following letter to Midshipman Meri-
wether at Annapolis:
Sir; You have been duly convicted
Of violating clause 3 of art. s of ne
articles for the government Of the nav
by insulting and subsequently assault
ing one of your fellow nlidshipmen and
of conduct to the prejudice Of good dis
cipline and order by engaging Ia q fist
fight with the same midshipman. These
offenses on your part have led to q
calamity so clearly unforeseen by you
and so distressing that no words Of
reproof can be needed to make you feel
their gravity.
your disobedience to the laws Of
your country, your forgetfulness OF the
full import Of your oath, your yielding
TO fierce and angry passions when
tempted by a sense OF wrong, have
borne fruits so bitter that your worst
punishment has already been suffered.
The lnerciful sentence of thu court which
tried you leaves you member of the
honorable profession you have chosen.
In that great school of sslf-sacrifice
and obedience, life useful to your
country will, it is hoped, alone forgive
faults which have clouded the early
years Of your service.
You viii acknowledge the receipt Of
this letter, and it win be entered on
your official record"

SOME IMPORTANT CHANGES

Washington, Dec Representative
0verstreet, at the first meeting of the
post office committee yesterday, laid be-
fore the committee as its chairman q
general outline of postal changes and
reforms that have suggested themselves
to him. He asked the eighteen members
Of the committed TO think over the sllg-
gestions until the regular department
appropriation bin was prepared, when he
would ask the committee to decide
whether or not it wished to undertake
TO work the changes proposed. The pol
icy he outlined provided in brief,
First--A single reelassiiication of mail
matter.
Seeond--P Possibly an increase in rates
on second-class matter.
Third-Some changes in transporta-
ton which would provide that bulky
seeond-class mail should pay an extra
postage, where il was desirable to have
1t make the time Of first-class matter.
Fourth Restriction or the abolition of
the Thanking privilege.
Ffth--An increase in the pay Of GER
tain classes Of postal employees in case
the changes proposed reduce the deficit
materially.
Slxth--A reduction on letter postage
at some time in the future provided the
deficit disappeared under the operation
OF the reforms proposed.
The members Of the committee APP
peared to think well Of the suggestions
made. II the programme should be
adopted the committee would probably
not attempt TO work out more than two
OF the reforms at this session.
Interested just now Is conferred in the
contest over the Chicago postmastership.
The President wants to reappoint Mr..
Coyne, the present postmaster. The
two senators are Directing. Tuesday
they recommended Fred Busy. Yester-
day Busy indicated that be would not
accept. Senators are threatening to
hold up rate legislation anless the Pres
ident follows their recommendations.
