enormously stated. This way of
settling their personal difficulties
may have been a mistaken one.
but as far as can be said about
an affair of this description it was
free from brutality and any un-
fairness, and the tragic ending is
a most lamentable accident.
AT the conclusion of the fight
Midshipman Branch was able to
walk to his room, and there con-
versed with his seconds for a
time. afterward taking a shower
bath and retiring. No fear of
the result being tragic was felt
until the next morning, when he
was found to be unconscious.
The codeat the Naval Academy
absolutely prohibits fighting over
a report. Midshipmen on duty
frequently have to exercise this
authority for the maintenance of
discipline, and it would be just
as serious an offense against their
code for the midshipmen so
reported to challenge the one who
made the report as it would be
for a University of Virginia stu
dent to offend against their code
of honor by cheating at examina-
tiOn."

Baton Rouge Times.
J. M. Lee, general agent for
the Southern Pacific road, who
has been for the past six months
devoting himself to the matter
of securing the rights of way for
the Lafayette Baton Rouge
branch of the road, today said
that he believed that by Dec. 1
the rights of way through the
different parishes would have
been secured by the committees
working for them. AS soon as
these rights of way are secured,
work will begin upon the con-
structiOn of the road.
Mr. Lee says that as soon as
the deeds are turned over to
him, the rails and ties will be
placed on the ground and the
work will be pushed forward.
He estimates THAT, because of
the large amount of bridge work
that will have to be done, the
construction work will cost
something like So, OOO, 600.
Mr.. Lee has now returned to
New Orleans as headquarters
after being out of that city for
three months. He made his
headquarters in Baton Rouge
much of the time, working upon
the right of way matters in this
section. and then left here for
the western end of the proposed
branch line, where he has been
working since the first of Sep
TENDER.
During the past three months,
he has been in.a buggy over the
entire route of the proposed
road, has held conferences with
all of the committees, and an
nounces after these conferences
that the rights of way will be
secured in all of the parishes by
Dec. /.

Pyramids of Egypt will be found
among the many pleasant surprises
Mr.. Archie l.. Shepard offers his
patrons in his finest new collection OF
high class moving pictures to be pre-
scented at the Jefferson Theatre, Fri
day, November II.
The imposing grandeur, the undying
glory, the superb awe-inspiring beauty
of those marvels of mems genius and
labor is brought closely to us by the
photography.
Those unable to spare the expense
and time incurred by a personal visit
to Egypt may see its wonders in the
most vivid and natural reproductions
possible, brought in close proximity
by means of the motion picture camera.
To dilate on their beauty, h~ypothese
regarding their creation, their age
and uses would require unlimited
space, but one notable fact stands
paramount, that of the many wonders
of the world, the Sphynx and Pyra-
mids of Egypt are its Oldest and
greatest marvels. If you have Q the
original, you will find renewed interest
in Mr.. Shepard's vivid reproductions.
For those who have not, or cannot see

low the Prize Fight.
Staff Correspondence Times Democrat
Washington, Nov. 1.-Drastic
measures will probably be taken
by Secretary Bonaparte for the
punishment of all the naval
cadets who had anything to do
with the fight at Annapolis, last
Sunday night. which resulted in
the death of Midshipman Branch
OF New York.
It has already been decided to
reduce the grades of Midshipman
Merriwether of Louisiana, whom
Branch fought, and the seconds
of both participants in the en-
counter. Late this afternoon the
Secretary of the Navy received
the report of the surgeon who
was ordered to make an investi-
CATION of the case. The report
says that Branch died as the re-
suit of a series of blows and not
as the result of one blow or one
fall, in which case it might have
been called an accidental death.
This shows the fight to have
been a savage one. The position
of Branch and Merriwether was
such that, according to the code
which prevails at the academy,
neither could maintain his stand.
ing without fighting. Merri-
wether who thought that Branch,
an upper classman had treated
him unjustly, is said to have in
suited Branch. The matter was
taken to the higher class, and it
was decided that they must fight,
and a challenge was sent to
Merriwether, who promptly &C.
cepted. seconds, a referee and
timekeepers were appointed, and
the fight was on. A clot of blood
formed on the brain of young
Branch and resulted in his death.
Fighting has been tolerated in
the academy since the beginning,
and the graduates have con-
sidered it the only practical
method of settling affairs of honor
between the young students, but
the fatal result of the present
dispute may end the code which
has governed the midshipmen for
a half century, as the attitude of
the President and the Secretary
of the Navy are taken to point to
the abolition of fistic encounters
at the school.
What the action of the Secre-
tary of the Navy will be is as yet
a matter of surmise, but officers
say when his action independent
of the Board of Inquiry in the
matter of the Bennington is re-
membered there may be more
than a reprimand of the students
and an investigation of the con-
ditions of the academy.

Annapolis, Md, Nov. 1O-A
statement coming from within
the Naval Academy and believed
to represent the midshipmen's
version of the fight between Mid
shipmen Merriwetheran inc Branch
and the death of the latter is as
follows:
The fight between Midship-
men Branch and Merriwether
was because of the personal dis
like and trouble between the two
midshipmer, which. eliminated
in the latter personally insulting
the former. Midshipman Branch
did not report Midshipman
Merriwether for any yiolation.o of
regulations. Midshipman Branch
challenged Merriwether as the
result of insulting remarks adj
dressed to him by the latter, and
1t was decided that their differ
ences be settled in the usual
American manly fashion. In
weight there was not : difference
OF over i've pounds between the
two. Both midshipmen were
good physical specimens Of man
hood, Branch having at one time
held the academy lightweight

SITUATION VERY GRAVE
London Opinion on French Action at
Kamranh Raw

The London Times takes a very serious
view of the situation created by the pro-
ceedings of the Russian Baltic meet in Indo-
Chinese waters. In an editorial Yesterday
it says:
In the interests of the peace of the
world We earnestly trust that the govern
ment and people of France do not remain
under any illusion in regard to the great
gravity or the situation which has arisen
from the alleged conduct of the Baltic
fleet off the coast of Indo-China
Inc correspondent of news agency
sends from Hongkong long telesra m
which the French authorities at Saigon
refused TO transmit a few days ago In
this telegram he gives. apparently as an
eye witness, full account of the oDera
tons conducted in French waters for the
reprovisioning of the Baltic fleet and con-
Quoted, not only with the knowledge and
in the presence of the French admiral but
under the supervision of Prince Lieven. can
tain of the Russian cruiser Diana, which
took refuge at Saigon after the disastrous
naval sOrtie from Port Arthur last August
10 and has been interned there ever since.
"Of the serious nature of these facts. If
they are accurately stated, there can be
no two opinions"
After quoting from the message of its
Tokyo correspondent setting forth the
feeling IN Japan as result of the treat
ment the French.-have accorded to Adj
mlrdl 6OJeStVenSky ana the arguments adj
vanced in Tokyo in favor of appealing to
the Anglo-Japanese alliance in order to Sc
cure redress, the Times says the British
people cannot affect to treat with indiffer-
ence the assertions of the japanese press
1t is the duty of England to prevent the
interference of third parties in the Russo
Japanese war.
The Times warns France that 1t would
be a deplorable error to treat the COM
plant of the japanese with light heart.
1t says the French will understand that
any action England may take is inspired
by the strongest wish to avert the posi-
bility of an incident which might dis
solve the entente between England and
France and compel the two countries to
take opposite sides in a great international
controversy.
An intimation follows that Lord Lans-
downe has already spoken very strongly
to France about the alleged breaches of
neutrality in Indo-Chinese waters and the
hope is expressed that France will pay due
attention to Lord Lansdowne's representa-
lions.
