THE PRICE OF WHEAT.
The Figures Fluctuated Throuahout
 the Day at Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 14.- Trading in the wheat pit today was quiet and prices fluctuated within a very narrow range During the first half session sentiment was inclined to be bearish, although the news of the day was of such an in definite character as to be of little value to either the bulls or the bears. A slight decline in the price of wheat at Liverpool caused a depression on the local board at the opening, the May option being unchanged to Is lower at SSasW1a. An increase in primary receipts brought out some selling to- ward noon and the price of May eased off to SSA. Late in the day leading bulls came into the market and because of their purchases the market harden ed The close was firm with the prices at the highest point of the day, the final quotations on May being up % at SS7s.
 The volume of trading in corn was extremely small. The market closed firm with prices up BqA, May at AIS QA. Oats were steady. May closed unchanged at 32as. The active demand for lard and ribs created a firm mar ket. At the close May pork was up DC. Lard gained 71a and ribs were 212 to 5c higher.

MODES MUST GO
 RESULT OF HAZNG
The Navy Department is Determined
 to Break it Up.

Washington, Dec. 14-Hazing of every kind, it was announced today, would be stamped out at the naval academy, regardless of the number of dismissals from the brigade of midshipmen nec- essary to bring about this result. Two midshipmen will be dismissed from the academy within a few days by the secretary of the navy, one for hazing and the other for countenancing it by failure while on duty to report its Oc currence. Other dismissals will fol- low as often as midshipmen are found guilty of haZing or countenancing it.
 Aroused by the condition of affairs, which reports show exist at the acade- my so far as the treatment of fourth class men is concerned. Secretary Bonaparte this afternoon telephoned to Rear Admiral Jas. H. Sands, super ntendent of the academy, requesting him to come to Washington as soon as possible for a conference. This con- ference will be held tomorrow Admir- al Sands arriving here on an early train from Annapolis. It will be the initial step in the new and vigorous campaign to be waged at Annapolis against hazing.
 Admiral Sands will have the unqual- flied support of the navy department in his efforts to abolish the evil and Sec retary Bonaparte today announced that the admiral possessed the full confi- dence of the officials here in his ability to handle the situation to the entire satisfaction of the department. Con gressiOnal investigations of the condi- tions at the academy have already been proposed in a resolution introduced in the house by Representative Loud of Michip1O

still another that it would be unfair to force Arizona into statehood with New Mexico. MT. Adams declared that he belonged to the group which was opposed to either the separate or joint admission of these territories. He complained of the manner in which the president had recommended this legislation to congress.
 General Grosvenor interrupted to say that in this matter President Roosevelt was following the lead of the house, which had declared in caucus for two-state bill General Gros- venor also denied that 95 per cent of the people of Arizona were opposed to jointure and read several clipping from Arizona papers to prove his con tention.
 The most ardent advocates of the policy of leaving Arizona to work out her own destiny were not prepared foI the sensation which followed the action of the caucus. It is plain that the hig1 handed policy of President Roosevelt and Senator Beveridge in respect tC Arizona is far from popular. The events of this day emphasize the state ment l have made in dispatches to the Republican that if the opponents o1 jointure will work unceasingly they have more than a fighting chance tC defeat the unholy scheme which the enemies of the territory are seeking tC put through.

DEBATE RESTRICTED.
The Limited Opportunity Of the Op-
 ponents Of Jointure.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The republi can members Of the house caucus to- day unanimously declared in favor of admitting Oklahoma and the Indian Territory as one state. and by a vote of 110 to 6 declared in favor of ad- hitting Arizona and New Mexico as one state. Both the statehood ques- tions are to be contained in one bill. The conference which resulted in this action took place immediately at the conclusion of the house session and oc- cupied an hour and a half. Opposition to the program was directed against the joining of Arizona and New Mex ico, and it is understood that MT. Adams of Wisconsin and MT. Tawney of Minnesota were the only speakers on this side.
 The program of the leaders was pre- sented at the outset by Mir. Hamilton, chairman of the committee on terri tories, in a resolution which he offer ed. It declared it to be the sense of the conference that one state be made out of Oklahoma and the Indian Ter ritory and one state of Arizona and New Mexico and that the committee on territories be requested to formulate this plan in one bill.
 The Hamilton bill. already introduc- ed, contains the necessary provision to meet this plan and will undoubtedly be the measure reported by the commit tee. Hearings on this bill, on the question of embodying a constitutional amendment prohibiting the sale of liquor in the two territories, were be- gun today. Aside from this question the bill is practically in shape to re- port. The liquor hearings will not be hurried and the plan now seems to be to delay the reporting of the bill until after the holidays. When it is re- ported a rule will be brought in for its immediate consideration by the house.
 The conference had not proceeded long when the debate was limited to five minute speeches, and this action caused complaint by those who are op- posed to the admission of New Mexico and Arizona.
 MT. Cannon took the floor and spoke vigorously for the two state plan. Af- ter Adams and Tawney had opposed it, GrOsvenOr of Ohio took opportunity to read a number of newspaper clip pings giving an account what he term ed the "junket" which a number of members of the house had taken through the territories last summer, at which time they publicly stated they would oppose the admission jointly of Arizona and New Mexico.
 Joint statehood was favored by Rep resentatives Smith of Iowa, Powers and Littlfield of Maine and others. MT. Lacey secured a division of the reso- lution and when both of it's parts had been adopted, Chairman Hepburn on being requested to rule on the reso- lution, stated that the resolution might be taken to have been adopted in it's entirety; that one bill must contain a statehood measure for two states and that there be no division of the ques- tiOn.

 OLD ACCOUNT
Against Present President
 of Prevalent Savings
He Begged that His Relations With the Former Company be Kept Out of the Record.

New York, Dec. 14.-During the in- surance investigation today Edward w. Scott, president of the Provident Savings Life Assurance society. made an earnest appeal to Chairman Arm strong of the investigating committee to exclude from the hearing certain statements bearing on his relations with the Equitable Life Assurance sO- ciety of which he was the former Aus tralian agent Charles F.. Hughss. counsel for the Investigating commit tee had asked Mir. Scott whether tho Equitable Life Assurance society had not a claim of $100.0OO against hita. Scott also declared that there was no such claims against him and to Mir. Hughes presented letters that passed between Scott and President AleXan- der on that subject in 1901. in which President Alexander asked Scott to make a formal admission in writing that his accounts with the society. showing balances of $57. .933 due to th,. society were accurate. In one letter President Alexander wrote that Scott had accepted the accounts. Scott's letter to President Alexander proposed a conference but there was no admis- sion as to the acceptance of the ac- counts.
 When these letters had been read President Scott made an earnest plea to the committee to rule that this sub ject was foreign to the investigation He declared that he had been pursued by enemies several years; that in iSos he caused the arrest and indictment os man. who had engaged with the Equitable Life Assurance society to deliver to it records stolen from tAr Prevalent Savings Life Assurance So- ciety; that a traitOrous bOokkeePeF who was in league with this man was dismissed from the Prevalent society'E employ and that it in connection with these matters his (Mr. ScOtt's) rela- tion with the Equitable were reported
 to the committee in a spirit of re- venge.
 Though Mir. Hughes did not uncover 1 just what the Equitable society's claim against Scott was based on, he brought out from him the statement that the | Equiable society had made such claim upon him and that Scott refused to settle it.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 14,-(Spe- ciaI)-The opponents of joint state hood have every reason to take hope as the result of the caucus of the re- publican members of the house held late this afternoon. While there was entire unanimity of sentiment in favor of the immediate admission Of Oklaho- ma and the Indian Territory as one state. the protest against joining Ari- zona and New Mexico practically amounted to a revolt. A half dozen congressman, headed by MT. Tawney, Of Minnesota, who recently visited Ari- zona, refused to attend caucus and were only induced to remain in the chamber by an cleventh-hour switch, assembling the republicans in a "con- ference" instead of a ''cauCus."
 The vote on the proposition to join Arizona with New Mexico as a state was carried by a vote of 110 to 65, but when it was all over there was more mouthing and kicking than has been

 Speaking of the Spooner law, MT. Morgan expressed the opinion that, properly administered, it is a wise and patriotic measure, but he added that it's operation had been "thwarted by the determined opposition of the presi- dent"
 He criticised the present bill as being a pretense because it does not reduce salaries as the result of the ''presi- dents liberality, generosity or extrav- agance."

ACHIEVEMENTS REPORT.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Secretary Bonaparte received a report from Ad- miral Sands, superintendent of the na- val academy at Annapolis upon the hazing of Midshipman Kimbrough. Ad- miral Sands recommends the summary dismissal of Midshipman Tremore Cof- fin, Jr, third-cla and Midshipman Warren A. Van Doren, second class. IL can be authoritatively stated that if it is in the power of the navy department to stamp out hazing in any form at the academy it will be done speedily.
 The circumstances of the hazing which occurred on Tuesday night are as follows: The victim was Midship- man Jordan E. Kimbrough of German town, Tenn. Last week he was called before the board of officers now in session at the academy inquiring into hazing, fighting and similar practices and compelled to answer certain queS- tiOns. It is said that he had also told some relatives that he had been hazeG and that his relatives laid the matter before the authorities. The hazing on Tuesday night was on account of these two things.
 Midshipman Kimbrough was com pelled to stand on his head then on his feet and then on his head again, re- beating this process ten minutes con- tinuously. At the end of that time he fainted and was left in that condition by the haZers. Later he was found by his room mate still unconscious. The next morning he was carried to the hospital.
 Admiral Sands, had the matter in- vestigated by a board of officers the next morning. Their report showed that Midshipman Trenmore Coffin, Jr. of Carson City, New, member of the third class took part in the hazing and that Midshipman Warren A. Van Dor yer of Mount Holly, N. J., of the sec ond class, was on duty and did not re- port the occurrence.
 Admiral Sands immediately suspend ed the midshipmen and forwarded his recommendation in the matter to the secretary of the navy. He would not state what this recommendation was in advance of it's receipt by Secretary Bonaparte, but it was understood to be for the dismissal of the midshipmen implicated.
