If you have jumping, humping face

YOU must have a dentist rip and dig

The Meriwether Verdict.

The public conscience will yield
general approval to the verdict of
the court-martial in the case of Mid
| shipman Minor Meriwether, OF the
Naval Academy, tried for the hOmi-
eide of a fellow-cadet, Midshipman
James r. Branch, jr The court finds
the defendant guilty of the lesser
charges and condemns him to be
reprimanded by the Secretary of the
Navy and to be confined. within the
Academy limits, for the space of a
year.
The punishment is just and entirely
adequate. OF the circumstances that
found elimination in the death of
Midshipman Branch, Midshipmar
Meriwether was equally the victim.
His standing among his fellows, his
personal prestige as an officer of the
navy, his very continuance at the
institution were ali and ali alike de-
pendent upon his observance of the
code that there obtained He did
not originate il. 1t was a relic of
the past, evolved from the collective
student conscience of past genera
tions. enforced actively by the stu
dent body of the present and con-
nived in, and even tacitly approved.
by the administrative officers of the
Academy.
Through no possible exercise of
discretion was it possible for Meri-
wether to have foreseen the lament
able consequence of his fight with
Branch. He adopted the method
forced upon him by an infexible
military code to wipe out what he
conceived to be a stain upon his
honor. 1t would have been more than
passing strange if navy officers had
inflicted condign punishment for ac-
quiescence in d condition they them
selves had acquiesced in and approv-
ed.
This is not TO defend the code
itself. To its views on that subject
The Times has already and on sew
eral occasions given full expression.
This newspaper does not concede that
a fistic encounter, under prize ring
rules, is the proper method of set
ting question OF honor between
officers and gentlemen. 1t hopes the
Secretary of the Navy will take
measures to end a condition. that
has become intolerable.
But The Times is glad Midshipman
Meriwether has not been made the
scapegoat Of an evil system, in whose
coils he was iEextricably bound.

Democrats Reported as Likely to
Support Dominican Treaty
Return TO the Fold.
ITREQuIRES A TWO-THIRDS VOTE.
The Republican Senators Have Been
Depending on Some support From
the Minority Party.
On Both Sides II Is Now Admitted
There Is Little Prospect That
the Convention vii! Be
Ratified.

washington, March 1.-THE discus
sion of the Dominican treaty in execu-
tive session of the senate resulted in
the drawing of party lines. The demo
Gratis who have been reported as like
ly to support the treaty will return
TO the fold. 1t is said, and on both
sides of the chamber it Is admitted
there is little prospect that the con-
vention will be ratified. The repub-
licans have been depending on some
democratic support and have counted
as certain the votes OF Senators Nc
Emery and Foster Ua.) and Clarke
(Arlx). Senator German, The minority
leader, gave notice that these sena-
tors are now pledged against the
treaty, and IL was stated that Senator
McEnery will recall his telegram au-
thorizing Senator Cullom TO pair him
for the convention. 1t is not expected
that either he or Senator Clarke will
return to Washington to vote. Sena-
tor Foster will remain in Washington
and vote with his party. The repub-
licans had planned to recall their alb
sentees, but it was reported that even
with the full republican strength here
the necessary twc-thirds for ratifica-
tion could not be mustered il there is
no detection of democratic votes.
Vacancies in Republican Ranks.
The depletion of the republican
ranks by reason of the vacancies in
Missouri and Delaware. the absence
of Senator LaFollette. who has not
taken the oath Of Office. and of Sena-
tors Aldrich and Knox is felt greatly
by the republicans. who are striving
for favorable action on the treaty. A
canvass of the senate has not deyel-
oped the necessary twothirds aftirma-
tive votes, even counting all repub-
licans as present or paired. IL the
statement of the democrats that there
will be no division in their party
proves correct. or If the two Louisiana
senators and Clarke (Ark.) should
vote against il. there is no chance for
ratification OF the treaty.
Because of the doubt of ratification.
which was talked seriously for the
first time, the suggestion was made
that action should be postponed until
| after an investigation has been made
| OF all the conditions i'm Santo Domin-
| 20. including the character OF the
claims and the stability OF the Domin-
lean government and the force that
would be required to keep IL intact.
