in the course of his
speech urged the erection of a business
department OF the government. Sf
His suggestion at once found favor
with the travelling men, and they di-
rectcd the Legislative Committee to set
to work to secure the passage of a bill
creating such department.. Colonel Jno.
S. Harwood, of Richmond. was the chair
man of the committee. and he has oc-
cupied this position as leader of the
fight ever since. The first bill was In
troduced January n. 1896. IT has been
possible at several sessions to have one
branch adopt the measure. but never
possible heretofore to have the Senate
and House pass the same bill at the
same session.
Colonel Harwood and his committee
have spent a great deal Of the past six
years here In Washington working for
the bill. Especially active has been Mr..
J. G. simering, Who In addition to be-
ing member Of the Legislative Com
rnittee, Is chairman of the Republican
